Appnrent Conflict Of Laws.

The doubt in the mind of the Navy de-
partment regarding the limits of its juris-
diction arises from the apparent conflict
between an act of June %, 1874. which calls
for the trial by court martial of cadets
found guilty of hazing and that of March
g. 1903 which provides that ANY cadet
found guilty of participating in or counten-
ancing such practices shall be summary
dismissed"
Hazing at the academy was the subject OF
two conferences today between Admiral
Sands and Secretary Bonaparte. The adj
miral informed the secretary that the cadet
and cadet petty officers at conference
which the admiral held with them several
days ago voluntarily pledged him their sup
port on his insistence upon a strict
obedience to all rules of tho academy.

The whitest City In the World.

There cannot possibly be a whittier
city than Cadiz unless it be built Of
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take a trip on one Of the
small steamers which ply between the
ports of Morocco and Spain. AS you
near the coast you see in front Of you
a white mass, which appears to be
floating upon the water, just as you
are. The first thought of a foreigner is
that he is in sight Of an iceberg. The
white mass, glittering in the sun and
rendered more dazzling by the blue sea
and Sky, looks exactly like a monster

The Grand Army's New Head.

Corporal james Tanner, the new head
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic, is
one Of the youngest men ever elected
to that office and has long been a con.
spicuous figure among the veterans Of
the civil war.
James Tanner was born in Schollarie
county, N. Y, in 1914. Soon after the
civil war broke out he enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Eighty-seventh New York
regiment. At the second battle of Bull
Run Tanner, then a corporal, was so
badly wounded by a shell that it was
necessary to amputate both his legs.
After his wounds healed he was APP

assembly, going thence to Washington,
where he became a clerk in the war
department. In 1866 he removed to
New York city, where he spent several
years in the study Of law. Having re-
ceived an appointment in the New
York custom house, he was later made

Adventures of the Explorers Moor

GrOIt ana HearSey.
In the year 1912 Tibet was entered

Singh sent word to us to come and pay
our respects to the wazir's son in a
council assembled with the lama and
he son of the deba. We proceeded
about 8 o'clock, attended by the pundit
and three or four other servants, car
rying the presents for these people.
The presents consisted Of three Yards
of superfne scarlet b%roadcloth, some
sugar and spice, all arranged on a
brass plate. We first entered a gate
over against which was fastened q
very large and handsome dog, some.
thing Of the Newfoundland breed. We
then had to stoop to enter another door,
filthy enough, stencil abominable. We
then proceeded up a few steps of earth
and stones, all broken. We turned tc
the right and entered a small ante
chamber, to the right Of which was
the women's room.
"a greasy, filthy purdah was then
lifted up. and we entered the parlor.
Here we found a clean mirZal, or Door
wooden carpet, spread for us in the
center Of the room. In front was a
vacant seat, opposite to which our
presents were placed. On the right sat
the lama on a cushion; before him was
placed a kind of tea poy (three legged
table,, on which We're two wooden var
nished plates, painted and gilt. There
was also a fire pan. The old gentleman
appeared about seventy years old, had
a shreWd countenance, said very little
and eyed US all the time. He was
dressed IN a coarse wooden red gar.
ment, the manufacture Of the country
greasy and dirty in the extreme. This
was the bishop Of this see.
He had another priest sitting to his
right, more black, more filthy and more
ugly than himself. Opposite to me sat
the son of the deba. a dark, but sensi.

son, aged about Twenty-Five or thirty.
He had a paper in his hand at our en-
trance, as if in the act Of writing. He
was seated on a leather cushion stuffed
with wool, owe which was a CARPET:
before him was a sort of small table,
on which were two of the wooden
plates before mentioned, a china Gun,
an inkstand, a wooden pen and a knife.
To his right lay a long silver pipe. He
was dressed in a red, blue, green and
yellow striped wooden gown"
Very suspicious We're the old priest
and his fellows, though a letter from a
neighboring seat Of government ex
planned to them that Moorcroft and
Hearsey really were harmless pilgrims
and not the dreaded Firingis and re-
quested that they might be permitted
to proceed. On the next day, however,
matters were again somewhat compli.
Gated by the discovery that Hearsey
wore half boots of the English pattern.
When the natives discovered this they
thought that something was surely
wrong. Moorcroft, in his narrative,

ish, he himself having taken the pre-
caution of having turned up toes added
