ALTHOUGH the success OF the new
ferry line between this city and Wash
inpton was assured from the beginning,
its patronage during the six weeks it
has been in operation is encouraging to
the company, showing just apprecia-
tionfof the enterprise of its officials. The
new machinery of the boat is now run
ming smoothly and hourly trips are be
lug made between the two cities on
schedule time. As has been stated, the
contract for another boat, duplicate t
the Woodbury., has been awarded, and
during the coming spring, when it shall
have arrived here, boats will be run
every haf-h0ur 1t has been suggested
that the new steamer be named the Cal
lahsn, after the energetic manager OF
the line, which will meet with the unan-
imous approval of the many friends and
acquaintance of that gentleman both in
this city, Washington and the surround
ing country.

Nellie Grant, daughter of President
Grant, was joined in marriage to Alger-

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. IA, 1905.

NOTWITHSTANDING the testimony OF
Witnesses before the cOurtmartial Of
Midshipman Meriwether whose fight
with Midshipman Branch ended in the
latter's death, that hazing had ceased at
the;Naval academy, case of hazing,
which left its victim unconscious

brough, member of the fourth, or
"plebe," class, after being brutally
treated. was carried to the academy hos
ptal Yesterday morning suffering from
extreme exhaustion, induced by firing
PHYSICAL exercise. He was subjected
t. this torture in his Groom in Bancroft
Hall the previous night. Another of
the same class, Henry G. Cooper, jr., OF
Oxford. n. c., is also in the hospital,
having suhered.a stroke of paralysis OF
the entire right side of the body while
in a classroom yesterday. Cooper de-
clares he has not been subjected to
the running" by any of the upper
class men for the last three months, but
since he has been at the hospital it is
learned that hemorrhage of the brain has
occurred to him, and for this reason there
appears to be some doubt as TO the matter.
In connection with the hszing OF Kim
brough it is stated freely by midshipmen
that the practice has been going on this
wear with redOubled vigOr. While un-
der the pledge to abstain from hazing,
which they gave to Admiral BrOwnson,
the previous superintendent, the only
form was running" which the mid
Shipmen differentiated from hazing. Now
the midshipmen have gone back to haz-
ing in its most virulent form. 1t is said
that midsbipmeD will 90 to any length
except perjury to protect other midship-
men. but their behavior in the above
mentioned cases looks like they do moi
stop at perjury. That hazing can be stop
ped at the naval academy, or at any
other institution, goes without saying,
that is if the officials in charge want to
stop hsziDg.

demand upon the operators for full
and complete recognition of the miners
union in the hard coal region. There
will be other demands including the

verted if necessary to the chief issue,
the recognition of the union. Mr.. John

In DEFENSE of his action in going
against the action of the democratic
caucus on the rate bill in the last Can-
cress. Mr.. Shacklelord stated in the
House yesterday in his attack upon Mr..
Williams that "his duty was first to the
sovereign people Of his sovereign con-
gressional district, and that he placed
that duty far above any allegiance which
he owed to a party caucus" This again
shows the wisdom of Mr.. Williams in
dlsplacing Mr.. Shacklelord from the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. Mr.. Lamar's exhibition Of
himself on the floor of the House yes
terdsy was also another good reason for
his removal from the committee by Mr..
Williams.

the three s1OO 600 men who are connected with

HOUSE.

Representative Nicholas Longworth,
of Ohio, whose engagement to Miss
Alice Roosevelt has been announced,
was the center of attraction for the
visitors in the galleries and the members
upon floor of the House when the House
met today. Democrats and republicans
in a steady stream walked over to the
seat of the Ohio member and congratu-
lating him, pronounced him "ucky
man." In committee of the whole the
House again gave consideration to the
resolution providing for the distri-
button to committees of the matters
touched upon by the President in his
annual message. The controversy as to
whether the Presidents recommendations
on the question of insurance regulation
should be referred TO the committee on
ways and means or the committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce was re-
samed.
