FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. l. 1905.

Is THE manual of the U. 5. Naval
Academy issued in 1887 penalty was
provided for striking, asssulting, using
provoking words or threatening gestures
to any one in the naval service, or any
one in the academy" This was omit
ted in the manual,for 1901, which only
contained a general provision against
"disorderly conduct" There has been
an increase since 1901 of fighting among
the midshipmeu, which involves striking
and ASSEMBLING, and there seems to have
been an increase in the use OF provoking
words and threatening gestures, which
are the causes of The fights. 1t is a rea-
sonabIe interference, says the Philadel-
phia Record, that the change in the
manual has encouraged offensive conduct
and the consequent resort to the prizs

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, ID. c.. Dec. l.
Press, public and politicians are pretty
well agreed as to what constitutes the
most important problem which the 59lh
Congress, beginning next Monday will
have to solve. Rate legislation is the
one oversbadowing issue, and an issue
clearly defined. The President insists
that the power to fix maximum rate,
TO take effect within reasonable time,
must be conferred on some administTa-
tive body; bis opponents, led by Senator
Foraker, are insistant that any addition
al safeguards to those already provided
by law be vested in the courts, Around
these propositions the battle will be
fought, and as yet victory is too remote
to permit of practical prediction. 1t may
be said, however, that the House will
readily scquiesce in the Roosevelt pro-
gramme, whatever that may be. The real
struggle will come in the Senate, and

necessary for Congress to make an in

Academy. "Fist fights between cadets
at the academies" said Mr.. Lacey,

vestigatiOu. There is ample authority
in existing law and regulations to put a

St. Petersburg, Dec. Fears that a
great financial crash is overtaking Rus
STA. are increasing, and financiers dc not
know how to stop the continual drain
which has been proceeding for the past
weeks on the country's money. There
is no doubt that the banks are getting
dangerously near the bottom of their
ready money supply, though every effort
is being made to conceal the true state OF
affairs. Practically nobody is willing to
buy government bonds and everybody
holding them are anxious to sell. The
first definite declaration that the govern
ment is being hsmpered in its financial
obligations comes today in the form OF
an intimation to the numerous govern
ment officials that they will not be given
the extreme amount of money due them
as Christmas bonus. The possibility Of
the government having new paper money
not backed by gold reserve, is being
seriously discussed.

shall be Identical in all respects with
those proposed by the powers for the

Approaching Execution of Mrs.
Rogers.

Windsor, VT, Dec. IA. E. Cas-
worthy, one of the directors Of the Yer
mont State prison, stated today that
there is no foundation for the reports
current that The execution of Mary Rog-
ers for the murder of her husband, would
mean the taking of two lives. He de-
clared that an examination by the pris-
on physician absolutely substantistes
this fact. The Rogers woman's personal
attorney, f. B. Finn, of Springfield,
Vermont, who has been given as author
ity for the story, said this morning that
he had not authorized the publication of
any such report, and that so far as be
knows, there was no foundation for it,.
He stated that he saw no means Of pre-
venting the execution unless Governor
Bell should eventually change his mind
and decide to commute the sentence.
All preparations for the hanging next
week have been completed. Sheriff
Peck will not officiate, claiming that his
health is poor, and therefore he has
designated his chief deputy, r. A. Shat
ford, to spring the trap. The work of
erecting the gallows will begin next
Tuesday morning.
