not to touch it's principal of $aa. OOO, 900.
The buildings and administration ex-
penses have been paid for out Of the

long time building, and President SoE-

The difference between MCCLELLAN

promises for a campaign and a far differ

Annapolis on the Kearsarge.

AS details of the tragedy in the turret
OF the Kearsarge come to hand the pa
triotic pride of every American citizen
must be uplifted by the courage and
s~elf-sacrifce displayed by all who were
in the danger zone-indeed, by all the
men on the ship.
One fact is specially worthy o notice
at this time, when 30 much criticism is
being levelled at the Naval Academy
and the training which it affords. This
fact. is the superlatively humane and
generous attitude of the officers toward
their men. The story of Lieutenant
HUDGINs dragging Ordinary Seaman
KING out of range Of the flames and in
terposing his own body to save the man
reads like a tale from the heroic days Of
Rome. The reciprocal attitude Of the
men toward their officers, including
their expressions of affeotionate regard
for HUDGINs, forms the complement Of
the story. Officers who are held in such
esteem by their subordinates are leaders
of men by right of fitness.
There is every reason to assume that
the two commissioned officers who were
In the Kearsarge's turret when the dis
aster took place simply represent the
ideals and the standards of the service
the ideals and conception of duty which
are the net products of the Annapolis
course. The incident is more inform
ing than all the abstract arguments
of all the precisians who W. held up
their hands in holy horror at the "bru-
tally" of a boxing match between cadets.
1.-THE young men who enterthe Academy
are shaped by the system and shape each
other into such types of heroic manhood
as HUDGINs, it would be worse than fatu-
Gus to insist on many changes.

COOPER ESTATE SATISFIED
And Last Suits Against Lawson and Weldon
field Disc continued.

United States Circuit Judge Lacombe
yesterday ordered the disoontinuance with
out costs Of the suit OF Edith G. Bryce,
LLOYD Bryce, John E. Parsons and Edwin
F. Bedell, as executors Of Edward Cooper,
against Thomas W. Lawson and Camille
Weidenfeld, the Bay State Gas Company
and George Wharton Pepper as receiver.
This puts an end to the long litigation in the
Federal and State courts Of three States
over the sale by Mr.. Cooper to the Bay State
Gas through Lawson and Weidenfeld OF
the stock Of the Trenton Water Power
Company.
Judge Laoombe conditions the closure Of
the suit on fulflment Of DEGREES entered
In the Federal courts Of Massachusetts, and
New Jersey. The Massachusetts, decree
ordered Lawson to transfer to Cooper's
executors the entire capital stock Of the
Trenton Water Power Company, which
Lawson had held when the Bay State Gas
failed as security for alleged liens. He
was also ordered to pay to the receiver
$3.50 900 in settlement OF claims OF the Bay
State Gas Company against him
A decree entered in the United States
circuit Court Of New Jersey on April II
authorized Pepper. as receiver of the gas
company, to pay to the executors of Cooper
$ls5, 600 out Of Lawson's $3.50 600, with in
terest at 9 per cent. from August 10, 1893
and $500 costs In fulhlment OF the original
agreement between Cooper n Lawson ae
promoter of the combination. This was
likewise conditioned upon Cooper's eXecu-
tors transferring the stock In litigation to
Receiver Pepper.

he Disposed OF at Auction.
A collection Of more than 500 Oriental
u the property Of John Kimberly Num-
ford, are to be sold at auction at the Fifth
Avenue Art Galleries on the afternoons Of
April rs, 20, q and 20. Mr.. Mumford Is
the author of Oriental Rugs" a book which
attracted the attention Of collectors, A
catalogue containing good illustrations Of
several Of the best rugs has been issued
and for 1t Mr.. Mumford has written a brief
introduction. He says:
Nine-tenths of these rugs are genuinely
old; three-hfths Of them / know 1t would bs
out Of the question 10 replace four or five
years hence. and perhaps half Of them it has
already become practically impossible TO d1-
plicate. OF the larger carpets some are an
tique and immensely rare. some are pure
native products Of a more recent date, ana
upon a limited number scientific processes
have been used to tone dow the colors. In
my judgment the only crime and the only
fault with regard to these toned or washed
carpets lies in declaring to an ineXpert puT-
chaser that they are genuinely old, and that
the ~softness of the colors is due to the passage
Of the years or centuries. AS the collection
stands / believe there is no piece that is not
In it's class worthy, sound and above all honest
%reproach.
The catalogue describes each rug that
ia to be sold, and goes into detail concerning
some OF the offerings.

ONE the agents Of the unions In the
collection Of the dues by which the
unions are maintained. 1t is proposed
to equalize wages by doing away with
the fair reward of individual activity
and efficiency. 1t is proposed to make
a short term contract, with every prob
ability that the whole business must be
threshed over again when that expires.
The operators have given the miners
q fair hearing. They have met them at
least half way in proposals for a fair
settlement of any questions which may
either rightly or reasonably be taken
up. They offer fairly to submit the wage
question to the Strike Commission, and
most reasonably propose that the min
ers return to work with the understand
ing that the finding Of the commission
shall be retroactive In case it's decision
calls for higher wages.
Mr.. MITCHELL's position is unsound
and untenable. He has ordered a strike
which has already cost the miners sew
eral million dollars in lost wages. He
has forced into idleness thousands OF
men who we're reasonably content with
their lot and who preferred to go on
with their work. He has shown a dis
creditable obstinacy n refusing to con-
sent to a settlement "on a just and per-
manent basis" He has dropped out Of
step with the President, who stood his
friend three years ago. AS the active
instigator Of a strike which should have
been avoided, 1t is impossible not to hold
him In large measure responsible for the
rioting and the deaths which have al
ready occurred and for those which may
occur.
The mine owners say that they have
nothing further to offer. There does
not seem to be anything which they
could offer except surrender to unreal
sonable demands.
