MERIWETHER CHEERED
HOUSE APPROVES THE MIDsHIP-
MANS RESENTMENT OF INSULT.

After clearing the pension calendar OF
80 bills the House today decided to put on
Its passage the Senate bill for the preven-
ton of haZng at the Annapolis Naval
Academy. This order was made by the
adoption. without opposition, of a special
rule presented by Mr.. Dalzell from the
committee on rules.
The pension legislation was begun at
once. The pension legislation was COM
pleted in an hour and the hazing bill was
at once taken up.
Mr.. Rixey of Virginia proposed a SUBJ
stitute and Mr.. Vreeland of New York,
chairman of the special committee on haz-
ing, took the floor to detail his impress
sions resulting from the inquiry.
Meriwether's Action Applauded.
He reviewed the preliminary trouble be-
tween Midshlpmen Meriwether and Branch
leading to the fight which resulted in the
death of Branch. Branch. he said, had in
suited Meriwether by criticising the ap-
pearance of a picture of his grandmother
and of the spelling in a letter from her
Il say that a boy who would not resent
such an insult is not fit to carry his coun-
tlys flag or a commission In the navy
calculated Mr.. Vreeland, to the appIauseof
members.
Mr.. Pearre CMd.) sought to get the source
OF the committees information on this
point.
Mr.. Vreeland objected to being cross
questioned after he had stated the infor-
nation came from the superintendent OF
nidshipmen, and was entirely reliable.
He felt, in view of the purpose of the ed
ucation at Annapolis that a prison disci-
pline was not the proper one; that SO far
as possible the cadet body SHOULD be self
governing. In his judgment the academy
officials already had taken the necessary
steps TO enforce discipline
Mr.. Vreeland condemned the present haz-
Ing law, which left no discretion but to dis
miss boy for haZing when ten dement's
might be a sufficient punishment for the
particular offense. AS to the sentence of
Midshipman Meriwether to confinement for
year. he declared presidential pardon
ought to be extended.

Hon. Coe |. Crawford
sends word to his Hand
county friends that he is
specially pleased with the
result here, having always
looked upon this section as
neighborly territory. While
many republicans here
were willing to give Gov.
Elrod (who is a good man)
another term, yet all were
at heart friends of Craw-
ford and hoped some day to
not only see him governorbut
United States senator. He
will now most likely reach
both of the positions within
the next three years. 1t
was the Sun last winter that
printed the first authentic
announcement of Craw-
ford's candidacy for COVER
nor, upon the authority
of Senator Gamble, and
the notice was given
prominence in the daily pa
pers under a Miller date
line some two months before
it was given out from HUI
ron. Mr.. Crawford may
well feel pleased with Hand
county, His admirers were
willing that he should wait
a little longer but when they
realized at the last that
their help might be the de-
ciding factor at Sioux Falls
they were for him.

Final Report of Committee Investigating

Completed.
SUITS PENDING AGAINST OFFICERS

indianapolis, April 9.-The final re-
port of the Investigating committee
that has been at work in the state au-
ditor's office has been completed. 1t is
said to cover every phase of the work
done by the insurance commissioners.
While nothing official has been given
out it is understood that it finds about
as follows:
That ex-Auditors Rice, Carr, Hender-
son and Daily took fees and moneys
that belong to the state-Rice to the
extent of about $4,000, Carr about
$4,000, Henderson about 100000 and
Daily about $4,000. Suits are now
pending against Henderson and Daily.
It Is understood that the state cannot
recover from either the Rice or the
Carr estate and the attempt will be
made to collect from the insurance
companies the taxes illegally paid to
these auditors by the companies. This
amounts. to about $4,000 in each case.
1t shows total of about 100000 in
all, including the part not collectable
from the Rice and Carr estates.

England's Richest Woman Loses in
Parliamentary Contest.
London, April 9.-The bye-election
In the Eye division of Suffolk, in con-
sequence of the resignation of F. s.
stevenson, resulted in the election of
III. Pearson, Liberal, son Of Sir Weet-
man Pearson, by majority of 1877
over the Marquis of Graham, Conser'
.vatiye, eldest son of the Duke of Mont
rose. In the last contested election in
Eye, held in 1900, the Liberal majority
was 1,517.
/ The campaign has been one of the
most lively Of recent years and was
known as the ladies battle because
the most prominent figures in it were
Lady Mary Hamilton, the richest wo-
man of Great Britain, who is engaged
to be married to the Marquis of Ora
ham, and the young wife Of Pearson.
The small Liberal majority is chiefly
due to the immense popularity in the
country of Lady Mary, who appealed
personally to the voters and asked
them to give her as a wedding present
the election to parliament of her fu-
ture husband
