The Weather Bureau last night ar
nOunced that another tropical distnrb-

MONDAY EVENING. OCT. 1, 1905.

WITH THE opening of the college year
the usual reports OF hazings and PUSHES
and general rufiianism, organized or I'M
organized, begin to appear in the news
papers. Ga Thursday a sophomore at
Columbia, in New York, was seriously
injured in a senseIess collision between
The two lower classes at that institution
on South Field. That night the same
Columbia classes created riotous scenes
al Fort Lee. This fall there have been
systematic campaigns of disorder prevail
ing at a few unprogressive colleges,
where night after night freshmen in their
beds were routed out to play pranks for
rhe amusement of sophomores. AS the
result of brutal haziDg by University OF
Pennsylvania students at midnight Oh
Thursday, student lies in dangerous
aondition in the University Hospital.
At least five other students, one OF them
sophomore, we're also taken to the hos
pital for treatment. SIch performances
in a ruder day were part of the traditions
of student life They have been long
abolished in the better American COL
Ieges. and students who indulge in them
and institutions which tolerate them, H.
stead of giving evidence of manly college
spirit, merely record themselves as still
sfllicted with childishness. Real up-to-
date college men do not do such things;
only overgrown and underbred boys
The wise college presidents, both 10 large
and small institutions, have effectualIy
stopped these practices without sacrifice
of the manliness of their students or any
interference with the reasonable overflow
of animal spirits. They have simply
created a standard of gentlemanliness
nd civilization which does not permit
self-respecting young men to initiate the
manners of rowdies.

suicide of Al. Adams.

New York, Oct. Al Adams, the
former "policy king" whom the late
Norton Goddard sent to Sing Sing, COM
mitted suicide in his apartment at the
Ansouia Hotel, today. For thirty years
he conducted penny policy game.
Adams shot himself through the right
temple. The bullet passed clear through
bis head and lodged in the wall of the
private hallway leading to Adams apart
ments. The reason given fer Adams
suicide was dependency over the i'll
fame he earned by his connection with
the policy game and over the heavy
failure of bucket shop and mining VEN
lures in which be was the principal
hacker. According to Coroner Harburg-
er, however, letters found in Adams's
room indicated that he died worth from
So, 600. 900 to SO. 900. 900.

The Cuban situation.

Havana, Oct. 1.-The city is quiet
today, not the slightest disturbance fol-
lowing the landing of marines and sail
ors.. About 1000 men from the
American warships, now in the harbor,
began coming ashore early today, and il
will not be long before the entire num-
Der will be 10 camp at Camp Columbia.
No parade of the landing forces was
held, the men being dispatch, d al once
to their headquarters. An additional
force of 500 marines arrived today on
the battleship Kentucky, and they will
be landed before the day is over.
All the mempers of the Palma cabinet
have been notified by Governor Taft that
he will appoint ministers within the
next ten days, and that 10 the meantime
the sub-secretaries will perform all the
work that is to be done Gov. Taft has
also sent ca5legfsm to the Cuba Min
lister at Washington, Senior Quesada, re.
questing him not TO insist upon his res
Ignation being accepted for the present,
at least. Rumor has it that some OF the
former members of the Palma Cabinet
will be reinststed by Gov. Taft. Among
those mentioned is Fontsy Sterling, Sec-
rotary of the Treasury. Marines and
sailors to the number of $50, who had al
ready been landed here, have been sent
to Cieufuegos.
Havana, Oct The next few days
will be a time of danger. While the
rebels say they will disband peacefully,
it is feared irresponsible parties will
range as bandits over the country. The
rebels have the privilege Of keeping
arms and coufscated horses. HaveDa is
filling with refugees.
President Palma, who has occupied
the palace since his inauguration as
Cuba's first President, left that building
today and will take his family to his old
home at MataDzas.

In HIS proclamation on Saturday de-
claring himself military governor OF
Cuba, Secretary Taft said:
The provisional government hereby
established will be maintained only long
enough to restore order, peace and pub
lie confidence, by direction of and In the
name of the President of the United
States. and then to hold such elections
az may be necessary to determine OH
those persons upon whom the permanent
government of the republic should be
devOlyed.
in his Chicago speech to open the re-
publican congressional campaign in the
middle West, Senator Beverage, OF In
diana, only few days previously, said
When the American flag is unfurled
from Santiago to Havana ii would mean
for Cuba the arrival of an era Of peace
order aud progress. That Intervention
would mean so, 900 American troops In
Cuba for year, to build up that social
order which was once established by
Americans, but which the Cubans have
shattered. When this work should be
done once more we would never again
let 1t be undone. If the American nag
went to Cuba, it would go to stay.
Both Secretary Taft and Senator Bev-
eridge spoke for the President, and the
majority of people will think that the
Senator best knew Mr.. Roosevelts H.
