Washington, March "a. - Hazing at
the Annapolis Naval academy was dealt
with by the house today in the passage
of a senate bill with house substitute.
Tie action was taken after protracted
debate, which placed on record the
impressions Of the special committee
which Investigated the subject recently
and severe criticism by Hepburn oil
efforts to condone hazing. Several
amendments we're proposed, but all
were rejected save one, it being the
duty of cadet officers, ae we'll as other
academy authorities, to report infrac.
tions of the rules. The bill repeals
that portion Of existing laws which
makes it compulsory to dismiss mid
shipmen guilty of hazing in any de-
gree, and substitutes punishment ac-
cording to the nature of the offense.
Cruel and brutal hazing may be pun
ished by dismissal. Previous to con-
eideration of the hazing bill, 265 pen.
sion bills were discussed and passed.

Thursday. March 22.

Washington, March %. - The state.
hood bill was taken from the speakers
table in the house today, placed in the
hands Of three selected conferees and a
request made Of the senate for con.
ference on the disagreeing votes of the
two houses. This action was not &C.
complished without many words and
votes. 1t was developed, however, that
there were votes enough to carry out
the program of the leaders. Then fol-
lowed 40 minutes of fiery speeches, some
of which provoked much amusement
among the large attendance of men,
bers and the crowded galleries. Then
came the final vote on the adoption of
the rule, which 175 members approved
and 1856 opposed.
The legislative appropriation bill
constituted the subject for the remain
der of the day. Criticism was made of
the management of the library of con-
gress, and Hardwick, of Georgia, found
himself opposed by members of both
sides of the chamber in his endeavor to
restrict the white house appropriation
go as to eliminate social secretary for
the wife of the president.
Washington, March %. - The rail-
road rate bill occupied practically all of
the time of the senate today. There
were two speeches, one by Lodge and
the other by Spooner. Lodge spoke in
advocacy of his amendment, looking
to the enlargement of the Interstate
Commerce commission, and in doing go
replied sharply to some recent utter
ances of Commissioner Prouty. Spoon.
er devoted his attention 70 the consti-
tutional powers of the inferior courts,
contending that these courts could not
be destroyed nor their jurisdiction
taken from them.

Washington, March %. - The con-
sideration of the legislative appropria-
tion bill in the house today was enliv-
ened by a small spat between Prince
and Tawney, proposition to buy pri-
vate Ger for the president, which was
ruled out of order, and jeering speech
by Smith, of Arizona, about the sup
preston of debate by the rules.
An echo of the statehood controversy
yesterday resulted in an effort to cor.
rect the journal. Williams maintained
he was put in the ridiculous position
OF moving to instruct the conferees
after they had been appointed, mo-
tion clearly out OF order at that time.
The correction was made as suggested. {.

Friday, March 20.

Washington, March 23. - Spooner
today concluded his speech in the SEN
ate on the railroad rate bill, and the
Notifications appropriation bill was
taken up and passed. 1t carries an ap-
preparation of $125, 900 for the erection
of powder mandatory, and Daniel
spoke at length in support of the pro-
vision. He declared that the nation
was entirely at the mercy of powder
trust, and urged that the amendment
should be adopted as safeguard. As
passed, the bill carries an appropria.
ton of 1878, 1893. Tillman also spoke
on the railroad rate bill, suggesting
that the Interstate Commerce commits.
sion should have authority to enjoin
the railroads from increasing their
rates. He said the suggestion had been
made by "corn field lawyer" in Ok
lahoma.
The following bids were also passed:

Second Exhibition Next Week.

This exhibition will be followed next
week by the work OF the pupils OF r.
y. Brooke. who studied with him at
farm IN Wsrrenton. Va. during the
month or June The class numbered
twelve students and IL Is expected that
about zoo sketches Will be exhibited. AS
this work was made under the care OF
a trained instructor it is expected that
the percentage Of errors viii be reduced
to a minimum. One might also expect
that where a class OF this number is
given the game study TO work from
that there would be q more earnest
effort to reach a higher degree OF ex-
cellence than where A student is work
Ing without instruction and is obliged
to depend on Individual selection and
method. The two exhibitions coming
so near 10 each other viii give the stu
dents ample opportunity TO determine to
what extent they can depend on their
own efforts at this period OF their art
studies.

OLE ON THE REPORTER.

A small oval object of a dark-yellow
color and the size OF a partridge egg. says
the Baltimore Sun was repOsing upon
a table In the Southern police station a
few days ago when a reporter Of
morning newspaper dTopAad in to ask
Lieutenant Collins whether there was
anything doing" A hearty dinner, just
concluded and a long pipe caused the
lieutenant TO be in particularly happy
frame Of mind at the time. and with his
chair tilted back and his hands folded
across his broad waistcoat he forthwith
proceeded to give the reporter an in
teresting tale about the small yellow OBJ
tect upon the table.
THAT little thing is turtle egg" said
the lieutenant. "and Ofncer Murray. our
telephone man, soon expects 10 hatch IL
out in the sun. He is going to put il In
a box OF sand and stick II in the win
dow. where it can ineubate under the
same conditions as exist along the sea
shoro in the South Sea islands. The egg
was nearly white when we got it, and
those black spsts which have come out
on the surface show that the turtle is
doing nicely"
Lieutenant Collins then went on to tell
of the various successes which have at
tended officer Murray's experiments
with Matching birds eggs and with other
form of natural history subjects and
with botany. Among other things he
mentioned the great fondness of the
patroiman, who is a stanch son Of
Erin for a stout biackthorn cane; the
great number OF canes which are pos
sessed by Mr.. Murray was duly dis
cussed with especial attention to the
particular blackthorn cane, across which
no snake will ever pass and which has
been in the Murray family for several
centuries.
All OF which was eagerly drunk in by
the reporter and an interesting story
about Patrolman Murrays turtle egg
duly appeared In print. Now Lieutenant
Collins sits and shakes with laughter all
the day as he explains to the curious
that the small oval object" is Just a
common egg tomato out of an Anne
Arundel hucksters basket.

ARI|YAlG!IISE :!

The talk OF E c. Messer, principal Of
the cOrcoran Art School, and the ex-
hibition OF the work Of the students in
the Hemieycle, have proved events OF
more than ordinary interest 10 the stu
dents In his talk Monday afternoon
Mr.. Messer had selected for his sub
ject. ''VeTacity in Art In mis- sous
sion the lecturer explained that absolute
imitation of objects seen In nature is
impossible. The degree of veracity in
any work is confined to the Impressions
that the artist receives from his study of
the subject. One sees color. TO the ex-
ciusion OF form, another sees form, and
the color sense appeals only slightly.
Another seems TO discover motion in in
animate objects and is not impressed by
form or color to any great degree.
Much emphasis was given 10 the idea
that the painters work in order to Inn
press others must first create such
strong impression Of it's importance upon
the painter that II viii be done WITH a
knowledge gained 10y intimate study and
an aftectionate regard for the work In
hand. Work 10 live. he said. must first
have been given that faithful care in its
production which amounts TO a willing
ness TO sacrifice all other considerations
TO express the emotion that inspires the
painter.
