CHURCH'S AUTONOMY
GEoRGrANs PRESENT DEMAND TO
 THE vrCER0Y.
Desire the RestoratlCn of Seme of the Privileges Guaranteed Them When They Accepted Russian
 Rule.

TifIls. March 24.-The Georgians have presented the yiceroy of the Cau- easus a demand for the autonomy of their church.
 When the Kingdom of Georgia, whose heroic people upheld the banner of Christianity in the mountains of the Caucasus for centuries against the hosts of the Prophet, became utterly exhausted by continual wars with tho Turks and accepted the rule of Russia in 1901, treaty was made providing that Russia should respect the Geor- gian kings, recognize the autocepha- lous character of the church, grant the Georgians immunity from Russian military conscription and not interfere with their language, schools, etc.
 The Georgian monarch, however. was immediately suppressed. The people were powerless to resist, and one by one the political liberties guaranteed disappeared
 The church alone with Georgian exarch continued as national institu- ton until after the Russo Turkish war, when t also suecumbed to the process of Russificat4oua being now presided over by n Russian ex rch md admin istered by the sy4ad $ Petersburg.

 The only additional fact of interest is contained in the statement that the conviction of these men was had under article 531 of the penal statutes of Chi huahua. which provides in substance that where three or more persons arc together and homicide occurs, the survivors may be punished by impris- onment, even though there may be no direct and positive evidence as to who inflicted the fatal wounds, unless 1t could be shown to the satisfaction of the court how the killing was done.
 The prisoners, according to the con suls report, employed a good Mexican lawyer and appealed their case to the supreme court of Chihuahua, which. under the Mexican code. is authorized to take new evidence and practically retry the case on all issues

HAzING AT ANNAPOLIS.
House Hears Conclusions of the sub-
 Committee

Washington. March 24.-Hazing at the Annapolis Naval Academy was dealt with by the House today in the passage of d Senate bill with a House substitute.
 The action was taken after a pro- tracted debate which placed in the Record the impressions of the special committee which investigated the sub iect recently and a severe criticism of efforts to condone hazing by Mir. Hep burn of Iowa.
 Several amendments were proposed to the measure, but all were rejected save one, making 1t the duty of a cadet officer to report infraction of the rules as well as other academy author tiles.
 The bill repeaIs that portion of the existing law which makes 1t compul- sorry to dismiss midshipmen guilty of hazing in any degree, and substitutes punishment according to the nature of the offense. Cruel and brutal haz- ing may be punished by dismissal.
 Previous to the hazing bill consid- eration. 265 pension bills were passed.
