 of lower classman by the upper class
 men. He says that since his speech
 was delivered he has absolutely verified
 every statement made. The publication
 of his remarks also brought him lot of valuable letters concerning many of the abuses complained of at AnnGp-
 olis and he does not see how the House
 can fail to order the investigation that fully four-fifths of the members be- lieve should be made.
 Some of the midshipmen dismissed from the Academy for hazing are re- ported to be already trying to bring sufficient influence to bear fo~ rein statement. This is likely to prove a source of much worry to Senators and
 Representatives for many months to come. The young men are said to have
 interesting stories to tell about things that have been going on at Annapolis
 and they consider it rough on the vic tins while such large number of ca-
 dets will doubtless escape punishme l. in the face of the alleged fact that they
 have been guilty of hazing unless a
 thorough and sweeping investigation is made by Congress.
 Midshipman Mayo. who was tried al Annapolis for hazing and was not con- victed. resides in the district repre- sented in the House by Mir. Chandler of Mississippi, but Mr. Chandler says he
 was appointed to the Academy by Sen ator Money.

weather Bureau Issues General Sum-
 mary for January.
 Washington. Feb. 1.-The Weather Bureaus general summary of crop con- ditions for January are as follows:
 Tn the Southern States, the middle and last decades were cool and the monthly precipitation in portions of the eastern districts was excessive and damaging While the rainfall in the central and west gulf districts was be- low the average, rains interfered with farm work in central and northeastern Texas and in Louisiana. As whole, however, the month was exceptionally mild and free from severe weather con- ditions, affording excellent opportunity for midwinter farm work.
 Although the winter wheat region was without material snow protection during the greater part of the month, owing to absence of decided and sud- den temperature changes, winter wheat escaped serious injury and at the close of the month was generally in very prom ising condition. No complaint regard ing the Hessian fly has been received.

The fleet is to engage in tar get practice April 1, beginning at Gull ebra and from there will come to some point on the gulf to remain for about two months. engaging in land drills and target firing. It Is believed that the fleet will again rendezvous at this port, but the business men of the city are afraid that the Admiral might decide otherwise. so have decided to send a committee to Hampton Roads to invite the Admiral to bring his fleet here. At present there are possibly ten thousand tons of coal, many car loads of supplies and everything neces- sary for a fleet stored at the yard. and in addition to this, the work on floating targets which are to be used. is nearing completion.
