The embarrassing situation in
which the republican party finds
itself nationally consists In the fact
that it can only hope to hold its own
by the advocacy Of distinctly demo
cratic doctrines. And whatever that
party may do or try to do to in.
gratiate itself with the masses will
only serve to separate it from the
former source Of its power, from the
slnews Of its warfare, from the pro.

PERJURER IN UNIFORM.
DiseracefuI Fact to Be Established al
Hazinu Trial,

HdZiIlS IIIdls
Annapolis, Nd, Dec. 31.-Two mid
shipmen of the fourth class, Isaac N.
McCrary of Calvert, Texas, and Gay
lord Church of Meadville, Pa, testified
positively before the courtmartial Sat
urday afternoon that Mldshlpman
Stephen Decatur, Jr., of Portsmouth,
n. H., a member of the first class, had
hazed them on different occasions.
Decatur will, according to his counsel,
go on the stand Tuesday ana deny IN
der oath every statement which the
two under classmen made incriminat-
ing him. AS the evidence of each or
the prosecuting witnesses was to sepa~
rate incidents and entirely uncorroboI-
ated, there is possibility that the evil
dence will be considered insufficient to
convict Decatur, but the apparent fact
will remain, should the latter make the
denial promised, that a perjurer is
wearing the uniform of midshipman
of the United States navy.
Trenmor Coffin, whose trial for the
alleged hazing of Midshipman Kim
brough was concluded Saturday, was
before the court and heard the record
read and approved 1t is practically
conceued that Coffin has been convict
ed and will be dismissed, though, O.
course, nothing is known officially.
Charges have been filed against Mid
shipman worthwright Foster of New
Albany, Ind, that he hazed Midship-
man chester S. Roberts of Joliet, H.,
by compelling him to get under table
while eating his supper. This is an
other unusual form of hazing at the
academy, but one which has not yet
been specified in any charge.

Justice Cassoday of the supreme
court The ceremony was brief but
exceedingly impressive. There were
present state officials, relatives of the
new and old governors, together with
the most distinguished citizens of the
capital city and elsewhere. In the af-

until 6 o'clock, during which hours
hundreds of citizens called to con-
graduate the new executive. The
occasion throughout was one of the
utmost good feeling.
Governor Davidson's desk was al

large number of messages were also

The activity IN the executive offices,
incident to the Inauguration, developed
only a few minutes before noon, with
the gathering of the members of the
committee and of considerable num-

Offices were removed or pushed Into
corners behind banks of palms, so as
to give the utmost standing capacity
to the rooms.
A few seconds before the stroke of
twelve, Judge E. w. Keyes entered
with Chief Justice Cassoday of the
state supreme court, who was to act
as the oath-administering officer.
Judge Cassoday seated himself near a
small table on which rested a large
bible. Presently Professor Bashford
appeared at the door with Mr.. David
son, and turned him over to Governor
La Toilette. Then Professor Bashford
stepped forward and addressed the
chief justice as follows:

FRANCO-GERMAN
RUMORS REVIVE

Paris, Dec. 31.-Despite the i'm
provement in the relations of France
and Germany occasioned by the sub
mission of the Morocco controversy to
a conference, there is a distinct re-
vivaI of war rumors and a consider
able element maintains that war be-
tween France and Germany is newt
able. Dispatches from Belgium say
the authorities there are adopting pre-
cautionary measures, anticipating that
conflict might involve Belgium. Spe
Gals from Switzerland report that
German reservists have been sum-
moned, and other dispatches graph
cally describe the activity of French
and German forces along the frontier
and their extensive works and de-
lenses.
These reports, it is said, are the
outgrowth of the recent French yellow
book showing the acuteness of the
Franco-German issue over Morocco
and the approach of the Moroccan
conference, Ill WHICH Tue ISSUE VIII w
renewed.
Much of the feeling of apprehen-
sion is attributed to precautionary
measures the ministers of war and
marine are taking, which are not so
much because of expectations of war
as of desire to have these services in
suitable state of preparedness should
the former strained situation again
prevail.
Members of the diplomatic corps
who made inquiries found prepare
tions going on Systematically and
that considerable forces were being
massed toward the frontier, but moth
ing in the nature of extraordinary mil
itary concentration was in progress.

nouncement has been made as to the
appointment of an executive clerk in
place of Victor Rogers, and it is
probable that Mr.. Rogers will continue
for time to hold the place.
The ceremony took pace in the
governors reception room, on the
walls of which are hung the many por-
traits of the men who have in early
years served the state as governor.

man of the committee, had left the
