West Point Commandant Makes Sc

New York. Sept. 6.-The silent

Point it is stated in dispatches re-

ton in the plebe class and the com
mandant at the military academy,
Col Robert Lee Howse threatens to

officers four years hence for Col.
Howse issued an order two days ago
to the effect that unless the cadet

charge the entire class.
A cadet the son of a wealthy Chi
cago man is the young man around
whom the trouble centers. He is q
plebe and it Is stated received the
silent treatment not only from his
own class, but from the cadets in the
other classes because of complaint
he Is alleged to have made when he
was mildly hazed by fellow class

cadet reached the commandant by
some means and caused him to
threaten the dismissal of the class I'M

LOST IN The ice.
Another Arctic Expedition Has Come
to Grief.

Athabasca Landing, Canada, Sept. g.
News of the probable loss of the schoon-
er Duchess of Bedford, the ship belong
ing to the Anglo-American Arctic expe-
dition which hoped to find new contf-
nent north of the Mackenzie river, was
brought here by Afford Harrison who
has been in the Arctic circle for two
years and who came here on the steam
er Midnight Sun.
Mr.. Harrison says Ernest Stefansson,
of Harvard university, after whom tho
expedition has been called, himself
brought the news of the loss of THEN
boat to Herschel Island. He also brought
the news of the Disappearance of three
members of the party and expressed the
fear that they had met death in the
frozen north.
The missing men are Captain Mikkel-
son. a Dane; Ernest Leffingwell of Chi
cago, and J. Marks. They left the ship
in February with sixty days provisions
for the supposed land to the north and
had been gone 20 days and no news had
been received from them. One of their
teams of dogs had returned and it is
likely the party will never be heard
from again The schooner Duchess of
Bedford Stefansson thought, had prob
ably sunk. The ship had filed with
water, probably from the ice strain, but
they had been able to remove everything
of value to the main shore.

To Reform
Steamer
Service
BOARD OF HEALTH OFFICIALS
ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE
PRESENT ROUTING OF VESSELS

Efforts are going to be made by Pres
ident Pinkham, through the legisla-
ture, to secure a more frequent and
convenient steamer service between
Honolulu and the Leper Settlement.
1t is claimed that the present service
of one steamer a week is inadequate
and that the present routine of the
steamer is wrong and entails a great
deal of delay and annoyance to en-
ployees of the government going to
the settlement.
1t requires about three days to come
from Kalaupapa to Honolulu a dis
lance of "a miles. The cause for this
waste of time, is the way that the
steamer is routed. Superintendent J.
McVeigh of the settlement says that
he boarded the Iwalani last Thursday
to come to this place but had to re-
main aboard until the following Sum
day, in order to reach Honolulu. The
cause was that the vessel had to make
certain ports on Molokai and Maui be-
fore she returned to Honolulu On
Saturday night the vessel stopped at a
Molokai port, within twelve miles of
the settlement The result is that the
time of the government employees is
wasted, unnecessarily.
The idea is to effect some different
arrangement for the routing of the
steamer and to have a more frequent
service to the settlement every week.
