EXPLORING PARTY FINDS
FROZEN MAMMOTH
Fine Specimen Discovered by Prof.
Gilmore Of the Smithsonian lnsti-
tuition During Visit to Gen.
trial Alaska.


SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 13.-Word has
just been received from Prof. C. w. Gill
more of the geological department of the
Smithsonian institution at Washington
D. c., who is with party of scientists
in Central Alaska, that they have discoy-
cred mammoth frozen intact, as it was
when buried by the great glaciers of past
centuries.
It was the hope of the party to find a,
mammoth somewhere in Alaska but theV
did not hope to have the success that hats
come to them. The letter from Prof. Gill
more says the party was engaged in in
speeding the Muir glacier when one of the
expedition noticed an ivory tusk protrud-
ing from the surface of the ice.
The work of ''unearthing'' the remains
from the ice pack is easier than digging
the same from the frozen earth. When
the steamer Spokane left the scene the
party had uncovered enough to make
very accurate estimate of the size of the
former monster. The mammoth remains
measured from tail to nose at least sew
enty-fve feet. The height was between
forty and fifty feet.
In the ice the body presented very
lifelike appearance. In places the hair
was rubbed from the hide by the action
of the ice pack but the rest of the body
being frozen soldf had not suffered from
the ice.
AS soon as air was admitted to the
body, however, the flesh and hide of the
mastodon seemed to crumble. The tusks
and bones of the huge creature are well
preserved, and will make the finest spe-
cimen yet found intact. The party Will
return this month.

STAUNTON, Va, Sept. 1S.-Hon. Harry
St. George Tucker, president of the
jamestown Exposition company has au-
thorized his friends to make the first
announcement that he will be a can
didate for the governorship of Virginia,
to succeed Governor Claude A. Swanson.
fuckers name was first mentioned IN
this connection more than year ago,
following his acceptance of the presi-
dency of the exposition company, after
the death of Fitzhugh Lee, the first
president
The recent social war between Tucker
and Director General Barr, growing out
of the failure of Tucker to send an in
vitation to Barr to the dinner given by
Tucker to Prince Wilhelm of Sweden,
caused CONSERVATION among the friends
of Tucker, it being believed that the
failure of the board of directors OF the
exposition to sustain him I'M the contro-
versy would mean the end of his political
aspirations. Tucker has all the while
been considered candidate, and his
friends have not been idle in his behalf.
Henry C. Stuart, corporation commits
sioner, and William Hodges Mann of
Nottaway, defeated candidates in the last
election, will also be actively in the race.

The story is that the Georgia cadet

was in camp at the time and Sherman
was a corporal he undoubtedly had
some power over the younger cadets.

But, as his request was so obviously IN
the nature of contempt, Beck refused
to obey. Later Sherman followed the

how matters stood Beck stood this pref
ty well, but at drill he became nervous
and fell down."
1t was in this way that the story Of
the hazing came out, because, when the
drillmaster reported the cadet. Col.
Howe asked the latter why he had failed
in drill. The cadet then told the reason,
Such is the peculiar attitude of the
corps concerning discipline and the prop
er chasm between one class and another
that the unfortunate failure of the cadet
at drill was believed to be prejudicial
to conditions, and should not exist. In
other words, he should not have refused
to be braced; but, If he had. he should
not have become nervous; and N he had,
it was his fault. So he was cut
Class Not in Danger
AS for the report that the whole class
at West Point might be dismissed for
giving any member the silent treatment,
it is manifestly absurd; the manner of
appointment is such as to forbid any
drastic punishment. But undoubtedly
there is trouble between Beck and his
classmates. How to overcome this Is a
matter which Col. Howze the comman-
dant, hopes to reach through the irfiu-
ence of the first class, or seniors; al
though, to tell the truth, the dissatis-
faction with Beck has penetrated even
there, 1t is hoped, however, that when
all the young fellows understand that the
story of the hazing was not told volun-
tarily by the victim the silent treatment
will cease. =
1t is easy to see, however, that so far
as punishment for the cutting is con-
cerned 1t is more difficult proposition.
Cadet A, on being asked why he does
not speak to Cadet B, suddenly finds it
necessary to be off to drill. Cadet c,
when Cadet B is passing, can become
interested in almost any object on the
horizon. Cadet D might not like Cadet
B, anyhow, and that is really sufficient
reason, and here it where it Is necessary
for Col. Howe and his assistants to
proceed with great caution.
