TERnEs is CONFIRMED.
Rirdsairs select;,n Of Postmaster al
Dubuque Ratified.

Washington, Feb. 25-The senate mas
confirmed the nomination of Herman
Ternes to be postmaster at Dubudue
to succeed Joe" Morgan, who resigned.
This appointment, which was made
on recommendation of Representative
Birdsall, has attracted much notice.
Senator Cummins at first had the con-
firmation held up until such time as
Representative Elect Pickett could be
heard from. Moreover, protests came In
against the confirmation from some OF
Dubuque's citizens. On Mr.. Pickett 5
arrival here, however. it developed that
he was not prepared to oppose Ternes,
and that there were no charges against
Ternes on which opposition to confir-
nation could be based Hence Senator
Cummins made no further objection to
his confirmation.
1t is said here on good authority that
Mr.. Pickett was more than willing to
have Ternes named by Representative
Birdsall inaamuch as 1t promised to
keep him out Of embarrassing compile
cations with Dubuque politicians.

WASHINGTON AWAITS
WORD ON FOOTBALL

Robert Shaw Oliver, Acting Secretary
OF War, declined 70 make any comment
last night on the death of Cadet Byrne.
Whether or not football IS abolished per-
manently at West Point as a result OF the
accident was matter, he said. for Sec
rotary OF War Dickinson to determine.
Mr.. Dickinson IS n member OF President
Tafts party. which is now In New Or
leans.
Sports at both West Point and An
napolis are carefully supervised by the
commanding officers AT West Point the
athletic board has charge Of all matters
relating to athletic events.
Although Midshipman Wilson was IN
jured two weeks ago in the game between
the Navy and Viuanova, no official report
OF the accident has been received at the
Navy Department, and no action has been
taken in regard to the game at Annapolis.
The similarity between the accidents to
Cadet Byrne and AIidshipman Wilson IS
regarded here as an unusual coincidence.
Midshipman Wilson's injury was a frac-
ture Of the fifth vertebrae, which resulted
in complete paralysis below his neck.
Cadet Byrne's death was due to a frac-
ture Of the third veTtebrae. which caused
paralysis Of the respiratory organs.

Small Outfit Gained Pole.

Editor The Washington Herald:
have known people TO be praised
for pretty much all the manly virtues till
some success met them, when all sorts
Of flaws would be found against them.
Jealousy can comfort nobility into absurd
contrasts. Cook was praised as all that
was right until he found the north pole;
then jealousy dwarfed him into a little
master OF deceptIons and mean tricks.
The little cheats charged against Cook
are too sure Of disproof 70 have been
committed, too absurd TO be credited,
except In the case Of a person inferior
in all his makeup.
The charge is made that Cook shaped
his journey from information derived
from Peary's experience and plans SO it
may be said OF Peary and all explorers
they copied from others. But Cook de-
waited from all the north pole hunters.
and. 20 my view, most senslbly. especially
in the simplicity Of his OUTFIT and the d.
minshed crowd Of helpers or hinderers.
big army is always slower than a
small one, and more than once has been
defeated on that account. Does any one
suppose Weston. the walker, would have
reached California near schedule time II
he had taken along an army OF footmen
to help? Ny own plains Journeys prove
10 me that Cook hit the mark when he
limited his outfit as he did IN numbers
and supplies. And, too, he was right in
selecting young men FOR the journey.
Young men brought up from babyhood
to rough usage are never better for en-
durance than at the age Of twenty. Go
into sporting circles for proof OF that
or course, there is a most remote posi-
bllity that Cook IS perpetrating a most
silly fake on the public. which would soon
end in his shame AS also may be said of
Peary. We all know that many Of the
biggest discoveries and inventions have
been credited 20 persons not so entitled.
Copying the works and inventions Of 9TH
ers has been carried far in modern civil
lization. I have had experience I'm It. a
chapter Of shame could be written on
that subject. ORyILLE Il. KIMBALL-
