BOARD OF INQUIRY

New York, July 2S.-The board of
army officers appointed several weeks
ago to Investigate hazing conditions at
the United States Military academy
has handed its report to Colonel Hugh
l.. Scott, the superintendent.
The report contains the statement
that hazing still exists at West Point.
1T takes up several hundred pages, it
is said, but the board, of which Lieu
tenant Colonel Sihley, the comnandant
of cadets, is president, makes no rec
concentrations as to the nature Of the
punishment to be meted out to those
cadets who may have been found guilty
~of hazing in one form or another. The
commandment sent it back with %instruc-
tons to the board to make recon-
m~endations.
h inquiry is the result of an In
jury received by Cadet Sutton, OF
Oregon, a brother Of the United States
marine officer whose death at Annapo-
lis two years ago is now under inves-
tigation by h navy department..

her treaty with the United States. This
recently was made evident when she
proposed to this government thai me-
gotiations for a new treaty be begun at
once Notwithstanding the fact that the
present one does not expire Of limita-
ton for two years.
Japan's statesmen are now at work
on r%evisions OF q number of treaties
which expire In 1910. and it was her
earnest desire that the United States
should consent to a termination of our
agreement next year SO that we might
join in the negotiations with other
powers. Our a interests in Japan,
however. are not suffering and for this
and other reasons this government
does not see it's way clear to discuss
the questions involved before the ex-
piration Of our treaty in 1911.
