WEST POINT In REBELLION.
All Members of the Academy Guilty
of INSTRUMENTATION and Candidates for
Court Martial.


of INSTRUMENTATION aud Candidates for
Court Martial.
West Point, n. Y, Sept. ga state
OF open rebellion exists today in the
United States Military Academy, the
home OF discipline.
1t is admitted that the authorities in
charge OF the government military
academy arc facing the most serious
situation ever encountered at West
Point, for the cadet corps is an absolute
unit in the existing rebellion. No man
seems more guilty than another, and
to cxpel one for INSTRUMENTATION means
that all must go. The deicacy OF the
situation is such that Major General
Thomas II. Barry, superintendent OF
the academy, returned from Washing
ton TO take personal charge today.
The silent" affront given Captain
Rugus E. Longan, tactical instructor,
in the mess hall Saturday and Sunday
is as nothing compared with the 81
lcnce" given the military board OF in
quiry by the cadet corps, and unless
some Weakened cadet agrees TO tell
the board what caused the insult to
Capt. Longan, the academy authorities
arc face to face with the necessity Of
court martialing the entire corps for
INSTRUMENTATION the most serious breach
OF military discipline.
The board of inquiry, appointed by
Lieut.. Col. Fred Sibley, commandment
OF cadets and in charge OF the academy
during Mai. Gen. Barry's absence,
has been in session since the
silence" was given Capt. Longan, and
already examined twenty OF the first
class men (seniors). As a unit these
men have given the silence" to the
court. I'VE have formed dislike
to this officer" they have said, and
no amount Of persuasion or threats
can compel them to 60 further. They
have simply folded their arms and
declined to answer any questions.
Lieut.. Col. Sibley intimated today
that the entire cadet corps of $50
members will be called, one by one,
before the board, and that this will
occupy two or three weeks. Knowing
ones declare, however, that the corps
will be guided by the action OF the
first class men. If these men main
tain their refusal to talk, every under
classmen may be expected to do the
same. The situation thus facing the
military authorities is that OF rank
INSTRUMENTATION.
Severe action is expected when Gen.
Barry resumes command. As dis
ciplinarian, General Barry has few
equals in the army. He is almost a
martinez in his severity toward any
breach of discipline, and the insubor-
dination rampant at the academy is
almost certain to meet with severe
punishment at his hands.

THERE has been one suicide and one
attempt at self-destruction in Alexan-
dria during the past two weeks. The
weapons used in both cases we're pistols.
Isn't it about time that steps were be-
ing taken toward keeping such weapons
out OF the hands OF irresponsible people?
In some countries people who find it
necessary to 60 armed are compelled to
obtain permission from the authorities
and have their names published, in order
that others may be on their guard. In
many OF the states including Virginia
such weapons are prominently exposed
in store windows and sold to any one
who desires to purchase them. The
police departments Of cities, after hav-
ing accumulated a stock of confiscated
pistols, offer the same for sale at public
auction, and they are generally dis
posed OF to second hand dealers who in
turn dispose OF them to the same class
from which they have been taken and
they are soon in service again. 1t has
been observed that often pare nts,
thoughtlessly, purchase toy pistols for
their offspring, thus educating them
early in life into the notion that the
carrying OF such weapons is one OF tn :
essentials OF manhood. The fact thlt
the man who eloped from Chester, Pa.
with young woman and came to this
city with pistol in his pocket has
made him responsible, in measure,
for his companions death. Had he
left his pistol at home he would not
have the blood Of the young woman on
his conscience. The youth who last
Saturday night accompanied young
woman to her home with pistol in
his pocket is one OF large number OF
Youngsters who have much to learn.
Whether be shot himself accidentally or
with suicidal intent makes no difference.
The fact that he carried a pistol has
directed attention to him, and it will
require time for him to live down this
grave mistake Of his younger life.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 81
WHILE the signs OF the times portend

WHILE the signs OF the times portend
losses to the republicans and while the
democrats are "cock sure" that they
willDcontrol the next House OF Repre-
sentatives it will take the democrats
some time even with the tide running
in their favor. to gain the Senate. They
are already assured OF a gain in Maine,
having won the legislature, which elects
a successor to Senator Hale, but they
are due to lose senator in William E.
Purcell, OF North Dakota, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Burke to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Senator Fountain L. Thompson. The
North Dakota legislature Is largely re-
publican and when it meets next spring
will elect Purcell's successor. OF the
thirty senators whose terms expire next
March, twenty-four are republicans and
six democrats. The democrats gain
one in Maine and arc making vigorous
contests in eleven other states. Re-
publican managers profess to sec no
danger except in Indiana, Nebraska
and Missouri. Beveridge is having Il
hard fight in the "Hoosicr' state but
democratic disaffection over the selec-
ton OF John w. Kern may aid Bever-
idge very materially. Burkett is in
danger in Nebraska and Warmers seat
is more than likely to be occupied by a
democrat. But the democrats are max
ing progressive campaigns in Montana
for Carter's seat, in New York for De
pew's, in Ohio for Dicks in Delaware
for Du Points, in Massachusetts for
Lodges and in Nevada for Nixon's.
The Senate stands fifty-nine republicans
and thirty-three democrats, majority
OF twenty-six for the dominant party.
Therefore the democrats must gain
fourteen senators before they can con-
trole the upper branch OF Congress,
which seems wholly impossible at this
years election. The next most inter-
esting phase OF the situation will be the
strength OF the insurgents and tariff
reforms in both houses. The import
ance of this question will be seen when
Congress undertakes, upon the presl-
dents recommendation, to resume re-
vision of the tariff by gradual process
of taking up schedules seriatim.
