YOUNG AND MAYNARD.

Featuring the day in Norfolk yester-
day in the investigation Of the Second
district democratic congressional pri-
mary was the vigorously worded mo-
ton before the investigating committee
that Maynard and Young, contestant
and contestee for the congressional
nomination, be required to file at once
statements OF their election expenses in
accordance with the provisions of the
Barksdale pure election law.
The law is recited at length in the
motion and in it severe penalties are
imposed for failure to comply with it.
Both candidates have apparently vio-
lated it, Former Lieut.. Gov Edward
Echols, of Staunton, was the only
member Of the committee looking after
the investigation yesterday, the copy
ing OF records being about all that was
expected to be done, and one member
all that was deemed necessary to see
that this proceeded in an orderly
manner.
In the absence OF the other members
Mr. Echols requested the attorneys for
the citizens who made the motion TO
wait until today for ruling on it and
the request was acceded to.
The full committee will assemble to
hear the reply Of Young to the charges
OF Maynard and the citizens counsel
and any counter charges affecting May
nard which he may wish to file. That
the counter charges will be forthcom-
ing there is no doubt Young's attOr-
neys have been hard at work in Ports
mouth, Maynard's home town, and
where he received large maiorities, and
no denial is made of the fact that their
charges will be wholesome and hot.
They will make use of the evidence
gathered by the citizens counsel as
well as that gathered by themselves.
Additional evidences Of evil practices
in connection with the election develop
AS fast as the investigation proceeds.
Men who never went near the polls on
election day are recorded as having
voted, as well as the dead and missing.
And there are scores OF names on the
poll books whom it appears that no one
ever heard of save election officials
Dilgent search certainly fails to To-
cate them. And among names falsely
voted are those Of not few quite promi-
nent citizens. 1t is evident that an in
vestigation was not thought OF by GER
tain election officials.
Attorney Billisoly declared last night
that the investigation had unearthed
sufficient fraud and irregularities in
Norfolk, Norfolk county and Ports
mouth to throw the election results OF
all three out, and to justify the State
committee in declaring the election null
and void. He is confident that the in
vestigating committee will dot He
further believes that the committee will
rule that both Messrs. Young and May
nard shall be barred from the second
primary.

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

West Point, N. Y, Sept. pa 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 are 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 expel one for insubordination means
that all must go. The delicacy OF the
situation is such that Major General
Thomas H. 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 ST
lence" 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
are face to face with the necessity OF
court martialing the entire corps for
insubordination, the most serious breach
OF military discipline.
The board Of inquiry, appointed by
Lieut. Col Fred Sibley, commandant
Of cadets and in charge OF the academy
during Maj. 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 a dislike
to this officer" they have said, and
no amount Of persuasion or threats
can compel them to go further. They
have simply folded their arms and
declined to answer any questions.
Lieut.. Col. Sibley intimated today
that the entire cadet corps OF 45O
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. II 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
insubordination.
Severe action is expected when Gen.
Barry resumes command. As dis
ciplinarian, General Barry has few
equals in the army. He is almost
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.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette
Two members OF the presidents
house party today slipped away from
the Cabinet deliberations to do honor
to Prince 1'uasi Sum, who as the roya!
head OF the Chinese Naval Commission
arrived ia this city with his retinue last
night At 10 O'Clock this morning,
Secretary Knox accompanied with
several State Department officials paid
an official visit OF about ten minutes
duration to the Chinese Prince. This
call was followed by one from Secretary
Of the Navy Meyer and 'bevy" OF
gaudily uniformed naval officers. The
roval Chinese visitor then in accor-
dance with official ettirette, return
ed the visits of the Cabinet members.
As the Royal Commission includes a
vice admiral an excellency, a hand
full of Chinese naval officers and sew
eral attaches they presented a brilliant
picture as they went up to the State,
War and Navy Building in their full
dress uniforms. The official visits were
followed by visit OF the Chinese Com
mission to the gun shops Of the Navy
Yard. The prince has come to this
country with a view to placing a con-
tract for two up to date battle ships for
the Chinese navy. A thorough inspec-
ton was made of the gun shops by the
commission. After luncheon, the party
we're received by President Taft and the
members Of the cabinet. The presi-
dent discussed naval affairs with His
Royal Highness, Prince Sum. The
presidential house party and the mem
bers Of the commission then went by
automobile to review a drill OF the
troops at Fort Mver.
In a collision between an automobile
and trolley car at Thirteenth and &
streets, northwest, last night, Wllbert
c. Jones was dangerously injured, his
car demolished and number of people
on the trolley were badly shaken up.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. p

WHILE the signs Of the times portend
losses to the republicans and while the
democrats are cock sure" that they
willlcontrol 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 a senator in William f.
Purcell, OF North Dakota, who was a7-
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. or the
thirty senators whose terms expire next
March, twenty-four are republicans and
six democrats. The democrats gam
one in Maine and are making vigorous
contests in eleven other states. Re
publican managers profess to see no
danger except in Indiana, Nebraska
and Missouri. Beverage is having a
hard fight in the "Hocsier" 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 Carriers seat, in New York for De
peys. 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, a majority
OF twenty-six for the dominant party
Therefore the democrats must gam
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 a gradual process
of taking up schedules seriatim.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT is in complete con-
troll OF the situation at Saratoga. The
New York State Convention when it
meets today will not only elect him
temporary chairman and'listen to his
speech as the presentation of the doc
trine which hereafter is to be that OF
the republican party Of New York, but
it would permit him to write the plat
form and would nominate for the gov
erDorship the man of his choice, were
he but to name him. He could domi-
nate the convention s action throughout
but this is what he does not intend to
do. Vice President Sherman, having
seen the handwriting on the wall last
night, ANONYMOUSLY surrendered and
decided that he would as gracefully a.
possible retire from the contest with

manship Of today's convention.
