London, Oct 3.-An American citizen
named Theodore Wright. at present in

The Express for the settlement of the

suffer privations beyond words should
the strike continue any length Of time
George Howe is the bone Of contention.
He has a grand opportunity to do d
noble act and withdraw from the af-
fair by emigrating TO the United States
zflere in the Fall River district he can
doubtless obtain remunerative employ
ment at work he is accustomed to. For
the sake of the wives and children of
his coworkers let him do this kind and
generous act. and he will receive heart
felt blessings.
Il as a citizen Of the United States
will cheerfully present him with a first
class ticket to New York on a steamer of
the American Line sailing from South

RESTORE CADETS FREEDOM
Punishment for Silence" to
Captain Longan Ends.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

West Point. y. Y. Oct. 3.-The campus
Of the Military Academy rings again with
the shouts Of the cadets who were re-
stored to all privileges tonight after
they had been punished for more than
a week. OF since the ''silencing'' OF Cap
tain Longan in the mess hall About
. o'clock the board Of inquiry ceased
asking for cadets TO come before il. Il
was then believed that the investigation
was drawing 70 a close. but when an
order was published for every cadet to
report al 5:15 o'clock there was much
speculation as to the meaning of the
order That they were about to hear
the result of the finding of the board
was the thought of The cadets. and
those implicated most deeply eonse-
quently fell into line with some anxiety.
The entire corps marched TO the
gymnasium where they were met by
General Thomas Barry. and behind
closed doors the head Of the academy
and his several hundred charges held
heart-to- heart talk. The superintendent
said that as Vet he knew nothing of
the case other than what he had read in
the newspapers That there would be
punishments for those whom the board of
inquiry would report as implicated was
assured but that would come later,
after due consideration Of the findings.
There were no cheers as General Barry
finished his talk.
General Barry would make no further
statement. and no information could
be cleaned as TO just when the punish
ment viii he meted out and what its
nature would he. It is almost certain
there will he no dismissals.
