TILE l.. NJ, 4.

The board Of visitors of the Virginia
Military Institute upholds the superin-
tendent Of that institution in the expul-
sien Of II boys from the institute or q
charge OF mutiny and INSTRUMENTATION.
1t is said that the discipline at the in
stitute will DO even more strict than it
has been in the past, where many times
small acts of d,sobedience have not
been given any great attention.
The board intends holding the insti-
tute TO a high standard as military
school, and there is small hope. in fact
no hope, that any OF the boys who were
expelled will ever be taken back by the
Virginia Military Institute.
Nearly all the members OF the third
class OF the Virginia Military Institute,
who were dismissed Monday afternoon
by Superintendent Nichols for insubor-
dination have, left Lexington for their
homes. When the boys camo face to
face with the seriousness of the matter
by being required to remove their be-
longings from barracks by 6 o'clock,
some OF them admitted that they had
acted hastily and would have returned
to their duties had it been possible. \
| half dozen of the class, before the
order OF dismissal was published, re.
turned to barracks and will stand their
punishment.
The battalion Of cadets was rcorgan-
i7ed IS four companies today, instead
of six. Extra captains and first ser
geants we're placed on the staff and
lieutenants assigned TO new companies.
Sixteen corporaIs were appointed from
The second class to fill the vacancies
caused by dismissals.
Affairs assumed their normal status
Yesterday. Tie dismissed "mutineers
left for their homes.

charge Of voting persons who did not
offer to vote aud with counting them

verdict, and expressed the opinion
that with any other return by the jury
the court would have had to set the
same aside.
A special grand jury yesterday in the
Court OF Hastings OF Portsmouth

gressional primary August ID, when,

designed to replace that OF 1894 and
drawn with the special design Of elimin-
ating the restrictions upon immigra-
ton contained in that treaty, vas laid
before the Senate yesterday By Presi-
dent Taft.
The essential difference between the
proposed treaty and the existing COB

ornits all reference to such restrictions

Japan the enforcement at her own
