Naval Cadets
Out of Bounds.

Annapolis. Md. Feb. 1.-Supposedly dis
couraged by their showing in the semi
annual examinations just ended and in
dependent of all restraint, a number OF
cadets at the Naval Academy INDUCED in
a wild "Frenching' party over the walls
and into Annapolis tonight. There was
a general formation after which cadet
officers and Lieutenants Buchanan and
Lowman, aided by the force of watchmen
who police the yard. We're sent out to
picket the big government enclosure.
Seven youths were apprehended as they
tried to creep back to their dormitories
and were marched to the disciplinary.
department under arrest.
A Waterman discovered two midship-
men climbing the high stone wall which
surrounds the academy. The Waterman
slipped and fell on the icy pavement and
the youths made good their escape INTO
Annapolis A report of the occurrence
was made to the officers on duty at
Bancroft hall and a general call to quar-
tiers was sounded 1t was found that q
number of midshipmen We're missing and
steps were at once taken to catch them
when they returned.
Word of conditions at the academy evil
IDENTIFY reached the ears of the youths out
in town and general scurrying TO cover
resulted. One youth had got in as lar
as the shadow of the dormitory when he
was discovered and taken into the pres
ence of Lieut.. Buchanan, who sent him
to his room under arrest.
Two others were picked up climbing
back over the wall and the others were
captured in various parts of the yard.
The names of the youths captured are
not known outside the academy and those
in authority decline to give any further
information.

THE TARIFF.
Republican View of Iron and Steel
Schedules to Be Given Out.

Washington. Feb. 1.--As result of
the conference between Republican
senators at the capital Immediately
after the adjournment of the Senate,
today, the Republican view of the tar
if situation will be presented to the
Senate and to the country at large re-
lative to the House bill revising the
iron and steel schedules The meetins,
was attended by most of the Republic
can members of the finance committee
and by some or the-uther '-Repttbfican
leaders. but none of the Insurgent sem
ators We're present.
The first step to carry put the pro-
gram will be a meeting of the finance
committee, tomorrow The full com
mittee viii be advised of the desire OF
the Republicans for general hearing
on the iron and steel bill and 1t is be-
lieved. Democratic members of the
committee will offer no objections
While no effort was made to name a
time it was generally believed that the
hearings would begin next week.
No effort was made to decide wheth-
er the Republicans would present a
substitute for the Underwood steel bill
or content themselves with direct
effort to defeat that measure, but it is
believed that there will be a substitute
as the ad valorem system which char
acterizes it is unacceptable to Repub-
lican senators generally.
With the bill once before the Sen
ate, whether on a favorable or an ad-
verse report, the purpose is to discuss
! it at length, so as to present all phases
of the Republican side of the tariff

the sudden checking Of the unconscious
perspiration by exposure to a change Of

form of Coryza with sneezing, running

chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
stages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
