Ho said Hreth's physical condition before entering tho academy was excellent. Ho treated him two weeks after his return from West Point for hemorrhoids. Last October ho treated him for typhoid pneumonia, from which ho died. Ureth never told him anything about hazing. All tho information In that line enmo from tho boy's parents. The boy was nervous after having returned from West Point nnd tho physicians often wondered what had caused It. It had been reported thai. Ilrcth was compelled to eat soap at West Point.

A notable speech was delivered In tho scnatn today by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts. Addressing the sennto on the amendment of the mllltnry committee, striking out tho proposition In the army reorganization bill for a vet erinary corps, ho discussed briefly and principally In the form of a collpquy with Scnntor Ilacon of Ocorgla tho Philippine question nnd the necessity for nn, army of 100,000 men. In conclusion ho drew a bril liant word picture of the commercial future of tho t'nlted States, declaring that the trade conlllct with Europe, already begun, could result only In tho commercial nnd ocouomlc Btiprcmucy of this country over tho entire world. In thl3 Industrial con lllct he apprehended no danger from a ma terial content with any nation of the world, but ho urged the necessity for a strong nnd scientifically organized army and a power ful navy In ordir thnt the United Stales might lie prepared to defend Its rights ngalnst any possible war. The Bpeech cro ated a profound Impression. During the afternoon the senate ratified tho military committee's recommendation to eliminate the house provision for n veterinary corps In tho nrmy. Senator Tel ler of Colorado gave notice of n substitute ho will ofTcr for the entire pending meus ure, continuing In full force nnd effect the net of March 3, ISA!), Increasing tho size of tho urniy for three years, from July 1, 1901.

A bill was reported from the Judlclnry committee amending nn act to -freato the southern division of tho southern district of lown, changing the tlmo for tho holding of court from the first Monday In May nnd fourth Monday In September to the fourth Tuesday In Mnrch and tho third Tuesday lu October. It was passed. A Joint resolution was reported from tho District of Columbia committee authorizing tho secretnry of war to grant permits to tho commlttco on tho Inauguration of tho president for tho uso of public reservations In Washington and to loan flags for decora tion purposes. Tho resolution was adopted. Tho resolutions of Mr. Ilacon nnd Mr. Pettlgrew relating to tho declination of tho executive to send to tho senate tho re port of A. I..

Vc trrliinry Corp Oiipomcil. Consideration was resumed off tho nrmy reorganization bill. Discussion of the com mittee amendment striking out tho pro vision for a veterinary cordis In the nrmy was begun, Mr. Kenny ot Delaware, thu champion In tho senate of tho proposed vet erinary corps, urging that tho comraltteo's amendment bo rejected. Mr. Sewell, a member of tho military com mittee, replying, said that n great In Jti8tIco would bo dono regular army offi cers by tho Injection Into tho army of a new corps. Mr. I.odgo objected to tho proposition to establish a veterinary staff corps. Ho had no objection to giving proper pny nnd oven rank to veterinary surgeons, but i.j de nounced ns "bitterly unlust" to the ofll cers of tho regular army tho effort to creato as colonel nnd majors nnd captains men who were to bo tnkon out of civil life nnd plnco them In authority over men who had devoted their lives to army affairs. DUcutsing tho general features of the measure, Mr. I.odgo said ho diil not think any .American citizen honestly believed that tho liberty of the people was menaced by an army of 100.000. As to tho situation In the Philippines. Mr. Lodge maintained that "organized rebellion has ceased and the locnl Georgo Washington is in hiding." "In a short time," snld Mr. Lodge, "I believe thcro will bo peace and order throughout tho Phlllpplno islands." Ho maintained, however, that with a force ot 2.r,000 in tho Philippines, tho United btntes would Keep bettor order than over had been known there. With that ,'orco In tho Philippines thoro would yj about 33,000 men loft to man tho fnrtlficntlons of the country, a force which ho believed totally Inadequate. In nddltlon, that forco would bo called upon to guard the Nicaragua cannl, which It Is proposed soon to begin to build. On that canal there would bo employed 60,000 lnborcrs. They would hnvo to bo protected. When finished tho eanul would hnvo to bo guurded. In his opinion, nt tho end of two years tho forco In the Philippines could bo reduced materially and nt tho end of four or fivo yenrs tho forco would probably be reduced safely to 20,000 men.

Mr. Kitchen of North Carolina, the first speaker today, supported tho Ho'iklns bill, but said ho would vote ugalnst tho amend ment requiring tho congressional districts In the several states (o be "contiguous nnd compact." He said ho did not believe con gres had tho power to designate tho man ner In which tho stato should mako up con gressional districts. Mr. Kitchen then re plied nt some length to tho speech made by Mr. Ltnney of North Carolina last Satur day attacking the toutbern democrats for disfranchising the negro, Mr. Lacy of Iowa, who followed Mr, Kitchen, also supported Uia UapkUis bill. Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana, the member of the census committee who reprcacnted tho minority report In fnvor of reducing the representation In southern stales pro portionate to the abridgement of the fran chise, then took tho floor for an hour. As between tho Hopkins and Hurleigh bills he favored tho latter becauso It kept pace with the growth of the country. He argued that during recent years the Influence of the houso In legislation hnd gradually dimln Ishor a condition due to tho fact that the members of tho lower house nllowcd them selves to be dominated by tho senate and the chltf executive. If the member.ihlp ns to remain stationary as the years went on. Its Influence would continue to decrease. Mr. Crumpacker then developed his argu ment In favor of reducing representation lu rertaln southern states along the Hues of his report. Mr. Wilson nf South Carolina spoke In favor of tho Hurleigh bill nnd Incidentally discussed the negro question In tho south. Tho worthy and Industrious negro popula tion, ho tnld, wero being educated nnd enred for In tho south, and It was only against tho criminal class, those guilty of nn ntroclous crime against women, that lynching was directed. y Mr. Hepburn of Iowa declared the house was no longer a deliberative body, having become so bulky ns to Iopo its deliberative functlous. Moreover, the reproseittntivo chnrncter of mcmbors had been lost in this unwieldy body, bo thnt action lu'd become almost Impossible.

Thcro was n little tilt between President Ilulla and Member Huberts nt thu monthly meeting of tho Hoard of Educntlon last night, nnd It nil came about over tho in creapo in tho salary of ono of tho teachers. During tho early part of tho session thu teachers' committee, of which Ilulla Is n member, nsked for n five-minute recess. This was granted and tho commlttco re mained closotcd for nearly half nn hour. When It reported ltrcconiniended thnt tho salary of Miss Anna Cusick bo Increased $5 a month. This recommendation was pre sented In tho sbnpo of a motion and wart adopted by tho board, Roberts then handed up a motion Increasing tho salaries of nil tho teachers $3 a month. When this mo tion was passed up to Ilulla ho toreMt Into shreds nnd threw It on tho floor, thinking thnt Roberts was playing a Joko on him. This nctlon on tho part of tho president nugercd Roberts and ho insisted that the motion was mado In good faith and ho wanted It considered.

Only a very fow ot tho employes of tho plant hero will "attend tho services, although about forty heads of departments who for merly worked In Chicago havo expressed n desire to go.

Tho flags on tho staffs at Armour's nt tlin stock yards and at Swift's wero half-masted yesterday out oi respect to tho dead packer.

General Manager Kenyou of tho Union Stock Yards compnny nnd other officers of tho company will leave for Chicago tonight to nttend the funeral. Tho death ot Mr. Armour will not, It Is stated, mnko any changes In tho manage ment of tho Armour Interests here. ev Cluirlcr Coniiilclcil, Tho much talked of charter for South Omaha Is at last completed and Is being typewritten In order that it may bo pre sented to tho legislature at tho earllst pos sible) moment. On account ot the need of tho Immediate presentation ot tho docu mont to tho legislature, tho much-talked-of mass meeting may be abandoned. It Is stnted thnt If nn attempt Is made to read the entire charter through, section by tec ton, It will tnko at least threo ovenlngs, and possibly moro it any discussion Is al lowed. For this reason It has been sug gested that tho charter be sent to Lincoln at once In order that It may bo Introduced nnd printed. Then printed copies will be distributed to nil lntorestednxpiiyorB and such alterations ns may ho desired ran bo determined upon after tho hill Is intro duced nnd given n placo on the files. It will bo nn easy matter, It Is nsscrted, to secure amendments to tho charter after It has nnco been Introduced. This suggestion of having printed copies Is considered a good one by a great many and It may bo adopted. Destroyed tty Fire, A meat market ond grocery storo owned by J. D.
