WEST l'OINT, N. Y., Jan. 10. Tho llvu
members of tho congressional InvesttKu
tlon' tommlttco hold three Hussions today
at the West l'olnl .aca'demy In the en
deavor to learn If hazlnn had caused I ho
deaths of Cadets Hooit and Ilrcth. Threo
witnesses wcro examined. They were Ca
dets llcttlson, Ennls and Keller, Ilcttt
spn, who comes from Kentucky, was on tho
stand nearly alx hours, taking up nearly
all tho tlmo of tho mnrnliiK and afternoon
sessions, llo was examined nt great length
liv overy member of the committee, on all
points cntalleil In tho Inquiry and his evl
denco was evidently Intended by the com
mittee to be a hauls for their fuluro plans
In conducting tho Investigation. Kvery
thluR of any Importnneo touching, the llreth,
llooz or any other cases Involved In the In
quiry was taken up and HettiHou answered
every question without hesitation.
William 1. Ennls was examined closely
about thrents of reporting Cadets Muot.lcr
and Albert for nny transgressions of tho
rules of tho academy so they would he ills
charged for demerits.
Ennls reiterated tlmo after time thnt he
felt that they weru unfit to slay nt this
academy and acknowledged that he, as
corporal, wan In a position to report their
shortcomings In every detail and did ho.
Ho did so In every ease, but protested thnt
ho did not do them nny Injustice. Colonel
Clayton, who Is a graduate of the academy,
gave the young man n chance to rcdcim
himself In the cyos of tho congressmen
and said: "1 wish to ask thla witness no
more questions, hut I would advise the
young man to revise his Ideas If ho Intends
to remain in tho army.
Cadet Keller, who fought with Booz,
was made to tell the story of the bout
between himself 'and the I'cnns.ylvanlnn,
on August 6, 18U8. Ills story was In every
dotal! similar to that given before the mili
tary court last month. Ho told of his be
ing knocked out nfterwards by Cadet Wil
liams In a round and u half.
TpIIh A Ixi lit the KIkIiIn,
Cadet William 11. Ucttlsm. of Kentucky
was tho first witness. Ho testified that
Cadet Drctli was his classmate and that
Cadet nooz was a fourth class man while
ho (tho witness) was n third class man.
Ho never knew of Dreth being hazed. Wit
ness said ho knew of flvo lights botween
cadets during his first year and was present
at two of them.
Witness said that there wore nlno flghta
during the yenr 18!9-1900 and sovori during
tho present year. Hcttlsou recalled the
n lilies of the participants In nearly all of
these fights. He said none of these fights
had been Investigated by the authorities and
consequently no one was punished, He had
never beon a principal In a fight, but had
officiated nt' several and was tho chairman
of tho "scrapping" committee, which de
cided when n fight was to bo arranged.
Hcttlsou described tho lights ns bare
knuckle contests and said tho rounds were
two minutes each, He Bald the principals
stripped fo tho waist and fights were usually
to u finish.
"Then you hero hold tights of a brutal
nature which tho laws of forty-ono out of
tho forty-live states of tho union have pro
hibited?" said Mr. Drlggs. ncttlson made
no reply.
Mr. Orlggs then Inquired If hazing or as
sisting nt flRhts of cadets was violating tho
oath administered on his entering tho
academy. After somo ovnslon tho witness
said that violation of the academy regula
tions were not considered by the cadets as
violation of tho articles of war and wore
not looked upon as military disobedience,
lino Aei'UNi-il of I'litrutliN.

Cnnlcs. Hooz. he said," also mado an Im
proper remark to an .upper-class man when
spoken to and in consequence of nil three
cciisc.i he was "called out.
Cadet llcttlson was on the etnnd for over
flvo hours nnd prior to his being excused
Chalrmnn Dick nsked him If ho had any
thing further to say. He replied; I want
to fay, sir, that the difference, between the
hazing of a man here nnd at colleges Is that
In collogcs freshmen are hazed by sopho
mores In a spirit of mlschlof and rome
times hands are laid on theru brutally.
Horn we never lay hands on a man except
In tho case of a fight. Our hazing If
specifically for the purposp. of making n
fourth-class man realize tho necessity for
prompt obedience."
Cadet William I. Ennls pf Colorado, a
cndct-iit-large, who stands fourteenth In
tho present first class, was called. Con
grcssman Wnnger of Pennsylvania exam
Ined the witness, who knew little about
Former Cadet llooz. He was not proscnt
nt the Iloiv.-Kellcr tight, although bo was
class president of the third class during
tho summer encampment of 1808. He said
Micro were six lights In that year. In re
ply to Congrcauman Smith tho witness snld
that most of the fights at the post tool;
placo on Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
To l.'ori'o Out Albert nnil lluetr.lcr
Tho witness hnd a rather bad quarrel of
an hour with Mr. Orlggs, who questioned
In regard to Former Cadets Albert nnil
Huctzlcr. Ennls acknowledged that ho
said It would be a, good thing to give these
men a sufficient "number of demerits to
forco them out of the academy. Hoth of
them aro now out of the academy, Huctzlor
on account of demerits nnd Albert for de
ficiency In studies.
Ennls made no secret of the fact that ho
felt that the men should he gotten rid ot
and relternted this sentiment distinctly
on tho stand In reply to Congressmen
Orlggs, Wanger and Clayton. He was In a
position ns corporal In tho company to
report Infractions on tho part of Albort
and did so on every occasion, but nover
unfairly or unjustly. Witness, In reply to
Congressman Smith, ngnln made similar
statements, much to the surprise of thoso
who heard him. General Olck asked Col
onel Clayton If ho had any more questions
to ask tho witness and the colonel said:
"I havo nothing more to nsk, but I would
advlso this young man to revise his Ideas
It ho Intends to go Into tho army."
Chalrmnn Dick then took the witness In
hand and requested him to describe all
tho forms of exercising. The general
called off nil tho well known exercises from
a list and Ennls explained them. Ho added
a new one, which Is called "swimming to
Nowburgh." This exercise consists of u
mun lying on his stomach while he goes
through tho motions of a swlnimer. These
maneuvers last until t.io 'bazers think ho
has gono far enough. Tho witness In do-
tall told the committee tho process )iy
which a cadet qualified In "sammy" and
In "prunes," ns well, as other commodities
In the mess hall.

llriibiirii of lonn.
WASHINGTON". Jan, 10. The general de
bate on the river and harbor bill continued
In tho house until 1 o'clock, when the
death ot Hepresentntlvo Clarke of Now
Hamrshlre was announced nnd the house
adjourned out of respect to his memory.
The features of the debate today were
tho Kprecbcs of Mr. CuMiman of Washing
ton nnd Mr. Hepburn of Iowa. Tho latter
has been a persistent opponent of river and
harbor hills for years nnd ho attacked the
bill all nlotii; the line In his usually vigor
ous fashion. Mr. Cushman's speech was
unique. Ho wns In favor of riser and
harbor appropriations, and his complaint
was duo to tho fact thnt the mcmbcra of
tho eommlltrc. nccordlng to his Ideas, had
located thn bulk of the appropriations In
their own stnteB nnd hnd given scant con
sideration to tho needs of other Rtates
especially to the Seattle ship canal In his
own state.
Mr. Cushman Illustrated his remnrks with
a terlcB of carefully prepared charts. He
criticised several of tho Individual mout
hers of tho committee In breezy Htylc, and
became engaged In hnlf a dozen very
spirited encounters before ho concluded.
Members crowded about the area In front
of tho speaker's desk, where he stood ex
plaining tho figures upon the charts nnd
ovcryonc seemed to enjoy the plcturctqtie
performance Immensely. When he wound up
with a glowing appeal for Justice to tho
Seattle project, ho got a stirring round ot
applause.
CntrrliiK tn 1'rrnU Slilpn.
Mr. Hepburn also assailed tho policy of
tho river nnd harbor cnmralvslon In deep
cuing the harbor to meet the draught of
some ship which some freak shipbuilder
saw fit to build. Ilocnuso a Scotch ship
building firm was building a nhlp lo draw
thirty-four feet, tho last river and harbor
bill decided to Increase, the channel in New
York harbor to forty feet; now this bill
proposed to deepen the channel nt Boston
harbor. Next year Philadelphia would de
mam! deeper water, then Baltimore,
Charleston nnd New Orlennu. He argued
that shipbuilders could be compelled to
conform tho draught of their ships to tho
depth of water In the harbor they wcro to
enter and not tho harbors lo tho draught
of the ships.
Speaking of tho Mississippi river, he de
clared that although $40,000,000 had been
spent on that river, no substantial increase
In the navigation of the river had resulted.
Ho defied nnyone, "unless bo were Inter
ested In river and harbor ' improvements
or nn nnglnecr of tho United Stntes army,"
to produce proof to tho contrary.
t'liNlimnn'M I. mir Churl.
Mr. Cushmnn of Washington followed
with another assault upon the bill. Ho
Illustrated his remarks with an enormous
chart, which ho had brought' Into the hall
Members crowded about to examine the
exhibit It made. On a tablo on one Bide,
In figures sufficiently large to bo read from
tho remotest limits of tho hall, was n list
of seventeen states which had members
on tho river and harbor committee, giving
the amounts appropriated. Tho direct appro
priation amounted to $11,238,260. The nu
thorUod appropriations amount to 24,
457,896. Ho said tho seventeen states with
members on tho committee got all the np
proprlatlons, with the' exception of $8,340,
657 In appropriations nnd authorizations
left to tho remaining twenty-eight states
and territories, ten of which got nothing
whatever. Mr. Cushman said ho was In
favor of river and harbor Improvements,
but n bill for that purposo should bo for
the benefit of the wholo country nnd not
for tho benefit of tho members of the com
mittee. Ho spoke, ho said, as ono who had
been victimized by the bill. Ho said the
committee had "overlooked hla state an
If It had been a "white -chip In a faro
game." He represented a city that had
a tonnage or ti.uuii.uuu nnu it got tne
"measly" sum of $30,000.
'If you think my vote can he bought at
thnt price," he said, addressing members
of tho committee, "you arc off your baso."
Mr. Cushman's criticisms aroused tho
members of tho committee and they kept
up a continual firo of questions whllo ho
was speaking. As a result thcro were
somo exceedingly spicy exchanges.
Mr. Cushman had brought into the hall
another chart showing tho appropriations
nccordlng to the recommendations of the
chief engineers. The states represented by
the river and harbor commission, he said
got 86 per cent of the appropriations rec
ommended, whllo thoso that remained got
less than 40 per cent.
I'ro.en KnutH lot- Committer,
"I Invite the members of the committee,'
Bald ha, "to go up against tho frozen facts
of that chart." (Laughter). One by one
Mr. Cushman paid his respects to the mem
bers of the committee, producing Individual
maps showing tho appropriations each

tics with frontago on Lake Michigan and
each ono had nn appropriation in the bill
In conclusion Mr. Cushman disclosed tho
reason for his attack. It waa beeauso tho
commltteo had not provided for the Seattle
ship canal.
Mr. Alexander of Now York, a member
ot Iho river and harbor committee, made
a general detente of tho committee, point
ing out how fallacious It was to charge to
a stnto money for tno gonernl Iraprovo
ment of the facilities ot the country. He
pointed out how natural It was that tho
river and harbor coinmlttco would bo made
up of members whoso sections were Inter
estcd In river and harbor Improvements
After some further remarks by Mr. Manii
ot Illinois and Mr. Otoy of Vrjrjlnla the
committee rose. Mr. Hill of Connecticut
announced tho death of Frank G. Clarko
of Now Hampshire and presented tho cus

TELLER PRESENTS MEMORIAL
TruiiHiultii to thr Sciintr uu Appeil
SIkiii-iI Ii- Tno T'lionsimd In
' ImliltnnU of Moulin.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. On the deBk o
Mr. Oalllnger of New Hampshire at th
opening of today's session of the sennt
lay a bunch of beautiful roses, sent by
friends as a testimonial of his efforts t
sccuro tho abolition of the canteen in the
army.
Mr. Teller presented a memorial from
2.000 "Filipino and peaceful Inhabitants" o
Manila. The memorial was In the form
an appeal to the congress of thn United
Htaates, and, as Mr. Teller stated, wa
"signed personally by the Veadlns peopl
f Manila and that section lawyers, bank
ers nnd professional men representing tho
best elements of that community." It re-
lowed the circumstance leading up to tho
present struggle of tho Filipinos for Inde
pendence. It paid high tribute to the
work of Agtilnaldo nnd his coadjutors In
their endeavor to obtain liberty and Inde
pendence for the people of the 1'hlllpplncs.
Iteferenro was made to some of the
principal events of thn present revolution
gainst tho American authority, tho peti
tion urging that the American troops had
failed to make a Fcrlous Impression upon
the revolutionary party. It pointed out that
Agulnaldo had declared ho might lose the
hopo of victory, but he would not lose tho
hopo of dying for the liberty nnd Independ
ence of his people. It points out thnt the
rovolutlon has thp support of practically nil
tho people of tho Philippines and declnres
lint though 100 revolutionists bo destroyed,
1.000 will rlso tip to support tho fight for
Independence. All of the Islnnds of the
rchlpelngo, rnj-B the memorial, arc support
ing tho revolution nnd they will not yield
until the last drop of Filipino blood has
been shed.
I'rrirc'iillon of ttu1 l-'lllplnos,
"The Filipino nation," the memorial con-
tlnuci. "bearing In mind the history of
Amorlcn nnd Its humanitarian doctrines,
nskH the government of the United States
to cease Its persecution of men struggling
to bo free struggling ngalnst greater odds
nnd greater wrongs than those which In
spired tho fnthers of tho republic."
This they ask "In the name of Washing
ton, of Jefferson, of Lincoln, In the namo of
Justice and in the name of tho God
eternal,"
Tho appeal declares that an autonomy
Imllar to that enjoyed by Canada or Aus
tralia would not be acceptable to the Fili
pinos, who desire full liberty nnd Independ
ence, and they urge the government of the
United tntes to give them liberty nnd Inde
pendence.
When the reading of tho memorial had
been concluded Mr. Teller nsked that It bo
printed as a document.
"I protest ngalnst the paper being printed
as n senate document," said Mr. Hawley.
"It Is nn attack upon the United Stales,
Its authority and troop and passionate
appeal to the Filipinos to como and kill our
men.
'If Jefferson Davis had brought forth a
similar paper nfter the battle of Getty?-
burg and demanded to have It read and
printed as a senate document It would
havo been mild crime In comparison with
this."
On account of the objection of Mr. Haw
ley tho order went over until tomorrow.
Army Itrnruniilriittini DIncuhncmI.
Consideration of tho army reorganization
hill was then resumed, the pending nucs
tlon being the amendment offered by .Mr.
Proctor piovldlng the munner In which
volunteers might bo appointed first nnd
second lleutennnts In the regular army.
Mr. Proctor' said the pending bill cer
tainly had nut been drnwn with the Idea nt
rewarding favorites as suggested by Mr.
Teller. Ho felt that tho hill wont ns far
In providing for the retirement nf nfflceru
as it. should go. Pending nction on the
amendment proposed by Mr. Teller to In
crease the retired list, tho wholo matter
went over until tomorrow.
An amendment offered by Mr. Penrose,
authorizing the momhers of societies and
corps and regimental organizations of Span
ish war veterans to use nnd wear on occa
sions the distinctive badge of such organl
zatlons wns adopted.
Mr. Penrose nlso offered an amendment
providing In clnbornte terms ngalnst the
desecration of the United States Hag, but
objection was made and It went over.
MimvcII l'uM Tribute to I. re.
Mr. Danlol of Virginia offered nn amend
ment authorizing the president to select
from the list of volunteers .two brigadiers,
without regard to age, with n view of ap
pointing them mnjor generals, of tho regu
lar army nnd. retiring them. Mr. Daniel
stated that the amendment was Intended to
provide for the retirement of General Wll
son and General Leo.
A commltteo amendment to Increase the
number of first-class privates In tho slg
nal corps from 200 to 300 was adopted,
Mr. Sewcll offered an amendment to tho
amendment authorizing tho president to se
lect a regular army officer, not nbovo the
rank of brigadier general to bo appointed
a major general and be retired.
In response to some criticism by Mr. Pet-
tlgrow of tho propositions conveyed by tho
amondmentH, Mr, Scwell paid a handsome
trlbuto to both General Wilson and General
Lee.
Tho latter, ho said, had conferred bril
liant service upon the country In a civil
caoaelty, and It waa well known that he
had been selected practically to lead tho nt-
tnck upon Havana. Ho characterized htm
as one of the finest ofllcers In tho army.
In answer to an Inquiry from Mr. Teller,
Mr. Sewcll replied that his amendment wns
Intended to apply to tho benefit of the
"man who conquered tho Spanish nation,
General Shatter."
I't'ttlKrcir S ii err nt .Hlinfter.
Mr. Pettlgrow dcclnrcd thoro wns noth
ing in tho history ot the conflict at Santi
ago which warranted tho proposed action by
the senate.
"It Is conferring distinction for honor
not won," ho dcclarod, "and for services
not rendered. I am opposed to It. If I
read the history of that engagement cor
rectly, the credit for our victory doos not
belong to General Shatter,"
Mr. Pottlgrew then sent to tho clork'a
desk and had read a chapter of Senator
Lodge's history ot the Hspano-A'.uerlcnn
wnr, giving an account ot the battlo ot
Santiago.
After tho clerk had read for Borne time,
Mr. Pettlgrew himself took up tho reading,
making us ho proceeded, sarcastic remarks
upon General Shatter's conduct of tho bat
tle. "Yet," ho said, "this is the man who Is
to be honored specially by this congress,
after It has had luld before It tho damag
ing testimony of the most eminent his
torian ot this body. The victory was not
won by General Shatter, but tu spite of
Qeneral Shatter. Now wo Intend to pro-
moto him for Inefficiency without parallel
In the history of battles resulting In vic
tory. "We havo already promoted Corhln, who
was not away from Washington during tho
war, and Farnsworth, who acted as a clerk
only, nnd now wo propose to put Shatter
on the list to emphasize the fact that con
gress never promotes anybody unless It Is
sure that he has never done any fighting."
Shnfter Ailileil to 1,1st,
Mr. Row ell made a warm defouso of Gen
eral Shatter, lid declared that General
Shatter had beeh selected to command the
army In Cuba as ono of tho bent soldiers
of the army, an ofllcer who had sottled
satisfactorily all the Indlnn troubles In
the southwest and wan the fighting man of
tho period. He was n military genius, It
was conceded by military authorities and
those competent to Judge.
Mr. Sewell'H amendment was agreed to,
21 to 41. and the original amendment was
agreed to without a division. '
Mr. Pottlgrew uffered a new section of
the amendment providing that one-third ot
tho original vacancies creutrd by this act
shall be filled by selections from the o tu
tors ot volunteers.
Mr. Proctor opposed the amendment, in
support ot the amendment Mr. Danlol de
clared that tho bill, as It now stood, was
a proscription against the whole volunteer
force of thn United Statea. It was a meas
ure dxsignrd to fence oft commissions In the
roeuUr army from the volunteer otllcers,
Without concluding his speech, Mr. Dan
iel yielded tho floor until tomorrow,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Thurston today favorably
reported from the committee on Judiciary
his bill providing for additional district
Judges In the districts of Minnesota nn.l
Nebraska, with nn amendment providing
thnt the senior circuit Judgo of the Klghth
circuit or resident circuit Judgo within
that district shnll make all necessary or
ders for the division of business nnd assign
ment of cases for trial In olthcr of said
districts. The roport states that there are
strong tcasons for the appointment of addi
tional district Judges In Mlnnesotn nnd Ne
braska, It calls attention tn the fact that
all ot the other states In the Klghth cir
cuit containing ns large a population ns
cither of the two stntes named are n trendy
divided Into two or mora Judicial dlttrlrls
and thnt nu examination ot court rocords
will dbclose that the business In each of
these courts Is considerably In excess' of
that of other districts. The report contains
extracts from a letter of Judge Henry Clay
Caldwell, senior Judge of the circuit, which
statea thnt thn Klghth circuit, In point nf
torrltory nnd business, Is too large by one
half, and thut under the prevent arrange
ment the wholo time of tho circuit Judges
Is taken up by work In the circuit court of
appeals. Judgo Caldwell says thnt by the
hardest kind of work the Judges have been
able, up to the present time lo keep down
arrearages, but It Is obvious that they will
not bo nblc to do ho much longer. Ho
further soys that It Is very desirable that
circuit Judges should go out on the circuit
nnd do circuit work officially. "Indeed,"
he says, "It Is Bometlmes Imperatively nec
essary for them to do bo, hut they cnuunt
do circuit work and sit lu the circuit court
of appeals nt the same time."
Tho report goes on to state that the
committee has provided for tho appoint
ment of an additional district Judge In each
ot the districts of Minnesota and Nebraska
Instead of provldlug for tho division ut
these states Into special districts, ami thnt
under existing conditions, both In the dis
tricts and In the circuit, the committee be
lieves this Is tho most desirable legislation
at the present time.
IIiisIiii'hm gatlnfnctorlly Ciniiliieloil.
Iri the matter of additional ofllcers Iho
report rcmnrko thnt tho business of tho
districts socms to be satisfactorily con
ducted nnd that ndditlonnl officers, such
ns district nttorneys nnd clerks of court,
need not bo provided, as would be neces
sary in rnso of tho division of the dis
tricts. Senntor Thurston said he would push the
bill to passage hs rapidly as possible and
woud try to got a favorable report from
the house committee on Judiciary, ns It wat
patent to over) one that this legislation waa
Imperatively needed. Ho hoped for favor
able nction In the house, hut was not over
sanguine of the bill's passing both branches
beforo adjournment.
Mercer' Almenoc ltntmo Criticism.
The absence of Hepresentntlvo Mercer
from his committee ot public buildings and
grounds Ik being vigorously commented
upon by congressmen who have building
bills pending before that committee. Mer
cor wo8 expected back on Monday, but now
that it has been announced that he Intends
to reirtnln In Lincoln until the legislature
performs Its constitutional right, caustic
criticism Is heard about the corridors, and
his friends are kept busy dispelling as, much
as possible the gathering storm.
Hummer Klcctlon of Senators.
As one congressman Bald: "The election
of senators should tnke place In summer
tlmo, when congress la not In Bcsslon. Thon
If tho representatives In the lower branch
ot congrcrs desired to get Into the senate
they could look after their senatorial booms
without seriously clogging the wheels of
legislation us Mercer is now doing. I had
a promise from Mercer beforo he left for
the west thnt ho would glvo me n hearing
on my building bill, which my people want
passed at this session. He will have to
hurry back to Washington mighty fast If
ho wants to keep faith with me."
This Is n sample of what 1b being said,
and as there has been no direct provision
made for holding tho committee meetings
In the absence of, the chairman, Morcur's
ears must be tingling these days, ub tho
men who hnvo bills pending In his com
mltteo go Into his commltteo room to meet
the monotonous reply of tho clerk, "Havo
beard nothing about Mr, Mercer's move
mcnts."
lrrlKiitlou In XHirnaUn.
Congressman Sutherland is taking a great
Interest In the subject of Irrigation theso
days, and lately he has beon on a still hunt
for n hearing before tho irrigation commlt
teo of the house, of which Representative
Tongue of Oregon Is chairman. Sutherland
has a bill pending appropriating $25,000 for
Irrigation purposes, to bo spent In Ne
braska, and he desires his hill roporteJ
out of committee.
"I bellevo my efforts to set a hearing
on tho Irrigation problem will bo success
ful," he tald, "ond that a bill will bo re
ported, which will ho of Incalculable bene
fit to tho arid sections of our country."
XulirnsUn nt Till) or 1,1x1.
Tho Hurlclgh reapportionment bill, which
puts tho ratio for the members of congress
nt 104,182, ronkes n deficient ratio for No-
hruska and Maine. Dividing the population
of the stato by six, tho number of tho
prcsont delegation, It gives a ratio of 178,
0S9 nnd puts Nebraska at tho tall of tho
list, next to Maine, which has a still lower
ratio.
