drnul committee loft beio today for
Washington, after having concluded
the mlsMon of Investigation tit tho
I'nlted States Military academy. He-foi-e
their departure, however, through
a voluntary agreement of the udulN
hazing was abolished. This voluntniy
agreement was the result of a meeting
of the entire corps of cadets hold In
til ant hull Inst night.
Tho actlott came uh a surprise to the
committee, which consisted of General
Dick, of Ohio; Judge Smith, of loun;
'ongreseman Wunger, of Pennsylva
nia, and Messis. Clayton nnd UrlEE.
of New Vorl:. All of the member ot
the commit tco wore pleased to hear of
tho action of the cadets.
It was nearly midnight when Colonel
., A. L. Mills, the superitnondent of the
academy, handed a copy of tho cadets'
1 resolution to General Dick. When the
other congressmen learned the nature
of It. Mr. Driggs moved that It be read
by Colonel Mills and that afterwards
it should be added to tho record.
Cadets Bottlsou, Mahaffey, Gray and
Atkins, who signed the document on
behalf of their respective classes, were
called before) the committee. The court
room was tilled with army ofllcers and
their wives and daughters, and none
ot them had uny idea of what was
cumins'.
As soon w Colonel Mills read the
resolution. General Dick, addressing
Colonel Mills and the four cadets, said:
This adloli taken by the coins now at (tie m
tloual military academy will be reccistd by tl.e
country l'1 ijn "i appreciation and up rn

liapr. In the history ot all educational In.titi
ticnj In this country: for, when hazing no longer
tlnds a plaeo at West Toint It will certainly not
Itnd lndgftmnt in other educational institution'..
A hundred sears ot history has brought th'.t
irititulioD, perhaps more clocely tlian any other,
in the heartrf of the American people. What
ou base done for it today will leao it etill
higher in tho pood opinion that all true Amcii
cans Iihl' for it. Wo know and appreciate that
men svho icme here tacrifice cs'crythh-8 else in

to add ftill crcatcr lustre and tame to West

fill intotication to find for the eradication
ft anjlhins shlcii intsht 6eeni to be out ol
harmony with its ulgli purpose.

Your soluntary action will be made pel man

I hope ou will carry to jour tlaea the con
gratulations of this committer, lis well svMioj
for their futuic success, and its thank.

sixteen hours daily in public and exe
cutlve sessions. The committee svlll

the Interstate nnd foreign committee at
Washington, D. C. at 1ft o'clock Tues

(rood nuthorlty that they slll recom
mend that the number of tactical ofll
cers at the West Point academy be in
creased. In Hegaid to Booz,
It Is also reported that they will hay
that tho death of former cadets Oscar
J.,. Booz, of Bristol, Pa., and John
Broth, of Altoona, Pa., wero not caused
hy the hazing they received at West
Point.
In ths case of Ilooss the testimony
showed that ho was not very strong
at any time and It Is'sald the members
of tho commit 'co believe that his
health had bet m tired by the treat
ment at tho hnntu bf his follow cadets
In tho academy. At the samo time, It
Is claimed that tho commit too has
failed to discover any connection bo
twecn the swallowing of tobasco sauce
nnd the subsequent death of Boos from

A nshliiRton, Jan. L'O. The senntu
will take up the legislative and judicial
appropriation bill Monday as boon as
possible after convening. There is lit
tle In the bill that oidinarlly would
create debate, but It doo.s not sem
Impiobable that sceral days may he
required to act on It because of tho
desire on the part of some senators
to postpone consideration of tho ship
subsidy bJll as Ion-- as pnsslblo. The
shipping bill will be nsd? the unfin
ished business whenever In tho e-pln-ion
of the fi lends or that incisure it
Is wise to give It that pine"; but. in
view of the fact that it will be dis
placed by appropriation bills wh.'iievov
senators in charse of t:.nse measures
deshe to take them tu It is probable
that the motion to kIvl the ill ;ho
place of vantage will be postponed un
til after the disposition of the le-sls-latlve
bill.
Senator Aldrleh. chairman of ilu fi
nance comlm'ttee. probably will ie
port tho war revenue b'll Mommy or
Tuesday, and he will ask Iminodliits
consideration for that menuiv. Tho
Miles of the senate give preference to
revenue bills, as thoj do to appropria
tion bills, and no order of l'ie cenate
will be necessaij to make a place for
that bill. It is not probable ,lmt ai y
effort will bo mndc to displace up
proplation bills with that i.icaytire,
but all senators seem united In tho
opinion that It necessarily must be
come a law duiinu the session Thu
picscnt impression, how over, la that
this bill .I11 soon be dlst.OMd of.
Democratic senators piobably will
make an effort to secure additional
reductions, but fiilllnir In tills, will
vote for the bill. Tha pension and
military academy npproi tiuttm bills
aro also on the calendar and will to
celve early attention. Tliu Indian tip
ptopri.ition bill will be tepori.l oaily
in tho wool;, but will not be pressed.
Senator Morgan has not Indicated
his purpose with leferen-o to th Nl
caraKua canal bill, but h-.s fil. nthi i-tiy
that ho will delay a ivaontiblo time.
and that if Kngland do.-s not net i.pon
tho amendments to the Hay-Pnunce-folo
treaty, he then will movo con
sideration of the canal hill.
Benewed effort will be made Monday
or Tuesday In executive session to su
ture tho confirmation of .1. H. Hat Ian
as attorney general for Porto Hlco, nnd
also to secure ratification of tho treaty
with Spain for tho cession of the re
nialnlm? Islands of the Philippine
croup.
In the House.
Tho house of representatives will de
vote most of Its attention during tho
coining week to appropilatlon bills, a
series ot them, Dlstilct of Columbia,
formications, naval, postolllee and
agiiculturu being ready for considera

will bj a day or two given to other
measures having right of way. Tho

ported back promptly fioin tho coin

morrow, and sent to conference with
a general disagreement to all senarvi
amendments. It may bo reported back
dining the latter part of tho week nnd
a sharp contest Is promised, Mr. Rich
ardson, of Tennessee, the minority
leader, having Intimated that there
will bo a discussion of each paragraph.
The District of Columbia Is entitled

Britons Greet Royal Heir.
A few weeks later, on the occasion
of th prince's baptism In the royal
chapel of Windsor, ho was shown from
tho balcony to a huge crowd of per
sons, who went wild with delight.
Tho bo, hood of tho pi luce was un
oventtul. His early education was con
ducted at homo under tin tutelage of
tho flow II. M. nirch, rector of I'rest-
wlch: 'Mr. Glbbs. barrister at law: tlio
Hew C. V. Tarvcr and Mr. 11. W. Fish
er. Ho then studied for a session at
Edinburgh, and later entered t'hrlst
church. Oxford. IIoio ho attended
public lectures for a year, and after
ward resided for three or four tonus
at Trinity college, Cambridge, for tho
same purpose.
Ills earliest appearanco lu a leading'
part on any public occasion was in
1859 nt tho laying of tho foundation
stone of the Lambeth School of Art at
Vauxhall. After the death of his fath
er, In December, ISM, he naturally be
came tho most desirable functionary at
all ceremonies In which Wneflclent or
chat liable undertakings wero to bo re
cognized by royal approval. This work
has over slnco occupied a largo share
of his tlmo nnd has always been per
formed with dignity, tact and patience.
Indeed, no prince of any country has
over personally oxortod himself more
futthfully to render services of this
sort to tho community. Tho multipli
city and variety of his engagements on
behalf of local nnd specinl enterprises
make a surprising list, nnd necessarily
Involved a sacrifice of ease nnd leisure
which fow men of high lank would
caro to mahe.
Visit to America,
lu tho summer of 1860 tho prince
paid a visit to Canada and tho United
States. Everywhere lu was received
with boundless enthusiasm. Ho
danced at a ball given In his honor at
Washington, whero ho was cordially
welcomed by 1'resldont Duchanan.
The United States, Indeed, was pro
pared to receive him with open nrins.
At Hamilton, tho last place In Canada
whero he made a halt, ho had spoken
some kindly words, which uwoko gen
eral approval here.
"My duties," ho said, "as represen
tative of tho queen cense this day, but
In a private capacity I am about to
visit notoio my return home that ro
markoble land which clnfms with us
a common nncestry and In whoso ex
traordinary piogress every Englishman
feels a common Interest."
His first stop on American soil was
In Chicago. Thenco he passed on to
St. Louis, Cincinnati, I'lttsburg. llaltl
more and Washington. For live days
ho was a guest of President liuehunaii.
Ho visited Mt. Vernon and planted a
chestnut tre by tho side of Witbhlng
tnn' tomb. From the capital tho prince
and his party set out for Richmond,
then a center of political Intrigue and
soon to prove tho focus of dlsuffoctlon
against tho Union.
His next halt was mudo at Philadel
phia, whero ho visited Independence
hall and other places famous in Anglo.
American history. From Philadelphia
ho took eall for New York, landing at
Custlo Harden on October 11, Ho wns
driven through llroadwoy to tho Fifth
Avenuo hotel, escorted by tho mayor
and other clvlo dignitaries, und cheered
on his way by vast crowds of citizens
who had gathered to do him honor,
Ono featuro of tho hospitalities ten
dercd him In Now Voik was u parade
of the volunteer llio department, six
thousand mon Htronff, eacli man In uni
form und nil ave those at tho ropes
and tillers, benrlng torches.
It Is interesting o note that among
tho parnders wero William M. Tweed
nnd nichard Croker,
Albany, Boston and Portsmouth, N.
II wero visited in turn, and from tho
latter place the Prince and his party
embarked for England on October 20.
In the East.
In H0i, accompanied by Dean Stnn
ley, he maelo a Journey to the east, in
cluding a visit to Jerusalem. Tl o
young Prince wait now of a marriage
able age. Speculation was rife us to
who would bo the lady of his choice.
Tho question wan settled In the early
part of 1SC3, when his engagement was
announced to Princess Alexandra, tho
eldest daughter of the King of Den
innik. She was thtoe yeais younger
than the Pi luce, and though compara
tively poor, was beautiful and accom
plished. Tho inarililgo was celebrated
In St. Ouorge's chapel, Windsor castle,
on Muich 10, Sfi:l.
All Knglnnd lojolced over the event.
Tennyson, tho recently appointed poet
laureate, wioto olio of his first poems,
"A Welcome to Alexandra," on this oc
casion. 'I'ho Princess soon made her
self very popular with nil classes ot tho
IliitHi public, not only by her outward
grace of manner, but also by her vir
tues and amiability. Tho Pilnoo him
self has always shared hi this popular
ity, although tho sterner Puritanism
of' his potential subjects has often been
shocked hy stoilos of his dissipation.
The Pliliee made Ills maiden speech
lu Ihe House of Louis In ISM. It was
In suppoit of the motion In favor of
the better housing of the poor. il was
subsequently one of the commission
appointed to consider the matter. Ho
Is a fervent sportsman, and has never
been without a suing of thoioughbrad
Hieing horses. Seveinl of them, Includ
ing Floi b.el II. and Persimmon, have
won the Dot by. Ho Is as fond of a
good dog ns of a good horse. His ken
nels at Sandiingbam are fourteen In
number, built of brick and Iron, with
evciy modern improvement that archi
tects nnd dog fnnelers could suggest.
As a social factor in England tho
prince has nlss-ays been supreme. Ward
MeAlllRtrr enlled him ' tne great, social
dictator." It was largely through his
received their entree into tlio inner
oiioles of tho Hrltlsh aristocracy.
Nevertheless, tho social nnd fashion
able side of his life has been more of
it duty than a pleasure to him. Ho hui
always been most content when sur
rounded by a circle of his old friends
at his palace, In rsandrlnghani. a small
village In tho county of Norfolk. There
ho has lived tho life or an English
coutnry gentleman.
Popular with the People.
The affection and esteem In which
tho pilneo has been held was never
be'tter exemplllled than In December.
1ST1, when. ho was attacked by typhoid
fever and for some weeks hung be
tween life and death. The anxiety of
tho public wa Intense, and tho news
of his recovery was greeted with gHMt
joy. On his tltst appeal anco In public
to take part In the memorable
"Thanksglvlnr; service" in St, Paul's
cathedral, on February 27. 1872, the
streets along tho line of his route were
crowded with a cheering multitude.
Ho has had five children, the oldest
of whom. Albert Victor Christian IM-

but all hopes aie p.oue.
London. Jan. 21. The bulletin Issued
at midnight was too late to become
known In London, -xeept to a voiy
few. If when tho metropolis wakes,
the queen is still living, her people
must recognize that theic Is really no
hope.
This morning's newspapers have
thrown off all pretense of uny possibil
ity of recovery, nnd they tadly admit
that the end may come at any mo
munt. "While there Is life there Is
hope," they say, and tho queen's con
stitution Is marvolously strong, but It
Is idlo to deny that the danger Is ex
treme. Therefore the papers proceed to re
view her mujosty's long and Illustri
ous reign ns though she weie no more
and to dilate upon the wonderful In
fluence she wielded in Etiropestn politl
iIcb for so many years.
A bright spot In the tuilveisal gloom
Is tho unexpected sympathy displayed
by Emperor William In giving up Im
portant engagements to come to tho
deathbed of his grandmother.
Tho Prince of Wales 13 spending the
night nt. Marlborough house, and Em
peror William nt Hticklngham Palace.
London, Jan. 21. Throughout tho
United Kingdom, yosteiday was a Sun
d"iy of anxiety and suspense. No ono
111 England, outside the court, knew
the teal condition of the queen or tho
nature of her dlse.ise. The bulletins
threw but little light on the uni vestal
question whether death was Imminent.
The London newspapers hud not
learned that her majesty had suffered
a shock of uaralysls.
Extra editions of the Sunday papers
contained no Information beyond tho
nfllci.il bulletins, but there were many
of them nnd they were eagerly bought.
Thr wero small gatherings In the
lclnlty of Buckingham Palace and
Marlborough house, as well as other
centies when tho bulletins were posted.
Crowds assembled to witness tho ar
rival of Emperor William. Apart from
such Incident, however, tho cttstomnry
qulety of a London Sunday wns not
disturbed.
Most Alarming Reports.
The most alarming reports of the day
came In the form of telegrams from
tho princesses at Osborno house. Tho
coming of Emperor William and the
news that King Leopold was about
starting for London Inspired fears that
