Nov. 26. A special to the Herald from "West Point says: Solltaryconfinement and reduction to the ranks was the severe punishment ordered for three officers and one private of the United States Military Academyafter a re cent breach of discipline on the "two hun dredth" night before commencement. Acting First -Cantata 'Guthrie, of" Colo rado, for permitting a breach of order in the mess hall and for subsequent in subordination, was sentenced by a com mittee of army officers to solitary confine ment and the removal of his chevrons. He was transferred to Company F. Cadet Commandant D. D. Gregory, of Missouri, was sentenced to confinement and degral dation to the ranks. Cadet Lieutenant "William F. Russell, of New Hampshire, for breach o fdlsclpline. was reduced to the ranks. Private Dowd. Cade-t-at-Large, In the fourth class, was demerited and or dered to confinement for causing a breach of discipline in the mess halL The punishment came for one night's sport with the "plebs- In the mess hall. The plebs were ordered to "sound off" the number of days until June, when the classmen will become Second Lieutenants in the Army. In West Point parlance a "sound off" Is to answer at once the question put by a superior. In the book of tactics it is the command given at dress parade by the Adjutant-General of the battalion to the band. When seen last night the superintendent of the Military Academy said in an in terview: "The punishment of the cadets was merely a matter of discipline. They were punished in the way such breaches are usually dealt with. It was not a case of hazing." Lieutenant Russell, the superintendent, said, was disciplined for a breach of reg ulations unassoclated with the disturb ance in the mess hall. THE DAY'S RACE& Races at Tanforan.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26. The Times-Herald says: Three Chicago yachtsmen have formed a syndicate to build a defender for the Canada's cup. The cunning of an Eastern designer, the skill of an East era builder, together with the best ot equipment money can buy will combine to produce a craft which the prospective owners believe may worthily represent the Chicago Tacht Club In the interna tional race with the Canadian representa tive. George M. Pynchon, Benjamin Carpenter and Morrill Dunn, all of whom, have had considerable experience In sailing upon the inland lakes, have pooled Interests, and for several weeks have been schem ing as to what Ideas would best be Incor porated in the new craft. As the class of the yachts competing for the ..rophy is yet to be determined by the joint committee of the Royal Canadian and Chicago Yacht Clubs, plans for de signs must be held in abeyance. However, It Is settled a yacht will be built, and It will be In Lake Michigan by May 1. Races at Newport. CINCINNATI, Nov. 26. The results at Newport: Five furlongs Empress of Beauty won.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26. In the ascending scale of prices paid for November corn by the belated shorts, a new mark was touched today 50 cents an advance of 5 cents from the cloee Saturday, and of 3 cents from the best previous price. The close was 1 cent lower, Phillips bidding 49 cents. The action of the appeals com mittee in turning down as below contract grade two cargoes tendered Phillips by Counselman and Bartlett-Frazer, had the expected effect of strengtnenlng the po sition of the bull leader and adding fur ther worry to the troubles already heaped upon the shoulders of the shorts. For the first time In several days, Phillips took an active hand in the game as an open bidder for small and large lots. The opening price was 46 cents, and there was a gradual advance to 49 cents. Phil lips taking most of the offerings. The first bid of CO cents was by Carr for 5000 bushels, and it brought some stop-loss orders on the market, Phillips filling one of 5000 bushels for Logan, and making a number of smaller sales, his sales ex ceeding his purchases by about 60,000 bush els. While November gained 4 cents, De cember was also strong on covering by shorts, and a big trade, early selling at 36i cents, and closing at 36 cents. May closed unchanged at 36 cents. There was some changing from December to May at U cent premium for December. Acceptances were heavier, but for de ferred shipments, and the elevators, dis heartened by the failure of their attempt to foist kiln-dried corn on Phillips, were not In the market for low grades. The receipts, 57 cars. Included only 51 cars contract. There were 8000 bushels In by canal-boat, and 49 cars and 41,000 bushels transferred from private to public houses, some of It possibly to be turned down by the appeals committee later. A dispute arose over the quality being loaded on the steamer Pabst at the Coun selman elevator "C," In South Chicago. The loading began In the morning with a different quality of corn from that ten dered Saturday. It was passed on fa vorably by Chief Supervising Inspector Smllle, and accepted by Mr. Phillips' In spector. Some 20,000 bushels had been loaded when Mr. SmlUe left the dock and declared there could be .no objection If the quality was kept up. Down on the board of trade, where No vember corn had risen In the pit to 50 cents, almost as much excitement was occasioned when Charles Counselman called Mr. Phillips from the pit. They were at once surrounded lay a Jostling crowd of speculators, eager to hear the conversation. The big elevator specu lator, towering head and shoulders above the slight speculator, said to him: "Mr. Phillips, I don't want to give you anything but contract corn, and I am hairing No. 2 corn loaded on your vessel." "All I ask, Mr. Counselman, Is to get contract corn, and with that I shall be perfectly satisfied." That was the extent of the conversa tion, hardly belligerent enough to satisfy the expectations of speculators, but It was suggestive of an armed truce. Another engagement was on In a few hours, for after 65,000 bushels had been loaded on the steamer at South Chicago, Phillips' inspector reported that a poorer quality of corn was being dumped into the boat. The work of loading was ordered stopped, and Mr. Phillips went to the State Grain Department and demanded that the appeals committee be sent down to examine the cargo. This committee could not go then, but will, It Is expected, look at the corn tomorrow morning. . Receiver for the Guardian Trust. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26. The application of John W. Gates et aL, for the appointment of a receiver for the Guardian Trust Company, was filed In the United States Circuit Court today. Judge Amos Thayer reserved his decision. It Is alleged In the affidavits accompanying the petition that the Guardian Trust Company is being mismanaged by President A. E. Stlllwell; that Its funds are being used to promote the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Rail way. President Stlllwell and other officers of the company say that Its affairs are In excellent condition, and deny the charges made In the petition. It is asserted by Mr. Stlllwell that the application for a receiver Is a personal attack on him by John W. Gates to oust him from the con trol ot the Guardian Trust Company and to ruin the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient enterprise. Bryan Will Talk. CHICAGO, Nov. 26. Before Mr. Bryan left for his home in .Lincoln, Neb., it is said he gave assurances that he would be present at the Jackson Day banquet to be held in this city January 8. Other speakers have not been selected, but' it Is believed that one of them will b Cato Bells, of Iowa. Mr. Sells was to have spoken at the last banquet held In the Tremont House, but as he was alighting from the carriage that brought him from the Sherman House he slipped and fell so severely that he sprained his side, and was confined to his bed in the Tremont House during the remainder of the even, ing, and for several days following. It Is thought that at the coming banquet Mr. Bryan will declare himself on the future of the party. Dally Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.

OF Proclamation Appointing; Hin "Will Be Issued When" the Field Marshal Fixes His Date of Retnra. NEW YORK. Nov., 26.-Accordlng to the London correspondent of the Tribune, a proclamation has already been printed appointing Lord Kitchener to the com-mandershlp-in-chief of the British forces in South Africa, In succession to Lord Roberts, but owing to the postponement of the departure of the Field Marshal for home. It has not yet been made pub lic The proclamation will be issued im mediately after Lord Roberts can fix a definite date for his return. It is expected that he will relinquish the command about December 20, and In the event of Lord Methuen not coming back until the operations are finished, it Is said that Lord Kitchener will receive the temporary rank of General In addi tion, to the substantive one of Lleutenant General. If a statement that the Treasury ob jects to a request by Lord Roberts for 20,000 more troops on the ground of ex pense should be verified, there will be a howl of Indignation from all parts of the country. The average Englishman has the utmost faith In Lord Roberts, and would prefer to have his wishes carried out, no matter what the cost might be. British veterans In comfortable corners of military clubB In London consider that the war has been over for some time, but that the truth has not been recognized by Lord Roberts, who continues to Issue long bulletins day after day, which are posted in the War Office, and transferred to the newspapers. Some of the most astute officers in London state that his policy will be abandoned as soon as Gen eral Kitchener succeeds to the command. There will be a proclamation affirmlnc that the Dutch territories are completely occupied and at peace, and there will be a suspension of the dally bulletins from headquarters recording petty skirmishes and Insignificant acts of brigandage, which cannot be classed as Incidents of real warfare. Suoh police work as remains will pass without observation, and the Boers them selves will be convinced that the war is at an end when they perceive that there la no longer any notice taken of .what goes on there.

Treatment and Medicines Included;the Limit of Expense Allowed by Dr. Copeland. .;- STEER CLEAR. Steer clear of the boodler In medical practice. Do not stand in awe of the doctor who feels your pulse and then shakes his head to frighten you over your condition and make You pay 10 times over what his services are worth. The medi cal profession, like every other profession, has its pretenders, its mountebanks, its merciless Impostors. The nominal assess ment system In vogue at the Copeland In stitute is the Invalid's protection from the wolf and the boodler In medicine. Five dollars a month, medicines included, for the most effective treatment known. PROTECT THE WEAK The fame of the Copeland medical sys tem Is based on the two-fold service It ha3 rendered to society. First, in the evolution of more enlight ened methods of disease treatment, It has added chronic catarrh, deafness, epidemic la grippe, asthma, bronchitis, kidney trouble and incipient consumption to the medical list of curable Infirmities, while in less virulent ail ments it has perceptibly re duced the peri od of profes sional attention Ends the Norucrue of Li'e!ong Doctoring. requisite to their cure. It has ended the nonsense of life-long doctoring for dis eases that promptly yield to correct diag nosis, followed by correct treatment. Second, the Copeland system has given the public Its first great lesson in medical economy. By limiting the expense outlay of patients to $5 a month, medicines In cluded, until cured (and no patient is ever permitted to pay more). It has bared the public eye of the devilish iniquity and crime of bleeding the unfortunate sick with preposterous fees. And, while exposing the boodler in med icine to the angry suspicion of the world, it saves the Invalid from becoming their prey, because. If there Is no statute law preventing a dishonest doctor from charg ing a dishonest fee, neither Is there law or necessity for the sufferer, with the Cope land system before him, to become a dupe and pay the fee. He don't have to. CONSULTATION THE COPELAND MEDICAL THE W, H. COPELAND, M. D. J. H. MONTGOMERY, M. D, SPECIAL EXCITED OVER AMERICA BRITISH DON'T WANT VS- TO SOUTH AFRICAN TJt&DE. GET Even Contracts for Coloninl and Mu- nlclpal Governments Come to This Country. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. The editor of the British and 'South African Export Gazette has been stirring up the British and South African public on the fact that American manufacturers are making rapid headway In the markets of Africa. In a letter to the leading publications In London and republished In the British and South African Export Gazette of No. vember, 1900, Just received by the Treas ury Bureau of Statistics, he says: "For tho information of your readers, I append herewith a lengthy list of some orders lately executed, or now being ex ecuted In America" for Cape Colony. My data may not be exact as to quantities. etc., but the fact remains that such orders have been or are In process of being ex ecuted: "In December, 1897, American makers had In hand orders for 60 saloon carriages for the equipment of the eastern section of tho Cape Government Railway, and In that month six 50-ton locomotives were delivered at the Cape Government rail way works from the Baldwin Works of Messrs. Burnham, Williams & Co., Phil adelphia. "In March, 1896, six Improved Pullman cars were landed at Cape Town for the Cape Government Railway. "In July, 1900, several Baldwin locomo tives were delivered at Cape Town In part completion of Capo Government con. tracts. In that month, according to the general manager of the Cape Government Railway, there were still 39 engines and about 160,000 sterling worth of trucks and other rolling stock on order In Eng land and America. Four engines built by Messrs. Dickson & Co., Philadelphia, for the Selatl Railway, have been acquired by the Cape Government, and are now running on the Wynberg branch. "In September, 1900, the Union Switch & Signal Company, of Pittsburg, U. S.

I "I do not altogether blame the Cape Colony for thus diverting a large share of Its orders to other countries, for it is notorious, as Sir Walter Peace has re marked, that, as time la now the essence of the contract, British engineering firms have been and are unable to accept them, the work already In hand being more than they can overtake. Price, too, Is an Important factor, and especially Is tnis so with railway material, locomotives and trucks, which cost considerably less In the United States than in the United Kingdom. It Is, however, Impossible to overlook the fact that many 'Important orders have gone to America from the Capo that could have been placed In this country had efforts been made to this end; and, rightly or wrongly, a suspicion exists In the minds of manufacturers that Is entirely due to the antl-Brltlsh ten dencies of some of the Cape's officials. Whatever the reason, the empire at large will agree that It Is disgraceful that other countries should receive the advantage of the unparalleled sacrifices we have made In the Boer war; and wlille admitting that governments, like individuals, must be guided by business prudence, It will certainly be lamentable If every effort be not strained to check the tendency to favor the foreign manufacturer at the expense of his British competitors. "There is one way whereby the tender system leads to the diversion of orders to America, even despite the good Inten tions of the colonial governments. This Is In case where no stipulations are In serted In the contracts that the material employed shall be ordered of British man ufacturers. Quite recently an order for rails for a Natal municipality found its way to the Lorain Steel Company, Johns town. Pa., In this way, wholly. It is per missible to believe, against the Intentions of the municipal authorities, and possi bly against the Intentions of the contrac tors, who had probably based their esti mate on the lower American cost."
