HAZING INVESTIGATION.
Recommendations of the Congres
sional Committee.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. The Congres
sional committee which Is Investigating
the hazing of Cadet Booz held Its first
session today since completing the taking
of testimony at West Point. Informal
discussion disclosed that the members
were In substantial agreement, on the fol
lowing regulations: Expulsion from the
military academy for sending or accepting
a challenge; exclusion from subsequent
appointment to the Army of any one dis
missed from the academy on account of
hazing or fighting; more officers to give
greater supervision to cadets ant closer
relations between these officers and the
cadets.
It is said that the evidence discloses
that dismissals from the e.cademy are
often followed by Army appointments,
based upon the strong recommendations
of members of Congress, and the Inten
tion of the committee Is to make the dis
missal a lasting barrier to Army service.
Further testimony will be taken tomor
row If the witnesses can be brought here
In time. They Include Cadet Cunningham,
who was the tent-mate of Cadet MacAr
thur, 6on of General MacArthur, at the
time young MacArthur was hazed, and an
ex-upper class cadet, now living In New
Jersey, to whom Booz Is said to have been
a "serving man" during the alleged period
of hazing.

DES .MOINES. la., Jan. 22. President
MacLeiin, of the State University, today
suspended 10 students of the sophomore

Stiles, of the freshman class, on the
street, hustled him Into a hack and drove
him 10 miles Into the country, where he
was locked In a farmhouse and kept there
for two days.
THE SMELTER TRUST.
Pronertles That Will "Join
ihc
American Company.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. The properties to
be acquired by the American Smelting &
Refining Company, according to a circu
lar sent out to the stockholders as a re
sult of the proposed Increase of the capi
tal stock of the company to $100,000,000.
are as follows:
At Perth Amboy, N. J., smelting and
refining and electrolytic copper plants; at
Pueblo, Colo., smelting and refining and
copper reduction plants; at Aguas Calt
entes, Mexico, smelting and refining and
copper reduction plants; at Monterey,
Mex., a smelting plant; In South Ameri
ca, mining and smelting interests; also
valuable leases and contracts running a
term .of 10 years, in the United States
and South America. These Include the
refining and smelting plants, appurtenant
properties and business of the Guggen
helms. It Is understood that the total cash (or
working capital) payment to be made by
the Guggenhelms is nearly $15,000,000, mak
ing the cash resources of the American
company after consolidation about $25,000,
000. This will probably obviate the neces
sity of borrowing money to handle the
company's large business.
Allowing 100 for the preferred stock of
the American Smelting & Refining Com
pany, and 60 for the common, the $22,600,
000 preferred and $22,000,000 common which
the Guggenhelms are to receive would
be worth In round figures $35,000,000.
Against this the Guggenhelms are to pay
$6,066,666 66 in cash, and roughly about
$9,000,000 more in cash or working capi
tal. This would allow about $20,000,000
for the Guggenheim plants, good will, etc.
CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
Reported to the Constitutional Con
vention at Havana.

mittee of the Cuban constitutional con

sitions regarding the future relations be

up as eoon as the constitution is com
pleted. The Billboard Nuisance.
CHICAGO. Jan. 22. The agitation in
Chicago against the billboard nuisance
has resulted In the passage by the City
Council of an ordinance providing that all
signboards and billboards more than three
feet square now within 200 feet of any
park, park boulevard or driveway, be de
clared a public nuisance and torn down,
and that such boards be prohibited in the
future. The owners are given 30 days In
which to pull down their signs. The pen
alty Is a fine of $100 for the first offense,
and for each succeeding offense tha same
fine and three months' imprisonment. An
effort was made to suppress unsightly
billboards throughout the city, but the
Council majority would not agree to the
more sweeping measure.

EASTERN SENATORS LEARX SOME
THING ABOUT THE COLUMBIA.
Simon's Plea for Improvement of the
River at The Dalles and Celilo
McBrlde Asked to Assist.
WASHINGiON, Jan. 22.-Senator Simon
appeared before the commerce committee
today and made a strong plea for the Im
provement of the Columbia at The Dalles
and Celilo. He urged first the abandon,
ment of the repeal of the boat railway
appropriation, and, secondly, the adoption
of a new project and the converting of
the available balance towards such a
work. While he would accept any form of
improvement that could be had, he pre
ferred the canal and locks recommended
by captain Harts. The Senator's exposi
tion of the many benefits that would come
from the opening of the river at this
point, his showing of the vast commerce
to be bencted and the extent to which
the great river was already navigable
was a revelation to the members of the
committee, who were amazed at the truth
and admitted that they never before fully
understood the importance of this Im
provement or of the Columbia River,
which Senator Simon insisted was the
greatest river In the United States.
From the reception accorded him he
hopes for at least partial success, and has
wired Senator McBrlde to assist him by
telegraph. Senator Turner, a member of
tne committee, is working earnestly for
the Columbia River, and Senator Simon
has interested several other members by
private argument and explanations.
The Senate committee increased to $6000
the appropriation for a new brick laundry
at Salem Inc&an School. For Puyanup,
$71,600 Is aiiowed in an amendment se
cured by Senator Foster increasing the
school's capacity from 200 to 300, and en
larging tne school buildings to correspond.
The agent at Lemhi is restored at $1200.
THE INDIAN BILL.
Senate Committee Recommends an
Incrcnse of Appropriation.
wASHiOTON, Jan, 22. The Senate
committee on Indian affairs today made
Its report on the Indian bill. The com
mittee recommends the Increase of the
total appropriation to the extent of $875,
000 making a total of $9,870,526. The prin
cipal items of Increase are:
Dawes Commission $300,000
Survey and preliminary work for
dam across Gila River at San
Carlos reservation 100,000
Capitalizing annuities of Chicka
saw, Choctaws, Shawnees, East
ern Shawnees and Six Nationsi.... 243,000
In its report the committee says:
'"the question of capitalization of the
annuities of the Indian tribes is a mat
ter that baa been considered for some
time, not only by the committee, but by
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs as well,
and, believing that such a departure
should be Inaugurated as will definitely
fix the amount due each tribe under the
provisions of treaties providing for an
nuities, your committee has thought It
best to capitalize the annuities due to the
tribes of Indians designated in the bill."
There are several amendments affecting
Indian schools and of these the report
says:
"Your committee believes that the In
dian schools of the country should bo
made .as efficient as possible, and that
where additional facilities are needed, the
Department of the Interior should be en
abled to provide them, and your commit
tee has acted on that idea In providing
funds for that purpose."
The dam acrc-ss the Gila is expected
not only to supply the Indians of San
Carlos reservation, of whom there- are
about 4000, blit to furnish water for thi
Irrigation of much valuable land outside
the Indian reservation. It Is considered
essential to the support of the Indians.
The committee not only appropriated
$300,000, not heretofore appropriated for
the use of the Dawes commission, but
reapproprlated $325,000, hitherto appropri
ated and . not used. It Is believed that
the amount will be sufficient to enable the
committee to complete Its work. Tho
bill provides for two additional Indian
Inspectors, to Investigate and report upon
the condition of Indians upon reserva
tions; their degree of civilization, the ad
visability of reducing the size of their
reservations, the propriety of commuting
their annuities and to negotiate with In
dians residing upon reservations for a
reduction of the area of tho same or a
sale of the lands not allotted, or for com
muting their annual payments into a
gross cash payment and to report upon
the character of the reservations, the area
used by the Indians and the areas needed
(or their use, whether the reservation is
composed of mineral or agricultural lands
and the area of mineral lands.
Another amendment requires that In
dian agency farmers shall be appointed
from the state or territory where they are
to be employed, and they are to be sub
jected, only to such examination as the
Secretary of the Interior may prescribe.
This removes them from the civil service
list. The amendments allowing prospect
ing on Indian reservations is as follows:
i h Secretary of the Interior may, in
his discretion, permit miners to enter
upon Indian reservations to prospect and
mine for gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper
and coal under such rules and regulations
not in conflict with the laws of the United
States as he may from time to time pre
scribe, upon payment to the United
States for the benefit of Indians of all
damages which the Indians may sustain
from the operations of the miners; pro
vided that no permit shall be granted
to enter or mine on reservations where
the Indians have title without their con
sent, provided, further, that the tide to
the mineral lands on Indian reservations
shall remain In tJhe United States."
Limitation of Suffrage.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. The Olmstead
resolution, proposing a limitation of suf
frage in case of disfranchisement of vot
ers, was taken up by the House commit
tee on census today. The proposition was
discussed generally, and a resolution
adopted to ask the Director of Census for
a statement upon the male population,
black and white, above voting age In the
various states, and the extent of illiteracy
and disability in each class. Action will
be deferred until this information is In
hand.
War Tax Redaction.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The Senate
committee on finance was in session to
day, but did not complete Its work upon
the war tax reduction Dill. Chairman
Aldrlch said he hoped to be able to report
the bill soon.
Conference on the Army Bill.
WASHINGTON. 'Jan. 22. The conferees
upon the Army reorganization bill began
their efforts to reach a conclusion today.
The Senate made 103 amendments, but as
most of these are of very little Import
ance, the House conferees accepted a
large proportion of them.
Concession to American Lenjrue.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 22. The most Impor
tant concession given the new American
Association by the National League was
a modification of the National agree
ment In the matter of drafting players.
Under the new arrangement the owner
of each club In the American Associa
tion has the right to reserve at the end
of each year any five players on his team
he may see fit to keep. This concession
will practically do away with drafting,
as the association can under It hold its
star players, and It is only stars the
league Is after.
All the terms of the agreement entered
Into by the big league and the new as
sociation are to run for one year, with
the privilege of renewal. This was done
to conform with the 10-year agreement of"
the league clubs, which expires at the
end of this year.
The association will probably holds Its
next meeting In Detroit, shortly after the
league's schedule meeting in February.
The price to be paid the 'National
League for grounds, stands, leases, fences
and players by the association was not
made public. Nobody dreams for a mo
ment that these privileges are granted
the association for nothing.
It Is understood that 90 players are to
be turned over to the association by the
league, providing the American club
owners are not so rude as to sign soma
of them.
THE QUEEN IS DEAD.
(Continued from First Page.)
and Osborne House has been a complaint
of long standing in the metropolis, and it
is hoped that the new reign will see a
change In this respect. The presence of
the court in London would give a bright
ness and gaiety which have long been
absent.
Not until Queen Victoria has been laid
to rest beside the Prince Consort at Frog
more will the theaters or music-halls re
open. Moreover, business will come to a
practical standstill. The music In all the
halls and public places has ceased. Fash
lonable resorts were empty, and very few
of the nightly habitues were In evidence.
The St. James, Princess and other promi
nent restaurants have already discarded
all colors for somber black.
Americans who have passed through
great national calamities may remember
the crepe-covered building, but they can
111 conceive since the death of Lincoln
any such expression of gloom as has al
ready fallen upon the United Kingdom.
Marlborough House, so long the home of
the new monarch; Buckingham Palace,
where. Queen Victoria made her last stay
In London, and St. James' Palace, the resi
dence of so many former monarchs, were
all black and deserted. Sentries In black
overcoats kept silent vigil before the
clpsed gates and bolted doors. The popula
tion, therefore, slowly dispersed as the
night wore on.
Shortly before midnight an official an
nouncement was issued calling Parliament
to meet at 4 o'clock tomorrow (Wednes
day) afternoon to enable members of the
House of Lords and Commons to lake
the oath of allegiance to King Edward
VII. .
Telegrams pouring In from all parts of
the continent re-echo the deep feeling of
sorrow pervading all classes. These show
that everywhere bells have been tolled and
public performances and private functions
suspended. In Dublin the expressions of
regret were universal. The bells of St.
Patrick's Cathedral were tolled. Earl
Cadogan, the Lord Lieutenant, was absent
from Dublin yesterday, b'ut It Is expected
he will return Immediately to preside at
a meeting of the Irish Privy Council to
proclaim the new King.
The Privy Council will meet in London
tomorrow, and the proclamation of King
will occur thereafter at all places required
by custom. The King will come to Lon
don to preside over the Council.
The Prince of Wnles' Message.
The Telegram from the Prince of Wales
to the Lord Mayor follows:
"Osborne, 6:45 P. M. My beloved mother
has just passed away, surrounded by her
children and grandchildren."
The Lord Mayor replied to the Prince
of Wales as follows:
"Your Imperial Highness' telegram an
nouncing the nation's great loss I have
received with profound distress and grief,
and have communicated this most sad In
timation to my fellow-citizens. Her Maj
esty's name and memory will forever live
in tho hearts of her people."
A scrap of paper a foot square, posted
on the wall of the Mansion House at 6:58
o'clock tonight gave tho first notice to
London's homeward-hurrying thousands
of the death of the Empress-Queen and
the advent of a King. Access to the
bulletin was difficult by reason of the fact
that excavations had 'been made in tho
course of improving tho street. But the
bared heads of a silent group under a
flickering gas jet told the crowd on the
'bus tops and sidewalks that the Queen
was no more. A quarter of an hour later
more than 1CV) newsboys had Invaded the
street with black-ruled newspapers, cry
ing: "Death of tho Queen," while through
the dark streets boomed the deep-toned
notes of the big bell of St. Paul's Cathe
dral and the bells of the city churches re
echoing the, news.
The news of the Queen's death reached
all the towns In tho kingdom a few min
ute nftor it had been received by the
.Lord Mayor of London, and was quickly
spread throughout the country aistncis oy
the tolling of bells.
Prince and Princess Louis of Battenburg
arrived at Osborne just too late to see 4
Her-Majesty alive.
Proclaiming the New King.
At the office of the Lord Chamberlain, at
St. James' Palace, the City Remembrancer
at the Guild Hall and at the College of
Heralds, the officials were busy even be
fore the death of the Queen was 'an
nounced preparing for the formalities
which will attend the proclaiming of a
new ruler of the United Kingdom and In
dia. All the ancient gazettes, court circu
lars and other papers which describe the
ceremonial of 1837 had been taken from the
libraries that the officials might famil
iarize themselves with the forms of pa
gentry whereby a sovereign is proclaimed.
The City Remembrancer said today:
"It will depend on the pleasure of the
new monarch to decide how far tho
ancient customs will be modified to suit
modern methods, but in a country where
precedents are so firmly adhered to as in
Rnrland it may bo anticipated that we
shall follow closely- on the acts which
prevailed when the Queen ascended the
throne. The Privy Council, which Is a
very large body, will meet at once at St.
.Ta-mPR' Palace, where tne form of procla
mation declaring that 'we, etc., 'with
one voice and consent of tongue and heart
declare and proclaim the nigh, migmy
Prince Albert Edward, etc., 'who, by the
death of the monarch, has become our
only lawful and rightful liege,' will be
read. The proclamation will then be sent
to the Heralds' College, and Ihe following
day the Earl Marshal, the Garter Klng-at-Arms,
the Heralds and other officials, the
college members, with the household
troops, will proceed from the palace, clad
In their splendid surcoats and pVoceed to
Trafalgar Square. There the Klng-at-Arnis
will halt, command silence and read
the proclamation. Proceeding down the
Strand to the Temple Bar, a halt will
again be made to demand an entrance into
the city to proclaim the King. There the
Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, In their state
carriages, will form a great procession
and when the Earl Marshal's party comes
just within the city boundary, the procla
mation will be read again and the pro
ppssdon will Da"8s down Ludgate Hill and
Cheapside to the Royal Exchange, where j
similar ceremonies mu ciose tne speuiu-
Thls evening there were few visible slgns
In London that anything unusual had
happened. A drizzling rain kept most peo
ple within .doors. Those who were turned
away from theaters or music-halls wan
dered along the strets of the West End
without special object. No large crowds
gathered anywhere. The shops closed as
soon as the bells began to toll, and the
blinds of the Mansion House were drawn
down as soon as the message from the
Prince of Wales was received by the
Lord Mayor. The bell rung In St. Paul's
Cathedral was the gift of William HI,
and Is used only on the occasions of the
death of royal personages. Archbishops of
Canterbury, Lord Mayors of London and
Bishops of London. The tolling continued
for two hours today at Intervals of a
minute, and could be heard for miles In
the direction of the wind.

There were no votes to spare, a two
thirds vote, being needed and the voting
standing 38 to 19. In the debate prior to
ratification,' a number of Senators man
ifested a disposition to oppose further
acquisition of. Oriental territory. Senators
Lodge and Chandler spoke In behalf of tho
treaty and Senators Bacon, Money and
Pettlgrew in opposition. Senator Lodge,
speaking for the committee on foreign
relations, said that the treaty was made
necessary by the failure to Include tho
Islands of Sibutu and Cagayan In the
Oriental negotiations by which we ac
quired the Philippines, and that it was
necessary to acquire them to prevent Ger
many's getting possession of them. Their
acquisition by any foreign power, he said,
would 'be an akward circumstance for
the United States, and should be pre
vented before it was; too late. The op
position Senators replied that the land
was worthless to the United States, and
added that there was not a harbor on the
coast of any of them, and there could be
no object In any other country taking
them. They also charged that as the
Island are In the Sulu group, their popula
tion is polygamous, and also that slavery
exists In the Islands. Senator Pettlgrew
said the new acquisitions were nearer
the Island of Borneo than to any 6f the
other Islands of the Pacific group, and
he argued that If we are to puchase Caga
yan and Sibutu for the defense of our ex
isting possessions, we might soon expect
to hear of the necessity of purchasing Bor
neo for the protection of Cagayan and
Sibutu
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
Administered to 1000 Filipinos in
Northern ilnzon.
MANILA, Jan. 22. The disallowance by
the Military Board of the claims of Hol
man & Company, merchants of Ho Ho,
for damage and destruction of property
during the period of appeasement, which
findings have been approved by General
MacArthur, establishes a precedent
against recompensing for similar property
losses In the territory in which the war
operations were conducted. Some claims,
notably that of the Manila & Dagupan
Railroad, which are now before the Board,
will probably go to the Court of Claims
at Washington, and possibly eventually
to Congress.
The oath of allegiance has been admin
istered In a church at Vlgan to over 1000
persons, who acknowledged they had con
tributed to the insurgent cause. Captain
Fitzgerald addressed the natives in Span
ish. The parish priest translated his re
marks Into Ilocano, and administered the
oath. About 400 persons in the vicinity of
Malabon. assembled In the church and
on the plaza, have also taken the oath.
General Grant has made many captures
and arrests. At present he Is on a. scout
ing expedition with over 50 men. Those
who are proved to be Insurgents are held.
Battery I, of the Third Artillery, has
captured 50 armed men at Muntinupa.
Varlous other minor captures and sur
renders have been made in Southern Lu
zon. The Eleventh Cavalry has arrived here
on the transport Meads from Camarlnes.
They will sail for home on the same ship
February 1, as the Thirty-sixth Infantry.
The men who are to sail Saturday were
reviewed and addressed this evening by
General MacArthur. He thanked the sol
diers enthusiastically for the part they
had ably borne In the history making
epoch in the Philippines. He said they
had sustained the tradition of a hardy and
soldierly race, and merited the plaudits
of their countrymen on their return home.
Speaking of the various advantages of
such occasions, General MacArthur said:
"The chief advantage is the engender
ing of a warlike spirit, without which
no nation can continue to live, and by
which alone a nation is created and made
perpetual."
The Twenty-seventh Regiment will sail
February 5, and the Thirteenth Febru
ary 15.
Attorney-General Torres and others to
day addressed the Philippine Commission
on the municipal government bill, chiefly
in relation to the requirements of official
bonds.
GREAT PROGRESS SHOWN'.
Reports From the Philippines Are
Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON,. Jan. 22. At the Cabi
net meeting today, which lasted about an
hour, Secretary Root read extracts from
reports which he had recently received
from Government officials as to the situa
tion in the Philippines. These reports
make careful comparisons with the con
ditions which prevailed one year ago and
are said to show that very great progress
has been made in all directions. It is un
derstood that Secretary Root will prepare
a resume of these reports for transmis
sion to Congress.
Among other things, Secretary Root
had the first report of the staff of the
Philippine Commission, which reported
progress at many points. Secretary Root
seemed to think that the conditions are
decidedly Improved in the Philippines,
and that the prospects for a speedy
settlement of existing troubles are bright.
Secretary Hay spoke of the inquiries
which he had received from foreign gov
ernments as to the status of the com
mercial treaties now pending in the Sen
ate bejween those governments and the
United States.

To Prove What SWAMP-ROOT, Will Do for YOU,
Every Reader of The Oregonlan May Have

Free by Mail.
Among the many famous cures of
Swamp-Root Investigated by The Orego

wonderful curative properties of this great
kidney remedy than the one wo publish
this week for the benefit of our readers.
"Tou have no Idea how well I feel. I am
satisfied that I do not need any more medicine,
as I am In as good health as I ever was In my
life." So says Mrs. Mary Engelhard t. of 2835
Madison street. St. Louis, Mo., to a reporter of
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"For more than ten years I had suffered with
what the doctors termed female trouble; also
heart trouble, with swelling of the feet and
limbs. Lost Summer I felt so badly that I
thought I had not long to live. I consulted
doctor after doctor and took their medicines,
but felt no better. The physicians told me my
kidneys were not affected, and while I
Did riot Know I Had
Kidney Trouble,
I somehow felt certain my kidneys, were tho
cause of my trouble. A friend recommended
me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and I
must say I derived Immense benefit almost
from the first week. I continued the medi
cine, taking it regularly, and I am now In
splendid health. The pains and aches have all
gone. I have recommended Swamp-Root to all
my friends and told them what It has done
for me. 1 -will gladly answer any one who de
sires to write me regarding my case. I most
heartily Indorse Swamp-Root from every stand
point. There is such a pleasant taste to
Swamp-Root, and It goes right to tho weak
spots and drives them -out of the system."

How to Find Out
If You Need
Swamp - Root.
Is their work. So when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand
how quickly your entire body Is affected, and how every organ seems to fall to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all
the other organs to health. A trial will convince any one.
Many women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease Is not cor
rectly understood. They are led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness
of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma
tism, a dragging pain or dull ache In the back, weakness or bearing down sensation,
profuse or scanty supply of urine, with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it night
or day, with scalding or burning sensation these are all unmistakable signs of
kidney and bladder trouble.
If there Is any doubt In your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on
rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let It stand twenty-four
hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy. If there is a brick-dust settling, or
If small particles float about In it, your kidneys are In need of immediate atten
tion. Other symptoms showing that you need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, dizzi
ness, Irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, plenty of ambi
tion but no strength.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and Is used in the leading hospitals, recom
mended by physicians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves,
because they recognize In It the greatest and most successful remedy that science
has ever been able to compound.
If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can pur
chase the regular flf ty-cent and one-dollar bottles at the drug stores everywhere.

William Kent, another speaker, cited
many Instances of the evir effect of po

chiefly to political conditions, the police
