"Yes. it Is true that there exist to-day forty-nine vacant cadetships at West Point," said Adjutant General Corbin to-day. and he showed irritation at bein riuostior.ed concerning thi3 large number ef unfilled appointments to positions which hundreds of the youth of the lund would lx only too glad to conteat for despite the possible ordeal of hazing, ineludinir the consumption of unusual Quantities of tabasco sauce. However, Gen. Corbin explained that the forty-nine vacancies exist because senators and repreFnt;itives, to whom these places are asngncd for the naming of candidates, have bun unable or unwilling to semi the names of tho-oc they wanted appointed to th War Department. He declined to specify liny of these derelict statesmen. It is believed that no cadet vacancies exist in Inciiana, "I will not give you the names of congressmen who have West Point nominations yet to make. H would b unfair to them, and it m i h t tie construed ;i a criiicism on my part, if I named them, because they have been unable to make their soleetiens sooner. Anyway, there is plenty of time in which to make thr-m left, as the annual examinations lo not berin until Junj 1 next, by which date doubtless all vaCAr.eies will be tilled by recommendations f a principal and alternate." Ju.-t the same, the oihcials of the War 3"fpartipent are much disturbed by the delay on tho part of some senators and repref ntati es in naming their candidates for these caJetships. eir Cnvnlry Iteulment". WASHINGTON, April r. An order was !sued by the War lepartmnt to-day directing that the live new cavalry regiments (except the Fifteenth Cavalry, under orders to the Philippines) be organized on a basis of elffhty men per troop. Under the elastic provisions of the army reorganization act a troop of cavalry may cunsist ot jrom sixty-five to one hundred men. The War Department, after a full consideration of the subject, has concluded that a strength of eighty men per troop will meet ail military requirements. No change has lwx-n made In the organization of the regiments in the Philippines, ami none is contemplated for the present. The Fifteenth Cavalry, which is one ef the new reuiments ordered to the Philippines, will have the maximum strength of one hundred men per MILLINERY SHOW WEATHER.

CARTER'S STOLEN MONEY i.mti:d status Govi:nii:vr will. itncovnii ALL LOANS. Amount Taken by the nUhonct Army Olli err Whm 7U-',r.oo. ami It Has All lleen Traced. Nt:W YORK, April 6. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: "Important developments in the Oberlin M. Carter case are likely to occur within a few days. Carter is now serving a sentence of live years imprisonment in the government penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., charged with gigantic swindling operations against the government. Up to the time he was convic ted Carter was under the jurisdiction of and was prosecuted by the War De partment. Since then the civil authorities , of the government, acting through the Department ef Justice, have been quietly, but vigorously and relentlessly, tracing step by stcp the moaey Carter stole and now have the great bulk of it located, and are about ready to recover it and turn it back into the treasury. The Department of Justice has discovered that Carter's profits from th: shrewd swindling scheme which he worked successfully for so long a time were JT.'.'A'O. The government detectives, who for three years have been on the cx-army officer's trail, have located nearly every cent of this money and as soon as certain unimportant details arc completed the legal steps necessary to recover it will be taken by the Department of Justice. Attachments will be sworn out by the United States district attorneys in New York city, in Savannah, and at other places where Carter invested the money and it is not impossible that as a result of these proceedings the arrest of two or three well known men, charged with knowingly taking part in protecting Carter's stealings, will follow. It has been learned that Carter invested the money In gilt-edged securities and real estate around Aew ork. All of these securities, as well as the real estate, have been located, and the government will swoop down on them as soon as the attachments are obtained." 3Iore Arrests I'robahlc. Special to thf Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, April C It was said at the Department of Justice to-day that at least four prominent business men of New York, Philadelphia and Savannah would be arrested next week on charges growing out of the frauds in the prosecution of the harbor improvements at Savannah while they were under the control of Captain Carter. Three f the contractors engaged on that work, all residents of New York, and one of them, John F. Gaynor, long treasurer of the New York State Democratic committee, are under indictment at Savannah, but all attempts to secure their extradition and trial there have failed. It is believed the contemplated move by the Department of Justice means tho matter will be taken away from the Georgia authorities and that the government will proceed directly against them. I.IARIHE HAPPENINGS. The steamer Chester W. Chapin was floattd early yesterday. The vessel, while bound from Providence, 11. I., for New York, rats ashore on Patience island;' twelve miles below Providence, during u dense fog Wednesday night. In view of the present disposition of the Navy Department to reduce, rather than strengthen, its naval reputation on the Asiatic station, it is probable the recent purpose of sending the battleship Wisconsin to the Philippines to take the place of the battleship Oregon will be abandoned. The Husslan steamship company Njednia, engaged In the Caspian trade, has acquired a controlling interest in the Persian ami general Insurance business and wall conduct transportation via the Volga and Caspian sea and overland in Persia. The concession gives the company a sixtylive -year monopoly. The company is apparently backed by the government In order to develop Ilusso-Persian commerce. The arrangement does not contain the slightest reference to the Persian customs. A steamer was dispatched from St. Johns, Newfoundland, last evening to bring home the crew of the sealing steamer Hope, now helpless on P.ryon island, in the gulf of St. Lawrence. The Hope had a remarkable carter. She was built by Captain Gray, a Peterhead whaling master, and made many Arctic trips. She rescued the expedition of P. Leigh Smith in his yatcht Fira, went on three cruises with Lieutenant Peary and brought back his Cape Y'ork meteorite, the largest in the world, and now in New York. The Allan line steamer Buenos Ayres, from Philadelphia. Marcli 1!, for Glasgow, about whose safety some apprehension was felt, has arrived at Glasgow. She reports that she was fogbound outside of Philadelphia ami remained anchored two days. Subsequently the weather was very rough and the ship was swept from stem to st rn by heavy seas, which smashed her deckhouse and carried away a lifeboat. Her coal became exhausted and her furnace were fed with maize, cattle fittings, etc. There was never any fear felt by those on board regarding the safety of the ship. 31 o vein ent of Steam em.

Pennsylvania Company' Projected Hartford City Improvement. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., April . The Pennsylvania Railroad will elevate its track through Hartford City during the coming summer. At a special meeting of the Council held last night the long-standing differences between the city and the company were adjusted, and the way made plain for the Improvement. The company always has objected to the opening of new streets across its right of way. When the city wished to extend Water street across the railroad the company built a $10,000 station on the line of the proposed street. It resisted street-improvement assessments and the carrying of sewers beneath the tracks The company now wants to raise the track through the main section of the city and establish overhead crossings, and askod the city to pay the cost of lowering . v. .-tr-m o mirb Tipppcsnrv bv the improvement. The City Council would not listen to It and has refused to come to an agreement on these terms. Last night a special train was run from Logansport, wnicn brought to Hartford City many of the officials of the company, who appeared before the Council. At a late hour an agreement was reached, the officials yielding to all the demands of the City Council, ork will begin soon on one of the most expensive improvements ever attempted ny the company on this division in the way of track elevation. The work will begin just east of the station and extend over a mile east. Several hundred men will be put to work and a string of arc lights will be plaeel above the track, so that worK will be possible day and nisht. The improvement is estimate d to cost $2.7,0ö0. .

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 6. The death of Milton Crow, while drunk4 at the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing In Monroeville, Sunday night, has aroused the anti-saloon sentiment of that little town to a fever heat. The minister officiating at the burial scored leading citizens who, for expedient reasons, refused to sign remonstrances against saloons, and the father of the dead youth warned the saloon men that he would prosecute them tor every violation of the law. As a result it is believed the town will become "dry" in a short time, as every application for license will be confronted with a majority remonstrance.

Sill, minister-resident and consul general of the United States to Korea from to 17, died at Grant Hospital to-day. For a year or more in fact, ever since his return from the Orient, when his health was shattered-Mr. Sill has been failing, and since Christmas has wasted away rapidly. John M. B. Silli who was born in Blackrock, N. Y.. in 1S31 and was minister to Korea during the Chino-Japanese war, and his legation was the refuge of many of the Korean court dignitaries after the sensational assassination of the Queen of that knigdom. He occupied a prominent position as an educator, having been superintendent of the Detroit schools snd principal of the State school at Ypsilantt. Ho was the author of two grammars, which are in wide use. He is survived by a widow and two children. Old John Jumper. FORT EAUDERDALE, Fli., April 6."Old John" Jumper is dead at his camp on Snoik creek. Jumper was one of Chief Jumper's sons, who reigned during some of Florida's darkest wars with his tribe. All the white citizens knew -him well, as he was for a number of years chief counsel for tho Seminolcs and was about eightylive years old. Ex-Premier Stolltoff. SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 6 E:c-rremier Stoiltoff Is dead after a short illness. POOL OF NATURAL OIL. Another Cireat Gusher in the Ilcnnmont Field Drilled In. BEAUMONT, Tex., April 6. Tho sixth gusher oil well has been added to the Beaumont field, and it is said to be the finest well yet struck. The well is 1,040 feet deep and shows a pressure of eighty pounds to the square inch, which is said to exceed the pressure in the Lucas gusher, 1.S00 feet away, and which has heretofore maintainel the record of being the greatest producer in the world. Tho oil pool where it was struck is only forty feet deep and is resting on a bed of sulphur. These facts were ascertained by the drillers. After the oil was struck the pipe was permitted to sink until it struck the bottom, and it rested after forty feet had gone down. The drillers then bored four feet into what they say is a bed of pure sulphur. In two of the other gushers sulphur was struck before the oil was reached. President Gilbert says that one day next week the valve will be opened to test the flow. STEAM AND TROLLEY LINES. The Toledo & Findlay Traction Company, of Findlay, O.. has been incorporated with a capital of l,50o,0j to build an electric railway from Toledo to Findlay. The incorporators are mostly Cincinnati men, including George, L. S. and G. B. Kerper and Henry Burkhold. The sale of Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad 5 per cent, preferred stock reached its record mark on the floor of the Cincinnati Stock Exchange Saturday, 109 Vi being bid. Round lots of stock were held at 111, and the price is the result of the rumored great railroad amalgamation in which it is believed the C, II. &. D. will play an Important part. The Toledo & Ohio Central Railway Company his filed with the county recorder at Wapakoneta a first mortgage or deed of trust given to the Morton Trust Company, of New York, as trustee, for $r0,000 on the Columbus and St. Mary's extension of the Detroit & Lima Northern, between Tecria and St. Mary's. This is also known as the Columbus & Northwestern Railroad. The Southern Ohio Traction Company, a Cleveland syndicate, has been granted right of way into Cincinnati. This is the first time such a privilege has been granted to other than Cincinnati people. The road connects Dayton. Hamilton and Cincinnati, and Is fifity-six miles in length. Until the concession just made was obtained the road touched Cincinnati, but had no means of entering the city. President and General Agent Yokum, of the St. Louis & San Francisco road, was asked yesterday as to the official make-up of the 'Frisco-Memphis system. He stated there had been no change, and, up to this time, no consolidation, and he was not advised as to what the owners of the properties would do or how they would be reorganized as to offices and officers if the Ines were consolidated. The Baltimore & Ohio Railway has begun building the forty-mile extension from Confluence through Somerset county, Pennsylvania, to Garrett countj-, Maryland, for the Droney Lumber Company, of Olean, N. Y., which is building a number of manufacturing plants at Unamis, a new town on the proposed lines. Two hundred houses will be built at once. The new line will open about 40,000 acres of coal land near Confluence. The attorney general of Ohio has filed a suit in the courts of Montgomery county to recover penalties aggregating $2.500 from the Southern Ohio Traction Company for failure to construct a crossing with a steam road at Trenton. Butler county, as ordered by the state railroad commissioner. The penalty fixed by law for such offenses is &xj per week. The real issue in the c'e is to determine whether the state railroad commissioner has jurisdiction over the mterurban electric railways, the same as steam railways. Plans of Andrew Carnegie to parallel the Pennsylvania railroad system and construct a trunk line to the seaboard have been ordered stopped by the United States Steel Corporation, which now controls the Carnegie Company. A number of surveyors have been working on the line for some time, and these men were all recalled and discharged. The road wa3 planned by Mr. Carnegie, and the Carnegie Company was to be used as an outlet for their extenive tonnage to the seaboard. The road was started within a few days after Mr. Carnegie alleged that he had been deceived by the Pennsylvania Railroad officials into announcing that he was satisfied with the 13-cent rate on manufactured ste&L Negotiations are said to have been completed whereby the Baltimore & Ohio will secure a direct connection with the East Liberty, Pa., stockyards for the shipment of live stock consignments to Pittsburg. Such a plan has been under way for some time, but on account of the Intervention of the Pennsylvania the Baltimore & Ohio has heretofore been excluded from ihe East Liberty stockyards, and thus deprived of a great deal of business. According to reports the agreement between the two companies has been perfected, and within a few clays arrangements will Lc completed which will allow the Baltimore & Ohio to ship stock direct to the PP.tsturgr yards over the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. In a day' or two the government will announce that it will receive bids for its claim against the Sioux City & Pacific Railroad, which amounts to something over J4.000.000 in principal and Interest, The act of June 6. 1900. designated the secretary of the treasury, the attorney general and the secretary of the Interior as a commission to dispose of the government's claim against this read, and an agreement has been reached to receive bids on June 9. 1011. at noon, in the office cf the solicitor of the treasury, the upset price being $1,S72.000. The government's claim Is subject to a first mortgage of $1.62S.0Oo. The terms of this sale are a deposit of $100.000 with each bid. to be forfeited if it Is not made good, the balance in cash, to be paid within twenty days.

position rates in Western territory. The row is over a different ial rate the Wabash is maintaining from Kansas City to Buffalo and New York. The Wabash is conceded to be the short line between those points and m;fkes quicker time by several hours than any of the other lines, the other lines feel that the Wabash, with the advantages it possesses, sould not be allowed to enjoy a lower rate than they have during the exposition and secure the great bulk of the business from Kansas City and the Southwest. All efforts made to induce the Wabash to change its position have failed, and as the road was not represented at yesterday's meeting, the conclusion was reached that it means light. The Wabash's competitors are now determined to meet whatever rates that road may make on account of the exposition, and notices to this effect will be served upon it in a few days by a part, if not all the lines. SENSATION SPOILED. Atlnutic Squadron Is Xot to De Sent to Veneaueinn Wnter. WASHINGTON, pril 6. It is pointed out at the Navy Department that the lengthy stay of the North Atlantic squadron at Culebra island, which, in view of the ruflled aspect of Venezuelan matters, has been the object of comment, is simply in accordance with Admiral Farquhar's revised schedule for the movements ol the squadron made public nearly a month ago. The new Itinerary allowed a monthfrom March 27 to April CG-in which to hold the important examinations of officers ot" the naval engineer corps, and the graduation class from the Naval Academy at Culebra Island. The only diversion so tar scheduled is a stop at Kingston. Jamaica, whence the squadron will sail north for Hampton Koada on the 26th inst. It was rumored yesterday that the Atlantic squadron was prepared to steam to Laguayra, overawe Venezuelans and demand reparation for injustice to Americans. The Washington dispatch disposes of the rumor. The Itabbit and Easter. Woman's Home Companion. There is a curious and very sweet little legend cherished by German children concerning the Kaster rabbit. Once upon a time, they tell us, a nice, kind rabbit, who was walking along a quiet woodland road, came across a tine, large nest tilled with eggs. The poor mother hen had been seized by a wicked fox and could not go back tr her darling nest, so this kind rabbit slept all night upon it, and when he awoke in the morning (it was Easter morning) the nest was full of little, downy, yellow chickens. The chickens thought the rabbit was their own mamma, so they cried out for something to eat, and the rabbit ran about and fetched food for them, and kept them warm and fed until they were all old enough to take care of themselves. Ever since then the rabbit has been the special genius of Easter time, and this holiday is not complete for German little folk wihout an "Ostcr Hase's nest." It holds many a favor and present, serving the same purpose that Christmas stockings and wooden shoes do at Christmas time. Fought with Machetes. SANTIAGO DE CUBA. April 6. Stench and buzzards revealed the oodies of two Cubans in the mountains sixteen miles from this city last night to a native coffee pack train, which arrived here this morning. The men had fought to the death with machetes and knives. One man had his hand on the other's throat; the other man had his knife in his opponent's breast. They were both terribly mutilated. The men were recognized as neighboring countrymen, who were returning nome from the city with mule loads of merchandise. The fatal quarrel occurred while they weie camped by the side of the trail. The Potomac Out of Its Ilanka. CUMBERLAND, Md., April 6. The Potomac river is beyond its banks for miles below here. The town of Williamsport is in great danger of being Inundated. The snow in the mountains is very heavy and a continuous rain all day has caused the water to rush in torrents down the ravines and mountain sides and unless the weather changes suddenly great destruction will be the rult. Navigation has lust begun on the Chesapeake & Ohio canal, and It is teared tnat tne high water may work great injury to tnat waterway. The Varing Mny Sail To-Day. NORFOLK, Va., April 6.

It is too much to claim perfection for any human being; to err is human, and all men are fallible. Benjamin Harrison was an exceptional example of a full-orbed man; his native endowments were of a very high order, including a vigorous constitution, a large brain, a strong will, and a sensitive conscience. His attainments were liberal and substantial, gathered from history, poetry, philosophy, and a study of men and things. His intuitions were keen, his logical processes severe and trustworthy, and his foresight well-nigh prophetic. His love of truth was a very prominent trait, and his power of expression phenomenal. Though profoundly serious and conscientious, he had a keen sense of humor, and was charmed with the beautiful in art and nature. Religion with him was synonymous with high thinking, generous feeling and right living. Statesmanship meant the embodiment in governments of the tried results of man's best thought on human rights and obligations; its supreme tests. Justice and liberty. He regarded politics as an honest endeavor to induce the majority to vote wisely; political parties, as an imperfect means for the attainment of the nobk.-t ends; and leadership, as responsibility. He was a masterful orator because h "was a good man who understood speaking." After a life well spent, he has passed beyond, leaving to us a striking example of an upright man of inherent nobility; a husband and father, affectionate, considerate, and faithful; a citizen, responsive to every call of duty; a soldier, brave, efficient, and free from vanity; a statesman, wise and practical; an executive, independent, selfreliant. Just, and far-sighted; -a Christian, devoted to God and charitable to all mankind. Loved by his friends, honored by hi country, respected by the world, he wears an imperishable crown and leaves to the race an indestructible heritage. 3Ianusers and Drawntlnta. London Leader. The fact is that the manager has no confidence that a "good" play would be a "successful" play. There is no reason whj' an unknown amateur should not write a good play, as he constantly writes a good novel. But the manager, like the newspaper editor, has his own views about what the public likes. It is an esoteric knowledge, founded neither on reason nor yet on human nature, halfinherited tradition, and half-acquired cynicism. The odds are all against an outsider's possessing this peculiar wisdom, that comes only to a man who has trembled behind the footlights, hoping for applause and fearing disapprobation. Accordingly, the manager comes to regard play-writing as a specialised art. Its object Is not so much to produce ,drama as to meet a certain demand. Like all artists who place the law of supply and demand first, the playwright ends by exaggerating the weaknesses and the limitations of his audience, and underrating their intelligence. The result is the conventional society drama of to-day. It is an artificial product, and only the few have the knack of turning it out. They have their reward. The public admits their skill, it tili their theaters, and yet somehow it looks wistfully over its shoulder, and asks are there no younger dramatists? (.ibson' nnd Drealc New York Evening Sun. What is the matter with Mr. Charles Dana Gibson? In a drawing of his published in an alleged comic paper this week he shows his heroine sitting at breakfast ir. an evening frock, with bare neck, sho-.i-ders and arms. As. the young person so depicted is supposed to be fashionable, this Is all the more surprising. Perhaps Mr. Gibson has fallen among the Philistines. At one of our most-talked-of hotels a few weeks ago a large matron, of the new-rich variety, astonished all beholders by appearing in the breakfast room the dav after hr arrival from the vast and bounding West. In such attire, with the addition of diamonds. But that was a different story altogether. Really, our artists ought not to take their notions ot fashion from the backwoods.
