A Naval Class In 80: Straits Over a Fourth of’Ju Prank. Annapolis, July 12.—As a result of a Fourth of July prank the May cadets of the fourth class, 37 in number, are prisoners ‘on the United States ship Santee. Some one of the cadets, In de- fiance of orders, exploded a torpedo on the gun deck at night. The cadets were ordered to turn out, but nothing could induce them to expose the cul- pr’it, and they were allowed to return to quarters. At 2 o’clock in the morning another explosion took place on board ship, this time two giant firecrackers. Againthe cadet-s were turned out, and again they refused to betray the guilty cadet, al- though they were kept at “attention” till tenof the cadets fell on the deck from exhaustion. ‘Still obstinate, the class was then allowed to retire. It is asserted that the superintendent has said he will quarter this part of the fourth class on the Santee for the full four years of their academic course unless the name f the offender be fur- nished. That would cost nearly every man his graduation, for the cut of the academic curriculum is so close a .man cannot waste the time going to and from the Santee to the section rooms and keep up with his studies. The cadets are much exercised over the Situation. They cannot go out to play and. are marched in squads,_ under an officer, whenever they leave the ship. They have held a class meeting to de- termine what to do. Their conclusion has not been made known, but the end will doubtless be that the cadet who did the act will own up rather than see the rest of his class suffer for his fun. CYCLE TRACK OWNERS REBEL. The National Association to Declare War on the 1.. A. W. New York, July 12.—The National Cycle Track association held an execu- tive session at the Everett House last night and as a result it is not improba- ble that war will be declared on the L. A. IN. The matter of sanctions is the point of all the trouble. The matter was thoroughly discussed at the meet-- ing, but for the present the association refused to divulge its plans. Eleven of the largest cycle tracks, including Man- hattan Beach, Louisville, Buffalo, New- ark, Boston, Springfield and Asbury Park, were represented. The trouble arises out of the refusal of Chairman Mott of the L. A. W. rac- ing board, to grant sanctions to certain tracks on several occasions, because on the dates asked for it so happened that meets had belen sanctioned in nearby places. The Newark track has suffered especially in this respect. After the meeting Secretary Dueber said: “Our members have over $2,000,000 invested in cycle tracks, and the re— fusal of the racing board to grant sanc- tions on such flimsy excuses is ridicu- lous. It is unfair. Just what steps will be taken to remedy the matter, I can— not say at present, but something will be done, and done quickly." CAPTAIN KIRK SAW IT. A Monster .‘ea Serpent That Was Over :11. Hundred Feet Long. . Marblehead, Mass, July 12.——-Captain John Kirk, a veteran fisherman, whose reputation for veracity is unquestioned and who is also a. strict temperance man, reports that he yesterday saw a monster sea serpent. Captain Kirk explains that he was overhauling his trawl, and he heard a puffing and felt an unucual swell near the Half Way rocks. Thsl he saw what resembled steam, and about 100 yards away, he saw four flnlike projections above the surface of the water and 50 feet beyond them a small snakelike head with bright eyes and bearded. The thing was pushing out from the rocks, and Captain Kirk thinks that he must have seen a hundred or more feet of dark big eellike body squirming about the surface of the water. The Pope and Church Music. Paris, July 12.—The Vatican has call- ed upon the French bishops to supply information as to the different kinds of ecclesiastical music in their dio- ceses, and the pope is preparing in- structions on the subject; with the in- tention of inaugurating certain re— forms, including the abolition of female voices at liturgical services. While ap- proving of instrumental music, his holiness thinks. it should be limited to the use ’of the harp and the gentler wind instruments, the violin being dis- carded as sensual and profane. The music of Haydn and Mozart does not meet with the pope’s approval. Original Package Men Upheld. Charleston, July 12.—In the United States circuit court here Judge Simon- ton has handed down a decision which renders perpetual the injunction recent- ly, granted prohibiting state dispensary constables from interfering with the original package'stores.
