WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—~The Kentucky State law requiring raliroad companies in that State to provide separate coaches for colored passengers was made the subject of an opinion in the United States Su- preme Court to-day, the case being that of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com- pn.n; vs. the State of Kentucky. It came to this court from the Kentucky Court of Appeals. The opinion was handed down by Justice Brown, and the Kentucky cuur(‘sdudgment in favor of the State was affirmed. Justice Brown stated that in this case the railroad company had attacked the statute on the ground that it was un- constitutional in that it is an interference with interstate commerce. Justice Harlan dissented, stating his opinion to be that the law is an interference with Interstate commerce and also taking the position that the Kentucky Legislature has no right to classify citizens by color in rafl- way coaches. oooo+¢¢¢¢¢¢4¢¢o4++¢¢: THE DAY’S DEAD. $ B+4 4444444444444 44440 Mrs. Katrina Runge.

Joseph Reinach, who, in articles published in the Siecle, accused Henry of being the real traitor in the | Dreyfus case and sald Esterhazy was his | accomplice, opened to-day in the Assize Court. The audience was small. The ar- rival of former Minister of War Cavag nalc and Generals Mercier and Roget, Wwho are among the witnesses, numbering altogether about 500, did not lead to any incident worthy of note. It is said M. Reinach has summoned Dreyfus as a witness. The trial has been frequently postponed for various rea- sons. At the outset of the hearing to- | day the public prosecutor submitted that the Assize Court was not competent to try the case and asserted that the Cor- rectional Court was the proper tribuna Malitre Leboire, for M. Relnach, plained that the latter desired an mediate trial, not a postponement -until amnesty was enacted, adding_that they wanted full light on’ the subject. The court decided it was competent to try the suit, whereupon the public prosecutor announced he would appeal to the Court | of Cassation against its competence. ex- im- commm's INCOME IS LIMITED | Suit to Restrain Trustees Is Heard Before Judge Leventritt of { Supreme Court. | NEW YORK, Dec. 3—The suit of An-| tone J.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.—Oscar L. Booze, a former cadet at West Point Mili- | tary Academy, who had been lying at the point of death at his home in Bristol, Pa., suffering from injuries which his Parents claim were the result of hazing at the academy over two years ago, dled to-day in great agony. The cause of death was throat consumption. It is alleged by the voung man's father that tobasco sauce was poured down his son’s throat while the cadets were hazing him. The father also claims that red peper was thrown in his ey feet, a tooth knocked out and that other fendish methods were indulged in. Short- Iy after this, the father says, Oscar, be- cause of his physical condition, was com- pelled to resign his cadetship. The young man grew steadily worse, but never would divulge the names of the cadets who 1l treated him. His parents told him it was his duty to tell, but his only an- swer was: I went there expecting to take whatever medicine was given, and it would not be right to complain against WEST POI Dec. 3.—Before e death of 3 e at Bristol, Pa. announced to-day, Colonel A. 1 superintendent’ of the militar ¥ de the following statement: ‘The many statements made in the ress of the country alleging that Oscar ..

Those who expected that his cross-exam- ination would reveal sensational testi- mony were disappointed. It was not dis- closed that his relations with Miss Morri- =on had been anything but those of a friend. Tt was shown that he had taken Miss Morrison riding, had accepted ties from her and received letters from her, the latter after he had become engaged to Miss Wiley, who_ afterward became Mrs. Castje. Castle admitted showing some of | the letters to Miss Wiley and that they made her angry with Miss Morrison.

On cross-examination Castle admitted that Miss Wiley objected to his wearing tles made by Miss Morrison: that she had become angry at defendant when shown the Excelsior Springs letter, and that Miss Morrison had never threatened Miss Wiley, but, instead, expressed a desire to be friendly with her.

BE e WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The annual re- port of Secretary Root is of more than usual interest, owing to its wide scope and the fact that It treats of subjects of such importance as the Philippine insur- rection, the Chinese campaign, the devel- | opments in Cuba and Porto Rico and fin- {ally with the subject of army reorgani- | zation. Some idea of what the army has been | doing in the field and at home is con- veyed by the Secretary's statements that its operations included the prosecution of the war for the suppression of the Philip- | pine Insurrection and establishment of the | government in the Philippines, the rescue of the foreign Ministers in Peking, the preservation and the rellef of distress in Alaska and the construction of roads and telegraphs there, the conduct of the gov- ernment_of Porto Rico until May 1 last, the conduct of the government of Cuba the construction of seacoast fortifica- tions, the garrisoning and maintenance of miltary posts and fortifications, the discharge of a little over one- third of the army and the re-enlistment of soldiers to take their places, and the distribution of supplies to the scattered forces. The chapter of the report treating of military operations in the Philippines is a recital of the features of campaigns that were conducted in the islands during the past year. It is said the purpose was to pursue the bands of Filipinos scattered throughout the islands. e effort was successful and resulted in the further and ractically complete disintegration of the rnsurrec!ionnry bands; in the rescue of nearly all the American and Spanish pris- oners; in the capture of many of the lead- ing insurgents and the destruction of large quantities of arms and supplies. Secretary Root says that with the exe- cution of the military plans there, all for- mal and open resistance to American au- thority in the Philippines terminated, leaving only an exceedingly vexatious and annoying guerrilla warfare of a character closely approaching brigandage, which will require time, patience and good judg- ment tofinally suppress. BIG GUNS TESTED. Puget Sound Fortifications Found to Be in Excellent Condition. SEATTLE, Dec. 3.—Major Willis and Captain Taylor returned to-day from Fort Casey, Fort Flagler and Fort Worden, whither they went last week to make an official test of the big guns of the lower Sound fortifications. The test was con- ducted by Captaln William Crozier of the staff of General Buffington, chief of the Ordnance Bureau of the United States army. The work was finished on Satur- day night at Fort Worden. gpe ng of the test, both Major Willis and Captain Taylor said that it was a complete success in every particular. The guns worked splendidly.

SANTA ROSA, Dec. 3.—The body of a tramp was found 100 yards from the resi- dence of Paul Coulter, at the southern edge of Santa Rosa, this evening, by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ely, who were walking along the railroad track to the city. A portion of the skull had been torn awa and at first it was regarded as almost a certainty that the fellow had been struck by the southbound evening passenger train and killed. Later developments, how- ever, gave rise to a suspicion that he may have been a victim of foul play. When Mr. and Mrs. Ely came across the body it lay in a perfectly natural position, as though the unfortunate man had been killed while asleep. At about 7 o'clock the police arrested a drunken man in that vicinity, and it is possible that he may be able to throw some light upon the mys- tery. The fact that Paul Coulter heard two men quarreling at 6 o'clock at the point where the tramp’s body was found gives color to the theory that the dead man was not the victim of a railway acci- dent. v Cefoo e Do o iAgreeable advice is seldom useful ad- | ice. in Tears. 3.—Mr. Kruger, after peror Willlam's te to a deputation | COLOGNE, Dec he had received gram, spoke @ st 1 hope with all my hea cumstance which preve from receiving me to-day more favorable later.
