NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Ever since he
donned the West Point uniform Cadet
James Wallace Broatch. of South Da-
kota, has been given the palm as a
boxer at the famous academy. but he
is now lying battered and bruised in
the academy hospital. having been in
gloriously dethroned last Sunday by
Cadet Albert E. Saxton, a San Fran

Saturday evening the two had a dis

cellar under the ''day room" the two
met Each brought two friends. They
stripped to the waist and at it they
went. Three rounds were fought In
the first Saxton was severely punished
and Broatch was without a scratch.
The third round lasted five minutes.
Broatch lay bleeding on the cellar
floor. He was unconscious and his
seconds feared he was dead.
The news spread like wildfire
throughout the academy. All the ca
diets were glad that the boss boxer had
been whipped. but their sympathy
went out to him when they saw the
blood gushing from two ugly wounds
He was SO chagrined at having been
beaten by Saxton that he cried like a
baby.
Monday night his condition alarmed
the doctor. as symptoms of fever ap-
peared. Wednesday he was too fever

BURNED TO DEATH.
Twins Locked In q Room Arc Consumed

Twins Locked in a Room Are Consumed
BY Fire Before Their Condition Becomes
Known.
MARIANA, Ark, Feb. 29.-The old
Jail building and a house next to it
were burned yesterday. In the house
were two little negro girls. twins, less
than a year old, who were burned to
death before anyone could rescue them.
Their mother. Phillis Gill, destitute
woman, had locked them up in the
shanty while she went out to beg, and
the first ones to arrive on the scene
were unable to force the door open.
The bodies were almost entirely con-
sumed, only few bones being found
among the debris.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The woman says she left no fire about
the house, and thinks it was set on
fire. but the general opinion is that it
either caught from the fiue or from
matches ignited by the children, who
were just beginning to walk. The
property, which was of little value,
was owned by II. P. Rodgers.

RIOT IN BERLIN.

The Mob Finally Dispersed After Many
Broken Eeads and Arrests-
BERLIN, Feb. 26-The emperor's
speech Wednesday to the members of
the Brandenburg diet, who banqueted
him, has caused sensation. Yester-
day afternoon 5000 or 1000 unem-
ployed men met by preconcerted ar
rangement in public square and
passed a series of inflammatory resolu-
tons denouncing the employers and the
system of government which enabled
the latter to crush the workingman be-
meath the iron heel of capital, and CALI
ing upon the government to take steps
to protect the interests of the working
classes The news of this bold gath
ering, in defiance of the recent order
Of the authorities, spread with rapidity
throughout the city. The result was
that social agitators determined to make
a demonstration before the castle of the
emperor Led by the socialist agitat-
ors, the workmen formed in a column
and marched in the direction of Inter
Den Linden, the most celebrated ave-
nue. in Berlin. The police were utterly
unable to cope with them. Beneath
the statue of Frederick the Great a
halt was made and a socialist leader
made a passionate address to the throng
to carry their demonstration up to the
gates of the castle.
Loud cheers created the suggestion
and then at signal from a prominent
socialist, who seemed to be the chosen
leader the workmen began singing
the Marseillaise and marched, cheered
by thousands toward the castle. Pass
ing through line of police
which barred their passage they
had nearly reached the castle
gates when strong detachment
of police thew themselves be-
fore the rioters and made determined
charge, the latter for a moment or so
nerved by the roaring cheers of thou s.

onward by those in the rear, actually
managed to gain Roadway and beat
back the police The latter, however,

Cullen, the Child Murderer, Hanged By .
Mob at Marshfeld, MO.-The Crime For
Which He Suffered.
MARsHFIELD, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-Richard
Cullen, the young man arrested charged
with the murder OF the foster child of
Cullen's step-father, Henry Shaw, was
taken from the Jail by an armed mob,
at 10 o'clock last night, and hanged to
a telegraph pole.
Last Tuesday night the body of a
four-year-old boy was found in an old
well near the residence of Henry Shaw.
The child was a wait. having been
found on the doorstep of a prominent
citizen four years ago. twas then two
weeks old. and was adopted by Shaw
at that time, and he has reared it and
cared for it as his own. Monday night
Mrs. Shaw put the boy to bed in a
room where Richard Cullen. Shaw's
step-son, slept Tuesday morning the
child was missing. Shaw Immediately
gave the alarm and search was COM
menced. Sus picion pointed to Cullen,
who had been jealous of the waif, be-
cause he believed his step-father in
tended to leave his property to him,
and it was believed the boy had been
murdered. About o'clock Tuesday
evening some one thought of the old
we'll near Shaw's place, and in short
time the body Of the little innocent
was brought out A coupling pin was
fastened to the neck Of the body and
the examination by physicians showed
that the boy had been thrown into the
well while yet alive. An inquest was
commenced that night and continued
next day. In the course of the inves-
tigation tracks leading from the Shaw
house to the we'll were discovered.
Cullen wore peculiar pair of hob
nail shoes, and these shoes, it was
found, fitted the tracks exactly, con-
clusively proving that he was the guilty
man. He and his mother were both
held for the murder and comm tilted to
Jail The general indignation which
was at first felt has grown stronger and
stronger as each day passed, until it
found expression in the public reve nge
of LAST night Cullen was a reckless
youth of %, and had recently returned
from the west.

FREE COINAGE

Ar. Bland Confident That the Free Coin.
age Advocates Have q Clear Majority in
the House-Tactics of the Opposition to
Free Silver.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The free coin
age men of the house feel elated over
the action of the caucus in refusing
any proposition for the delay of free
coinage legislation. Although the
action of the caucus in so far as results
are concerned may be termed a draw,
the failure of Mr.. Harter and the other
pronounced opponents of free coin
age to secure any considerable support
for the proposition for the postpone
ment is great comfort to Chairman
Bland and his free silver colleagues in
the house. They stated with consider
able emphasis yesterday. and indeed it
is not denied by their opponents in the
democratic party, that the free coinage
men could have developed sufficient
strength Thursday night to have passed
resolution expressing the sentiment
of the caucus in favor of an early and
decisive consideration of the Bland free
coinage bill
Mr.. Harter and his friends content
themselves by simply announcing that
they. will oppose the Bland bill by
.everS parliamentary tactic in their
power when it comes up to the house,
and that it will never pass the lower
branch of congress if the generosity of
the democratic committee on rules has
.placed at their disposal the parlia-
mentafy weapons of obstruction
necessary to tire out and weary the
friends of the measure by weeks of de-
lay.
The free coinage people openly de-
ride the pretentions of Mr.. Harter and
his friends that the passing of the
Bland bill can be defeated when it
comes up for consideration. They say
that the democratic members who are
opposed to free coinage will. for the
most part, content themselves by re-
cording their votes against it, and that
the visionary and some what belliger-
ent schemes of Mr.. Harter and the
Eastern democrats will not find sub
stantial support in the democratic par
ty. They also insist that should the
latter cali to their assistance in their
dilatory tactics the aid of the republi-
cans of the house they will thereby
place themselves outside the pale OF
party and show in secret their affilia-
tions are with the minority in the house.
