MURDER AND RAPE.
Indictment Against Four Men I'm
Bosschieter Case.

Paterson, N. j., November e,-The
grand jury which, It Is asserted, arrived
at unanimous agreement yesterday to
inaict for murder In the first degree the
four men charged with having caused the
death OF Jennie Rossohieter, did not re-
sumo its session until late this afternoon.
Judge Dixon's court room and the corri-
doris OF the Passaic county court house
were crowded with spectators awaiting
the jury's arrival.
At three o'clock the grand jury entered
the court room and presented batch of
indictments. The prisoners, McAlister,
Kerr, Campbell and Death, were each In
dicted for murder and rape, In the ab-
senee of Judge Dixon, Justice Barkaiow
EmIey was present, but he made no at
tempt to arraign any OF the prisoners in
dicted. This was deferred until Presid.
ing Judge Dixon returns to the bench,
which may not be until after election.
1t is alleged that In the course of the
discussion OF the case among the mem
bers of the grand jury, 1t was said that
Jennie's heart was weak and 1t was
possible that this may have been the
cause of her death. There was no eyi.
dence that chlora was administered and
this point can only be determined by
the analysis of the stomach or by con.
fession of one of the accused men, The
physician could not say positively that
death was due to a poisonous drug but
this matter will be cleared before the case
comes to trial. The chemical ANALYSIS OF
the dead girls organs is being made at a
laboratory In New York city, or which
Prof. Witthaus who has figured In the
Molineux, Rice and other cases, is the
head. The analysis has not yet been
completed and no report has been made
to the county physician.

CONSTITUTION AND FLAG.
Decision by Judge Estee OF Homo
lulu.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press. }
Honolulu, October e5, via San Francis
90. November 2.-United States District
Judge Estee has rendered decision to
the effect that the constitution does not
follow the flag, in an important libel
case that has been before the courts here
for sometime. William II. Marshall was
sentenced to six months Imprisonment
for criminal libel, on account Of pubii-
cations he made about the late Oh ief
justice Judd. He made an appeal to
the Supreme court Of Hawaii based upon
technical grounds, alleging that the
methods pursued during his trial were
not in accordance with American proce-
dure. The lower court was sustained
and Marshall returned to Judge Estee
with writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Estee held that the laws of
Hawaii allowing conviction OF defendants
upon verdict by nine jurors. were
still in force at the time of Marshall's s
trial, which was long after the passage
OF the resolution annexing Hawaii to the
Union. The judge said that Hawaii be-
ened state possessing all the attributes OF
sovereignty and when the islands were
annexed by the United States not only
the lands but the people with their laws
and customs were annexed, and by the
well established law OF nations, these
laws and customs remained in force until
new laws wsre enacted for the govern
ment of the territory.
The question OF whether the constitu-
tion follows the flag TO Hawaii is one
which many people would like to have
decided by the Supreme court Of the
United States. One of the Circuit judges
here, taking view opposite TO that of
Judge Estee. has already released pris-
oner who was convicted of an infamous
crime without grand jury Indictment.
but the Circuit judge to whom Marshall 8
appeal went held the other way. The
result is the release of one man and the
confirmation of the sentence OF another
though both applied on exactly the same
points. The attorney general has rendered
an opinion that the old Hawaiian law
requiring vessels arriving here to pay half
pilot fees, even IL they do not use a pilot,
Is not in force now, as far as Am srican
vessels engaged In domestic trade are
concerned,
Foreigners and American bottoms In
foreign trade are still liable to the charge.
Signor Marooni has sent DO Hawaii
new expert from London to investigate
the cause of the failure Of his system

And Has Made 673
Speeches in That Time.
Record Only Equalled by Bryan
in 1896.

Owego, N. z. November s.-Theodore
Roosevelt, Republican candidate for Vice
President, concluded here tonight one Of
the most remarkable campaigns ever
made by a candidate of any party in the
United States. In eight weeks he has
visited "a states OF the Union, made 67s
speeche- travelled q, ,209 miles, visited
567 towns and cities, and talked TO what
is estimated to be 5000, 900 people. This
record includes more speeches, more miles
travelled, and more territory covered
than that OF all the other candidates for
Presi Dent or Vice Prssid snt OF the Unit
ed States of all other parties for the last
hundred years, with the exception OF the
record made by W. J. Bryan In 1895. and
1t exceeds MIR Bryan's record, which was
500 speeches, made, and 1900 miles COW
cred. This wonderful campaign was
finished by a two wesks' tour OF the
state of New York. during which the
candidate travelled g. 1853 miles through
81 counties, and made 1s0 speeches, the
majority of them from the rear platform
or the train. MIR. Roosevelt snished
this tour In excellent health and good
SPIRITS, and, as he said tonight. with
slightly weakened voice, but able to
go on with the campaign a couple OF
weeks more"
The last day of the campaign included
eight stops between Jamestown,in Chau-
taqua county, and inclusive OF Oswego,
in TIoga county. The stops today varied
from two hours duration at Olean, ten
minutes at other points, finishing to-

BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
Chicago, November 2.-William Jen-
nings Bryan's programme in Chicago
today included twelve speeches. The
crowds that greeted him were greater
than those of yesterday and last night.
The only semblancs of disturbance mani
fest during the day was at Old Vienna
pavilion. Two men in the audience
asked, almost simultaneously, "How
about North CarolinaP' and MIR. Bryan
was replying when one OF the questioners
insisted on asking question concerning
trusts, whereupon the crowd demanded
that he be thrown out and threatened 30
lynoa him. Mr. Bryan insisted upon
answering, however, but could not do so
for some time owing to the uproar made
by the crowd in expressing It's resentment
toward the inquisitor. The latter was
saved from violence only by polics inter
ference.

BRYAN's ANTI-CANTEEN VIEWS.
They Win For Him the Vote of Prominen
Preacher, Republican.

A good Republican who is going to
vote for William j. Bryan is the Rev.
Norman Plass, who is largely interested
in the Anti Saloon League and is the
superintendent of the Greater New
York district.
Mr.. Plass was formerly the pastor Of
the Plymouth Congregational Church,
in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan is a
Presbyterian, but was a regular attend
ant every Sunday evening of the Congre-
gational Church, and he and Mr.. Plass
grew to be firm friends.

Plass, land admire and love him. as the

man, with lot of personal magnetism.

ST. MARY'S GUILD.

The following resolutions were passed
by st. Mary's Guild in regard to the death
of Mrs. Jos. b. Bachelor:
Mary Cary Bachelor, wife of Hon. Jo-
seph B. Bachelor, died suddenly on the
twenty-third of July, 1900. She was one
of the charter members of the Church
of the Good Shepherd founded in 1874,
and the first president of st. Mary's
Guild, organized soon thereafter. For
twenty-six years the Guild has found in
her an ever faithful helpful worker A
meeting had been called by her for the
day of her DEATH showing how active
was her interest in the work to the end.
Her zeal, her cheerfulness, her warmth
of heart endeared her to all co-workers.
and therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Mrs Jc-
seph B. Bachelor the Church of the
Good Shepherd has lost a faithful worker,
and that we extend to her husband and
children our heartfelt sympathy in their
sorrow-which is our sorrow. So sud-
denly did the blow fall, we cannot yet
realize the full extent of the loss.
Asking that God may comfort her be-
reaved ones, and bless the work in which
she so long labored is the earnest prayer
of her co-workers in St. Marys Guild
and of the whole congregation.

A TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION.

A. few days ago in the office of General
Auditor of the S. A. L., at Portsmouth,
there came to pass an out of the way lit
tie scene, as railroads go.
Mr.. j. B. Martin, until recently General
Auditor of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way, was the central figure. The fine
old gentleman was taken unawares. There
was silver service awaiting him and
twenty eight clerks stood about it. Then
somebody went across the hall and came
back with the retiring official.
The silver service was to emphasize
parting regrets that were mutual. And
it did.
Mr.. T. B. Cowper had been chosen to
present the gift, and Mr.. Martin looked
startled as he came forward to receive
it. 1t was all a surprise for him that
almost made him powerless to reply.
In the centre of the heavy silver waiter
was this inscription:
'To Mr. ]. B. Martin. A tribute of af-
lection from the clerical force of the
General Auditors office of the S. A. L"
The silver consisted of cream, coffee
and tea pots, exquisitely chased with
gold-lined sugar-bowl and spoon-holder.
Mr.. Cowper coming modestly forward
said with ill-concealed feeling: 81 am
requested, Mr.. Martin, as representative
OF the clerks in the auditing department,
to present to you upon your retirement
from office this testimonial of their ap-
probation of your kindness toward them,
and of their respect, friendship and love
for you, and with the hope that your
future years may be many and filled with
all the happiness and pleasures that man
can reasonably wish for"
Mr.. Martin stood silent for several
moments, his eyes filling with tears. He
recovered himself only spasmodically, and
with much difficulty controlled himself
in an acknowledgement, which, however,
was tasteful, and deeply meant and to
the point.
Mr.. Martin was about to end service
that had continued for thirty-thre years
having however, voluntarily brought tc
an end his relations with the system Dur
ing his thirty three years service he has
never lost a day from duty. He thinks he
has earned a rest, and with a competent
sum laid by for his later years, he anc
