DEATH DUE TO HAVING
So it is Claimed by the Parents Of Oscar Booz.
Denial by superintendent.
(By the Associated Press.

Philadelphia. Dec Oscar l.. Booz,
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 a the
Academy over two years ago. died today
in great agony. The cause of death was
throat consumption. The young mans
father alleged that Tobacco sauce was
poured down his sons throat while the
cadets were hazing him; that red pepper
was thrown in his eyes, hot grease poured
on his bare feet. a tooth knocked out, and
other fiendish fun INDUCED in. Shortly
after this, the father says Oscar, because
of his physical condition, was compelled
TO resign his cadetship and steadily grew
worse, but never would divulge the names
of the cadets who i'll treated him.
THE sUPERINTENDENT's DENIAL.
West Point, N. Y, Dec 3.-Colonel A. T.
Mills, superintendent of the Military
Academy, made statement tonight re-
garding the Booz alleged hazing case in
which he says the charges of atrocious
hazing ore untrue and ridiculous. Col
onel Mills reviews Booz's career at the
Academy and SAYS:
THE reason given for his resignation
was weak eyes His record shows he was
in the last section in mathematics and
the marks he received to date of his
resignation were deficient | believe
therein lies the real cause of his resigna-
tion and l think it most probable that
stories of his alleged i'll treatment arise
from statements he has made in endeav-
oring to explain to his friends why he
left the Academ-. He made 70 COM
plant of III treatment. From INQUIRIES
made, am convinced that this particular
ex-cadet was very little interfered with
or molested by other cadets during his
entire stay at the military Academy"

COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE.
The Views of the English Press on Mckinley s
Utteranccs.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Dec. A. Tuesday.)- Comment
upon President McKinley's message to
Congress, is chiefly devoted to the refer
ences to Americas Chinese policy. The
Daily Graphic says:
THE policy of the United States regard
ing China is not heroic, but it is certainly
practical, and there is ample reason to
believe that it will prevail"
The Times says:
THE message makes it clear that on
the vital point of insisting upon punish
ment for the outrages, Mr.. Mckinley re-
mains firm. We are glad to see that on
the subject of guarantees for Christian
converts the President makes new pro-
posal in advance of any put forward else
where. In regard to the indemnity ques-
ton he is in agreement with some of the
best opinion in England
The Times editorial concludes with
the expression of a hope that Mr.. Nc
Kinley's second term may be marked by
satisfactory settlement of all outstand-
ing questions between Great Britain and
America"
The Daily News says:
The message contains nothing new
and nothing very Illuminating on matters
that are old. 1t will be very closely
scanned for its references to China. It
looks as though the American formula
were that the powers are to specify the
culprits and the Chinese Government is
to specify the punishment. On such terms
speedy settlement would undoubtedly
be possible, but would it be effective or
durable?"
The Standard which agrees with the
Times, in thinking that if all the powers
had withdrawn after the legations were
relieved to the same extent as the United
States, there would not now be much
chance of obtaining satisfaction, remarks:
''The excessive anxiety to re-establish
trade with China, is, perhaps, the real

THE MINISTERS MEET TODAY.
All Hear From Their Governments. NoAgree-
ment Expected.
(By the Associated Press. J


Pelzin, Dec 3.-All the foreign ENJOYS
have now heard from their Governments
regarding the joint note to the Chinese
plenipotentiaries. and a meeting will be
held tomorrow. The ENJOYS are not com
municatiye; but enough is known with
reference to the objections of different
Governments to make ii seem doubtful
that the meeting will have a satisfactory
conclusion.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang both
say that they are anXiously awaiting the
demands of the powers. They declare
that China desires peace at any price
commensurate with the dignity of an in
dependent nation, but they point out that
so long as a large foreign army occupies
the Province of Chi Ii the problem will
be harder to solve.
The missionaries and others who went
through the siege protest bitterly against
any suggestion of leniency. They urge
particularly that those who are high in
office and who were really responsible for
the outrages to foreigners should be exc
cuted; and they insist also that a suff-
cient force should be kept in China to
guarantee order and to protect foreigners
independent of the Chinese, declaring
that, if this is not done a repetition of
the troubles is inevitable
