THE BOOB CASE.
An Investigation Will Be Under
taken, If Demanded by the Dead
Cadets Family.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Col
Albert L. Mills superintendent OF the
Military Academy at West Point, was
at the War Department to-day and
spent some time in conference with
Secretary Root, Adjt General Corbin
and other army officials, during the
morning. Col Mills declined to dis
cuss the case of Cadet BoOz, whose
recent death is alleged to have re-
suited from injuries received in hazing
at the Point.
Adjutant Gen. Corbin said that Col.
Mills visit to Washington had no di-
rect relation TO the Booz case and
that he was here to report before the
House committee on appropriations in
regard to the military academy appro-
priation bill. General Corbin added
that the Booz case was not before the
department in any shape and conse-
quently there was nothing to investi-
gate. OF course, an investigation would
be made if Congress so ordered and
the same course would be followed
without Congressional direction if the
family or relatives of young Booz
should ask for it or enter any com
plant against the officers or students
of the academy.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
In a Celebrated Railroad Case Hand
ed Down by the L. :. Supreme
Court.

Court.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 10
The United States Supreme Court to-day
rendered decision in the case of Wis
consin, Minnesota & Pacific Railroad
Company vs.. Jacob F. Jacobson in error
to the Supreme Court of the State of
Minnesota The opinion was read by Jus
tice Harlan. The opinion of the State
Court was affirmed. The case involves
the validity of the Minnesota State law
requiring intersecting railroad lines cross
ing each other at grades TO make VS.
connecting the two. The law was at
tackled upon the ground that it is vio-
lation of the interstate commerce clause
Of the constitution. In this case 1t was
urged that the railroad company might
be deprived of a long haul of cattle and
compelled to turn them over to an inter-
sectiug road if required to build y
at Hanley Falls, which is the point in
volved in this case, and the claim is made
that a similar objection might apply in
other cases In considering this objeC-
ton the court recognized its existence,
but said the longer haul was liable to
prove injurious to the cattle. The pith
of the courts decision is found in the
following paragraph:
TT is unnecessary to determine the
question of the validity of the whole act.
We simply here determine that the judg-
ment rendered directing this track con-
nection to he made and thus affording
track facilities at Hanley Falls does not
violate the constitutional rights of the
plaintiff in error.
justices White and McKenna Joined in
a dissenting opinion. Justice White said
the opinion was far-reaching in its effect,
and amounted to saying that private
property might be taken for public use
without any compensation whatever.

CUTS TOO DEEP.
In Senator Scotts Opinion of the
Revenue Bill Passed by the
House.


Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 10.
Senator Scott, who was a caller at
the White House to-day, agrees with
many other administration leaders
that $4,000 900 is too heavy a cut for
the war revenue act at this time. He
believes $50, 700, 900 to $25, 900, 600 SUI
ficient. He declares that all the
facts have not been taken into con-
sideration. For instance" said the
Senator, the treasury will have to
redeem probably $45,0 900, 0O0sin stamps
when the amended act goes into oper-
alton. l believe that the redemption
in bank check stamps would run as
high as s5,000,000 or $4,000 600 All
over the country individuals and insti-
tutions using many stamps have laid
in large supplies, sometimes as much
as a year ahead. The government has
received the money for these. and
would Ls-se to return it In case the
taxes are taken off"
The Senator Is not in favor Of re-
moving the tax on bank checks.

JUSTICE BREWER OPPOSED
TO REPUBLICAN EXPAN-
SION.

Associate Justice Brewer, Of the
United States Supreme Court, the
highest tribunal in this country, Re.
publican, and great friend of Nc
Kinley, is opposed to expansion as
now advocated by his party in the
Philippines and Porto Rico, in Buff
falo, New York, February 10th, 1899.
After reviewing ihe question in a
mastery logical manner, bringing in
the Monroe Doctriue, that is being ira
duced and rendered morally inopera-
tive, he winds up with this cutting
shaft at the Republican Presidents
'gush about duty aud destiny"
ave make our own destiny, he says,
and are 1.-THE masters and not the vic
Tins of fate. To attempt to unload
upon the Almighty responsibility for
that which we choose to do is not only
an insult to HIM, but to ordinary hui
man intelligence" The simple ques-
ton before the American people is, can
we find safety in adding to our diff
culties? Expansion as advocated by
the Republican party will bring under
our dominion weaker ana distant
races and lands, with the occasional
glory and sacrifice of war-"a Won
derfully luxurious life" observes JUS
tice Brewer" into which the fortunate
few shall enter. Then the shadow of
the awful question whether the ascend
ing splendor of imperial power is to
be followed by the descending gloom
of decay aud ruin" Unless human
nature history will repeat itself THE
splendor of imperial Rome outshone
the world, but the wealth obtained
without value given undermined the
empire. and the glory of Rome is but
a memory and we should take warning.
We stand today" concludes Judge
Brewer, facing the temptation which
comes from the possibility of accumu-
lated wealth. What right have We
to anticipate that the same result will
not follow if we pursue the same
course of taking what we have not
fully earned?"
