YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED.
Headless Body Found i'm Woods nt
 Chel sford, Mass.

Lowell, Mass, June 9.-The headless and decomposed body of a young wo- man was found under heap of brush in patch of woodland in Chelmsford this afternoon. Murder had been com mitted in a horrible fashion, for the head had been separated from the trunk by series of slashes with a dull weapon. The meagre clothing affords no clue to the identity of the unfortu- nate and the circumstances offer case of interest outside rather than directly in the community as the theory quick ly set up is that the body had been taken into the woods, thrown in spot that offered some seclusion. The body was found on a wood road leading from the so-called North Billery road about two miles from the village of Chelmsford Center. It was found by Elmer Hildreth, superintendent of the town farm, and Balser

INDEPENDENCE OUT AGAIN

 ATE BREEZE.
Her Other Sp.ns-Provcs Again He- Wonderful Reaching Qualities and Shows Considerable Ability fin Wind ward wori-Quick in stays.

Boston, June 9.-The Independence had another sail in the bay late this afternoon and the breeze being only moderate the big yacht spread more canvas than has yet been hoisted. The sea was smooth and again she proved her wonderful reaching qualities be- sides showing considerable ability in windward work. Not only did she hold well up to the breeze, keeping within an average of three points, but she footed quite fast and tackled in the neighborhood of twenty seconds. The trial was confined to less than two hours of actual sailing, most of the time being spent on the wind or reach ing. and as yet the yacht has not been sent dead to leeward, 1t being thought well to wait for the spinnaker and club topsail.
 There was no accident to- day barring slight rent in the mainsail which rather hindered the setting of that great piece of canvas A stronger cap

No Date Fixed.

Toronto, Ont, June 9.-Regarding the fixing of a date upon which railway corporations will be asked to sign a paper granting the machinists nine- hour work day with a 12 12 per cent. increase in wages, President O'Connell said this evening that hte matter has practically been disposed of by the convention. A resolution approving of such action has already been passed, but the fixing of date has been re- ferred to the executive committee and will afterwards be submitted to a vote of all the members of the association. In any event the date will be some time in the future as the machinists are finding the present strike costly and do not want to borrow any more trouble

THIRD TERM FOR M'KlNLEY
AVORED BY CONGRESS.
 MAN GROSVENOR OF OHIO.
Nations History When Conditions So Justified It-Washiugton Declined Fearing Defeat Fiction Established by Him Should be Demolished.

Cincinnati, June a.-"There has been no time in our history when conditions would so justify the election of a pres ident to third term as in the case of Mckinley"
 This remark was recently made by Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor. "McKnley is personally the most pop uar president we have had in a long time, and he has certainly most cred- itably performed the duties of his high office. I think 1t is time, furthermore, to demolish the fiction that there is an unwritten law, established by Wash ington, that no president of the United States may accept third term. The facts are, as any student of the times may discover. that it was fear of de- feat which impelled Washington to de- cline third nomination. Being fed eralist he was the object of very vio- lent attacks on the part of the demo- crats of his day. and recognizing the growing strength of his opponents, he doubted as I believe, his ability to again secure an election if he should run"

CALLS IT 4 DEL USION.
Professor Moore RtdicuIes Cannon Fir
 ing to Protect Orchards,


 Washington, June 9.-The extensive reports of United States Consul Covert at Lyons, France, relative to the suc- cess of cannon-firing in France as a means of protecting orchards and vine yards from hail storms, and also for the purpose of mitigating or nullifying the effects of frosts upon vegetation, have prompted numerous inquiries by horti- culturists in this country as to when, if at all, the United States government would adopt some methods of protec- tion.
 Professor Willis l.. Moore, the chief of the weather bureau, acting under the direction of Secretary Wilson, has, therefore, issued to the press the fol- lowing statement:
 After an examination of all that has been published during the past two years my conviction is that we have here to do with a popular delusion as remarkable as is the belief in the effect of the moon on the wather. The uned- ucated peasantry of Europe seem to be looking for something miraculous. They would rather believe in cannon ading as a means of perfection and spend on IL dDunudHce u illOley, lliic and labor than adopt the very simple expedient of mutual insurance against the losses that must inevitably occur.
 4'The great processes going on in the atmosphere are conducted on too large a scale to warrant any man or nation in attempting to control them. The en- ergy expended by nature in the produc- tion of a hail storm, a tornado or rain storm exceeds the combined energy of all the steam engines and explosives in the world It is useless for mankind to combat nature on this scale.
 After the experience that this .coun- try has had during the past ten years with rainmakers I am 10th to believe that the bombardment of hail storms will ever be practiced or even attempt ed in the United States, much less en- by the intelligent portion of the community. Every effort should be made to counteract the spread of the delusion which has been imported into this country by Consul Covert"

BOER WOMEN IND CHILDREN.
Said to be in Horrible Condition in
 Concentrated Camps.

New York, June 9.--The Rev. H. D. Von Brockhuizen, of Pretoria, South Africa, the minister who closed the volksraad with prayer after President Kruger's ultimatum had been read to that body, is in this city. His brother, Dr. H. J. Von Brockhuizen, of the Or ange Free State, who served in the Boer army, accompanies him. Their mission in this country is to raise money for the Boer women and chil- dren now in refugee camps. Rev. Dr. Won Brockhuizen said in an interview:
 Our women and children, who are at present concentrated in camps estab- lished by the British, are in a horrible condition. It was bad enough when l left South Africa but I know, from letters that I have received-one only the other day from my sister-that it is hundred times worse now"
 When the doctor left South Africa, he says, he was virtually banished by order of General Maxwell, military governor of Pretoria. General Maxwell wrote him that he had better leave the country and provided a second cabin passage to Europe on the ground that inasmuch as he would not take the oath he was dangerous to the British cause.
 Dr. Won Brockhuizen said further of the camps: Tn an official report made by Dr. Ronald P. Mckenzie, of the British army, on February IS of this year, the British government is noti fled that the conditions are horrible, the death rate appalling and the food furnished wholly unfit to eat. Nothing I or any one else has ever said has been half as caustic as this arraign- ment of his own people by Dr. McKen- zie.'
 The Afrikanders, Rev. Dr. Won Brockhuizen ayers, will never be over come and all reports to the contrary are false The Boer army numbers 15,- GOO to 17,000 men and is constantly be- ing augmented by Cape Colony Boers. The Boer forces are now armed with Lee-Metford rifles, he says, and they have tons of ammunition buried which they can use at any time against the British.

BACCA1AuREArE AT PRINCETON
Address of President Patton to the
 Graduating Class.

Princeton, N. J., June 9.-President Patton, in his baccalaureate address to the graduating class to-day, spoke on | the Intellectual Life in It's Religious, Political and Social Aspects" He said in part:
 "It is hard to find a materialist now | adays Now there is the political situ- ation; questions are emerging constant ly to occupy the attention of thinking men. Now it is the Chinese indemnity now the Boer war, now the queen of Servias disappointment over a pros- pective heir. We ourselves have come into the place of other nations and say to ourselves that by our new policy splendid careers are opened for young men. But there is a moral issue in- volved. Great and perplexing ques- tons emerge and we ask how about the weaker nations in this Christian era. The exponent of peace at this time is the czar of the Russias and we thought that Russia was away behind the times.
 We are not satisfied even when the supreme court of the United States, having the largest jurisdiction of any court in the world, settles the great question of our insular relationships to the constitution, for it seems to look as if the judges decided both ways.
 There are social questions. We have improved; our life has grown more complex. When MT. Rockefeller founded his university on this side and MT Carnegie gives $10,000,000 to endow the four universities of his native land on the other side the world may well express, not only amazement but it's pleasure.'

COURTS RETURN TO PEKIN.
Chinese Express Great Satisfa ctton Over
 the Announcement.

Pekin, June 9.-The Chinese express great satisfaction at the announcement of the intention of the court to return to Pekin in September which was made in an imperial edict. All the foreign troops, with the exception of the lega- tion guards, are expected to withdraw by the middle of that month, the other troops not already under orders of withdrawal being the Japanese, whose government is sending reliefs. It is said, however, at the Japanese legation that when Japan is absolutely certain the other powers are evacuating her own troops can be withdrawn on two days notice.
 General Voyron, the French com- mander, has instructions to leave one brigade for service in China, and the French transports are en route. The British will have completed their de- parture by the end of September, ten transports making two journeys to h. dfa.

 This important development in the case was made known to the father of the girl late this afternoon, Dr. Mary J. Brewster, physician at Smith college, visited the girl last night and again o-day, and she reported finding her in such condition mentally that she ex pressed a desire that Dr. J, G. Hanson, the woman physician at the state in- sane asylum, be called into the case.
 Dr. Hanson, after making a careful examination, expressed the opinion that the Burt girl is suffering from mental denangement and should immediate receive treatment. The physician so stated to the girls father, J. ogden Burt, and that if she were released from jail she would not be in a condition to go home, but should be sent to a sanita- riIlm

TRAFFIC ABATEMENT.
The Fair Haven and WestvilIe and Winchester Avenue ROads-A Traffic Agreement Probable.


 A regular meeting of the directors of the Winchester Avenue Railroad com pany was held Saturday afternoon last. During the meeting the matter of running the cars under the new condi tions and in connection with the Fair Haven road was discussed. From all points of view after thorough consider ation, it was deemed best for the pres ent, to enter a traffic arrangement with the latter named company and it was therefore voted that an agreement, under which the receipts will be fairly adjusted, should be made and go into effect July first A regular quarterly dividend of one and a quarter per cent. was declared, payable the first of July.

CONEIDENI 1T WILL BE LIGHTED
Conservative Cuban Delegates Hopeful
 for PIatt Amendment.

for PIatt Amend timent.
 Havana, June 9.-The conservative members of the constitutional conven- ton are absolutely confident tonight that the Platt amendment will be ac- cepted and that several radicals will join with the fifteen delegates who have heretofore voted in favor of ac- ceptance. The last few days seem to have brought about a decided change in the attitude of delegates who had been bitterly arraigning the Washing ton government for rejecting the con- vention's interpretations of the amend ment. The strong pressure from the outside brought to bear upon the con- vention to finish it's business and to place the country on settled basis has had an excellent effect upon the radicals, inducing them to accept the inevitable. The convention will meet in secret session tomorrow. It is ex- pected that several days will elapse before a vote is taken.
