JENNIE BOSSCHIETER = WAS TAKEN OUT TO HER
 SAD DEATH LIKE A DOG

Paterson, N. J., January 17.-For the en- tire session today the opposing counsel in the Jennie Bosschieter murder trial appealed to the jury. Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney Ralph Shaw began the summing up for the State. It was expected that MT. Finley would do this, but he merely offered in evidence the under garment said to have been a part of Jennie Bosschieter's ward robe.
 MT. Shaw denounced the accused, who, he said had taken the girl out to do her to death like dog. He demanded that the jury render such a verdict as the law and the evidence demanded, one of guilty in the highest degree.
 Then ex-Judge Francis Scott led in the summing up for the defence; he was fol- lowed by Michael Dunn Their addresses were similar. They declared that no case had been made out against Walter McAllis- ter William Death and Andrew Campbell. They ridiculed the expert testimony and branded the hack man. Schuthorphe. as a man of the lowest type and of the basest motives. They maintained that the story told by him was not supported by evidence and that it was lie. MT. Scott made a point that if Schulthropes story were to be believed at all he should be a prisoner ac- eused of participation in the crime. MT.

West Point, January H-The congress sional committee examined only two wit nesses today. Cadet James Prentice, who had accused Booz of feigning to read hIs Bible when he had a novel hidden inside the cover, said that he believed that he was mistaken and Booz might have been reading a lesson leaf or a supplement to the Bible.
 Cadet Douglass MacArthur stoutly denied that he had ever tainted or become uncon- scious from violent exercising and insisted that he had not been treated any more harshly than his tent mate. Cunningham, and several other class mates. He swore nositiyely that he had neither convulsions nor hysteria in consequence The whole matter, he said, had been greatly exag- gerated and the story that cotton had been stuffed into his mouth to stfie his groans was perfectly absurd. He acknowledged, however, that Cadets Cookery and Barry had exercised him until his muscles became cramped and he lost all power over them. He also admitted that he lay on his cot and moaned, but did not cry out.
 When Cadet Macarthur took the stand. MT. Driggs said:
 ..Mr MacArthur, we have had a mass of testimony given here regarding the fact of your having been hazed so violently that

Scott was arguing that the State had failed to prove the first count, that of assault, when Judge Dixon interrupted him, saying:
 Before you proceed I want the jury to understand that if cl:oral were given or if person were struck choked in order to accomplish the assault the poison or violence is a part of the assault. The jury must not be misled that point"
 The counsel for the defense-declared that it had not been proven that chloral was administered to the girl, and that none of the medical testimony offered had shown that the girl had been assaulted. During his argument MT. Dunn took up there was any and he said that the action of the men in placing the body where it would be found showed they were guiltless. He claimed that there was no criminal act shown in the case for the state. The men had done all that was possible to revive the girl
 MT. Dunn contended that the stending of the prisoners must be considered, Death, young man only recently married and of responsibility. Campbell, almost boy, with the whole world and most of life be- fore him. McAllister reputable business man and well known to the people of Pat. erson. Was it not preposterous to accuse such men of such crime?
 It is expected the case will reach th8 jury tomorrow afternoon.

Corbin, Ky, January 17.-This place has been at high pitch of anxiety rather than of excitement tonight. Reports were re- ceived of armed men massing outside of the town representing the factions in the feud that caused so much trouble last night. The special train with troops from Lexing ton is due at a. m. and then there will today to clear the debris of the White building, wrecked last night by dynamite. Every one kept within doors, fearing furth- CT trouble between the Shotwells and Whites before the troops arrive
 Friends of the Shotwells searched every train for certain friends of the Whites here and at Williamsburg. It was during these proceedings that Judge Morrow ask ed Governor Beclzham for troops
 Fifty of the Chadwells from Clay county came to Gray's station tonight, there join ing the Shotwell faction. Sheriff Sutton has sworn in a very large force of deputies. The Shotwells occupy the hills near the in Corbin. All the residences are barri- caded
 There has been some relief since Koch White and Raleigh White were arrested and taken to Williamsburg, the county seat. Koch White is crippled and will lose both eyes as the result of the explosion. It is believed he cannot recover. Raleigh White has just returned from service in the Philippines.

you had convulsions. The committee is desirous of having you tell in your own way the manner in which you were hazed, the forms of hazing. the names of the men who hazed you and the consequences.'
 Macarthur replied:
 MacArthur's Story
 'T had been about a month in the sum- mer camp of 1899 as a plebe' when the hazing, an account of which I have read in the papers, occurred. Like most reports of the kind, it was small affair greatly exaggerated afterwards. My treatment was no more severe than that given to others and was in no way calculated to place me in a severe physical condition.
 'I had no convulsions; that report is en- tirely erroneous. I had what you might call aggravated cramps and lost control of my muscles. I most emphatcally deny that I was seized with convulsions. I was not delirious nor out of my mind.
 "The hazing took place in A Company's street. It was not my own tent There were other men there, Farnum, Haskell and Cunningham, my tent mates There was soiree and several of my classmates were hazed on that occasion. The soiree lasted about an hour. I got about 250 eagles, hung on the stretcler for two mdn- utes at time and did some dips. lit was a very warm night and I had been feeling 'under the weather adl day and was rather weak. It was dark when the soiree began and I perspjred profusely, but by taps I was all right again."

CLEvELAND'S WARNING

ous one. If England succeeds in her at tempt in South Africa she will but add another to her list of similar acquisitions; a brave people will be subjugated; and be- cause of our engagement in a similar ven- ture in another quarter they will miss the expressions of American sympathy which we are accustomed to extend to those who struggle for national life and independ- ence. On the other hand, with success in our subjugation effort new untried and exceedingly perilous situation will be forced upon us. We can conquer the Philippines, and after conquering them can probably govern them. It is in the strain upon our institutions the demoralization of our people the evasion of our constitutional limitations and the perversion of our tional mission that our danger lies. AS distinguished bishop has said:
 "The question is not what we shall do with the Philippines, but what the Philip pines will do to us''
 Passed Beyond Old Lines.
 Our country will never be the same again. For veal or woe, we have already irrevoc- ably passed beyond the old lines
 The republic will in some sort be saved. Shall it be only in name and semblance, with fair external appearance, but with the germs of decay fastened upon it's vitals or shall it. though changed, still survive in Sucn VlSOr ana strength as to remain the hope ard pride of free Americans?
 The problem is a mom\ltous one. It's solution depends upon the extent to which the old patriotism and good sense of our countrymen can be rescued from impending danger Thus these are sober days for thoughtful citizens-days for preaching days for sermonizing.
 If we are to be saved from disaster it must be through the cultivation and en- forcenent of tihat sort of conservatism that would find a congen5al home in the Holland society. In the midst of reckless tumuit and in the confused rage of nation al greed and bloodG:ness this conservatism should defiantly hold forth. Let it be known ,ulnat American freedom and popular rule cannot perish except through the madness of those who have them in their keeping and by the blood and sacrifices of fathers,-by the lofty achievements of the free institutions they established, by our glorious victories of peace and by our reliance the promises of God, let Dutch conservatism enjoin upon our people a faithful discharge of their sacred trust.

IRON SITUATION
 DURING THE WEEK Prospect of Conflict Between the Blast Furnace Operators PRICES HAVE BEEN STEADY Recent Indications Show There Are Preparations in Many Directions
 for Extraordinary Use of
 Iron and Steele.
PRICES HAVE BEEN STEADY

Cleveland, O., January 1.-The Iron Trade Review this week will say:
 "The prospect of conflict between blast furnace operators in the Mahoning and Shemango valleys and their employees may become factor of some importance in the situation The furnace men recently de- cided on a reduction from $1.90 to $165 for turn work, and the employees at a conven- ton this week mot only decided to strike in case the reduction Is put in force, but presented counter demand for a 10 per cent. increase. The indications are that operations will stop at all the valley fur naces now in blast, these including a num- Der of plants connected with steel works.
 ''In tine past week there have been con- siderable sales of Bessemer irons, prices ranging from $1325 to $13.40 at Pittsburg, and when the deliveries are made in the next two months stocks in the valleys will be very materially reduced There Is no general buying movement in foundry iron though it is understood that agricultural considerable purchases.
 Prices have been stationary in most markets with some tendency to concessions
 
 sumption is heavier than at any other time since early in 1900 but production Is i'm creasling steadily and consumers have been counting on lower prices after ore ship ments begin for tine new season.
 So far as the prospects for the year can be judged thus early, there are preparations in many directions for extraordinary use of iron and steel. In all the large cities plans are under way for pushing much work held up by strikes and high prices last year. Money to carry all such projects is abund- ant. The rail mills have brought fair amount of business since the year opened, yet the lines in the central west are contrib uting Some good orders.
 ''The announcement that the prices on rails would be withdrawn on January 15 may have hastened some buying, but there is still skeptcism concerning the reported purpose of the pool to make 2-cent ad- vance in February. Mills in all districts are fully occupied and none are pushing for business. Meantime finished material mar kets are rather dull, particularly in bars, buyers having so fully provided for their Wants'

PROTEST AGAINST
 THE CIRCUIT BILL
Live Stock Raisers Send Memo
 . rial to U. s. Senate
MEASURE IS VERY UNJUST
1t Discriminates Against One Industry for the Benefit of Another-Oleo- margarine is Termed Whole
 some Article of Diet.

Salt Lake. Utah, January 17-This has been a busy day in the National Live Stock Association convention and such sub stantial progress has been made that 1t is likely that an adjournment will be taken tomorrow in accordance with the original programme. The following memorial to the Senate of the United States was adopted: To the Honorable, the Senate of the United
 States:
 Your orator, the National Live Stock As sociation, respectfully represents unto your honorable body that it is an association composed of one hundred and twenty-six live stock and kindred organizations all interested in the production marketing and disposition of live stock and whose holdings. thereof represent an investment of over s6oO,0OO,OO0.
 Your orator, in annual session assembl ,d at Salt Lake City, Utah, desires to enter its emphatic protest against the enactment of what is commonly known as the Grout bill (II. B. 371O and in behalf of it's protest desires to record a few of the many req sons in support of it's contention This measure is a species of class legislation of the most niquitous and dangerous kind calculated to build up one industry at the expense of another, equally as important It seeks to impose an unjust, uncalled for and unwarranted burden upon one of the principal commercial industries of the country for the purpose of prohibiting it's manufacture, thereby destroying competi- tion as the manufacturers cannot assume the additional burdens sought to be im- posed bysthis measure and sell their pro- ducts in competition with butter.
 Would Destroy Demand.
 The passage of this law would destroy the demand, except for export, for that product of the beef of animals, oil of oleomargarine, of which 24,OO00OO pounds were used in the year 1899 in the manufacture of oleomar- garine, and also would seriously injure the hog industry by a similar destruction of the demand, except for export, of neutral lard, 31, ,O00, GOO pounds of which was used in the year 1893 in the manufacture of this food product, and by thus eliminating the de- mand for these legitimate articles of com merce force dealers to seek nthsx ehAasals

He stated that he will arrest all the boys tomorrow when the troops arrive, and he will have over 100 deputies of his own. The Shotwells will be charged with blowing up the White restau- rant Goodman was arrested today. A public meeting at the town hall tonight was addressed by the ministers and others.
