College Kcwdics at Clove!:ind Forfjct Their Trainiiii Cleveland, Dec. 4.—Two hundred Western Reserve university students started out last night to get revenge on Case school men for the latter's attack on the former Monday night. A college boarding house on Adelbert street was invaded by 50 Reserve men and the house turned topsy-turvy. In the attic behind barred doors were found several Case students, who were taken to the street and maltreated. Pails of red and white paint were carried, and the Case men were daubed with it. Next the Case men were driven into a cellar of the dormitory and pounded with sticks and clubs. President Thwing of Western Reserve university, who had been aroused by the noise, came upon the scene, and before he was allowed to speak a Reserve man smashed his hat down over his eyes, addressing him as "Old Scout," and asking how he was. As President Thwing attempted to speak he was constantly interrupted by yeil? from the crowd. He persisted, however, in addressing them, and, he told them that a continuance of the affair would breed an endless war. He commanded that the students of his university go home. All the time the unfortunate Case men were being maltreated and shoved up in front of Prof. Thwing, who was asked his opinion of such looking objects. Professor Thwing's advice prevailed and tha crowd soon dispersed.

FORMAL ACTION TAKEN
Resolutions Look in if to a Forma! Day Devoted (o Kiilo»y Ilave Been Adopted.
Initial Indications Point to a Busy Time Ahead of LYIItli Congress.
Washington, Dec. 3.—Resolutions respecting the late President McKinley were introduced in the house of representatives by Representative Grosvenor today, simultaneously with the introduction by Mr. Foraker in the senate, of the same resolutions, based upon whicn committees were appointed to arrange for a formal memorial service at a date yet to be announced. The reading of the president's message, a lengthy document, was received with formal attention in both branches.
That congress will have a busy session is demonstrated by the numbei of measures already Introduced. It i? estimated by officials of the house that over 3,000 bills have already beer introduced. There was much rivalrj for the honor of having Bill No. 1. no less than 15 members having asked for this precedence. The indications

are that the bin of Mr. Mc-Cleary restricting the sale of oleomargerine will be so designated when the records are made up. The bills took a wide range the Pacific cable bills, by Representatve Sherman of New York Corliss of Michigan, and Jones of Washington, gave varying phases of this project. Mr. Jones proposing the northern route via Puget sound, with an appropriation of $8,000,000, Mr. Corliss proposing a government built and maintained route, and Mr. Sherman offering the plan allowing private participation in the enterprise.
The opening day of the first session in the house of representatives furnished a spectacle that delighted the crowded galleries. The machinery of the hous« is cumbrous, and is set in motion by a laborious process, but the spectators yesterday evidently did not consider it tedious, as they clung to their places through the entire proceedings, which' lasted four and one-half hours, probably half the time being consumed in the monotonous calling of the roll. The organization of the house was accomplished accoiding to time-honored precedents.' Speaker Henderson was sworn in by General Bingham, the "father of the house," and after delivering a very graceful speech in recognition of the honor bestowed upon him he in turn administered the oath to the members elect. The usual committees were appointed to inform the president and the senate that the house was organized and ready to do business, a committee of throe, consisting of Messrs. Payne, Bingliam and Richardson was appointed to join a similar committee of the senate and wait upon the president and inform him that congress was ready to receive any eommunnication he might have to make, the rules of the last house were adopted after a slight jar, and then the biennial seat drawing occurred. This latter ceremony was robbed of much of its interest by the fact that under the new arrangement of seats there are more than enough to go round, and

do not suffer as they did on former occasions. The flower show which is is the greatest feature of ojjening day, was not as imposing as uiiual. More flowers than ever before \tere sent to members, but after the scat drawing the house adjourned before a third of them were brought into the hall.

The Philippines Are United States Territory Says CliieC Justice Fuller.
Washington, Dec. 3.—Opinions were rendered in the United States supreme court yesterday in the last two of the insular test cases. One of them was that known as the "Fourteen Diamond Ring Case," involving the relationship of the United States to the Philippine Islands from a tariff point of view, and the other, what is known as the Dooley case No. 2, involving the constitutionality of the collection of duty on goods shipped from New York to Porto Rico.
In the former case the court, through Chief Justice Fuller, held that the diamond rings brought in from the Philippines and over which the case arose, should have been ex-

.ipt from duty under the Paris treaty of peace, as that treaty made the Philippines American territory. The decision in the Philippine case followed closely that of the first Porto Rican ease of last term. In the Dooley case just decided it was held that the duty collected on goods carried from New York to Porto Rico was permissible, but that It was in reality a tax for the benefit of the Porto Ricans themselves rather than an export duty, as was claimed by the merchants who antagonized the government in the case. In both cases there were dissenting opinions concurred in by four of the nine justices of the court.
The decisions were rendered in the room of the senate committee on the judiciary, where the court is sitting temporarily, and owing to the limited space, there were comparatively few persons, and those lawyers, present. Tho delivery of the opinions in chief, with the reading of the dissenting opinions, consumed a little more than

the Essence
By Rev.
Dr. LYMAN I ABBOTT
OK LIKE. 1 have heard of men who think that strong wills are needed for men, but weak aud pliable ones for women. No!
THE STRONG WILL IS THE ESSENCE OF A STRONG CHARACTER.
The will is often compared to the helm of a ship, ll one could only set the helm when lie starts out from New York and steer a straight
course to Liverpool, navigation would lie an easy matter. Uut that we cannot do. The helmsman must stand with his hand on the helm ami must turn it to meet the deviation of ihe compass, the shifting currents, tho bailling winds. It is not possible to steer au undeviating course, but only a steady one, and one must be always shifting his helm in order to keep a steady course.
AN OBSTINATE MAN IS ONE WHO TIES THE HELM AND GOES TO SLEEP. THE STRONG WILLED MAN IS HE WHO HOLDS THE
HELM AND KNOWS WHEN TO CHANGE IT IN ORDER TO MEET THE CHANGING CURRENTS OF LIFE.
This is education—to get knowledge, to get regulated passions and appetites and desires and to get the strong will that gives us power over ourselves and masterful control in life. And nil life iB educative, for every stage in life is only preparation for another stage, and every problem in life is achieved only to have a ruoro dffficnlt problem given to its.
The boy brings the solution of his problem on the slate to Ilia teacher and asks, "Is the answer right?" The teacher says yes, rubs the figures off, hands the slate back and says, "Now you can take A harder problem."

It is generally believed that the finding in the Philippine case will lead to early efforts to secure legislation for the regulation of our commercial relations with those i3iands. As the Porto Rican opinion sustains the constitutionality of the Foraker act, no such necessity will arise wilii reference to Porto Rico.

Ins Defense at Work.
Washington, Dec. 3.—The defense in the case of Mrs. Lola Ida llonine, charged with the murder of James Seymour Ayres, yesterday began the introduction of testimony and placed 15 witnesses on the stand before tho court adjourned for the day. The line of examination showed that the purpose was to establish that Mrs. Bonine eviuced no particular partiality toward Ayres, and that her conduct and bearing toward him differed in no respect from that displayed toward other guests of the hotel.
Mjitler For Diplomats.
Washington, Dec. 3.—Mail advices from the Philippines are to the effect that the military authorities have been obliged to expel all the agents of English houses at Manila from the islands of Samar and Leyte, aH they have been engaged in trafllc. with rebellious natives. It is expected that the British consul will refer this matter to London for .instructions, but no serious trouble is apprehended.

In the meantime the documents in the case are filed at the mayor's office and are accumulating amazingly. They comprise written applications enough to create the impression that there are not more than a handful of citizens in Iho whole country less than seven feet high.
