It came to this court from the Kentucky Court of Appeals. The opinion was handed down by Justice Brown, and the Kentucky court's judgment In favor of the State was affirmed Justice Drown stated that In this case the railroad company had attacked the statute or: the ground that It was unconstitutional and that it was an Interference with Interstate commerce. Without replying t-peelf.cally to this objection, the Justice said there is a sufficient compliance with the law if a separate coach for local colored passengers is attached to a train while passing through the State. The Court of Appeals of Kentucky had Itself, he said, relieved this court of the necessity of passing upon the question as to whether the law required a separate coach tor interstate passengers of color.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) price of Mexican uolars and he submits two suggestions; one that tne United States coin a special dollar for use in the islands of the same weight and fineness of the Mexican dollar which shall take Its chance with the iluctuatlon of the market. The other suggestion is that we coin an Insular dollar which we undertake to redeem In gold at 50 cents. He inclines, as does the secretary of the treasury, toward the second course. The campaign of the United States troops In China is treated at length in the report. The secretary reviews In detail the rapid and effective steps by which the American forces were transferred in a great emergency from the Philippines and from this country to Taku and thence how they forced their way to Peking. He includes all the interesting dispatches passed between General Chaffee and the War Department during that period, which were published by the department from time to time, and speaks in terms of praise of the splendid conduct of the troops and of their able officers. Touching Cuba, the report says the conduct of affairs there during the year has been a continuance of the process of aiding the Cuban people in the development of the Cuban government in such a way that when fully organized it shall be stable and efficient. This has been done by guiding the Cubans in the first steps of systematic self-government, and by Introducing, mainly through Cuban officers, such teforms in administration as shall serve to put the business of government In fairly good condition, when a complete Cuban administraton finally asumes control of the rovernmcnt of the Island. The report feketches the various steps in the creation of the government down to the gathering of the constitutional convention which Is now In session. Treating of the subject of education, Secretary Root speaks with pride of the development of the primary branches, showing that in the first six months of the calendar year the number of schoolrooms was Increased from C35 to 3.55D and the enrollment of scholars ran up from 37.933 to 143.120. The report also tells how the charities of the island have been brought into systematic condition and the hospitals improved. In concluding his remarks as to Cuba he says: "Only a doubt as to the stability of the future government nnd uncertainty ns to the continuance of a market for her products retards the Influx of capital, and the development of Cuba's extraordinary resources. It Is to bo- hoped the wise action of the present constitutional convention will speedily resolve these uncertainties and establish the prosperity of Cuba on a firm foundation." In Porto Rico, where the army controlled, up to the 1st of May, Its principal function was the Improvement of the civil administration, accustoming the people to the exercise of the powers of government and continuing the work of relief made necessary by the deplorable condition in which the island had been left by the great hurricane. The health of the army 1? said to have
improved steadily since the close of tho Spanish war, and now that the Philippine troops are garrisoned in good quarters it is hoped that the death rate from disease will continue to fall so that it will reach the normal of the United States. The secretary says that the military requirements in the Philippines may be summed up as follows: For the immediate future about :0,0! men. This number may be progressively decreased by the gradual disappearance of real insurrection and the restoration of order and by the substitution of native troops, costing less than half to support. At no distant day the islands themselves will be able to pay for their own police protection. Provision should be made, therefore, for a minimum force of Cn.OOO, with an authorized maximum of 100.V0 and with authority to use native troops in place of American soldiers.

The secretary of war forwarded to-day to the House committee on appropriations a comparative statement of War Department estimates fcr the fiscal years of 1901 and 1302, together with a statement of appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1001. The estimates for 1501 amounted to $13,0!3.551 and the estimates for i;02 amount to $171,7T3,S35. The appropriations for the present fiscal year amount to $14S,205.034.

This Increase is accounted for by the fact that an aggregate sum of $20,000,000 Is Included in the present estimates for river and harbor work exclusive of continuing contract work for which no appropriation was made for the current fiscal sear, and by an increase of $2,238,00) in the estimate for gun and mortar batteries and an increase of J2.356.3IiS in the estimate for armament of fortifications.

Wnldersee's Operations Only Inerensinif I'eelliisr Agaiimt Foreigners. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.-Kwan Chang, an attache of the Chinese legation here, In a formal interview to-day, said: "It is futile for the field marshal, Von Waldersee, to send into the interior expeditions, tho presence of which only irritates the natives and increases their animosity toward the Europeans. The Emperor will not return to Peking as long as loreign troops, beyond the legation guards, are there. Should it be necessary the Emperor will fly farther than Si-Ngan-Fu. "I do not believe the United States Intends to negotiate apart from the other powers. The Interests of all the powers including the United States compel them to act in concert. Consequently, it is improbable that Mr. Conger will be secretly instructed to act apart from the representatives of the other countries. I believe the powers will soon reach an agreement. China is anxious to conclude peace, a this condition of affairs means the ruin of commerce, the gradual annihilation of public welfare and the devastation of Peking and other towns and villages." MISSIONARIES AHE RITTER. Opposed to Dealing; Leniently China Wants Penee nt Any Prlee. PEKING, Dec. 3. All the foreign envoys have now heard from their governments regarding the joint note to the Chinese plenipotentiaries and a meeting will be held to-morrow. The envoys are not communicative, but enough is known with reference to the objections of different governments to make It seem doubtful that the meeting will have a satisfactory conclusion. Prince Ching and Li 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 independent nation, but they point out that so long as a large foreign army occupies the province of Chi-Ll the problem will be harder to solve. The misionaries 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 executed. And they insist also that a sufficient force should be kept in China to guarantee order and to keep foreigners independent of the Chinese, declaring that if this is not done, a repetition of the trouble will occur.

SENSITIVE WOMAN. There is a wonderful little tropical plant. A the mimosa or jsensitive plant as it is called. The curious thing about it is that if you pinch any part of the root or the stem, all the delicate little branches and fragile leaves will curl up and shrink together as if they had been blighted with a sudden frost. Woman's delicate and sensitive oriranism is re markably like this little plant. If the very roots of a woman's life are injured or diseased, her whole being suffers, both physical and mental. She shrinks within herself and covers up her sufferings enduring all in silence as best she may. " My son's wife had been for years s great sufferer; -all broken down and very weak and nervous." says Mrs. Betsey M. White, of Stonycreek, Worren Co., N. Y. " She was troubled with all the pains and aches one so slender could endure. She took everything she heard of, hoping to get help, but in" vain. The doctors said she could not live to have another child as she came near dying so many times. She tried Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it did wonders for her. "This spring she had a nice boy weighing eleven pounds; she got through before we could fret anyone there. I was afraid she would not ive. We cried for joy when we saw how nicely she got along. I cancot say enough in praise ol your 'Favorite Prescription. I never sent a recommendation of a medicine before. I hope all women will try it. May God bless you for the good you have done." Any woman mav write to R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, "N. Y., in absolute confidence. Her communication will be thoroughly and earnestly considered and she will receive sound, professional, fatherly advice (in a plain sealed envelope) free of charge. OSCAR L. BC0Z DEAD. Youur Man AYho Is Alleged to Have Heen Huzed nt West Iolnt. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3. Oscar L. Booze, a former cadet at West Point Military Academy, who has been lying at the point of death at, Bristol, Ta.. suffering from Injuries which his parents claim were the result of a hazing at the academy over two years ago, died to-day in great agony. The cause of death was throat consumption. It Is alleged by the young man's father that Tobasco sauce was poured down his son's throat while the cadets were hazing him. The father also claims that red pepper was thrown in his eyes, hot grease was poured on his bare feet. a. tooth knocked out and that other fiendish methods were indulged in. Shortly after this, the father says, Oscar, because of his physical condition, was compelled to resign his cadetshlp. The young man grew steadily worse, but never would divulge the names of the cadets who ill-treated him. His parents told him it was his duty to tell, but his only answer was, "I went there expecting to take whatever medicine should be given, and it would not be right to complain against the other boys." Col. Mills's Statement. "WEST POINT, N. Y., Dec. 3. Before the death of young Booz, at Bristol, was announced to-day, Col. Mills, superintendent of the Miiitarq Academy made the following statement: "The many statements made in the press of the country alleging that Oscar L. Booz was atrociously hazed while he was a cadet at the Military academy to such an extent that he is now dying from its effects are untrue and ridiculous. Ex-Cadet Booz was admitted to the Military Academy, June 20, 1SDS, and resigned Oct. 31, 1S9S. He was on sick report but once, on July 30, when he was excused from the drills for that day on account of diarrhoae. He had been brutally beatth in a right with another cadet or had his throat been Injured In the manner claimed it would have been Impossible for him to have avoided the sick report. The reason given for his resignation was weak eyes. His record shows he was In the last section in mathematics. The marks he received to the date of his resignation were deficient. I believe there lies the real cause of his resignation, and I think it moat probable that stories of. his alleged ill treatment arise from statements he has made in endeavoring to explain to his friends why he left the academy. He made no complaint of ill-treatment at the hands of other cadets. He was under orders to do so if such was accorded him. From inquiries made I 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." Those who were class mates of Cadet Booz concur In the statement of Colonel Mills. Among his classmates, who are still cadets, Booz was not a favorite. He was molested but little by other cadets who did not like him. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Mrs. McKinley will leave New York for Washington at 3:13 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.

DON'T NEED REST. Starved Xerree Aeed Food. A food that will naturally stimulate and nourish a man so weak that be cannot feed himself, must have instrinslc merit and be worthy the attention of any person with a weak stomach. S. D. Horine, of Grinncll, Ia., writes: "By pure food seems to me the true way to get well. After a long time at one of the best equipped sanitariums, without benefit, I was put under a famous doctor who said that I did not need rest bo much as I needed rich pure blood, made from pure food, and I was put on Grape-Nuts. "At that time I had to be lifted from my bed like a baby. This. w:as only a few weeks ago. Now I can walk, read, write, and perform many little tasks. I have not fully recovered my strength, by any means, but I have made a most wonderful progress .on Graie-Nuts food. It leads me to the knowledge that nervous prostration is simply nerve starvation. The nerves are prostrated because they are starved. A starved man does not need rest, but he needs food. To be sure the famished nerves are forced to rest, but rest cannot restore them. They can build up on food alone. With my first meal of Grape-Nuts food I was too weak to feed myself, but after partaking of the food, a hopeful spirit, almost amounting to buoyancy, possessed me. "I can account for the Fpeedy effvet cJ the food on no other ground than that it is so easily digested that only a little tlna and force is required to prepare it fcr tiro blood, whereas ordinary food requires to much force to dijtt it that it exhacita what strength a we; : 'c man hns &r.l l:av: the food undigested. ready tor d?cc:osltlon, and changes what shouM ti r food, Into a veritable pc'.ron.
