YOUNG QPHILr SHERIDAN WAS FORCED TO RIDE A BROOM STICK AND SHOUT EXTRACTS FROM SHERIDAN'S RIDE. West Point, Dec. 28 The court of in quiry practically ended today 'taking testimswiv in regard to the alleged haz ing of Oadet Booz. The most' startling evidence introduced today was that in connection with the hazing of Cadet Maxs Arthur, son of Gen. MacArthur, after being hazed' into comviulsions and couldn't repress his cries of paim, the result of shattered nerves, he begged his fellow cadets, his recent tormentors among them, to stuff cotton into his mouth so the officers in the or mp -coiiM not hear his outcries. C det Pagram testified to this fact.' Thi star witnesses today were cadets Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur and Phillip S. Sheridan, son of Gen. Sheridan, who was compelled to ride a broomstick shouting stirring extracts from Sherridan's ride. Cadet Elliott J. Dent of Pennsylva nia, said he had been hazed when a fourth class man, but did not go to the hospital in consequence. He told of being punished tor rerusing xo re veal to the authorities of the acade my the names of the cadets who hazed him. "Did you know Cadet Booz?" inquir ed Gen. Clous. "He was pointed ou!t to me," said Dent, "and I was told that he was con sidered to be very worthless." Former Cadet John B. Doyle of Philadelphia, who was in the academy from 1898 to June 1900., testified: "I remember Cadet Booz. I spoke to him. after his fight with Keller. I told him he had not acted right in that bout DRUG ST0R MEWS. GEORGE E. B0GGS DEAD. Prominent Citizen cf WayDesville Passed Away Wednesday. George E. Boggs. died at his home near Waynesville Wednesday nighit. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Frank D. Hunt, in the Waynes ville Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was an elder. The remains were to be taken to day to Winnsboro, S. C, Mr. Bogg's former home, for in terment . George E. Boggs was a citizen woil known and esteemed throughout Western North Carolina. Industrially speaking, it was in the field of horti culture that he accomplished most for his section. He had an abiding faith in the- possibilities of this as an apple producing country, and hy his investi gations., advice and his nursery, from, which fine variety of trees were to be had at a noiminal price, he accomplished much for the advancement of the ap ple industry- His fruit has been Shown at numerous taars in various tpanus 01 the country, and- has taken a number of jarst prizes. Mr. "Rnte-a-5 was also nrominent In politics and was twice nominated for congress oh the populist ticket. He was about 52 years old. His 'wife sur vives. The following tribue was paid him by his pastor, Rev. Mr. Hunt: "He was a man of inter ne earnestness of -onvi tio?i and fearlessness- in main i.aindn'g his -convictions, wbetbf-r pop ular or not. I have known him inti mately for several years as his pastor, he 'being an elder in my church here, and I can say that he is a man of as hierh standard of honor and integrity as I have ever known. His conception of the value of his plighted word was akin to the chivalry of old and much to 'be admired in these degenerate days when the words of most men are so lightly spoken and loosely kept. In all the relations of life he has commanded the respect and confidence of his fellow irnen, however widely they may have differed with him in his opinions. He has maintained a standard of political cleanness and uprightness that has borne, and I trust Will still bear, fruit an all parts where his life is known. Morally and religiously he was the peer of any man in this county, and as for some days past I have been by his bedside he showed forth the most won derful manifestation of the power of God's grace to sustain that I ever saw. He was as calm and quiet as a child with no cloud on his spiritual or in tellectual horizon. Truly the last lines of Bryanlf s 'Thanatopsis' may be ap plied to him." KWANG SUS REFUSAL TO AC CEPT ITS TERMS NOT REGARD- ED AS FORMING SERIOUS BAR RIER TO PEACE. London, Dec. 28. A dispatch says that when the court was at Taiyuen Fu the dowager empress secretly ap pointed a new emperor, a boy of 15, with the title of Tung Su. The proc lamation announcing his election also contained a prohibition against pub lishing the new that a new emperor had been elected to the throne. This explains the 'permission given to the former emperor, Kwang Su, to return to Pekin. London, Dee. 28. A no.ifieatipii fromi the emperor of China informs the friends of the reform party that he is returning to Pekin and that he will require their assistance in the government. TERMS TOO HARSH. Washington, Dec. 28. The Chinese embassy here is without information on the report that Emperor Kwang Su does not approve the demands sub mitted by the powers. For some days, however, the view has prevailed in Chineses quarters that the ternns were so harsh that it would be difficult to secure their acceptance. A report was in circulation in diplo matic quarters that one of the Chineeer envoy was opposed to accepting -the terms, but it is not known whether this . report came from any authoritive source. The state department has received nothing -froim Mr. Conger to Indicate that the emperor opposed the accept ance of the peace terms. The officials here ntinue to be hopeful that there will be an early acceptance. The point. referred to as objectionable to the Chi nese chiefly the maintalnanee of the le.Tation guards are not reg-arded here ly to fom'' r -riov.s barriers to an fierce r"nr:t as all of th v. prob ably will give visible evidence, at an early day, of their purpose to reduce the legatioin guard as soon as China shows good faith in accepting the conditions.
