Paterson, N. J., Jan. 15. The trial

Before the trial was begun n was
Xpected that at least two days would
be necessary to complete the jury, but
Judge Dixon carried the pin.' dings
on with such Vigor that will, in an
hour after the court was called to or

and beard the opening lines of tl u ad

telling fully of the Incidents Jusi pre
vious to the girl's disappearance,
ot the four witnesses the testimony
of Schulthorpe was the most i: ,iort
nt. as well as the most startling. In
his crude, unvarnished way he told to
tie minutest detail the story of the
crime, He graphically described the
taking of the almost unconscious girl
from t!ii' saloon to his victoria and of
the ride out of the city and t!i im

With brutal roughness, without the
slightest attempt to conceal facts under

streets, Schulthorpe told the occur

Apparently little hi Bide th" murder
case was on the minds of the Paterson
people, nnd an hour before the time

little court house was surrounded by a
great crowd of peering, gossiping men
and girls, It was a ragged and idle

Washington, Jan. 15. The I'nlted
States supreme court yesterday an
nounced its decision in the case of C.
P. W. Neely, charged with embezzle
ment of the public funds of Cuba while
uctinK as financial agent of the depart
ment of posts of that island, holding
that Neely is subject to extradition.
Justice Harlan handed down the court's
opinion, which was unanimous, and
Immediately after the opinion was
conclude. I an order was Issued requir
ing that the mandate in the case be is
sued at once.
The opinion embraced a complete re-
'lew of the case, explaining Neely'a
crime and arrest and his effort to pre
vent extradition lo Cuba. The opin
ion also detailed (he laws relating to
extradition and quoted the act of June
C, 1900, extending the provisions of
section u.l'Tli of the revised statutes to
foreign countries which is "occupied
by or under the control of the United
Stales." go as to make the law cover,
among other (rimes, embezzlement in
Btich countries. Relating that the cir
cuit court for the southern district of
New York, to which an application for
a w rit of habeas corpus bail been made,
had rendered a decision adverse to
Neely's claims, Justice Harlan said be
had then appealed to this court on the
ground that the act of June tl, 1900,
was unconstitutional.
Announcing the court's conclusions
on the status of Cuba Justice Harlan
said :
"The facts above detailed make it
clear that Cuba is foreign territory
within the meaning of the act of June
f, 1900. It cannot L regarded in any
constitutional, legal or Internationa1
sense a part of the territory of the
United States. While by the act of
April 25, 1898, declaring war between
this country and Spain, the president
was directed and empowered to use our
land and naval forces, as well as the
militia of the several states, to such
extent as was necessary, to carry the
act into effect, that authorisation was
not for the purpose of making Cuba an
Integral part of the I'nlted States, but
for the purpose only of compelling the
relinquishment by Spain of its author
ity and government in that island and
the withdrawal of its forces from Cuba
and Cuban waters.
"Cuba is none the le-;s foreign terri
tory within the meaning of the net of
congress because it is under a mili
tary governor appointed by and repre
senting the president in the work of
assisting the inhabitants of that isl
and to establish a government of their
own under which, as a free and hide
pendent people, they may control their
own affairs without interference tiy
other nations. The occupancy of the
island by troops of the United States
was the necessary result of the war.
That result could not have been avoid
ed by the United States consistently
with the principles of international law
or with its obligations to the people
of Cuba.
As soon as the war department Is of
ficially informed of the supreme court
decision steps will he taken to secure
the prisoner's removal to Havana for
trial. Neely is now in custody in the
Ludlow stnet jail, New York, pending
the hearing of civil proceedings
against blra on the charge of having
broimht stolen goods into the slate of
New York. Steps will bo Instituted to
vacate the civil proceedings and se
cure the transfer of the prisoner, who
will be taken to Havana on a govern
ment transport.
THE DEADLOCK IN DELAWARE
Snulaltnry. Daioiratle Senatorial
Koiiiliirc. Tlilakn H 111 Continue.
Dover, Del., .Ian. 15.- Two caucuses
were held last night over the contest
for United States senators from Del
aware. The Democrats met early in
the evening and transacted their busi
ness with . in prising dispatch. Will
ar.l Saulsbury was nominated for the
senatorial vacancy caused by the fail
ure of the last legislature to elect a
since sor lo Senator George Cray. For
the full term to succeed United States
Senator Richard R. Kenney Mr. Ken
to y was nomin ited, and tin1 Democrats
resolved to stand togi tber.
The 29 Republicans did not come ti
any agreement, and a long deadlock
seems inevitable. The Addlcks men
issued a call and urged a conference ol
all Republicans, but only lti assembly
men answered by meeting in the sen
ate chamber late last night, The Ad
dlcks nn n had calculated on two oth
ers elected as Independent Republicans
and four regular Republicans answer
ing their roll call, and this would havi
given them within live votes of tin
necessary '-'7. As they stand today,
however, they are 11 short. Six of the
Republicans who did not attend the
mi ting are said to be pledged rather
than leave vacancies in the United
States senate. The 10 who caucused
unanimously nominated John Edward
Addlcks for senator, and he will he
Voted for on both short and long term
ballots.
Wlllard Saulsbury believes that Del
aware will have two vacancies in the
i'nitid States senate.

London, Jan. 14. The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener:
"Pretoria, Sunday, Jan. 13: About
1.400 lioers crossed the line, attacking
both Zuurfonteln and Kaalfontein sta
tions, but were driven off. They are
being pursued by a cavalry brigade."
Lord Kitchener reports also several
skirmishes at different points, with
trilling Hrltish losses, and adds:
"Three agents of the peace com
mittee were taken as prisoners to De
Wet's laager, near I.inuiey, Jan. 10.
One. who was a British subject, was
Hogged and then shot. The other two,
burghers, were floggtd by De Wet's
orders."
Last Friday night the liners cut the
wires P. t ween Irene and Olifantsfoti
tein statiors. Early Saturday morn
ing 800 Doers, under Command inl
Beyer, invested Kaalfontein station. A
hot rille lire and shell fire, with two
Held pieces and a Maxim, was main
tained for six hours.
An armored train and relnforce
ments were sent from Pretoria but be
fore they arrived upon the scene the
garrison had driven oil' the Doers, who
retired unmolested with a transport
train half a mile long. The Doers blew
up the line beyond Kaalfontein, com
pelling the mail train to return here.
ll is supposed their object was to ob
tain supplies, a great quantity of which
is stored .at Kaalfontein.
The British had no casualties.
The brief report of the fate nf the
three members of tin peace commis
sion exc ites the deep, st Indignation
on all sides. One or two papers ex
press a hope that Lord Kitchener has
been misled by false Kaflir reports, but
it Is generally felt that he would not
have reported the matter to the war
office without undoubted evidence.
The Dally M ill head.- the report with
the wold "myider." and declaims
against any further attempt to coax
the enemy into submission. "De Wet
has placed himself outside the pale of
humanity," says The Dally Mall, "and
not proclamations, bul large reinforce
ments must be our watchword'
The Morning Tost says: "This
marks the point where the guerilla
phase ends and the bandit phase be
gins." Ail the papers appeal strongly to the
government to hurry forward rein
forcements, since it Is evident that the
Boer leaders have now become des
perate and conciliation is quite useless.
The Pretoria correspondent of The
Dally Mail announces the return to
Pretoria of Mr. PretoriUS, a former
president of the late South African re
public, from a futile endeavor to per
suade the Doer leaders to sureruder.

Grand Rapids, Mich., .Ian. 16. P, I.
Wessels. one of the Doer envoys to
this country, yesterday said regarding
Gen. Kitchener's dispatch as to the
Hogging of three commissioners by
(Jen. De Wet near Lindley last week
and the shooting of one of them: "I
am certain the report is false. Such
an act is contrary to Gen. De Wet's
character and contrary to the nature
and policy of the Hoers."

fart that the police declare positively
hal tliey have arrested all those who
