WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Cam
den of West Virginia said to-day of the
presidents course:

ter of appointments, but we are ourselves in
a great measure to blame for this. We have
not agreed always upon what ought to be
done. 1t will finally be seen. l think, that

will be out, and the party will see that the
president is a good Democrat and has acted
wisely
What important matters do you expect
will be considered by congress this winter?"
There will be some action taken with re-
gard to the tariff and the silver question.
think there will be reduction in the tariff
and a modification of the tariff laws. On the
silver question there will be some compro-
mise. Nothing will be done that will injure
the standing of silver as money. bnt there
will be proper adjustment. The question
will be handled in a conservative way, and if
it is necessary to suspend silver coinage for
awhile, it will be done in such way as not
to affect the standing of the metal
1t will be noticed that Senator Camden
is as lucid as his colleagues when he talks
about silver. Oh, yes, something will be
done. but nothing will be done that will in
jure the standing of silver as money. Its
coinage may be reduced or suspended for a
time, but that, of course, will not injure its

Rurke and C,eary.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-A glove con-
test between Jack Burke of England and
Mike Cleary of Pittsburg, champion middle
weight of America, came off this evening
here. The match was eight rounds. Mar
quis of Queensberry rules, the winner to
take two-thirds and the loser one-third of
the gate receipts. Four thousand per-
sons were present. The manager an
nounced, prior to the appearance, of
the men, that promise made to the 'au-
thorities and terms of the license granted,
the contest would be confined to scientific
exhibition. Charles Rooney was chosen
referee. Cleary was first to appear and
was loudly cheered. He was followed in a
few minutes by Burke. Both men stripped
well, although the general verdict was in
favor of Burke.
Time was called at 1923. After light
sparring for an opening Burke led off with a
heavy body blow on Cleary, quickly followed
by another on his right ear. Cleary reached
out and tapped Burke lightly, then returned
with heavy right blow on Burke'S stomach.
In the second round Cleary led off, catoh-
ing Burke under the right arm. Burke re-
turned the compliment taking Cleary on the
left ear. This was followed by heavy over
cut. After few moments Cleary rushed in
and gave Burke stinging blow.
Both men came up lively for the third
round. Burke drove Cleary into his corner,
where they both clinched. Cleary closed the
round by getting in his right heavily on
Burkes ear.
Fourth Round-Burke feinted, following ii
up by lightly tapping Cleary's ear, which was
followed by rattler on Cleary's nose.

Killed Throug n mistake.

FORT SMITH, Ark. Nov. 23.-A horri-
BILE crime was committed near Santo, Choc-
tow Nation, Saturday night. An old and
bitter feud has long existed between Sandy
Walker and Sam Fulsom, both prominent
Choctaws and desperate and dangerous
men. They have both sought an opportu-
nifty to kill each other, and a short time
ago, while Walker was at his home, play
ing on the lounge with his little child, a
would-be assassin, supposed to be Fulsom,
fired upon him through the window, but
succeeded in only inflicting 4 flesh wound.
With the intention of killing Fulsom,
Walker went to the house of Lewis Lucas.
where Fulsom stopped Saturday night, and,
creeping up to the bed where he was sup
posed to be sleeping, opened fire upon the
PROSTATE form in bed, thinking it was Full
som. He fired several shots in rapid sue
cession, two of which took effect in the
body of the sleeper, who was Lucas wife,
and one shot seriously wounded tive-year-
old child. sleeping by its mother. After
this Walker escaped and as he is feared
throughout the Nation, twill be hard to
capture him. for he will never surrender.

HARDLY NECESSARY.
A Little Scheme to Favor GEN. Sheri'
dan That will Hardly Work.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-s'I don't know
anything about the reported scheme to re-
vive the position of general of the army
with the view of securing the appointment
of Gen. Sheridan to it and the promotion
of Gen. Hancock to be lieutenant general, :"
said a prominent army officer. IF there is
such a scheme on foot" he continued,
those engineering it had better be careful
that they do not make mistake in their
calculations. They should bear in mind, if
the office is created. the duty of filling it
will devolve upon the president In view
of the fact that Gen. Hancock has seen
seven or eight years more service than
Gen. Sheridan, that he outranks him
as brigadier and as major general in both
the volunteer and regular service, and
that he is and has been for years Demo-
crat OF such prominence as to deserve what
ever favors that can be showed by the
Democratic party, it would not be at all un-
likely that the president would select him
to be general of the army, if he had oppor-
tunity, leaving Gen. Sheridan where he is
now. But then," continued the officer,
there is no need for such a grade in time
of peace. 1t should be kept for time of
war. that it may be means of rewarding
such special deeds of gallantry and merito-
rious service as were performed by Scott
and Grant. There is no need for general
of an army of $4,000 men. The whole
army is no larger than the command of a
major general should be-"

lightly, the previous heavy work having told
OF their wind.
In the seventh both got to work quickly,
Cleary being
first to tell with another heavy body blow
He followed this up by heavy right-hander
on Burke's ear. Both then clinched. Some
heavy blows were exchanged. While this was
going on Burke got Cleary under the chin and
held his head in that position. Cleary's Sec
ond jumped into the ring and claimed foul,
but this was disallowed by the referee.
In the eighth round Burke jumped quickly
forward, evidently determined to force the
fighting. He again drove Cleary on to the
ropes, where they again clinched and ex-
changed heavy blows. Cleary then led Off
and gave Burke terrible blow with his right,
gashing him over the left eye.
When time was called the referee de-
clined to give the match to either. The an
nouncement was received by the audience
with tremendous cheering. After con-
sultation ninth and last round was per-
mitted.
Both men jumped quickly from their COR
ners, and after few passes lunged heavily
but without damage. Cleary then adopted
his body tactics and got in terrible blow on
Burke'S left side. Burke countered, both
clinched and again there was a heavy ex-
change of blows.
When time was called the audience again
cried: go on," but the police refused to
permit it, amid the jeers of the crowd. The
referee decided it draw. Burke's sparing
was much admired, but opinion is divided
on the respective merits of the men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Advices have
been received at the interior department to
the effect that the cattlemen in the Western
territories are generally observing the proc
lamation issued by President Cleveland last
August, directing the removal of fences in
closing public lands. In Wyoming, how
ever, the owner of cattle ranch has not
only refused to remove the fences already
constructed. but has began to extend them,
and in this case the attorney general has
been requested to begin suit to compel the
observance of the law. A point has been
raised as to whether cattlemen may tence
in their lands, when the tracts belong to
them. but surrounded areas of public lands,
and this point has been decided in the neg
atiye, the department holding that the pub
lie lands must not be restricted.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-The accidental
upsetting of a kerosene lamp in the rooms
of Otto Matobeck, on the third floor of the
five-story tenement. 404 East SiXty-fourth
street, early this morning, was the signal
for agonizing scenes of terror and death.
The house and one adjoining were filled

the neighboring factories. One hundred
and fifty people slept soundly when the cry
of fire was raised. This flames commune
Gated to the floors above through convenient
shafts. A scene of wild confusion and
panic ensued. The frightened tenants took
to the fire escapes with all haste. They
were given shelter by the neighbors while
the fremen were fighting the flames. This
was not an easy task, as the upper stories
and the roof were ablaZe and the flames
had spread to No. 406. ReinforcementS
were summoned and the fire was quickly
subdued. About 100000 damage was
done to the buildings and the property
of the tenants. There had been some
narrow escapes, and two women with
their children were reported to have
been slightly burned, but the firemen were
not prepared to find whole family smoth-
cred to death. In the rear room on the top
floor of No. 404 they came upon Mary

was made. A second search was made
but no other bodies have been discovered up
to o'clock this morning. A report spread
early among the homeless tenants that the
bouse had been deliberately set on fire by
one of their number. Henry Kohul, a
Bohemian cigarmaker was pointed out as the
guilty one. He had disappeared and did
not show up until later in the morning,
when he was arrested. By that time the
police had collected evidence to make a
charge of arson and murder against him.
The excitement of the Bohemians had be-
come furious rage, and threats of lynch
ing were made. Kohul is insured for 5000,
while his furniture is scarcely worth SIS.
The charge is that he set fire to the house
to get this money. The fire marshal began
taking testimony later concerning the origin
of the fire. From this it appeared that the
fire broke out in KohuPs room and kerosene
oil had been poured over the bed and floor.
The hallway and stairs were in flames and
the only way of escape for the tenants was
by the fire escapes in the front and rear.

Trying to Oust Bayard.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga number of
leading Democrats have urged upon the
president the necessity of making change
in the cabinet, so far as the department of
state is concerned, and prominent New
York Democrat had one or two converse
tions with the president on the subject last
week. He told the president that the bur-
den of criticism made upon his administra-
ton had been occasioned by Bayard's ap-
poiDtments; that his continued presence in
the cabinet would do more to render the
administration unpopular and unsuccessful
than any other one thing. This man has
since said that the president gave great
attention to what he said and plainly init
mated that he would not be unwilling to
get rid of Bayard if he could in way that
would not reflect too much on the secretary.
He was not over anxious to have him in
the cabinet in the first place. He had great
respect and regard for Mr.. Bayard. but was
willing to acknowledge that the secretary
had caused him more trouble than any other
member of his cabinet.

highwaymen, the victim being peddler

money. He handed over 81, which was
not satisfactory to the robbers, when one of
them compelled him to hold up his hands
while the other went through his pockets,
securing about $1,000. They then selected
the same value in silks and other fine goods
and jewelry from his wagon. The peddler
