oldest eXpOnents of the fistic art who is still
in the arena, and one of the very cleverest,
withal. Physically, of course, Cardiff was
the superior, but in science the hOnors were
more even. Shortly after the match had
been arranged, betting was slightly in
favor of the famous eX-champion, owing to
his well-known powers as pugilist, and
renowned pluck and staying qualities. as
well as ability to send out the gloves with
vigor that is appalling to many who as
pire TO excellence in that line. But when
1t was shown that Cardiff meant business
and that he had gone into training in dead
earnest, public opinion experienced radi-
cal revolution, until at the rink, before Mas
ter OF Ceremonies John Donaldson an
nOunced that the ball was on, the betting
was two to one in favor of Cardiff, with no
takers. The revolution evidently fright
ened those who would have placed wagers
under ordinary circumstances. At all
events it is estimated that less than S1O0
was placed in the hall. Yet everybody an
ticipated close contest, and they did not
miscalculate to any particular degree.
The program was opened by lively
four-round contest between Eli Cromwell
and Phil HOlscheT. Cromwell is the wrest-
Ter, and last nights appearance with the
gloves was one of his first before a Mime
apOlis audience. He is better wrestler
than boxer. Holscher is an active young
stOnecutter and candidate for fistic hOnors.
The contest was hot, but devoid of
especial science. They were followed by
Patsy Mellen, the hero of three prize bat
ties, an1 Christie Murphy. who was vic
tOrious in several ''gOs' to finish in the
South year ago. The exchanges were
pretty strong and many clever stops were
made and occasionally they got in close
quarters and did some shOrt-arm work.

BERLIN, March 5.-A prominent gentle
man, who was guest at Tuesdays parlia-
mentary dinner, in reeounting to your cor
respondent several incidents connected with
it, stated that Prince Bismarck seemed to
have been in the best of spirits, and over
flowing with humor. The gentleman gave
it as his opinion that Bismarck's alleged
muscular rheumatism appeared to be moth
ing more than diplomatic ruse, for the
chancellor betrayed no signs of physical
weakness. After speaking on various topics,
Bismarck began to chaff the bimetallists in
good-natured manner, but it was plainly
evident that they Smarted under his Sar-
castle remarks and felt very uneasy at his
jOcular treatment of the silver question.
Your correspondents informant continued
by saying that Bismarck's demeanor had all
the appearance of an intention on his part
to dupe the bimetallists. Everybody here
believes that the dinner was given solely
for the purpose of keeping the adherents Of
bimetallism and the agrarian parties in
good humor and on the side Of the govern

Gladstone HASN'T Conferred.

LONDON, March Sit is authoritativelv
stated that Mr.. Gladstone has neither di-
rectly or indirectly consulted Mr.. ParneII
on the subject of home rule for Ireland,
Mr.. Parnell, IN an interview this afternoon,
declared that the statement was true.
Lord Harrington, III a speech at the
Eighty club this evening. insisted it was
necessary to obtain a clear statement Of
Irish demands and the assurance that any
proposals by responsible government
would be accepted by Mr.. Parnell and his
followers on the authority of the Irish peo-
pie. 1t would be unjust to Gladstone not to
be given such an assurance, as the Liberal
party was not pledged to anything APP
preaching home rule. Gladstone spoke for
himself, not for his party, though the party
would consider his proposal. Lord Hart
ington refused to pre-judge the government
or force its hand in order to gain prema-
ture expression of its policy.
Gladstone authorizes denial of the
newspaper reports that he has drafted a
home rule scheme and has shown it to
friends. Joseph Chamberlain and TreveI-
yam deny that they contemplate seeding
from Gladstone's party.
Lord Harrington admitted that five-sixths
of the Irish people demanded home rule.
but that fact, he said, ought not to initiate
against the protection of the minority. The
Parnellites might provide system of party
government but they should not be allowed
to impose their will upon parliament unless
parliament was convinced that their demand
was reasonable. Gladstone's attitude is not
inconsistent with his speeches eleven years
ago. His proposals were too important to
be decided by one man, however eminent.
The proposals must be subjected to the
fullest discussion. He (Hartington) would
do nothing to obstruct the settlement of the
Irish question. The country would not
forget that the Conservatives deliberately
preferred tenure of Office for a few
months to enacting measures of coercion,
thus greatly adding to the difficulty of any
succeeding government

Want the Flax Duty Removed.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Representa-
tive Phelps of New Jersey to-day intro
duced to the ways and means committee
several of his constituents who desire to-
secure removal of the duty on rough fax.
Mr.. Phelps explained that the rough flax
grown in this country could not be turned
into dressed fax suitable for use in the
manufacture of fine goods and all the
dressed fax used must of necessity be of
foreign importation. One of the workmen
said that the Western fax was of use only
for the manufacture of crash, twine. carpet
and other coarse goods. Mr.. Breckenridge
OF Kentucky remarked that it seemed these
people wanted the duty taken off the quail
ity of fax they used but maintained in the
quality used in other manufactures. James
Anderson of Patterson, Y. j.. said the
American flax could not be used for fine
manufactures and the removal of duty on
French, Dutch and Flemish fax would not
affect the price of the American product
He admitted that Russian fax might COM
pete with the American flax.

ruptcy bill reported to-day by the commit
tee are as follows: The provision for the
appointment of nine supervisors is stricken

emplary damages in cases, or through
malice. A clause is added to the effect

The Firm Come TO Time.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 5.-The Cigars Makers
union has scored a victory against the Chi
cago Cable cigar factory. A boycott had
been declared against the concern, in con-
sequence of some complications arising out
of reduction of the employees wages be-
low the scale. This had been ten months
in operation, and so severely had it been
felt lately that the leading partner of the
firm wrote to-day to the secretary of the
union Offering to surrender. The boycott
was then lifted. .ssAmong the concessions
drawn up and signed by the firm was an
agreement to employ none but union hands,
to compel all its present employees TO join
the organization. and to pay the scale of
wages laid down by the international union.

The Miners Must be Found.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 9Th e
situation at NanticOke is becoming critical.
Last week the officers of the Susquehanna
Coal company resolved to abandon the work
of rescue, and to leave forever entombed
the twenty-siX men and boys who went
down to their death at No. slope on Dec.
Is last. Against this decision the miners
of the Wyoming valley rebelled, and in
order to give expression to their feelings
about 500 of them from Nantico1e, Ashley,
Wilkesbarre and other places held mass
meeting at Nanticoke last night. 1t was
finally decided to send committee to Supt.
Morgan to-day, and to demand that the
work of rescue be continued. A resolution
was offered that all miners and laborers in
the employ of the company stop work and
refuse to enter the mines until the work of
recovering the bodies is commenced and it
was adopted without murmur of dissent.

TOMMY TODD.
BY GEO. CooPKR.

"Its Oh. to fight the Indians
Upon the prairies wide"
Said little Tommy Todd, one night,
Al on HE bed, without light,
His bosom sweled with pride.
"I'u fn my lunch box to the top;
With my beas.shootef true
III rescue some fair captive maidi
Hurrsh! I'm not BIT afraid
OF all the red akin crew."
He rose and donned his boots and CAP;
Peered cautiously about;
Then to his money boz he went.
Extracting froH il every cent;
Said he an be . SCOUT"

Those Indians to kill
I left lurid story book
To wander TO this cory nook;
I'm called there Blood Red Bill"
They climbed down from the windsw sill
All in the moonlight sheen;
They tramped along. In day. in dark;
He heard the lone coyotes bark,
That boy Of wariike mien.
"whoopl whoopI" fierce, blood curdiing cry
Now chilled him to the core,
He saw the Indians downward sweep;
And Tommy Todd commenced to weep
And sigh for home once more
"Cheer up, old pard I" yelled Blood-Red Bill.
"W ell scatter EN- like chafi

A hundred dozen sea ps took.
Don't boo hoo like q calf,'

Tommy pleaded, with a scream;
And, Wakened by the mlkman's shout,
Frem his warm bed he tumbled out,
And found 1t all dream
Now, iurid stories he esehews,
And warlike doesn't feel;
That peaceful sleep may close his eyes

soon begin to look shabby.
1t is estimated that some of the sacques
can be sold at a profit as follows: Made
of Lobos Island skins, $50; Japan
(known to the trade as cape. } and China,
SIS; Victoria Island, 500; and Cooper
Island, $l25. They are bought by the
New York manufactures at from S13 to
SIG per skin after being dyed and dressed.
1t requires from three to four skins to
complete sacque, according to the size.
The English dressed Alaska skins costs
from $40 to $50. dyed and dressed and the
cost of manufacturing a sacque is between
&25 and s35. Then there are the imita-
tons of sealskin in plush and kindred ma
terials, but these are not so popular as
formerly.
1t is considered in the trade that the
Hudson Bay otter skin, when plucked and
dyed, is fully as handsome and tar more
durable than even the Alaska sealskin.
These are all American dyed. Sacques
made from otter cost from $3.50 to $500.
Fur lined and trimmed sacques are also
growing in favor Mink and sable are
the popular furs for lining. and KAN

beaver and natural otter, unplucked, are
preferred for trimming. More expensive
trimmings are found in the silver fox
skin and the sea otter. The skin of sill
yer fox is worth $3.50, and of the sea otter
from $3.50 to $500.
The employees in fur manufactures can
command good wages Cutters average
800 month, and the sewing girls $40

In New York than any other city in the

ANTIOCH IN ROMAN TIMEs.-The bril-
liant side of Syrian affairs is the economic
side. In manufactures and trade Syria
takes with Egypt the first place among
the provinces. and even in some aspects
rises superior to Egypt. Agriculture
throve under the abiding peace and under
the intelligent system of irrigation to a
degree which shame modern civilization.
Even of districts which are
now mere deserts, and where it seems i'm
possible for men to live. great part was
formerly field of labor for industrious
arms. East of Hemesa. (Homs.) where
now you see no green leaf, no drop of
water, the remains of very numerous oil
presses are found. Travellers
from Hemesa to Palmyra now carry water
with them on camels; yet the road runs
all the way through the remains of villas
and towns. What Syria could do is best
seen in its chief town, Antioch, the town
which was ltill the founding of CONSTANT
nople) the chief city of the Eastern prov
nces, inferior in population only to Rome
and Alexandria, and perhaps to Seleucia.
OF course, it took an active
part in the trade and manufactures of its
province; yet it was the residence rather
of consumers than of producers. In all
ancient history there was no city in which
the enjoyment of life was SO much the
main point, its duties so purely seconda-
~. Antioch was superior to
any other city of the empire in the magni-
ficance of its public buildings and grounds.
Its chief street, of vast length. with broad
way bordered on both sides by colonnades,
running straight through the town along
the river. was initiated in many an ancient
city. but could not be matched even in i'm
perial Rome. Water was supplied to eve.
ry house in Antioch under the colon
nades you could walk all through the
town sheltered at any season of the year
from rain or sun; at night the streets
