PITTsBURa, March .12.--In answer to re.
peated requests for ruling as to the
method of electing congressional dele
gates to the next republican national
convention, B. F. Jones, chairman of the

expressed himself as being to old to enter
the ring, and said he would confine him
self to sparring and glove contests.
Sporting Life says:
"We never saw man fight fairer than
Sullivan did, Even when he was intention
ally spiked he only asked Mitchell to be
more careful. He has, we must admit,
fallen from his high estate, but his de-
thronement made man of him."
WHAT CHAMBERLAIN sAYs.I
LONDON, March 12.-In an interview
Mr.. Chamberlain, referring to the fisheries
treaty, said republican senate might not
be willing to allow the pres ent democratic
government to get credit for framing
successful treaty, but he did
not believe that the senate would
take the immense responsibility of re-
jecting the treaty. He anticipated, as
with the extradition treaty, that the SEN
ate would postpone the fisheries treaty
until after the presidential election. He
did not doubt, however, even if the treaty
should be rejected, that the settlement
now arrived at would be the settlement
ultimately selected.

determine all this, as many technical ques-
tions will be brought up for consideration
This accident, inside from question Of
carelessless, will likely settle many import
ant questions. The orders governing the
running Of the wrecked trains were some
what complicated. First, the order was to
run on time one hour and thirty minutes
late; then on time two hours and thirty five
minutes behind the schedule An order
also came revoking the right Of way Of the
Rock Island, which it was naturally en-
titled so, being an eastbound train.
This order, it is claimed by Wood, was
directed 70 be killed before the signature to
it came and he filed 1t away.
..'1t may be that will be held TO blame
because did not present this incomplete
order" said Mr.. Wood, ''but it was not my
duty, and only followed instructions"
Abrams, who is stationed at Pueblo, de-
mics having cancelled his order taking
from the Rock Island train the right Of
way and claims that the accident was due
to the failure on the part of Wood to do
liver the order Others explain the error
by the fact that practically two instruc-
tions were in the fatal order: ono as to the
running time OF the train and the other -
to the right of why. In revoking the right
Of way the order of time was necessarily
made invalid. 1t is alleged that instead Of
cancelling the time order alone, the dis
patcher practically cancelled with it the
order forfeiting the right Of way ef the
Rock Island.
