is the opinion of men who watched the con-
test closely, as it is certainly the opinion of
Parson Davies and Peter Jackson. The
latter said this evening that he was in first
rate condition and hadn't been distressed a
bit by his exertions in the ring.
At the conclusion of the fight he was
driven TO his hotel There he ate light
lunch and drank glass of beer, while
some of the men who had won money on
him sat around him and quaffed champagne
until the sun ought to have shown himself.
The language of one of Smiths seconds,
Jack Harper, while Jackson was showering
blows without getting a return, was bad
enough to have thrown even a man who
was fighting for eS00 off his guard. That it
did not, showed Jackson's great GOODNESS.
Parson Davies said to might that jackson
was open to challenge from anyone in the
world.
Sullivan has dawn the color line around
him and could wrap himself in 1t If he saw
fit, but if he wanted to fight with Jackson
he could be accommodated. Negotiations
between Jackson and Slavin had been in
progress but had come TO naught. jack
son had been made handsome offer for
nine nights in London and another for two
weeks in Paris from December / 1t will
be decided today whether or not these Of
fers will be accepted. If Paris offer is
taken Jackson will at its conclusion start on
a tour through England, Scotland and Ire
land, after which he will sail for the United
States

FEARS OF BRITISH SHIPBUILDERs

In the Cronin Case.

New York, Nov. ia Washington special
says: Il have just returned from an inter
view with the President, in which the
silver question was discussed at consider
able LENGTH" said Senator Sherman. az
am not at liberty, of course, to report the
details of the discussion, but think it
pretty well settled that the next Congress
will be compelled to legislate further in
the interest of silver. 1 am not prepared
to state what will be the full nature Of the
legislation. II is an important one in which
politics does not enter. or at least should
not enter, as it is matter of finance IN the
interest of all classes of the people, rich or
poor My opinion is that whatever is done
nothing can be accomplished under two
years at least because the legislation is
such as might prove ruinous to the country.
While l have decided views as to what
should be done, I do not at this time care
to elaborate them, as the matter is sure to
come up in Congress and l may change my
mind after full discussion of the question"

Smith a Puddin, for Jackson.

Especial ID THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch ]
LONDON, Nov. 10. by cable to the
New York Herald Two OF the most
pleased men in London to-day were ''Par-
son" Davies and Peter Jackson. Peter
jackson is undoubtedly modest person,
though no white man has ever seen him
blush This may be on account of his
color. which is q tribe darker than polished
ebony. He was Just as unassuming this
evening. He had demonstrated that all
judges, or alleged judges, of prize fighting
wno claimed that he was "tapper," and
not hitter or "slugger, 'were mistaken
and didn't know what they were talking
about.
England has had few champions who
were as quickly and thoroughly vanquished
as Smith was, and she has never had a
schampion who made such a poor appear
Vance either before the battle was decided
or in the hour of defeat.
When Smith knew he was beaten man.
he deliberately cross buttocked jackson
and was promptly adiudged the loser by the
referee. He made what men of his class
call bluff that dropped him out of sight
in the estimation of those who love fair
play. He pulled off his gloves and at
tempted 10 make rush at jackson, who,
knowing he had won, had dropped his
iNGds to his sides. Seeing Smiths intent,
tSe Australian pulled off his left glove, but
could not loosen the right. Tear it off,
Parson Davies called out to him. Still the
glove would not come OFF, but Jackson
calmly remarked to those who held Smith,
''Let him come on; don't hold him" The
colored champion felt certain he could
"giVe Smith more than he wanted with
bare kIIuckles as well as with 4-ounce
gloves" OF course Smith did not come on;
he had not a decent blow left in MIN. That

ON THE WARPATH.
The Shooting of Two Piutes by Southern Utes
May Cause Serious Trouble.

DENVER, Nov. IA Durango, Colo,
special to the Republican says: News
reached here to-day of a quarrel between
"Old Hatch" chief OF the Piutes, and
Cowboy" and his seventeen-year-old
brother, sons of "Old Wash,'' of the South
ern Ute tribe, on the Blue Mountain range
near place called Double Cobblns. The
quarrel originated over Navajo blanket
which ''Old Hatch" accused Cowboy"
OF stealing. COWBOY" denied ali, and one
word brought on another until Hatch
started Tor his gun, whcreupon Cowboy
and his brother shot him dead. The Piutes
present then turned upon tue murdercrs
and killed both of them. This caused
great commotion among the Piutes,
who pulled up camp and scattered,
leaving their dead lying on the ground
where they fell. The Southern Utes, how
ever, returned and gathered large pile of
logs and placed COWBOY and his brother
thereon, together with their guns and
other personal effects and cremated them
at the same time killing twenty five horses
The latter ceremony was according to ira
dition, the Indians believing that in so
doing they assist in sending the spirits of
the dead Indians to the happy hunting
grounds. Fifty Piutes are now assembled
IN the Blue mountains and one hundred
warriors from the southern tribe have gone
to meet them and it is believed bloody
battle Will take place.

Apprehensions of British shipbullders.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-British shipbuilders
are placed in a serious position by the rise
in the price of iron and steel. Further a6-
vances are feared, and if this takes place
many firms will lose money on the contracts
now under way unless there is a speedy
fall in plates and raw material The prom
inence of this great British industry will
be seriously threatened, and the question
may be solved as to whether the American
flag may not resume its former position on
the seas. Much of the best steel used on
the Clyde and at Barrow comes from Spain,
and rumors that an export duty en- the pro-
duct is being considered by that power,
have created CONSERVATION.

PTTsBURG, Nov. 12.--Calvin S. Brice,
chairman of the Democratic national com

en- route to Ohio where it is said, he goes
to erter actively into the campaign for the
United States senatorship. When asked
about the senatorship he replied, just as
was expected: "Im not a candidate" and
then dismissed the subject. He was quite
nervous when the senatorship question was
preached, not strange for man who de-
clares, Pm not candidate"
'Foraker's unpopularity and the fact
that ne was a third-term candidate, were
of course elements in the causes of the
Republican defeat" remarked Colonel
Brice. 'tl3ut the question of the tariff also
had great deal to do with it" The colonel
then defined what he meant by tariff re-
form" He did not mean free trade, simply
tariff reform. 1.-The recent election is sig

colonel. "It shows that the people do want

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch ]
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov. 5.-The San
Salvador Debates publishes a sensational
story regarding an investigation of the
cause of the peculiar odor which had oc-
casioned so much comment and complaint
at the quarters of the national artillery in
that city. a medical commission ap-
pointed for the purpose of investigating at
once asserted that the odor was caused by
decaying human flesh. An exploration in
the cellars led to the discovery of more
than hundred skeletons which had been
concealed beneath the floors and many of
which were covered with not more than
six inches of earth.
The Debates asserts that they are the
skeletons of the victims of the late Presi-
dent Zaldivor, and that the sudden and
mysterious disappearance of many persons
who opposed Zaldivor's policy is fully OK
planned by these horrible discoveries
Zaldivor is the Honduras priest who was
sent over by Barrios and forced upon Sal
vador as president. After placing loan
of million and half of gold in the name
of the republic with an English banking
house near the close of his term he fled
the country, but stopped in London long
enough to draw the money, and went
thence to Paris. He is now IN Madrid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA committee
from the Catholic congress in session in
Baltimore waited on the President this
morning by appointment and presented him
with an address. The President received
them cordially, and listened carefully to
the reading of the address. The latter

Representing in a measure 100000 OF ogr
fellow clL.Ztns who share in the blessings and
privileges OF This government, devoted to lLs coli
stituliOn and laws. the congress desires to voice
and emphasize the loyalty and fidelity OF the
Catholic people of the United States TO the re
public and It's institutions, well as their re
Spect for the chief magistrate of the nation. On
the centennial of the establishment OF episcopal
authority in these United States the Catholics
OF America in their first congress assembled,
while rejoicing in the marvellous growth of their
faith on this soil and returning grateful thanks
to God therefor, feel the occasion emlnently fit
ting to voice also their heartfelt rejoicing over
the perpetuity and solidity of our civil insttu-
lions and the development of the spirit of re-
lgiouS liberty and tolerance and material pro-
gress and prosperity in our country. and through
you TO express to our fellow citizens of thus
great republic, in spirit of unity and brotherly
love, the desire that while pursuing the die
tates OF our conscience in serving God, to march
hand in hand in promoting the best
interests of our common country and the vel
fare of society. The congress bids this commit
tee while conveying TO you the expressions Of
their respect to say that it would be gratifying
pleasure and privilege to have the honor Of
welcoming you TO its sessions in baltimore.
In reply the President said he appreci-
ated the compliment paid him by the visit
as well as the truth of the sentiments ex-
pressed in the address in regard to the
fidelity of the Catholics of the United States
to the constitution and laws of the country
He regretted that his official duties would
prevent his attending the sessions Of the
congress, but he thought he could promise
them ne would be present at the opening of
the Catholic university near this city to-
morrow.
