The great battle between Harry Walton,
of Philadelphia, and Cal Mccarthy, Of
Jersey City, to decide the American cham
pionship in the bantam weight class, took
place at Gloucester, Burlington county,
N. j.. on the night of the 25th. The con-
ditions of the contest called for fight to
finish, Queensbury rules, skin tight gloves,
for the bantam championship of America
and purse of $3.50. Mccarthy fought a
clever battle and knocked Walton out in
the fifth round. The knockout was one
Of the strangest ever witnessed. Walton
dived from one end of the ring to the
other and then ended by rolling all over
the floor. He is 2l years of age, 5 feet 2
inches tall and'weighed ia pounds. Wal
ton had fought draw with Tommy War

weighed 1i0a pounds. The fight lasted

There was disturbance among the
canal laborers yesterday at Culebra.

About 1900 struck work, and, joined by
the rabble.' tried to prevent, by force,
others from working. They entered the
trenches and drove them from the works.
The small military force Oh hand was un-
able to keep order, and there was much
excitement and business was suspended
Reinforcements will reach Culebra to-day,
and it is expected that order will be re-
stored after the ring leaders are arrested.

Mistakes ofPresidential Electors.


rived in Washington on the 2lst with the
ballot Of the Texan electors, accompanied
by Senators Coke and Reagan. He pre-
sented himself before the President pro
TEN, Ingalls,. To his surprise, Mr.. Ingalls,
after glancing at the envelope, formal ly
refused to accept the vote, stating as his
reason that the law provided for the Off
cial endorsement of the envelope, by the
electors, and that the envelope Just pre-
sented to him not having their endorse
ment could not be technically and legally
distinguished from any one of the numer
GUS messages and letters which daily
crowded his desk. Senator Coke there
fore Immediately wired the Governor of
Texas to reconvene the electoral college OF
that state in extra session, and two hours
later the electoral messenger from Texas
was or his way back to Austin. where he
will probably arrive in time to take part in
the special session of the Texas electors.
Mr.. Ingalls, served the same notice on
Senator German, of Maryland, the electors
of that state having also neglected to en-
dorse the envelope containing the certifi-
cate. Mr.. German telegraphed the Gov
ernor of Maryland to call the electors in
extra session. Finally Mr.. Ingalls, notified
Senator Gray, of Delaware, that the certi-
fcate from his state was not in proper
shape, and call will also be issued by the
Governor of Delaware for the re-conven-
ing of electors. All this delay and extra
expense is caused by the neglect of the
electors to sign their names on the enve-
lopes as provided by law.

A vict1ey for the Law.


In the United States court at Des
Moines on the 23d decision was rendered
in m important railroad case and an ex-
han tive opinion filed by Judge Brewer.
Last summer jobbers Of Des Moines com
menced suit in the district court to en-
lfGFoe, ,penaltifs against Aha Rock 1slAasl,s
Z 48urlinRkon and Northwestern railroads
aggregating $l00, 900 under the new rail-
road law. The defendants answered and
at the same time filed petition for re-
moval to the federal court on the ground
that they were cases arising under the con-
stitution of the United States. The at
torney general moved to remand to the
state courts, setting forth as a reason that
they are not suits of a civil nature. and as
civil suits involving $4,000 on each case
they could net be taken 70 the federal
court. Judge Brewer confines himself to
description of the nature of the suits as
to being civil or criminal. The suits were
brought under an act providing that if a
railroad corporation is guilty of extortion
it shall forfeit and pay the state not less
than 81 900 or more than $4,000, to be re-
covered in a civil action by ordinary pro-
ceedings instituted in the name of the state
of Iowa. The form of the proceedings
were undoubtedly that of a civil suit, but
the court fully discusses the meaning and
purposes of the lawmakers, and reaches
the conclusion that in fact the penalties
for injuries to the public, rather than com
pensation to the aggrieved parties. and
thus the statute does really enforce crimi-
nal punishment under and by civil pro-
ceedings. Thus holding that the statute
is criminal one, he remands the cases to
the state court. His decision will have
great effect on the railway contest now go
ing on and is quite victory for the law.

The X. of L.. Losing Ground.

Astounding statements are made by well
posted people concerning the decline of
the Knights Of Labor, and if one half of
what is said is true, the order can never
recover its strength and influence. Little
more than two years ago there were over
10000 Knights in good standing in Chica-
cago. To- day there are less, so 1t is
claimed. than 1900. In support of this
allegation facts and figures are given. The
stock yards districts, which prior to the
memorable eight hour fight had $4,000
members now has less than 200. District
Assembly "a has declined from 200 assem-
blies and 5000 members to II assemblies
and $40 members in good standing. Local
1857 has dropped from 1900 to 80, and the
tin and sheet iron workers assembly has
returned its charter within a week because
a quorum of members could not be gotten
together at any meeting. OF the men who
have drifted away from the parent organi-
zation very few have abandoned trades
unionism altogether. Several thousands
have joined the various carpenters unions,
others have organized independent associ-
tions. and good many have already given
in their allegiance to Barrys new order.
The switch yards men have strong or
ganization without outside affiliations and
are preparing for a renewal of the eight
hour conflict Oh May l.

would follow. There is no nation that
cares to go to war with us. So long as
they can accomplish their purposes and
defraud us of our own rights through the
medium of diplomacy, they do not need to,
but under no circumstances should we
avoid war by weak and pusillanimous
policy."

They Had q Rich Harvest,

The corps of surveyors that came into
Boone. Iowa, with their plausible scheme
for railroad from Boone to St. Paul, are
in durance vile. They had row among
themselves and one Of the party gave the
scheme away. The fellows are out on
their own hook running this survey, and
demanding donations for locating depots,
etc. They have had rich harvest. getting
considerable money from the towns
through which they passed, and securing
some in Boone. On the information filed
before Justice Franks, Charles Evans, the
leader of the surveyors, was arrested. and
he is now charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. The sum collected
in Boone amounts to about $3.50, but
more would have been obtained but for the
capture.
