AMERICAS GREATNESS.
Minister Phelps Makes a Fourth Of July
Speech in Berlin.

The American rifemen gave . brilliant BAN
quet at the kaiserhof in Berlin yesterday. Mr.
Weber presided. Among the guests were
United States Minister Phelps and wife, Wal
ter Damrosch and wife, ex-Controller John ].
Knox, Rev. DIR. Stuckenburg pastor Of the
American Church, and wife, and a number of
noted German marksmen. Mr.. Phelps speaking
to the toast to President Harrison, said that
Americas great danger arose from her i'm
mense material prosperity. President Harri-
son ruled tho richest nation on the globe, and
the strongest. From his lofty station he
saw more clearly than any one else
the full sweep of this incredible pros
perity. He was neither dazzled nor
shaken. He kept his poise, rugged and firm as
Washington, stunning the tempting paths Of
popularity, keeping the Puritan simplicity of
our fathers days, and having no aspiration ex-
cept to show that the man was greater than his
surroundings. that character was greater than
success. referring to estimates that $780, OO0.-
OOO was spent by Americans yearly while trav-
ellng In Europe, he said that although nothing
the custom house can show was a return re-
ward, yet there was n certain reward in the
ampler knowledge and experience gained,
which these Americans turn to USE "Any one
OF them, he said, can learn enough in Ger
many alone to pay his part of these millions"
Next abiding 10 the American home life as
the sweetest and purest on earth, the speaker
SAID he thought, however. that the travellers
present would find that the Germans made
home life fuller taking their families into their
pleasures and amusements and many taking
them into their business

They Will Probably Put Up Candidate
For Governor In South Carolina.

Columbia, SC. special to the Philadelphia
Press says: The present indications are that
for the first time in ten years republican
state ticket will be in the field in South Caro-
lima in a short time. 1t is stated that Col.
Ellery A. Brayton, chairman OF the state re-
publican executive committee, will soon an
nounce himself as a candidate for governor. 1t
was reported that Brayton would run for Con-
gress from the seventh district. but for the
past month no has been watc hing the campaign
in the state between the two wings Of the DEM
ocratic party with intense interest and he has
probably decided that this is the proper time
to make a dash for the state government. 1t is
very certain that if either the Tillman party or
its opponents, the straight-out democrats, are
successful in getting the nomination they will
not be supported at the polls by hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of the other side. Again.
Capt. Tillman is endorsed by the colored ALI
ances and almost all OF the white independent
greenbackers, and recently converted demo.
Gratis from the republican ranks are rallying to
his standard, and while they may assist in
splitting the democrats it is very probable that
later on, il the republicans have ticket in the
field, they will give that party their votes. The
outlook ID more promising for the republicans
than it has been for many years.

FATAL END OF A PRIZE FIG HIT
VIM. Brennan Dies After Being De.
feated by Frank Garrard.

VIM. Brennan, the lightweight pugilist. who
was injured in a sparring match Thursday
night at Chicago with Frank Garrard, died at
4o'clock yesterday morning. Brennan first
sprang into pugilistic fame year ago. His
first ring fight however, WAS with Tommy
White couple of months ago, and he bested
White after battle that lasted seventy-six
rounds. He was about twenty-one years old.
Last night when Brennan and Garrard jumpe
into the ring it was apparent there was blood
between the fighters Ever since Brennan half
killed Tommy White in Indiana a month ago
words of an uncomplimentary nature have been
passing between Garrard, who was Whites
friend, and Brennan's hackers.
Before they went into the ring Thursday
night both INDUCED in sanguinary threats that
were rather pleasing to the crowd that had as
sembled to see the fight. When time was called
for the first round the two men sprang at each
9th ,r like tigers. Instead of sparring for an
opening their Lands flew ont like ba.tering
rams. Brennan. in his anxiety to land shot
that would settle the fight, lost his balance aud
went down on his back. He got up in an in
slant, however, and forced the fighting in a
way that kept Garrard galloping all over the
stage. All during this round he seemed to
have his antagonist, who was much
larger man, completely at his mercy.
and there was scarcely one among the big
crowd OF spectators but thought that in the
next round he would he able to knock out Gar
rard, who was already dazed and unable to de-
fend himself from the ferocious rushes OF his
young opponent. When the round was ended,
however. it was noticed that brennan was not
i'll good condition and his seconds began dosing
him with whisky. Garrard, i'll his corner,
seemed almost done for and exhibited but lit.
tie interest in the whispered counsels of his
seconds. Brennan opened the second round
with singing Highlander on Garrards face,
but that was the last blow of any force he de-
livered- Garrard went at him with both hands
and in less than minute had him whipped to
standstill. Brennan gamely resisted the
efforts to knock him ont but he was unable to
escape the terrific shots that were aimed at his
neck. and fell every time he got within reach
i'm distance. The remaining rounds were but
a repetition Of the second. Garrard had every
thing his own way, but could not get in the
final blow. At last. in the fifth round, Bren-
nan. to save himself, threw his arms around
Garrards waist. He fell backward and Gar
rard went down on top of his opponent land
ing on his breast with all his weight Bren-
mans head hit the floor with fearful force
When his seconds picked him up he was limp
and lifeless He had suffered conclusion of
the brain. Garrard was arrested at once and
early yesterday morning "Reddy" Gallagher of
Cleveland, who was referee, and the seconds
were also placed in custody.

sEALERs PREPARING TO FIGHT.
British Vessels Armed to Resist the
American Cruisers in Behring Sea.

Victoria tB CT Special TO Philadelphia Press July L.
The news telephoned Thursday from Port
Townsend that Col. Matthews, special mes
senger, had arrived from Washington with
urgent instructions for the commanders Of the
United States cruisers Rush and Corwin to
proceed Immediately to Behring Sea and seize
all vessels found with sealskins on board or
with any evidence that they had been engaged
in the seal fishery causes great indignation
and excitement here. At the same time comes
the story that the British Pacific squadron has
been ordered to Immediately rendezvous at
Esquimault where the Ampior is already. This
latter story brings peace to the minds Of few
rabid Britishers, but the majority OF British
Columbian believe that it is the old story, and
that no matter what acts may be committed by
the American gunboats on Canadian sealers
the British war ships will not interfere. For
this reason. Canadians have at last decided to
take the matter into their own hands and meet
force with force on the high seas.
1t is well known that the crews Of all vessels
that have proceeded to the sealing grounds
and those now preparing tn go have been
fully armed with . view of resisting seizure,
as protection from England could no longer
be anticipated, but today q story has leaked
out that besides the two clippers schooners are
being secretly fitted out in Maple bay, some
miles up the sound above EsQuimault espec-
tally to meet these American gunboats. 1t is
said these vessels will each carry heavy
swivel besides two smaller guns, will be
manned by large crews and disguised as gem
uine sealers with skins on board for leaving
port and that they will tempt seizure by Amer
lean cutters SO as to bring on an encounter
Regarding this story Capt Scott, . veteran
sealer on the coast and part owner OF two ves-
sells already in Behring sea, said today that the
report. no doubt, was true, but that the matter
had been kept dead secret. as the British
war vessels were more likely to stop the pro-
ject than interfere with the Americans He
said that he knew the new shippers of the two
vessels in which he was interested had armed
their crews and before sailing had sworn to 60
down with their vessels rather than submit to
seizure when engaged in lawful fishing and
the British Columbians have now taken affairs
IN their own hands, and if the commander of
the Rush or Corwin attempt any of their tricks
they Will get warm reception. Then Eng
land must show her hand or possibly submit to
the loss Of Canada.
