BRITISH COMMONS,
The Government Defeated In a Vote on
Child Labor.

The Government Defeated In a Vote on
Child Labor.
LONDON, June 18.-In a debate in the
Commons to-day on the factory bill, an
amendment of Buxton Uiberal to pro-
hibit children under IL years of age from
working was adopted by vote of 202 to
1S6. The Government was thus defeated
The majority included few Conserva-
tive members. BuxtOn's amendment
will affect l50, 900 to 200, 900 children in the
Kingdom now employed in the. manu-
featuring districts as half-timers. 1t is a
philanthropic reform, and was opposed
by the bulk of operatives who benefit by
the labor of their offspring.
The Liberals argued that the abolish
ing of child labor would provide more
work for adults. Mosley challenged the
Government to say whether it opposed
BuXton'S amendment or not, whereupon
Home Secretary Matthews intimated
that the Government would not accept
the amendment. The object of the
ment, but it is expected that the Govern
ment will accept the situation.
The NeaOS, commenting upon the mat
ter, says the blow is both damaging and
ignominious, and not even the resigna-
ton of Home Secretary Matthews will
save the Government from discredit and
disgrace.
The Chronicle says: Truly Secretary
Matthews is a costly luxury to the State.
The debate of the Government will seri-
ously damage the prospects of every
Unionist candidate in the next general
election.

CITY OF MEXICO (via Galvestonj June
1S.-There has been a general shaking
up in the Cabinet of President Barrilas of
Guatemala. The trouble in the old Cabi-
net was occasioned by the fact that Barril-
as wanted to take the responsibility of
running every department without con-
sulting his Secretaries. This resulted in
a revolt and the Secretaries were fired.
The new Cabinet is now as follows: Min
lister of Foreign Relations and Public
Works, De Leon; Treasurer, Aguilar;
Minister of War, President Barrilas;
Minister of Interior and Justice, Viletta.
President Barrilas has contracted q new
loan Of 100000, with the object of re-
firing the Treasury notes now in circula-
ton.
EG PGqtidO QiberaD says the financial
condition of Guatemala is terrible, owing
to the interior loan that republic emitted
by order of President Barrilas. 1t is
claimed that his proceeding is Illegal as
the Assembly should have ordered it and
not the President.
EE Crontstd, weekly journal published
in Guatemala, bitterly attacks what it
terms the "ruinous'' financial policy of
the Guatemalan Government.
Ine Ouatemalan election eNcltment is
extending to Honduras, where the feel
ing against President Bogran is appar-
emily very great.
The treaty OF peace between Salvador

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
New YORK, June 1S.-Jere Dunn,
referee in the Slavin- -Kilrain glove con-
test, rendered formal decision tonight.
He awards the fight to Slavin, but de-
clares that Kilrain was not knocked out.
Bets that the contest would not last ten
declared after less than ten rounds had
been contested.
Dunn says that timekeeper DAILY made
an unfortunate mistake, after the gong
got out of order, by not calling out the
seconds that elapsed while Kilrain was
down. He then states that ne considered
himself equally at fault in not keeping
his eyes toward the center of the ring at
that time, in order to see for himself how
quickly Kilrain got up.
He explains the fact that his back was
toward Kilrain by saying that he felt it
his duty, on account of Slavin's method
of fighting, to watch the Australian. to
prevent him from fouling. Dunn states
that Slavin always showed desire to 90
in and slug Kilrain the instant he arose
from falling down. Dunn puts himself
on record as being against such tactics
and says he would have decided against
Slavin had he committed that act in the
ninth round.
This evening in the hotel Slavin and
Mitchell intimated in a roundabout way
to Jere Dunn that he had been afraid to
decide Kilrain knocked out, because his
(Dunn's) friends bet against that result
Dunn replied that if he only got bad
reputation from such people as the men
who were talking of his character, it
would always be of the best. Slavin was
requested to leave the hotel and did.
SULLIVAN WANTS TO FIGHT.
NEW YORK, June 1S.-John l.. Sulli-
van telegraphed from San Jose his will
ingness to meet Slavin for $4,000 side
and the highest purse any club will offer,
the fight to take place on the return of
Sullivan from Australia, three months

Slavin said that if Sullivan would fore
go his trip he (Slavin) would defer his re-
turn to England and prepare to meet the
Boston man at once.

New YORK, June is. Chief Mate
Lowell. of the steamship South Portland,
from Jamaica ports, tells a story Of hor-
rible fight at Port Marie, which he wit
messed. Four coolies, all natives of the
town, had become involved in bitter
feud and decided to fight to death
In the center of green inclosure q
space was roped off, and at each corner
stood one of the men. They were
stripped to the waist, and each man
grasped in his right hand knife with a
blade seven inches long. For a moment
the men stood glaring at each other.
Then the word was given and the fight
began. 1t was case of every man for
himself with vengence.
Lowell says, without any exception, it
was the most fearful fight he ever saw.
In five minutes it was all over. When
the police arrived three bodies, hacked
almost beyound recognition, lay inside
the ropes. The fourth man was so crazed
by his wounds that before the police
could lay hands on him he drove his own
knife through his heart.

fused to leave the house, taking refuge
on the roof. When Gray was halfway

An Inquest Held Over the Remains OF
Brakeman Jordan.
PORT COSTA, June 16.-The Coroner
held an inquest on the remains of Will
lam J. Jordan, the brakeman killed last
Monday in the railroad accident here
Engineer Moore of the gravel train,
which collided with the passenger train,
testified that he knew the passenger train
was due at Port Costa at $40 o'clock. He
was oiling the engine and heard a train
20 by on the other side, and supposed it
was the passenger train. He saw the
switch open, and, receiving a signal from
the conductor, started out. Jordan must
have opened the switch on his own re-
spOnsibility.
Conductor Collins testified that he
waved his hands to Engineer Manning to
signal that they were all right. The en-
gineer then pulled out. There were two
watch towers in the yard, but they were
closed some time ago. If a man had been
in one of them he would have seen the
passenger train and stopped the gravel
Erain.
Both Conductor Collins and Engineer
Moore honestly and frankly admit that it
was their fault, and each one while testi-
flying broke down, and it was pitiful to
witness.
The Coroner's Jury brought in a ver-
dict that Brakeman Jordan came to his
death through gross negligence on the
part of Conductor Collins and Engineer
Moore.

economy"
