Land Receiver Resigns.

WASHINGTON. May %. - Thomas NJ.
Vance, Receiver of the North Yakima
Land Office IN Washington recently sent in
his res gnaton, which was accepted to-day.
BE is a son Of Senator Vance of North Car
olina, and was appointed TO that position
two days before the end of the Democratic
Administration. II is learned at the Land
Department that Receiver Vance did mot
comply with the law in relation TO remitting
funds to the Treasury Department. The
law requires that when the collections
amount to $1,000 the same must be remitted
to the Treasury and they must always re-
nit at the end Of each months. Vance was
not heard from in the months of February
and March, and on the 2lst Of April Special
Agent Averdson called on him. An hour
before the Special Agent saw him, Vance
RENTED $500, claiming this to be the full
amount dae up to April 1st. His father
reached him that morning, and called there,
Ii is believed, to look after the interests of
his son. The Special Agent looked over the
books, and as far as reported, found every
thing practically correct, and Vance had re-
mitted to the Treasury the money due. II
is said, however, that the neglect together
with some other matters connected with his
official work, made it quite certain that his
best plan was to resign. BE will continue
to attend to the business OF the Office until
bis successor is appointed.

An Ohio Young Man Becomes Physician

DR.. Will r. Lee of Springfield, Ohio, who
has been appointed Royal Physician to the
King of Siam, is. only rs years of age. Only
four years ago he was driving an express
wagon and delivering express packages in
Springfield. He was youthful, of handsome
appearance, of fine physique rare intelli-
gence, and was always active in church
work. His friends raised fund of over
$1,000 to assist Mr.. Lee in taking course at
the University of New York to fit himself
for mediral missionary. He was gradu-
ated with high honors in the class of 1890,
and after his marriage with young Cana
dian lady, who had also studied to become
medical missionary, he was assigned by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions to
station at Petehaburee, Siam. He en-
tered into Che work there with will, and
the stories of the astounding cures of the
young Yankee physician soon filed the
sleepy oriental land with wonder. What it
took the native physicians five weeks to
cure with their pagan tomfo0ery young
Lee would cure in five days, He had only
worked six months at Petchaburee when

New YORK, May PA special cable to
sporting paper says; The oft-postponed
prize-fght between Dick Burge of New
castle and Jem Carney of Birmingham, for
$1,000 and the lightweight championship OF
England, was decided to-day. The battle
was fought in the Hop Malt Exchange
bOxing-room. The betting was 100 to 80 On
Carney and several heavy bets were regis
tered. Carney had the best of the fighting
from the start and punished Burge terri
bly,. After the men had fought eight rounds
it was any odds that the champion would
win. and 100 to 80 was laid by Chip Morton.
In the ninth round Carney fought the
Newcastle man to a standstill. In the tenth
round Burge showed great pluck, and made
a game effort to turn the tables, but Carney
landed his left heavily on Burgess neck and
fought him to the ropes. In the eleventh
round Burge clinched Carney. Desperate
in-tighting then followed until they broke,
when Carney knocked Burge down by
tremendous blow on the left ear. Burgess
seconds on seeing their man defeated
shouted foul, and, to the surprise of all
present. the referee awarded the fight to
Burge. Intense Indignation was expressed
with the decision. Carney cried like child
at the injustice done him. The men fought
with two-Ounce gloves. Both pugilistS were
terribly punished, especially Burge. The
fight lasted forty-tWo minutes.

The Probable Place for New Naval Sta
ton

New YORK, May pa Washington spe-
cial says: The question of naval station
in the West Indies is being very seriously
discussed by the Government. The failure
of negotiations for the Mole ST. Nicholas
viii probably result in an attempt to obtain
the desired privileges on the eastern side of
the island from the San Domingo Govern
ment. 1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that Admiral Gherardi left Port-au-Prince
four weeks ago under cable orders TO 60 di-
rect to Samana Bay and examine into its
fitness for cOaliug station. and that, while
there, General Heureaux, President of San
Domingo, came from San Domingo City in
lis yacht, and was cl0seted with the Ad-
mral for several hours. There, no doubt,
the subject of conversation was the estab-
hshment of naval station on Samana Bay,
and that the price br the friendship and
moral support Of the United States in the
present difficulty between San DOmingU and
