1NoW IIIHts,
There seems to be no doubt that our Govern
ment was acting in the line of its duty toward
afriendly power in causing the seizure of the
1tata in the port Of San Diego. We have not
recognized the so-called Congressional party in
Chile as a belligerent. but we may do SO in the
very act of dealing with this case =
If we were not obliged to put force on board
the vessel sufficient to hold her at all hazards,
and cannot therefore:be held responsibleIfor her
escape, it is not our absolute duty to exert our
selves to recapture her. Nevertheless such an
exertion seems to be demanded as q vindicatIon
of our own authority which has been insulted
and defied. and as a friendly act to the Chilean
Government. which might be disposed to ques-
tion our vigilance in its behalf. At all events,
if we recapture the vessel or do our utmost to
that end, it will clear us Of all responsibility In
the premises.

"The growth OF the kindergarten system OF

has devoted considerable attention to the sub
ject. '1t is the school Of practical common
sense and is very popular with both parents
and children. have little 4-year-old tots In
my school who not only know their letters and
are otherwise mentally smart, but who can do
almost anything with their hands and feet. We
pay more attention TO the physical training Of
these little ones now than we ever did before.
You should see some of my 4-year.olds putting
up their wee littledumb. bells. tnrning out their
toes and going through theregular calisthenics.
And they love it so, and think everything such
great fun. We don't put them into books.
They have nothing to do with books. Letters
and numerals are merely incidental"

For this defiance Of our authority the United
States could hardly demand satisfaction with.
out recognizing the insurgents AZ belligerents.
and small salts faction would be got out of
them. But even II the Itata has rendered her
self pirate, the question Of our liability to
Chile for her departure remains for settlement.
Apparently It is q novel point how great de-
gree of caution must be exercised by neutral
to stop belligerent vessel. Its discussion be-
tween Chile and the United States is rather
possible than probable, the present barbaric
struggle having so exhausted Balmaceda that
he is little likely to care for foreign complica-
tions. But harassed as he is, we certainly owe
him an apology.

The statement is made that "persons
have been arrested for smuggling Cinnamon

create a wonder how the smugglers succeeded
in smuggling Cinnamon from Mexico into
Illinois without first smuggling them into
other States.

Anne to witness the mill between Jack
Connors, alias Dougherty, Of Philadel-
phia, who has been in training at Ocean
View for some time, and "Spotted
Horse" one of the Indian medicine COM
bination now located in Portsmouth.
The battle ground, about eight miles
from the city and some distance from
the water works, was reached before
day. The ring was twcnty-eour feet
square, with an outer ring.
The men stripped to the waist and
jumped into the ring just about day
break. Connor5 looked to be about
twenty-siX years and the Indian twenty
eight years old, and the latter weighed
las pounds. whilo Connors was ten
pounds lighter.
Connors' friends were in the majority,
however, and the betting was in his
favor. At first the Indian appeared not
to be in 1T. as he took all the humping
with but little effort to get back. Con-
nors fought hard and landed heavy
blows about the Indians neck and
stomach, but he had as we'll been strik
ing leather bag, for Spotted Horse
showed no signs of worry or punish
ment. He had a small waist, and Con-
nors taking that for his weak point
pounded him about it, but without eff
feet.
The second round was repetition of
the first, Connors leading and landing
nearly all the blows. This WIS all
very interesting 10 the Norfolk people.
In the third round Connors again led,
the Indian taking all the punishment
and was evidently up to letting Connors
wear himself out, which the latter had
done to considerable eXtont by the
close of this round.
The tide changed in the fourth
round, Spotted Horse showing up in
splendid form. He appeared as fresh
as ever and thumpcd Connors about the
body severely, and it could be seen that
the latter was losing wind, not being
able to hit as hard as in the other
rounds.
From this time to the close of the
mill, the ninth round, the Indian had
the fight all his own way. In the last
round Connors bit his antagonist on the
shoulder, which was decided to be
foul and the fight was given to Spotted
Horse. Several fights occurred, and
when the party started to leave the
constable and bis deputy, armed with
double Oarreled shotguns, ATTEMPTED to
arrest the party, but were unsuccessful,
the sporting men driving through their
lines and defying them.
