WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Representative
Payson, of Illinois, speaking about the
matter, said there is no danger of war;
''rhere is too much good sense in this
country" he said. "and it was to be pre-
sumed that there also was i'll Italy, to 60 to
war about this difficulty" Representative
Cogswell, of Massachusetts, regarded the
situation as one of gravity and deplored the
lack of navy suitable for the defense of
the country. Officers of the navy said,
"Fold you so," when asked how they
viewed the matter. For years past. in the
face of opposition and derision from men,
bers of congress representing constituencies
located in the interior of the country and
in position safe from outside attack, they
had persistently pointed out the need for
a navy that would be defense for the
country. Their colleagues in the army had
begged for coast dofenses, and yet here we
were with an international affair on our
hands and but the mere skeleton of navy
and maps Of projected coast defenses at
our back. To would-be economists who
have opposed their views. these officers
point to French spoliation claims aggregate

SAN Francisco, March 31.-,rhe Evening
Post in an artiole about the understanding
between Spreckles and the sugar trust, says
Hawaiian sugar planters for some time
have been rushing their raw material into
this country TO take advantage of the extra
price 1t would bring before the duty was
dropped. As both the trust and Spreckles
wera under contract to buy, they were
forced to take it, and an immense
amount has arrived in a short time.
In this they have pal id a price
which can only exist until the tariff ia re-
moved. It Is easy, therefore, to understand
how strong their common interests be-
come. holding this immense stock which

Dixon Wss the Favorits from Start IA
Finish-'Heavy Money staked ON
the Result.

TRoY, N. X, March 3l.-The great glove
contest between Cal MCCARTHY. Of Jersey
City, and George Dixon, Of Boston, came
off tonight and the colorsd Boston lad ID
victor. Crowds came from all directions
and the rink was packed to it's utmast cap
acity. Prominent sporting men from all
over the country we're in the audience. The
betting WAS free, but the odds we're all on
Dixon. This is probably accounted for by
the fact that a rumor prevailed all day that
Mccarthy had been drinking and not TAX
ing proper care Of himself. The fight was
for the featherweiRht championship and
$4,000. Side bets were plentiful and great
excitement prevailed. II is believed that
fully $25,000 must have changed hands on
the result. Dixon was seconded by Tom
O'Rourke and H. Hodqkins. McCarthy's
seconds were Jack McAuliffe and Billy
Madden. Jerry Dunn was referee. The
scales were set at liz pounds
but neither man tipped the beam
at that mark and they jumped
off so that none of those present could as
certain their exact weight. Sheriff Toppan
was served with an injunction tonight re-
straining him from interfering with the
fight. Both ruen were apparently in prime
condition when they entered the ring.
In the first round the men spared eau
tiously and exchanged blows evenly. In
the second, Mccarthy was too eager and
throwing himself open to Dixon's swings
was floored twice in quick order, being al
most knocked out the second time. In the
thsrd Mccarthy again tried in-ighting and
got the worst of it, but in the fourth he was
cautious and had the best Of the round. In
the fifth, Dixon forced the fighting, and
punished MCCARTHY severely, getting one
clean knock-down.,
In the next three rounds there was hard
fighting with honors about even. In the
ninth MCCARTHY punched hard at long
range and Dixon landed heavily on his nose,
making it hleedtfreely. In the next round
both tried long tactics, with no particular
damage. In the eleventh, there was hard
fighting and Mccarthy cut deep cash un-
der Dixon's right eye with a left-hand
swing, uppercut. In the twelfth, Dixon,
forced matters and Mccarthy, who was
bleeding freely, clung to his neck to avoid
punishment.
In the next two rounds Mccarthy was
very cautious but in the fifteenth rushed
and got in three left handed uppercuts,
which split Dixon's lip and loosened his
teeth. For the next five rounds, although
there was some sharp fighting, little dam
age was done, but in the twenty-frst Dixon
forced matters and drove MCCARTHY all over
The ring, knocking him down.
In the twenty second Dixon knocked Nc
Carthy down as fast as he got up until he
was completely exhausted. At the end of
The round the referee declared Dixon win
ler. Six ounce gloves were used.

expression of opinion upon the recall of the
italian minister, and also the status of the

of the case was unchanged. He was unable
to say what the outcome would be. The
matter is now entirely in the hands of the
grand jury, and until it has submitted a re-
port he could not say what the line of
prosecution would be. The state of
Louisiana, he felt. was fully capable of on
forcing its laws. There has been no new

HoUSEKEEPER'S DON.TS.

DoN'T put furnishings with big de-
signs in small room-it will make the
room look the smaller. Keep in the
rule of proportion.
DON'T let estheticisrn overwhelm com
mon sense to that degree that your
windows are so profusely ''got up as
to make ventilation or the washing of
them difficult job.
DON'T dust your furniture with a
feather buster; it's like cleaning an egg
cup by stirring the egg around. Use a
cloth. If it is slightly oiled so much
the better for woodwork.
DoN'T be vague in your furnishings
and get this, that and the other thing
because each by itself is pretty, but
take the object of room first INTO con-
