PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 2I.-Queen Victo-
ria visited the French fleet to-day at 2 p.

broke out their bunting, flying masses of
bright flags of all shapes and many col

to the sea, which kept them Juggling at
their anchors, appeared remarkably pow

The Queen embarked upon the royal
yacht Alberta at East Cowes, II. NJ. S.

Outside the harbor the Alberta ran

several steamers loaded with pleasure

yards, and with wonderful rapidity the
bluejacketS swarmed up and out. When
the Victoria and Albert entered the line
of ironclads royal salutes were fired
from the British ships, and as the royal
yacht approached the French squadron,
the vessels composing it also thundered
out royal salutes.
After passing down one of the lines OF
the British and French war vessels the
Victoria and Albert returned up the
other, and in doing so brought up along
side the French flagship Marengo. The
French commander-in-chief, Admiral
Gervais, then went on board the royal
yacht and paid his respects to the Queen
of England. The Admiral and Queen
conversed together for some time, ex-
changing international compliments OF
the usual order, and then the Admiral re-
turned on board his flagship, and the

Con Riordan Knocks Out the ''Terri-
BILE Swede.''
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. N.-Danny
Hawkins, the nineteen-year-old local
bantam weight, defeated Walter Cath
cart, the forty-year bantam of Lon
don, in three rounds at the Pacific Club
tonight for purse of $500. Cathcart,
who claimed to be veteran of the ring,
was no match for his opponent.
Matt Fenner, known as the Terrible
Swede," was knocked out in eighteen
rounds by Con Riordan, formerly of
Australia, in finish fight for a purse of
$1,000.
Fenner, who is native OfPrussia, is a
novice in the ring, having received his
training here within the past eight
months, but his muscular development,
which is abnormal, makes him one of
the most formidable looking men in the
ring. This was his second finish fight,
Australia last June. The fight tonight
was one OF the hardest ever seen III thls
city, and Riordan's superior generalship
alone saved him, Fenner having almost
knocked him out in the third round.
Fenner'S face was much battered, and
RiOrdan lost considerable blood from the
nose and mouth. At the beginning of
the eighteenth round Fenner made a
rush, which was stopped by Riordan's 5
right, followed by left behind the ear,
which dropped Eenper TO the floor like a
log. He was counted out.

PARIS, Aug. 21.-The latest reports
from the Island of Martinique state that
2lS people were killed by the recent
cyclone. This is in the coast towns alone.
The towns in the interior are not heard
from yet, and until reports are received
from them the total number of killed
will not be known. 1t is thought the
number of dead in the interior towns will
be equal or greater than in the coast
towns. It is known, however, that
houses, crops and trees from one end of
Martinique to the other are demolished
or flattened down beyond all hope of re-
covery. The loss to the coffee and sugar
planters is great. Troops at the disposal
of the Government, and large body of
volunteers are busy at work in all direc-
tions, succoring the injured and burying
the dead. The physicians on the island
had hardly an hours rest for the first
fOrty-eight hours following the hurri-
canes passage, and the citizens of all
classes are doing their utmost to help the
sufferers and to repair, so far as possible,
the damage done.
A rough estimate makes the number
killed 300 and the injured 200.
The death-list from the recent cyclone
by towns, up to date, is: st. Biesre, 81;
Morne Rouge, %; Fondu st. Denis, 4;
Precheurs, 6; Carbet, 4; St. joseph, 20:
Marin, s; Nauchin, TO- Lamertin, %;
Francois, .; Robert, 2S; Rlviere Pilote,
Z; miscellaneous, Is. But these do not
include the deaths in isolated places or
upon plantations with which no COM
munlcatlOn can be had at present.

CONCORD, Aug. 21.-In an interview on
the immigration question, Senator Chan
dler, who is Chairman Of the Senate
committee on immigration, said: 81 am
not sure that we may not, sometime in
the not far distant future, reach g con-
clusion to limit the coming of good i'm
migrants and exclude some of them. but
so far as L am concerned that time has
not arrived. For the present l am in IA
Vor OF adhering to the old principle as
satls1actory-to exclude the bad and al
low the good to come in. The mere fact
that Chinese laborers had lowered the
wages in our Pacific States would not
have been sufficient to Justify their
exclusion. The fundamental and con-
elusive objections against the Chinese
were that the males came and not the fe-
males, except bad females in limited
numbers-no families came They did
not come to stay, but to gather in the
money and go again to China, and there
was no possibility OF their assimilatinp
INTO our social life. None of these reasons
apply to the Polish Jews and other ex-
lies, to the Hungarians or to the Italians.
The good persons of these races will as
simulate, the bad we intend to keen ont
