restorative effects of this favorite and
standard remedy. Tho only medicine

way up steep hill in the face of a rat
Ting fire from the government troops
stationed at the crest of the hill, and
drove them away, besides capturing
some of them.

-suLL1vAN IS CHAMPION
Thus Said tho Crowd at slnvin,s
American Debut.


American Debut.
NHw York, May Last night Frank
p. Slavin, the Australian champion pugi-
list, made his American debut Mt the
Madison Squard garden, and 1000 per-
sons went to see him. Slavin, after
several interesting settos, went on with
Jim DAILY, the Philadelphian. When
Slavin was introduced by Master of Ger
emonies Billy Madden he was cheered,
but Us Madden uttered the words ''cham-
pion of the world" cries oFme from all
parts of the big house, "N'o, no; Sulli-
van is champion" This cry was re-
peated for some seconds Slavin took it
good naturally, and went on to spar
DAILY. The crowd watched the first
round without saying much, and after
it came to the conclusion that Slavin
would never do to beat Sullivan.
The crowd said that Slavin was not
ono to show q mans fighting ability, but
the crowd wanted its say, and had it.
The opinion of the spectators was
formed on Slavin's slow movements, his
habit of dropping his head and the way
he let his hands fail to his sides, He
danced about good deal and DAILY
ducked several of his blows, but when
Slavin hit he did it clean and did not
show sign of wincing under Days
blows.
The same work went ON in the second
and third rounds, except that in the
third Daily, who had received all sorts
of encouragement frorn the crowd, tried
to get in some stiff punches. Slavin
held as before, until he saw that DAILY
was in for business DAILY landed
couple of good thrusts on the Austria
han's breast, and then Slavin let his left
out and caught the Philadelphian on the
breast Dalys feet were together when
he was hit, and he sat down on the
stage under the force Of the blow. The
bout then ended. -,

CHICAGO, May LIN response to q
Telegram from Secretary Blaine Senator
blair left ths city yesterday afternoon
Ter Washington, where he will have
conference with the secretary tomorrow
morning. Hr. Blair is not at all dis
snrbed, but says that the Chinese gov
srnment has made the mistake of en-
deaYoring to judge his views and opin-
ions with press clippings as material, in
stead of taking the congressional re-
cords. He has never said anything, he
af1irins, that would reflect on the Chi
pese as nation.

COLUMBUS, May LIT seems possible
that strike among the coal miners Of
Ohio will occur shortly after May 1. The
situation is very threatening, and tho
operators who are here are very. much
alarmed. Complications have arisen in
connection with labor strikes in other
states, which threaten 70 involve the ell
tire organization of Ohio. w. p. Rend,
the mine operator from Chicago, who
owns extensive coal interests in Ohio.
said in this connection: There are very
serious difficulties in the way Of q settle
ment Of the mining question in this
state. Contingencies have arisen in
connection with matters outside the
state OF which | am not at liberty to
speak in detail, but which l fear will
give us serious trouble. There is also q
difference between the miners and oper-
ators who have been in conference.
Against Machine Prices.
Four years ago the miners and opera
tors by arbitration agreed upon n price
for both machine and pick mining, and
1t was arranged that the price of mn
chine mining should rise and fall with
the price of pick mining. This arrange
ment was reiterated three years ago, and
has been in force ever since One
fourth of the mines in the state contain
coal cutting machines, and the owners
of these mines control three-fourths of
the Ohio output. ....
''Ihe miners have insisted on q read
justment of the machine mining scale,
and at n meeting Of machine operators
last evening it was decided unanimously
not to consent to a change. They affirm
that if the rates for machine mining
were changed they would not consider
themselves bound to any rates for pick
mining established after May 1, and vice
versa. This decision was impaired to a
conference of miners. last night. The
miners do not seem disposed to accept
this and the result may be strike"

The Jewish Question in England

LONDON, May 1.-The expulsion of
Jews from Russia, which has reached its
acme in the rigorous measures COM
manded by the car in st. Petersburg,
has become burning problem to the
other European governments. Already,
as result of the wholesale and hurried
emigration, there is in London colony
of Russian, Polish and German Jews,
numbering 5000 souls, and all these
unfortunate people are working under
wealthy " sweaters" for mere subsist-
ence. The naturally rapid increase of
the race and the continual immigration
viii eventually compel the government
to take positive measures of exclusion.

sioux Falls Pres. Change. Hands.


WASHINGTON, Sept. There is q
rumor that The Sioux Falls Press,
owned by Caldwell & Bliss. and SO we'll
known, is about to be sold. The i'm
preston is that a home syndicate COM
posed of such we'll known men as Petit
grew, Postmaster Campbell, State Sen.
ator Kittridge and others who control,
but q more reliable report is that Ohio
men have concluded to take it.,
the price being the sun of $3.50, 900,
which is considerably under what it ever
has been held at before. The latter is
said by some to meal that Perry s.
Heath. the we'll known Washington cor
respondent, will be it's editor. It is
known the paper has been
for sale for some time. The
reason is that since the death of its
business man, w. 81. D. Bliss, the bust
ness management has devolved more or
less upon Editor Caldwell, and being
unable to cope with it satisfactorily, he
proposes to end it by disposing of the
paper altogether. When seen today
Perry Heath said he was not going to
Sioux Falls to edit The Press. He
further stated that Senator Pettigrew
has no interest in that paper. The
Press. he says, has been purchased by
two friends of his in Ohio and they will
assume control Sept. 10.
