A Washington dispatch says that Sec
l retary Chandler will favor an expedition
) to the Rainy river country providing it is
contemplated the establishment of sta
tion up there which would be perma-
nent and put an end to the stealing of
timber engaged in by Canadian timber
thieves. The inclination of the Canadi-
ans to slay our seals, steal our timber
and rob the government of revenue by

the subject of an International dispute
with Canada in the role of defendant
and the United States asking indemnity
for the timber taken.

citement, is soon to be married to Saliva
tor Stefan Malato, young Sicilian, who

The long discussed boxing contest be-
tween Jake Kilrain of Baltimore and
Frank Slavin of Australia, for a $4,000
purse took place Tuesday night at the
ciation, Hoboken, New York. Jere
Dunn was referee, John Kelly time
keeper: Muldoon, Cleary and Murray
were kilrain's seconds and Pony Moore,
Mitchell and Ed Stoddard acted for
Win ~~1Dv |
Kilrain had the best of Slavin the first
and second rounds, but apparently ex
hausted his strength, which enabled
Slavin to easily win the fight by knock
out blow in the ninth round, having
scored an advantage in each bout after
the second. Thus Kilrain practically
met his Waterloo and passed into the
ranks Of second class men.
The republican territorial committee
OF Utah, in session at Salt Lake Satur-
day, adopted resolutions that division
by local men on party lines in Utah at
this time would be fatal mistake, as it
would place the rule of the territory in
hands of the Mormon church; would !
speedily result in giving statehood to |
the territory and the state would be un- {
der the control of the Mormon theoc- {
racy; that Utah is not yet prepared to [
accept statehood because the majority
Of her people still maintain allegiance to i
the church; that the material and politi- t
cal interests of Utah imperatively de- l
mand the united action of loyal people +
until there shall be an absolute and un- +
qualified abandonment of polygamy, and /
until reasonable evidence shall be sup
Piled that the men who control the Nor G
mon church have have finally deter
mined upon complete separation of the I
church and the state in that territory. G

will accede." Among the reports from L
