Could Garry Canada.

WASHINGTON, March 2-Senator Stock
bridge of Michigan, who has just returned
from Detroit, where he spent Washing
toms birthday, came up to the Union and
Advertiser CORES pendent just now with the
question: whats the matter with Roches-
ter2' Asked to explain, the senator pro-
ceeded TO tell how his car had been at
tached to the special carrying ex-President
Cleveland on his way home from Michigan.
1--WE came over the Canada Southern"
said Mr.. Stockbridge, land stopped at
great many Canadian towns. Everywhere
the greatest enthusiasm was shown and
the air was rent with cheers for
Mr.. Cleveland. At the railway sta
tions crowds of men, women and children
gathered to testify to the popularity OF the
ex-president. Flags were flying and bands
playing These demonstrations continued
until we crossed the bridge to the Ameri-
can side, and then there was a wonderful
change. At Buffalo, Mr.. Cleveland's
old home, there was no one to meet
his train and cheer him; the station
was neglected. 1 thought, however,
that the people of Rochester might do
something, but that progressive city was
reached and passed absolutely without
demonstration of any kind. Thinking of
the matter, have come to the conclusion
that the apathy of New York does not mat
ter Mr. Cleveland may lose his native
state, but he can certainly carry Canada,
and Mr.. Hill will have no show there.''

WARRINGTON, March 2.-Indications are
that Senator Hills trip to the South will
assume greater proportions than originally
supposed by its promoters. Invitations
from all parts of the South have
been coming in all day. Especially
urgent invitations are being received
from Nashville, Tenn, Meridian, Miss,
and Montgomery, Ala. He has already &C
copied an invitation to address the Missis
sippi state legislature at Jackson on the
18TH inst, and make another speech on st.

Ga 1t takes over day TO make the trip
from Jackson TO Savannah, and there will
not be much time for stops or TO make
speeches if the present programme is
adhered to. The Southern friends of Hill
in congress are urging tonight a change of
programme so as to include stops at all the
larger cities from which invitations may
come. The senator is not likely to announce
his determination for day or two, but it is
believed this kind of a programme will be
adopted.

corner, but received right upper cut on
the ribs which made him grunt Makers
left Iced for head fell short and he wasted
great deal of strength by missing
frequent blows. Fitz landed two let's
on the nose and was perfectly cool
and avoided several heavy swings. The

his opponent in this round and

and barring knockout blow, it looked like
Fltz's battle.
Round 11-Fitz landed light left and
avoided Makers right in return Both
landed light let's and Fitz avoid d two
right swings in the stomach. Eitz

with a heavy left and jabbed the same
hand under the sore nose and mouth again,

Round 12-Fitz's stock went up as
the battle progressed and his left shot into
Makers sore mouth again, the blood
responding freely. The Australian WIS

The latter would have none of
him, however, until he led with

corner and gave up the battle.
THEY TOOK A PULL.
Fftzsimmons got fair fight and offered
flask to his beaten opponent. Fitz took a
hearty pull himself of the red stuff and
then congratulated Maher on his
game fight The cheering for Fitz-
simmons was deafening in the extreme.
Some people commented on Makers cour-
age when he gave up the fight, but it Is
only reasonable to think he should
have done so when the superior
science and generalship of the man
from Australia is called to mind.
Fitz walked around the ring receiving con-
gratulations from his friends.
He certainly proved a wonder
full fighter and his cleverness with
both hands was really marvellous, ard il IS
fair to say there are few tricks in the ring
aud few hits that Fitzsimmons is unac-
quainted with.

HAL1rAx, y. s., March "A dispatch
from St. Johns, N. F. gives the details OF a
shocking disaster OF Newfoundland, in
which4lt least forty lives were lost. Sat
urday last go men went sealing In boats
from Trinity bay. While they were on the
lookout for seal the thermometer fell to
zero and terrific snow storm came on.
The sealers struggled hard for port but
were unable to cope with the wind, snow,
cold and an angry sea They had no extra
clothing and the small boats furnished no
shelter. Some were taken far out to sea
while others were frozen upon the ice
where they were taking seals. Many died
in the boats.
Seventeen Of the sealers were rescued by
boats which pnt out from Trinity bay TO
their assistance. These were found ex-
hausted and in pitiable plight. Some Of
them died before they could be brought
ashore. Thirteen bodies were found frozen
in the boats, which were covered with ice,
and had to be cut out. 1t is estimated
fully forty men persisted. Most of those
lost wero the fathers Of families. The leg
islature adjourned as mark Of sympathy.
