The establishment Of Bureau Of Information

which Secretary Ekins deserves 10 be heartily

service have been neglected while those Of the
Navy have engroSsed the attention Of legislators

designed with improved models engines and
ornaments, but systematic efforts also have been
made to keep every branch of the service in line
with naval progress in Europe. Meanwhile the
army has remained hopeessly behind the stand
ards of European military science. With in
feror arms, old-time tactics, and a lack of mod

have felt that their energy was mSting in the
backwoods where they were condemned to po-

The Defeated Champion.

The three great prize fights are over.
Mr.. McAuliffe has proved his superior
ity over Mr.. Myer; Dixon has pounded
Sicily into an admission of his inferior
ity, and in the last of the contests,
John Lawrence Sullivan, the champion
of champions, the gladiator of the 18th
century, the invincible, the unconquer
able, the undefeated, has been ham,
mered into defeat by the tall San
Franciscan, James J. Corbett.
The result of the contest has been a
surprise to the greater part of the
sporting world. That the only, Sulli-
van, could be defeated, was deemed an
impossibility; it was not possible to
realize it; Sullivan was considered in
vincible, and the chances Before the
fight were all in his favor.
And now the immortal John is no
more. His sun has set, in it's place
CLEANS brightly the Corbett star.
Corbett is probably the greatest man
in the United States today. He is the
champion of the world, and as such
will have to meet all corners. Sullivan
is beneath challenging. He is the
most pitiable of creatures-a defeated
champion-and he will probably follow
other defeated champions into oblivion
He is no more.
