proved of advantage to the builders of
the United States cruiser Detroit, and
the United States will pay the expenses
of the ship during these several days of
delay in attempted trial, which will
average at least $4,000 per day, beside
some $75, 900 for extra speed developed
above the contract, which called for

self the fastest cruiser of her displace-
ment in the world. At ll:44:05

Bache, which was anchored about nine
miles from the start, and the center
stake boat was passed 31.46 minutes
latel. In 2S. II minutes more she reached
the Blake, about nine miles further on,
and 1912 minutes later she had passed
the boat at the end of the course. But
GA minutes were occupied in turning
and coming again on the course. The
run to Blake was made in 27.7 minutes,

Out in Two Rounds.
COMFY ISLAND, April IA good
crowd of people took advantage OF
the fine weather today and visited COney

letic club. The first event of the even
ing was bout of ten rounds between
johnny Van Heest, of Chicago, and
Johnny Russell, of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
for 81, 900 purse. Van Heest won in
three rounds.
The card of the evening was the fight
for the welterweight championship of
the world and a purse of $1,000. The
contestants in this fight were Billy
Smith, of Boston, and Tommy Williams.
of Australia. Williams wore white
trunks with black belt, while his OPP
pouent wore black tights They both
looked the very picture Of health and
strength.
Round One-The men spared eau
tiously for an opening; each seemed to
be sizing the other up. Smith led with
his left, which landed lightly. Williams
rushed him in an awkward manner,
which was characteristic of the Aus
tralian. Suddenly they went at 1t ham,
mer and tongS. Smith pounded Will
Jams hard, and it was give and take
fighting faster than ever seen at the
island. Smith struck awful blows,
Williams being sent to the floor fire.
Quentiy. He was game, and took his
punishment gamely, while intilctlng
almost as hard himself. Smith went
! down from a clean left and right. lie
arose and went at Williams like mad
bull. Williams was unable to
stand the rush, and was forced
to the floor. When he arose
Smith again sent him down with rlght
hand swing en- the ear. 1t was lmpos-
sible to keep tab on the blow struck, as
it was give and take, with Smith land
ing harder and Oltener. They referee
had nothing to do. as they were both
anxious to keep at work. When the
! gong sounded Williams was almost out,
and his seconds tried hard to get him in
! shape.
Round Two-The moment the gong
sounded the men went at each other
| like two wild beasts and slugged away
with LETT and right like two crazy men.
| Not one second of time. was lost, and it
was easily to be seen that 1t was only
a question of endurance. Neither
| man gave the slightest attention to
| science, bat made the bout one purely
! of brute force. Smith was the better of
the two, and had a slight advantage liz
| reach. He was also as strong as Gull,
and he landed on many occasions when
! Williams fell short. Both men stood up
like stone walls, and gave and took
without the slightest pretenSiOnS
of trying to avoid single
blow. 1t was a slight of fighting
that could not possibly last lOng,as both
men were rapidly showing signs OF ia
tigue. Williams was knocked down
several times in the round before he
received the Knockout blow. Each
time he came up gamely, but showed
| greater signs of fatigue. Smith, too,
was quite unsteady on his feet even
when he planted the finishing blow,
which was right on the point of Will
Jams jaw. The time was 2 min 80 sec.

The strikers had gathered repeatedly III
large crowds throughout the northern
district before o'clock. A squadron OF
police riding with drawn swords against
the workingmen were overwhelmed
with showers of stones and tim6ers.
The police retired in confusion. Whiie>
the reserves were being summoned, the
strikers threw up barbados in the SIDE

wounded and removed to the hospitals.
More of the guards were summoned,
and after ten charges carried the barri-

the Postoffice Plum at Mankato.
Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, April 17.-Not many post

made under the new administration;
however, each town has its numerous
aspirants. Perhaps no other candidate
for an important Office has so little op-
position as has Henry Robel at Man.
kato. Although it is presidential
office, there is but one active candidate
in the field. In conversation with a
friend of this gentleman today it was
learned that he was born in Mankato
township thirty-three years ago, and
has been constant resident OF Blue
Earth county, and resided in the city
fifteen years. He has ever advocated
JeffersOnian principles. Mr.. RObel is
chairman of the Democratic central
committee and member of the executive
committee of the Cleveland club, which
has done and is now doing good work
for Democracy's cause i'll this county.
He now has the support of the Demo
cratic county committee, Democratic
congressional committee, and letters of
recommendation from all the leading
Democrats of the city, together with Il
petition signed by business men of each
ward, and also from the voters of NicOl-
let county who receive mail there and
are tributary to the Mankato postoffice.
Previous to the Democratic county
convention two years ago there existed
nationality prejudice In the party in
that county. At that time w. j. Glynn
and MIR. Robel were candidates for the
Office of sheriff, the former gentleman
being broughtOut by the one national
ity, the latter by the other. Harmony
being the strength and support of all
parties. Mr.. Robel. not wishing to dis
rupt the party. voluntarily withdrew in
| favor of Mr.. Glynn. and as result the
| Democrats are holding some OF the best
Offices in the county.
IL is not generally known that Blue
Earth county is thickly populated by
| Germans, but such is the case, as fully
two-thirds of the Democratic voting
population are Germans. and they are
| united on Mr.. RObel, and demand his
| appointment His qualifications for
| carrying on the business of the office
and serving the public in an acceptable
| manner are unquestioned; and if APP
pointed he would devote his entire time
to the Office and lay aside ali business,
! and his familiarity with the German
language, together with other qualifca-
tions, fits him for the position TO which
| he aspires.
