Billy Mccarthy knocks Out La Blanche.
George La Blanche, the Marine" and Billy
Mccarthy Of Australia fought last night for a
$4,000 purse at New Orleans in the arena Of
the Crescent Athletic Club, which was crowded.
Both men were in excellent condition, though
the Marine was about pounds over weight, for
which he forfeited the money posted as guar
antee that he would scale according to the
agreement. George Scott acted as referee.
The men entered the ring at 9:15, Mccarthy
leading the procession. He was attended by
Steve Brodie, Owen Harvey and Geo. Wilson.
who acted as second, while Jim Robertson was
his timekeeper. La Blanche came few mo-
ments later accompanied BY his seconds, Harry
Black, Phoeny Lynch, Ed Blake. Frank YER
ienes and Joseph Dare were chosen timekeepsrs
for the Marine. The fight commenced at $50.
The fighting was furious for sixteen rounds.
In the fifteenth round both men were weak, and
fell to the floor. In the sixteenth Mccarthy
landed his right on La Blanche's jaw, who re-
turned light one; both fought hard In a rally.
Mccarthy landed heavy right on La Elanche's
Jaw and he barely got up In time to be thrown
through the ropes. The fight was fast and
vicious, La Blanche being the receiver in gen.
eral All through his vitality was wonderful
He was knocked to the floor with heavy right

Motion Made in a Test Case
OF Great Impor-
fanre.
Attorney Felktr Claims Interest
Should Only Be Claimed from
late OF Judgment.
More Than S25u,OOO Involved in
the Matter-Ihe Point
at issue.

Charles w. Felker has filed his brief
in case No. 2 Of the state against Phile-
tus Sawyer and the other sureties of
e4tTreasurer Harhsaw. The slIreties
ask for re-hearing on the ground that
it was error for the circuit court to allow
interest on the amount found due from
Halshaw from the first Monday in Jan
uary, 1891, that being the time of the
expiration Of his second term of office.
The excess of interest from that date to
Feb. %, 1892, the date of the circuit
court decision, is $4,4SO. The brief says
that this is an insignificant sum, but
that the principle involved is highly i'm
portant in its bearing on the cases
against ex-Treasurers NIcFetridge, Guen-
ther, Baetz and Kuehn.
Mr.. Felker insists that the cases are
numerous wherein the suprme court
has held the rule to be that interest
docs not run upon mliquidated de-
mands until the date Of the verdict or
findings of the court" In brief, the
claim is made that no interest upon
the interest appropriated by ex-Treas-
urer Harshaw shall be paid by him ex-
cept for the time elapsing since The
first judgment was given in the circuit
court.
The motion for a re-heaIing will be
argued before the supreme court in the
near future.
The principal at stake involves sums

American Capitalists Are Said to lie

PARIS, Feb. 13.-Figaro this morn
ing publishes a four-column interview
with DR.. Nunez President of Colom-
bia, signed Felix Dubois" dated
january mo date) at Carthagena des
Indies, Among other things DR.. Nunez
says:
Before all other things the Colom-
bian government will take into ac-
count the proposals of France and will
give them the preference if formal
assurance is given to the government
that the concession will be resumed"
Figaro's correspondent then goes on
to give a resume Of the tone of the local
press and the local feeling, which he
says is distinctly in opposition of the
Panama Company's concessions. Ac-
cording to DIR. Nunez this hostile feel
ing is largely due to the high handed
attitude of Bonaparte Wyse, when the
latter came over in 1891 to negotiate
in behalf of the French Company a re.
newal of the concession question ana
of the Colum bian government itself
finishing the canal then touched upon.
But this scheme was characterized by
the President as beautiful dream of
the patriot. His country had not the
resources to do it.

MINERS IN DISTRESS.
Great Destitution in the Schuylkill Re
gions-The Reading Blamed.

NEW YORK, Feb. special to the
World from Hazelton, Pa, says: he
condition of the miners throughout the
Schuylkill region, and particularly
through the districts EN- bracing the
towns of .Shamokin, Mount Carmel,
Ashland, Girardviile and Centralia, Is
verging toward starvation.
During the past three months scores
of collieries have not worked more
than two full weeks and the outlook
at present is more dismal than at any
other time during the virtual shut
down. hundreds Of families are forced
to subsist on half the usual allowance
of food and no estimate can be gwen
of the number who are compelled to
accept private charity in order to S.ep
body and soul together. Relief assOci-
atoms have been formed in nearly ali
towns, and through them many sad
cases of destltution have been reported
and temporary help given. In speak
ing Of the situation Thomas Conlin,
mem Der Of the relief committee at Cen
tralia, said:
ing prevail throughout this district.
You can form no idea Of how bad it is
unless you visit them. In one house
we found a women preparing supper
for herself and four small children.
She divided piece Of black bread be-
tween them, and in pot on the fire
she had brewed black coffee from
burned bread crust. The childrcns
faces were pinched and their clothes
were patched and hung in rags. The
mothers face was pale and haggard,
Her husband had left home that
morning to again try to secure work.
She told me that their face for weeks
had been just what ! saw Many days
she had been without a bite, and
m at was entirely unknown to them"
Many st ,re-keepers have closed their
doors, being forced to the wall, and
others have adopted cash trade sys-
TEN. On the street corners knots Of
men gather, gravelv discussing the de-
plora bic condition of things. Numer-
Gus theories are advanced as the real
cause of the depression. They claim
that the price of coal just now at tide
water is higher and the demand more
active than it has been for years, and
they fail to understand why the Read
ing company refuses to operate its
mines. The company, on the other
hand, announces that it is difficult to
supply the cars and that the extremely
cold weather has made it impossible to
move loaded trains between Palo Alto
and Port Richmond, and that it's ex
pertinent lately of washing the coal at

from the cars owing to its'being frozen.
Many cars burst open their sides while

COLLIN5 FOR ENGLAN

London.
WAsHINGToN, Feb 13-Tha gossip
goes that Editor Morss of Indian
apoils has been virtually knoclle' out
by Gen. Pat Collins of Boston for the
post of consul-general at London.
Those Hoosier friends of Editor Morss
who thought the only proper retribu-
ton that could be visited on Editor
New was to have him succeeded by
his local journalistic rival will proba-
bly, not be gratifed. The Massa chu-
sets delegation claims to have positive
information that the eloquent Boston

Egan and maintained the political
equilibrium of the Irish vote is to be
recognized by the most lucrative posi-
ton in the gift of the new admin istra-
ton.

quent Gen. Collins flashes his creden-
tials, tied with green ribbon, on John
Bull will 1T is conservatively estimat tied,
disturb aldermanic conclaves, disrupt
the police forces and send cold shiver
down the spine Of doomed diplomat
in the elongated republic of .far-away
South America. The New Englanders
talk of Gen. Collins chances with an
air Of assurance that is as bracing as a
breeze from Buzzard's Bay. It is stated
in this connection, in an equally au-
thoritative way that Editor Morss'
beautiful whiskers will not be lost en-
tirely to the diplomatic and consular
service, but will go to ornament some
other consularship, less lucrative, but
quite in keeping with his high ability
and close relat ions with Mr.. Cleveland.
With ex-Gov. Gray shifted from the
abinet possibilities to the list of avail
able diplomatic timber Indiana will
be in for three important places in
that line of government service, as

said to be booked for a foreign mis-

FOR AMERICA.
Tho Star Spanyled Banner Toasted by
Moorish Hunters.

mo star Spangled Banner Toasted BY
Moorish Hunters.
The author of Morocco as 1t Isl had,
as leader of his caravan, a man named
Salem, who styled himself the khalifa,
or second in command. This man had
a small English vocabulary, and one
day surprised the traveller with an I'M
expected display of borrowed patriot
ism.
The party had stopped in the midst
of a boar hunt to take luncheon, and
as they were sitting on the mountain
side, overlooking the sea, the khalifa
suddenly proposed the toast of ''The
Star Spangled Banner"
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when hunters and heaters to the
number Of fifty or sixty, who were
sitting about hungrily waiting for the
bones of the feast, sprang to their feet
and shouted: Zip, hip, hoorayr'
The Moorish accent of the words
made the occurrence all the more
amusing. When the traveller expressed
his surprise at hearing that familiar
toast in foreign land the khalifa
laughed and said
''Why shouldn't they shout for the
stars and stripes? They are good Amer
leans, as their fathers were before
them. Let's hold a political meetingl"
He then explained that, sixty years
before, the village had been taken
under American protection by the con-
sui and that 1t had remained loyal ever
