by q man who CHANGED to be passing
along the highway, and who rushed TO the
house and battered down the door when
he heard the cries of the children. He
could not reach the smallest one, which
was then enveloped in flames.

A SPLIT AMONG TORIES.
Bal'our's Leadership Is Likely to Soon Be-
come a Thing Of the Past

IoNpoN, March S.-There II another mu-
tiny In the Tory camp against Balfour's
leadership. IL came as sequel TO Cham
berlain's letter TO The Times character
izing the government proposal TO suspend
the midnight rule and enable the house to
pass the naval vote as dirty trick" Sir
William Harcourt, who was leading the
house In the absence OF Mr.. Gladstone, ex-
planned that the government had no inten-
tion unduly To rush the votes. Mr.. Bal
four thereupon announced that he would
not oppose the motion TO suspend the rule
A section Of the Unionists declined to
confirm this compromise between the two
front benches and challenged q division,
whereupon Mr. Balfour, with the whole
front opposition benches, with the excep-
ton Of Sir John Gorst, Indignantly quilted
the house.
The malcontent Conservatives, number
Ing ll9, voted against the motion, and the
government, through the Conservative
split. got the brilliant majority OF l56. Mr..
Chamberlain was piqued at being left in
the lurch, but accepted the situation and
abstained from voting, though afterward
he warmly demonstrated with Mr.. Bal
four, whose position is becoming unten-
able. Lord Salisbury has come to the res
cue OF his nephew and called q meeting OF
the Conservative peers at the Carlton club,
ostensibly TO discuss the opposition to
home rule, but really to endeavor to Sc
cure the discipline Of the unruly Unionists.

New ORR EANs. March s--Mike DAILY OF
Bangor, Me, made a game fight last night
before the Crescent Athletic club against
Austin Gibbons Of Paterson, y, j., but
was beaten ia 81 rounds. The Paterson
lad had the advantages Of youth and a
longer reach, and although triile SUI
perior in science, DAILY could not with
stand the fierce rushes Of bis opponent II
was fierce fight, with the exception Of
few rounds toward the close, when both
were disposed To spar for wind.
From start 10 finish both men were In
clined TO fight foul. the Maine man being
the especial offender in this respec, and the
referee had TO warn him several times
against using his knees on Gibbons body.
Several times during the fight DAILY was
groggy and was saved by the ringing OF
the gong The terrific punching lac re
ceived speaks volumes for his good CON
dition. Gibbons seemed disposed To take
his time all through the battle and on
several occasions refrained from following
up his advantage when it looked as though
victory was within his grasp. The spec
tators again and again cheered the Bangor
boy for his gameness
The men fought for purse OF $500, and
$500 people saw the battle. Gibbons was
the favorite in the betting. He was sec
onded by James Gibbons, Rick Gibbons
Doth of Paterson), George Dawson, the
Australian, and George Mcdonald of Chi
cago. Behind DAILY were William DAILY,
Jr., of Boston, Alex Gregggains and Joe
Choyinski of San Francisco His time
keeper was Dan Murphy OF Boston. Pro
fessor Duffy was referee. Most Of the
Boston sports had their money placed on

IN CENTRAL FALLS:
A Rather Obnoxious Police
Officer
MAKES THINGS UNPLEASANT
Business Mems Association to Meet.
A Batch Of Breezy Notes

One of the troublesome figures of ths
pr, sent town administration Is Officer
Souci OF Manville. He caused the
crowned heads OF his party more anxiety
than they care to tell about In public. It
is in the rooms Of the Republican Associ-
alton and other places deemed secure that
this bluecoat Is heartily d-d.
Officer Souci, so the men who are re-
sponsible for his official existense say, has
penchant for getting into trouble, but
finds 1t quite difficult to get out. Moth
ing Is said to suit the Msnville guardian
OF the peace better than arresting his fell
low citizens and placing them in durancs
vile.
He very frequently has alleged offenders
before the District Court, but somehow
or other fails to secure their conviction
in majority of cases. lie is particularly
strong on the arrest, but unfortunately
for him terribly weak on the convict.
Yesterday this Lincoln Hawkshaw had
an assault case before Judge Gon. IL
involved three Manville citizens az
principals and several others as witnesses.
After listening to the evidence pro and
con the courl discharged the prisoners
and dismissed the case. At this the Man
Vile life and property protector looked
very severe, but the court didn't seem to
mind II a bit.
The town will have a neat bill to pay
for witness fees, and thus the "business"
administration maintains its record.

Last nights meeting of the Ballou
Post, @. A. r., was one of the most impor-
tant held for some time. Commander
O'Sullivan occupied the chair and there
was very large attendance of members.
After the transaction of routine business,
several matters of special interest were
considered. The Department OF Rhode
Island has at present no more progressive
post than Ballou No. 3, and this fact is
due in no small measure to the character
of the efficiency OF the present board OF
officers Of the local post.

Mr. Won der \ he left for st Louis because
of his sons serious illness and appointed
Mr.. Soden Of Boston a. his proxy.
Mr.. Robinson objected To many changes
made by the committee on rules. and
wished to have the rules thoroughly In
terppted before he would vote The most
important change was the moving OF the
pitcher from his present position To the
center Of the diamond, or 40 feet inches
from the home plate. The change also
provides that the pitchers position shall
be marked by rubber plate ~ inches
long and inches wide, so fixed as to bs

John II. Ward, captain of the New York
team, and Pat Tebeau Of the Cleveland

rules, and though they favor the removal
OF the pitcher from his present position,
they did not favor the idea of his being
