some days has been hanging around the
hotel trying to see her. Tonight he
managed to see her, and, after talking a
moment, made an attempt to cut her
with razor. She fled through the hall,

the razor across her throat, nearly
cutting her head off. AS she fell he cut
his own throat, and by the time the
screams of the other chambermaidS who
saw the murder had brought help from
the Office, Eek was dead. The woman
had died without struggle. The woman

HAVANA, March Ga serious conflict
occurred yesterday at Alenendares,
which nearly resulted in a serious in
jury to number of American young
women. A party of Americans, known
as the american Female Base Ball
club" have been going about playing
against Cuban clubs, and otherwise eX-
hibIting themselves with more or
less success. Yesterday the Ameri-
can Female Base Ball club was
playing at Alenendares. their opponents
men of good class. The majority of
the spectators we're respectable and
we'll behaved, but the attendance also
included a share of the lowest dTegS of
society. These latter became irritated
at the playiuGDf the American visitors,
and some of them claimed to be con-
vinced that it was simply farcical and
did not show professional skill. They
claimed the young women were, in
fact, not players at all, and that the
money of the spectators had been re-
ceiVed under false pretenseS, and ought
to be restored. The malcontents clam
ored loudly for the restoration of their
money, and at length became so eX-
cited that they broke the seats and
set fire 10 the fences around the play
ground. This caused CONSERVATION
among the female PLAYERS, and several OF
them nearly swO0ned with fright. The
mob. encouraged by impunity, attempted
to attack the players, who were gal
lantly defended by the young men of
the Cuban base ball club and by the re-
spectacle majority of the spectators.
Horrible confusion ensued, and the
shriekS of the frightened young women
could be heard mingled with the exc
crations of the mob. All the players,
male and female, tOok refuge in a
house. The mob pursued them and
succeeded in obtaining entrance. Then
the rioters pillaged the house. The
Cuban players fought bravsly to save
the young women. otherwise more Of
them would have been hurt. The po-
lice arrived on the scene at length, and
succeeded in dispensing the mob and
giving protection to the young women.

Friends and Makes Speech.
Special to the Globe.
MICHIGAN CITY, n. D., March c.
Senator Lamb was rendered an enthusi-
astic reception by his friends and neigh
bors on his arrival home from Bismarck
today. A large delegation from Lakota
came in on the evening train to assist
in making the entertainment pleasant.
All repaired to the senator's home
and presented him with an ele-
CANT gold-headed cane, the preSenta-
ton speech being made by CharlesAdler
of Lakota. Senator Lamb was taken by
surprise. but proved equal to the occa-
sion and responded with few we'll
chosen remarks. He reviewed briefly
the senatorial contest and showed that
the Democrats were not willing to elect
an Independent, but by electing DEM
ocrat they were now indebted to the In
dependents instead of the Independents
being indebted to them as they claimed
before the election of Roach. He touched
on all important measures brought be-
fore the legislature the past session,
showing that several important bills had
en.lost (purposely, of course). "Re-
garding resubmissioD, he said: | am
opposed to resubmissiou, and always
have been, and am ready any time to
give an explanation OH my vote OH this
or any other measure that was brought
before the third legislature" He hoped
that the present system of electing
United States senators would be speed
lily altered, and they would be elected
by the direct vote of the people and not
retard legislation as itnoW does.

says that there seems to be

one knows how TO do it better than
myself. Suppose L should get lick
that daZes me and | don't know what to
do, how can my seconds help me to
undo that lick?' He was told that some
people had an idea that he could not
take punishment. His reply 10 this was:
There are big lot Of stiffs who
think that before man can become a
great boxer he must stand up and get
beaten half to death. Now, my idea is
to give to and to get away from punish
ment. like to avoid anything like a
good punch. Hall will get a lick for
every one he gives. l am going to be
with him at every stage of the game,
and if can help myself his gloves shall
never be put on me-"
He was asked today how he intepded
to fight, whether he would rush or make
a Corbett and Mitchell affair by getting
out of the way for the first few rounds.
He said he could not tell until he got
into the ring.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Congress Will Not Meet Before the

WASHINGTON, March 6.--The Star
has this: 1t is now practically settled
that there will be no extra session of the
Fifty-third congress. 1t has been evil
dent since the silver men showed the
strength they had in the two houses of
congress that there would be no spring
session called to repeal the Sherman
law. Now it is settled, as we'll as any
thing can be so far in advance, that
there will be no session in the fall, and
that congress will not get together be-
fore the regular time of meeting. This
means, of course, that the president is
satisfied that he was misled as to the
possibility of doing anything with sill
yer in the Dev congress immediately.
and that he do not propose to force
the fighting ,efore the sentiment in
favor of his position, which he hopes to
grow, has ha more time to be de-
yeloped. 1t said to mean also that
an administra n tariff bill is to be pre-
pared in the reasury department and
sent to congress in December.

advantage Of their earlier successes. 1t

THE CHAMPIONS.
A Prognostication as to the Corbe'
Mitchell Fight.

Representation to the Corbett-
Mitchell Fight.
There is a man, now in Arizona,
who has predicted the outcome of
every champion or other big boxing con-
test for the last 10 years and has never
failed, with the exception of the Sulli-
VAN -Corbett match, on which he lost
money. This man is well-known
athlete himself, his name heing familiar
in California as Captain Dick, an old
time plainsman and scout. Lately in q
letter received by his attorney in Los
Angeles he speaks of the Corbett-
Mitchell fight in December as follows: !:
"Jim Corbett, the American cham
pion, will have not exactly soft snap,
but it's dead cinch for Gentleman
JIM anyway. Corbett will have no
need to exert himself to defeat Mitchell,
the English champion, in about %
rounds. But if he desires to rush mat
ters, which | know Corbett will not do,
rounds. Reasons: Corbett is a much
Younger and more active man than
Mitchell. who has in the last eight or
nine years learned very little in addi-
ton to what be knew when fought Sui
liyan, the wonder of the prize ring. But
then he only weighed about 165 pounds,
and his muscles and sinews were as
epringy and supple as those of young
tiger. But today look at him; he will
strip at least at 1856 pounds, loss of 20
pounds in his activity and speed. gain
in dead weight detrimental to champion
fighter, who, in his prime only weighed
1853 pounds. Mitchell may be harder
hitter than Corbett, but he is afraid to
touch the young Oalifornian's head, for
his hands ale never in good
condition, and the fear of break
ing a bone in his fist will
keen Mitchell watching for a chance to
knock Corbett out with a stomach or
heart blow, which Corbett will never
give him. The pugilist's fist is his
principal weapon outside OF wind and
science.
Corbett has splendid, well-devel-
oped hand Gin fact perfect. Mitchells
fist is not made for prize-hghter. It's
the hand of a big butcher, fat and
fleshy, the Joints in constant danger of
becoming dislocated. If his hands
were as good as his hitting power and
as his powerful arm, then | would ad-
wise my Los Angeles and Frisco friends
to put all they can ecrape together on
the Englishman. But under existing
circumstances | warn my friends to be
careful in their choice. for Corbett is 60
ing to be the winner and will keep his
champion belt, as little Dixon did. l
know Mitchell and saw him fight when
in his prime. OF course. felt very
sorry for the California boy but, as a
matter OF business, advised my friends
quietly to stake their money on Dixon,
as a sure winner in ten rounds. am
very CORY for little Smith, but Dixon is
a wonder like Jackson.
