THE WILSON BILL ABROAD.

Passage.

Passage.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Daily News COM
menting upon the passage OF the Wilson
tariff bill In the American House Of Repre-
sentatives says: 'it fulflls President Cleve-
lands pledge to the nation and comes only
just in time to restore the wanting indus
trial property in the United States 1t Is
hardly a free trade measure but II re-
moves some monstrous burdens from the
national industry which the protection oil
garchy imposed upon the country The bill
deals tenderiy with many interests which
are still able to establish a claim to be cod
died for the national good. 1t is not likely
that the Senate will modify the bill much.
The country wants it. The Widespread mis-.
cry has pleaded against the old iniuuity
more strongly than words are able to do y
The Chronicle commenting on the passage
of the bill says that the measure Is so COM
promising that advanced men have little
enthusiasm over it. but II adds, even a
truncated measure heralds the brea kdown OF
protection. More important, 1t says, is the
adoption of the income tax as q part of tne
measure. TIE Senate will reject this fea
ture Of the bill and will pass the tariff bill
In a modified form.

CHICAGO, Feb. "A sporting writer
with statistical turn of mind, who was
present at the Corbett-Mitchell contest, SAYS
that there were twenty-seven blows struck
and of these he credits twenty-five to Cor

summary Mitchell hit Corbett four times on
the body and once on the face while the
champion scored eighteen face and four
body blows. The relative gait of Sullivan
and Mitchell is illustrated in the fact that
it required lS6 blows TO vanquish Sullivan,
while twenty-five were sufficient for Mitch

Admiral Benham's action toward the re-
