Washinoton's Birthday.

Today marks the anniversary Of the birth
Of George Washington, and will be OBJ
served throughout this country ~ legal
holiday 1t will, also, lead the thought Of
the people back to the early days of the re-
public. How firmly have we adhered to,
and how far have we departed from the
civic virtues that lend lustre to the just
fame of the patriots of the Revolution, and
of which the Father of Our Country was
the ideal embodiment. These are ques-
tons that the lovers of American insti-
tutions will certainly ponder today as they
review the glorious page that records the
immortal life work of the republics first
President. How vast a change from Wash
ington to Cleveland. Who could imagine
the first President of this republic plotting
the overthrow of friendly government in
order that he might restore bar
throne from which she had been driven by
the intelligent and civilized portion of her
subjects? Who could conceive of his using
the supreme court of the United States - a
theatre for the display of his petty political
animosities? Who could conceive of his
enforcing policy for the upbuilding OF
foreign industries at the expense OF those
of hi, own country? Who, in
short, could imsgine him anything
but patriot at al times-a clean, temper
ate, honest, earnest man, with . heart de-
voted to his country's welfase: The con-
trast between such man and the present
Chief Executive Of this country 10 painful
one, and viii not fail to occasion serious
thought among the people of this country
asthey pause today from their business
pursuits to DO honor to the memory of the
great American who was first in war, first

trymen."

THE BIG FIGHT OFF.
1t is Said That jackson Would Not Sign
the Articles.


the Articles.
CHICAGO, September 12.-Jackson has
refused to sign the articles to fight Cor
bett. Edward Lloyd, representing the
Sioux City Club, met Jackson and his
manager, "Parson" Davies, at the
Briggs House at noon. Lloyd produced
the papers, which Corbett had signed in
New York. Jackson glanced over them,
and at once said they would not do.
81 will fight for your purse and side
bet OF $1,000" he said, "but the fight
will have to come off within three
months"
"That's the idea exactly" said Da-
vies. "Corbett is on the stage now, and
we don't intend to advertise him until
next May or June. This agreement calls
for fight between May Is and June Is.
Now you people name your place and
make the time within the next three
months, and jackson will sign"
This Lloyd said he could not do, and
Davies proceeded to pick flaws with the
papers. He declared the deal did not
look honest. No place was named; there
was no specification as TO whether the
men would fight ten rounds or ten years
or to a finish, and the whole matter had
peculiar look. Jackson chimed in with
an objection to fighting at any outdoor
place.
81 want to fight before a club and in
house," he said. 81 don't want the
affair to take place in field or tent"
| Lloyd became considerably excited
over the fun Davies poked at the papers,
but kept his temper and tried hard to
obtain the necessary signatures. He de-
clared positively, however, he could not
bring off the fight in the time specified
by Jackson.
Its three months or nothing" de-
clared Davies, and Jackson added, "That's
right" "Well, it's off," said Davies as
he picked up his hat. did not like
the looks Of this thing, anyway"
1t was announced later that Jackson
would leave for New York tonight and
Immediately sail for the West Indies
whence he goes to London.

CoRBETT HEARD FROM.
| WASHINGTON, September 12.-Cham.
pion Corbett talked freely tonight con.
cerning Jackson's refusal to sign articles
for fight under the auspicies OF the
Sioux City Athletic Club next year. Cor.
bett insisted that Jackson's objections
to the conditions of the articles that they
failed to point out the place of fighting
and duration of fight were very trivial
and ought not to have any consideration
in the minds Of people. He pointed out
in this connection that in his fight with
Mitchell there was no certainty regard.

the day before the battle.
"Will you accommodate Jackson by
agreeing to fight him within three
months as he desires?" Corbett was
asked.
Certainly; Twill fight him in three
months, or in two weeks, and even to.
morrow, if it were possible" replied
Corbett.

EQUAL r:.urs ASKED.
Reason Why the Trancontinental Lines
Have Failed.


ST. PAUL, September 11.-An official
OF the Great Northern tonight gave the
press the following statement of inside
facts OF the recent unsuccessful attempt
to reorganize the Transcontinental As
sociation. The representatives OF the
transcontinental lines adjourned Satur-
day night without having made any de-
cided progress in the formation OF an as.
sociation. The Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company was asked to be-
come member of the association, which
was to be established for the maintenance
OF rates. The road signified its willing
ness, and was represented at the meet
ing, but requested before an organiz-
alton was made that it be placed on
terms OF equality with the other trans
continental lines by an equal represen-
tation of tickets with the Southern Pa
clfic that other lines through Portland
enjoyed, claiming the right in connection
with its steamship lines to make the
same rates through Portland as were
made by the Pacific Steamship Company
through Seattle. 1t did not ask for diff
Ierential fares, but simply for equal rates.
The Southern Pacific Company declined
to interchange traffic with the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company un-
less it would agree to maintain by its
water routes the same rates as made by
the Southern Pacific over its Shasta
route and ignore the competition of the
Pacific Steamship Company through
Seattle. The Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION deemed this proposition unfair,
and declined to join in any agreement
till it was placed on terms of equality
with the other roads represented at the
meeting. The position of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation was fully in
dorsed by the Great Northern, with
which the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion has recently made arrangements for
an interchange of traffic through Spo-

STOOD IN WITH THIEVES.


New YORK, September 1.-THE in
vestigation OF the police department was
resumed to-day by the Lexow commit
tee OF the State Senate. Mr.. Golf was
nquisitor-in-chief. He first stretched
Detective Sergeant Charles A. Hanley
upon the rack. The handsome gold
watch which Hanley carried served for
a text for Goff's interrogations, which
were directed to showing the police were
upon too friendly terms with the pawn
brokers for the good of the public, and
that 1T was not uncommon for pawn
brokers to sell officers valuable articles
at ridiculously low prices. Golf also
questioned Hanley as to his relations
with Jimmy McNally, well known as
Green-Goods Jim," the interrogations
implying the thief taker had accepted
gifts at the hands of the man whom he
denounced as thief. The detective was
asked if he ever received money from
McNally, and made an equivocal answer.
This was followed by the question if he
had not received from McNally two
handsome banquet lamps. His reply
was:
81 don't know anything about the
lamps. My wife got them"

THE APILLI DISASTER.
Twelve Bodies Have Been Taken From
the Wreck.


PARIS, September 1.-THE disaster to
the Paris and Cologne express train at
Apilli, between Noyon and Chauny, yes
terday was more serious than at first
supposed. The first estimates placed
the number OF persons killed at ten, with
twenty injured. Twelve bodies have
already been taken from the wreck. The
accident was due to the slow shunting of
freight train at Apilli. The engineer
of the express saw the cars on the line,
and reversed the engine. The shock of
the collision was borne by the three front
cars. As soon as the accident became
known priest and Others hurried to the
railroad station, and did everything to
assist the dying and injured. The re-
port that the station master at Apilli
had committed suicide by jumping in
front of the express train when he saw
the collision was inevitable turns out in
correct. The station master ran along
the track to signal the express and the
freight train, and was caught between
the two trains and killed. 1t seems
certain there were Americans among the
killed or injured.

claims of the letter carriers for back
pay, for which judgments were rendered
by the Court OF Claims and for which
appropriations were made in the last

however, are still pending before the
Court OF Claims; but it is expected when
the court meets October - judgment in
those pending will be quickly rendered,
based on the decisions in former cases.
