CORBETT SORRY.
He Says BOwen's Death Will BE a
Blow to Pugilism.

bett, being asked: What do you think of
Lavigne killing Andy Bowen in their fight
last night? Give your version of the kind
of a blow Lavigne delivered" said: us
Bowen dead? Truly I'm sorry TO hear it.
1 read the account of the fight in this
mornings newspaper. but had not heard
of his death, and was hoping that the worst
fears were ungrounded. AS to the blow, /
do not know what kind of one Lavigne
used, but it must have been a terrible one
1t will hurt pugilism and makes me more
eager than ever to get out of the busi-
ness.
do you not believe the refinement of the
so-callea glove contests of recent years. un-
der Queensberry rules, as compared with
the time-honored London ring rules with
bare knuckles, on the turf, is subject to
doubt in the light OF the numerous fatali-
ties and serious injuries that have taken
placer
NO; I don't. The many fatalities that
have taken place of late cannot, / believe,
be ascribed to the style of fighting, but to
the men who use it. In these days fighters
train more, are i'm better condition and in
every respect more skillful and scientific
than they were in the days when the Lon
don prize ring rules were in vogue. One
reason why so many more accidents attend
boxing these days is that the boxers pick
out vital spots which to strike q man
and with added skill, are able to reach
their aim more often. The boxers of to-day
are more scientific than those of former
days, and TO this alone may be charged
most of the recent accidents. The contests
under London prize ring rules were far
more brutal than those fought under
Queensberry rules. London rules permit a
man to throw his antagonist and then Jump
on him after he is down. No; don't be-
ieve there can be any comparison between
the two methods of fighting"

CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.

II viii Be Recommended by Secretary
Morton in His Annual Report.
In his annual report to be submitted in No
vember Secretary Morton, of the Department
of Agriculture, will comment on the influence
of civil service reform in his department
When Secretary Morton received his ap-
pointmeDt he was mild advocate of civil
reform, and he has subsequently become
thoroughly in sympathy with its principles.
1t is stated that he believes in merit as the
sole criterion as to the promotions and other
changes in the official personnel. In many
cases where not legally required he has ap-
piled civil service methods in ordering compet-
tive examinations. as in the recent examina-
tions for professorships in the Weather Bu-
reau. He will probably urge extensive civil
service reforms in the lower grades, and so
as TO include several chiefs of important di-
visions as well. unique departmental de-
parture, as there are now no division chiefs
in the government who are within the CLASH
fed service. In this connection the report is
expected to touch on the entirely voluntary
action OF the Secretary in placing ali meat
and animal Inspectors within the classified
service.
Another feature of the report may be dis
cussion of the effect OF the new law placing
appropriations for experiment stations under
Federal supervision. This action was fore
shadowed IN the last annual report. Secre-
tary Morton, Assistant Secretary Dabney, and
the directors Of experiment stations have been
engaged for some time in preparing schedules
for the reports which will hereafter be made
by the stations These forms will be issued
in few days. The present appropriation for
the work is S745 900, and each station is
placed under rigid requirements to account
for the $4,000 placed at its disposal.

Let the Public Judge.

EDITOR TIMES: The commissioners ap-
pointed by the President to investigate the re-
cent strike are holding open sessions in Chi
cago-sessions which are supposed to be re-
ported truthfully by the press. Can you tell
me how two papers can publish absolute con-
Trajectory reports of evidence there given? In
THE TIMES of this morning find the follow
ing:
"Can you show us copy of your contract
with the Pullman Company" asked Commis-
sioner Herman.
Il can show you the contract il you will
regard it as private matter. 1 do not wish
to have it published in the newspapers"
This proposition was refused, and Mr.. ST.
John was asked if the contract compelled his
company to haul Pullmans on all passenger
trains.
NO" was the answer. "We can haul Pull
mans on any trains we choose and need not
haul them unless we wish.
NOT COMPELLED TO HAUL PULLMANs.
"Then you were not compelled to haul
Pullmans during the striker"
''No; we were not"
The Posts report is the same up to the re-
fusal of the contract by the commission,
but what follows exactly contradicts the tes-
timony of Mr.. st. John, as given by The
TIMES. Here is what the Post says
when asked about the relation between
the Pullman Company and the Rock Island
road Mr.. st. John rendered the commission
the contract, but asked that it be kept from
the general public. After comforting the COM
mission refused to take it on these terms
The Rock Island Company owns a half inter-
est in all the Pullman ears. BY the contract
the Rock Island is obliged to operate the Pull
man cars-strike or no strike"
THE TIMES reports Mr.. ST. John as saying
that the Rock Island need not haul Pullman
cars unless it wished to. The Post reports
Mr.. st. John as saying that the Rock Island
is compelled TO haul Pullman cars whether il
wished to or not.
Who is the liar? Is THE TIMES garbling
the evidence in the interest of labor, or is the
Post garbling the evidence in the interest oil
the railroad corporations? Yours truly,
j. |. PIERCE.

TO see that the press had stated that the

sion. But it all has been explained. While
the reporters made the mistake in announc-
ing that the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing would be represented by sixteen pretty
girls instead of the q. p. O., still it is whIs-
pered that the ladies of the Bureau don't pro-
pose to let the announcement be a mistake
and will cone to the rescue and make the an
nouncement good by appearing. The other
floats will be the horseshoers, eccentric en-
