CODY NOT BELLIGERENT.
Buffalo Bill Denies Duel Rumors
Friends Affirm Them.

Chicago, Feb. 21-Col. William F.
Cody has arrived in Chicago from
Washington. AS to rumor that he
had called on a friend at ST. Paul to
act as his second in duel with Fred
May the Colonel said: II am not going
fight duel with anybody. May has
not challenged me and l am sure l
have not challenged him."
Upon his arrival here Col Cody
DR.. Frank Powell Mayor Of La Crosse,
Wis, saying: Il am yours to COM
nand on all occasions and in every
emergency" This undoubtedly gave
rise to the rumor that he had asked a
northwestern friend to act as his
second. The Colonel and DR.. Powell
have been close friends for long time.
st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 21-Frank
Powell, mayor of La Crosse, who has
for the last twenty years been a warm
friend of Col. Cody, said that there
would certainly be a duel if Fred May
could be coaxed to fight. Mayor Powell
said further.
The trouble was not over an actress,
but over an American girl who was
visiting in London when both Col
Cody and May were there. This girl
went to Col. Cody one afternoon and
told him she objected to Mays atten-
tons. This was in 1887. Col. Cody
agreed to See May and get him to stop
visiting the girl. A few days later
May and Cody were present at the
same banquet and Col. Cody calmly
said to May that he ought, as a gen
! tleman, to discontinue his offensive
attentions. May grew red in the face
and wanted to fight then and there
There was no blood shed because of
the interference Of others.
May kept up his visits to the Ameri
can girl and she came to Col. Cody one
afternoon crying, and said that May
was becoming offensive that she could
no longer bear him. At this Col. Cody
wrote May the following: II will whip
you on sight" The men had not met
! in nearly seven years, but Col. Cody
| started in to keep his word and would
| have succeeded if the people present
in the Washington restaurant had not
got between them.

ELIOT ON SPORTS.
HARVARD'S PRESIDENT SAYS
RULES MUST BE CHANGED.
Dangers of College Athletics Pointed
Out-Must Be Fewer Foot
ball Collisions.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2O.--The re
port of President Eliot, of Harvard
University, with it's much discussed
attack upon college sports was made
public today. He says in part:
In many comparative sports which
give rise to exciting intercollegiate
contests, namely boat racing, baseball
and football, there have been developed
in recent years some evils of serious
nature. No sport which requires Of
players more than two hours a day
during the term time is fit for college
use
ITO become brutal and brutalilng
is the natural tendency of all sports
which involve violent personal collision
between players, as in football"
In the matter Of remedies the presi-
dent suggests the following changes.
L. There should be no freshman in
ter-collegiate matches or races.
?. No games, intercollegiate or other.
should be played on any other but
college fields belonging to one of the
competing colleges or in a college
town.
3. No professional student should
take part in any intercollegiate con-
tests.
4. No student should be a member
of a university team or crew in more
than one sport within the same year
B. No football should be played until
the rules are amended so as to dimin-
ish the number and violence of the
collisions between the players and to
provide for the enforcement of rules.
6. Intercollegiate contests in any
one sport should not take place oftene-
than every other year. eezs5..-. II.

to show that the volume of business

creasing shipments of merchandise to
other countries foreign exchange rises

The volume Of domestic trade does
not seem to increase. Industrial
changes have been few, but little

London, Feb. 23.-The case of Mrs.
John Biddulph Martin, formerly Vic
toria Woodruff, against the trustees OF
the British museum, was heard before
the high court of justice today.
Mrs. Martin some time ago obtained
an order from the courts directing the
trustees of the museum TO divulge the
names Of donors to the museum of
two books relating to the Beecher
Tilton trial. Mrs. Martin declared
that the first of these books imputed
that she, as Victoria Woodruff, had
published ibelous and obscene litera-
ture. The second book purported to
contain statements made during the
Beecher-Tilton litigation which, she
claimed, reflected upon her.
In court today il Richard Webster
represented the plaintiff. He said the
books contained asinary interviews
with Miss Woodruff in which she was
quoted as stating that Mr.. Tilton had
been her lover, that she has lived with
him for three month and he called her
/ queen of prostitutes"
Miss Woodruff was charged in these
interviews with Matchmaking Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher and the counsel
asserted that the interviews made
similar charge against Miss Woodruff
sister. Sir Richard read extracts from
the works of Miss Woodruff advocat-
| ing purity between the sexes. Sir
Richard said that Miss Woodruff, until
she met Mr.. Martin, lived a life of
struggle and suffering.
Mrs. Martin took the stand and said
| that the interview published in Chi
cago paper in 1872 and copied into the
book donated to the museum, and
which was one of those which she
complained against, had never oc
CURED. The statements that were made
in the interview were false. When
asked whether she had ever been
guilty of immortality, Mrs. Martin said
that from 1870 to 1887 she was daily
before the American public and nc
charge had ever been made against
her character.
Sir Charles Russell, attorney general
who appeared for the trustees of thu
museum, severely cross examined Mrs
Martin in regard to her life as stool
broker and actress in San Francisco.
Replying to the questions Mrs. Mar
tin said that the prosecution agains
her in the United States on charges
of sending obscene matter through thu
mails had resulted in acquittal thu
government being forced to abandon
the prosecution as a result of public
opinion.
When questioned in regard to Rev
Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Martin sait
that if the Beecher-Tilton case wa
tried again in London she must have
time to prepare her case.
After considerable testimony wa
taken the case was adjourned.
