John l.. VIII Chail-nge the Winner of
the II irain-O'Donnei Fight.
BOSTON. Mass, March 16.-John L. Sui
livan viii challenge tue winner of the
Kirai no O'Donnell fight here Monday
night. John has not proclaimed this pub
licly. but made the declaration in a re-
cent conversation with Captain Bill Daily
and Dan Murphy, and arranged with the
former to care for his end of the affair.
As Captain Daily will not attend the fight,
Sullivan personally at the ringside will
announce his challenge. Many of his
friends look askance upon his PROPOSE
ton. In fact, while perhaps they will not
regard a challenge to Kilrain. one who has
SuliIvan's interests at heart tod an asso-
ciated press reporter tonight that de-
termined effort would he made to prevent
the "big fellow" from meeting O'Donnell,
should the latter win his contest with

WASHINGTON. March 16.-It appears
that the question as to whether the Itali-
ans killed at Walsenburg, Colo, were or
were not naturallzed citizens will play an
important part in the settlement IN the
issue with the Italian government. Gov
ernor Mcintyre of Colorado telegraphed
Secretary Gresham to-day that two of the
lynched Italians had certainly taken out
first and probably second naturalization
papers, but it is not known whether Dl-
nino was naturallzed. 1t was also as
serted that the two Italians VINO escaped
from the mob had also taken out papers.
IL is not known what became OF these two
men. The governor has already instructed
the judicial Off 'ers to prosecute the search
for the perpetrators of the attack vigor-
ously, and when found to endeavor to Sc
cure their conviction. Baron Fava, the
Italian ambassador, to-day hal pleas
ant interview with Secretars Gresham.
The amba ssador was assured that nothing
had occurred to disturb the cordial rea-
tions between himself and the govern
ment of the United States, showing that
the state department does not intend to
take cogniz tnce OF the fact that the baron
communicated directly with the governor
of Colorado instead of through the de-
partment of state in the Walsenburg af-

Autumn Trial Eight expenses,

The above Is an estimate for the an-
 nual necessary outlay of each club,
 from beginning to end of practice in di-
 rect connection with the race. It does
 not include cost of maintaining boat l houses, repairs, rates and taxes. Nor 1 does it include the outlay in hospitality at the dinner which follows the race Thereat, alternately, the clubs enter
 tain the two crews stand the band and
 invite representatives of all leading
 boat clubs. "Old Blues" who attend the dinner pay for themselves. Nor does it include cost of hire of launch to carry the umpire at the race-a mod ern innovation. Nor is there any entry of those 'sundries," which, too petty for general estimate often run to dou- ble figures before balance sheet is made up. Critical f1nanciers and housekeepers must bear in mind that these figures are given offhand, with out the advantage of refreshing the memory by reference to treasurers' ac- counts, and at best are only rendered as samples and averages. Probably from year to year, even when no extra racing boats have to be ordered, the total ex- penses may vary fifty pounds and up wards. In case it should seem strange that the crews are franlzed as to house. keeping when away from the universi- ty, it must be borne in mind that while the parents of many of them would gladly pay three figures to see their sons gazetted in the race, there must inevitably be instances where incum- bentS with quiverfuls, and also half pay officers, might hesitate, in justice to their belongings, to find the necessa- " subsidy if their sons had to stand all share of expenses. gNo invidious dis functions could be made to injure the feelings of those who could i'll afford the outlay; nor would it be satisfactory that the selection of a crew should in any way be affected by depth of purse. Hence on principle, when a member of the club has once paid his subscrip- lions, and his oarsmanship is required lon foreign service" he becomes the guest of his club so long as he is thus on duty.

4 aREAT HoG oUEsrIoN.

l New Haven is not the only town
 where great public questions demand
 discussion and get it. Of course there
 are few places where the public ques-
 tions are so many and so great as they
 are in New Haven, or where they de-
 mand and get so much discussion.
 But occasionally in other places there
 is something in the public question
 and public discussion line that holds
 candle to that which is frequent in
 New Haven. For instance it was re-
 gently proposed in Jeffersonville, Ken
 lucky, to deny the hog the freedom
 of the town. The reformers who ad- vocated this move were convinced that
 they had conclusive reasons for their action. But they didn't make proper al-
 lowance for human nature and ancient privilege. When the discussion was well started, and when it seemed cer- tain that reform would prevail, peti- ton was chucl1ed into the debate. This petition was sincere and inn pressive document, reading as follows: The Afro-American league do respect fully, yet earnestly and firmly, protest against this action, discovering, as we do, that such action would be very detrimental to a large nGrnber of our people who, as a. result of such meas do 4o q their only means of support. And, Whereas, considering the known fact of the value of loose hogs as scavengers, removers of decaying vegetable matter, and resultantly benefactory to health, etc. And Whereas, as a large number l of our people in this city who own hogs | would be compelled to ask aid at the | hands of the Kings Daughters were it | not for their industry in raising their | own meat for winter use. Therefore, We the Afro-American league, do | present this petition, believing, as we do in your sincere and earnest desire to legislate for the best interests of all, the poor as well as the rich.
 This petition prevailed, and reform in Kentucky, promptly caved in. No wonder it did. The re- formers misca1culated And this in cident contains instruction for other reformers. In places where most of the people keep hogs or where most of the people are hogs a movement for the restriction or abolition of hoggishness cannot reasonably be expected to be popular.

And for present reformation of immod- crate great sleeves and other superhui- ties which may easily be redressed with out much prejudice or spoil of garments, it is ordered, etc."
 There is nothing new under the sun and very little that is new over the daughter. Certainly the big sleeve idea is not new as is clearly shown by the law quoted above. This law was made two hundred and fifty years ago by the authorities of Dedham, Massachusetts. It indicates that the good old days were much like the good new days in some respects, and it shows that Fashion Is not progress. And the phrase flor any other sex" implies that men were then wearing big sleeves, or were in danger of wearing them. It would be interest ing to know what success Dedham had in regulating the size of sleeves for wo- men or any other sex. If it had any its methods could perhaps be prohtably studied by the lawmakers of to-day.

 back the next morning. During their
 trip back on the 26th snow storm came up and the Chinese became be- wildered and hopelessly lost in the rough, mountainous country. They each had different ideas as to which di- rection to take, and finally quarreled and separated. One of them had not gone far before he found a hollow tree. wherein he was somewhat sheltered from the storm. He had matches with him and built small fire, and, crouch ing over that, he lived for ten days. When their companions did not return to Browns Hill the Chinese became alarmed and went to La Porte, where they ascertained that they had been there and started back Then the white men about Cascade and Lump kin were notified and search parties went out.
 The other day John Kitrick, while searching with a companion for the lost. man, noticed smoke down in canon.
 He went down there, and in a tree found the poor Chinese nearly dead. Leaving him there, MT. Kitrick went for help, and the unfortunate man was taken to the settlement on sled.
 His experience during those ten days had been fearful. As the bangs of hun ger came upon him he took off his boots. parched them over the fire, and ate them and drank the medicine. When he found his boots were all gone and his feet frozen and he was so weak he could not stand, he had given up all hope. So grateful was he that when camp was reached he gave his rescuers fifty dollars in gold dust, all that he had He will recover.
