KIRKLAND's REPRIMAND.
The President Approves Secretary
Herherf,s Acfinn

Washington, Sept. 29.-secretary Her
bert's reprimand of Admiral Kirkland,
commanding the European squadron, it is
understood, has been approved by Presi-
dent Cleveland and the incident is thereby
probably closed. Admiral Kirkland is an
old personal friend of the chief executive
Of France, and when NJ Faure was elect
ed to the presidency of that republic the
former wrote him a congratulatory letter
signed in his official capacity. When
knowledge of this fact transpired, excep-
ton was taken to it by the navy depart
ment and Secretary Herbert called for an
explanation. Admiral kirkland made no
elIoFl 70 conceal the authorship OF the let-
ter and reprimand was administered by
the secretary. From this the officer ap-
pealed to the President. 1t is said that
the President in his letter to the admiral
transmitted through the secretary went
or the secretary, informing Admiral Kirk
land that in his official capacity as coNi-
mander OF the European squadron he had
no rlght to write a communication to the
PRESIDENT of France congratulating him
upon his election.
President Cleveland and Secretary Her
pert both were of the opinion that'the ex-
tension OF congratulations to a successful
candidate might be taken as felicitation
over the defeat of his opponents, and the
pursued by our naval representative might
embroil us in complication with the
government of France
Rear Admiral Kirkland did not refuse
70 furnish the department with a copy of
ms letter to NJ. Faure, but so far it has
ry Herbert positively declined to discuss
the matter.

FIGHT WILL COME OFF.

Corbett and Fftzsimmons Will Meet In
the Ring at Dallas.
DALLAS. Texas, July S.-Judge
George Clark, of Waco, has submitted
an opinion as to the legality of the pro-
posed orbett-Fitzsimmons glove con-
test. The opinion is very exhaustive
and lengthy. His conclusions are:
First-That the original act of 1891
was wholly imperative.
Second-That when it's provisions
were re-enacted in the penal code of
1895 it was still imperative for want of
some court to try the offense
Third-That the law was repealed BY
the revised statutes, which go into eff
feet on September 1, 1895.
FOurth-That there is now no law
upon the statute book of Texas pro-
hibiting pugilistic encounters, and
that upon a payment or tender of the
license fee prescribed for such exhibi-
ton, there is no lawful power in the
state, under present laws, to interfere
with the exhibition. Judge Clark gave
the matter at issue careful study and
patient research, and his opinion is
most sweeping.
