New Prize Ring Rules.


NEW ORLEANS, Mar. 16-Prof. John
Duffy, the referee of the Olympic Club,
has Just drafted new code of rules by
which the ring battles to be given by
that organization in the future will be
governed. The rounds will be of four
minutes duration, with two minutes in
Permission, instead of three minutes
rounds and one minute intermission
as formerly. The rules enable the con-
testant to remain down fifteen seconds
instead often. The pivot blow is bar
red. If the Corbett- FitZsimmons fight
is secured the new code will not apply,
as both men are anxious to fight under
the Marquis of Queensberry rules, but
thew will govern all other contests.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAR. 16. 1895

THAT Mr. CLEVELAND made an un-
fortunate mistake when he selected MS
Secretary OF State from the republican
party was foretold at the time. Inc
anticipations have been more than re-
allied, but, in no case, more patiently
than in the recent Alliance affair. Mr.
Gresham's demand upon Spain for an
immediate and unqualified apology Tor
and security against the repetition or a
perfectly justifable act, is surprising
even to those most familiar with bis
character. The attempt to stop and IN
spect a suspicious vessel in Spanish
waters by Spanish ship, is sustained
by all recognized international law and
will be denied by no foreign govern
ment; and. for this one to do so, after
its course in the famous Trent case, i;
not only silly, but positively ridiculous
One unqualified member of the Cabinet
has gone; another one should goas soor
as possible.

Chastised the Consul.

SAN FRANCISCO, March ia story
has just reached this city that Prospero
Morales, Minister of Public Works and
War of Guatemala, on Feb. IA invited
to his house Joseph F. Duran, the Eng
lish consul at Guatemala, and on his
refusal to retract a publication struck
him several times with a cowhide,
while three of his aides .de-camp stood
by with drawn pistols. 1t is said that
the cause of the outrage is that Duran,
on Feb. II, caused to be published in
local newspaper IL letter to the SUBJ
scribers of a new railroad, in which he
charged Minister Morales with injus.
tice and perversion of law.

MAY FIGHT A DUEL.-A duel be-
tween Oscar Wilde and the Marquis OF
Queensberry is imminent. Both the
eathete and the Marquis, whom Oscar
charges with gross libel, are at Monte
Carlo, that scene of many contests on
the field of honor. Mr. Wilde is ac-
companied by Lord Alfred Douglas, son
of the Marquis, who has taken sides
against his own father in the sensational
imbroglio, which has been the talk OF
London clubs for a fortnight. The
Marquis is out of jail under heavy
bonds for appearance later for trial.
There is no question that he has gone
to Monte Carlo to get satisfaction, il
possible, with pistol or rapier. The
trouble between the two men started,
so far as the public knows, in the
Marquis sending to London club a
postal addressed to Mr.. Wilde, calling
him every kind of vile thing. 1t was
casually read by several persons before
the club steward took charge of the
offensive card. The Marquis's wild
charges against the aesthetic had re-
ference in particular to unbecoming
conduct with Lord Douglas, his son,
over whom, he claims, Mr.. Wilde had
a bad influence. In hot indignation
Wilde had the Marquis arrested. AT a
hearing last Saturday in Court the
Marquis was held for future trial,
having promptly admitted the libel.
Both sons Of the nobleman of noted
name support Mr.. Wilde in the case,
and declare emphatically that their
father is insane.

MURDERED By ITALrANs-A tragedy oc.
cured at McGregor, Mimi, yesterday. A
family OF the name of jeanette, consisting of
father. mother and four children, the Oldest
twelve years and the youngest nursing
babe. lived in cabin and kept small store.
Two Italians who were clearing up home
stead nearby had trouble with Jeanette over
some saw logs, which resulted in a quarrel
Thursday night. The Italians, Nick and An
cello Cristello, brothers, returned yesterday
morning to renew the quarrel with Jeanette,
with Winchester rifles and shotguns. Nick
Gristeilo shot Jeanette with the shotgun, tear
ing gaping wound in his side, and Angelo
shot Mrs Jeanette with the Winchester, blow
ing the top of her head off. Both were killed
instantly. The children were in bed at the
time. The murderers escaped to the woods.
About noon the murderers went to 4lcGregor,
and said they were going to Atkin to give
themselves up, but the local officers held them
until the arrival OF the sheriff who at once
took them to Atkin to the county Jail. The
Jeanettes were a much respected family in
the neighborhood, and intense excitement
prevails. The principal reason for the muir
derers' return was that they were afraid of
being lynched by woodsmen.

THE Baltimore Sun says it will not
now "discuss the cause of the great
falling of in the democratic vote of
MARYLAND last fall" 1t would be en-
.ss::.>4g unnecessary for it to do so, as
that cause is known to all except
cuckoos and mugwumps, and it was
no more effective in Maryland than in
Virginia or in any other State of the
Union, North, South, East or West.
1t was the feeling prevalent among the
democrats, throughout the country,
that they had been deceived, and had
elected an executive that was so perpen-
dicularly bipartisan, that it leaned over
10 the republicans.

JUST WALKED IN AND WENT TO BED.
A young woman with blond tresses, a
comely face and apparently not more
than seventeen years old, who gave her
name as Gertrude Kershaw, of New
York, was found occupying bed 10
the United States Hotel, Paterson, n.
j., on Wednesday morning, and was
sent to Jail for thirty days on a charge
of disorderly conduct, pending investl-
CATION.
1t was near dawn when gentleman,
who had arrived on late western train,
applied at the hotel for a room. The
clerk gave him the key to room 5, on
the second floor. The room was found
to be locked. AS the room had not
been assigned to any other guest the
door was burst in, and young woman
was discovered lying in bed. She was
awakened by the noise, and appeared
as much astonished as the intruder5.
The proprietor allowed her to dress
and then questioned her. She said her
name was Gertrude Kershaw and that
she had been boarding in Ryle avenue
and was late getting home from bali.
The door of the boarding house was
locked, and while walking about the
city she had noticed light in hotel,
found the front door open and had
passed on up stairs, entering the first
room she found empty. She locked
the door and went to bed.
When arraigned before the recorder
she told contradictory stories as to
where her boarding house was, but said
she had been living in New York with
her aunts, but, growing tired of the big
city, had decided to secure work in 8
Patterson silk mill, where she heard
the girls made "big money" and had

A GAS SAvER.-An ingenious pro-
tective attachment for gas burners has
beeneontrived by San Francisco in
ventor, the design being to provide an
automatically operating safety cock by
which the flow of gas will be cut off in
case the main cock is accidentally
opened. This supplemental cock has
notches upon opposite sides, with a
pawl so arranged as toi engage one of
the notches in such manner that it
will retain the cock in an open posi-
ton, lever being also fulcrumed near
the upper end of the burner and hav-
ing its lower end provided with a pawl
for engaging the other notch. The up
per end extends across the burner tip
to form an expansible bar, extending
thence down upon the opposite side,
where it is affixed, the expansion of
the transverse bar moving the lever
about its fnlcrum, and causing it to en-
gage the notch in the cock as long as
the heat continues. If the gas should
be put out, then, as soon as the bar be-
comes cool, the action of the lever
would be to disengage the pawl, and
weighted arm connected with the cock
would Immediately act, on the olsen
gagement taking place, to close the
cock, thus automatically shutting of
the flow of gas, even though the main
cock be open.

PEOPLE who still have faith in the
perpetuity of free institutions in this
country make sport of the expressions
of the anarchists, bold enough to utter
them here, and say they are only
the breath of low beer saloons and
amount to nothing. But what do they
think now, when one of the leaders OF
the New York bar a cultured and rich
man, stands up in the highest court in
the land, and says that unless a law,
twice passed by Congress and once ex-
ecuted, be declared unconstitutional,
those subject to it will find way to re-
peal it, ''if need be, even over the ruins
of constitutions and of courts !" Does
such talk also amount to nothing? 1t GER

respect for constitutions and courts,

respect has long since been eliminated.
