OF A CORRESPOND
ENT.

Legislation Is naturally Influenced
by public opinion. Newspapers reflect
and in a smaller degree, mould it.
The Washington correspondent gives
the public his views, or those of the
paper he represents, and often voices
the sentiments of his own party
leaders. There Is little non-partisan-
ship In journalism. The correspondent
not unnaturHlly. often unwittinglv. and
sometimes pGrposely, colors situations.
His writings mirror his own ideas or
perjudices. His attitude on public
question Is often peculiar 20 himself.
1t is generally dictated by the policy
Of the paper he represents. That de-
ponds on his personality and the de-
gree Of confidence imposed by his edi-
tor on his judgment Usually the cor.
respondent influences his paper and Is
affected by it. If he has served it for
II length of time his ideas and those
of the paper become the same. He
generally writes what he believes. He
is ordinarily man of strong convic-
tions often peSsimistic and cynical by
reason of his experiences with the
more selfish side of life. The average
of honesty and integrity among cor
respondents Is high. 1t equals that of
any profession. They do not lobby,
though there may have been isolated
cases OF It, Necessarily they often UNI
knowingly misrcprasem because of a
lack Of details, or incorrect Informal
don, sometimes given them by inter
eStcd parties, for some cOngI eSSmpn
and senators are not above using de-
ccit for their own ends. Instances
could be cited where they have mis-
directed newspaper men, seeking to
create n favorable or hostile public
impression of pending legislation.
There Is great temptation to paint a
story and make 1t picturesque. to-
romance n little that the dispatch may
be the more interesting. 1t is the hard
est tendency to resist, but 1t is no
unusual than the habit in ordinary
life. As II rule the correspondent seeks
to do right, to be fair. His work is
haSty and under stress. He must
judge on slight evidence, hear Il thing,
get new details, and often assume the
rest. A suggestion sets II train Of
thought working, conclusion Is
reached on & premise that may have
seemed insignificant. Study of char
acter, of legislation, of past events,
of their sequence, of history, exper-
fence guides him in his Judgment. He
Is oftencr correct than inaccurate
When he ems he, rs rule, Is quick
to correct it. Though Il newspaper
correspondent, Willingly or unwit-
tingly, misrepresents n public man or
question, colors story, or is unjust,
the truth becomes known sooner or
later He may elevate n man tenn
porarily or. lowe him. II Il man be
given the wrong place in public esti-
nation, the error rights itself after Il
while. The weakness and incom
potency of Il man or his dishonesty
soon becomes known If he he exalted
too much. His honesty and ability
are assigned their proper niche In pub
lie estimation IL he Is improperly
placed. The newspaper correspondent
serves to make Il public mans abilities
apparent or his shallowneSS KNOWN

OHLYLlSTED FIVE ROUNDS
Took DAILY Just That Long to
Whip Billy DO0Iey.
FRISCO BOY OUTCLASSED
Had a Big Advantage in Reach but
Lacked Science-Bank and Brown
Fight Ten Hard Rounds-W ilson
Easily whipped Charlie Winston.
Sailor" Brown Did Not Show Up.

Jack Daily, OF Wilmington, clearly demon
strated his ability at the Eureka Club last
night, as a hard hitter, and a cool, level
headed fighter by knocking Billy Dooley,
Of San Francisco, out after four rounds and
two minutes of fast fighting.
The card offered by the club was good
one, but was some what married by the nom
appearance of two of the men who Were
billed in the preliminary bouts. They were
Cyclone" Warner, who was down to meet
Al. Johnson, and Sailor Jim Brown, who
was to go on for four rounds with Pat Raedy.
The latter was clearly afraid to meet
Raedy He sent an excuse which sounded
flimsy and the general opiuion was that
he weakened at the last minute. Raedy
was very much disappointed and made
short speech to this effect. He had trained
hard for the go and was anxious to prove
that he is better man than was show in
his fight with Mcmillan.
Tody Bank and Alec Brown were the first
ones to go on and they put up ten-round
contest that was rcd hot from start to
finish These boys always meet with the
blood from thebeginning of the first round
to the call of time in the wiHd-up. Raedy
refereed this fight and decided it draw.
WINSTON WAS OUTCLASsED.
An extra bout was then put on between
Howard Wilson and a Ianky darky, named
Charley Wi nston Wilson clearly out
| classed his opponent and did not let himself
Tn 10
| round he started in to finish him off and
very soon had him out
1t was after 10 o'clock when the main
| contest was put on. Billy Mcmillan was
chosen referee and Eddie Heath held the
watch.
| Daily was the first one TO enter the ring.
| He was accompanied by his trainer, Prof-
| Ned Donneily, Bobby Frankford and John
| Dillon, the latter two of Wilmington, Del.
| He was in the ring for some minutes before
! DooIey made his appearance. The latter
was looked after by Jimmy Connors, George
Mccoy, ana his trainer, Teddy Alexander.
The man from San Francisco had a great
advantage over Daily in both height and
reach. He was head and shoulders taller
and could hold the Wilmington man at
arms reach with one hand and jab at him
| with the other.
| Daily has peculiar mode Of fighting.
He is somew hat slow in going up to his man,
| and a stranger would pick him out for a
loser the momenb he saw him put up his
| fists He is very careful, however, and
while he appears to take big chances, never
loses his head for an instant Ind if his op-
| ponent leads is back at him at once.

SLY MOVE OF ROYAbISTS
VIII Ask Cleveland to Annex the
Sandwich Islands.
Princess Kaiulani's Father En- Route
TO England TO Say They Desire
to Be Joined 10 England.

London, Aug 29.-coi. McFarlane, for
mer aide e-de camp to the late King Kalakaua,
has Just arrived in London.
In an interview he said that he was in
formed that a few Hawaiian politicians
and merchants who favored the old form
of government would wait upon President
Cleveland when Congress reassembles to
Isl ands. The primary object, he said,
would be to test the sincerity Of the officials
of the Hawaiian republic.
A large number of Americans, he said,
had joined the Republican party in Hawaii,
itbeing ggenerailyunberstood hattheeaisring
republic in the Sandwich Islands provided
only for a temporary government until an
nexation to the United States could be ar
ranged The present officials hayi ng
been in office year or more, no special
effort having been made to attain this end,
the Americans in Honolulu are dubious
respecting the intentions OF the present
Hawaiian republic, hence the projected
application to the United States govern
Inent for annexation.
WANTS A COMMISSION.
Congressman Samuel G. Hiiborn, OF Cali
fornia, recently visited Honolulu and Col.
McFarlane says that he wiiIurge, in Congress-,
| the necessity of sending a commission for
| the purpose of studying the situation there.
| In conclusion, Col. McFarlane explains that
| Mr. Cleghorn, the father of Princess Kaiu-
| lani, is now en- route for England, accom-
panied by ex.Consul Wodehouse.
1t is believed that one Of the objects of
| their visit is TO present to the British
government a full and detailed account of
the situation inthe Haw allan Isla nds and the
| causes that led to the overthrow OF the
| monarchy there. The natives, he thought,
were not wholly opposed to the policy
| of annexation to the United States.
Still, failing to bring about tho restora-
| tion of themonarchy to whicht they naturally
| incline, they w ould really prefer annexation
| to Great Britain. or course, the American
| commercial influence is in the ascendant
| but the British influence is also large.
FAvORs ENGLAND.
| Col MacFarlane favored a permanent
/ republic or else permanent restoration OF
| the monarchy, the best elements OF both
| parties forming a coalition for the support
of the government. Failing in such coali
| tion, annexation to the United States
| would be the most advantageous CONNER
| cially, but there is no doubt that If a test
vote were taken, the natives, who constt
tute q majority, would vote largely In
4 favor Of closer political relations with
| England.
The political upheaFals which have oc
4 Cured there have never seriously af'
4 fected the prosperity OF Hawaii Sugar
| cotton, and other industries have not
1 suffered greatly.

first round Donley was the first one 70
lead. He did nearly all of the fighting
during this round and landed Ieft-hand
jab on DaIey's nose that drew the claret.
He had such anadyantagein in reach that DAILY
cuold hardly get at him at all.
DOoLEY THE FAYORITE.
There was very little fighting in the sec
ond round. Daily did not go at his man
and all OF the work was at long range.
Daily had on new shoes and slipped to his
knees once or twice.
The third round was SOmewhattn DOoley's
favor and offers of one hundred to seventy
five were made against the Wilmington
man. DooIey's reach served him TO such
advantage that he looked to have the battle
as good as won.
In the fourth round Daily started to mix
things UP a little, and then the fun began
IN this round Dooley got in the only good
blow that lie landed 1t caught DAILY full
on the jaw and sent him staggering back
against the ropes. He recovered himself
quickly, however, and made thing
interesting !or the Frisco boy during the
latter part OF the round.
DAILY started the ball rolling in the fifth
round with some fast mitigating that told
on Dooley at once. He then brokeaway and
caught Dooley one on the jaw that floOred
him, and was the beginning Of the end.
The Frisco boy got to his feet slowly and
when DAILY fought him back against the'
ropes he took hold of them to support him
self They got out in the middle Of the
ring, and although Dooley made several
feeble attempts to land on DAILY he was
clearly all but out. DAILY waited, however,
and when he saw his chance went in and
caught him a left hand punch in the face
and quickly followed it up with q swing
on the jaw that did the work, and Alex
ander's protege went down and out.

RUN DOWN BY A CYCLIsT.

Little Roland Abbott Sustained Very
Serious Injuries.
Roland Abbott, the seycn-year-old son
of Russell G. Abbott, residing at No. 1922
X street northwest, was seriously injured
about O'Clock last night by being struck
by the bicycle of William Hunter George
town negro, near the corner of Seventeenth
and X streets. Hunter was locked up in
the Third precinct station.
Roland with another boy was crossing the
street when suddenly the bicycle with the
stalwart negro and no light loomed up iu
front of them and voice gave the COM
mand:
Cit out oh de way"
The next instant the bicycle struck the
little boy, knocking him, head first, against
the curbstone, and throwing the reckless
cyclict from the wheel.
The colored cyclist was taken to No. 8
station and the charge of assault and riding
a bicycle without a light entered against
him. The boy was sent home.
Hunter will be held without collateral
until the condition of Roland Abbott can
be more accurately ascertained.

than NcChesney.
The Jersey man had the best Of it in
the first round, putting the local man dowL
in three and a half minutes. He did not
have the staying powers, however, and the
next two bouts went 70 McChesney, who
threw his opponent in two and a half and
three minutes.
