A CHANCE BLOW DID 1T.
Mccarthy Knocked Out in Less Than a
Minute.

Minute.
Galveston, April 3O.-By a chance
blow Dan Creedon knocked out Billy
Mccarthy in the fremont opera house
tonight, in less than a minute. John
Duffy was the referee. Mccarthy was
a little slow in putting up his hands.
Creedon took advantage of it and land
ed on the side of his chin with his left,
which dazed Mccarthy. He followed
it up with his right, knocking McCar-
thy against the ropes and nearly upset
ting the post to which the gong was
fastened. Mccarthy still stood his
ground, but was too dazed to defend
himself. He stood up again and was
promptly knocked against the ropes.
Again he came up dazed and tap on
the chin put him out Referee Duffy
put his arms around Mccarthy and he
fell and counted him out. Mccarthy
recovered Immediately and walked to
his dressing-room. Nearly 1900 peo-
pie witnessed the fight. The crowd
was much dissatisfied with the out
come, having expected long fight, for
both men were in excellent condition,
evenly matched and had the middle
weight championship honor to settle
between them, since Fitzsimmons has
gone into the heavy weight class. Pro-
lessor Duffy said that he very much
regretted the outcome, adding:
81 expected it to last twenty rounds
at least, but it was chance blow which
first dazed Mccarthy, and Creedon
followed it up until he finished him. "

Policy of the United States.

Washington, May 1.-The attitude
of the United States in the Eastern
war trouble has been clear to the vari-
GUS powers interested. In brief, it is
that the unvarying policy of this coun-
try is not to form alliances which may
involve it in complications with the
countries of Europe and Asia. 1t is
reassertion of the policy of isolation,
except in so far as the United States
may be able to exercise kindly ad-
visory influence toward the adjustment
of the trouble involving the Eastern
nations. The foregoing is now accepted
by diplomats here as the policy which
will guide the United States in the
pending European complications over
the Japan-China settlement. At one
time, within recent days, there was a
prospect that the United States might
cooperate with Great Britain and Italy
in endeavoring to effect solution of
the Japan China trouble and the bellig-
erent protest of Russia, France and
Germany. Such action if it had been
taken, would not have been in the ma
ture of assistance to Japan, but merely
an exertion of joint influence to per-
suade China to ratify the peace agree
ment. 1t is said by diplomats that as
Japan has already ratified the agree
ment, similar action by China would
make it effective. While, therefore,
Russia, France and Germany were pro-
testing at Toxic the desires of the pow-
ers was to bring to bear their influence
at Picking.
1t is known positively that Italy's
policy is that of neutral, but that it
favors the execution of the Japan Chi
ma agreement as already made, and to
this extent its sympathies are with ia
pan. This will not, however, 20 to
the extent of opposing the Russo
France German alliance. 1t is under.
stood that Great Britain's course is
along the same lines.
So far as the United States is con.
cerned, there will be no cooperation.
as already stated, except in such kindly
way as may seem for the interest of all
concerned, but always short of an al.
lance.

HARRIS FEELS AGGRIEvED.
Thinks Judge Bellinger Has Put Him
in q Bad Light.

~
San Francisco, May Agent Har-
ris feels that Judge Bellinger, of Port
land, has put him in bad light by re-
fusing to sentence doc" Davenport,
the notorious counterfeiter who told
the court he was tricked into making
the money by the representations Of
Charles French, employed by Harris.
In passing ON the case the Portland
judge said:
Detectives of the government have
no right to aid in the commission Of a
crime and to come into court and ask
that the criminal be punished.
Speaking of the matter today, Mr..
Harris said:
'The whole thing is wrong. I hired
one Charles French to help secure coun-
terfeit money from the notorious Dav-
export, but he took no part in inducing
Davenport to commit the crimes. DAY.
export has served term for making
bad coins and he is notorious counter
feiter. There are scores of young men
whose downfall is due to him"

A Park at Missionary Ridge.

Chattanooga, May 1.-The govern
ment has purchased twenty acres of
land on Missionary Ridge, which is a
part of Sherman's earthworks. Monu-
ments and markers will be erected on

be converted into park and will be an
important adjunct to the Chickamauga

To Fight Before the Kinetescope.

Pittsburg, May bob Ftzsimmons
and Peter Maher have a contract with
the Edison Kinetescope Company to
fight six rounds before the camera for a
gift of So, 200. The rounds will be one
minute each, with three minutes rest,
the idea being to have lively battle.
If either man is knocked out before the
end of the sixth round the winner will
take the money. If both stay to fin
ish the one receiving the decision will
get So, 900 and the other $1,000.

WILDE WAS NOT CONVICTED.
Jury Announced Disagreement After
Being Out Only a Little While.


Being Out Only Little While.
London, May 3.-In Old Bailey
court Justice Charles summoned up the
case against Oscar Wilde and Alfred
Taylor. The justice in so doing said
counsel for the prosecution acted wisely
in withdrawing the charge of conspir-
acy brought against Wilde, as he
would have ordered the jury to bring
in verdict of not guilty on that speci-
fication. He admitted there was COR
roboration of witnesses, but the jury,
he added, would have to weigh the
characters of men like Parker, Wood
and Atkins, whom Sir Edward Clarke,
in the Justices opinion, properly de-
scribed as blaclSmailers. The justice
also urged the jury not to be influenced
by Wilde's writings, saying many great
men had written indecently. The jury
must exercise its own Judgment as to
whether Wilde's letters to Lord Alfred
Douglass breathed of unnatural passion
and he also said the relations between
Shelley and Wilde would be an inter-
esting matter for the jury's judgment
The jury retired at 1880 P. NJ.
After being out short time the jury
reported that it could not agree. When
the news of the disagreement reached
outside of the court there was great ex-
element, and extra editions of the
evening papers were bought up quickly.
When Sir Edward Clarke. counsel
for Wilde asked for bail, Justice
Charles said the application must be
made in chambers. Wilde will be tried
again at the next session of the central
criminal court. Throughout the pro-
ceedings today he was very pale. AS
Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for the
prisoner, left the court he was heard to
remark: Truth is mighty, and will
prevail"
There was big crowd outside Old
Bailey during the last stages of the IA
nous trial today, but there was nc
demonstration for or against the pris.
oner upon the part of the populace. In
spite of this Wilde was kept in the
prisoners room of the court for an hour
after adjournment, or until the crowd
had disappeared, before he was taken
to Holloway Jail.

Howgate's Bail Reduced.

Washington, April 30.-A motion
made in criminal court No. 1 for re-
duction in the amount of bail in the
case OF Captain Henry w. Howgate
the ex-army officer accused of embes'
cling money from the government, wa
granted by Judge Cox today. He re-
duced the bail from $50, 900 to $lO.,,'
900. 1t is probable that Howgate WI

it somewhat unpleasant around here
and have evidently sought more con.

MOSTLY mulattoes. 1t is said they are

DESTROYS of returning to their homes,
but fear imprisonment.
Last night official kilograms were

regulars and insurgents had exchanged
a few shots, which resulted in the kill.
ing of Alor Crombet and another insur-
gent and the capture of seven rebels
and all their arms. The dispatches
further state that Maceo, with his few
followers is said to be so surrounded
that he will be either killed or starved
to death.
1t is rumored Maceo is very much
dissatisfied with the conditions of at.
fairs on the island and says he has been
deceived in coming to Cuba. He ex.
pected to find the entire island up in
arms, but upon his arrival he finds
things entirely different. The two
English sailors captured from off the
steamer Honora, which landed Maceo,
were sent to Santiago some days ago on
the man of-war Condo de Venadito.
The very latest news today states
that all Maceo's forces, except two,
have been captured.

ION THE WAY TO KOBE
Two Triple Alliance Ministers
Have Left Toxic.
WILL PROBABLY INTERVIEW ITO
The Diplomatic Note Sent by huss'~ ~
Japan Said to Have Been In
Determined Form.

London, May lit is learned Oh
good authority that Japan will reply 10
the Russian, German and French pro-
tests within few days.
The Times will publish a dispatch
from Kobe saying the Russian ana
German ministers left Toxic for kope
yesterday. 1t is supposed they Intend
to seek an interview with Count lto,
the president of the japanese council
of ministers, and with Viscount Matsu,
Japanese minister of foreign AFFAIRS
The French minister is expected to 1ol-
low them. The mikado has arrived at
Yakioto from Hiroshima. The cores
pondent in conclusion, says:
81 learn officially that TUESDAY 5
grand celebration of the 1100th ami
versary of the founding of Yakoto has
been postponed, ostensibly ON account
of the illness of the mikado. Evidently
the situation is grave.
The Daily Graphic has this dispatch
from Yokohama:
1.-THE Japanese think that when
China shall have ratified the treaty OF
peace there will not be any ground Tor
Intervention on the part OF European
powers. The opinion is still held gem
orally that such Intervention would
cause a dangerous ferment in the coun-
try, and would imperil the government.
The Japanese are not in frame OF
mind to regard with equanimity the
action of the powers attempting to de-
prive them of the fruits Of their VIC
tory"
Vienna, May 1. - The Politsche
Correspondent, the newspaper organ
of all European governments, is in
formed from St. Petersburg:
"The diplomatic note in which the
Russian claims were laid before Japan
was couched in very determined
form. Prince Lobanoff, in his last in
terview with the japanese minister at
st. Petersburg, pointed out that Russia
could not take into consideration the
fear of the japanese government that
there would be revolution in Japan
if the mikado acceded to Russia's de-
mands for the revision of the treaty.
Japan's reply is expected hourly.
Whatever its nature, it is regarded as
assured that the understanding between
Russia, Germany and France will be
maintained till the desired end shall be
achieved"
The Wiener Tageblatt says editori'
ally:
SIT is not an honest policy and still
less wise one that is being pursued
by the allied powers toward Japan
The allies have no idea of fighting
but hope to profit by threats. -
