you can neither hear too much nor say
too much in its favor; and if you are
just learning to ride a wheel, or are

are desirious of knowing all you can of

who have become experts. Everybody

She Had Anchored Nearer the Pole Than
Any other Ship.
Her British Majesty's steamer Alert, one
of the most famous Of the vessels that were
engaged in Arctic exploring, has sailed her
last voyage. Bought at auction for less than
$4,000 from the Canadian Government few
weeks ago by shlpbullder OF New Bruns-
wick. the Alert was oeached on the Beau
port Shoals. in Quebec Hsrbor, by her pur-
chaser. and, after being dismantled, was
fred for the sake of her old metal. She
was presented by the British authorities TO
Canada some ten years ago, TO bs used In
exploring the Hudson Straits.
The Alert had the record OF having anch.
ored in latitude eignty-two degrees twenty
seven minutes, nearer to the pole than any
other ship. At that time she formed part OF
the Mares polar expeditiul Of 1875 and 1876,
a1d was commanded by Captain (now Ad-
miraD Markham. Her sister ship was the
Discovery. For over four months the men,
bers OF this expedition never saw the sun.

CHINA YIELDED QUICKLY.

She Submitted to the Demands of the
British UItimatum.
The British Government has received in
formation that China has yielded to the
pressure Of the British ultimatum by desrad.
Ing the Viceroy OF szechuen and according
| In full the other demands Of Great Britain.
A dispatch from Pskin was received at the
| Foreign Office, London, confirming The
statement that China had acted favorably
on the demands OF the Marquis Of Salisbury
| for the punishment of the Yiceroy OF
| Minister at Pekin, reported was responsible
| for the outrages beginning in May 1t the
| mission stations in Chengtu, the capital OF
| Szechuen.
Tho despatch saws that the Chinese Official
| Gazette has published An imperial edict an.
nouncing that the Viceroy OF Szechuen has
been stripped OF his rank for failing to pro-
| tect the missionaries and will never again be
| allowed 10 hold office. so that his case will
serve as warning. for Nil future time, to
| officials who may be disposed to do wrong.
| The decree also denounces the subordinate
| officials OF the province who failed to take
proper action for the protection of the mis-
sionaries.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the Tsung-li-
Yamen (the Board Of Foreign Affairs for
maly communicated its decision to the Brit
ish Minister, who expressed himself as satis-
fed with the terms Of the edict.
The Slate Department at Washington was
advised by Minister DENLY that Viceroy Liu
had been degraded by an imperial decree.
The abstract of the decree cabed by Mr..
DENLY shows that the responsibility for the
Chengtu riots in the province OF Szechuen
rests with the officials; that Vice
roy Liu was exceedingly careless and
took no notice of the riots ami made no at
tempt TO stop the outrages. He will BIZ de-
prived OF bis office, and will never again be
employed. other officials are also to be-
punished. Che American Commission will
proceed Notwithstanding this action, to
conduct the investigation Of these riots.
Liu, the degraded Viceroy, appears to
have been On official whose constant aim WAS
to stir up strife with the missionaries and
seek the good will Of the natives, whose deep
rooted antl-foreign sentiments caused these
periodical outbreaks in the province oTer
which he ruled. He has been connected
with previous outrages. and was compelled
to pay the French an indemnity amounting
to $500, 900 from his private purse for crimes
committed against French Catholics In
November last.

Session at Austin.

affecting the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize
fight.
Governor Culberson, in his message, con-
fined himself solely to the prize fight ques-
ton. He said that this question was being
wrangled over IN the courts. and he deemed
1t advisable to stop further discussion by
having the Legislature enact law that
wonld be clear and specific on this subject,
and he desired 1t to 20 into immediate ef-
feet. His Message concluded as follows: "By
proclamation all persons have been given
notice that this exhibition would not be
permitted, and whatever has been done
BY its projectors was with full RESPONSE
bility for the consequences. The public
interests require that this exhibition, es-
pecially, should be suppressed. Dlscoun-
tenanced by Mexico and the Territories,
outlawed and driven from every State, 1t
IL proposed to assemble horde Of ruf-
fans and gamblers, and offer here this
commanding insult to public decency.
Against it the instincts and the pride OF
the people revolt, and your prompt and
resolute action will spare them the tgnomfny
and the shame. Impelled by a sense OF duty
to exert every executive power to divert
this calamity, you have been called In special
session and the responsibility for the conse-
quences is now. divided with you. That you
will meet 1t as becomes the representatives
of the whole people, anxious and ready to
protect the fair name Of the State, Is not
doubted"
A bill was then introduced, one in each
house. The House bill declared that prize
fighting or any pugilstic encounter shall be
deemed felony and shall be punished by
an imprisonment Of not less than one
nor more than two years. This
bill had the emergency clause.
The other bill, introduced In the Senate by
Senator Simpson. provided penalty Of not
less than five nor more than ten years. and
further provided that any one who 10 any
manner aids or abets fight will be consid-
cred participant and subject to the above
uamed punishment. The emergency clause
