ROME, Oct. a.-The letter of his holi-

la, the papal secretary of state, on the
recent fetes in celebration of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the entry of the
Italian troops into Rome, was published
this evening. 1t is as follows:

DENVER, Oct. OF. NJ. Davis, a Hon,
olulu merchant, arrived in Denver today.
enroute to Atlanta, Ga. He said: at
would of course be useless to deny that
fact:onal differences exist in Hawaii and
Specially in Honolulu, and the republic,
as it stands. has a good many support
erS; but | am of the belief that If a vote
ON the question OF annexation to the
United States were taken today there
would be an Overwhelming expression in
favor of 1t.
LAS TO the royalsts," added Mr.. Davis,
we hear very little of them now. Occa-
S.onally we read in the American papers
of some uprising and some deep laid plot
to restore the queen, and we are forced to
laugh over them. The Americans should
use several grains of salt with anything
they may read about Hawaiian revolu-
lions these days. 1t is d common saying
in Honolulu, whenever these stories go
out. that San Francisco IS again in the
thrCes of South Sea rebellion. For the
majority of these stories are simply
gl.ttering testimonials to the imag1nd-
ton of the San Francisco newspaper men.
1.-The queen is not kept IN close confine-
ment. and is allowed to drive about
pretty much as she TNeases. She has her
own court. but as for causing trouble,
[ do not think she is lacking in common
sense, and. unless she is, restoration
would be the last thing she would at
tempt. Interest IN her has died out, even
among the natives.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA. WOOu-
w1oruh, one of the promoters of the
Butte, Boise & Sam Francisco railroad
has been interviewed again in Denver,
and the interview has been the subject
of much comment among railroad men
and finRnciers. Though many people
in San francisco are confident OF une
IIlppnlan- W cod worth s,ch5inle there are
many others who are as firmly con-
WINGED that it is wholly impractiCable.
They also believe that Mr.. WOodWorth
was correctly reported in his last Dem
Yer interview, he has been making
some rather reckless statements.
He is reported as saying that Mayor
Sutro is one of the prominent men ait
the head of the enterprise. The mayor
had a. great many inquiries yesterday
as 10 the TRUTH of the statement and he
answered that he did not know Mr..
WoodWorth, Mr.. LiIpr1ann or amy
other incorpor'attoe1s of the road and he
never heard of the company until he
read of it in the papers.
The statement of Mr.. Woodwork
that the San Francisco chsmbee OF
commerce had guaranteed his schema
s., 000 900 provoked much comnenit.
The chamber of commerce has not
guaranteed the project any sum, and
newer heard OF ut officially. The men,
bers of that organization say they
never heard of Woodwcrt1 or his road
until within the past.fe days, when
! notice of incorporation of the company
was published. They all say. how

teresting subject of discussion in po-
litical circles yesterday. In the first
place, Indianapolis is the home of Ben
Jamin Harrison, Republican preslden-
tial possibility. In the second place
Indianapolis is the center of the manu-
featuring region of the state OF In
diana. In the third place, Indiana is
regarded as the political barometer OF
the United States. Politics are fought
there with the warmest feeling OF any
state. The people are thoroughly con-
Versant with political affairs.
1t will be remembered that last year
for the first time in the history OF IN
diana full Republican congressional
delegation was returned and the state
went overwhelmingly Republican. This
was so because last year was Re
publican year. The hard times were
blamed to the Democratic party. But
this year the people are waking up.
Now look out for Democratic land
slides. The people are about to reverse
their hasty verdict of last year.
Indiana Democrats will all rejoice
in the election of genial Tom Taggart
for mayor. They will rejoice the more
because he was state chairman last
fall and led a gallant uphill fight for
his party, going down. to defeat man
fully nd determined to come up again
smiling. He is a hotel man, like our
own Fisher Harris. Moreover, he is q
free silver man. Last winter in
Washington he assured the writer
that Indiana people would send Dem.
ocratic silver delegation to the next
national convention.
This is indeed a Democratic year.

DALLAS. Texas. Oct. 9.-The Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight goes to Hot
Springs, Ark a decision was made
at ; o'clock this afternoon and the
Florida Athletic club will move it's
belongings to Hot Springs at once. No
change in the original date of holding
the fight was made
Conditions having changed so quick
ly and positively, the date and place
of the mill being named less than
twenty-four hours after the confer
ence, though the club had forty-eight
hours from Tuesday night to decide
in, there were lots of things to be
done, including the arrangements for
getting to work on a building and
the preparation for the transporta-
ton. However, a great many matters
were arranged in the conference Tues
day night. The events of today
brought these out. The question came
up at the conference whether or not
Julian and Brady would agree to fight
outside of Texas. There was no diff
Guilty on this score. That being set
tied the question arose, would they
consent to moving the date up to
Their men, they said, were already
on fighting edge, so to speak Julian
insisted particularly on this. 1t seems
therefore a concession was made in
this regard by the club. Brady sprang
a telegram from Phillip J. Dwyer of
New York. the official stakeholder,
that the FitzsimmOn5 stake money
had been attached, the amount in
volved being 500. Brady and Julian
had a warm discussion over this, end
ing in Julian promising to make good
the amount in ten days from Tues
day. or on October Is. Julian blamed

To keep himself before the public in
connection with the Australians af-
fairs. A claim was put in by Julian
for the forfeit of s., 500 if the mill did
not take place on the 31st. This was
silenced by the proving of the fact
that the club had the right to pull the
mill off any time after July i. 1895.
The big event of the conference was
the question as to whether or not a
referee should be selected at once
The club demanded it as their right
that the referee be named without de-
lay. Brady demanded the same. JUL
ian stood pat on his old proposition
that the referee should be named on
the day of the fight. There was a hot
discussion between Julian, Brady and
Vendig, the latter declaring for the
club that unless a referee was named
at once he would declare the fight off.
Julian said it would have TO go at
that then. Julian held out that the
, safest way to prevent a referee from
being tempered with was to keep his
name secret until the day of the fight
Brady said Corbett would never again
sign articles of agreement unless the
referee was named in the same. Mat
tiers looked squally for a time After
several propositions were made, Jul
ian finally consented TO consider the
proposition that he and Brady should
each select a name from six, the name
to be kept secret until the day of the
fight, and then. if the names were
not the same, the decision between
the two should be decided by a toss

Bayard as Bad as sacI1vilIe, if Not

have caused amazement in diplomatic
circes.
Truth, commenting on the statements
made. says:
Whether it was courteous or ludlclou ui5
for Lord Sackville to publish this. attack
when Mr.. Bayar1 is ambassador IN Lon
don is a dcDatable question, to when IL
may, however, reasonably be rephed mat
MIR, Bayard was UNNECESSARILY more dlS-
courteous and injudicious in his behavior
toward Sackville West, when the latter
was in Washington. Mr.. Bayard there
fore would be mean to complain OIL TINS
point But the matter acquires eXcep-
tional interest when it IS conS11ered sue
by side with a recent dispute REGARDING
the race for the Americas cup. II should
be remembered that Sac<vllle West was
the victim of an election trick. An IN
discreet expression Of opinion upon his
part was exaggerated for the purpose OF
exciting anti-English agitation. Inc TRICK
was successful and Sackville west vas
handed his papers. England, i'll the per-
son of her envoy, was grossly ana wan
tonly insulted. Mr.. Cleveland, however,
failed to secure the election.
I'm our relations with America. expert
ence teaches us always to be on the
alert. This has made the English per-
hape over-suspicious, and. being SO, they
possibly imagine trickery where 1t Goes
not exist. For these reasons it is adj
visable that international contests be dis
continued until this Impression is re-
moved or the Americans realize that they
are sufficiently strong to depend upon
themselves without the support OF sharp
practices. The two nations are very
nearly allied and everything should be
done on both sides of the Atlantic to
unite them more closely. Both nations
