OUR FLAG FIRED UPON.
An American Mail steamer Chased by
spanish aIan-of-

aspanish Alan-of-War.
Tho American mail steamship ALI
anoia, while proceeding from Colon TO
New York on the morning Of the Sth
instant, sighted a barkontino rugged
steamer under the land of Cape May
sic, the eastern edge Of Cuba, which
headed directly toward her.
At 7 o'clock, when about two and a
half miles distant, the stranger hoist
ed the Spanish flag, which was saluted
by hosting the American ensign and
dipping il, which act Of courtesy was
answered by the Spaniard. AT 7;l5
she fred blank cartridge to leeward,
which was soon followed by another.
The American ensign was again hoist
ed and dipped, but the course and
speed Of the ship was not changed, as
no hostile demonstration was antici-
pated, as the Alliancia was more than
six miles of the land at the time.
The Spanish man of war was not sat
isiied with even the double salute to
her flag, but proceeded to chase the
American at her full speed, judging
from the smoke that came from her
tunnels, and seeing that the Alliancia
was drawing away from her, she hove
to, to bring the guns to bear and fred
a solid shot which struck the water
less than an eighth of a mile away
from the ship and directly in line.
This was followed by two more solid
shots which fortunately did not reach
their mark, though they struck the
water in plain sight of the ship, the
Spaniard plainly showing the intention
to hit her if she could.
Captain Cross, of the Alliancia,
knowing he was more than two leagues
from land and on the high seas, did
not consider it his duty to detain his
ship to find out the reason for such an
outrage, even for so summary a de-
mand and so ordered full steam and
gradually drew out of range.
The chase was kept up for more
than twenty-five miles before it was
abandoned. If the Spaniard had had
more speed or her gunners been better
marksmen, no doubt the incident
would not have ended SO fortunately
for the American.
This outrage has been reported to
the secretary of state by Captain
Crossman and no doubt a prompt de-
mand will be made on the Spanish
government for an explanation of the
insult, and a reason required for the
attempt made to stop an American
mail steamer on the high seas in time
of peace.
Captain Crossman has written a let
ter to the secretary of state at Wash
ington, giving a full statement Of the
Spanish warship's conduct.

DR.. Chauncey M. Depew in a recent
interview in predicting 1888 pro-
gress in railroading, very pertinently
stated: "Take, for instance, the New
York Central Railroad. Our trains
might almost be termed flashes of
lightning, but their rate is not a cir
cumstance to the speed we are now
aiming at. Then there is the matter
of safety. I need not assure you that
the safety of passengers is the most
important thing a railroad man has to
with. This coming year we expect to
attain what some people may consider
a chimera-namely, perfect freedom
from risk in the transportation of hui
man beings by rail. We have, we be-
lieve, solved the problem, and that, I
should say, will make 1895 an I'M
equaled year in railroading. In the
far as in the near future, romantic
things are done, or are being pro-
iected. A tunnel to the summit Of
the Jungfrau is one Of the things pos
sible. The Trans-Siberian Railway
and the South African line to Mashon-
aland are two projects on the edge Of
the future-the former already under
way-and the poetry Of railroading
will be experienced in the new rush Of
railroad building certain to ensue in
japan when the Chinese war indemnity
is paid-which viii certainly happen
IN 1895.

A NEW ASSOCIATION
Being Inaugurated by Southern Pas
senger Agents.

senger Agents.
The Southern Passenger Association
will go into existence on the LIST of
April next. The mass meeting of the
passenger men and the executive Off
GERS of southern railroads in session
at Atlanta adopted the new rules for
the new association. No commissioner
was elected. 1t was decided that April
LIST be the date of the birth of the new
association instead of March 10Th as
originally intended.
It was at first agreed that all the
Withdrawals of the roadg which we're
members of the old association should
90 into effect on March 18th. This
was six months after the Queen and
Crescent, the first one of the flock of
Withdrawals to put o notice into the
hands of the assistant commissioner.
The meeting decided, however, that
April 1st would be a better day, and
by general consent this time was
agreed upon.
The most important outcome of the
meeting was the appointment of a
committee of five who are to report on
March 9th upon list of officers.
They will name a commissioner, sec
tetary, president and other officers,
as we'll as an executive board perhaps.
On that date these officers will be
elected, and the railroad world will
know who is to be the new chief exec
utiye head of the Southern States
Passenger Association,
The new rules andregulati0ns which
we're formulated by the committee of
passenger agents were read by sections
end adopted after which they were
adopted as a whole.

A Judge Decides That Prize Fight
Ing D. Leglllmate BuaIness.

A Judge Decides That Prize Fight
Ing f. "a Legitimate Business.
AT New Orleans Tuesday morning
Judge RICHTER handed down the fol-
lowing decision in the case Of the state
VI. Olympic Club:
81 am called upon TO interpret and
enforce act No. %, Of the statutes Of
1890. The title Of tho act reads: AN
ACT defining the crime Of prize fight
ing and 20 provide for the punishment
thereof in and out Of the state Of
Louisiana The act embraces two
sections and a proviso, neither Of the
sections defining the crime Of prize
fighting, nor does the proviso tell us
what a glove contest is. The former
mot dofned) is forbidden and punish
cd; the latter, under certain condi-
Cons, permitted and by implication
encouraged
Having, under instructions from
the supreme court, excluded all expert
testimony as to the distinction between
these differently designated methods
Of pugilism, and referring only to the
facts proved in the one case and in
the other / find that a prize fight is a
glove contest without gloves, aud that
a glove contest is prize fight with
gloves. In each case, there is a duel
with fists, and there is a prize. In
each case, there is the same danger
TO limb and life, the same manning and
shedding Of blood, the same brutality.
81 conclude, therefore, that the act
entitled, AN act defining the crime Of
prize fighting and to provide for the
punishment thereof, in and out of the
state of Louisiana, is a piece Of legis-
lative fraud and mendacity. IL Meth
er defines the crime Of prize fighting,
nor does it provide any penalty for
the same, which cannot be evaded by
the mockery of covering with the
gloves the hand of the gladiators.
That a glove contests brutal and dan
gerous as a prize fight was clearly set
tied in the case of Layigne vs.. Andy
Bowen.
"On the whole, I find that a prize
fight in Louisiana is glove contest,
and that a glove contest is a prize
fight. 1t logically follows, that, there
being no prohibition Of glove contests
in this state, the same being legalized
and encouraged under certain condi-
tions, which the prize fighter willingly
accepts, prize fighting is now, what it
never was before the enactment of
statute No. 25, of 1890, a Legitimate
business and domestic industry, under
the special protection of the law,
while, before the passage of that stat
ute, it would constitute the crime of
assault and battery, and in some cases
of manslaughter.
Judgment for the Olympic Club. "

The Wanted protection of the seals
in Alaskan water is a myth, in the
opinion of the New York Mail and Ex-
press. Secretary Carlisle reports that
121, 143 were killed by pelagic sealers
last year. This statement has caused
a suggestion to be made in Congress
that the Government undertake the
slaughter of the remaining seals, esti-
mated to number 45O, 900, and sell the
skins, which would be valued at $10,-
100000 if properly cured. 1t is
strange that the two greatest Govern
ments in the world cannot protect the
seals. Possibly there is some reason
not apparent on the surface why this
is so.

THE sEABoARD's MOVE.
President Hoffman Says Determined
Fight Will be Made.

President Hoffman, of the Seaboard
Airline, in talking about the boycott
which the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association had instituted
against the Seaboard, and the cut in
passenger rates which his line has
made in retaliation, snys:
"We have made our move, and we
are now waiting for the other fellows
to do something. Our cut has not
been met as yet; at least there has
been no public announcement. We
are prepared to make q determined
fight for what we know to be our
rights. Some of our competitors say
that the action of the Southern Rail-
way and Steamship association was
not boycott. If the fight that asso-
citation is making against us is not
what is generally termed boycott, I
would like to know what it is. At all
events, we consider it a boycott and
will resist it with all the power at our
command.
