NEWLANDS.
The Gentleman From Nevada Talks
on the Silver Question.

The Gentleman From Nevada Talks
on the Silver Question.
WASHINGTON, April Representa-
tive Newlands of Nevada, today made a
speech before the house ways and means
committee on the competition of the sill
yer standard countries with the indus
tries of the United States. He said it
was not the desire of the silver men to
bring the labor of the United States
down to the standard of the silver using
countries, but by increasing the use and
price of silver, to bring their labor up
to our standard and deprive it of its adj
vantage.
He said we have now a tariff system
which measurably protects us against the
cheap labor of Europe. But what tariff
can protect US against Oriental labor,
only one-third or one-fourth as high
priced as European labor. Agents of
japanese manufacturing institutions were
established on the Pacific coast selling
rugs, mating, watches clocks and other
goods far below the American goods of
the same class. There was excitement
over the invasion of Chinese laborers.
If the price of silver was advanced to
$1.29 the Japanese competition would be
checked, if silver remained at its pres
ent price their manufacturing establish
ments would be enlarged and the COM
petition increased.

TOM AND JOE.
The Former Managed to Stand Up
Eight Rounds.

Eight Rounds.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-In the
meet tonight between Tom Sharkey
and Joe Choynski, Sharkey managed
to last eight rounds with Choynski
and was given the decision. He was
frightfully punished by Choynski. In
the first round Sharkey fouled Choyn-
ski and the police stopped the fight
for twenty minutes. At the end of that
time Choynski went on with the con-
test.
Choynski was the aggressor from
the start. Choynski rcached Sharkey's
face with his left and followed it up
with a hot left on the neck, which put
Sharkey staggering against the ropes.
Choynski landed his left on the jaw
and in a mix Joe knocked Sharkey
clear through the ropes and the latter
fell on his head on the outside. Choyn-
ski reached the jaw and nose in quick
succession with his left. 1t was at the
close of the first round that Sharkey
fouled Choynski.
Sharkey landed several light blows
on Choynski, but did no harm. Joe
beat him all over the ring and the
marine clinched and fell repeatedly to
avoid punishment Most of Choynski's
blows were left hand jabs and he
could not get in a right hand knock
out, for which he was evidently play
ing. In the eighth round Joe knocked
Sharkey down repeatedly and had HIM
all but out when the call of time saved
the sailor and ended the fight.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Boxing made as
harmless as top-spinning or any other
child's game, or the manly art of
self-defense" reduced to punching bag
eXercise-this astonishing transforma-
ton of pugilism was illustrated in this
city last evening. The new scheme
for making blows harmless consists of
vest of padded material and a mask
Tor the jaw and nose. 1t is so built
that even the most heavily landed
blows seem ito the wearer, like a gen
tie tapping, and a person provided
with the device is practically invul-
nerable against a Knockout.
Bob Frazer, a local amateur boxer,
is the inventor. He completed this new
suit of his invention three days ago.
Besides the protection afforded the
wearer, there is an electrical regis
terlng device to count the number of
blows struck. This will result in max
ing sparring contest for points in
which no referee is needed to give the
decision. When a vulnerable point is
struck a stiff spring is compressed, an
electrical contact is made, a small bell
makes a single stroke and the regis
ter counts one. The batteries, wires,
register and bell are all fitted in the
UdCh u Lie sui dHu are extremely
light. Only Furnishing blows are made
to count.
Last evening Mr.. Frazer donned his
suit for go with J. ]. Corbett The
big man chased his little antagonist
about the stage, delivering blows with
both hands until the register on the
back of Mr.. Frazers suit indicated 100
blows. Mr.. Frazer's score was about
six.
After the trial the champion express
ed himself as astonished and delighted
with the new invention and said it
would prove a great benefit to the art
of boxing. A person equipped with it
would be practically secure against a
Knockout, even by far superior an
tagonist.

ROENTGEN RAYS.
A Positive Foe to Diphtheria and
Typhoid Fever.

CHICAGO, April 16.-Prof. H. P.
Pratt and Prof. Hugh Wightnan an
nounce to the world that dfphtheria
and typhoid are absolutely killed by
the Roentgen rays. This statement is
made without reserve The decision
was reached this evening in the labor
atory when the last of the germs
which had been exposed to the rays
failed to show signs of life under the
gfass-the deadly bacilli remaining idle
and inactive in the midst of the best
and most tempting imitation of HUI
man tissue
Four new colonies of epidemic breed
ers, labeled as cholera, tuberculosis,
hog cholera and diphtheria, were To-
Gated in tubes filed with nutriment.
Prof Pratt turned the current into +he
great cell and the ray was thrown into
the group of bacflli. The magic
agency was allowed to work two min
utes. The two physicians are risking
their professional reputation by the
prophecy that not one of the four
groups will ever be able to recover.
They are certain of the effect on the
diphtheria; confident concerning the
other three

Water Rising Caused BY the Melting
of the Snow.
MONTREAL, April 16.-Great dam
age is being done in the eastern town
ships of Quebec by water rising in the
rivers, due to the melting snow. Rail-
way bridges and tracks are washed
out, houses submerged and factory
fires extinguished. The Quebec Cen
trail lost it's great iron bridge, $50 feet
long, which crosses a ravine twenty
one miles south of Point Lewis. This
cuts off all communication between
this section and the New England
states. In the vicinity of Sherbrooke
the tracks of the Quebec Central, the
Maine Central and the Boston & Maine
have been washed out in various
places. Traffic will be interrupted for
weeks. At Sherbrooke the st. Fran
els river has burst from its banks and
covers the country for the distance of
half a mile between that city and
Richmond. AT Richmond the water is
several feet deep IN the main street.
The village of GAINESVILLE is complete
ly submerged. Umberton and Mel
bourne suffer in lesser degree. The
water is still rising.

REEDS NAME,
1t Called Forth Great Enthusiasm
at Portland.


at Portland.
PORTLAND, Me-, April 16.-With en-
thusiasm almost unequaled in the history
of Republican politics in this state the
convention for the nomination of dele
gates to the national convention was held
here today. The enthusiasm centered
about the name of Thomas b. Reed, the
unanimous choice of the convention as
a candidate for president. The slightest
reference to Reed called forth demonStra-
tions.
Hannibal E. Hamlin was chosen chair
man and made a speech in advocacy of
protection and honest money" AT the
mention of Reeds name the cheering
continued, ever increasing in strength
fully five minutes. Herbert NJ. Heath, of
Augusta, chairman of the committee on
resolutions, reported the following plat
form:
The Republicans of Maine gladly join
with their brethren in other state in pre-
senting to the Republican nation for the
promotion 10 the presidency the speaker
of the national house of represen tatives.
He needs no platform but the record
of his life. Under his administration.
his public efforts conSpicuou6ly show,
would be restored that Republican policy
of protection taught by Lincoln, illustrat-
ed by the signal prosperity of the country
for thirty years and surrounded by the
reciprocity of Blaine-a policy which
would be adapted to the business of the
country and adjusted with care from time
10 time TO the changed conditions. Then
with confidence and prosperity restored,
the revenue will be made adequate to
the support of the government and the
issuing of bonds, ostenSibly for the MAIN
Ienance of the redemption fund, but really
to meet a deficiency, will cease. He is
opposed TO free and unlimited coinage
of silver, except by international agree
ment, and until such agreement be
obtained, believes the present gold stand
ard should be maintained. He has always
been uncompromisingly for the mainten-
ance Of the highest national credit by
the utmost good faith toward the public
credit, not for the creditors sake but
for the nations sake, for the sound
re son that the most valuable possession
of anV nation in time of war or distress
next to the courage of its people, is an
honorable reputation.
Who ever pays with honor, borrows
with ease A sound finance and certainty
at the treasury and protection for pro-
ducers viii mean prosperity and peace.
Our candidate favorS the restriction of
immigration. he favors the just admin
istration of all pension laws and is an
earnest friend OF American shipping and
its restora lion to its former rank in the
world. He stands for the preservation !
Under his administration the Repub-
lican party can say with him: "And
when the times comes, as it will surely
some, for us to lead this land back to
those paths of prosperity and fame which
were trodden under the Republican rule
for so many years, we shall take back
with us our ancient glory undimmed by
adversely, our ancient honor unsullied by
defeat"

Can't Do 1t.

DENVER, April ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
Senator Teller and Representative
Shafroth have decided definitely that
they will not be candidates for election
as delegates to the national Repu blican
convention. Both say they cannot sup
port gold standard candidate for the
presidency, and they would only place
themselves in an embarrassing position
by participating in a convention so
certain to take a position against silver
as they consider the Republican con-
vention to be.
Senator Teller says he promised the
people of Colorado in 1894 he would not
support a gold standard man in the
campaign OF 1896, and he will not
change his position now.

WASHINGTON. April 16.-The pension
legislation to be taken up by this con-
gress was the subject of a conference
py Republican leaders today, in ex-
Speaker Reeds room. There were pres
ent, the speaker, Chairman Picker of
the committee on pensions and Repre-
Sentauves Dingley, Dalzell and Payne.
MT. Pfckler's general pension bill re-
ported 10 the house by the committee
was discussed infinitely, as the commit
Tee on rules desired to become familiar
with che terms of the bill before decid-
ing whether to give it time for discussion
would
BE A GOOD POLICY
to take up the pension question, and the
Dill VIII be brought forward in the House
and ample time given for debate on 1t
Within few days. Several changes were
suggested in the details of the measure
however, and these will be submitted to
the pensions committee for approval be-
Tore the bill is taken up.
Under this bill continuance or reduc-
tfons of pensions would be unlawful ex-
cept for fraud, clerical errors, mistake
IN facts or recovery from disabilities.
Commissioner Raurns interpretations OF
the act OF 1890, which have been largely
reversed by the present administration,
would be restored and pensioners dropped
from the rolls by these reversalS, would
be restored on application. The securing
of pensions would be considerably facil-
itated. One of the changes which Speaker
Reed and his colleagues desire, is to drop
the section of the Picker bill, which
establishes a presumption that disabili-
ties were incurred
THROUGH VICIOUS HABITS.
Mr.. Picker estimates that with the bill
In operation the pension budget would be
increased from two TO three millions
year.
