WALCoTT WINS.
GIVEN THE DECISION OVER "sCAL-
DY BILL QUINN.
the Referee Assures Them That
1T is All Right.

WOBURN, Mass, May Z9.-Captain Bill
DAILY of Boston tonight gave Joe Walcott
the decision over "Scaldy Bill" Quinn of
Pennsylvania, at the end of a twenty
round contest. The $500 spectators manI-
tested their diSapproval by a demonStra-
ton. The preliminary bout of fifteen
lightweight, and Paddy Fenton OF Bos-
ton, was in favor of the New Yorker, and
this decision was also greeted with o:s-
approval. Both contests, however were
warm ones, and were loudly applauded.
Quinn opened the contest with left
on the body, followed by a light ex-
change. Joe landed lightly with his left
in the second, and the next round Quinn
fought warily. Joe chased mis- man around
the ring in the fourth, and finally got in
several hard swings, Quinn showed up
gong sounded Joe was doing all the lead
ing. The next four rounds were the New
Workers. In the tenth round Quinn was
sent down against the ropes by ter
rifle left-hander. He rose just as the gong
sounded. The next four rounds witnessed
some good work, Walcott generally lead
ing but receiving much the worst punish
ment. The next round was Quinns. In
the fifteenth Joe landed safely on the face
and body. His opponent, however, did
not seem to mind it, and when the eigh-
The nineteenth went against Walcott,
who evidently had his hands full. Hot
work by both closed the contest.
Walcott began to look tired and was
content to act on the defensive. When
he got the decision the crowd howled, but
Captain DAILY explained that he acted
only from a scientific standpoint.

BOTHERSOME HEATHENS.
tween the United States and
China.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The attorney
general has rendered an opinion in which
he CONSTITUTES article of the treaty of
1894 between the United States and China.
Under the act of 1884 China's subjects of
the excepted classes entering the United
States for the first time are required
to produce certificates of identification,
etc, from the Chinese government, or
"such other foreign government of which
at the time such Chinese person shall be
subject
In his opinion the attorney general holds
in effect that under the treaty of 1884,
the certificate referred to may be obtain
ed from the Chinese government or from
the government where they last resided
regardless of whether they are subjects
of that government or merely residents of
it. The particular question decided is that
Chinese OF the privileged classes residing
in the British colony of Hong Kong and
producing certificates, such certificates
should be signed by the registrar general
of that colony, even though they be sub
jects of the emperor of China, before be-
ing deemed to have complied with the
treaty regulations.
In regard to a Chinese laborer leaving
this country and remaining away longer
than year by reason of sickness or
other causes beyond his control, the at
torney general in another opinion holds
that the certificate as to the facts re-
quired by the treaty-to be issued by the
Chinese consul at the port of depart
ure, must be issued by the Chinese con-
sui at the port of departure in this coun-
try and not in China. The collector of
customs at Burlington, VT, raised the
point that as the consul in this country
could have no personal knowledge CT the
facts, the port of departure should be
held to mean the Chinese port of Depart
ure. This contention, however, was over
ruled as there are only two Chinese con-
suls in the United States, one in New
York and the other in San Francisco.
The new rule, it is said, is likely to pro-
duce some confusion.

The total number of dead in St Louis,

In East ST. Louis the city officials de-

81 SOC. 600 to $50 100000 for East st. Louis.
The most popular estimate is in the

the city have been overwhelmed with
orders for rebuilding and the work of

PRETORIA, May 30.-Barney Bar
had a long interview with President
Kruger, pleading eloquently for Glenn
ency for the reform prisoners. He
urged that the heavy punishment
which the prisoners had al
ready undergone had indicated
the law, and if they were
kept in prison any longer they
might emerge with bitter feeling,
which would be likely to carry a de-
plorable race hatred for generations.
There were over 200,0O0,000 pounds
sterling involved directly by the fall
of value in shares since the reformers
had been sentenced. He estimated
that there were 100000 600 pounds of the
capital of the world besides, which was
deeply interested. Once confidence
was destroyed, it would take a life
time to redeem it.
President Kruger listened to Mr..
Barnato with attention for an hour
and half and he seemed to be great
ly impressed with what he had said,
but he INDUCED in some spirited re-
partee during the interview. He as
sured Mr.. Barnato that he was still
doing his utmost to obtain further
mitigation of the sentences of the re-
formers, and that he would pursue the
course which he thought righteous I'M
til influenced by outside developments.
He trusted to the future, he said, to
justify his actions.
