On the opposite side Of the ring were
two little tents for the principals.
Little time was lost In getting ready.
The referee called the men to the

American colors. He had on black

ring shoes When q similar office
had been performed for Maher he

TO the knees with green belt. His
hose and shoes were similar to those

"Shake hands," Referee Miller said.
The men advanced, Fltzsimmons with
the air Of confidence still showing

flashing like balls Of FURNISHED blue.
Maher's advance was rapidly enough
TO meet E'itzsimmons almost in the
middle OF the 24-foot ring. His eyes
were circled from the recent attack OF
''alkali eye" and seemed staring like
stage makeup without the deceptive
footlight glare. The big fight for the
heavyweight championship Of the
world was at last . reality.
Fitz led with his frst; Maher backed
toward his corner. Fitz landed with

at an early day on the several pending
propositions requesting Spain to re-
cognize the belligerency Of Cuba, and
requesting recognition OF Cuban in.
dependence. There is every indication,
also, that the dc cate will lead TO more
radical and decisive resolutions.
In graphically picturing the rise and
spread Of the rebellion, Mr.. Lodge said
In brief Just year ago an
other revolution began. 1t he ran in
the eastern part OF the island with
small band Of 500 men. The 500 have
grown until even to-day the hostile ac-
counts represent them at $4,000 In the
field. We know that the railroad lines
are cut, that every report OF a Spanish
victory that comes to us in the news.
papers Is followed by the statement OF
fresh insur gent advance. We know,
as a matter OF fact, that the whole OF
that island to-day, except where the
Spanish fleets ride at anchor, and
where the Spanish armies are en-
camped, Is In the hands Of tine insur-
gents. think it Is not unreasonable
in them to ask some recognition at the
hands Of the United States"
There was hearty applause as Mr.
Lodge closed with the following peror-
alton: III that war goes on In Cuba,
with the added horrors which the new
general brings with him, il It contin.
ues, the responsibility is on u.s. We
cannot escape it. We should exert
every influence OF the United States
Standing, US | believe they do, for HUI
nanity and civilization. we should ex-
ercise every influence Of our great
country to put stop to that great
war which is now raging there, and
try TO give to that island once more
peace and liberty and security"
Mr.. Morgan, who rep'rled the reso-
luton, expressed the opinion that any
action that this country might take
looking to Cuban recolnitof would
result In war with Spain. and he also
said Spain would welcome war with
this country, which would afford her
legitimate excuse to ret rid OF Cuba in
a way not to wound her pride. The
galleries broke into loud applause
when, in response to a question by Mr..
Frye, Mr.. Morgan said: my opinion
Is that congress has the perfect, indie
pendent, solute right to make this
recognition OF belligcrency, or decla-
ration OF independence, and, II 1t is
necessary, to enforce II bvany military
movement ut SEA or on land; 1t has the
right to command the commander-in.

the field in person, II II Is necessary to
enforce the execution OF that order.
| That is my opinion"
Mr., Cameron and Mr.. Call also spoke.
Mr. Cameron gave notice that II the
resolution was adopted requesting
Spain to act, and she dill not, he would
