he punished his opponent severely in the
eighth round, when the referee stopped
the fight.
In the succeeding event Calan made
a desperate effort against Muldoon's
Pickaninny, but the contest was spoiled
by a lot of huggng by both contestants.
The American had the advantage of the
Engishman in height and reach. Callan
had the best of the fifth round, but the
sixth ended in favor of the American
The succeeding rounds were mostly in
favor of Callan, but in the fourteenth the
American settled the business and won

WANT RECIPROCITY.
Members of the Canadian Cabinet Were
Greatly Interested in the Election.


New York. Nov. S.-The Morning Adj
vertiser will say:
Three members of the new Canadian
cabinet were so interested in the out
come of the recent presidential election
that they came to New York to study the
methods by which it was conducted and
to learn the results at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. They are William Field
ing, minister of finance; William Patter-
son. minister of customs, and Andrew
j. Blair, minister of railways. The trio
arrived few days before the election
and left last evening. apparently well sat
isfied with the result. They seemed to
share the opinion expressed by large
number of Canadian newspapers that
President Mckinley will be unduly hos
tile to them on the reciprocity bonding
regulations. fisheries and other questions
at issue between this country and Can
ada.
Minister Fielding said "No, / don't
see any reason why Canadians should
be alarmed | think the chances of ar
irving at an amicable arrangement re-
garding number of questions over
which Canada and the United States
are at variance will be quite as good if
not better after his Inauguration than
at any time in the last four years.
"Then you don't believe that the fact
that Mr.. Mckinley is a pronounced pro-
tectionist will initiate against Canada's
chances of obtaining reciprocity
treaty."
81 do not see why it should, for the re-
publican platform declares for both pro-
lection and reciprocity. The Canadian
government will be pleased to open nego-
tiations for a reciprocity treaty. We
will send representatives to Washington

also to try in the main to cooperate with
the rest of Europe in sweeping retaliatory
measures against the United States. The
government has taken notice of the book
and score of copies have been bought
for use in the different foreign Offices.
Miss Celeste Crooneyelt of New Orleans
gave piano recital this evening, at which
most of the prominent of the American
and English colonies were present.
Herr Detring, the customs commission
er Of China, who is about to return to
his post, In an interview says he believes
that if Ii Hung Chang is minister of for
eign affairs he will practically take charge
of the work Of the old tsung Ii yamen and
direct China's foreign policy. The inter
nal reforms, he adds, will proceed slowly.
He asserts that France and Russia have
agreed to raising the Chinese ad valorem
duties subject to the assent of Great Brit
ain, which is regarded as certain to be
given. H.I ll .niais4'fg aA
