"rEDDLAH" PALMER THE WINNER
knocked Out Johnny Murphy I'm %
Rounds.

London, Oct 12.-"Peddlar" Palmer OF
England, who holds the title Of champion
bantam weight of the world, tonight
defeated Johnny Murphy OF Boston, in a
2-round go before the National Sporting
Club The quarters of the club were
crammed to their utmost capacity many
fashionable sports being among the spec
tators. The opinion among Johnny Muir
phys friends was general that he had
cut out a tough job for himself, ana
Palmer was a hot favorte at the odds
OF to 4.
When the pugilists entered the ring
IL was easy to be seen that both had
paid strict attention to training, ana
it was also plain to the sports that they
were in for a long and tedious fight.
Palmer meant to take no chances, but
to win on points. At no stage of the
20 rounds did he attempt a knockout.
He punished the American little. In
fact there was but little blood she'd
Palmer however, always had the fight
In hand, and at no stage was Murphy
dangerous.
The Londoner depended mainly on hir
left hand. The glove was seldom out
of his rivals face and scarcely more
| than dozen right handed cross coun-
| ters were exchanged. The major portion
he was unable to get near enough to dc
any damage.
Palmer's right handlers were OF the
lightest possible kind. The affair was
voted tame, the only redeeming feature
being Palmers cleverness and Murphy'f
! gameness.
There was little applause at the finish
and in fact the fight had been so one
sided that it was a relief to see 1t ended

Them.

London. Oct. 12-The czarina before
leaving Balmoral castle for France re-
ceived a delegation of laborers, who call
ed to ask for her support for the suffer-

ed on condition that nothing should be
said about it until her majesty left Eng
land.
The delegation, it now appears, urged
the czarina to do something to stay the
hand of the sultan and her majesty
replied that so far she had interfered
but little in politics, although she was
ready TO do anything in her power to
help bring about a crusade against the
existing conditions in Constantinople,
adding:
"A more womanly or Christian action
than helping to alleviate the suffering
people of Armenia is hardly conceivable.
Rest assured of my heartfelt interest in
the cause you have at heart"

Vitality of the Sau..

The question as to whether a man or
woman dies first from asphyxiation was
argued in a Baltimore court recently.
1t was brought by Emil Budnitz. the
administrator of the estate of Mary
Ryan. Mrs. Ryan and her husband.
William Ryan, were both found dead
In bed one morning in October, 1899.
They left property valued at several
thousand dollars. Under the laws OF
Maryland the wife has a right to claim
a third of the property owned by her
husband II he should die intestate.
Mr.. Budnitz, representing the defend
ants heirs, made a point that the vi
tality OF a woman was greater than
that OF man, and that therefore she
and her heirs were the legal owners of
the property left by him. The question
submitted TO the jury was: did Mary
Ryan survive William Ryan," After a
short consultation the jury brought in
a verdict to the effect that both had
died at the same time.
