GEN. RUSSELL HASTINGS HURr.
Leg Fractured by a Wagon-President Me-

Leg Fractured by a Wagon-President Me-
Kinley Calls on Him at the Hospital.
Washington, March 10.-General Rus
sell Hastings of Bermuda, West In
dies, who commanded the Twenty
third Ohio infantry, in which President
Mckinley was an officer, was knocked
down by a wagon while crossing Flf-
teenth street, opposite the treasury de-
partment this afternoon. His right
leg was fractured near the knee joint.
At the time of the accident General
Hastings and General and Mrs. J. L..
Botsford of Youngstown, o., were re-
turning from visit to President Nc
Kinley. General Hastings had gone
there to say goodbye to his old COM
rade, preparatory to sailing for Ber-
muda on Saturday. After the accident
he was accompanied to the Emergency
hospital by General Botsford, who went
back to the white house to tell the pres
ident when the fracture had been set.
The president sent a bunch of flowers
and personal note to the injured man
and later drove to the hospital and had
conversation with his former COM
the surgeons to give him the best of
care. When the president was told that
the injury would not result seriously
he reminded General Hastings that he
had last seen him wounded at Winches-
ter, where the same leg was wounded.
"Now, general command me day or
night" said President Mckinley in
leaving, "and while you are at the hos
pital I shall make it pleasant duty to
come to see you. Good bye, old fel-
low"
General Hastings was taken to Gar
field hospital soon afterwards.
While Rutherford p. Hayes was in
the white house General Hastings was
a frequent visitor there. His regiment
had been originally commanded by
Colonel Hayes. The friendship of the
two men was cemented by General
Hastings marriage in the white house
to Miss Emily Platt, a niece of Mr..
Hayes.

RULES OF THE BIG FIGHT,
Referee Siler Has Drafted a New Pugtlistic
Code.

Code.
Carson, New, March 10.-The most
delicate subject in connection with the
big fight was broached to-day when
Referee George Siler submitted to
Corbett and Fitzsimmons his interpre-
tation of the Queensbury rules. Sill
vers communication, which was in the
nature of a formal letter, was not re-
ceived with manifestations OF Joy at
either camp. The big fellows read their
letters theughtfully and reserved judg-
ment. If Siler had any doubt as to
the propriety OF his action in outlining
his views at this time they must be
dissipated now. The fighters could
never have agreed upon the rules after
entering the ring. Each man appears
to be playing possum juts now and
waiting for the other to commit him.
self. 1t is not unwise. however, to
predict that a conference between Sill
er, Stuart and the representatives of
the principals will be necessary before
the matter of rules is finally settled.

The new law against passing
counterfeit coins in brief may be
explained that the law is in the
main an extension of that against
counterfeiting. 1t provides that
the passing Of mutilated or defaced
coins or the mutilation or deface-
ment Of coin for any purpose shall
be held to be a criminal otfense,
punishable by imprisonment for a
period of one to five years and a
fine Of 500 to $4,000 Under this
law the practice of presenting la
dies with coins of gold or silver
with the initials of the donor en-.
graved thereon, to be worn as
bangles, will be a criminal offense.
The law also drives out ofexistence
a number of people who have made
a living by purchasing mutilated
coins at o reduction from their face
value and plugging up the holes so
skillfully that the original mutila-
tion could not be discovered. Even
this kind of tampering with money
viii be regarded as an offense under
the statute.
