F1Tzs1MMoNs' RETIREMENT.
Prospective Action Causes Harsh
Criticism in New York.


New York, March 2O-Bob Fitzsim-
mons reported intention to retire from
the ring has caused the question to
arise as to whether he is Going the
proper thing. The fact that he does
not intend to give another chance to
Corbett, at least for the present, is
taken seriously by a number Of sports
who have considered both sides of the
case. The general opinion is that the
champion should make Corbett wait
until he gets good and ready to fight
him again. Corbett, when he was on
top, they argue. did all in his power
to humiliate and belittle the Cornish
mans fistic abilities. and he made him
meet second class heavy weights be-
fore the vanquished Californian would
even entertain Fitzsimmons' challenge.
Now that he holds the upper hand,
Bob's admirers say that he should let
Corbett do a little worrying on his own
hook.
AS to whether Fitzsimmons should
retire, the impression prevails that.
while he is entitled to a rest, it would
be advisable for him to emulate John
l.. Sullivan's example, and keep on
defending the title. At any rate. this
is what the sports say is the proper
caper, if he wishes to act according to
the ethics and rules of the prize ring.
Billy Edwards, when asked whether
he thought Corbett should receive an
0htre chance to fight Fitzsimmons
said: while l think Corbett is a
great fighter Fitzsimmons is certainly
his master l don't blame Bob for
making him wait, because he treated
him the same way.
A great many sporting men believe
that if Fitzsimmons fights again his
opponent should be Joe Goddard. AS
TO Peter Maher, it is maintained that
after Fitzsimmons' battle with God
dard, and if he is victorious. the Irish
man should come next. Many OF Pc
ter's friends believe he has a good OPP
nortunitv of whipping Bob. but are
afraid that his eyesight will go back
on him.

IN The PATRIOTS CAUSE
ANOTHER BIG AND SUCCESSFUL
CUBAN EXPEDITION.
Arms, Ammunition, Hospital Sup
plies, Dynamite, Hand Grenades
and Other Useful Articles Aboard.

New York, March pa Press spec
ial from Punta Gorda, Fla, says:
At midnight Friday one of the larg-
est expeditions that ever left this coast
sailed for Cuba from here laden with
arms, ammunition. hospital supplies,
1000 pounds of dynamite, hand grenades
and many other articles of the kind.
The supplies have been coming here
for the last week and were hidden by
good and trusted agents up the Peace
river on the islands there.
At midnight the tug Fearless went
up the river and an hour later she
came down laden to the waters edge
and towing a large, strange schooner,
also heavily laden. They went out to
sea at once, and according to reports
made by night policemen here, met a
large steamer five miles off the coast
and transferred a large amount OF
goods. II took them about six hours
to complete the transfer
After that they came in and took out
men. 1t is said that about 80 were on
board the tug. These men came down
on the night train. They came in
locked cars and were dropped off about
six miles above the town.
This is the fifth expedition, it is said,
that has been sent off here undetected
in the last two months.

morning and about $3.50 he was found
by the clerks lying on the floor in a
room adjoining the main office, quite
dead. Dr. C. F. Wilcox was called, but
the spark of life having fled his art

mine that apoplexy was the cause OF
death

City of Mexico. March 2O.-Mexican
officials are much displeased at stories
which are being printed in certain
American newspapers, and which are
apparently furnished by some individ
uals here for the purpose of putting
Mexicans in a bad light with Ameri-
cans. 1t was recently published in the
United States that the MeXicanS were
incensed against Americans. AS a mat
ter of fact, the latter never stood bet
ter than now in the estimation of all
classes in this country.
A dispatch stating that there was an
epidemic in Mexico, and another to the
effect that three Boston men were COM
ing here to purchase the American flags
captured during the Mexican war were
without the slightest foundation in
truth.

PRIOR to the enactment of the Will
son law, the eastern cities and man
ufacturing establishments were sup
piled with coal largely from the Vir-
ginia and West Virginia mines.
When the Wilson law was enacted,
however, coal from Nova Scotia in
vaded the eastern market, driving
out the Virginia and West Virginia
product, and compelled the mines of
that section to find a market else
where. The result was that their
coal went west instead of east as it
formerly had done, and with reduced
rates was laid down in the markets of
Cincinnati, Chicago, and other west
ern cities at such low rates that a
coal war followed by railroad rate
war was precipitated. The natural
result of this and the reductions in
prices which followed was a reduc-
ton in wages of coal miners, all of
which is thus clearly traceable to the
Wilson law and its reduction in duties
on coal. Happily the new tariff bill
restores practically the Mckinley
law rates, and there is good reason to
believe that the miners as we'll as
other labOring men will soon feel the
effects of restored protection and
restored prosperity. The Wilson law
reduced the rates of duty on coal from
Is cents per ton to 10 cents per ton
This is just about the amount of
reduction in miners wages of which
complaint is now being made and
emphasized by the strike announced
for July 4th. President RatchfOrd of
the United Mine Workers Associa-
ton, in a communication to the New
York Her0Id, indicates that the
wages of miners have been reduced
since 1898 an average of 30 cents per
ton, which is just about the amount
of the reduction in duties made by
the Wilson law. Curiously this re-
duction in wages is thus coincident
as to time and amount with the
reduction in tariff That the reduc-
ton in wages was a direct result of
the decreased tariff is thus accurate
ly shown in the above striking series
of facts.

Taxing Aliens.

One of the good effects Immediately
following the passage of the law by
the Pennsylvania Legislature taxing
alien wOrkmen (unnaturalized for
eigners) three cents per day each, and
making it incumbent on the employ
er to collect the tax by Withholding
the amount from the wOrkmen's
pay, has been witnessed in the
action of the Allegheny Valley
railroad. Orders have been issued
for the discharge of every unnatural
lied workmen in the employ of the
road. The reason given is that the
road does not care to bother with the
collection of the tax
1t turns out that nearly every sec
ton hand on the entire road is an
unnaturalized foreigner, of the class
that never intend to become natural
lied, but after accommodating a few
dollars and enjoying the advantages
of a few years residence in free coun-
try, return to their own land with
their savings. Hereafter only Amer
lean citizens, native and naturalized,
will be employed by the road.
The law is bound to have a good
effect in Pennsylvania. The class of
unnaturalized foreigners aimed at
has been crOwding out American lab
or TO very GREAT pYtpnt Tboca con,
posing it work for low wages, are sat
isfied to live as no self-respecting
American wOrking-man cares to live,
and yet they enjoy the protection of
our laws, their children get the bene-
fit of education at public expense,
while they themselves have little
respect for law and order, never ex-
pect to become citizens and pay no
taxes. 1t is probable that other EN-
ployers will follow the example of the
Allegheny road, as they are not like
ly to want to be bothered with the
collection of the three cent tax, and
the result will be the clearing out of
this undesirable class of labor in
Pennsylvania.
Next to a national immigration law
which would. admit only such immi-
grants of good character as come here
in good faith to assume the duties of
citizenship, state laws like that in
Pennsylvania will go far toward &C.

FARMERS who are feeling a great
interest in the production of sugar in
the United States will not be enam-
ored of the party which threatened
even the life of the tariff bill in order
to prevent the adoption of a bounty
clause giving quarter of a cent 10.
as an encouragement for the produc-
tion of beet sugar. The Republican
Senators at the close of the tariff de-
bate proposed an amendment paying
a quarter Of a cent a pound bounty
for the term of five years on beet
sugar produced in the United States
and would have promptly passed it
man Jones of the Democratic Nation
al Committee that the proposition
would be met with a prolonged and
indefinite discussion which would
greatly delay and perhaps endanger
the final passage of the tariff bill
The sugar trust is greatly opposed to
the encouragement of beet-sugar pro-
ductiOn in the United States, and it
will be remembered that Senator
Jones is one of the men who framed
the present low-tariff law in a way to
make the sugar trust the most pow
erful and successful organization in
