Fight With Denver Ed Smith
Stopped by the Referee.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-The twenty-round
bout between joe Choynski, of California,
and Denver Ed Smith tonight was cut short
by Referee Roche, who stopped the bout after
two minutes and eight seconds Of fighting
in the fourth round Smith frequently tried
to hold Choynskis hand during the first three
rounds and was roundly Kissed for doing So.
Choynski had an easy task for he knocked
Smith down in the first round, and the Dem
yer man took nearly the full ten seconds in
getting to his feet. Joe was always ready with
left jabs, and he sent them in on Smith s
face repeatedly. At the close of the third
round, Smiths face was badly punished and
the blood trickled over Choynski's body during
the clinches. The foul tactics of Smith, in the
fourth round, made Referee Roche caution
him. Finally Smith clinched and refused to
break, acting like one bereft of his senses. The
referee shouted to him, but all to no purpose.
Smith would not break away and kept rub
bing his head into Choynski's face, covering
the Californian with his blood. AS soon as the
referee succeeded in getting them separated,
he sent them to their corners and stopped the
bout. He awarded the fight to Choynski and
there were mingled cheers and groans from
all over the house. Time Of round, minutes
and 3 seconds. Choynsh was the favorite in
the betting at odds of to 5.
Choynski was seconded by Tom Sharkey,
Parson Davies, George Ross and Bob Arm
strong; Smith by Peter Maher, Pete Burns.
Buck Connolly, Dick Colyer and Jack Quinn.
Choynski weighed 178 pounds and Smith was
but a few pounds heavier.

CIVIL SERvICEl
ChicagO's Police Chief Dis
charges 434 Officers
Under That Plea.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Chief of Police Kip
ley today issued an order discharging
from the force 434 policemen and ap-
pointing in their place a like number of

licemen who had been discharged under
the previous Republican administration
1t is the biggest cO-caIled general or
der" issued since ex-Chief Badenoch,
(Republican) issued his famous order

men.
Chief Kipley's order drops from the
police and retires on pensions three
desk Sergeants, one detective sergeant
and 20 patrOlmen. Eight desk Sergeants,
two detective sergeants, two patrol ser
geants and 1893 patrolmen were dis
charged outright.
Chief Ripley says the charges are
rnadein order to put4the entire DEPART
ment under civil service. The men dis
charged he said, owed their appoint
mentS to political influence. All the
newly appointed officers have passed
the civil service examinations.
One notable feature of the order is
that the four detectives who did the
most conspicuous work the Luet-
CERT case are discharged. They are
detectives Sergeant Walter Dean. who
it is alleged found the gold rings in the
famous middle vat of the sausage fac
tory; and Detectives George Lang, John
Zederberg and G. L. GriebenOW. All
these men worked in the case under
personal direction of Inspector Schaack
CRepublican). One of the patrolmen
removed is Nicholas MichaeIs, a broth

order has caused much excitement in
political circles.

Garrisons. N. Y.,Oct. 26.-The express
car attached to the New York Central
train that was wrecked near this place

tanned $50,000 and there was quite a
number of packages shipped.

ent of the company at Albany were
present and supervised the work of re-
moving the car. The New York Cen
trail had force of detectives in, the
neighbOrhood guarding the car and for
two days six express company men had
been about Kings Point armed to the
teeth. Last night several suspicious
characters were noticed prowling about
the sunken car in boats but they were
warned away.

WHAT LONG SUMNER DID
Resulted in Two Big Crops of Pota-
toes From the Same Land.

Secretary F. D. Coburn of the state
board of agriculture has received from
Mann Bros. & Frisbie of Wilder, fifteen
miles west of Kansas City, some fine
samples of potatoes which are the result
of a volunteer growth as a second crop
The production of these potatoes is some
thing wonderful
In June and July the firm, which is
probably the largest grower of potatoes
in the state, took care of the first crop,
grown from Early Ohio seed, and imme-
dfately stirred the ground with a turn
ing plow. The small potatoes were
thereby covered up and they were not
slow in availing themselves of the oppor-
tunity to grow.
The firm estimates that 1000 bushels
of potatoes will be gathered from this
volunteer growth. Those received by Mr.
Coburn are of good size and solid. They
are indeed among the finest samples OF
potatoes seen on the market this year.
In writing to Mr.. Coburn, one of the
members of the firm says these second
crop potatoes are used by them for seed
in preference to the northern varieties.

lister to Spain who has just returned
from Madrid, is about to address an
elaborate communication to the people
of the United States on the Cuban
question. He has reached the convic-
ton that Spanish craftsmanship is inn

feels it to be his duty to lay before his
countrymen his testimony upon the
whole subject matter, in the hope that
it may aid them in taking wide and
just action. In his communication
which will be published in the Novem-
Der number of the North American Re
view, he reviews the matter from every
standpoint, basing his statements upon
the observations which he made in the
course of his negotiations with the
Spanish government. In summing up
the situation he suggests plan where
by the United States may speedily
bring the Cuban war to an end.
