THE UNITED PRESSES.
Negotiations with Illinois Press Ter
minafed-New York sun Returns.

NEW YORK, February 2O.-The commit
tee Of the United Presses appointed to
confer with a similar committee of the
Associated Press of Illinois. to-day gave
notice to the latter that 1t had been IN
structed to terminate negotiations. NOT
withstapding the fact that the commit
tees Of the two organizations met in the
most conciliatory and amiable spirit, they
were unable to agree upon union. hau
g. union been effected, both parties seemed
entirely agreeable to the application or
any surplus to reduction OF assessments
and the payment Of whatever debts the
two organizations might have against
them 1t was impossible for the represent
tatives Of the United Press TO secure a
union which would fully protect either
their allied organizations or their MEM
bers and clients as individuals. This was
the chief reason why the negotiations
came TO an end.
The United Press Committee desires TO
inform it's members and clients that with
the cordial financial and loyal co-opera-
ton of all Of the New York members ana
its allied organizations over the country,
arrangements have been made by when
the United Press will continue upon
sound, paying basis. This guarantees a
permanent and thoroughly effective ser
vice. The United Associated Presses have
total receipts of more than one million
dollars per annum. With this volume or
business, It is idle to assume that strong
efficient, and permanent service cannot be
maintained. This will be done. and every
member and client OF the United Asso-
ciated Presses can feel assured that he
will have a permanent and satisfactory
service.
The Sun resumes its former relations.
with the United Press. and renews It's
allegiance 10 and hearty support of the
organization. The Herald, Tribune, Times,
and Journal also continue their support,
as heretofore, as well as the members
generally of the United Press proper and
its allied organizations.

GEORGE GREEN-JOE WOLCOTT MATCH
Condition.

CARSON, NEW, February 20-Corbett's
star was partly eclipsed this afternoon
when Fftzsimmons's pink face shone from
a car-window on the Reno train. The
Cornishman was accompanied by Ernest
Roeber. Dan. Hickey, and Martin Julian,
the last-named having met the party at
Reno. Holding his great Dane dog by
strong leash, FitzsimmoDs led a crowd OF
several hundred to the Arlington. where
he usurped Corbett's position as the great

Hickey will keep me busy at present L
hope Jack Stenzeler will be here to work
with me In few days. II he isn't, / Will
get another heavyweight Very little
work will do me; in fact. I am fit now,
barring a few pounds of beef"
Half an hour after his arrival Fitzsim-
mons visited Cooks ranch and looked over
the quarters, which he said suited him
exactly. He returned to Carson for the
early in the morning. bag and baggage.
Corbett's work out this morning lasted
fifty minutes, and he begged Woods and
McVey to make it an even hour, but they
excused themselves. After lunch, the
champion, trainers, and apparatus were
bundled off to Shaw's Springs. jim ana
Joe Corbett tried the new hand-ball court,
finding 1t even better than they expected.
McVey and Woods were called in for forty
minutes work, which terminated the day $

Like Unto His Father.

The Norfolk Ledger has the following
to say of Rev. Eldridge Il. Hatcher's
meetings for boys that he has In his old
church every Saturday at noon:
The Saturday gatherings Of boys In
Norfolk for moral training Is certainly
a movement worthy OF all commentator.
1t Is very evident TO US that the best
time for all ethical work is in the forma-
tive period of ones life, and 1t is a hopeful
sign OF the times that such helpful inte-
rest in the future Of these little people Is
being manifested. The same amount or
interest manifested in them ten years
hence could bear no comparison TO the
effect It must needs have upon them at
this time If all of the great moral ques-
tions were dealt with when those to be
helped are in a plastic state the results
would be vastly different and we are
more than pleased to note that In many
directions this fact is being recognized
Ii is but another illustration Of the old
adage that an ounce of prevention Is
worth pound Of cure. Who can estimate
the harvest to come from this weekly
broadcasting OF the seed OF good life
purposes among the boys of Norfolk?
Saturday is a day when they are not
occupied. and when the trend with them
is. generally speaking, not upward. We
are of the opinion, therefore, tnat gooa
cannot fail of accomplishment of these
rallies of the boys to listen to whole
some talks and suggestions as to the
best methods Of equipping themselves for
the great battle Of life. Rev. Mr..
Hatcher who has inaugurated these
meetings, and his colaborers in such a
worthy effort, certainly deserve to have
their hands held up. for the possibilities
of the work they have undertaken are
fncalculable

FIFTEEN YEARS IN PRISON.
Has Never Had New Trial Granted
Him by Supreme Court

SAVANNAH, GA, February 20.-It has
Just come to light here that negro
named Major Lee, who has served fifteen
years in the Georgia penitentlary on
conviction Of murder, has never had a
new trial, which was granted him by the
Supreme Court, on the ground that he
is not guilty under the evidence that was
submitted in the case. Lee was convicted
in 1881, and the verdict was contrary TO
the law and the evidence. In the mean
time. Lee was sent to the penitentiary,
is there to-day and has never had his
new trial. When sent up he was little
14-year-old- boy. He is now big, bury
negro OF 80. Solictor-General Osborne,
of the Eastern judicial Court, who has
Just come into office, took Lees case
up, and has insisted on its being dis
posed of.
Lee was charged with the murder Of
Ebert Lee. a white man. but there was
nothing but circumstantial evidence. and
a very little of that, against him. Judge
r. Falligant, now on the Superior-Court
Bench. defended him. on which account a
Judge from an adjoining circuit will be
called down TO try the case, should there
be an attempt to try it. which is not
probable.

BURIED IN GREAT STATE.
Funeral of the Downger Empress of
Japan.

SAN FRANCTfCO. February 2o.-ori-
entail advices per steamship China state
that the remains Of the late Dowager
Empress of Japan were buried in great
state at Kyolo. Considerable difficulty was
found in making the proper arrangements
for transporting the body TO kyolo. An
cient custom required that three oxen,
harnessed one after the other, should draw
the funeral-car. The one between the
shafts must have black and white spots
on the body, a white star on the forehead,
and white stockings on all four legs. qhe
one Immediately in front Of the shafts
must have a dun skin, with black hecks'
and the leader must be pure black. Much
search was required TO find the nrst OF
these three, but at last he was discovered
at a remote place in the country, and the
funeral arrangements were then carried
out. An ancient law provides Imperative
Nv that the oxen drawing the funeral-car
OF one of the royal family must be marked
in the manner described.
