Honors About Even.

Philadelphia, June 14.-Joe Walcott,
the Boston colored boy and Tom Ira
cey, of Australias were the star attrac-
tons at the arena tonight and fought
six lively rounds. Throughout the bout
the colored boy was the aggressor and
succeeded in landing his favorite swings
on the body and neck a number of times.
Clinches were frequent all through the
fight, but in the break away both men
fought clean. In the third round Wal
colt landed heavy left on Toms wind
and sent him 10 the floor, but Tracey
was on his feet a moment afterwards.
The fourth round ended with hOnors
even. and in the fifth after a rafting
hot exchange of glows, both men fell
to the floor together.
The last round ended after several
clinehes and light exchange, followed
by Walcctt pushing Tracey hard, the

SUMTER'S OLD FLAG.

Washington. June 1O.-Hidden away
in the vault of safe deposit company
is memento OF that struggle of so odd
years ago, which no wearer of the blue
or gray could look upon without pc
culiar emotions.
This flag flew high in the air over
the battlements of Fort Sumter on
that eventful morning of April r. 1861.
when the newly organized confederate
forces began the bombardment which
started the greatest conflict of modern
times. There were two garrison flags
in the fort; one was the fine weather
flag and the other the stormy weather
flag. Like the chaos in mems hearts
the elements threatened on that his
toric day. so the storm flag was run up
and in short time became the target of
the confederate shot.
Before that it was not a fine flag. be-
ing made of coarse meshed, strong
bunting, tough enough to withstand
the flashing of the winds of the coast.

by Hawaiians in this city is to the effect
that the japanese at any time may take
some action looking to acquisition of the
island. The advices officially received here
are of much the same tenor. The senti-
ment in the senate seems to be that
Japan in no way should control the
islands or get a foothold there This ar
gunaent has been used to prevent even
notice of abrogation of the present treaty
in the tariff bill. 1t is said that such no
tice might be followed by japanese occu-
patton and the islands not be regained by
the United States without struggle. In
tt.s connection It is learned that the
conversations among the most prominent
Japanese residents of Hawaii which have
been reported to the representatives of
the islands in Washington have been of
a threatening character and that the
American residents have more concern
than has been shown in the published
accounts
