The free trade doctrine that reduc
ton of tariff would, by stimulating the
mportations, increase custom re-
ceipts, has proven an absolute falsity
under the Wilson law, which fell s37,

first thirty three months, comparing
those months with the corresponding
period of the Mckinley law.

There is no step backward in bust
mer quiet is near, says Dun's Reriem.
Improvement continues, gradual and
prudently cautious as before, al
though in many branches evident
where no signs of it appeared few
weeks ago. Business men of the high
est standing in all parts of the coun
try, having gradually perceived that
the tide has begun to rise, are regu-
latiDg their contracts and invest
ments and their plans for the future
with confidence quite unknown to
them short time ago. Great changes
before the adjournment OF Congress
are hardly to be expected, but re-
moval of uncertainty is with reason
expected to bring into operation buy
ing forces which have been restricted
for months. Meanwhile it is encour-
aging that crop prospects still grow
brighter, that the industries meet a
gradually increasing demand for pro-
ducts, that labor questions which had
threatening aspect have been adj
justed, and that the treasury MAIN
tains its ample strength notwithstand-
ing some exports of gold brought
about by premiums paid on behalf of
foreign governments.

nexation of Hawaii, reform of the
currency, and better state of affairs
in Cuba. The protective tariff pledge
is now so nearly carried out that there
is good reason to believe that the bill
will be upon the statute books early
in July; a currency commission which
shall devise plans for the reform of
the currency system is to be recon-
mended to Congress, and the prop
osition will doubtless meet with favor

Would 1t make any difference If the

MORRISEY OUTCLASSED.
A Whirlwind Boxing Bout at the
COmique Last Night.
Jim Flynn of Texas.
One round and a half.


One round and a half
Whoever Jim Flynn of Texas may be,
he is "a dandy" with the mittens.
1t took him just one round and half
to put Jimmy Morrsey, the clever well
ter-weight boxer, to sleep last night at
Browns Theater Comique. 1t was to
have been a ten round affair, but came
very near lacking nine rounds of that
number.
To be sure, Flynn had the advantage
in hight, weight and reach, but nobody
thought he was such a cyclone boxer
that he could dispose of his clever and
plucky adversary in so short a time, if
at all
There was good big crowd present to
witness the mill, and though their sym
pathies were with Morrisey, because
they knew him, the victor received the
applause he SO fairly won. William
Brown was chosen for referee.
Time had scarcely been called when
Flynn made rush and swung his right
with terrific force on Morriseys face,
sending him to the floor. Morrisey was
up in a moment. but the Texan rusher
soon caught him with another smash,
and from that on to the end of the round
down several times before F'lynn's heavy
blows, but gathered himself each time
and fought back pluckily. Once he got

Flynn's head in chancery and uppercut
him a half-dozen times before he could
get away, but he could not put force
enough into his blows to do much harm
to the big fellow.
When the second round opened Flynn
ran across the ring and went at Nor
risey in hammers and-tongs style, and
for about a half-minute there was some
lively infighting, but all at once Nor
risey received a whack that sent him
down, and before he had got steadied
on his feet F'lynn's left caught him on
the jaw and he went down again and
was counted out.
1t was a hurricane bout while it lasted,
but no blood was shed. Morrisey was
simply outclassed and did not know that
he was up against a Texas cyclone.
AS the crowd emerged from the thea
ter the remark was frequently heard
that Flynn was capable of giving Van
BuSkirk the fight of his life

be the restoration of flogging in the

Senator Turpie Cd of Indiana re-
sumed and brought to a conclusion the
speech begun by him on Monday in
favor of the recognition of Cuban in
dependence. He did not, as was ex-
pected, attempt to pillory Secretary
Olney for denying the right of Con-
gress to recognize a new Government
or new nation, but confined himself
to the argument that Spain had failed
and would fail to suppress the insur-
rection, and that it was the right and
the duty of Congress to recognize the
independence of Cuba.
Between the close of Turpie's speech
and the close of the morning hour there
was a period Of some forty minutes
which was utilized by Chandler R)
of New Hampshire in getting consider
alton for his bill for a commission to an
international monetary conference.

dietary Committee, presented a report
