MAILS or The WORLD.
Opening of the Universal Postal
Congress in Washington.
SIXTY COUNTRIES ARE REPRESENTED.
The Hall OF the Old Corcoran Art Gal
lery Resplendant with Court Co.'S
tunes and Glittering Insignia
of the Foreign Delegates.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Uni.
VersaI Postal congress met in the great
nall of the old Corcoran art gallery.
About sixty countries, comprising most
OF those in the postal union, were rep
resented. Korea, China aud the Orange
Free State, which are now outside the
pale OF the union, had delegates present.
1t is expected that the work of the
congress will extend over about six
weeks. Most of the work will be
transacted by committees, which will
submit the results of their labors to
the congress about once a week.
The present postal agreement will
be revised and renewed. Sew
eral important questions will be
considered. among them a proposition
to transmit the official mail of the
countries which are members of the
union free of charge, the question of
increasing the unit of weight to be
carried under five-cent stamp from
one-half ounce to three-fourths of
an ounce, and also proposition for
universal stamp. The hall presen-
ted a brilliant appearance when Gen.
Batcheller, the premier delegate of the
United States, called the congress to
order at IL o'clock. The delegates were
attired in dress suits, or full court
costume, their breasts bespangled with
glitterlng insignia and enameled or
ders. The oriental delegates were very
picturesque in their flowing silken
robes. The Korean wore his box-like
headgear, and the Turk his red fez.
The decorations of the hall were law
ish. The walls were rich with gor-
geous tapestries and shone with coats of
arms. The prevailing colors were gold
and crimson. The sessions of the con-
gress were held behind closed doors.
Postmaster-General Gary, Assistant
Postmaster General Heath, Gen. Batch
eller and Capt. Brooks did the honors.
Postmaster-GeneralG Gary delivered the
addresso of welcome.

TIE GORILLA Wins.
Black Joe WalcOtt Punches George
Green Into RepOSe.
Tom O'Rourke's Wonder from the
Isle of Barbados Settles the Cali
fornia Welter Weight in Eighteen
Rounds-The Loser Fought Poor
~ Throughout the Combat.

San Francisco, August 27.-Joe Wal
colt knocked out George Green in the
eighteenth round last night after one
of the fastest fights ever seen in San
Francisco. 1t was rather one sided
however, Walcott leading in every
round with perhaps the exception OF the
second and twelfth.
Green showed none of his old-time
dash and vim, and seemed to be utterly
at sea at meeting and guarding against
the sturdy little colored mans rushes.
Green is essentially a body fighter,
but last night he did not land half
a dozen good body punches during the
entire Is rounds. Walcott took his
opponents light IeIL nanu JaDs with
smiles and paid him back with right
cross counters on the head and jaw.
Green fought against time after the
sixth round. Several times after he
wc3 groggy and hung TO the colored
man in the clinches.
The 18th opened up about the same
as the half dozen preceding rounds.
After about a minutes fighting Wal
colt landed right and left on Green s
jaw and clinch followed. In the
break Walcott brought his right
across and knocked Green up against
the ropes in Walcott's corner help
less, with his hands down. With a
we'll directed right hand blow on the
jaw Walcott knocked the Californian
through the ropes into the negro's
corner. Tom O'Rourke held Green up
with his foot on the ring platform un-
til he was taken out. Green was car
ried to his dressing room by his sec
onds.
From the first to the sixth rounds
the fighting was fast and furious, Wal
colt rushing and Green avoiding his
blows and occasionally putting in a
baby blow or a jab in the face with his
left. No damage to either had been
done when the sixth round opened.

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.

.rrdco CofT Makes No Pretense That Any
law Was Violated or That There Was
ANY uTcnse Not Within Reach of the
Local Courts.
Parkersburg Sentinel
The Sunday Register prints the full
text Of Judge COTS opinion in SEN
fencing the Montana strikers 20 jail
for contempt. We have reed it with
care and fail to discover that he pre-
tends anywhere in his op:a.Dr that any
crime was committed, that there we're
any breaches of the peace, or that the
law was defed, or that there was re-
sistance to the officers, or that anything
else was done. or pretended, or intend
ed. to be done that was beyond the jur-
isdiction of the local peace officers 10
prevent, control or punish. But he
does find that the conduct of the
strikers was intended TO intimidate
those who were at work, and to induce
them through fear to abandon their
Jobs and join the strikers. Such con-
duct. Judge Goff held, was in contempt
of the order Of the court, and dis
obedience Of its writ of injunction.
In this case there is no pretense that
the local authorities were not album
dainty able and willing to arrest ana
punish every violator of the law, if
asked to do it. There is no pretense
that the sheriff. or any other official
was requested to dispense the striking
miners. or TO command them to desist
from their intimidating marching or
camping. There is no pretense that the
ordinary processes of law from the To-
cal courts would not have been just
as capable as were the extraordinary
processes Of the Federal court And
therein lies the wrong of it. These
strikers were, so far as anything in
the record is disclosed. punished as
criminals. though they had committed
no crime. They had not committed
/ a penal oTense, but they were subjected
to a penalty. They were imprisoned as
lawbreakers. though they had violated
no law.
It is the creation Of artificial crimes
by the judiciary, with punishment for
them subject to the caprice Of a judge,
that has aroused such great opposition
to government by injunction.

ment of fairness calls for better wages
to the coal miners. Republican sue
cess at the polls last fall was declared
to be merely condition precedent to
a higher tariff, and higher tariff, the
Republicans and their allies said,
meant better wages to the workers.
The political success and the higher
tariff have come. Where are the high
er wages? We contend that the de-
mand for better wages is founded upon
claims the righteousness of which can
not be disputed, and so long as they
pursue their demand in a peaceful and
lawful manner, they are entitled to
support. That is the position of the

BETROTHED BEFORE BIRTH.
\ Curious Compact Recalled Bya Farmers
Assignment.

Canal Dover, Pa, August ~
Henry Renkert, accounted one of the
most prosperous farmers in this coun-
ty, has made an assignment in favor
of Valentine Wentz, who holds mort
cages against him of about $4,000. Mr..
Renkert's liabilities will aggregate
something like $4,000, and his valua-
BILE farm, a portion of which was made
a recent addition to the city, will more
than pay off his Indebtedness.
This failure calls to mind a singular
compact. Jacob Renkert and Jacob
Spahlinger, friends from boyhood,
were both married here long ago, both
on the same day. It was agreed that
their first born, if they were boy and
girl, should marry. A daughter, Tina,
was born to Spahlinger, and a boy,
Henry. TO Renkert. The children took
a liking to one another. They were
perfectly satisfied with the arrange
ments made for their union before
they were born and were married.
