CANADA's DEPDNDENCE--rhs visit
/ Of Premier LAnrter and bic assc-
ciatea to Warrington will without
doubt AFFORD to our distinguished Cana
dian friends great deal of pleasure.
They have been received. and will con-
tinue to be entertained with the unstinted
hospitality due to themselves a. eminent
gentlemen. to their country. which is 20
closeiy connected with ours BY many
friendly ties. TO our own National
dignity. Any suggestions which they
may have to make regarding topics OF
mutual concern, whether the seal fish
cries, the herring and cod fisheries. the
Weiiand canal, the navigation Of the
great lakes, international copyright, or
any other. will receive petite attention.
But in spite Of all efforts at avoiding
embarrassment to our guests by evadiny
and ignoring the fact. the fact Will OBJ
trude itself that the Dominion Of Canada
Is not an independent nation. and there
fore Is not In position to negotiate or
International disputes. However hard
President Mckinley and Secretary sher-
man may try to treat Premier Laurier
and his associates as official EQUALS, the
endeavor can meet but with imperfect
success. To suppose that the disting-
ushed head Of the Canadian govern
ment will not return to Ottawa from
Washington with feeling Of humiliation
In his heart on this account and with SEN
timents Of desire for national independ-
ence lurking there, no matter how care
fully he may try 10 conceal them, would
be to suppose that he Is more or less than
human.

each man firmly intrenched in his posi-
ton. while Dan Stuart sat listening, his
hair turning gray es he saw all the
chances Of the great fight ending in a
miserable row over a technicality in the
rules. Siler took part in the argument,
and he and Julian went over the same
ground that Brady and Julian had trav-
eled before. Over and over 1t they went,
going always in a circle and winding up

Julian insisting that hitting with one

big fight being pulled OF, was held yes
terday between Martin Julian, repre-
senting Fitzsimmons, and William A.
Brady. for Corbett. over the construc-
ton put on the Marquis of Queens
berry rules, and the end was that
Julian, after objecting strenuously to
the right of the referee to make any
ruling whatever before the men entered
the ring, and against the hitting with
one arm free and in break-aways. gave
way entirely and consented that the
men should hit with the one free arm
and on the break-aways. The fight
will. therefore, be fought in accordance
with the Interpretation of Marquis Of
Queensberry rules made by Referee
Siler. 1t was at times a stormy con-
ference, and time and again the smash
up was perliously near; and time and
again 1t was only averted by the most
narrow margins.
Julian Argues Against the Rule.
Brady at the outset took the stand
that Corbett was willing to abide by
the decision of the referee. no matter
what the decision might be. The cham
pion. he said, was willing to fight just
as Siler said. Julian, on the other hand.
maintained that there was no right
vested in the referee to make any rul-
Ing whatever until the men were ready
to fight. He claimed that Fitzsimmons
had always fought "a good. fair, square
hght." and in all his fights the hitting
has been both arms free, and that all
the bfeak-aways should be clean. Cor
bett. he said. had won the cham
pionship OF the world in a fight con-
Quoted under such conditions, and meth
DDS which were good enough to win
the championship were good enough to
defend 1t.
Where Brady Had Julian.
"Fftzsimmons, I say frankly" said
Julian, 'is not experienced in hitting
with one arm free. He has always met
his battles fairly, and he wants to fight
this fairly. We cannot give in on this
proposition, and II Corbett will not
agree to fight with clean break-aways
we are willing to fight him under the
rules OF the London prize ring"
That is a good thing" broke in
Brady. You say Fitzsimmons is not
accustomed to fighting in anything but
the most open fashion, and yet he is
willing to fight under the London prize
ring rules. which allow wrestling, hit
ting with one arm free. biting, gouging
and heaven knows what. II he is not
willing to fight with one arm free, 1t Is
queer that he should be willing to fight
under rules which allow that and a
great deal Of the same kind that is
worse"
