1T is surprising what lot Of fake
yarns are now being told about the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight. Now it
is reported that Fitz fouled Corbett
by striking him on the jaw while
the latter was down from the blow
under the heart. This is nonsense.
The kenitoscope may show some
such a position, but the blow Cor
bett got on the jaw hardly touched
him, and if his head went back it
was from paroxysm of agony
from the blow under the heart.
The machine cannot show the force
of blows nor very minute space
between the fist and body. What
ever the pictures show no unpreju-
diced man who saw the fight will
claim it was anything but fair.

PRESIDENT Mckinley, Secretary
Long and Judge Day, Assistant
Secretary Of State, devoted two
hours Thursday to hearing special
report on the Cuban situation by
Edwin t. Atkyns of Boston, who
has extensive sugar plantations in
Cuba and who just returned from
the Island. Atkyns' representations
favored the insurgents. During the
early part of the war he took the
pro-Spanish side of the controversy,
but he is now convinced that the
interests of Cuba demands the VIC
tory of the insurgents. The report
was based on the future of Ameri-
can interests in Cuba. On this re-
port and on that of Calhoun, who
is now in Havana, will depend the
future course of the Administration.

the good you can possibly derive from them.

Mrs TIENEY domestic, working
for Searles the New York sugar
king, was obliged to sue her en-
ployer to get her wages. She re-
covered the full amount 1877 with
interest. This covered the house
keepers wages and board for four
months. The plaintiff alleged that
she was working as housekeeper
under a contract and that Searles
discharged her without due cause.
She said that Searles found fault
with her for feeding the servants too
we'll and ordered her to feed them
on stewed meat. Searles belongs to
that class who fatten under high
tariff, and fears that the working
people will be too we'll fed.

New York, May CT would not give
one woman Tor $40 men, said Miss Ter
esa Barcalow, with magnificent scOrh,
and the seventy or more OF the mal.5n-
ed sex who stood about her yesterday
morning in an excited group on Ihlrty-
fourth street, near Broadway, accepted
the rebuke with due HUMILITY.
1t was just after 10 a. III. that MISS
BarcaloW left her home to attend the
meeting of the Woman's Health Pro-
tective Association. She was going her
way in leisurely fashion when her at
tention was attracted by crowd form
ing at the corner. She fastened her
steps as the circle became wider and
wider. and she neared the spot cries be-
came audible. Visions Of accidents hit
ted through her mind. She was almost
running when the words became dis
tingushable:
That's right; give it to him, Bill,
shouted a deep voice-"under the chin
that will knock him out
Upon Miss Barcalow's Mortified gaze
dawned the spectacle Of a savage night
which had reached the CORY stage. IN
the centre Of the ring were TWO Doys OF
sixteen locked in far from brotherly
embrace. AS one cOmbatant rose 10
the surface he displayed a swollen eye,
while a copious flow of blood from the
nose painted his antagonists yisage a
warlike hue.
With Miss Barcalow to see was TO act.
With a sweep Of her hands she thrust
aside the men who stood between and
dashed into the centre of the ring. Her
right hand was unglOved. She seized
the bloodstained youth by the collar,
and with one wrench dragged him from
his opponent. Then, still holding him,
she threw herself between the boys,
crying breathlessly:
Aren't you ashamed Of yourselves!
Standing here and trying to maize
mincemeat of each other. Lock at your
faces-all torn to pieces!"
By this time the youths had recovered
from the momentary surprise and were
painting to renew hostilities. But Miss
Barcalows courage was not of the Ell
fervescent sort. Don't you dare.

Then, still holding her captive, she
demanded: where do you belong?'
In that milk wagon replied the
culprit, meekly.
Get in them" ordered the forceful
peacemaker
Il won't. Tother chaps got my
whip" -
The whip was secured and then this
unexpected victor invited the milk boy
to take the option of driving off alone
or accompany her to the police station.
I'm a capital driver, and mean what
7 saw" was the warning that sent him
away in hot haste.
After rejecting the dilatory police
mans advances, she turned upon the
crowd: "And you call yourselves men

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Munro Sal
isbury. the well known horseman, has
been declared iEsolvent by the Superior
court OF Alameda county. The chief
movers against Salisbury are the Bank
of Pleasanton. the Chadburn Warehouse
co. II. Arndt & Co.. and others holding
claims aggregating 5000. The real battle
is over the affairs of the Pleasanton
stock farm. which these creditors, repre-
scented by Attorney John Stewart Oh oak
land maintain is dummy" corporation
and is being used by Salisbury TO concoct
his assets. There is pending in the courts
"a suit of julius &. Refs, a San Francisco
capitalist. to recover $4,000 from the stock
farm on a mortgage given as security
for loan made 10 Salisbury by kels'
The Alameda county creditors have at
tackled the validity OF this mortgage,
claiming that il is a sham. They declare
that the corporation had 10 right TO give
il and that il should be annuned. During
the taking of dispositions in the matter MI.
Refs made affidavit that the mortgage was
given as security for a debt Salisbury
had contracted. The creditors say that

the turfman in his preparations TO go
East. Some question has been raised as
TO the ownership of number Of horses
now in the Salisbury string at Pleasanton
and these will have to be settled before the
horses can be taken from the State. The
ground upon which the creditors sought
10 force Salisbury into insolvency was that
he had allowed his property to remain I'M
der attachment more than thirty days,
and that he mad suspended payment.
Friends of Mr. Salisbury claim that his
embarrassment will be only temporary.
He is the owner Of valuable mining prop
erty in this State, Nevada and Utah. For
a year he has been giving considerable at

The Farmers Voice Says There Is No
Agricultural Trust.

The Farmers Voice says lnere Is NJ
Agricultural Trust.
CHICAGO. May 6.-The Farmers Voice
saws to-day: Newspapers all over the
country have been publishing an utterly
foundationless story TO the effect that the
farmers were forming a gigantic trust in
the nature Of an oath bound organization,
whose object. it was alleged, was to con-
troll the production and distribution OF all
agricultural products. The scene Of the
earlier operations of this mysterious COM
bine was laid in New Jersey, where the
.agriculturists protective association had
been duly incorporated. Many of the lead
ing farmers of the country have written
the Voice emphatically asserting entire
Ignorance Of such trust. and Indignantly
protesting against the proposed combine
and its purposes. The Secretary of State
Of New Jersey. in response TO an inquiry
said: I have examined the records of this
Office. and do not find any corporation
organized under the laws of this State by
the name of the "Agriculturists Protective
Association"
This is convincing enough, and 1t may
be added that there is no possibility of
such a trust I'm the future. for while there
are farmers who would have no hesitancy
in going into such a combination, the
great mass Of the American agriculturists
are utterly opposed TO trusts and COM
bines. believing that the law Of supply
and demand If left to do its perfect work,
will result in justice to all"
