ABOUT BOXING LAWS.
They should BE Unifor,nly Enforced or
Totally Disregarded.

The law regulating licking is one Of
the llcHt unl ~ aicsas lents that can
lie r..Atcd cu.t IN sporting matters Tie
LAYS should either let boxing so on or it
shJu-d Lot. THIS is Lot the case at pres
eat fer we have III the same state box
iiig contests allowed at one town or
place While obey are strictly prohibited
at others. Take Ohio, for instance. Not
Icng ago there were two or three young
mon sent to prison for taking part in Il
hoElng contest, and yet III other parts
Of Ohio there are bcXing contests taking
place and being arranged every day.
Now, this is unfair ana shows that some
OF the law guardians are not DOING
their duty. Everybody should he made
alike, and II boxers can meet at Dayton
or any otlIcrp place i'll the state then they
should lie allowed to contest at any other
town. Officials who do not do their duty
il this respect should be exposed ana
dep5sed.
And we also have a very unequal
state of things in PENNSYLVANIA. At
Philadelphia there are professional con-
tests every week, and these contests are

not doing his duty, and that is all there
is about it. Ii the law forbids profes-

THE GOLD MINES
Of Georgia and Alabama Being Rapidly
 Developed-Mammoth Gold Mining Company Applies for Incor- I poraton.

Atlanta, Ga, March 6.-Application was made here today for the incorporation of the Georgia British Gold Mining com pany, limited, of London. This compa- my has options on 100000 acres of mineral lands in North Georgia. It was chartered in London last November with a capital of one million pounds. Captain Eugene I Mayne, the managing director is here making first payments.
 A great many western miners have come into the field the last few months and gold mines are being rapidly opened up. Denver parties are here figuring on the erection of a smelter with a capacity of 800 tons a day.
 Frank Weldon, of Atlanta, representing a Georgia and Western syndica te. has secured control of several thousand acres of gold lands Ons, tract adjoining the famous Creighton, has two miles of the mother vein of that mine which is down 500 feet, working on $30 ore.
 The Royal is taking out s60 ore at depth of 125 feet. There is marked ac- tivity all over the field which is more than 100 miles long and twenty-five miles wide in Georgia, Over in Alabama there is considerable activity.
 It is only within the last two years that cheap processes have been found flor successful treatment of these sul- phuret ores.

 recent biographical sketch of the late Joseph G. Baldwin, in the Opelika, tAla.) Post from the pen of s. S. Scott. embraces glowing tribute to a man whom the West Alabamian and the peo- pie of Pickens county delight to honor the man whose name appears at the cap- tion of this article, Col NJ. l.. Stansel The matter in question is as follows:
 There are a few old lawyers still left in West Alabama, who praoteed at the bar with Joseph c. Baldwin and vino enjoyed with him intimate social rela- tions. ITO hear them talk of the man is treat-'a repast fit for gods Notably among these is Gel. M. L. Stansel, of Pickens. ts,r.'
 I cannot mention the name of this gen. Htleman here, whom I have known since 1857, and with whom I have served so frequently in public 'assemblages, with out stopping to say a word or two about him. Col. Stansel lives at Carrollton in Pickens county, and has lived there or in the vicinity for nearly sixty-five years-having been only a bout 8 years of age when his father removed to the county from Georgia. He is not what is called brilliant man. he is something better-a sound man. His mind is clear logical and vigorous, and his heart is alive to every generous and unselfish im- pulse. sF-s'.ss
 Pickens county knows the valuk of the man and his services, and has shown her appreciation of both by thrusting upon him office after office, frecuently in the face of his earnest protest. And there is no weakening in the favor of that county of Col. M. l.. Stansel-no abatement in the vigor and number of her calls upon him for service-because of his age. Understanding that experf- ence as we'll as worth is desirable in a public servant, and that old. age. unac- companied by mental or physical decay ic thn rx,ft is rather an advantage than otherwise in such servant. that county has him in office now. and will no doubt keep him in office as long as he will permit it.

 TO MEET IN EXTRA SESSION To Receive Such Communications as May Be
 Made by the Executive-MaY
 Be Short Session.
MEET IN EXTRA SESSION

Washington, March 6.-President Me- Kinley's first official proclamation was issued this afternoon, with the attesta- tion of the new secretary of state, John Sherman. It reads as follows;
 By the President of the United States of America.
 A PROCLAMATION
 Whereas public interest requires that the congress of the United States, should be convened in extra session at F o'clock on the 10th day of March, 1897. to receive such communications as may be made by the executive. Now, therefore, I, William Mckinley. President of the United States of Amer ica, do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires the congress of the United States to convene in extra session at the capitol in the city of Washingon on the 15h day of March, 1S97 at 12 o'clock noon, of which all per- sons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members thereof, are hereby re- Quired to take notice.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at Washington, the 9th day of March in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety seven, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twen- ty-frst. WILLIAM M'kINLEY,
 HTeSIuS0l. JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary of State. The limiting clause restricting the ac- ton of the extra. session to such con- munication as may be made by the ex- ecutive," suggests that possibly the pres- dent may limit the objects of the extra session to the passage of the unacted up on appropriation bills, and the enactment of tariff law, the objects of which in the words of McKinley's inaugural address, will be ito stop deficiencies by the re- storaton of that protective legislation which has always been the finest"
 President Cleveland, when he called an extra session for the repeal of the Sherman silver purchasing law, prac- tically limited the session to that one ob- ject.

 [ Many doctors say that consumption IS incurable. They are mistaken and thou- sands who have been rescued from the brink of death, after they were given up by the doctors. and all hope was gone, have testified to the fact over their written sigma lures.

DRIFTED FOR SIX YEARS.
The RcmarkabIe Career of the Derelic
 Schooner Wyer G. Sargent.

The RcmarkabIe Career of the Derelic
 Schooner Wyer G. Sargent
 Chicago Chronicle.
 After a career unparalleled in the his- tory of maritime affairs, the derelict schooner Wyer q. Sargent, abandoned at sea March 31. 1891. in latitude 34.42 longi- tude 7440. while bound for Philadelphia, with a cargo of lum ber-her crew being rescued by the schooner H. r. Thomp- son-after battling with the storm of the Atlantic for nearly six years has drifted ashore on the.uninhabited island of Con- ception, one of the most dangerous of the Bahamas, and there will end her days. She is shattered and covered with barnacles.- Her scarEo of lumber, long ago has been -emptfed into the sea through her capslzing, but her stout hull is still held together as firmly as the day on which she was launched at Sedgwick,z Me, in 1881.
 The most refnarRa ble, career just ended has for years past .attracted the atten- ton of shipping men all.lover the world, as her cratic courses about the Atlantic were for months most accurately plotted cn the pilot charts issued by the hydrogra phics department at Washing ton. Her drift was indeed more singular than that of the old schooner W.L. White, which, although abandoned in the same locality, drifted ashore ten minutes after ward at Hebrides islands, off the north west coast of Scotland.
 The sargent, in about three months from the date of her aba ndonment, reached the center of the North Atlantic Here she drifted about in a most peculiar and cratic manner for some time until October 12, 1892, when she got into the Sargasso sea, and experienced shfpmas- teas do not doubt that in this sea she re mained until carried out of its influence by unusually fierce easterly gales the last winter.
 The theory is that the Sargent, after being freed from the Sargasso sea, came down to the southwardr and westward with the trade winds and currents, as did several other derelicts

Canea, March 6.-Col. Vassos has inti- mated to the admirals of the foreign ships that he will secure liberation of all the Mussulmans captured by the in- surgents on condition that the prisoners abandon their arms and take no fur ther part in the fighting.
 The foreign admirals have, 1t is be- lieved, taken another step in behalf of the Turks, and fuel has thereby been added to the indignation of the Chris tians. Orders have been issued for the British warships Rodney and Camper down. a Russian warship. and the French worship Chansey to land 800 men to escort Sir Alfred Elliott. the Brit ish consul here, to Kandamos whither he proceeds with the ostensible object of securing besieged Moslems. The con- sul is on board the Rodney. It is thought that the real object in landing the for eign force is to compel the insurgents to raise the siege of Kandamos, if nec- eSSary.
 Kandamos is among the mountains, seven miles It is reliably stated that there are 5000 Mussulmens in the town, and that their situation is very grave. The insurgents guns are destroying the fort works which the Turks are gallant ly defending, A number of the com batants on both sides have been killed including some of the leaders.
 The 500 foreign sailors and marines have been landed and will start at once for the town.
