James H. Rush, who lowered the cOlors
of Bernard " efers at Madison Square
Garden on Saturday night, is the hero OF
the hour among amateur athletes. His
home IL Grinnell, Iowa, but at present he
is a student at Princeton. This is the
to lower the Champions colors. His first
visit was in August last, when he was n
member of the Chicago Athletic Club
team, which aspired to carry off every
thing in sight in the national champion
ships Then, however, he was over
shadowed 10y q II. Maybury, who was
tipped y Trainer Stone as the sw iftest
thing in a human way y.that ever came out
of the West. Maybury had performed In
a phenomenal manner at the Coliseum In
Chicago. aud In college games at other
points. lie was creGited with a record OF
8 s-5 seconds for hundred yards, and
81 c-5 seccnds for 220 yards around a
turn. wefers read OF his achievements.
and, IL rs said, becaine duly concerned
Rush played second fiddle TO Star" May
bury.
But the day of the games there was
another story to tell. In the final heat
of the 30 yards Bernie Wefers had To
strain every muscle, fight every inch
of the way, and won only by four feet.
Nearest behind Inn and on even terms
We're Mayhury and Rush. The struggle
between the westerners was superb, and
the spectators went into ecstasies over
such b-autifu:work. Moreover, they thought
they saw Rush finish ahead of Maybury,
and TIE decision was wildly hissed.
Then and there Rush was hailed as a
Conner" If wefers was to be defeated,
the spectators n nd judges believed the young
Iowan was to do the work. His moveme.,t ITS
We're as graceful as those of a deer, his 81 1t
was like unto that, of a gamecock, and he
was blessed with 4 marvellous flight uf
speed. @
Next came the New York Athletic Club
games at Travers Island. Rush and Mag
bury, together witfIthe rest ofthe West .rn
contingent, were On hand again, but the
task of lowering the colors OF the great and
only Wefrrs was not accomplished. stone
still expected Maybury to do the .'ick.
He believed in Rush, tut he thought 4 little
mere of the Wisconsin boy.
Rush's victory at Madison Square Gar
den mist have been most gratif yin. to
him, though he bears his honors modestiy.
1t seems TO be the judgment of athletic
experts that there was no fluke. about :he
, Westerner's victories. 1t is conceded by
them that he simply outclassed wefers, and
that he deSer -es every bit of credit his
friends claim for him.

Over Half of the Inhabitants of Bonn

Over half the population of Bombay,
estimated to amount to about 100000, has
fled from the plague, and the erstwhie
crowded streets, docks and bazaars are
not recognizable. Business in piece goods
crockery and hardware is at standstill,
and the money lenders have vanished
The courts are deserted and the judges
and officials have gone to healthier
cline. Many of the native doctors, grad
uates of the college, have fled, and those
remaining refuse to attend plague cases
or, when they do attend them, will not
touch the sufferers, drcading contagion.
Clerks and others whose vocations call
them to the city daily have removed te
suburban stations, where the people are
mostly living in thatched huts. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 persons are encamp'
ed at Andheri, from whence they will
soon be forced to migrate owing to the
lack of water ard sanitation, threatening
to breed cholera. The cemeteries are
already filled to overfowing, and the wind
is spreading the contagion. The nights

PROTECTION AND BOUNTlES.

The logical result of Il policy of dl-
rect tariff protection, instead of one
which frames Il tariff for revenue pur-
poses. while not discriminating against
home products protected incidentally
by the tariff levied for revenue, was
seen in the demands made upon the
ways and means committee at yester-
days hearings.
Hitherto the manufacturers had their
innings, and with hardly an exception
they wanted higher duties upon articles
coming into competition with them,
while looking with disfavor upon any
increase of duties on the raw materials
of their manufactures. The producers
of raw materials, however, made it
