The Lightweight Champion Finds
owen Dead Easy Game.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 11.-"Kid"
Lavigne the light weight champion of
the world. and Owen Ziegler fought six
rounds today in the arena of the Quaker
City Athletic club. Lavisne had all the
best of the bout and it looked as though
he could have put the Philadelphian to
sleep in the first round. Before they had
SPARED one minute Lavigne feinted
with his right and Ziegler attempted to
duck; the kid brought his left around
with terrific force, landing equarely on
Zieglers chin.
In the other five rounds Lavigne land
ed almost at will, Ziegler, who was grog-
gy towards the end, being apparently
content to stay outside the swings
Ziegler weighed fifteen pounds more
than Lavigne but was not in the best
condition.

GOV. ALTGELD'S FAREWELL
Must Be Made Public Through the
Newspapers
The Retiring Governor of Illinois Sub
jected to Painful Snub, and DEM
ocrats Are Justly Indignant

SPRINGFIELD. Ill. Jan. 1.-THE in
auguration of Governor Tanner today
developed a sensation, at the close of
the state house ceremony, when the re-
tiring governor John P. Altgeld, was not
permitted to deliver the farewell ad-
dress, which has been one of the features
of the previous inaugurations in Illinois.
Governor Altgeld had prepared his
speech, it had been given place on the
prfnted programs and much interest had
centered in its anticipated delivery. The
snub was made the more painful to the
ex-governor and his friends from the
fact that Mrs. Altgeld occupied seat
beside him on the stage and shared the
confusion resulting from the affair.
Early in the course of the exercises it
was moved that Mr. Altgeld be re-
uuested to address the joint assembly
at the Inauguration. Speaker Curtis of
the lower house declared the motion out
of order and subsequently refused to
recognize any Democratic member who
attempted to address the chair The ma
jority of the members Of the joint assem-
bly, and the large audience did not ap-
preciate the significance of this course
until a motion to adjourn carried and
put an unexpected end to the ceremon-
les without letting the governor have an
opportunity to deliver the address, which
he carried with him to the stage. Much
indignation was expressed al the snub
and the Democratic members tonight
are bitter in their denunciation of what
they term An outrageous insult" while
the Republican leaders declare that the
whole affair was nothing more nor less
than an oversight ON the part of the
speaker in failing to call upon Mr. Alt
GOLD for 1ic cnaanb (;nVgrOnJ. 4 AltTpl6
left the state house Immediately upon
the conclusion of the inauguration cere-
mony and returned to Chicago without
permitting himself to be interviewed
upon the affair." His friends are very
indignant.
BRYAN'S OPINIONS
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-William ]. Bryan
arrived in Chicago this morning on a
business trip. A reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press tonight asked him if he had
read of the slight offered to Gov. Alt
geld. He replied: II have Just noticed
in an evening paper that the Legislature
refused to hear the customary address
from the retiring governor. If it is true
that the Republicans did this in order to
show their dislike for Gov. Altgeld it
will probably result as such insults al
ways Go. in more harm to those who
offer it than TO the people against whom
it was directed
"The fact that Gov. Altgeld ran ahead
of the national ticket in this state is
evidence that his defeat was not due to
personal hostility to him, and ! hardly
think the people will approve of any
slight offered to him in his official posi-
ton"
Questioned about the defeat of the
Pacific railroads bill. Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am very much gratitied to know Of the
defeat of that bill Its purpose was to
fasten a heavy burden upon the western
states for eighty years to come and the
people in those states have reason to
rejoice at their escape from 50 unjust
a measure

SPAIN's LAsT HOPE.

The action of the European powers
I'm the Cretan AFFAIR is giving Spain
new hope on her Cuban difficulty. The
assumption of the Madrid government
seems to be that the powers will assist
the Spaniards as they did the Turks.
Accordingly, Spain is again seeking the
help of the powers in maintaining her
sovereignty in Cuba. The powers, act
ing in concert, have assisted Turkey in
asserting her sovereignty in Crete, un-
der the pretext OF preserving the public
peace and for the sake of the principle
Of authority, and for yet other reasons.
1t seems that Spain is desrous that
they shall now come to her assistance,
for the sake of peace and authority, at
a time when she is in danger Of losing
her chief foreign possession, as Turkey
was in danger Of losing Crete, and
when she is menaced with troubles
which may result in a domestic catas-
trophe. bringing about complications
highly undesirable for Europe.
All the powers are interested in the
Spanish situation as well as in the
Turkish, and it is Cuba that is the
source of woes for Spain as Crete was a
source OF disturbance for Turkey. II
the powers have stood for Turkey
against an insurrection, ought they not
to stand for Spain in a similar case
There is ground for the statement that
Spain has recently pressed this sugges-
tion upon their notice Ii would ap-
pear that Spain, or at least the Spanish
premier. entertains the opinion that
Spain has been treated unfairly by this
government, and that she is desirous
that the powers shall convey this in
formation TO Washington. We do not
think that any of the powers will per-
form such a task for Spain.

OUR CADETS BARRED ABRO.

OOk CADETS BARRED ABltOAD.
AS England declines further to ex-
tend the courtesies Of her institutions
for the education OF naval architects to
American pupils, the graduates of the
Naval Academy must hereafter be edu-
Gated at home. Lately England has re-
fused to permit the cadets at Glasgow
to inspect her leading shipyards, or to
receive any information whatever of a
techinal nature. The refusal to grant
these courtesies is said to have been
due to jealousy at the high stand taken
by the Americans over her own men at
the various schools, and especially at
Greenwich.
In all instances the American lads
have taken the highest honors of their
class, and in competition, too, with
men their seniors by many years. OF
perhaps twenty boys sent from the Ma.
val Academy to these foreign schools
all are now members OF the construc.
tion corps, save five who are dead, anC
one, Lewis Nixon, who is at the head oi
a ship-building plant at Elizabethport
N j. Eight cadets are now taking the
course abroad, five of whom have al
ready been commissioned assistant ma
val constructors, and three will return
home in June and be assigned to tn,
corps. These young men are being edu
Gated at Glasgow and at Paris.
