THE MAHER-SHARKEY MILL .
Managers of Two Pugl1ists Make Terms
for Fight.

New York, August 11.-"Buck' Con-
molly of Pittsburg and "Dan" Lynch of
San Francisco, the respective managers
of Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey,., the
heavyweight pugilists, met at the Police
Gazette Office today. They held "a long
conference in reference to the articles of
agreement which each received by mail
from the Knickerbocker Athletic club
of San Francisco where the big fellows
are to meet in the ring next October.
The articles were signed by President
Frank W. Miner and Manager lick Abra-
hams of the Knickerbocker Athletic club.
The club offers "trophy to be of the
value of $4,000" and stipul ates that
Maher and Sharkey shall meet in scien-
tific sparring exhibition of 90 rounds or
more in San Francisco between noon and
midnight on October IL next.
The club will post $1,000 forfeit as soon
as the articles are signed and the contes-
tants are to put up forfeit Of $4,000 as
guarantee of good faith of their comply
ing with all the terms of tho agr cement.
The articles call for mutual agreement
on referee "a hours before the contest
Connolly insisted that Maher should have
at least seven weeks to train after he
gets back from Europe which will be
about the end of this month. This will
necessitate the changing of the date to
the latter part of October. The Pittsburg
man also objected to the question of
choosing referee, being left off until
the day before the proposed bout. Lynch
agreed to have the time extended to two
weeks before the fight and that the referee
be mutually agreed upon by the princi-
pals. These, together with some minor
changes, were mailed to San Francisco
for the clubs endorsement.

why Germany Fails in colonizing.

(Poultney Bigelow in Harper's Magazine
for Augusta
In Africa alone Germany has nearly a
million square miles of colonial possess
ion-an area nearly five times as large as
the whole German Empire in Europe.
For thirteen years she has expended vast
sums for the purpose of giving the black
people of these territories the same
minute and paternal administration that
it dispenses in Brandenburg and Pomer-
ania. Costly buildings have been erect
ed in which extensive offices have been
provided and patient clerks on very small
salaries are kept busy tabulating from
day to day the results obtained Germ an
exports to these African colonies are con-
siderable, but they arc mainly in the
nature of ammunition, beer, and other
articles OF prime necessity to the govern
ment officials. (
An army of highly trained scribes is
maintained in Berlin for the purpose
directing the colonial administration, and
q complaisant Parliament votes from
year to year enough money to make up
the chronic deficit; yet today in all Ger
