Deaf and Dumb Prize Fighters

The reporter was introduced to
two deaf and dumb prize fighters
yesterday, who stopped over here
in order to catch a train to Gal
weston, where they are booked for
several sparing matches. Their
names are Denny and John Rowan,
and Attawa, ILL.,, is their home.
We also learned that they would
give a sparring exhibition in this
city under the management of
Homer Yendes. We learned after
wards that match had been made
with the largest one against
Louisiana man, and that train
would leave here at midnight with
a party of sports for the scene Of
encounter,
We sized Rowan up and believe
he can whip anything that is put
against him, for he has the build OF
an athlete.

REFUSES AMERICAS DEMANDS.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Claim
the Philippines Belong to
Spain By Protocol.

Paris, Nov. 4,-The Paris Joint
Commission sat two hours today
and adjourned until next Tuesday.
The Spanish commissioners sub
mitted their reply to the American
proposals which was that their
terms was entirely outside the
scope of the protocol and there
fore inadmissable.
The American Commission asked
for time to consider The reply,
hence the adjournment nntil Tues
day.
There is every reason 70 believe
that ultimately the Ametican Com
missioners will agree to the assump-
tion of a certain portion of the
Philippine debt.
The Spanish Commissioners in
structious, it is stated, are to with
draw from the conference if the
Americans do not modify their de-
mand
If these are really the instruc-
tions, there will be at least a tenn
porary suspension of negotiations;
for the Americans have positive in
structions to INSIST upon their de

1t was reported yesterday morn

been shot IN the head, near the
government postoflice, by some un.
known man, thought to be a color

day that they had examined the
wound in Wllbur's head and that it
was made with a club and that he
and companion was in the Sand
Flats together and must haye met
up with some tough character and
got done up in fight. They scout
the idea that he was shot at. We
learn the wound is severe one,
but that the skull is not fractured.

David Tilson has a scheme on
foot which II carried through,
means the gravelipg Of all streets
running north and south from
Spruce to State Line and from
Broad to Seventh, He says it will
take very little gravel to lay a
roadway in the centre Of these
streets, and when they are graded
the gravel will work and harden
over the entire surface in time and
we will have good hard road beds.
Mr.. Tilson says the money to do
this work can be raised by sub.
scriptisu or at least the most Of it.
We favor the scheme and hope our
Texas friends will set us an example
in street improvement that we can
and dare 10 follow,

Democratic Campaign.

The State Democratic committee
has officially announced, through
chairman Martin, that the cam
paign Of 1898 will opened by the
Democrats on Saturday, September
"a, in every county in the state.
The meetings will be held at the
county seat of each county, and
the speakers will all be Indianians.
1t is expected that the county GEN.
trail committees will make the ne
cessary arrangements forthese meet
ings and secure the home speakers
to address them.
In an interview Chairman Mar
tin said with relation to the political
outlook in Indiana:
"Indiana is going Democratic
this year. Republicans as well al
Democrats who are in close touch
with the situation over the state ap-
preciate the feeling Of the masses o.
the voters, and even the most radi
cal of the republican leaders are
claiming the State by but small
figures.

The Democratic press is suggesting
that the soldiers who are returning home
owing to the extreme hardships and
sufferings many Of them endured, will
vote against the Republican nominees
for Congress in the elections this Fall.
Why vote against the Republicans
HuntingbuIg Argus.
Because the Republican party,
though Mckinley and Alger, is re.
sponsible for the appointment Of in.
competent political quartermasters,
commissarys, and surgeons, who
refuse d to listen to the advice and
commands of Surgeon Gen. Stern
berg, Asst Surgeon Gen. Sem, and
other trained officers, with exper-
ience and feelings Of patriotic hu-
manity, in regard to necessary pre-.
cautions to preserve the health Of the
brave army. These officers, who
went toutfora big spree, thought they
knew it all, and that the regulars,
who had made the service life
study, were "stuck up fops.
Thousands died in the U. S. camps,
for want Of proper precautions,
medicines and other supplies, easily
within 36 hours reach from Wash.
ington City, and hundreds more
died and were starved in Cuba as Q
result Of these political appointments
of men who chanced to have cele.
brated fathers and uncles and fal
purses, until the germs OF disease
were scattered by them among the
regulars as well as volunteers, and
the physical wrecks caused by these
incompetent officers, now being dis
charged in all the States, is suffi-
cient evidence OF the heedlessness oi
human life by the Republican ad'
ministration. That's why every
Republican candidate for Congress
should be beaten this Fall.

New YosK, Sept. 10.-The Jour-
nal, Saturday morning, published a
characteristic interview with Sena-
tor Mason, OF Illinois. He said he
and Col. Turner had nothing to do
with the delay in moving the First

orders, end the fault was all with
the quartermaster's departmt mt and
with the railroads. He never in
formed the government that he
would provide for transporting the
regiment home.
Senator Mason, as he reflected
over the sufferings of the men Of his
state, waxed very indignant:
Shameful, disgraceful,
INTERNAL, DAMNABLEl
There is no word or term too
strong to use. Some one has

it make us forget the agonies of our
