MURPHY OF WATERBURY WHIPPED
Given an Awful Pumme1ing by McCar-
 thy of ROchester.

Rochester, Dec. 26.-Tom Mccarthy of this city put out Dan Murphy of Waterbury, Conn.,, in the fifth round of their scheduled twenty-round bout at the Rienzi Athletic club tonight. The fight was at catch weights and Mur- phy was outclassed all around. Mur- phy weighed 165 pounds and Mccarthy was certainly up to 175 Mccarthy had the Waterbury wan at his mercy in the second round and he gave him a frightful pummeling. A right hand jolt on the jaw a minute after time had been called in the fifth round put Mur- phy down and out. His face was cov- cred with blood and his left eye was completely closed. Mccarthy came out unscratched, his opponent landing but two blows that scored anything like ef- feet.

STITEWENT B T SENHIOI' T " H' Conditions Attending and hesuthhs
 From the Peace Negotiations.

Washington, Dec. 26.--Senator Frye of tba neace commission talked to Star reported to-day with respect to the conditions attending and resulting from the peace negotiations. With re- spect to the frequently repeated state ments in press dispatches that the sen timent that the powers with the excep- tion of England was opposed to the United States and looked with disfav- or upon the attitude of this government in dealing with Spain, Senator Frye said: II saw no evidence of such senti- ment existing outside of France, and in France that sentiment appeared to be confined to the press, which does not re- fleet the sentiment of the nation nor Of the people generally.
 Do you think there will be an early restoration of cordial relation between Spain and the United States?" was asked.
 " I think that very soon after the ratification of the peace treaty and the restoration of diplomatic relations there will be no difficulty about nego- tiating commercial treaties and treaty for the release of prisoners, and such other matters directed toward the per- feet restoration of friendly relations be- tween the two governments. l do not believe that the Spanish government will be at all disposed to keep UP un- friendly feeling between the two gov ernments The making of new treaties adapted to the present conditions will be better than would be the restoration of the old treaties, some features of which were obsolete.
 What has been published with re- spect to the treaty of peace, seems to l indicate that this government is not ! committed by these negotiations with
 respect to the future disposition of the i territory, the Spanish sovereignty over ! which has been relinquished. It indi- | cates very strongly that this govern ment is not committed in any way i whatever with respect to the disposi- | tion and government of these islands. If
 we are insane enough to do SO. we might ! give them all back to Spain after the i ratification of the treaty. If we were fools we might divide them up among ! the other foreign powers. The whole matter is left in the hands of congress. Congress can make any disposition of
 the islands it sees fit. The ratification of
 the treaty will not in any way curtail our privileges in this direction"

Unable to Formulate Constitutiom--
 Aguinaldo's Cabinet Resigns.
 Manila, Dec. 26.-The so-called con- gress of the revolutionary government of the Philippines, which has been in session for some time at Malolos, has unexpectedly adjourned, owing to the difficulty of formulating constitution. The cabinet of President Aguinaldo, ap- pointed at Bacoor on July last and named in the Bacoor proclamation is- sued that day. has resigned. General Aguinaldo, who had been at Malolos, came from there to Santa Anna, sub- urb of Manila. He then visited Pater- no and now, it is reported, he has gone to Cavinte Vieja, the old town of Ca- vite. Reliable advices say that while he was at Paterno he was indefatigable in his efforts to overcome the policy of the militant faction, which is hostile to the Americans. It is probable that his influence will avail to avert trouble.

WOMEN FIG HIT IN INSIGNIA.
Wife of n Veterinary Surgeon Hits Her
 Sister With a Hammer.

Ansonia, Conn.,, Dec. 26.-What came very near resulting in a serious affray occurred here this afternoon in which two women were the participants, and were it not that one made her escape in time there is reason to believe the affair might have developed into a tragedy The women are Mrs P. V. Webster, wife of veterinary surgeon, whose home is on the corner of Central and Factory streets, and her sister
 Miss Carrie Boyle, who makes her home with Mrs. Webster. Shortly be- fore 8 o'clock the women had some words, over what Is not known, and Miss Boyle grabbed fire shovel and threw it at her sister. The latter re- taliated by taking hold of hammer and using it on the head of Miss Boyle with telling effect, and were it not that she managed to escape from the infu- riated woman a fractured skull would have resulted. The wounds bled pro- fusely and the crowd which gathered on account of the woman's screams, thought murder had been committed when the woman sank unconscious on the stoop of a near by store. Medical aid was hurriedly summoned, and Dr. R. J. Barry found the woman had three bad scalp wounds, though he does not apprehend any fatal developments. The matter has been reported to the police.

THE absolute, real, undOubted hero
of this war, says the Army and Navy
journal, is not Admiral Dewey, sink
ing all of the Spanish fleet ut Manila,
nor Hobson, sinking portion of the
American fleet at Santiago, nor
Shafter, driving out the fleet of Ger
vera and capturing an army double
that of his own, nor Sampson and
his subordiuates, sending Cervera to
destruction, nor twenty others we
could name, but it is Ensign Curtin,
landing at the Port of Ponce, and
with inimitable cheek sending his
ultimatum to the commander of the
Spanish forces at Ponce by tele-
phone! OF all the astonishing Incl.
dents of this war nothing for novelty
approaches this, and Mr.. Curtin
should 90 down in history as the
originator of the Hello method of
reaching military results. The illim-
liable gall of this youth deserves to
be crystalized in history.

ANENT the departure of Secretary
Flemming of the Anthracite Coal
Operators Association for Europe,
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether market cannot be success
fully opened over there for anthra-
cite rs we'll as to induce some of the
powers to use hard coal as fuel for
their battleships, the Philadelphia
Inquirer pertinently says; "The sue
cess of that mission will depend upon
the cost at which anthracite can be
sold to possible European buyers,
but the association is to he com
mended for its enterprise. 1t is be
ginning to be evident that the effort
TO promote the use of that coal is
not to be made contingent only on
the building of another railroad.
There is to he n widening of the
markets, not after the lapse of years,
but this autumn, if that is possible,
and We venture to hope that ii is.
The association is particularly TO be
commended for realizing that it is
not through one agency only that
they can improve materially the
hard conditions now prevailing in
their region, and for turning earn
estly to them all"
