most notable boxing contests ever held
In Connecticut was that In the Park City
theater last night before 1000 spectators.

colt were the principals, and they boxed
.25 clever rounds to a draw. The men
signed to box at catch weights. not 70
exceed las pounds. The Siler rules were
followed.
The spectators included delegations
From all over the state. with large con-
tingents from New York and Boston.
Betting was even and considerable
money was wagered. but apart from
those that had money wagered the de-
cision was very satisfactory.
The first 10 rounds were probably the
most clever exhibition of sparring ever
witnessed in Bridgeport. Science was
displayed that only men Of the repu-
tation Of the principals could present.
The rounds were hot. and Smith led and
forced the fighting. After the 10th
round Walcoft evened matters. though
In several successive rounds Smith
seemed TO have the best Of IL in might
ing. The windup was the swiftest round
of the night: both men rushed matters,
but when the gong sounded thsy were

The abstract purpose Of Intervention is
pesosabls enough. but It's results may
smaan even . greater fight than that to
stop which ia the object Of Intervention.
Proysrbiaiiy, the pescemaker Is likely to
fail and to have row on his own hands,
to bocG
In Crete the allied Powers Of Europe
intsrfered without getting themselves
seriously involved In the quarrel The
quarrel itself was stopped In Crete, too,
although IL was transferred TO the main
land, where it was quickly ended In
quite natural way. Meantime, there has
been, and is now, peace In Crete. and the
Powers are about to retire, leaving
stable government in that distressed
island. Under the authority Of the
Powers Crete is to have a government
satisfactory to the Greeks, while only the
inhumane features Of Turkish rule seem
TO be abolished.
Much the same thing does our govern
ment primarily design for Cuba--not to
take sides as bstween a vague Cuban
government, free and independent, ,and the
sovereignty OF Spain. but to compel
peace In the interests OF humanity and
civilization and In defence of our own
commercial interests. SO much the
United States have ciear right to do.
AS to justification In going beyond that
opinions differ. though, OF course, public
sentiment In this country is all with the
Cuban patriots lighting for freedom. as It
would be with any peoples SO struggling.
The U3ited States of America on this
hemisphere have declared ana maintained
tho rights assumed by the concert of the
Powers of Europe to regulate and control.
80 far a. may be practicable. such matters
In the common interests of all of us. So
IL IL proposed to bring to bear interven-
tion in the Cuban struggle-by force Of
arms II necessary. just as In the Cretan
case the allied nations sent their fleets to
enforce peace. or course, either Turkey
or Greece would have resisted such inter-
vention had they been powerful enough.
II Spain thinks herself strong enough TO
contest our right to intervene In the
Cuban mess she will declare war. Or
she may proceed to wage enough Of q
war to satisfy her honor and let IL 60 1t
that with no more serious purpose.
That is the situation In nutshell, If
the resolution adopted by the House on
Wednesday is passed BY the Senate.

NEW ENGLAND's COTTON CON-
PLANT.

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter vigorously maintains It's position
that the alarm In the cotton industry Of
New England because of Southern COM
petition is unwarranted, and that the
remedy for the obviously serious effect on
our home manufactures Is to be found
in reorganization o. methods looking
to grsster efficiency through up-to-date
policies Of conducting the manufacture
and the disposal Of product. 1t stoutIy
denies that the unsatisfactory conditions
are due to causes bsyond the control of
the parties Immediately engaged In the
business and fatty condemns all PROPOSE
tions seeking relief through an extension
Of the hours OF labor. restoration OF .
fine system now abolished BY law, or re-
duction in wages.
The Massachusetts Legislature has been
memorialized by group Of cotton manu-
facturers to repeal much OF tbs legislation
referred to and leave the corporations as
free rs are the Southern manufacturers
to impose hours Of labor according to
their judgment, and otherwise bs exempt
from the provisions of Law that have
"hampered" New Ensland's industries.
Suoh appeals are not likely to prove erfec-
tive, as The News has already pointed
out because public opinion is not In
sympathy with them. But the. Wool and
Cotton Reporter goes further 10 maintain
that the cotton manufacturers who ask
for this legislation would not be benefited
by 1t II they got 10, and ought to be able
to do business without IT. The Reporter
declares that IL the cotton manufacturers
OF Massachusetts, will devote less time and
energy to lamentations over the spread
Of cotton mills In the South, and more
to Increasing their own efficiency, and In
adjusting their tius-worn methods %
