an importat circular, announcing the adop-
ton of the modus vivedi during the war
with Spain of the additional articles to the
original Red Cross society which were
drafted October 20, 1868, the object of which
is to extend the operations of the Red
Cross, which concerned only warfare on
land, to naval warfare.
The addition of simply a modus was pro-
posed by the government of Switzerland,
following the example set by France AMI
the North German states in the war Of 1870.
The government of Spain also has an
nounced Its acceptance Of these additional
articles as a modus vivendi. The effect of
this joint action is to insure, as far as may
be, the safety from attack at the hands of
either party of the new hospital ship Solace,

HISTORY OF PUGILISM
MAKES PETER MAHER ONE OF
THE ANCIENTS
Joe Goddard Hit Him by Accident
and Peter Immediately Went
Soundly to Sleep

PHILADELPHIA, May l3.-Pugilistlc
history was made very rapidly at the
Arena tonight, when In one minute and
fifty-one seconds of combined sparring
and fighting Joe Goddard, the Barrier
champion retired Peter Maher with a
sort of pivot punch, which was delivered
SO suddenly that hardly a spectator real
lied what had come off. Up to the time
he received his quietus Maher looked like
winner. What few punches that had
been landed were in his favor. AS mat
ter of fact, Goddard landed the punch
which proved SO disastrous to Peter while
trying to escape from one of the latter
vigorous onslaughts near the ropes.
1t was evident that Goddard was in the
better physical condition of the two. He
looked several pounds lighter than upon
the occasion of his memorable encounter
with Peter at Coney Island, and displayed
stiffness of foot that was surprising
in one of his years.
Maher took the initiative, essaying left
handler, which fell short. Maher finally
landed with his left on Goddard's jaw.
Goddard swung for the body, and landed,
but it did not amount to much. and a
clinch followed. AS soon as the men broke
away Maner aBalDNOOk the offensive, lanu-
Ing with his left on Goddard's face, the
Barrier champion retaliating with the
right on the body. Maher rushed Goddard
to the ropes. There was a slight mix-up.
Suddenly Goddard, who appeared to be
breaking away, brought his right around
In a backward movement. The end of his
glove caught Maher on the jaw, about the
face, but whether on the jaw, where God
dard says 1t did, or on the cheek bone,
where Maher says 1t did. will probably
never be revealed. AS Maher received the
punch he was partly tripped by Goddard,
whose right foot was covered by one of
Maher's Peter fell face forward. strik-
ing the floor with great deal Of force.
When Maher went down the spectators
thought 1t was only an ordinary knock
down. but the referee told OF the fateful
ten seconds and Maher was still on the
floor. 1t was fully ten seconds beyond that
time before he arose to his feet. The time
Of the fight was just one minute and fifty-
one seconds.

should not be dismissed as impossible,
merely because 1t would be startlingly un-
pleasant
already we have endeavored, with no
small success, to draw all parts of our vast

other side of the Atlantic"

THE committee on municipal pro
Eramme is unanimous in the opinion that
the city should be free to choose for it
self between the policy of leasing its
franchises or of retaining and operating
them for its own benefit in any given case,
and should be clothed with ample power
for acquiring any and managing public
'''The committee is also convinced that
it has been demonstrated by abundant ex-
perience that in the interest of the public
when the city grants franchise TO pri-
VaUe corporation, associate or Individual,
the term of such grant should be limited
to a definite period not exceeding twenty
one years; in addition to any other form
of compensation the grantee should pay
the city a percentage of the gross receipts
from the exercise of the franchise; at the
end of the period the plant of the grantee
should become the property CT the city,
if the latter SO desire, either without fur
Their compensation than the original grant
or. if additional compensation be paid, it
should not in any way INCLUDE or be based
upon any valuation of or allowance for
the franchise itself which. at the termin-
alton of the grant should ipso facto revert
to the public; every grant of franchise
should contain ample provision, enforce
able by forfeiture OF the grant, or other
wise. to secure efficient public service at
reasonable rates; every grantee should be
obliged to render to the city complete ac-
counts of its financial condition. including
its receipts from all sources an dts ex-

counts Of the grantee should be at all

and Columbus.

COLONIES A BURDEN.
Spaniards Believe Their Loss Will
Prove a Blessing.

St Louis. Dec. 2.-Louis Esteve a men,
Der of a prominent firm of grain and cot
ton importers of Barcelona, Spain, was
day. He talked Interestingly on the sub
Spanish standpoint.
In the course of his remarks he said:
u am firmly convinced that the loss of
our colonies will in the end prove a bless
ing to Spain. although temporarily it will
prove a hardship TO many interests.
with q good government, Spain will
now be more prosperous than for many
years, as her colonies have been more of
a burden than a blessing for some time.
and the people will be forced to develop
the vast resources at home. which have
been neglected in the endavor to make as
much as possible out of the colonies.
The Philippines We're really not Of
much benefit TO Spain, as the commerce
of those islands was controlled by Eng
land and Germany, and SPANS business
with the islands was comparatively light
how light, you may judge from the fact
that there was only one steamer on the
line from Spain to Manila. These islands
are really a burden. and ] do not envy the
United States her acquisition of them.
'Of course. we did a large business with
Cuba, but of late years there has been so
much trouble with that island that the
expenses almost ate up the revenues and
! think we are well rid Of ii also
y am afraid that the United States
will have considerable trouble with the
Philippines and Will rue the day when
they took them away from Spain but
believe that the relations between the
Spanish people and America Will in q
short time be more friendly
