CASE OF SERGEANT D0BsON.
Doctor Heard in His own Defence
Testimony Against Him.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November IL
Dr { clifford Cox. an assistant surgeon
I'm the First Volunteer Regiment OF the
District Of Columbia, to-day explained
IN Colonel DENLY, OF the War Inyestl-
eating Commission, his connection with
the case of Sergeant Dobson, or that reg
lment. who died in a Brooklyn hospital
last September. He said he had not at
tended the case until the Sd OF Septem-
Der. when he had gone TO see the young
man in his tent, and on the 5th ne had
pronounced the case typhold-feVer ana
ordered the patient taken to the general
hospital
Dr. Cox did not believe Dobson had
suffered BY being allowed to remain IN
his tent as his case was a very mild one.
The Young man was lying on bed on
the ground. but he had a hammock ne
could have used If he had desired.
DIR. Cox expressed the opinion that the
natient should not have been removed
IN the Brooklyn Hospital from the gene
raj camp hospital.
KILLED BY HIS MOTHERl
"No doubt" he said. "he was killed
nv being moved around" IL was his UNI
derstanding that the sick mans mother
had requested the transfer.
Corporal Ryan testified that Dr. Cox
had required Sergeant Dobson TO come
10 his Cthe Doctor's) tent notwithstand-
ing he had been told the man was not
able 10 do so, and that, in face or the
fact that Dobson was practically carried
I'D by two comrades. DR.. Cox had mark
ed him for duty. Corporal Ryan declared
that Dobsons bed on the ground consist
ed of his blanket only, and that ne dlc
not occupy his hammock because he
could not get into It. Corporal Ryar
stated. as did DR.. Cox, that Dobson had
not wanted TO go to the hospital. as he
desired 10 come home with his regiment

The negroes were in Jail who had been ar

and some persons of the town thought they
should be summarily dispatched. One was
prominent leader, Thomas Miller, who was
charged with declaring that he would wash
his hands in white mans blood before
night.
Mayor Waddell and his associates put a
veto upon the proposed lynching. They said
that good government was to prevail in Will

SULLIvAN'S STUPIDITY
STOPPED THE SLUGGING AND
SPOILED THE SPORT
Brother Dave Lost the Fight but Was
Saved From More Thorough
Humping

LENOX ATHLETIC CLUB, New York,
Nov. 1l.-Through the unlooked-for inn
pulsveness and stupidity of his brother
Jack, Dave Sullivan, the little Irish pugl-
ist, lost the bout with George Dixon, the
colored feather-weight champion tonight at
the Lenox Athletic club. The lads were
matched to go twenty-five rounds at l22
pounds, and for nine rounds Dixon had the
call. He was Sullivan's master in nearly
every instance, and in the tenth round he
more than out-pointed his adversary A left
hand hook from Dixon, which caught Sulli-
van on the head, almost put Dave out oil
business, but he pulled himself together,
only to go to thel floor near the ropes from
a push. This occurred near the end of the
round, and Jack Sullivan evidently thought
that time was up. While Dave was trying to
regain his feet Jack jumped through the
ropes and then ran back again. y moment
later, Just as Dave stood erect, Jack jumped
into the ring again and ran over to the
referee, shouting ''Time is up! Time is up!'
Jimmy Colvile Of Boston, who was referee,
looked at the impulsive youngster in amaze
ment, and then spoke to the timekeeper,
who said, 'Two-forty only" and then Col
vile waved his hands so as TO tell every one
that the bout was over. Sullivan could not
understand what was up, as Dixon made no
effort to get at him, and then the whole
thing flashed upon him. He appealed ITO
the referee to continue, but Colville's hands
were tied, under the rules, and he had no
alternative.
This sudden termination of the fight was
sad disappointment to the spectators, az
Sullivan was not beaten when the iiasco oc-
Cured, and would undoubtedly have gone
on for several rounds, but Dixon had such
an advantage at the time that there was
no question that he would have received the
decision if the bout had gone to the limit
Dixon was not as fast as of yore, but was
equally as clever, and at no timeduringthe
contest did Sullivan have the upper hand.
Since the Maher-Sharkey fight the Lenox
Athletic club has never held such large
number of spectators as it brought out to
witness tonight's MILL More than 5000 peo
Pile were in the hall. When the betting be-
gan Dixon was the favorite at odds of 100
to 80, but all offers at this price were so
quickly snapped up by the friends of the
little Irshman that even money was the
ruling price inside of twenty minutes. Then
more Dixon money came in sight and the
odds on the colored boxer went up again to
100 to 80. 'Spike" Sulivan's brother made
circuit of the boxes and placed about $1,000,
getting odds of 100 to 80, and in few in
stances accepting even money

Quieting Down

WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-A special to
the Post from Columbia, S. c., says:
Lnte news from the scene of the recent
lynchings indicate that the angry passions
of the people are subsiding, and no further
boodshed is now to be expected, unless two
negroes, Circuit and White, or Henderson,
a white man, all of whom the crowd wishes
to secure, are found There is every reason
to believe that all three have made good
their escape.
The feeling against the Tolberts seems to
be intense. This morning notice was given
James Tolbert, whose wife is postmistress
at Mccormick, that he would be allowed
thirty-sx hours to leave, but that his wife
and children will be cared for and protected.
Although James Tolbert is not known to
have had anything to do with the recent
troubles, it is said the he left, going no one
knows where. Mrs. Tolbert, 1t is stated, is

European Comment

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE weekly papers,
while they see in Tuesdays election i'm
proved prospects Of currency legislation, re-
gret that the Republican success was not
more pronounced. They express fear that
the results will encourage continental pow
ers to increase hostility toward the annex
alton of the Philippines by the United
States, although they doubt that there will
be any more serious intervention than acr
monious protests, ''as the powers are aware
that Great Britain would not allow the
United States to be overborne by hostile
coalition"
The Spectator says: "The statesmen OF
the continent universally fear the advent Of
the United States in European politics
They cannot rid their heads of the idea that,
if they stand together, as when they coerced
Japan, America will similarly yield But
their representations at Washington are
likely to irritate greatly the national pride
of the American, leading to universal sup
port of President Mckinley in a reply
which, however moderate in tone, will in
effect beja clear defiance. The excessive fear
felt of an Anglo-Saxon alliance is shown by
the fact that the whole continent sees in
Lord Saisbury's guildhall reference tc
America all manner of menaces."

Counting the Dead

WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. IL. The
number of negroes known to have been
killed in the fight Thursday is six. Nine
negroes and three white men were wounded.
Only one of the white men, William Mayo,
is seriously hurt. Four of the negroes are
mortally wounded. They are in the city
hospital.
The negroes who are killed are at an un.
dertaking establishment, and the bodies
were viewed today by large crowds of peo-
pie. AT 10 o'clock tomorrow the coroner's
inquest will be held. The coroner is a
negro. This fact, perhaps, together with the
impossibility of getting witnesses, prevented
the inquest from being held today.
