Jack DAILY. in speaking of his fight

disobeys O'Rourke, he is tined so YOU
see that it would have been pretty hard
for me to win unless l put Mcfarland
out.
Mcfarland fouled me all through the
contest and | should have been given
the decision long before l was.
He further says II will never fight in

Whitsur. tide.

Yesterday was Whitsunday or Pente-
cost, the seventh Sunday after Easter Ii
is a church festival, commemorating the
descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of
Pentecost. In the ancient church, Whit.
suntide was one OF the two great seasons
for baptism, the other being Easter, and
received the name of White Sunday from
the abs, or white robes, worn by the
candidates for orders and the newly bap-
tized. Whitsunday commences Whit
suntide, which lasts for the whole fol-
lowing week, but especially are the first
three days celebrated.
Whitsuntide is, Of course, religious
festival and our Fourth of July is u
patriotic one; but to all appearances the
manner of celebrating both is the same.
The present time commencing with to-
day might well be termed the German
Fourth of July.

captured during the first days of the
war. 1t was on board this steamer
that Lieutenant Colonel Cortijo, Wey-

oners ut Fort Mcpherson.
The discovery Of the war supplies
on board the Argonauta will not
change the status of her case before

to-day, before the learning OF the find,
that the steamer was legitimately n
prize of war, no claims having been
filed by the owners OF the ship or car

A like decision was rendered in the
case of the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar
and the schooners Cardidata, Mathil-
da and Sophia. The only formality re-
manning to make these vessels the NIB

the confirmation by the Federal Court
