School Histories.

Professor Goodwin Smith, formerly
of Oxford, but now living a retired lit
erary existence in Toronto, has called
attention to the fact that the school
histories of the United States that he
has recently examined are far less
prejudicial to the English than former
ly This is as 1t should be. 1t is per-
haps not too much to say that 80 per
cent. Of the jingoism in the recent
Venezuelan affair can be traced to the
spirit of Anglophobia educated in youth
by false or misleading accounts of the
Revolutionary War, of the war of 1872,
and of Great Britain's attitude toward
the Civil War. For the last ten years
honest American historians have come
to be regarded somewhat in the light
Of iconoclasts by the last generation,
for many beautiful stories told at the
expense of the Britisher have been
shown to be mere fabrications. In pre-
pairing these later histories more at
tention has been paid to British
archives, and it has been discovered
that the Revolutionary War was Wig
orously. opposed by a vast majority Of
the middle class in England, and that
the hiring of Hessians to reduce the
Colonists almost caused an insurrec-
ton. This new aspect of Anglo-Amer-
lean history may take the ginger from
a lot Of Fourth O. July patriotism, but
it comes none too soon, and Is emf
nently right.-New York Times

hardt Of New Orleans fought twenty
five rounds tonight at the Greater
New York Athletic Club, Coney Island,
and at the end of the twenty fifth
round the men We're able to go sew
eral rounds more. Referee Sam Austin
satisfied every one by declaring the
bout a draw.
In the opening round Everhardt land
ed a right swing on the back Of the
Kids" neck, and at the close Nc
Partland had forced Everhardt to his
corner. The succeeding rounds were
simply exhibitions of scientific sparring.
The following rounds, up to the
nineteenth, were fast and the fighting
pretty even, with the advantage, If any,
in favor of Mcfarland.
In the nineteenth round Everhardt
swung his right hard on Mcfarland
head, daZing the Kid Everhardt
rushed, and the round ended in clinch
near the ropes. Mcfarland came up
strong in the twentieth, however, and
cut out faster pace, which he con-
tinued in the following rounds. Ever
hardt was tired when he went to his
corner.

took a turn at rushing, and took des-
perate chances to land a swinging
blow. He was cleverly blocked and
failed to get one past Mcfarland s
guard.
Mcfarland opened the twenty fifth
with left chopping blow on the face.
Mcfarland again sent his left to the
face, and Jack landed a hard left on
the ear. Jack rushed wildly, and Nc
Partland uppercut him with the left
on the breast. Mac kept jabbing left
and right swings, which did not land.
Jack uppercut the kid with his
right on the chest and slipped to his
knee. When Jack got to his feet time
was up and the fight was ended.
The referee declared the bout draw.

Removal Of Troops to the Preside
to Begin To-Day.
Government Grounds Now Ready for Their
Occupation.
The Next Expedition to the Philip
pines Expected to Leave on the
ST. Paul Next Thursday OF Fri
day-The Scandal and Arizona
to Follow in About Two Weeks.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-It was
announced at General Merriam's head
quarters to-day that the removal of
troops from Camp Merritt to the Pre-
sidio would begin tomorrow. Captain
Thompson Of the Quartermaster's De-
apartment, who has been directing the
work of preparing the Preside grounds
for occupation, reported that the ar
rangements, SO far as his department.
is concerned, were practically completed
this afternoon.
The arrival here of the first battalion
of the Washington regiment of volun-
teers is expected to result in an order
being issued by General Merriam re-
lieving the other two battalions from
duty at the various posts about the
bay, and bringing the entire regiment
together at the Preside.
The next expedition consisting of the
balance of the South Dakota troops
and recruits for other regiments already
in the Philippines, is expected TO leave
next Thursday or Friday at the latest
on the steamer st. Paul. The Scandal
viii follow the ST. Paul westward in
about two weeks, by which time it is
figured the Arizona will be ready and
may possibly accompany the former to
Manila.
Private Lyon Hull, Company E, First
South Dakota Volunteers, died Of ca
1arrhal pneumonia at the division field
@hospital at the Preside last night.
There are 20o patients in the hospital
at present, including several serious
cases of pneumonia and two suspected
cases of smallpox. The latter may be
only the exaggerated cases Of vaccina-
ton. There are forty seven patients in
the Preside Post Hospital. Several Of
these are serious cases of typhoid fever.
General Merriam has selected Lieu
tenant Colonel Lee Slower of the First
Dakota Infantry to command the troops
going to Manila this week on the
Z steamer st. Paul. They will embark on
Thursday or Friday. Two battalions of
the First South Dakota left for the
Philippines on the steamer Rio Janeiro
on last Saturday. The remaining bat
talon of the regiment is to go on the
ST. Paul In addition General Merriam
has decided to send the recruits for the
First Colorado and the Tenth Penn
sylvania.
Troops for the steamer Scandal and
the Arizona will not be designated until
next week, as those vessels will not be

1T is for the best interests of the
world that a canal connecting the At
lantic and Pacific should be controlled
by the United States, and whatever at
titude the European Powers may take,
foreign interference in Central America
is out of the question, because the in
terests of the United States and Great
Britain in the future will be permanent
there. Lord Salisbury's policy toward
the United States is statesmanlike."
The letter was evoked by an article
in the Daily Graphic" calling atten-
ton to the reversal of Englands tradi-
tiona1 policy to prevent the United
States from acquiring strategical posi-
lions in the Atlantic and Pacific, en-
abling it to control the possible canal.
The Daily Graphic; in an editorial
this morning, says it agrees with Sir
George Sydenham Clark. but is curious
to know what induced Lord Salisbury
to adopt an attitude which has SO much
facilitated the United States.
