ming of the fourteenth Lawler seemed
to regain strength and evened matters
up to some extent but not enough to
diminish his adversary's lead to any
considerable degree.
The last round was a delight to the
steady ring-goers. The men fought and
slugged in an effort to put each other
out, but the bell rang with smatters in
MaXwell's favor. Referee Jack Stelz-
ner announced Maxwell the winner
which decision was cheered. LAWYER

There were two preliminaries, neither
of which amounted to much from q
scientific standpoint. Young Peter
Jackson was given the decision over
Mike Mccormick in the ninth round
The police stopped the fight because

sMOKELEsS POWDER.
Sufficient Supply For Arms OF
Eorty-five Caliber.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-An order
issued by the War Department states
that the Ordnance Department has a
sufficient supply Of ~smokeless powder
cartridges for the arms of 40 caliber.
These cartridges are to be used in ac-
tual operations only. The black powder
will be used in target practice.
1t is also directed that when Gener-
ais commanding troops in foreign de-
partments deem il advisable to ex-
change the 40 caliber arms for the 80
caliber magazine rifles acquisitions
should be forwarded to the chief of
ordnance. AS all regiments cannot
have their arms exchanged, the de-
partment commanders are directed to
confine acquisitions to troops that had
such experience as will fit them for TAX
ing care and making efficient use of the
magazine arm. 1t is also stated that
the black powder cartridges in action
was the principal and only material OBJ
lection to 40 caliber arms, and that in
some respects it is preferable, especially
for new troops and that the use of
smokeless powder generally avoids the
necessity for exchange.

Arizona Republicans.

PRESCOTT "a. To, Sept 20.-The
Republican Territorial Convention held
one of the most harmonious sessions
here to-day ever held in the Territory.
Representative citizens were in attend
ance from every county in the Terri
tory. Lieutenant Colonel A. 0. Brodie
of Roosevelt's Rough Riders was NOM
mated for delegate to Congress by ac-
clamation, amidst the enthusiastic
cheers of the members of the conven-
ton and the spectators.
The convention made an innovation
in the principles of the party in the
Territory by the adoption of a plank
favoring the initiative and referendum
in legislation without a dissenting vote.
A similar plank was introduced in the
Democratic Convention last week, but
was not permitted to be put to a vote.
To-day's convention adopted strong
resolutions favoring the administration
of President Mckinley and the Terri

in the contest, figuratively, at any
stage, Maxwell fighting him to stand
still in almost every round.
The Scotchman surprised the crowd
