FITZ DISGUSTED.
He Will Pay No Attention to Either
 Sharkey CT Corbett.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Robsrt F'itzsim- mons, the champion pugilist, is now in this city. He has all along declared that the fight between CorDett and Sharlzey would be Q fake, and when seen tonight after the result was known, he exclaimed: What did tell you? l said it was going to be q fake, and it was nothing but a fake. McVey jumped into the ring on pur- pose to stop the fight and it was all fixed for him to do 1t. You can bet, too, that there were men right at the ringside to uphold him. The whole thing was a put up job, and l tell you it never was on the square.
 What will you do in regard to any challenge that Shalkey or COrbett may send in your direction?"
 ''DC?" said Frtzsimmons, with grea9 scorn. I'll do nothing. I'll pay no at tention to either enc of them. They have put themselves further away from any attention from me than ever. Let them go and ge3 a reputation. There's Peter Maher Why don't they take him cn 9 little? 1 won't pay any at ten-ion to them. Let them go and lick somebody and get 8 reputation. This kind Of figh,ing makes me tired, any how" Thus went on the champion, warming to his subject.
 It was not on the square. There was only one honest fighter in the world, anyhow. and his name is Rob- ert Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons was full of disgust over the ending of the fight and declared over and over that it was job and not on the level.
 Jimmy Barry, the 105 pound cham pion of the world, merely remarked: Its toe bad. The big fellows are kill ing the game"

PRINCE BISMARk DEAD.
His Passing Away Due to Old Agc-The
End Not Expected.


Berlin, July 3O.-Prince Bismarck
died n little before IL o'clock tonight
The end was peaceful.
The details of the death of Prince
Bismarck are obtained with difficulty
because of the lateness of the hour,
the isolation of the castle and the
strenuous endenvors of the attendants
of the family to prevent publicity be-
ing given to what they consider private
details.
The death of the eX-chancellor comes
as a surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials, there was an un-
dercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking of the prince was first an
nounced, inspired more by what the
family left unpublished than by any
information given. But when the daily
bulletins chronicled Improvements in
the princes condition, detailed his cx-
tensive bills of fare and his devotion
to his pipe, the public accepted DR..
Schweninger's assertion that there was
no reason why Bismarck should not
reach the age of 30.
1t appears that the eX-chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications. but was rather the clIl-
mnatlon of chronic disease. neuralgia
of the face and Inflammation of the
veins, which kept him in constant
pain, and which was born with the
iron fortitude which might have been
expected
The beginning of the end dates from
July 20, when the prince was confined
TO his bed. He had been several days
prostrated before an inkling of his de
cline reached the world

The greatest delight is expressed by

The men are anxious to get home.
The first inquiry of all is, ANY news

Many who faced the Spaniards
bravely are now suffering from mel
ancholy and from physical exhaustion,
caused by privntions.
Bad food and fever are killing the
infantry. A colonel to-day said he did
not believe 20 per cent. of the men
could now pick up their kit, accoutre-
mcnts, a days rations and a blanket
and march three miles.

APPEALS FROM PHILIPPINES.
They DO Not Want the Islands Returned
to the Spanish Government.


London, July 20.-Natives of the
Philippine islands and British subjects
who have interests there are alarmed
by the reports that the peace terms in
clude the return of these Islands to
Spain. As a result. they have held Il
meeting here, ana, after consultation
with the Philippians in France and
Belgium, have cabled TO President Nc
Siiley and to Senator Davis, chairman
of the foreign relations committee. The
message TO President Mckinley is as
follows:
''The Philippians resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands for the sake of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us to your
consideration and support. To hand
over our country again to Spain is con-
trary to the humanitarian proceedings
of your noble nation and the wish of
all classes. Civilization, trade and all
will be lost if Spanish authority is re-
established in any FORM
The message to Senator Davis says:
"A cast-iron agreement binding Spain
to form n government satisfactory to
the inhabitants is preposterous. To re-
tain her sovereignty means deception
oppIeSsloH anu DlSctFS. we pace our
rights In your hands and pray you to
induce the President and Senate not
to abandon in the hour of peace peo-
pie who, trusting in American honor
fight for their common interests"
The agent here of AguinSldo, the in
surgent leader in the Philippines. has
received cable dispatch. dated Hong
Kong, G:45 p. m. today, but it makes
no mention of Manila having surren-
dered to Admiral Dewey.
The Springfield herald., 1898-08-05
suggested Object Of Spain.

Washington, July 29.-It is suggest
ed that Spain's inquiry may be
prompted more by a desire to disclose
our policy, with the hope Of finding in
it point of antagonism to the sup
posed interests of some foreign power
than by any intent to speedily close
the war. Spain is not in a position to
ask our terms until she has declared
her intention to yield. The opinion is
expressed that this government should
not submit to being catechised on
merely hypothetical propositions, and
that the reply should be very general
and diplomatic in its terms, rather
pointing out the proper means for
Spain to adopt to ascertain our pnr
poses than in any way disclosing oui
policy.
The Springfield herald., 1898-08-05

Spain's lack of financial foresight
and it's abnormal perception Of honor
will ruin her without other aid II she
continues her present course OF policy.
If her financiers would but stop to re-
fleet upon the general law that money
has a tendency to accumulate in Few
hands, in two or three centuries. owing
to interest of money alone the FOLLY
of increasing the public debt to such an
extent as to make a debt for centuries
to come or TO lose honor and caste
among nations by making tabula rasa
by a revolution would be apparent.

A dispatch received from Admiral

assumed n bold attitude of defiance
and that 1t would take large force
from this country to subdue the insul'-
gents.
New York. July 31.-A dispatch 10
the World from Manila Bay, Philip
pine Islands. July 2G, by way of Hong
Kong. British China. says:
Governor General AuSusti is ready
to surrender to the Americans, nc-
cording to trustworthy information
from Manila as soon as he can do so
honOrably. He will try to hold out
until August LIST. it is reported, and
then. If the hoped-for Spanish fleet is
not on the way here, will offer to
capitulate.
Notwithstanding this credible in
formation, the American officers cX-
pect heavy fighting when the time
comes to take the city.
Five hundred men, including the As
tor battery, arrived yesterday with
General Merritt on the transport New
port. They came directly through
from Honolulu. and had n good voy-
age, without noteworthy incident.
The other transports of the third ex-
pedition are tagging behind because
of their slow speed. They are eN-
pected to arrive here in few days.
After the monitor Monterey and the
collier Brutus left Honolulu the Bru-
tus broke down. Il short distance out,
and the Monterey towed the Brutus
back. The repairs required only
short time, and the vessels We're due
ut Guam to-day. They will reach
here. unless some accident delays
them, within about seven days.
The German incident, apparently, is
closed. The German cruiser COrmo-
ran returned from Hong Kong Sntur-
day. bringing the fleets mail. She
was boarded as usual Admiral Died
richs, the commander of the German
fleet in the Pacific. thanked Admiral
Dewey for boarding her this time,
and sent him n lamp, in return for

sent him.

BAD government seems to prevail in
Corea. The United States Consul Al
len in a report says: Il hear from the
country that the high price OF rice
bns induced the farmers in many re-
a,ons to reclaim new land for the
purpose of increasing the production Of
this staple. The short-sighted greed of
the official class. however, WILL as
usual take away the profits from the
producer and cause the farmer to raise
only enough for bare subsistence.
Recently whole villages of prosperous
farmers, who had been taught indus
try, frugality, and honesty by the
American missionaries, were arrested
on the false charge of holding secret
and seditious meetings and thrown
into prison. Every possession they
had in the world was taken by the
soldiers, runners, and magistrates, and
several of the men actually died Of
starvation in prison. Strong effort was
made to have these poor people brought
to trial, that their cases might be set
tied one way or another, so they would
be able to get in their spring crops.
Nothing could be done, however, be-
cause of the reluctance of the magis-
trate to have his acts investigated
Another pernicious custom is the send
ing out of secret inspectors, presum-
ably to investigate abuses, but, as these
men have great powers and are ex-
pected to bring in large extra revenues,
they squeeze every man who has any
thing worth taking. There are good
officials. and these are honored and re-
spected by the people, but they are
few" 1t is thus that all reforms are
frustrated among people dishonest
by habit
