DIXON GIVEN THE DECISION.
Twenty-Five Rounds Fought witt
the "Omaha X i'd"

George Dixon. the colored feather-weight
champion pugilist. fought twenty-five fast
rounds with Oscar Gardner, the Omaha
Kid before the Lenox Athletic Club in
New York last night and Referee Dick
Roche decided in favor of the champion.
The decision did not please a great many
of those who witnessed the fight. Dixon
did nearly all the leading but Gardner met
him cleverly and cOuntered very forcibly
nearly every time they came together.
Dixon found in Gardner very awkward
opponent to reach. and many of his WELL
meant blows failed to land through the
clever lodging of the Omaha Kid. 1t was
one of the cleanest and cleverest bouts
ever seen in the club, and If the referee had
not picked a winner. but called the bout a
draw, every one would have been satisfied.
The attendance was 1000. The fighters
scaled 122 pounds. Dixon was the favorite
in the betting al 100 to so. Tom ORourke
and Tom Sharkey were in Dixon's corner

Cannot Define Anarchy.

Rome, Dec is.-Though the anti-auar-
chist conference is holding secret ses-
sions, 1t is known that one of the ques-
tions discussed with lively interest dur
ing the last few days is the definition
of the crime of anarchy
To regaIH anarchy as common oris c
is objected to by some of the delegates
on the other hand TO treat it as a simple
political offense would be to render the
extradition of anarchists impossible.
The conference being unable to arrive
at any decision on this point has resolved
to discuss measures against anarchists
without defining the nature of anarchy.
Yesterday the question of establishing
an international bureau for obtaining
and circulating information about an
archists was again discussed. The
Avanti believes that this proposition
was actively supported by the German
delegates. who called attention to the ad-
vantage of a similar Office established in
Berlin: and that the conference has de-
cided to establish an international office
on the Berlin model.
The Avanti adds that the representa-
tives of Switzerland, Belgium. England,

the extradition of anarchists. The dele
gates agreed that the eXtradition ought
only to be accorded If the individual COM

The report of the Government Patent
Commission will be submitted to Congress

recommend that applicants for patents
who apply abroad previous to filing them

of patents in this country over those
applicants who apply here ON the same
date, provided that the application is
made within seven months thereafter
The Commission will also recommend

sfrous of having a general trade mark

recent decision of the Supreme Court.
This decision held the law for the gem

There are thirty-three different systems

issued patents to 1870 applicants. Spain
has issued over 1900 patents to the peo-

fiict with patents given TO the Ameri-

The Roberts Case.

II is barely possible that Mr. Brigham
Young Roberts. member OF Congress-elect
from Utah. is a polygamist. We can
easily conceive of man out in that coun-
try, with such distinguished ard sug-
sestive name, having three, or even three
+ dozen, wives. II is not so easy to see
why he should be called names by the
Evangelical Ministers Association of
Manchester, New Hampshire.
There is no doubt whatever that Mr..
Roberts is an open and conspicuous Nor
mon. About his wives we are unable to
speak. But what we deprecate and resent
is that gentleman who is likely TO be a
resident of our city and to establish a
number of hearthstones in our midst.
should be called a giant octopus
with poisonous tentacles' by lot
of old gentlemen who never saw anything
more nearly approaching one than New
England rum sea serpent.
Roberts should not be discourag ged
His religion adnonishes him to love .hem
who despitefully use him, and the eli
mate in his neighhorhood makes the pre-
cept more binding. We are always glad
to see congressman bring one charming
family TO the capital. Why should not
We welcome him all the more If he pro-
duce several? Perhaps 1t would be just
as well if everybody did not jump st us
and answer this question all at once;
because anything like that would tend to
make a less virtuous influence than The
Times weary of silence and inclined to
discuss the practical question of above
board Mormonism as compared with the
esoteric variety, and that would be
shocking. The question of polygamy
has been delicate one ever since the
days of King solomon.

Their significant Admission.

The anti-eX pansionists who oppose the
ratification of the Paris treaty and the
retention of the Spanish islands, do not
always take pains TO conceal their dis
trust and dislike of our political institu-
tions and their contempt for the Ameri-
can people. II is useless to ask them to
leave this country. They are more pros
porous here than they could be anywhere
else and no other nation would tolerate
them as we do. Some, like Carl Schurz,
are prohibited from returning to their
native country He was run out of Ger
many as mischief breeder. Germany is
not so patient as America. 1t is only
fair to say of others that they are not
citizens of this Republic by choice. They
We're born here without having been con-
suited as to their preference. They will
not leave because, while nothing suits
them in our institutions and they are in
sympathy with monarehies they enjoy
the personal liberty to make money and
the luxury of chronic fault-finding They
are noted for the failure of their schemes
of reform, and are, therefore, considered
harmless. There are times, however,
when they are able TO cause some mis-
chief, as when, by their excessive noise,
they give the impression that the Ameri-
can people are not united in patriotic
purpose. They gave encouragement to
Spain to prolong the peace negotiations
and they may create trouble for the
ignorant islanders by causing an appear
ance of discord as to our policy.
When they reveal their real sentiments
about our institutions and the mass of
our people, we should accept the oppor-
tunity to understand them. One of the
leaders among them is Professor Felix
Adler who seems to share Professor Nor
toms scorn of American ability. In ex-
planning why we cannot succeed in colo
-nial administration as England has done,
Professor Adler said that England has
succeeded because she maintains a titled
arstocracy from whom to draw efficient
leaders; but as we have no such aristoc-
racy, of course we are without able
leaders. Here is an attack on the very
foundation of republican Institutions The
purpose of our existence as a Republic is
to develop the highest type of man
iHttiictNutus anu HDTdily- II was the
belief of the fathers and it is our own,
that the American institutions and the
conditions they promote are the best that
are possible for this end The charge
that -the nobility of Great Britain tower
above the best that America can pro-
duce is a scorn of everything that is
American
Quite as interesting as an exhibition of
their contempt for Americans is the most
significant passage in an arraignment of
the Mckinley Administration at the an
nuai meeting of the Civil Service Reform
Association, of which Carl Schurz is the
president and the chief light. After a
wholesale attack. on Congress, in which
it was said that the members of that

particularly good health. She has been
busy buying Christmas gifts. which were
taken to Windsor Castle for her selec-
ton. Her majesty makes it point, in
choosing presents, to see that her gifts
are peculiarly suitable to each of her
numerous relatives or friends.

the Duke and Duchess of York have beer
visiting the stores in the West End oi

gazing in store windows and choosing
