Special Dispatch to The Call.
 CHICAGO. Jan. 26-The great national cooking main, held Tuesday night and the greater part of Wednesday night Tn Herman's Winter Resort at Blur Lake, attracted a crowd of sports, most of whom came from Boston, Providence and other New England towns. A blizzard came on after the start was made from Chicago and once the party was landed at the place where the pit was arranged it could not get away. The time was well put in, however, and many rattling bat ties were fought, the majority or whlch were won by Western birds. The main was for $2500 side on the odd, and was won against an almost hopeless lead.
 When time was called fifteen birds Tell in, fighting at up and down weights, top to light alternately, with one and one Mackin. on the toss up of a coin, won the choice and selected for the first battle gray green grade of Jap sent to him by Like all other birds sent him by Green there were six of them-this proved era ven. and, after losing four successive fights to man from Blackstone, Mass, Mackin withdrew the Japs:
 Mackin never got a look-in until the fifth fight. Casey's favorite strain of roundheads won the first four off the reel, and it began to look blue for the Chicago birds and sports. After the fourth en- gagement Mackin refused to handle any more Of the sacramento 1oWlS ana sent III his own breed
 This turned the tide. The fifth went to Mackin, the sixth to 0 Massachusetts bird, the seventh to the local man and the eighth to the Fastener. The score then stood six victories against two in favor of the Bay State, and it looked like any kind of money against counterfeit coin that the big main would be won by Casey.
 It was at this iuncture that the re- markable change set in. Mackin's last bird, a blue-red Huddleston cross, had gone wrong and the ninth bird brought out of the coop of the Chicago man was a brown-red, five pound twelve and three quarter ounce bird that had won the seventh fight. He was a game one, and though badly wounded went in and won handily enough. From that point on Mackin never again lost battle, win ming eight out of fourteen battles fought and six of them in succession. The score of the main follows:
 Total won, 6: lost, s.
 West 10 o 0 0 1 1 1
 Total won, &: lost. 6.
 The result was a great surprise to the Eastern men. The same strain of birds had won for Casey twenty-two straight victories without a break, and to lose the twenty-third. after having 1t well in hand. was a sumner. Conditioning and strain told, however. and Mackin won only because he had the better warriors

Prenaring for Fever.

Uncle S. IN has issued an order to
his troops t, ''cOok your food and boil
your drinking wa,er," to render the
whole American army immu e from
yellow fever, according to Prof. Ed
ward Kicks of Rush Medical college,
an account of whose di -covery of yellow
fever germs was pu olished fortnight
ago.
The Spanish soldiers in Cuba, among
whom the mortality from yellow fever
has been great, have eaten and drunk
cooked and uncooked food and water
ndiscriminately. Prof. Kelks' the
Dry is that if the simple pre- aution of
boiling the wafer and cooking had
been followed, the army would have
been practically immune from the dis
ease.
In the event of war with Spain the
American troops sent to Cuba would be
forced to depend largely on food can
ned 10 the United Sta .es, which would
lessen the danger cons derably. 1t is
Prof. Kelks's belief that the familiar
injunction of the Chicago health de
partment to ''boil the. water" woula
complete the safety CT the troops from
The disease, whose ravages have been
more ser lOus than bullets.

TBEATERS IN LENT.
Permitted for the First Time in the
Reign of the Present Car

The Russian capital is just now en-
joyiug a period of unprecedent gayety
and amin alton for this time of the
year owing to the fact that the i'm
perial gOvernme Mt has revOk, the es-
ia blished prohibition of theatrical per-
formances during the Lenten season.
Through the powerful influence OF NJ
Pobiedonostzeff, the procurator-gen-
eral of the holy synod, the atrical rep
resep tatiuns have been prohi bited
throughout the empire during Lent
since the reign of Alexander III. to
the present time. The result was that
for seven weeks in every year Russian
actors were prevented from folio win g
their vocation and in many instances
were reduced to the greatest penury.
This year, however, the imperial gov
err ment, yielding to the petitions Of
the theatrical profession ard of the
Jress, and also, it is said, to the per-
sonal appeal of the empress, decided
to permit plays during the second
bird, fifth and sixth weeks of Lent.
rbe representations are, however,
limited to dramatic works and grand
pers, the performance of comic
operas being strictly prohibited.

DIR r. "a. Wise, the repu olicau coutes-
tant. Mr.. Young had 2,499 plurality
on the face of the returns. Frauds
where charged throughout the district,
especially in Norfolk, that most of the
election officials were democrats, and
that in many precincts the votes of the
illiterate were not correctly marked by
them, also that colored voters were
preven,edfrom voting in macy precincts
by keeping them at the rear of the
lines until after the polls closed. The
returns from twenty-five precincts
were thrown out. The democratic

How to Invade.

General Mites has been considering
plans for the invasion of Cuba. He
| thought that Matanzas ana Sagua la
Grande, being less protected than 9TH
-r ports, we're the most suitable places
for landing troops, but Senator Proctor
has suggested that it woui d he waste
of time to land so far from Havana,
which would be the place directly at
tackled. During the week Secretary
Alger and General Miles have been
talking over the subject. Today,
when Secretary Alger and Senator
Proctor conferred, they went into de-
tails to considerable extent. In all
Of these projects, the question of wealth
er is Of the greatest importance. 1t is
realized that any military force sent
into Cuba from the United States will
suffer more from the ravsgcs of d. ease
incident to that latitude than from en-
counters with Spaniards.
Secretary Alger has come to the
conclusion that in the event of bostili-
ties before the close of the rainy sea-
son. it will be imprac,icable to send
AZ illery into the island, owing to tie
very poor condition of the roads, wher-
ever they exist. TIE infantry and
cavalry alone, ther efora, will be de-
pended upon to do the fightirg.
