REARDoN GOT DECISION.

Lewiston, Nov. 17t--Patsy Reardon OF
Lewiston got de cision over Morris
Rosenberg of New York in the sixth
round by foul. After the second
round it was clearly Rosenberg's light
and had it not been for hitting his man
after time was called he would have put
Reardon out easily.
Reardon started in fast, hitting often
on the face and body and in general
mix-up in the second round seemed to
lave much the best of it.
In the third round, however, Rosen-
berg entered the ring very fresh and
from that time on forced the fighting
In the sixth Reardon was knocked down,
staying nearly the full time. Soon after
when time was up Rosenberg committed
the foul.
Referee Billy McGinnis; seconds for
Reardon, Donovan, Daily and Welsh; for
Rosenberg, White and Rosenberg.

THE KINEo MURDER.

Dover, Novembre 1.-THE second day
of the trial of Paul Peters for the murder
of John Smart. the Kineo guide, brought
few new developments. Jack Haskell
testified to having been in the wash room
where the shooting was done just before
it occurred and heard the beginning OF
quarrel. Josie Smart heard Peters say
that he would shoot the first man who
laid hands on him,
The government completed the pre-
sentation of its evidence this afternoon
ard the opening argument for the de-
fence was made by counsel Henry Hud-
son. On plea of self-defence defen-
dents counsel will attempt to prove that
the shooting was necessary to protect
Peters from bodily harm and that it was
not accomplished by malice or attempt
to kill. 1t will also be claimed that
Peters was badly injured by Smart, in
the Mushroom before the shooting.

cided upon as the next place for holding

middle of October, the exact date to be
fixed later. Mrs. Stevens, the president,
announced that Miss Powderly the stem
ographer, who served Miss Willard faith

TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
An Understanding Said To Have Been
Reached With China.

Vancouver, B. c., November f7.-Ad.
vices from the Orient brought by the
steamship Empress Of China include the
following:
japanese papers contain news of an
alleged ssc,es treaty between China and
Russia. In this treaty the Chinese gov
eminent is stated to have agreed that
Russian soldiers are to be employed for
defense of the coast and as military in
struators. They are to be commanded by
Russian officers. The whole expense is
agreed to be borne by China. This ar
frangement would be altogether subver-
siye of the plan arranged for not long
since for the employment OF British off,
GERS to drill and organize Chinese army.
1t is reported that the Japanese govern
ment has decided to cO-operatb with
Great Britain with the object of restoring
all things in China to their former status
before the recent coup d'etat. 1t has
transpired that on the day of coup d'etat
no fewer than IA eunuohs who were the
Emperor's personal attendants, were
ordered to execution by the Empress
Dowager.
The Empress Dowager has issued an
edict inssructing the provincial authori-
ties to diligently protect all places
wherever Christian chapeIs of any nation.
atty have been built and ordering that
all missionaries in the interior be proper
ly and politely treated.
Considerable discomfort exists in differ
emit parts of Human, owing to the re
cent executions of refoJmers at Peking
and well known men Of wealth and In
fiuence have subscribed money to help
the rebellion in Kuanetung ard Kuangsi.
Tbere are slso instructions in the Lien
Chon prefecture and the provinces Of
Szchuen.
1t is stated that the Argentine Republic
and the Gillian government propose to
conclude treaty with Japan and estab-
lish q legation in Toxic. 1t Is added that
the South American republics are anx-
ious to encourage trade with Japan and
there is q proposal for direct steamship
line to be established.
Hong Kong advices say:
The appalling misery caused by the
Yellow river floods is even in it's bare
recital narrowing in the extreme. One
of the missionaries engage in relief
many were standing in the water for days
holding their children out of 1t. The
same writer says:
nPeople BY the tens of thousands are
huddIed together on the banks of the
river. living in pig-sty fashion, with
only a miserable dole TO Keep BODY and
soul together. Some not SO fortunate
have been compelled to take refuge on
the roofs of their houses, where they
were exposed to a pitiless rain. Others
climbed trees and hung there till they
dropped to the water through hunger
and exhaustion"
Details of the fire in Hankow early in
October show that hundreds of lives
were lost and that one quarter of the ma

the loss of life is now estimated to be at
least two Thousand and about ten times
that number are said to have been rem
dered homeless.

HOW THE "soNs. BEHAVED.
A Little Inside History of the American
Army in Honolulu.

The Bangor Commercial publishes ex
tracts from a personal letter received il
that city from Wallace r. Harrington, {
former Portland boy, who is no- editor
of Honolulu paper, the Evening Bulle
tin. Speaking OF our soldiers who have
recently favored the Hawaiian capital
with their presence he says:
Jimmy Blaine WINS drunk during the
most Of his time hsre. The story about
his having row with native was lie
but he did get loose one night and chased
a Chinaman with butcher knife, threat
ening to cut off his queue. Young
.Milliken did not meet / believe he
minded his own business, but the most Of
the kids who wore shoulder straps by
virtue of their fathers prestige made pub
lilo asses of themselves.
Mayor Strong's son distinguished him
self by smashing all the glasses in hote
bar one evening. den. Merriam's SOL
| got loose and declared martial law or
down town streets one evening. He made
thingsaliyely for time and Gen. King il
his official report of tine affair said youne
Merriam WASH t drunk, but should hats
to have had his head the next morning
Thus the army gives us am uselnent some
| times and always plenty to talk about
Give Honoulu the latter and everybody Il
happy except the army.
Seriously, the friction between thu
army officials and local authorities il
very unpleasant. A good portion Of this
trouble arises out of the fact that the ter
ritory is not fully annexed yet. The fias
| is up, but the whole machinery of thu
old government goes on the same, and thu
old officials are in office. They are in
clined to stand on their dignity and the
army officers feel that the local authori
ties are touchy and too alI-fred jealous Of
their power In this matter / consider
the army right The result has been
several official hot times in the old town.
ssIf Mckinley had only appointed
Sewall ut the head of affairs instead Of
keeping Dole in office much of this
trouble would have been ayerted The
majority of the annexationists except the
misssionary crowd are working tooth and
nail to have SewalI appointed the first
governor OF the territory, after Congress:
decides what laws it will give us. Mex
to SswaIl, 1 think S. NJ. Damon, the
present minister of finance, is first choice

THE MARLBORO STRIKE.

Marlboro, Mass, Nov. ia state
ment made today on the very best au-
thority is to the effect that no other than
Marlboro people will be employed in the
factories which are now under the ban.
1t is said that a man offered to bring to
the S. FL. Howe shop Is finished shoe
makers who would go to work at once
at the prevailing prices, but Mr.. Howe,
the president of the company, refused to
make any such bargain, saying that his
shop would only open with the Marlboro
workmen. This is interpreted to mean
that a free shop is anticipated.

lions for positions in their shops.
