MAYER BEATEN IN ONE ROUND Joe Goddard Whips the Irish Champion in
 @ Punch. Sort Of Pivot Blow Delivered While Avoiding One or
 Peter'S RusheS. Time of the Sensational Combat Just One Minute and Fifty-One
 Seconds.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHILADELPHIA. May 13.-Pugfl1s- tic history was made very rapidly at the Arena tonight, when, in one min ute and fifty-one seconds of combined sparring and fighting, Joe Goddard, the Barrier Champion retired Peter Ma her with a sort of pivot punch Which was delivered so suddenly that hardly a spectator realized what had come OIL Up to the time he received his quletus Maher looked like winner. what lew punches had been landed were Ill ms favor. AS a matter of fact, Godoard landed the punch which proved so dls- astrous to Peter while trying to escape from one of the latter's vigorous on- slaughts near the ropes.
 It was evident that Goddard was III the better physical condition or the two. He looked several pounds lighter than upon the occasion of his memora- ble encounter with Peter at Coney lsl- and, and displayed shiftiness or root that was surprising in one or ms years.
 Maher took the initiative, esSay1ng a left-hander, which fell short Maher finally landed with his left hard on Goddard's jaw. Goddard swung for the body and landed, but 1t did not amount to much and a clinch followed. AS soon as the men broke away, Maher agaln took the offensive, landing with his long left on Goddard's face, the Barrier champion retaliating with the right on the body.
 Maher rushed Goddard to the ropes. There was a slight mix up. Suddenly Goddard, who appeared to be breaking away, brought his right around in backward movement. The end of his glove caught Maher on the jaw, about the face-whether on the jaw, where Goddard says 1t did, or on the cheek bone, where Maher says it did, will probably never be revealed. AS Maher received the punch he was partly trip ped by Goddard, whose right foot cov- cred one of Mahers. Peter fell face forward, striking the floor with great deal of force.
 When Maher went down the specta- tors thought it was only an ordinary knockdown, but the referee told off the fateful ten seconds and Maher was still on the floor. It was fully ten sec onds beyond that time before he arose to his feet. The time of the fight was just one minute and f1fty-one seconds.

EXPLAINED BY
 CHAMBERLAIN Why England Desires an Alliance With This
 Country. Great Britain May Be Con- fronted by a Combination

War Would Be Cheap if the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack
 Should Wave Together.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, May 13.-The Right Hon. orable Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, made an inn portant speech on public affairs at Bir- mingham this evening. MT. Chamber lain, after deprecating the constant as- sertions in certain quarters that Lord Salisbury was "discredited," and the Government weak and vacillating, '" said:
 "If foreign countries believe and act upon these statements, they will find themselves much mistaken, and that courteous diplomacy and graceful con- sessions are not incompatible with a firm maintenance of the country's honor and interests
 He then declared he intended to make plain statement of the facts, unfettered by the mysteries and reti- cences of the diplomacy of half cen tury ago, which, without revealing se- cret negotiations, should be understood by the people,.
 MT. Chamberlain said he would ac- cept the judgment of the people as willingly as that of the wisest diplo- matist in the world. Referring to the policy of strict isolation that England has pursued since the Crimean war, he remarked that this had been perfectly justifiable," and added: "The time has arrived when Great Britain may be confronted by a combination of powers, and our first duty, therefore. is to draw all parts of the empire into close unity, and the next to maintain the bonds of permanent unity with our kinsman across the Atlantic" Loud cheerS.)
 There Is a powerful and generous nation," said MT. Chamberlain, using our language, bred of our race and having interests identical with ours. I would go so far as to say that, terri ble as war may be, even war itself would be cheaply purchased If in great and noble cause the stars and stripes and the union jack should wave together over an Anglo-Saxon alliance. Prolonged cheers.)
 Tt is one of the most satisfactory results of Lord Salisbury's policy that at the present time these two great na- tions understand each other better than they ever have done since over century ago, when they were seperated by the blunder of a British Govern ment.''
 MT. Chamberlain proceeded to draw a gloomy picture of the situation in China where we have to count with Russia, as in Afghanistan, except that we do not possess an army or a de fensive frontier in China, and cannot, therefore, injure Russia without an ally. The fate of the whole Chinese empire is involved and our interests, so enormous that no more vital ques- ton was ever presented for decision to the British nation and g. British gov ernment. Unless the fate of China Is to be decided without England's voice, N[r ,11 ance with those powers whose inter ests are similar to ours."

LIVES LOST IN A SAN
 ANDREAS MINE DISASTER

SAN ANDREAS. May 13.--A gloom is cast over this community this evening by the loss of two citizens. while third lies lowering between life and death. The three were victims of an explosion in the Ford mine on the outskirts of town. They were at the bottom of the shaft, at a depth of TAO feet, when the accident oc- cured. Al Petite. the survivor of the trio, says:
 George Baird, the underground fore man, Charles Palmer and myself had just charged and touched off sixteen holes be- fore coming off the shift. All three climbed on the skip and signaled to hoist. Instantly one of the blasts was exploded, the shock knocking Baird and Palmer from the skip. I fell back into the skip and knew nothing more until brought to the surface"
 It is the general opinion of miners that the accident was caused by quick fuse which exploded before the unfortunate men had time to get out of harms way. All three victims of the accident were married, their families residing here. George Baird was prominent in Native Son circles, being member of Plymouth Parlor. Amador County. Charles Palmer was member of the local l. o. O. F.

Railroad Company Used Both to Prevent
Street Railway Crossing Its Track.
Chicago, Oct. 31.-An injunction and
an improyised wreck yesterday
brought to a sudden stop the work of
laying the tracks of the General Elec-
trio railwayon Plymouth Place south to
Fourteenth street, which was started
at midnight. On the petition of the
Chicago & Western Indiana railroad,
Judge Payne issued temporary in
junction restraining the construction
company from proceeding with the
work, which had been finished to the
Fourteenth street crossing of the Chi
cago & Western Indiana. Previous to
this, however, the railroad officials
had run four cars loaded with coal and
ice, at great speed into the Grand
Trunk warehouse at the disputed
crossing, completely wrecking the
cars and tearing a big hole in the
building, but also preventing any
further progress in the work of pre-
pairing the street car crossing. With
the injunction a squad of police were
sent to prevent the construction COM
pany from removing the obstruction.

DESERVING DEMOCRACY.
Another Prominent Disciple of JEFF
fersOn Has Ohucked Up
Organism.


One Of the leading German-American
citizens of New York city, Judge Neu,
has publicly abjured the democracy.
He was not silverite in 1896, but he
held fast to his party, nevertheless, re-
luctant to sever the political friendship
of lifetime. The reasons assigned for
his final resolve are so pertinent to the
case of every intelligent democrat, who
is at the same time a patriotic Ameri-
can, that they merit more than passing
notice.
Judge Neu had hoped that Altgeld-
ism and Organism, anarchy and free sill
yer. would prove short-lived; new issues
might come up and give the democracy
chance to move onward, leaving the
issues OF 1896 behind. New issues did
arise, but the democrats did not rise
with them. "They have not one word to
say" remarks Judge Neu of the party
in New York, ION the great, absorbing
questions brought to our attention by
the successful termination of the war"
Judge Neu was a democrat of the
school Of Jefferson, Monroe, jackson,
Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, and the
other democratic statesmen who for
90 years favored the enlargement of
American territory. He therefore con-
cluded that the time had come for him
to throw over the sham democracy
foisted upon the party by Altgeld, Bry-
an and Bailey. II believe" he says,
shat this country should retain every
inch of territory which has been ac-
quired by conquest, or which may be in
our power to acquire through our rep
resentatives on the peace commission" !"
He summarizes thus his argument for
expansions:
First, in the interest of humanity and in
common Justice we cannot abandon the
people in the Philippines to their greatest
most cruel and unreenting foe, the Span
lard, II our war was waged for humanity's IS
sake in Cuba. Second. because our release
OF these colonies to Spain would result
in the near future in their acquisition
either by purchase or by conquest by the
POWCL5 VI cuTOp6. 1HlIu, D6Cdubo OuI
great country has reached out into At
lantic, Caribbean and Pacific, and annexed
or will protect the people of the islands Of
Puerto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii in theii
attempts to establish free government
of their own, and because in the interest OF
our great and ever-growing commerce We
must reach out into the far east to fine
markets for the products Of our mines
mills and workshops, and the war has giver
US these opportunities. Our flag should
never be lowered where 1t once has beer
raised"
With this as his platform, Judge Neu
could not give his ballot to demo
cratic candidate for congress. He
therefore, has turned republican. His
reasons for the change should appeal tt
every voter in the United States
whether democrat or republican. They
apply to the issue and the parties ant
the congressional candidates in every
district of the country. In Chicago
they are as directly to the point as il
New York, and should be well weighed
by every democrat before he goes to tn,
polls on November S.-Chicago Intel
Ocean.

VIEWS ARE CHANGING.
Democratic Organs Are Twisting and
Turning Under the COuntry's
Prosperity.

Before the present political campaign
began the democratic journals admit
ted the prosperity of the country, but
credited it TO anything or everything
beside the republican tariff and the
restoration, due to Bryan's defeat, of
financial confidence But as soon as the
political fight got under way they dis
covered that there was no prosperity at
all, and they are now as lachrymose as
the worlkingmen were in the time of
the Gorman-Wilson law. "Where are
the good times that were promised usf"
has become a familiar headline in denA-
ocratic prints, though the whirr Of re-
vived machinery, the immense increase
in bank clearances, the renewal of rail
way building, the ease with which
money may be borrowed at low rates
on good security and the decrease in
failures and the ratio Of new mort
cages answer such questions before
they are asked.
The campaign has wrought another
kind of change in the spirit Of the dem
ocratic dream. While the war with
Spain was on they were so fearful of
being accused of unpatriotism that
they had species of chronic delirium
over the glories and triumphs of the
field. The victories won were not
enough, so whenever gun was fired at
sea they credited Sampson with Isl
lencing" Spanish forts, which, as mat
ter of fact, turned up as usual the next
day, and whenever a dozen scouts
landed in Cuba they had Blanco shiver-
ing In a bomb-proof Spread-eagleism
had its best examples in the democrat
10 papers up to the beginning of the
political campaigns, when these protean
prints suddenly discovered that the
conduct of the war was one long satur-
MALTA of disgrace. Admirals and gen.
erals were failures, the war department
was fraud, the bureaus were misman-
aged, our soldiers had died of cruelty
and neglect, and If the Spaniards sur
rendered 'at all it was because they did
not know any better.
However, 1t will not be very long be-
fore the democratic papers will re-
verse themselves again. Election day
is not far off, and when that is passed
they will begin to notice, particularly
in their afidavit-of-circulation depart
ments. that prosperity is doing busi-
ness at the old stand. And as for the
war, they will probably claim most Of
its glory for themselves and see that
the supply is not stinted. That is the
way Of politics, and the public may
bide In confidence the annual or bi-
ennial return of the democratic press
to political and historical sanity.

THE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED.
The Marvellous Achievements of the
Last Two Years Insure

At Clinton, Ia., President Mckinley

At Clinton, Ia, President Mckinley
said:
"We have gone from Industrial depres-
sion to Industrial activity. We have gone
from labor seeking employment to en-
ployment seeking labor We have abundant
currency, and we have an unsurpassed ma
tional credit; better than 1t has ever been
before In our history.
I'VE have, too, good national con-
science, and we have the courage of des-
tiny. We have much to be grateful for in
the stirring events Of the past six months.
The army and navy Of the United States
have won not only our praise, but the
admiration of the world. Our achieve
ments on land and sea are without
parallel In the worlds history. During
all these trying months the people of the
United States have stood together as one
man; north and south have been united.
People who think alike in a country like
ours must act together until the fruits Of
our war shall be embodied in solemn and
permanent settlements.
1--WE want no differences at home until
we have settled our differences abroad;
when that is done we can have our little
differences among ourselves"
At Logan, Ia, he said:
Remember that at this critical hour IN
the nations history we must not be d.
vided. The triumphs Of the war are yet
to be written in the articles Of peace
The president understands that a
question inseparably interviewer In
every election this fall is the express
sion of loyalty to the administration.
"The triumphs Of the war are yet to
Oe written in the articles of peace"
Republican defeat would be inter
preted at home as dissatisfaction with
the marvellous achievements of the last
two years, and would be read by Spain
as an encouragement to obstinate OBJ
struction.
