THIS SHOULD sE rTLE A FALSE
RUMoR

Before President Dole left our
shores he kindly accorded an inter
view to the local representative of
the San Francisco Call. At the re-
quest OF a number OF influential
gentlemen, whose political opinions
do not accord with those OF The In
DEPENDENT, for Information in regard
to the special point referred to, The
Call correspondent has placed a
a portion of that interview at our
disposal.
Said the correspondent "There
is an impression in town, MI. Presi-
dent, that you 90 to Was hington as
the sequence of an invitation or a
suggestion from President Mckinley,
members Of his Cabinet, or persons
so closely allied to him as to antici.
pate his wishes. Is this so?"
Very forcibly and with some
slight display Of feeling, Mr. Dole
promptly answered.:
Most absolutely not. Please con-
tradict that impression. | have re-
ceived no communication from Mr.
Mckinley VIII atever, nor have 4 had

terested. The result, whatever may
be the motives, is that it is feared
that only the Family Compact and
few directly interested in their
fate stand solidly behind the actual
Government, and while there may
be no sentiment OF open revolt, in
the sense Of civil turmoil or disturb
ance, there is an un nplessant feeling
OF lack of support, especially when
that support may be most needed.
The Presidents mission to his-and
our--protecting Brother President
is to notify him Of these impressions

say to him, eve have -calculat-
ed our strength.-We cannot hold

A Thing Best Left Undone.

The advocates Of annexation have
great deal to say about manifest
destiny, but they have not succeeded
in hiding under large words these
facts-that the United States has
never annexed an island, that il it
now proceeds to annex Hawaii it
will make sharp change OF policy,
a change which will lead very far,
though how FAR or into what dangers
no man can wholly foresee. Among
the things which Congress is almost
certain to do at this session the
annexation of Hawaii is the thing
best worth leaving undone.-Mil-

could be obtained for property of

A FAKE FIGHT.
Thomas j. sharkey Wins With All
Bets Off.

New York, Nov. 22.-"Sharkey
wins; referee declares all bets off"
That was the startling announce
ment made tonight in the Lenox
Athletic Club, where more than
$4,000 was spent by the public to
see a twenty fight between
James j. Corbett and Thomas j.
Sharkey. Nearly 10000 persons who
heard the decision groaned and
Kissed, ragged and fumed, called the
men in the ring hard names and
then went, swearing, out into the
rain.
Corbett lost because Con McVey,
his sparring partner, who was one
OF his seconds, entered the ring
about the middle of the ninth
round, when the fighters were hug
ging each OF her in a clinch. Police
men and others tried to stop him.
The crowd saw him climbing desper-
ately through the ropes, screamed
"Foull" and demanded that he de-
sist. He went on, exclaiming to
"Honest John" Kelly, the referee:
"Why don't you get them apart9"
Corbett saw him after second
and knew that his fight was gone.
His temper got to fever heat in a
trice aud in the clinch he struck
Sharkey again and again, and Kelly
had difficult job to get the men
away from each other.
Referee Kelly told The Call cor
respondent later that he believed in
his heart that the interruption was
a prearranged affair in Corbett's
corner, and the reason he declared
bets off was that he could not stand
by and see the public robbed.
Meanwhile thousands of threats
were believing out denuuciations.
More than thousand shouted
"Fake" aud fully as many yelled
that Corbett was growing weak and
could not win, and was saved the
humiliation of knockout by the
unwarranted action Of McVey, who
has been in and around the priz,
ring for years, and knows that 1

fight loses the battle for his princi
