CORBETT AND MCCOY
A Rush for Seats to See the Battle-The
Sheriff Will Interfere

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Since the
Horton law legalized boxing contests in
the state of New York there never has been
such a rush for seats at fistic exhibition
as is now coming in daily to the Haw-
thorne Athletic club officials Of this city
before which club Corbett and Mccoy will
meet on the 10th day of next month. Today
over $4,000 was received for seats alone,
while scores Of applicants for seats were
turned down, the membership application
not being inclosed. Nearly every foot of
the lumber to be used in the building is on
the ground and the contractors have re-
ceived first payment in check for $4,000.
At an Observation-Disclosures meeting of
ministers held here today to take action
to prevent the fight between Mccoy and
Corbett, the following letter from the
sheriff was read by Bishop Qugley:

The Government Assuming Grave Re

Porto Rico and Cuba

BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. 1l.-Justice
David J. Brewer Of the Supreme Court.
who has come from Washington, will
spend the remainder of the summer at his
cottage at Thompsons Point. He said in
regard to peace negotiations:
Peace is now certain. 1 do not know
what the terms will be, and 1 can only
guess at what may be agreed upon by the
two nations. They will compel the sur
render of Porto Rico to the United States
and Its evacuation by Spain Evacuation of
Cuba brings to us as nation grave re-
sponsibility, and the aftermath of the con-
test may prove much more troublesome
than the war Itself. We proclaimed when
the resolutions passed Congress that we
would free Cuba and that we did not want
1t ourselves. Now If we drive the Spanish
from Cuba and leave her without any
forcible interference, 1t will be greater
ruin than to have lef; the Spanish there.
We owe to Cuba to preserve her by force,
whether it may be one, two or five years,
until she shall prove herself capable of
self-government. / believe that to leave
Cuba without an established government
to hold her people in check would be to
precipitate horrors worse than those Of
the French revolution. Our obligation to
Cuba Is not fulfilled until the complete es-
Establishment of self-government. Taking
possession of Porto Rico is called by men
of the army and navy a wise precaution.
I suppose every civilian should abide by
their judgment. We have, however, to
manage the island, which Is a matter of
| the gravest difficulty. The inhabitants
are not fit for self-government. The colo
NAL administration, such as European ma
| tions have established, seems to usa viola
/ ton of our ideas of self-government. l
| suppose we will have to try though. The
possession of Hawaii seems justified by
arguments of military and naval men that
| the people are easy of government and not
| turbulent or quarrelsome.' think Senator
Hoar's speech on this matter is the best
| resume Of the subject pro and con which
have seen.
$50 far as the Philippines are concerned,
some men high in authority have told us
we must have at least a coaling station
there. Beyond that. while we do not know
the Presidents views upon the matter,
think we should be relieved from RESPONSE
| bility as soon as we can fairly. 1 am d.

colonial system in that portion Of the

A PLAIN PLATFORM
MISSOURI DEMOCRATS CLOSE
THEIR CONVENTION
Declare the WarIs Just and Necessary
but Criticise the Actions Of the
Treasury Department

| SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, Aug. 1.-The
| Democratic state convention came to an
end shortly after II O'Clock tonight, having
nominated the following ticket:
| Judge of the supreme court dong term),
William c. Marshall.
| Judge of the supreme court (short term,
Leroy b. Valiant
| State superintendent Of public schools.
William II. Darlington.
Railroad and warehouse commissioner,
William E. McCully.
| The platform, as reported by the commits
tee was adopted without change, synop-
sis of which follows:
| The resolution begins with q re-indorse-
ment of the Democratic national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896 and a renewed
demand for the free coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of 16 to l without waiting
for the consent of any other nation. Con-
| fdence in w. j. Bryan as the leading ex-
ponent of these principles is expressed.
The Republican party is censured for the
non-enforcement of antitrust laws.
The platform then reads: We assertthet
the declaration Of war against Spain was
justified by the causes. which called it
forth. We direct attention to the fact that
the national Republican administrat ton,
backed by the Republican majority in con-
gress was opposed TO war and yielded only
after a long delay to strong public senti.
ment, aroused by the first and persistent
demands of Democratic senator's and repre-.
sentatives, foremost among whom were
those from Missouri and for their pant in
forcing the Republican president and con-
gress to defend the rights of our country
we extend them our hearty congratulate
tons
| Confident that the war could have been
prosecuted to a successful and speedy end
without increasing the interest bearing
debt of the people, we denounce the issue Of
millions of bonds as both unwise and I'M
necessary. as the expense of the war could
have been met by the coinage of seignior-
age In the treasury and the issuance Of
non-interest bearing treasury notes. And
we indorse the course of our Democratic
senator's and representatives in opposing
| their issue. ...e4r --4 rt
The convention, by acclamation. re-
| elected Sam B. Cook chairman of the DEM
ocratic central committee. Adjourned.

Without Punishment Of the
Guilty

CORINTH, Miss, Aug u.-At an early
hour today an organized mob Of $50 ma ked
men went to the county Jail and demanded
the person of Mullock Walker who was
charged with criminally assaulting Charles
Dazell with a sandbag about three miles
south of town last Wednesday, since which
time Mr.. Dazel has been in critical con-
dition and his life despaired of.

the mob was firm and would allow no
parleying and Jailer Berry turned the
negro over to the mob. Walker was taken
TO the most central part of town in front
of Rubel Il Company's store on Fillmore
street and hanged to the cross arm of one
of the telegraph poles.
Walker confessed his crime and impli-
Gated two other negroes in some of his
various crimes.
Part Of the mob was sent to the power
house and compelled the electrician to turn
the lights out, and for a block in each di-
rection the sidewalks and streets were
lined with men and boys, looking on the
grewsome proceedings.
