Whereas, at the August meeting Of

SEPARATE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE
VILLAGE OF BoGUE CHITTO.
Whereas it appears that In the State
distribution of the school fund for the
scholastic year 1S97-98, the village of
Bogue Chitto did not get the amount
to which it was entitled according to
the number of educable children i'm the
separate district thereof. And where
as it seems that said separate school
district was formed by resolution or
ordinance of the Mayor and Aldermen
of said village of Bogue Chitto after
the distribution was made, and this
board, not being advised of any statute
authorizing the payment of any fur
ther sum for the additional children
enumerated after said distribution,
asks the clerk of this board to commu-
nicate with the attorney general of the
State of Mississippi, and request him
to give the board an opinion touching g
this matter, so as to enable the board
to pay said village of Bogue Chitto the
amount to which it is legally entitled.
It is ordered, That the members and

MAHER GOT THE DECISION.
He Won a Victory Over Joe Goddard
After Two Defeats.

New York, July S.-Peter Maher de-
feated Joe Goddard in eight rounds to-
night at the Lenox Athletic Club. They
had been scheduled to fight twenty
five rounds with five Cnce gloves. God
dard had defeated Maher on two pre-
vious occasions and was the favorite
among the sporting element previous
to the fight. A large number of prom
inent sporting men were in attendance
and the usual preliminary talks of pro-
posed fights were INDUCED in but no
match was made.
Goddard administered a lot of hard
punishment to his adversary but re-
ceived a terrific pounding while he was
doing it. Goddard was cut a couple of
times, but the bell saved him, and
when he quit towards the end Of the
eighth round he was scarcely able to
stand on his feet. AT the same time
the fast work which both had gone
through from the beginning had told
on Maher and he was unable to land
a blow heavy enough to finish the Aus
tralian.
In the first round, after a lively ex-
change, Maher hooked his right to the
head and put Joe to the floor. God
dard's nose was bleeding when the
gong sounded. In the second, Cod
dard's defense was bad, and Maher got
at him frequently but did no material
damage. After some rough infighting
in the third, Goddard went down again
from left swing on the face. When
he got up Maher sent him down again.
At the close of the fourth Goddard got
in a couple of lefts on the head that
staggered Maher. Round five saw
Goddard again on the floor and he
stayed down nine seconds. Maher re-
peated the performance when Joe got
on his feet and the latter again took
nine seconds rest before rising This
next two rounds were full of hard hit
ting on both sides, but in the eighth
Maher brought his man to his knees.
The final round started lively, God
dard trying hard to reach Maher effect
lively, but Peter landed repeatedly on
head and face.
Goddard was now unable to defend
himself and held his head down with
the arms crossed in front of his face.
Maher went at him, but could not land
a Knockout blow. Goddard backed
away and stretched out his hand,
saying as he did so: 'This is more than
nature can stand" as he shook Makers
hand.
The referee then awarded the bout to
Maher.

that the Second Congressional district
will hold its convention at Elkins in Aug
ust to nominate a Democratic candidate.
There is no district In America that Is
more justly deserving of an able repre-

mating him. Let every Democrat and

the people and by the people stand firmly

that he could hardly walk, was picked
up by men from the United States gun
boat Annapolis to-day at point near
the entrance to the upper bay. He had

According to his story, there are many
Spanish soldiers in Guantanoma in the

there is absolutely nothing to eat there,

A captain and three privates from

AMERICAN NAVY
Loudly Praised by London Newspapers.
Say We Could Lick Germany.

London, July S.-Most of the weekly
papers think the moment opportune for
Spain to sue for peace, and they advise
her to do so.
The. Saturday Review says:
THE United States is in position to
act chivalrously toward an honorable
opponent, who, if defeated, is not dis
graced."
The Spectator has, however, little
faith in talk of peace, and does not be-
lieve Spain will make peace until liter
ally compelled.
The weeklies pay high tributes to the
American navy. The Speaker says:
THE Santiago fight proves that, SO
far as the fleet is concerned, the Uni
ted States need not fear comparison
/ rits-&.-A ~ tho world ,,
The Spectator draws as d conclusion
from the battle, the conviction that the
American feet could face even the
French fleet without great risk of dis
aster, and says: $50 far as the German
and American navies go, there would be
no comparison. A struggle between
them would be very short and very COM
plete, and it would surprise Emperor
William, who thinks himself invincible
but his self-confdence cannot alter his
tory"

TERRIBLE DESTITUTION.
Poor People Dying of Starvation in the
Streets at Havana.
Copyright, Associated Press.)


Kingston, Jamaica, July S.-The
British cruiser Talbot, which left Ha-
vana on Tuesday, July 5, arrived at
Port Royal to-day with % passengers,
among them Sir Alexander Gollan,
British consul general at Havana, and
MIR. Higgins, of the British consulate
there, both on leave, which is given as
the only explanation Of their departure.
Mr.. Jerome has been left in charge OF
British affairs in Havana.
MIR. Higgins said:
"The city Of Havana is quiet and
there are no new complications. The
well to do inhabitants are subsisting
tolerably, but the poor are dying Of
starvation in the streets. There are
many sights of terrible misery. The
barracks are filled with starving wo-
men.
1.-The soldiers are fairly well fed.
Gen. Pando has been sending troops
for Santiago, but do not see how they
will get there.
THE blockade is maintained and yes
sells are frequently turned back. Every
body is anxious for the conclusion of
the war, though the soldiers wish to
fight and all the officials are resolute.
There is no -four in Havana and no
fresh meat, while hams are scarce"
Sir Alexander Gollan declined to say
anything on the condition of things at
Havana.
The other passengers Of the Talbot
are for the most part female refu-
gees.

WITHOUT RESULTS.
Peace Discussions by the Spanish Cabinet
Have Amounted to Nothing.

LONDON, July s.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says:
The frequent cabinet discussions of the
peace question have been without result,
except that the ministers who had most
strongly advocated war. have assumed a
slightly more conciliatory attitude and
the field of discussion is somewhat mar
rowed.
THE government would probably pre-
fer suing for peace to suffering an indef-
mite blockade. but it fears the large body
of patriotic opinion in favor of resisting
to the bitter end If Cuba is blockaded.
1t is to be hoped that the Americans will
find some means of controlling the feroc-
ity of their savage allies. A profound
impression has been made here by the
rumors that the Americans had handed
over Spanish prisoners to Cuban insur-
gents, who beheaGed them"
