THE TWO BIG FIGHTERS
The Records of the Men Who Will Struggle
for the Championship.

People were slow to conesde tina, the man
who defeated Jack Dempsey on January II,
1891. was a fighting marvel. although Mike
Donovan of the New York Athletic club pre-
cicted at the time that this new star In the
Bstic ARMAMENT could hold the niddlowelght
championship fer ten years to come. Fi1-
simmons kept steadily along, and at length
reached point where Champion Corbett was
compelled to recognize him. Even up to that
contest there were those who whispered that
Fitzsimmons possessed a streak OF yellow.
This. the last OF their assertions. was efectu
ally dispfcved in the memorable contest at
Carson City on March II. 1881. Corbett nun
ishing him badly in the opening rounds, but
he never wavered. and fought dogsedly on
until his end was accomplished and the vel
low streak theory relegated to the region Of
Imagination.
He thus demonstrated that he possessed alt
the qualifications that go to make uD a cham

These he stll has. but now comes the bug.
nboo OF age and on this point the coming
battle will hinge Has deterioration begun
with the eutopped Champion some there
are who think 1t has, but the majority are
willing to pin their iaitn on this wonderful
fighting II eak. Certain it is that Fitzsiminons
has not aged in appearance, and he himself
asserts that he is better now thnn ut any
stage OF his career. Born with an iron con-
stitution strengthened BY vigorous work in
his younger days the champion is today as
young and vigorous as many men Of %.
So, on the verge of the contest. Fitzsim-
mons is the same confident. aforementioned
man. full of belief that he alone is champion
and that none can withstand him.

He will 20 into the contest with no thought

Fitzsimmons is fighter by Instinct and
these are the most dangerous kind.

Henry Clews' weekly financial re-
view notes the fact that the general
business situation is highly promising
Nearly all the principal industries are
actively employed. and the iron trade
is experiencing a boom beyond all pre-
cedent. An extraordinary fact is the
comparative absence of speculation
The mills are crowded with orders for
goods that are wanted for actual con-
sumption; and for once in history at
least the Spectator has failed to an
ticipate future wants. Another strik-
ing feature is the uniform belief that
we are to have one or two years of
prosperity like the present with little
interruption. The world and especial
ly the United States, is recovering sew
eral years of retarded growth with a
rush. In about a year, however, pro-
duotion will have partially caught M
with consumption, and we may then
expect some abatement of activity.
The numerous advances in wages. and
the starting of new enterprises will
suffice to carry us along for a consid-
able period. Crop prospects are not I'M
favorable. There is every likelihood of
our having an average amount of
wheat for home and foreign consume
ton. with prospects of a good demand
on the latter account Corn promises
well; railroad earnings show very
handsome gains. The political future
contains many perplexng questions: but
they are not of sort that will serious
ly affect business. The next session ne
Congress will be viewed with mucb
less concert than its predecessors. NOT
the least because both parties will,
avoid giving offense previous n .
presidential election.

Valley and farmland meet the West,
Purple and gold and green;
Orchard and vineyard. song and rest,
Where their old-world wars have been
Over the cleaners lightly sings
The lark to the falling sun,
Over that grave of far-off things
And old wars lost and won
And over the hills where long ago
Strange old-world warriors met
How sweet the purple vineyards grow,
How well the fields forget,

There's another hunter who hunts to

to have that uneasy feeling in the stom-

these little things are among the minor
marks of disordered condition of the

pathway to some deadly disease.

August will be a great month for
civilized world will center around the
Dreyfus trial in France, but there are
to be two trials in Spain which are of
peculiar interest to this country. Cen
eral Toral is to be tried for the sur
render of Santiago, and General
Juadenes for giving up Manila. Both
are now in prison, and it is the inten-
ton of the military prosecutor to de-
mand that both be imprisoned for life,
losing all honors, rank and pensions
The treatment of these officers is an
ether instance of the barbarity of
Spain. Both men surrendered to
superior forces, in order to prevent
useless loss of life. The trouble with
them was that the United States forces
did not follow the traditional ma
mana" policy of Spain and allow the
besieged forces to communicate with
the home government They Were
driven into corners where further pro-
lOngation of the struggles would only
have led to useless blOOdshed. Yet
Spain is prosecuting them on the
ground that they did not communicate
with the home government for instruc-
tons and that the Spanish honor was
sullied by their surrender. So, to
satisfy the Spanish honor the military
prosecutor will proceed to add to
did all that bravery demanded and il
was not their fault that they did not
ask for instructions from Spain.
