German Nce-consul at lilo Ilo 10 take

Tho two consuls wired to Berlin for

answer:
The German empire, being a neutral
power, is not in position to take charge

construed as Partially to Spain. All we
endeavor TO obtain in the Philippines Is
protection and the unrestricted movement
OF our commerce. Since we see that both

never arise situation which could cause
us to deviate from the strictly neutral

The splendid practice Of the American
gunners has galvanized the British into
critical interest In their own navy and
the results OF the inquiries made are not
very reassuring. The performance OF
ths Mediterranean fleet. supposed to be
the crack British fleet. is far from salts
factory. The results OF the heavy and
light gun prize firing Of 1895 just pub
Iished shows that with heavy guns $50
rounds were fired at eight knots. and that
the percentage OF hits were 80 With the
6-inch quick firers. steaming Y knots.
the average was also 30 per cent and
with the maxim guns the average was
46 per cent, The 6-inch quick firers are
the most used gun In the British SER
vice. and the papers point out that It IS
evident that even the crack squadron
has much to learn regarding their use.
In the case of the smaller weapons the
results were even more disadvantageous
and this without the disconcerting effect
Of hostile fire. The papers now ask
If It is not time that measures be taken
to make gun practice something more
than a perfunctory exercise, as in the
case of man Of the British ships.

In behalf OF the trustees. II is pointed out
that the buildings are managed at

About five hundred sports from Can
ton and vicinity witnessed the boxing
carnival given in the tent at the Amer
lean village under the auspices OF the
Canton Athletic club, Tuesday night.
AS early as $50 p. M, the street cars
carried many people to the scene and
later cars were crowded to their utmost
capacity.
The ring occupied the center OF the
spacious canvas, and was surrounded
by reserved seats, which were crowded
with enthusiasts and at S:45 p. m. the
crowd was pushing on the ropes on the
outside of the reservrd seats and yell
ling for tie principals. Several bets
of 2 to at this time were made on Bill
" Moore. who was to fight Peter Tray
nor, and during the evening Traynor
received the short end Of the many bets
that were made.

CROWD CRIES FAKE.
Spectators Make a Noisy ClamOr to
Get Their Money Back After
the Fistic FiascO.

When the fight was seen to be
fuke cries of flake" and "money back"
came from the crowd as they rushed
from the arena. Many crowded in lit
tie groups outside the canvas denounc-
ing the management of the Athletic
club, claiming the whole affair as
''put up job" The many friends OF
Moore and Moore himself were sorry
the way the affair ended and Traynor
was denounced as "quitter" by the
crowd as they made their way to the
street cars.
Fully fifteen minutes elapsed after
the fight before greater part of the
crowd left the tent. They were still
clamoring for and yelling for their
money.
Mat Bast OF the American village
where the event took plack, stated to
many persons that he was not interest
ed in the affair in any way, only rented
his ground to the Athletic club for the
carnival. Just who the Canton Athlet-
ic club is, did not appear on the menu
cards. A few Canton men were inter-
ested in the matter as promoters.

STOLE A TRAILER.
Gang Of Sports Would Not Pay Ten
Cents Extra and the Trailer Was
Left at the Switch.

The most amusing feature of the
evening occurred while enroute to the
city on the street cars. A second Sec
tion consisting OF one motor and three
trailers and with several hundred of
the local sports aboard, was rolling
along at rapid rste, when near the
fair grounds, the cars came to a sud-
den stop. Upon inquiring as to the
delay 1t was found that the conductor
had attempted to collect 10 cents as
the fare from the lake to the city. The
crowd refused to pay the necessary 10
cents whereuPon the conductor stopped
the train declaring that the passengers
would either have to pay the required
amount or walk into the city, which
was mile and half distant. This
was not a promising outlook at l
o'clock in the morning. Many jumped
from the cars and started to walk,
while others appeared to the conduc-
tor, but to no avail. After q delay of
ten minutes the cars started, and at
the junction where the cars
turn into Tuscarawas street, the
train stopped again. In moment the
conductor uncoupled the motor from
the trailers ana started at 4O-mile-an-
hour clip down Tuscarawas street, leay.
ing the crowd behind to walk home.
Many cries of "let's get even with the
str ,et car company" and "dump the
trallers in the ditch" were heard, but
1T was finally decided by unanimous
vote to ride in on trailer. One trailer
was uncoupled from the others and
pushed around the curve by the crowd
and given start. There is a gradual
down grade short distance from the
junction and after q good start nearly
a hundred people jumped on the trailer
and started merrily homeward. But
this did not last long. At the switch
near the old ball grounds, the car
left the track. Everybody got off the
Car and after few moments DELAY the
car was placed on the track and again
started on its homeward trip. AT
the east end of the switch the
car again jumped the track.

FIRST BOUT.
1t Was Warm One and the Principals
Was Pretty Well Battered
About

The first bout was between John Nc
Glenn, OF Cleveland, and Herbert Lacy
of Canton. This was Is round go to
decision at 100 pounds for a purse OF
$780,
At 9:2O the principals of this fight
entered the ring with their seconds
and officials amid great cheering and
applause from the admirers OF both
contestants.
Mr.. Lou Eckert, as announcer, said
that jeff Powers, of Cleveland, an old
Canton favorite and champion light
weight pugilist of Ohio had been Sc
lected as referee. Mr.. Powers is q
clever gentleman and from the way he
refereed the fights showed that he had
much experience and was received
with great applause from his fair and
impartial decisions during the fight
Billy Kelley, of Philadelphia, and
Edward Quinn, of Canton, acted
as seconds for McGlenn and
John Fotch and Peter Jackson, OF this
ClUyJ lOT hClD Lazy hS oAh'Ni ""S
Mr.. D. Jones, OF Massillon.
The match started in earnest, both
fighting hard from the beginning. Dur
ing the fight McGlenn showed great
cleverness and scientific fighting and
had the best OF Lacy during the first
rounds. The first blood was drawn by
Lacy, in the Sth round, hitting Nc
Glenn hard punch on the nose. In
the 9th another rap on the nose caused
more bleeding. At the end OF the 10th
round, Lacy went through theropes and
intended to leave the ring, claiming
that his hand was hurt, and at first he
and his seconds thought it was broken,
He was loudly cheered as he
entered the ring as the bell rang for
the 11th round. The remaining rounds
were good ones, both fighting hard
and especially Lacy, despite
his wounded hand. At the
sound of the bell, announcing
the end of the 18th round and the end
of the fight, both repaired to their cor
ner, seeming in good condition and
not much the worse for wear for the
one hours bout. Referee Powers, In
making his decision, stated that Nc
,Glinn had the best of the fight in the
first rounds, and Lacy in the last
rounds, and he thought honors were
even and the best he could do was to
call the fight draw.

CRIED FOUL.
TraynOr Quit the Ring and the Big
Bout Of the Evening Was a
Complete Fizzle.

About As minutes elapsed before the
contestants OF the second exhibition
made their appearance. This was to be
between Joe Polezinsky and Ed Fore
man, promising featherweights of Can
ton, six rounds for decision. Difficult
ty occurred between the principals and
the management at the club with re-
gard to the purse and Polezinsky an
nounced that their fight was declared
off. Another long wait then occurred
before the main fight of the evening
between Moore and Trayor, it being
claimed by Moore's adherents that
Traynor had not posted his forfeit
money After much wrangling the
matter was arranged and at 1l:30 Moore
and Traynor entered the ring and were
introduced to the crowd. Traynor was
introduced as the champion middle
weight OF Pennsylvania, and Moore, OF
