OSCAR GARDNER
BESTS S0LLY SMITH

:. NEW YORK, Feb. Oscar Gardner.
the Omaha Kid" defeated SoIy Smith
of Los Angeles, Cal, in six rounds at
the Lenox Athletic Club tonight. Smith
was unsteady on his feet from the
opening round and was unusually wild
Some persons thought he was under
the influence of some drug, but those
close to his corner were unable to say
whether this was so or not. Gardner
was not in the best Of condition, either,
but he fought remarkably well and out
classed his opponent from the first tap
of. the bell.
:: In the sixth round Smith went down
four times, and as he was going down
the last time Oscar sent right smash
to the jaw, which did not land until
Smith was on his knees. Smith rolled
over on his back and was counted out,
while his seconds yelled foul, and
many Of the spectators took up the cry.
The blow was on it's way as Smith was
going down and it could not be held
back By Gardner, who had no intention
Of foulfng. Referee White ruled that
no foul had occurred and decided In

He maintained that he die not want
to incorporate into our citizenship the
mongrel population of the Philippines
and inaugurate another race struggle
in the United States.
There are two cities in the Pacific"
said Tillman, "oyer which our flag
breaks to the breeze. Over the one it is
a harbinger of peace, good viii, pros
perity and liberty. Over the other
Manila-it is cold-blooded and deter
mined-to do what? To force upon
those people a government, whether it
be satisfactory to them or not"
F The debate on the -McEnery resolution
was concluded by Lodge in a brief
speech, in the course of which he re-
viewed the facts relating to the in
surrection in the Philippines against
Spain. Lodge explained that our forces
were in Manila in thorough accordance
with the laws of war. We succeeded to
the sovereignty of Spain. We had
never by any acts sought to Cypress the
people of those islands.
Their oppression" said he, has ex-
listed solely in the speeches that have
been delivered in the Senate of the
United States, but like all Orientals
they miStook kindness for timidity"
Speaking of the restraints placed
upon the American forces in the Philip
pines Lodge said:
The strongest orders have gone from
the President to General Otis and Ad-
miral Dewey to exercise the greatest
care in their treatment of the Filipinos
and not by word or deed to provoke
them. A fortnight ago General Otis,
in accordance with orders received
from the administration, officially in
formed Aguipaldo that he had no in
tention of making an attack upon the
Filipino troops.
What encouraged them to make the
attack l do not know. do know
that the representative of the Filipinos
here fed to Canada before the attack
was made. He knew-or I believe he
knew-that the attack was to be made
and believed it desirab BILE that he should
flee. The attack was made and it was
met as American soldiers and Ameri-
can sailors always meet such attacks
While these people are in arms against
US, it is not a time for us to meet them
with promises and extraordinary pro-
testations of good faith. We must
meet them in the same way that they
attack u.s.
Mr.. Lodge concluded by reiterating
his statement that it was his belief
that the Filipinos had made a precon-
certed and prearranged attack upon
our troops at Manila for the purpose
of influencing action on the treaty.
Mr.. Mason of Illinois, in giving no.
tice that he would use his every effort
to secure an early vote upon the reso-
luton, said that he did not consider
appropriation bills Of as great impor-
lance as the passage of the resolution.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then proceeded with.

'"The winter is without exception the
worst that has ever been experienced in
that part of the country There is not
a shrub or bunch of grass of any kind
visible between this city and Western
Wyoming along the railroad and it
would be impossible for the cattle to
find anything to eat even if the weather
were warm enough to excite them to
such an attempt. All along the line of
the Union Pacific the great white
stretch of endless prairie can be seen
dotted here and there with the car
cases of animals. Even should the
weather improve Immediately and the
snow clear off so that the cattle re-
manning can get something to eat the
loss will be almost incalculable, as
thousands of cattle are in the last
stages of suffering from cold and hun
ger. They have reached the semi
conscious state, when they begin to
look for something as support. From
the car windows the cattle can be seen
leaning back against the fences. OF
course. my information is only regard
ing the cattle along the railroad line,
but it is highly probable that the same
condition exists all over the State"
In Eastern Colorado, so far as posi-
BILE, range cattle are being fed, but if
the cold weather continues much longer
the supply of feed will be exhausted.

SHALL WE
SURROGATE
FILIPINOS?
* eep Out This MongreI
Race" Says SeDator
TilInuD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. For two
hours or more the Senate to-day had
the resolution 'declaratory of a policy
Of this Government in the Philippines
under discussion, but no vote was
reached and the resolution went finally
to the calendar. In accordance with
notice given yesterday Tillman ad-
dressed the Senate upon the resolution,
making a characteristic and pictur-
esque argument. He maintained that
clear, explicit and direct resolution
ought to be adopted, and not one that
was meaningless, and inconsequential.
He predicted that dire results would
follow the ratification of the treaty I'M
less the United States Government
treated the Filipinos with absolute
firmness and gave them self-guvern-
ment
Lodge (R.)i of Massachusetts followed
with a strong reply to Tillman, in
which he stated clearly and directly the
conditions as they confronted the
United, States in the Philippines.
The drststhing that strikes me-" said
Tillman, lin the reading of this resolu-
ton, is its absolute uselessness and it's
cold blooded purpose-its simple decla-
ration of purpose to buy and sell these
people of the Philippines for our own
interest,"
He said that never in his legislative
experience had he heard so many
speeches against proposition, follow
ed by so many votes in favor of the
proposition. To his mind it indicated
that certain Senators had yielded to
pressure. The ratification of the
treaty has determined the fact that in
law the Filipinos were rebels against
the United States. If they fired or
our flag they would be regarded as
rebels. That was the way the world
saw it. However, the trouble might
terminate, the Filipinos would be re-
garded as patriots who were fighting
for their liberty just as much as were
the American revolutionists. Said he:
IF any resolution is passed here we
ought to pass one bringing peace to
the Philippines, not disasters or worse
than nothing. The question now is:
Are we to take the place. of Spain as
taXmasters and tyrants?
"Of course" he continued, I'VE can
send tens of thousands of troops to the
Philippines, and, as the Senator from
Montana (Carter) said the other day
we can shoot those people to death; but
ought we to do 1t? Is it honorable fol
us to do it?"
Mr.. Tillman then read some verses
from Kipling's latest poem, The White
Mans Burden which he regarded as
exactly fitted to our case.
Every man in, this. chamber bu
five,"s said he, .'Who has had to do with
the colored race, voted against the
treaty. We of the South have borne

lone, Feb. Am attempt to rob the
lone and Jackson stage at o'clock this
morning, at a point about four miles
this side of Jackson and eight miles
above this city, was frustrated
through the bravery of Driver Peter
Podesta. Though seriously wounded
by volley from the bandits, who were
two in number-the proverbial tail
man and short one"-he applied the
whip to his horses and dashed down a
steep grade, pursued by cold lead from
the weapons of the road agents. Wells
Fargo Express Messenger Mcconnell,
who rode with the stage, was serious
ly wounded also, but he returned the
fire of the two desperadoes and sue
ceeded in wounding one of them. The
highwaymen were captured late this
afternoon at a point a few miles from
the scene of the attempted hold-up.
The attack upon the stage was one
of the most desperate that has ever
been recorded in the criminal annals of
this county. Without giving the driver
an opportunity to obey command to
halt, the two bandits commenced to
shoot. They shot to kill, too, and Po-
desta's escape from death was by the
narrowest of margins. The bandits
stepped from a clump of brush and
opened fire as the stage was rounding
curve.
Both highwaymen had shotguns. and
besides these one carried revolver
and the other man rifle. Smells
for the rifle found where the men
stood when the shots were fired show
that the rifle failed to explode its
shells, as the primers of the shells are
indented from contact with the firing
pin. After failing to use the rifle both
bandits used their shotguns. The dr1v-
er of the stage, Peter Podesta, was
shot through the right hand with two
buckshot and his coat was literally
riddled in front where it was blown
open by gust of wind just as the
bandit fired. Eleven buckshot pierced
the drivers outer clothing, and at least
four Of these went through his under
clothing and broke the skin on his
breast and abdomen. Podesta's home
is at Jackson. He was but recently
married.
R. E. Mcconnell, We.-s. Fargo &
Co.'S shotgun messenger from Jack
son to Stockton, was more seriously
wounded than was the driver Neon
nell was struck in the left arm by five
buckshot, three Of them passing
through the forearm, being now i'm
bedded in the bone, which is consid-
erably shattered. Another of the buck
shot is lodged between the bones of the
left forearm.
Instead of complying with the COM
mand, Halt" Driver Podesta ap-
piled the whip to his six horses and
came down the grade at break neck
speed, while blood spurted in streams
from his wounded right hand.
The scene Of the attempted hold-up
is about 200 feet above where Black
Bart robbed the same stage in 1891 and
about mile and a half above where
Messenger Tovey was killed on the
evening of June 10, 1893 Driver Po-
desta was interviewed by The Call rep

marked, is a question for the jury to
decide, but surely it is proper to apollo
gize for giving annoyance.
MY clients said Mr.. Carson, while
they do not admit the libel, are anxious
not to publish anything which may
cause annoyance"
1T cannot be said" replied the Lord
Chief Justice, that these personal
paragraphs are not sometimes very
annoying. This is the fringe of very
large question. One cannot fail to see
that there is a growing fashion, per-
haps copied from the press, with which
Mr.. Aston is better acquainted
than we are Qaughter), of publishing
paragraphs which are annoying.
"a paragraph appears in a newspaper
this morning regarding myself Qaugh-
teri enormously stating that 1 forced
my carriage through the Horse Guards
passage, notwithstanding the opposition
of the Guards, and an American paper
the other day, described a painful Incl
dent in my career. 1t said it had been
my duty in the position of president of
the divorce court to pronounce di-
vorce decree between myself and my
first wife. AS a matter of fact have
only had one wife, she is alive now, we
have never been divorced and / am not
president of the divorce court. Gaugh-
teri
Addressing Mr.. Carson the Chief Jus
tice said: II think your client ought to
apologize for publishing the paragraph
which has given annoyance to Mr.. As
tor"
To this Mr.. Carson replied: IL adopt
your lordship's suggestion absolutely.
The proprietors of the Daily Mail wish
me to say that they had no wish to
give annoyance, though some people are
annoyed by these things and others
are not. Gaughter) They regret they
gave annoyance to Mr.. Astor and apol-
ogize for so doing"
The case was then settled a juror
being withdrawn and the proceedings
came to an end.
Mr. Harmsworth's Evening News In
reporting the case says:
Mr. Astor is a cultured American who
