yelled for him TO get up and he managed
to reach his knees at seven seconds and
struggled to his feet at ten. O'Flarity
would have finished him in another punch,
but the gong sounded.

The Hebrew Ruce in Ru,.iu.

'Petersburg Correspondence of the London Post
That the importance of the regulations
recently published with regard to the po-
siiion of Jewish merchants in Moscow is by
no means imaginary is proved by the sat
isfaction expressed by the "Novoe Vre-
mya' at their PRONUNCIATION. This journal
has for many years been marked by anti
Semitic feeling of the bitterest description,
and it is invariably found to support any
measures calculated to restrict the actiy-
ity of Jews in Russia. According to its
latest utteranees on the subject the laws
which at present define the position of
Jews are by no means too severe Jews
have been able TO settle in the great towns
which offer such a fine field for their en-
terprise, and have fastened not only on
their trade. but also on the so-called lib
eral professions. In st. Petersburg. for
instance, the headquarters for Russian
finance and the chief money market of the
empire. nearly all the banks are in the
hands of the Jews.
In Moscow. the chief centre of Russian
commerce, where in 1880, "to,the shame of
the Moscow merchants" petition was ad-
dressed TO the Emperor praying that Jews
might. on account of their numbers and in
fiuence, be allowed to reside unmoIested
in the district. the laxity OF the laws has
encouraged not only the richer Jews, but
also mass OF smaller people who followed
them in the guise of clerks or servants.
and adopted some trade as screen for
usufy and all the Jewish arts" to obtain
great influence in mercantile matters and
also to acquire control of the local press
This state of affairs will be altered by the
new regulations. They are not retroactive.
but they will impose real restrictions on
the future settlement of Jews in Moscow
and other towns of that district. and OH
their participation in the local management
of trade affairs. Their PRONUNCIATION, con-
cludes the writer. will make a deep i'm
preston on Russian society and will be
accepted as a proof that the principles OF
Russian policy with regard to the Jews re-
main unaltered.

A TOUGH WESTERN TOWN.
La CIahache. in British Columbia,
Bears OF the Palm.

Seattle Correspondence New York Worldly
Up in the mountains of British Columbia
new tough town has sprung up, which is
in fair way to win a worse reputation
than Dodge City. Kan, or Tombstone,
Ariz The town in question is La Cla-
hache and it has for inhabitants less than
1000 miners. The strange part about it is
that La Clahache won its reputation for
downright toughness in one night, just as
the miners gained the wealth they reck
lessly spend in one big lucky strike,
Law in La Clahache is a back number
except for the rude regulations which the
miners enforce to protect their property.
There is a premium on everything of
sporting nature and nothing can be too
bad for the miners. The town has only
one dozen fighting turkey gobblers but
nearly every miner has either prize bull
dog or game pup. Gambling runs wide
open all the time and saloons never close.
There are some wonderful, poker players
among miners, but that is another story.
Sunday. April l, was day of fame for
La Clahache. One of the most bloody
prizefghts in the history OF the ring was
fought on green turf that afternoon for
purse of $1,000. II lasted fifty rounds and
at the end of four hours of fighting the
ground was running with human blood.
A bacchanalian dance in Somerset Hall
followed, which rivals anything in histo-
ry. Scores OF women had been imported
from the surrounding camps and case after
case OF champagne. All of the scenes
which followed could not be put on paper
Men and women. reckless with wine. went
to every extreme-a madder scene was
never seen before.
According TO the story of the affair re-
ceed here today. there had been bad blood
between Tar Flat" BROWN of Sarr Fran
cisco, and Jack O'Flarlty, of Cork Ire
land, for several weeks. Every time the
listic abilities of either were discussed in
local barrooms words that would not sound
well in Sunday school were spoken and
bets were made pro and con that one could
knock the other out in quicker time than
1t took Fitzsimmons to double up Pom
padour' Jim Corbett at Carson City.
Brown and O'Flarity did not speak to
each other. and as they had no press agents
1t came down to point OF fight. Money
is free in La Clahache. and a $1,000 purse
was soon secured. The men trained faith
fully. and in addition to punching the bag
and putting black eyes on local aspirants
for pugilistic honors. donned killing sweat
ers and ran up and down through mountain
roads.
Sunday broke clear and bright, all was
ready for the fight and there were no re-
formers to prevent festivities. Sporting
men came from towns $50 miles away.

In reply to a question If he knew the
name Of the prisoner. the witness replied
that the man who did the shooting had
told him his name was Armistead Taylor
but that he was known also as Humphrey
Taylor, Humphrey Brown. and Buck"
Brown. The witness testified that since
his arrest the prisoner had admitted that
he struck Mrs. Rosenstein. but that John
Brown and his uncle. who is now under ar
rest at Rockville, struck Louis Rosen-
stein. The witness supplemented that re-
mark with a statement that Taylor had
been identified by several persons from
Montgomery county as the man wanted
for the murder committed at Slidell Sat
urday morning.
Taylor Makes No Statement.
At the conclusion of the testimony of
Detective Burroughs Coroner Carr asked
the prisoner if he desired to make any
statement reminding him that he need. not
do so unless he felt so inclined. Taylor
said he was aware of the fact that he
could not be compelled 10 say anything
and in answer to the coroner's question re-
piled. NO sir, nothing more than what
I've said about the shooting" Then you
do not want TO make a statement" interro-
gated Coroner Carr. to which Taylor re-
piled, No. SIR" This concluded the testi-
mony and Taylor was led back to his cell
and locked up, after which he was taken TO
the District jail. The jury retired and
shortly afterward returned its verdict as
stated above.
Taylor Photographed.
Previous TO being taken to the Jail Tay-
lor was photographed by the District au-
thorities. Taylor arose at an early hour
yesterday morning. He spent a restful
night and appeared thoroughly composed.
He talked with a number of policemen, ex-
pressing TO each his deep regret for the
killing OF Sergeant Passau. Taylor stoutiy
maintained that at the time he did the
shooting ha had no idea that his pursuers
we're officers of the law. After talking at
some length, but always in answer to a
question, and not once uttering a volun-
tary statement, Taylor was served with
breakfast He parteok heartily. and evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed the meal. At the concu-
sion OF the meal Taylor resumed his seat
on the iron bench In his cell, occasionally
rising when questioned by the many per-
sons who interrogated him. The man was
apparently not impressed with the fact
that preparations were going on in the sta
tion for establishing the fact that he was
the murderer of Sergeant Passau. On the
contrary. time seemed to hang heavy on
bis hands, and IL was with the semblance
of a sigh OF relief that Taylor welcomed
the policeman who unlocked his cell door
an hour after breakfast to take him into
the juryroom.
