CAUGHT A TARTAR.
Young Power of the ivy Lear Company
Furnishes a Tough.

S"o"os 'OuBn.
There WAS an extra act at IIothrop's
Opera House. yesterday afternoon, not
down on the program, and there was
present but limited audience. Nature
served as the scenery. there we're no
footlights there was no rnusio save the
Walling Of one OF the actors IN the
tragedy, and the scene was enacted
within five minutes
1t all happened In the alley way lead
ing from Pearl street to the rear OF the
opera house. Just before 3 O'Clock Will
lam ]. Power, q son OF the owner of
The Ivy Leaf company, which has
been on the boards at Lothrop's the
past week, accompanied by one of the
lady members Of the company. was
coming to the theatre and had nearly
reached the entrance, when man ap-
preached the pair and made a jeering
remark TO the lady. 4h45
Mr. Power rebuked him for the act.
and then the fun began. The man
oraced himself and made a Iunge at
Power who by this time comprehend
ed the situation. Warding off the blow.
he returned the unseemly salutation
and struck hls antagonist a blow
squarely on the jaw, causing blood to
now in profusion. The man was felled
TO the ground. but quickly regained his
composure and began the fight again
with VIII. Mr.. Power was prepared for
ohe Tray and this time succeeded in lay
ing his man out with one well directed
blow
The man retired soon after and his
Identity was clouded in obscurity. Mr..
Power did not recognize the man and
cannot account for the act During the
fight the lady escaped into the theatre
and solitary boot black was the only
witness OF the act
II was learned last evening that Mr..
Power holds the featherweight boxing
championship of the southwest. and his
encounter yesterday lost him no medals
but won for him new laures.

MEAT FAMINE.
The Threatening State of Affairs Existing
In South Africa.

Washington, Jan. Moving to the
terrible ravages of tine Rinderpest and
the prolonged drought South Africa
is threatened with meat famine Dur
ing the year ended May 81 last, accord
ing to report to the state department
from United States Consul Stowe at
Cape Town, no less than / 1000 head
OF cattle were lost from these causes.
while in the same time the loss of
sheep was 2,0S6, 900 in many districts
the drought has become worse since
May; all over the country the farmers
are selling their breeding stock for
slaughter and the price of meat is
rapidly rising. In the cities it sells now
from 80 to 40 cents per pound for beef
and 20 cents for mutton Prices for
living are mounting to the danger
point American -four and corn meal
are being imported, the demand for the
latter being beyond the supply. AL
together, says the consul, the outlook
for a large trade with the United
States in cereals is good, and he re-
grets only that the United States can
not share in the large prospective sales
of frozen meat

FACE VALUE OF POLICY.
Woman Receivers Insurance
Held by Her Husband, Who Was
Lost On the Portland.

Providence, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Julian e.
Buckminster, whose husband was lost
on the steamer Portland, has just re-
ceved from an insurance compap' the
face value of the policy held by FER
husband. Mrs. Buckminster submitted
afidavits to show that her husband had
the intention of going to Portland by
the steamer on the night the steamer
Portland sailed to her fate, and that he
had not been seen since leaving Provi-
dence. The case at point is interesting
as being perhaps the first life insurance
policy settled growing out of the Port
land disaster and being done upon the
circumstantial evidence was entirely
summed up in the wife's statement: II
have had no positive or direct evidence
that he sailed on this steamer except
his declaration to me before he left
home that he would sail.''

WILL MODIFY.
Such is the Probable Action
Of General Eagan.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE key to the
solution of the difficulty between Gen.
Eagan and Gen. Miles was today in the
hands Of the former.
The war commission having called
upon him to modify his statement,
nothing can be done until he either has
revised his first declaration or has no
titled the commissioners of his refusal
to do So 1t is confidently expected
by the best informed officials that the
cammissary general will modify his
statement to meet the criticisms Of the
commission. He himself will make
no statement touching his purpose
Today he was asked the plain question
as to whether or not he would comply
with the commissions request. He de-
clined to reply, limiting his answer to
the statement that ne had 30 far taken
no action. However, as already indi-
Gated, there is the best reason to be-
lieve he will amend the statement. The
document is long and the mere me
chanical work involved in altering 1t
to meet the needs Of the case, would
consume much time, So that it is not
to be expected 1t would be ready for
the commission today supposing that
Gen. Eagan was disposed to amend it,
Gen. Miles came early to his office.
but ne had nothing to contribute. His
position is as already stated that the
matter is one for the department to
treat and that 1T is not incumbent upon
him to make any statement at present.
The Eagan incident was devoid of de-
velopments at the war investigation
commission today. There was a great
interest taken by the members of the
commission in the statements made in
the aftermath. Unofficially, word has
reached the commission that Gen.
Eagan is carefully expunging the vi
Imperative and objectionable portions
and will shortly send it back to the
commission. When received it will be
carefully scrutinized by the commission
and If it be found that all the objection
able language ds eliminated it will be
voted upon In executive session and
probably accepted.
Commissary General Eagan denied
himself to visitors during the afternoon
and was closeted with two officers of his
corps, the belief being that he was de-
voting himself to a revision of the state
ment that has excited so much atten-
ton. Meantime the officers Of the war
department give no intimation Of their
Intentions respecting this matter.
though it is suspected that the presi-
dent has in mind some method of indi-
eating his displeasure at the occurrence.
