round of a twenty-round go. Parker
failed TO adopt his usual aggressive
tactics, winning out by his superior
hitting powers and the inability of
Moriarity to successfully block the ter
rife right and left jabs.
Parker frequently had his man at his
mercy, but Moriarity was game and
took a. fearful lot of punishment Early
in the tenth round Parker landed a left
hook on Moriarity's wind and the latter
was counted out. Parker was strong

Visit of Cruiser Montgomery TO
Coast of Liberia.
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED
OBJECT PROBABLY TO SECURE
CoALING STATION.
It Has Been Known For Some Time
However, That the West African
Republic Has Been DESTROYS of
Securing the Protection of the
United States.

New York, Dec. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Il de-
veloped today that the United States
cruiser Montgomery has been on a Sc
cret mission to Liberia, Africa, per-
formed, it is believed, with view to
displaying the American flag in Liber-
ian waters and the location of a site for
an American coaling station on the Lii
berian coast.
While officials of the navy department
maintain that the cruise was of an or
binary character, it is significant that
it has been kept profound mystery up
to this time, none of the vessels move
mentS having been recorded in the
Daily Bulletin published by the bu
reau of navigation, while during her
apparently prolonged stay at Pernam-
buco. it was stated on several occa-
sions that the vessel was simply cruis-
coast looking out for American inter
eStS.
A Significant Incident.
It is further regarded as significant
that the Montgomery's cruise in Liber-
ian waters was made at a time when
reports were in circulation that Great
Britain. Germany and Italy had de-
signs on the territory of the little re-
public, and these were SO persistent
that Secretary Hay deemed it advisable
to make inquiries of the powers named.
These inquiries resulted in assertions
that none of the foreign governments
contemplated interfering with Liberian
affairs.
The secrecy regarding the Montgom-
ery's movements was carried to such an
extent that it was not until late this
afternoon that Secretary Long stated
that after making inquiry of the bu-
reau of navigation he had been in
formed that the Montgomery had Wis
tied Monrovia, the capital of Liberal
and Free Town, the capital of the Brit
ish colony of Sierra Leone.
While at the former point Comman-
der J. P. Merrill of the Montgomery
called upon the American minister, and
it is understood met the president and
his cabinet 1t is no secret here that
Liberia has long desired an active
American protectorate and has made
representations which lead the authori-
ties to understand that she desires the
establishment of an American coaling
station on her shores, believing that 1T
will give her additional reason for pro-
lection from this government.
No Good Coaling Stations.
The reports which have been received
at the navy department regarding the
IlDerlan coast snow II does not possess
a satisfactory port for a coaling sta
ton. Many years ago the United States
possessed a coal pile at Sierra Leone,
which point, it is believed, the Mont
gomery also visited, though simply for
the purpose of taking coal on board
Senator Mason, who has received a
letter from an officer of the Montgom-
cry, states that he proposes to intro
dIce a resolution calling upon the sec
rotary of the navy 10 inform the sem
ate why the Montgomery was ordered
to Sierra Leone, and if the mission was
in pursuance of any understanding with
