GENERAL WHEELER EXPLAINS.
Speech He Intended to Make In the
House.

Washington, March 4.-With refer
ence to his attempt today to secure
recognition for the purpose OF address,
ing the house, General Wheeler said to-
night:
Seeing there was nothing 10 be done
/ in the house, l asked unanimous con-
| sent to speak for five minutes. l was
not recognized but MIR. Payne was rec
ogniZed TO move a recess for live min
utes. 1 then asked that before that
motion was put ] be permitted to adj
dress the house for three minutes. If
the speaker had submitted my request,
l am confident that no member of the
house would have objected. What l
intended TO say was as follows:
No one reveres the constitution more
| than myself, and 1 could not be induced
| TO advocate a construction contrary to
the intent of its trainers.
When l received the appointment as
major general of volunteers last May,
I was requested by persons whose de-
sires l could not disregard. not to re-
sign my seat in congress. l found in
the present congress thirty-three mem
bers had been appointed to offices, and
that none of them had resigned their
seats in congress. l examined the de-
cisions and precedents on the subject
and found that during the 10 years of
Greds, and possibly thousands of mem
! bers OF congress had accepted offices
! during their terms, and that none of
them holding temporary offices like
mine had ever been unseated.
Il found that the decisions of courts,
even including four decisions quoted by
General Henderson in his report, took
the ground that inhibitions found in
the constitution with regard TO offices
To offices a a a r.
acter, and not of temporary charac-
ter. l also found that the attorney gen.
eral of the United States had rendered
an elaborate opinion on the subject, in
which he took precisely the same
ground, and held that an Office in the
volunteers was not such an Office as
was inhibited by the constitution.
Il was anxious for the matter to be
brought uo in the house and fully dis
cussed, so that the decision would be
in harmony with the spirit of the con-
stitution."

Settled the Colored HEAVYWEIGHT
Championship of the World.
CHlLDs WAS THE WINNER
DEFEATED BOB ARMSTRONG OF
NEW YORK.
Event Was Pulled OF At Cincinnati
and Many Prize Ring Notables
Were Present Armstrong Was
Knocked Silly In the Sixth
Large Sums Wagered.

| Cincinnati, O., March A ten-round
contest for the colored heavyweight
championship of the world was the
main event tonight before the Stag
Athletic club.
The contestants for the honor once
held by Peter Jackson were Bob Arm
strong of New York and Frank Childs
of Chicago. The men met in Chicago
about two years ago and Childs gained
the decision in the second round. Arm
| strong claimed, however, that the con-
test was pre-arranged, and that Childs
took advantage of an opening, thereby
gaining the decision over him. The
contest tonight assumed championship
airs, a large delegation being present
from Indianapolis, st. Louis, Cleveland,
| Louisville and Chicago. An extra at
traction was the presence of Tom Shar-
key and his manager, Tom O'Rourke.
| The men fought for division of the
receipts, which reached the thousands,
owing to the prices, which were from
81 to $25.
Armstrong and Childs shook hands at
10 p. m. Johnny Murphy of Cincinnati
was chosen referee. Armstrong tow
cred over his stockily built opponent.
He resorted to left-hand leads in the
first round, invariably receiving a right
counter from Childs.
In the second round Armstrong was
the aggressor, but a hard right coun-
ter on the jaw staggered him and wor-
ried him extremely ChildS rushed and
received a right uppercut on the face.
AT close quarters Armstrong had the
advantage. Childs rushed matters in
the third, and in a miX-up he foored
Armstrong with right swing on the
jaw. Armstrong took nine seconds of
a r.iG ka
to keep clear of his smaller opponent,
who forced him around the ring, vain
ly trying to land a knockout
The fourth round was a furious one,
Childs being staggered by right on
the head, while evidently laying back
for a chance to land his right.
In the fifth, Childs rushed and landed
right and left repeatedly, driving Arm
strong around the ring. Armstrong;
replies were with right and left jabs.
A hard right swing on the jaw stag
gered Armstrong, and Chil6s, following
it up, landed left and right, which
made Armstrong very groggy.
In the sixth, Childs rushed at Arm
strong and landed a hard right swing
on the jaw, which sent Armstrong fly
ing clear across the ring. But for the
ropes he would have tipped headlong
among the spectators. AS he rebounded
from the ropes, Childs landed his right
again on the jaw. which sent Arm
strong reeling about the ring with his
hands hanging by his side. Childs was
about to give the finishing punch, when
ORourke, realizing that his man was
helpless, threw up the sponge. and the
decision of the colored heavyweight
championship was awarded to Childs.
The Chicago contingent won a large
sum of money on the contest.
After the fight was over, O'Rourke
and others held a conference for
Sharlley to challenge Childs. The win-
rer tonight developed such surprising
parts that Sharkey agrees to meet him

history Of our country. this congress
has witnessed the inception. orosecu-
ton and conclusion of a war with a
foreign power, undertaken in the inter
est OF humanity and conspicuous for
the brilliant deeds of the army and
navy, by whose valor an imperial do
main has been added to our possessions
and millions of people to our pooula-
ton.
But not only has this congress been
a war congress, it will always be me-
morable as a congress Of peace, and in
securing it this body has exercised its
constitutional function as a part of the
treaty and peace-making power in a
way to command the approval of the
whole country.
These facts alone would have made
this congress eminent in the long line
of our national legislatures but for
other acts and results, not to be emu
merated at this time, the Fifty fifth
congress has likewise been notable, and
now, its constitutional life ended, it be-
comes part of our national history
and leaves to its successors for settle
ment many problems that will be per-
picking, important and of very highest
concern to our people.
I'VE feel assured, however. and the
American people as we'll feel assured,
that future congresses will meet these
grave questions with wisdom and pa
triotism, and solve them soundly and
righteously. To doubt it is to doubt
the true American spirit and doubt our
American institutions. I have faith in
both. The hour of adjournment is now
at hand. For the unfailing courtesy
and the unvaryfng cordiality which
have characterized the attitude of the
senate towards me as its presiding Of
ficer [ am profoundly grateful, and [
cannot let this opportunity pass with
out this public expression of my deep
appreciation of kindnesses received at
the hands of each member of the body;
and particularly / cannot close the SEN
ate without recognition of the efficient
service of the officers and reporters of
this body, whose efforts have been so
faithful and whose duties have been so
courteously and diligently performed.
For the senators who remain, and
for the senators who retire from this
body, I desire to convey my thanks for
the kindly sentiments expressed in the
resolution just adopted, and it only re-
mains for me now, in the exercise of
the duty devolving upon me, to declare
that the senate stands adjourned with
out day"
There was no demonstration what
ever in the senate. There was general
handshaking among the senators, and
many expressions of regret were heard
that many senators, whose terms ex-
pired today, were not to be here when
the senate met again.
Preparations were everywhere OBJ
served for departure, many senators in
tending to leave for their homes at
once.

PRESIDENT Is SATISFIED,
But Wanted Authority to Appoint
More Major Generals.

Washington, March 4.-The president
expresses himself as well pleased in
general with the outcome of the session
of congress just closed. He takes a
hopeful view of conditions. believing
that the failures of congress to meet
the requirements, in several instances,
of the executive win not operate to en-
barrass the government seriously. 1t
was the purpose of the president, had
congress listened favorably to his re-
quest for authority to appoint four ad-
ditional major generals, to have named
Generals Fitzhugh Lee, Wheeler Will
son and Wood. It was a bitter disap-
pointment to the war department that
the request of the president for au-
thority to appoint only one additional
major general of regulars should have
been negadved. 1t was the purpose to
name for that honor General Shafter,
in order that he might retire with the
laurels he las earned. The general
must be retired by law on the 18th Of
the present month. and must go out
with only a volunteer commission. 1t
is the purpose to give him at least

Madrid, March 4.-The new cabinet
took the oath of office today. The min
ist-v is composed as follows:
Senior Silvela, premier and minister OF

ter of finance; Senior Duran, minister Of
Justice; General Poliviia, minister of

mara, minister of marine.
1t is expected that General Martinez

is thought. will be chosen as president
of the chamber of DEPUTIES.
There was some excitement in the
cafes last night when the formation of
the Silvela cabinet was announced. The
"Marseillaise" was sung and there were
cheers for liberty. Those who are in
the Immediate surrounding of Senior
Silvela say his sole idea is to reGener-
ate the country. He holds that the
queen regent can ratify the treaty Of
peace with the United States without
a vote of the chambers, and that, there
fore, their dissolution need not defer the
