The people of Takiu have scarcely
any amusements; an annual event is a
rope pulling and stone throwing, which
is a brutal mode of entertainment as
hundreds of the participants are killed
every year. A mammoth rope is secured
and carried outside of the city wall,
sides are then chosen and they pull in
opposite directions to see which is the
stronger The stone throwing is Similar
sides are chosen and they hurl large
stones at each other to see which side
will be vanQuished first.

MAY NEVER FIGHT AGAIN.
The Good Right Arm of Fitz is In
Very Bad Shape.

New York. Aug. S.-The Sun today
says: Ex-Champion Bob FitzsimmOns
intends to undergo a difficult surgical
operation, the result of which will set
tie his future career in the ring. Fitz's
right arm, which was injured by Yank
Kenny, his sparring partner. hitting it
in the west several months ago, is
again troubling him, and in order to
alleviate the pain, from which he suf-
fers constantly, Fttz has decided to
have the injured member set to rights,
even if he is compelled to be laid up
for weeks. Several physicians in Chi
cagO a few weeks ago examined the
arm through the medium of the X
rays. They found that a piece of bone
at the elbow had been clipped away.
and the seat of trouble was there. Fitz
was also told that an operation was the
only thing that would benefit him.
When the Cornishnan Informed a re-
porter of the Sun yesterday about the
pain in his arm a friend near by. who
overheard the remark, asked: docs it

UNDER OUR FLAG.
Slavery is Permitted to Exist Declares
a Prominent Ohio Republican.

Akron, O., Aug. 3.-Judge Charles r.
Grant, one of the most prominent indie
pendent Republicans of Ohio, in an in
terv.ew today scores the administra-
tons views in pretending to be out
ragged at the mere suggestion of polyg-
amy and slavery at home, but which,
in addition to paying $4,000 tribute in
DECEASED currency" to the Sultan of
Sulu, ruler over an American colony,
permits the sultan and his people to
continue undisturbed in the peculiar in
situations of their country. He said:
Press dispatches announce that Gen
eral John c. Bates has presented the
Sultan of Sulu with $4,000 as evidence
eminent. The meaning of this is that
Spain, never having been able to sub
due Sulu, had been accustomed to pay
its sultan an annual tribute of 1000,
in return for which the latter made be-
heve he was exercising Spanish sover-
eighty over those islands. And our
administration. rather than have a Sec
ond Philippine war on its hands as a
result of its failure to fee the sultan,
sent General Bates with the usual sti-
pend.
1.-The stipend sent to this American
sultan was not in hard American dol
lars for it was later reported that
the fund was in the shape of Mexican
dOllars-thOse dishonest dollars the ut
ter sinfulness of which, in any aspect
or for any purpose, was so feelingly
portrayed in the campaign of 1886, and
which needed a dark lantern to show up
the enormity of our people being starv-
ed to death by having too many of
them. By the way, it is pathetic to
think how richly the dark lantern man
is being rewarded for his fidelity to a
grateful organization, and perhaps it is
accounted no sin to cheat a heather
in the mild form of flooding him with
cheap dollars.
1.-The government of the United States
is to pay tribute each year to a polg-
amous ruler of a polygamOus people, he
and they being also Shareholders, with
the guarantee that neither the religion
nor the administration of Suiu is to be
interfered with by US, and which in
cludes the right to have pluralities of
wives and to own slaves.
"A government protesting to be ad-
ministered constitutionally has not only
absorbed Hawaii, in whose islands
cooIie labor contracts having long years
to run are specifically enforced by the
courts, and this on sugar plantations,

Fitz. HE wants me to split the purse.
It's funny that all these fellows who
profess to be anxious to fight at the
last minute throw a bluff, and then re-
fuse to scrap until give them an equal
slice of spoils. Let me tell you, the
only man I want to meet again, If I
ever fight. is Jim Jeffries. Win or lose
with him, that will be my last fight.
He says he will give me another show,
and fancy he will stick to his word
Fitz had no opinion to express regard
ing Jen's coming encounter with Tom
Sharkey. All he would say was that
he hoped Sharkey would be on hand to
fight Fitz further said that his arm
did not hurt him to any extent when he
fought Jeffries If it did he thought
it was dulIed by excitement and the
probable result of the match.

NO PACKAGES FOR YUKON
Can Be Sent Through the Mail, Says
Uncle Sam.

New York, Aug "a special to the
Times from Washington says:
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden has issued an order calling the
attention of postmasters everywhere to
the fact that packages cannot be mall
ed to the Yukon district. Letters and
postal cards can be sent to the Yukon
territory, but there is no way in which
parcels or third or fourth class matter
can be forwarded. 1t seems that some
postmasters have failed to notify per-
sons who have attempted to send such
matter of the rule, and people who have
tried to send clothing and other artf-
cles to their friends on the Yukon have
had their trouble for their pains. Post
masters are instructed to decline all
such matter.

OTHER MATTERS.
President Worth stated that he COP

sent TO the chamber and it was neces-
sary 10 provide some place TO keep
them. This brought on a exchange Of
views as to permanent rooms for the
chamber. Several suitable rooms were
mentioned.
Mr.. ID. l.. Gore said the Carolina In
uranc Company contemplated the ex-
tension of their building back to the
alley in the rear and probably that
could he secured.
Mr.. NJ. w. Jacob said it would be q
good idea for all the commercial bod
ies-the Chamber Of Commerce, the Pro-
duce Exchange, the Wilmington Tariff
Association and the Wilmington Mer-
chants Association-to combine and
either erect a building or ecu ons
and specially fit it for their purposes
On motion of Mr.. jacob, Messrs. NJ. w.
Jacob, Thomas H. Wright and Colonel
Walker Taylor were appointed a com
mittee TO bring this matter to the at.
tention of the several commercial bod
les.
Mr.. jacob called the attention OF the
chamber to the necessity of getting out
a revised edition of the brochure adver-
Using the advantages of Wilmington
and vicinity. He said the style OF THAI
publication could be enlarged, n an
10 it's usefulness he said no money had
ever been spent that was of more ben
eft to this community. The object was
to encourage nome seekers to come
here, and the chamber could better use
its influence in this direction han IN
any other way. Without taking any
action on the suggestion, the r,@etina
adjourned.
