The British government, it appears,
does not criticise the sending Of Ameri-
can troops to Alaska, as at first in
timated, but it does object to their be-
ing sent into the territory in dispute
between England, or, rather, Canada,
and the United States. The former ac-
The latter may be taken with good
reason and in a friendly spirit, as tend
ing to avoid a clash between the min
ers of both countries, who have con-
flicting claims. This is the view our
government takes of the matter and it

manner as to give no occasion for a

The report that the Punishment Of

opinion if it came to an open battle be

England sees in Admiral Dewey a
new Nelson and America sees in him a
fitting successor to the naval heroes Of
her former wars. The older nation will
have the first chance to do him honor
as he makes his homeward journey
through her dependencies. and there is
evidence that she intends to improve
it to the utmost, but the welcome home
which he will receive from the govern
ment and people of the United States
will naturally appeal to him most and
inspire him with the deepest feeling of
gratitude. But what he most wants.
after the first fervor of the grand re-
ceptfon is over, is to retire to his Yer
mont home and rest awhile. for his SER
vice has been long and exhausting.

Scrofula is one of the most obstinate,
deep-seated blood diseases, and is be-
yond the reach Of the many so-called
purifiers and tonics. S. S. S. is equal to
any blood trouble, and never fails to
cure Scrofula, because it goes down
to the seat of the disease, thus per-
manently eliminating every trace of
the faint.

A TEN-ROUND FIGHT
FOR MCCOY AND GREEN
THE CLEVER KID MUST STOP
THE LOCAL MAN.
Articles We're Signed at the Pavilion
Last Evening in the Presence
of Both Men.

George Green. the local middle-weight,
and KID Mccoy, light heavy weight
champion of the world, signed articles
late last evening at the Pavilion to fight
ten rounds in this city. The contest will
take place during April before the club
offering the greatest Inducements
Mccoy has agreed to stop Green within
the ten rounds, and if the local man is
on his feet at the end of that time he will
be awarded the decision. There is nothing
in the articles of agreement to prohibit
Green using all the defensive tactics
usually adopted by man who Is boxing
another who is out of his own
class, and it may be very confidently
predicted that the handy middleweight
will use every artifce to stay out the num-
Der Of rounds. Green's well known abil-
ity to take punishment will stand him
well in the contest with the hard-hitting
scientific kid.
The sporting fraternity expect to see
splendid contest of gloves between these
two men. Green in the past has always
been an aggressive puncher, and Will
doubtless mix things up in most inter
esting manner with his antagonist. Both
Green and MCCOY were present when the
articles were signed.
