From certain published statements of

appear that the two would-be pugilistic

contest at the COney Island Athletic

under the guise of Horton law spar
ring contest a genuine, old-tirne slug
ging match or prize fight.
Considering the parties to the con-
test-their respective weights, 210 and
156 pounds, and other attending circum-
stances and conditions, ii is almost a
physical impossibility for the two indi-
viduals referred to to carry on lawful
contest for points on the coming occa-

CAUSES SERIOUS BREACH.
Failure of Kruger and MIIner to Reach an
Agreement.

Brussels, June DIR. Leyds. the
European representative of the Trans
vaal. received an ofiicialdispatch from
Pretoria confirming the report of the
failure of Kruger and Miner to
reach an agreement in conference at
Bloemfontein. 1t is added. that al
though Kruger is offered important
concessions. he made them contingent
on British acceptance of the principle
of arbitration of the differences with
the Transvaal, which the British COM
missioner declined.
London, June THE breakdown
of the Bloemfontein negotiations
has created considerable anxiety in
political and official circles. There
is much speculation as to the
next move of the British gov
ernment. While Great Britain prob
ably does not mean war, it is
generally thought, at any rate, that
there will be military preparations.

sCHURMAN MAKES SUGGESTIONS,

New York, June "A special to The

has, it is believed. recommended more
liberal concessions to the Filipinos, with
a view of ending the insurrection at
once. An official, acquainted with the
message, said 1t reviewed the situation
in the islands and was of an encourage
ing nature. The dispatch was consid-
cred by the president and Secretary
Hay, and the president has sent a re-
ply. The nature of the answer is not
divulged.
1T is significant, however that COIN
cident with his message to Schurman a
cablegram was sent to General Otis with
instructions in line with the presidents s
belief that the restoration of peace can
only be brought about by the complete
subjugation of the Filipinos. General
Otis will continue his military opera
tions throughout the rainy season. 1t is
apparent that the president does not
look for the close of the rebellion until
the Filipinos are convinced of the milf
tary superiority of the United States.

the president can so without authority

MURDERER AND BURGLAR CAUGHT
Cruelty to His Wife Gives the Police His
Sinful Career.

Philadelphia, June THE arrest of
Samuel Mckinney yesterday upon
charges of c.uelty to his wife has led to
ney is a murderer and robber. Mrs. Nc
Kinney told the police that in 1874,
while they were living in New York,
her husband planned to rob a country
house on the Hudson near Irvingten.
In trying to get away with the booty
he was surprised, and killed the owner
of the house. He continued his career
as a burglar. she said, and was quite
successful. But his biggest haul was
made In New York three and a half
years ago, when $4,000 in negotiable
securities and cash were taken from the
residence of John Wendell, at 442 Fifth
avenue, New York.
After discreet interval, Mrs. McKin-
ney declared, some of the bonds were
disposed of and the pair went to Ire
land, their "a home. farm was pur-
chased in County Antrim and they lived
there until early last summer, when they
returned to the United States and came
to Philadelphia. Mckinney was COM
mitted in default of bail on the charge
OF assault, and acting upon the woman's
story detectives were sent to search the
house where the couple lived. Their
search was rewarded by finding several
United States bonds and railroad bonds,
all negotiable. and under a pile of cloth
ing in the house 81. $50 in cash and let
ters addressed to John G. Wendell were
found.
Mrs. Mckinney says her husband has
often threatened to kill her and she
fears that if he should now be released
from prison he will carry his threats
into execution
