CHOATE AT EDINBURGH
CHIEF GUEST AT THE BANQUET OF
THE WALTER SCOTT CLUB.
Speech in Which He Referred 10 Eng
land and America-Tumu in
the French senate.

EDINBURG, Nov. 1O.-Joseph II. Choate,
the United States ambassador, who was the
chief guest at the annual banquet OF the
Walter Scott Club this evening, met with
an enthusiastic reception. Sir Herbert Max
well, who presided, made a cordial refer
ence TO the friendship that seals England
and America.
in the course of a speech proposing the
toast to literature, Mr.. Cnoate said: Truly
your country and mine connected by
bonds OF sympathy that were never stronger
and closer than they are at this very hour.
L can assure you that Lord Salisbury's gem
erous and cordial words at the lord mayor s
banquet yesterday will meet with quick
and hearty response beyond the Atlantic.
1t has been said by a great poet that
Peace hath het victories not less renowned
than war; and this ironclad friendship
which now prevails between these two kim
dred nations is her latest and greatest vic
tory. 1t means peace not merely between
your country and mine, but among all the
great nations of the earth, and ii tends, by
advancing civilization, TO promote the well
fare of the whole human race"
The remainder of a. much-applauded ad-
dress was devoted to a humorous compare
son between American and Scottish char
acter illustrated in every day life and
TO eulogy of Sir Walter Scott. Andrew
Lang responded to the toast

FOUGHT A HARD DRAW.
Dave Sullivan and Joe Bernstein at
the broadway Club.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Dave Sullivan ard
Joe Bernstein fought a twenty-fye-round
draw tonight at the Broadway Athletic
Club. Sullivan outfought Bernstein. He
led, forced and landed, while the other man
blocked and remained on the defensive dur
ing the majority Of the rounds. Left 1ahs
from Bernstein cut and bled Sullivan early
in the fight. AT the end of the sixth round
Sullivan's face was covered with blood. His
nose and mouth were bleeding and each
time Bernstein's left hand reached his face
the glove was besmeared with blood and the
Irish lads countenance more repulsive.
Dave sent right and left to body. and kept
Bernstein guessing with right and left
swings to the head. In the tenth round
Bernstein's left did wonderful work, visit
ing Dawes face and body frequently, the
Irtshman returning with hard lefts, which
landed on the stomach and over the heart.
Up to the nineteenth round the fight was
fairly even. but in this round Bernstein sent
his right over the mark and Dave went TO
his corner groggy. Dave came out strong In
the twentieth, however, and forced the
fighting with renewed energy. He drove
Bernstein all over the ring with left to head
and right and left on the wind, TO which
Bernstein countered feebly. This lasted un-
til the gong closed the contest at the end
of the twenty-ffth round.

TOBIN'S SKELETON FOUND.
Cemetery EmplOye Who Killed Major
Fitzpatrick Last June.

MOUND CITY. ILL.,, Nov. 10.-Since June
q last, when Michael Tobin murdered Mai.
Thomas A. Fitzpatrick, of this city, the
Whereabouts of Tobin remained a mystery
until to-day. This afternoon his skeleton
was found under a tree in the woods two
miles northeast of here. The bones were
intact, showing that the body had reclined
against the tree. Between the legs was the
shotgun which killed Fitzpatrick. A string
was attached to the right foot and to the
trigger of the gun. Tobin had undoubtedly
committed suicide by discharging a load Of
shot into his mouth, the crown of the head
being blown off.
Major Fitzpatrick was superintendent of
the National Cemetery, of this city. Tobin
had been one of his employees for six years.
A few days previous TO the tragedy the
ma or had notified Tobin that he would have
to dispense with his services. Tobin brood
ed over this until, on June p, he walked up
to his victim and sent a heavy charge of
shot into the majors chest. Death was in
Simultaneous. Tobin at once fled. Blood
hounds were put on the trail and large re-
wards were offered, but without results.
