TWO WRlGHTS MIX.
Subsequent Proceedings Did Not Show
Which Was Wrong.

There were a few minutes of lively
fighting in Mahan Brothers store on
Main street last evening at $50 o'clock
Only a few blows were struck, but
these We're hard ones, and to-day F.
b. Wright has a badly swollen face.
The fight was the result of an al
legged debt. H. E. Wright, a painter
who is not related to F. B. Wright
claimed that the latter owed him some
money. F. B. Wright denied it, The
two men were in the office of Mahan
Brothers store last evening, when H
f. Wright demanded the money he
claimed was due him. F. B. Wright
said he owed him nothing, and he had
no sooner given this answer than he
received several punches in the face
+. B. Wright, the victim, left the
store in quest of an officer. H. f.
Wright was arrested shortly after by
Officer BoZanitZ.

~ HE status of General Jiminez is a
delicate point in international
law. Whatever may be the flu
ture government of Cuba. as long as
the island is in the hands of the United
States government 1T must be consid-
cred United States territory. The
United States has an unquestioned
right to arrest a man who has been
violating its laws by recruiting soldiers
in its territory for foreign service. That
has been the charge against Jiminez.

7 APAN has a new law regulating

7 APAN has new law regulating
all religious faiths and beliefs,
which is creating much comment
and criticism in the religious world.
The law, on the face of it, places all
religions, pagan and Christian, on the
same footing. They are to be under the
control of governor, without whose
sanction not a church can be built or
any meetings held. All applications for
the establishment of churches must be
accompanied by the most minute de-
tails. The scheme of faith must be ex-
planned at length and the reasons must
be given why it is sought to convert
people to it, In fact everything has ito
be set forth and particularized. If a
permit is given to establish a church,
the building must be completed within
stated term or everything is off"
Just how the various Christian denom-
nations will fare under the law is a
problem. They do not like it. 1t is
believed to be a scheme to hamper
Christian missionaries in spreading the
gospel of Christianity. Much will de-
pend upon the religious governor"
who will have it in his power to shut
out any Christian denomination from
the work of PROSECUTING.

with few strongly new features pre-.

ness of the country goes forward at

its maximum, judging from adviceS of
activity and strength of demand re-
ported alike from western and eastern
markets and shared in also by most
south Atlantic and interior southern
cities.
Iron and steel are quiet. but very
strong at the east. The notable
strength of cereals this week is shown
in corn, where paucity of old supplies
leads to the rumOr of a September
squeeze" Little seems to be noted
in wheat. though the government re-
port was temporarily stimulating
Lumber retains all its old strength.
This is true also of most building ma
terials. with the exception of brick,
which is rather weak. Wool is firm
at all and higher at some markets.

General Weston says that the soldier
of the Colorado regiment who has
found so much to criticiSe at Manila
evidently was misinformed about the
exorbitant prices which We're being
paid for supplies in the Philippines.
Sugar is bought about 10 per cent.
cheaper than in the United States: rice
is 30 per cent. cheaper. and consider
able reduction is found in the prices OF
beef purchased in Australia of the pre-
vailing prices in Chicago. The govern
ment saves transportation on these ar
ticleS.
As to other articles. which are part
Of the commissary stores bought by
the department and sold to the officers

says there is no possibility of loss to

are bought upon the recommendation
of the surgeons and the money for
them comes out of the 10 cents day
allowed to each soldier in the hospital
