TERRY M'GOVERN WINS.
Secures the Bantnm-Weight Cham.
pionship of the World in
Only One Round.

New York, Sept. 13.-Terry McGov-
ern, of Brooklyn, whipped Pedlar
Palmer, of London, thoroughly in less
than one round in the arena of the
Westchester club, near Tuckahoe, N. Y,
Tuesday afternoon. With the victory
went the title of bantam champion of
the world, although both contestants
were actually in the feather weight
class. The Englishman, although fore
ing the pace ut the outset, was really
never in it, and McGovern simply bat
tered his opponent into partial insen7
sibility. The battle did not last quite
one round, the actual time of fighting
being exactly, two minutes and 30 sec
onds, at the end of which time Palmer
was lying helpless, though half-con-
scious, on the floor of the ring. The
purse for which the lads contested was
$4,000, Is per cent. of which went to
the winner and the remainder to the
loser. Nine thousand spectators wit
messed the battle. ss.>.zS sS g.

URGED TO SUBMIT.
President Kruger Is Asked to Yield
to the Demands of Mr.. Cham
berlain.

London, Sept. IA special dispatch
from Pretoria says the leaders of the
Afrikander Bund have telegraphed to
President Kruger urging him to yield
to Mr.. Chamberlain's last demands.
Cape Town, Sept. 14.-It is asserted
in Afrikander circles here that the
Transvaal government will accept the
British note, leaving the question of
suzerainty on the basis of the conven-
tion of 1884.
The Cape Times and the Cape Argus
both consider the British note generous
and conciliatory, and all the papers, in
Guiding the Krugerite organs, assume
that the Transvaal will comply with the
British demands.
London, Sept. IA. A representative
of the press has learned that the Brit
ish message to the Transvaal does not
demand reply in 4s hours, the exact
wording being a request for "an i'm
mediate reply" The message is not an
ultimatum in the generally accepted
sense of the word. It expresses the
hope that President Kruger will accept
the propositions to relieve the pres
ent tension"
The only part which is at all aggres-
sive is the reiterated declination of the
British government to discuss the mat
ter of sovereignty in any shape or form.

Indeed, it may be doubted if more in
fuential and ADLER body of men ever as
