A TOURNAMENT

For Local Boxers Is Received With
General Favor-Wouid Excite n Set
ofSpiritcd Contests Between Good
Home Tnlent-Borins Notes.
Wheeling boasts OF some creditable
young boxers, and In fact, when they
have figured against out-of-town OPP
poneuts. their showing was always
,!a,;ering to the old town. The sugges-
ton Is offered that. In view OF the at
temp,s to match several OF them. there
be held tournament at which the RI
vals may decide their superiority. Box
ing tournaments are great successes In
other cities and one here. in which the
participants would be representatives
Of suburbs and other things, would
grouse sort Of local pride that would
assert Itself in big box Office receipts.
The tournament could consist OF
three bouts, say Of ten rounds each. In
the bantam, light and welter-weight
classes. and the winner would thus be-
come the local champion In his class.
For instance. George earle, OF Ben
wood. and Louis Logoma ssino, who
would both weigh under $50 POUNDS,
ought to put UP hot and stubborn bat
lie. Or others within the weight limit
could enter. and IL necessary the ra-
d!us OF eligible territory might be ex-
tended for some distance. to Include
Little Washington. II desired, since
tina, town has plenty OF boxers whom
Wheeling boys would like to win over.
M!!t Rankin and Frank Tucker, Wash
ine,on bantams. could be Pitsed'o gainst
Buzz" Auper and Charles Kurtz In the
lis pound class. These contests alone
would draw like a house afire.,
In the lightweight register, -Chippy
Chapman. OF the East End. is The best
known. But there are others who would
come out in n limited round bout for a
championship medal. or purse. as the
case might be.
Leslie Pearce Is great admirer of
boxing tournaments. and patrons OF the
game are anxious to see local men
mix Il up. for the last few contests have
demonstrated that the boys have done
better in the preliminary events, which
were generally hottie. than the main
bouts, than the stiffs who humbugSed
the public. ----

In the rotunda of the State House at
Augusta there have for long time been
two cabinets containing the battered bat
tie flags brought home from the civil war
by the Maine volunteer regiments. They
have been one of the most interesting of

memory of the Spanish war, new cabi
net has been erected containing the flags

The question of taxation has been pro-
iected into the New York leg stature by
a message from Gov. Roosevelt From
this message 1t appears that the condition
Of things In the Empire state is not ma.
terially different from that which exists
in Maine. "At present." says the gov
srnor, 1.-THE farmers, the market gardeners
and the mechanics and tradesmen having
small holdings are paying an improper
and excessive portion of the general
taxss. The farmers and the small trades
men Of Maine make a similar assertion
In regard to themselves There is evil
dent injustics, continues the governor,
''in the light taxation of corporations.
A similar injustice is complained of In
Maine. The Governors recommendation
IL that joint committee of the Senate
and House be created to investigate tbs
subject in full and report to the next leg
lslature proper schsme for taxation. 1t
remains to be seen whether the legislature
nf New York will take the same view as
dad the legislature Of Maine and indet-
nieely postpone the whole business.

One of the favorite theories OF the jim
goes is that the war in the Philippines
was the result of the delay in ratifying
the treaty Of peace with Spain. If that
had been promptly ratified, they say, thsre
world have been no insurrection. But
Cspt q. p. Farrell, captain and assis-
tant surgeon of the First California Vol.
untsers, who travelled all over Luzon last
October. found that. the one topic of con-
versation among the Filipinos
at that time was the coming fight
with the Americans. "They seemed, {"
he says, 'to regard 1t as ineVi-
liable and were not disposed to avoid it,;
even the little boys were marching up
and down the streets and being drilled,
and never saw more military enthusi-
asm In any country" The truth is we
bought the Philippines without an
proper investigation. The testimony Of
officers who had been only few weeks
at Nauih-not long enough to give them
any real insight into the character and
intentions Of the natives-was relied
upon. Doubtless it was honestly given
bat 1t WAS founded on insufficient knowl-
edge. Even Gen. Merritt was so deceived
that he gave it as his opinion that the
Fiipinos could not be induced to fight.
He looked upon them as children who
could be easily managed.

The explanation Of Eagan's language
before the War Commission was that the
charges of Miles had 40 weighed on his
mind Is to make him practically In
sane. But judging from the testimony
bsfere the Court of Inquiry yesterday
Eagan's insanity dates way back Of that.
The fact that tho oommissaries at Porto
Rico would not feed the soldiers on the
rotten refrigerated beef appears to have
had about the same effect upon him az
Milss's charges.

Weekly, brief description Of this sea OF

The Gulf Of Maine Is q geographical

There IL not much doubt that Mr.. Ad-
dicks used all the influences at his COM
,nand to secure his election to the sem
seorship by the Delaware legislature and
that the one he had the best commasd OF
was money. But to procure legal evil
deuoe of the fact sufficient to convict Is
nos easy. Hence It is very doubtful II
the prosecution which has been instituted
AGAINST his manager will amount to any
thing. The past dozen years have wit
messed q great many charges Of bribery in
connection with senatorial elections, yet
we cannot recall that single person has
been convicted Of that offence.

FINAL TOUCHES.
Columbia and Shamrock Receiving
Them for Big Race.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29,-rhis has been a
particularly busy day for the crews of
Both the American cup defender the
Columbia, and the challenger Shamrock.
From carly morning a large portion of the
men on the Columbia were busy scrapinae
and polishing her metal underDody. The
electric burnishers were discarded after
several trials, for the men found thew
could do the work faster and better by
hand. The Shamroells underbody is prac
ucally finished. so far as polishing Is con-
cerned. The fact that the work on the
challenger's hull is more advanced than
on the Columbia is due to the division of
the crew into two Watches one working
all night and the other working all day.
W hen the Shamrock w6s first exposed
TO view every one was of the opinion
That her lead keel was not covered with
metal similar to the Colamhias, but when
the underbody was polished off it was
seen that the lead was protected by sheet
copper, over which a coating of red anti
corrosive paint had been put Today the
copper was polished UP well, and the very
bottom sheets were given a coat of dark
red paint
The work of polishing up the Columbia's
null Will take at least another day. as
at D o'clock this afternoon when the
men quit work, there was still consid-

so that any person coming late can obtain

will be numerous stops made before
