perpetuate the memory Of Fred Doug

the address. And yet the negro re-

John Browns attempted murderous in
surrection, and had to flee to England
in order to escape the gallows to which
the outraged laws of the United States
would have condemned him. That s.

Douglass is not surprising, nor would
the erection of one to Nat Turner ne,
but that the Governor of The State Of
New York should approve the former
does seem little strange.

IMPERIALISM must be maintained ny q
large army, aud large armies must have
a large number OF officers; therefore
the board of visitors of the West Point
militsry academy have reported in Ia
vor of increasing the number OF cadets
at that institution TO FIVE hundred. In
psriallsm is by no means an lnexpen'
sive luxury. If the people OF TINS
country were taxed directly, instead OF,
as they are, indirectly, in order to raise
the billions required to pay the ex'
penses of their government, they would
revolt and refuse TO bear the onerous
burden any longer, especially as sll the
many poor are taxed to raise the nee
essary amount, while the surplus IL
comes of their comparatively few rich
fellow citizens are uutaxed.

Julian ran along the side of the ring
and sprinkied water on his fallen idol.
At the end of seven seconds Fitzsim-
mons staggered 10 his feet, only to GO
down again. He was up again, and
JelIres poised himself for the finish.
He shot his left to the body and tried
for the head with his right. He was
calm and collected, but the time was
too short. Again did the gong come to
he aid of the man VINO was then going
staggering and dazed to certain defeat.
There was frantic effort to revive the
champion of champions, but he WAS
clearly gone and his seconds could not
restore him.
The fate-like gong changed again,
and the old fighter wabbled quito meet
the sturdy young Hercules who await
ed him. 1t was as courageous and gritty
az dash up to the tiring-line in battle,
but it was hopeless. They were to.
gether. 1t was splendid moment,
and full of that dramatic intensity that
characterizes tragedy. Jetiries was
as fresh as at the start. There WAS a
moment of sparring, and the sturdy arms
of the Californian shot through the air.
1t was left and and right, and over.
Fitzsimmons, limp and unconscious,
dropped to the floor. Jeffries stepped
back, for he knew the force that he
had put behind his terrible blows.
The timers called off the seconds
that counted out an OLD ring hero and
heralded another, but nobody heard
them.
The crowd was on its feet bowling.
There was rush for the ring, but
scores of blue coats barred the way.
Ten seconds were short, and when the
tenth had come there was new roar OF
excitement to welcome the victor. Jul
ian, Hickey, Kepney and Everhardt
gathered up the PROSTATE man. He
was still in trance. They carried
him to his corner, and little blood
oozed from his mouth as his head fell
forward on his chest. The new hero
crossed the ring and shook the hand OF
his rival, after which he was surround d
by his friends, VINO hustled him from
the ring and into his dressing room.s@'
The fight was for purse of $4,000,
the division of which WAS not made
known The fighters are also TO have
equal shares in the receipts accrulng
from the pictures, which were success
fully taken.
Both Fitzsimmons and Jeffries made
signed special statements last night
after the fight as follows;

was too big and strong for me, II il

"The fight was never for one
moment in doubt so far as l
was concerned. i knew what !
could do when | entered the.
ring and grew more confident every
moment from the time the gong first
sounded. Fitz never hurt me but
once, and that was hard blow in the
lett eye. His body blows did not have
nearly the force they may have seemed
to have. In my own estimation | had
the better of every round. Fitz is
good clean fighter and probably the
best man of his weight in the country

OF THE eleven contested election
cases in the U. s. House OF Representa-
tives, every one is from the South. If
the majority in that body were demo-
cratic, it is hardly possible there would
have been single one. Contestants
are allowed $1,000, even if they have 70
case, and republicans, with party ma
iority in their favor, have 3 strong
chance of getting seats. If Mr.. John
Wise's opinion of Southern republicans
be true, and he should be familiar With
the matter, that all the contests re-
ferred to come from the South is not
remarkable, but it is little strange
that intelligent congressman from the
North, even though they be republi-
cans, should put any faith in them.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

At the Hague yesterday the peace
conference entered upon its most i'm.
portant stage, when the drafting COM
mittee of the third section took up ar
bitration. According to foreign dele.
gate, the American scheme does not
seem TO have obtained the support Of
many of the delegates. The drafting
committee was in session for three
hours, although not single conclusion
was reached, with the exception OF the
acceptance of the British scheme Is the
basis upon which to discuss the estab-
lishment of q tribunal of arbitration.
After the session most of the mem
bers OF the committee telegraphed to
their respective governments, indicat-
ing that the discussion showed the ne
cessity of having their instructions am
plifed. 1t is understood that several
of the delegates of the smaller powers
expressed wish that the permanence
of the tribunal might be made more eff
fective. and then moved amendments
ia this sense.
The great powers, however, think il
impossible, it is said, to go beyond Sir
Julian Pauncefote's proposals. Never
theless, determined effort is being
made to secure the institution OF
permanent tribunal. The Ameri-
can and Russian projects have not been
abandoned. Sir Julian Pauncefote's
will merely be taken as the basis of dis
cussion, and the American delegates
assure the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that the chief points in the
American and Russian proposals will
be incorporated as amendments.
The proposal of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, head of the British delegation, has
the advantage of not saddling the
powers with the expense of perma-
nently sitting tribunal, especially as the
latter would have nothing to do during
the greater part of the year, and the
adoption of this scheme, with modi6ca.
iions, is considered certain.
An appendix relating to organization
in the Russian scheme for an arbitra-
ton tribunal, proposes that the con-
ference appoint FIVE powers, Which,
when request for arbitration is made,
will each name a judge, who will form
the tribunal.

the ACCESSIBILITY of abandoning the old

for apprentices, but for the men who

THE PLAGUE IN PORTUGAL.

The natural anxiety felt throughout
Spain with regard TO the outbreak of
bubonic plague in Oporto is not allayed
by the retiCence of the Portuguese gov
ernment. The latter has made no
statement as to the number of cases
that have recently occurred, and, though
the Spanish officials in Portugal have
only reported four or five during he
last few days there exists a strong sus
picicn that the plague has found more
victims, and the Portuguese authori-
ties are adopting qolicy of conceal
ment, Some indignation has been
caused here also by the admissions
made to the correspondent of a Spanish
newspaper by D. Jorge who first dis
covered the true nature Of the outbreak
If DR.. Jorge has been reported accu-
rately, he states that he communicated
his suspicious to the Portuguese gov
eminent on July 10, that on July 3S he
positively Informed the government of
the existence of the plague, and that
on August he sent bactarioogieal
proof of it's existence to Lisbon. In
spite of these early warnings the gov
eminent made no official announcement
until August Is. Their reluctance to
believe DR. Jorge's evidence is appar-
emily still shared by some of the mer-
chants of Oporto, who have showered
threatening letters upon the doctor, ac-
cusing him of having falsely invented
the scare to serve some commercial
ends
In the meantime, on this side of the
frontier there is no lack of belief, and
apparentlv no lack Of energy. in the
that have been taken to
keep out the enemy, Quarantine sta
tons have been made at Tuy, Fregen-
eda, Valencia de Alcantara, Caceres.

tara the through traffic is still sus-
pended, owing to the quarantine ar
engagements not being yet in working

gal has been reopened already through

animation and detention of travellers
are more than sufficiently rigorous A

the usual lines of traffic. Only two Sc.
rious cases of breaking through the
Gordon have yet occurred, one when the
Civil Governor Badajoz permitted the
passage OF a train bringing visitors and
bull-hghters to the fetes in that city:
and the other when a boat, said to con-
tain thirty passengers, crossed the river
Mimic to the Spanish side, The Cover
nor Of Badajoz was promptly dismissed
from his post, and his example will
serve as a salutary warning elsewhere.
With regard to the Mimic incident the
official report throws doubt upon the
numer of passengers and suggests that
the boat contained no other occupants
than the one man who is already in
custody. Other evasions of quarantine
are reported daily, but none that have
yet been confirmed. In the same way
there are daily rumors of suspicious
cases of Illness occurring in Spanish
territory, runors which have, so far
proved absolutely roundless-London
