PROTEST OF WOMEN IGNORED.
Millvale's Council Disregards Their
Appeal to Stop Prizehghting.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 15.-The women of
Millvale are protesting against prizefghts
which have occurred in that suburban
town. They have appealed to the council
to stop the bouts, but the council refused,
as each fight brings $50 license fee. which
helps to pay the police force. The women,
having formed an association, intend to go
to the opera house 300 strong at the next
fight.
A councilman said last night that the
police will be ordered to arrest the women
for disorderly conduct or obstructing the
sidewalk If they attempt to carry out this
plan.

HARPER & BROS. FAIL.
Under a Burden OF Enor-
nous Debt.

New York, Nov. 29.-Harper & Bros,
the best-known publishing house in the
United States, is bankrupt. The BUSH
ness has passed into the control of the
State Trust company, first-mortgage trus-
tee. The business, which has been flour
ishing for fifty years, is weighted down
with enormous Indebtedness, and in
spite of the injection OF new blood re-
Gently must be reorganized.
The present action, the turning over of
the property to the mortgage, was on the
suggestion of Col. Harvey, after per-
sonal investigation, and with the consent
of the principal creditors, J. Pierpont
Morgan and the Harper family. He dis
covered that the company was under a
load of $3,500,O00 secured Indebtedness
and $2,O00,0O0 unsecured claims-a bur-
den too heavy to lift in the ordinary
course of business methods. While the
financial reorganization will be deter
mined by the creditors and the receiver,
Mr.. Harvey and his associates will con-
tinue to concentrate all their energies in
the publishing department of the bust
ness. both in the periodicals and books.

Maj. M'Dill and Wisconsin Soldiers

aid prints a letter from Manila under
date of October %, in which the writer
describes the experiences of the Thirtieth
infantry, including a number of Wiscon-
sin soldiers, in the trip from San Fran
cisco to the Philippines. The letter is as
follows:

: A GRACEFUL ACT.
Mckinley and Dewey will Pay the
Expense of Gridley'S Education
for the Marine Corps.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-J. p. V.
V. Gridley, who commanded Admiral
Dewey's flagship at the battle of Ma
Mia, was today designated for appoint
ment as Lieutenant in the marine corps
by President Mckinley. Young Gridley
is too early to enter Annapolis, and the
only opening for him in the navy lay in
an appointment to the marine corps, but
he lacked the necessary education, and,
worse than all, the money for study. The
boy was too modest to tell anyone Of his
situation, but Admiral Dewey, who Loved
his father, suspected it and decided to
act He determined to pay the bays ex-
penses whil- studying for thu I4caten-
ancy.
This morning he met young Gridley at
The white house and presented him to the
President. Admiral Dewey started to
interrupted and said: You and |, adj
miral. will pay his expenses in preparing
for examination. If he fails in the first
examination, | will give him another
chance; but | am sure he will be ready
when the time comes"
AS Admiral Dewey and the young man
were descending the white house steps
the admiral was saying to the son of his
old comrade: Now you keep an ac-
count of your expenses and let me know
what they are"
T Mr.. Gridley's mother, the widow Of
the gallant commander of the Olympia,
is living at Erie, Pa. She is drawing a
pension of $50 a month, which her
friends in Congress will seek to have in

SgGGGgGgGGGGGgGGGGG

According to ali reports the American
tlate WESTERN league has decided to
place a club in Chicago with or without
the consent of the Chicago club or of the
National league, says the Sporting Life.
This amounts practically to declaration
of war, as it is not likely that the Chi
cago league club will consent to share it's
territory with any other club, especially
not in the face of a rebelliOuS attitude
and q hostile declarations; and even if the
Chicago club should, by any possibility,
be brought into line on this proposition,
it is almost certain that the league would
not cOnsent-and it's consent under sec
ton 3 Of the constitution would be Just
as essential as that of the Chicago club,
nay even more so. 1t is to be presumed
that the American leaguers, if they real
~ contemplate the invasion, have careful
ly considered the situation and counted
the cost. And yet, inasmuch as the re-
suit will be ruin for the American league
no matter how the thing is figured out,
it is hard to believe that the American
league magnates mean what they say;
or, meaning it, have fully sized up the
consequences of their contemplated act
Under the circumstances it is not to be
wondered at that there is a widespread
disposition to regard the whole thing as
bluff to cover certain other contemplate
ed moves.
Jim Popp of Toronto, champion light
weight of Canada got the decision after
fast and furious ten-round bout witt
Otto Sieloff at Detroit.
Johnny Van Heest lost in a ten-round
bout with Charles Cross of Detroit T. 1t
was close until the tenth round. Tom Me-
Cune of Detroit fought Kid Baxter of
Chicago for ten rounds. McCune was
decidedly the aggressor and won out on
points.
George McFadden made short work of
Bobby Thompson, styled 1.-The lightweight
champion of Canada" at the Greenwood
Athletic club, Brooklyn, Thursday. He
knocked Thompson out in the third round
of what was to have been twenty
round bout at 135 pounds.
Marty McCue and Joe Cain fought
another. twenty-five-round draw at the
Hercules Athletic club, Brooklyn, last
Thursday night
In the fight with kid Ashe at New
ark, doc" Irish quit at the end Of the

George Grant was given the decision
over Joe Kennedy on a foul after two
rounds of fighting at Louisville.
Eddie Croak of Clinton knocked out
Barney Connors of Baltimore in the
ninth round at Clinton, Ia. The fight
was to have been twenty rounds.

Mckinley when in this city on the oc-

for the present governor to please such
an ultra Republican paper as Our even

pect any warm commentator from it,
and therefore he accepts its criticism
with calm and philosophic indifference.
Both the president and the governor

former at the request OF Republican pol
iticians like Congressman Fletcher. and
the latter in the performance OF his duty
as chief executive OF the state. Why

IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS.

1t is but natural ior the people Of
Ireland, outside OF the British garrison.
to synpatlizc with the Beers in their
liic-and-deatll struggle for national in
dependence. 1t is not surprising that
local popular bodies in Ireland, like the
county district councils, are passing
resolutions Of sympathy with Paul Kru-
ger in the unjust war that has been
forced upon him by the British Tories.
AS sample OF public sentiment in Ire
land on the Anglo-Boer conflict the fol-
lowing resolutions OF the Cork district
council will suffice:
Resolved, That, having regard to the
fact that the English people as a nation
have committed since their accursed pres
cree was first felt in ireland every crime
murder, pilagc, and all crimes that it
is possible Tor fallen humanity to pcrpe-
trate against their fellow-creatures-wc
hope il they engage in war, especially
an unjustihable war; such as the war
they are now forcing on the Beers, that
their army will be annihilated and their
power crippled, which will give the
Irish nation an opportunity of obtaining
its independence.
In Dublin on Sunday, Oct. I, mon
ster meeting was held to protest against
the attack OF Great Britain upon the
liberties OF the Transvaal. The princi-
pal speeches were made by Michael Da-
witt. T. D. Sullivan and P. ]. O'Brien,
all three being members OF the British
parliament. Some OF the London or
gans OF jngoism called upon the gov
crnmcnt to prosecute the trio Of Irish
patriots on the charge OF high treason
for wishing success to the Beers and for
condemning all enlistment Of lrisfmcn
Tor the African campaign; but Salisbury,
Chamberlain and Baliour are wise in
their generation and desire no trouble
in Ireland at the present time. II the
European powers interpose an objec-
ton to British rapacity in Africa, and
they are likely to do so, the British gov
ernment will be exceedingly gentle to
Ireland. and more especially ii the 49,
600 red-coats now stationed there are
needed to maintain British supremacy

contumacous Irish leaders to give Ire

We hope and trust that the Irish leaders
and the Irish county councils will con-
tinuc to sympathize with the Beers, and
that they will do everything possible to
encourage them in their defense OF
Dutch nationality. 1t is pleasing to
note that the Irish Of South Africa have
taken up arms against the Anglo Saxon
robbers. and that the Irish OF Dublin
have unfurlcd the Boer flag with the
Irish, French and American flags with

will find that no Filipino leader will be-
lieve a word OF it, Mckinley himself
declared that "forcible annexation is
criminal aggression" and Citizen Ire
lands talk on the flag will not change
the truth OF the statement.
We notice that the Pioneer Press
lauds the archbishop's address and re-
iers to "the power and fcrvor OF his
oratory.' So far as the archbishop's
oratory is concerned it deserves all the
praise bestowed upon it. When the
Pioneer Press, however, goes so far as
to say that Archbishop Ireland speaks
for the great body of American Cath
olics" on the Philippine question, it says
what is not true. He does not speak for
the Catholics at all. He speaks as an
American citizen and nothing else. If
vote OF the Catholics OF the United
States were taken tomorrow, ninety per
cent OF them would favor the freedom
OF the Filipinos without any American
flag to float over them They believe
that the brown men OF the East are be-
ing subjugated in the interest of trusts,
capitalists and SPECTATORS, and that
they are entitled to a government OF
their own without any interference from
the Mckinley administration. If the
Filipinos were promised in good faith
that the United States would assist them
in establishing stable government as
was promised to the Cubans, the flag OF
America would need no defense in the
Philippines for it would have never been
assaulted.
