President Drivers Aid
Thinks Only of
Rest.
TO HOLD A RECEPTION TODAY.
People Of Adams Will Have
Opportunity to Meet
Mckinley.

Adams, Mass, June 23.-This was a
day of rest and quietness for the en-
tire presidential party guests of Hon.
William B. Plunkett, at his home here.
The morning was cloudy and threaten
ing, and none went out of the house
for any length of time. About noon the
sun shone and the younger members
of the party, with Mr.; and Mrs. Abrer
Mckinley, drove to the charming little
mountain town of Savoy, where trout
dinner was served at hotel. The par
ty returned to Adams in time for din
ner.
At the same time the president and
Mr.. Plunkett took drive to Cheshire,
remaining away about an hour. Mrs.
Mckinley remained indoors on account
of the weather. The president did very
little official work during the day, and
seemed to be enjoying his outing to
the utmost.
In the evening the Assembly club
held it's first meeting of the season at
Forest Park pavilion, in honor of Miss
Barber and Miss Duncan of the party.
To the reception had been invited the
most prominent among the young So
ciety people of Berkshire county, and
in every way was delightful occas-
ion. The pavilion was deliberately dec
grated in bright colors. effectively set
off with lanterns and colored lights.
Late in the evening the president, Mr..
and Mrs. Abner Mckinley and Mr.. w.
B. Plunkett drove to the park and
spent a short time at the Assembly.
The entire party this evening wit
messed one of the most remarkable
cloud displays ever seen in the Berk-
shires. 1t lasted many minutes and the
frequent changes were eagerly watched
by the distinguished party gathered on
Mr.. Plunkett's piazza.
The plans for tomorrow include a
reception to the people Of Adams, by
President Mckinley at Mr.. Plunketts
house. Early in the afternoon the pres
ident will visit the Memorial building
and public library, of which he laid
the cornerstone on his previous visit
Sayles Post, G. A. r., will give the
president a reception in its quarters IN
the building This will not be a pub
lie affair, as old soldiers only are ex-
pected to be present.

Joe Walcott Again
Disposes of Dan
CredOn.
STAND UP TWENTY ROUNDS.
But Australian Received
Greater Amount of
Punishment.

New York, June 23.-Joe Walcott, the
from Dan Creedon, the Australian mid
dle-weight fighter, after fighting 20
hard rounds before the New Broadway
Athletic Club, tonight. Nine weeks
ago at the Lenox Athletic Club, Wal
colt knocked out the Australian in less
| than half a round. Creedon was in
much better shape tonight than when
he met the negro last April, and put up
first-clSss defense against Joe's con-
| tinuous attack.
Walcott was always on the aggress-
| i've, and the betting was better than
2 to l on him at all stages Many
wagers were made at even money that
| Creedon would not last dozen rounds,
but the Australian stood the ''gaff"
gamely and took enough punishment to
knock out half dozen fighters. The
men agreed to box under Marquis of
| Queensberry rules, with a clean break.
Johnny White was the referee.
In the opening round, Creedon land
| ed a straight left on the head and sent
| it back to the body WalcOtt hooked
| his left to the chin. a right from
| Walcott put Dams eye in mourning.
| Walcott opened the second with left
| hook to the eye, Dan shooting his right
to the body, following with short left
to the face. WalcOtt bored in with left
hooks to the jaw and rights to the body,
keeping Dan moving.
Walcott came out strong in the third
and drove his left straight to the
mouth. Walcott kept pummeling his
opponent rapidly, receiving occasional
counters. In the sixth round, a left
smash from WalcOtt sent the blood
squirting from Creedon's right eye, and
after Dan received a right and left
on the body, he looked very tired.
Creedon came up in the seventh
round looking strong. Walcott sent a
succession of left jabs to Dams face,
much to Creedon's discomfort, and
from this to the fifteenth, Walcott had
| it all his own way. Dan made a Won
derful rally in the fifteenth, sending his
right over three times to the Negroes
head. These blows were hard ones. In
the seventeenth Walcott slipped to his
| knees in a rush which Creedon evaded.
In the eighteenth Walcott put it all
over his man, but at the close Dan sent
| his right over so hard that the negro
| blinked.
| The nineteenth found Walcott fore
ing Dan all over the ring with lefts to
| the body and rights to the head. Dan
fought back desperately, but his blows
lacked steam. Creedon was very tired
when he returned to his corner. In the
| twentieth round Walcott rushed and
tried hard to land a decisive blow, but
Creedon evaded him cleverly. When
| the gong ended the bout, both men
| were in Creedon's corner. Referee
White decided in favor of Walcott.
Harry Fisher of Brooklyn met Tim
Hurley of Susquehanna, Pa, in the
preliminary contest, which the referee
| stopped towards the close of the third
round. Fisher won, after furnishing
| the Pennsylvania badly. The men
met at catch weights, both being in the
vicinity of 100 pounds

PEACE CONFERENCE WAR
Duelling and Not Arbitra-
ton Now the Chief
Talk.

The Hague, June 23.-In spite of the
refusal of Achmed Ria Bey, of the
young Turkish party, to fight duel
with Rochid Bey, secretary of he
Turkhan Pasha, head Of the Turkish
delegation at the conference, Anne
Chan, an Armenian, who was to have
been one of the spectators at the meet
ing of the young Turkish party, has
written letter to the Vaterlahd, de-
nying remarks attributed to him, but
nevertheless accepting the challenge
which Ria Bey declined on the ground
that duelling was unlawful in Holland.
The incident has aroused eXtraordl-
nary interest among all classes.
The drafting committee of the arDi-
tration commission spent the AFTER
noon in considering articles l and I
of the Russian proposals. All that is
left now is the drafting of regulations
for the boards procedure.
The information from Germany IS
that Emperor William will not sep
arate himself from the other powers
in the arbitration question, and me
German delegates anticipate a tavora-
BILE decision on that point.
The work is now so far advanced
that the conference will probably take
a holiday after June %, in order TO al
low the delegates to refer to their re
spective governments for final instruc-
lions.
Mr.. Frederick Hollis of the American
delegation, abiding this evening to
the German attitude said: This mat
ter is much exaggerated. Active nego-
tiations took place, but Germany is in
no way irreconciliable and would lot
hesitate, more than the other powers
to agree to an arbitration court estap-
lshed on an acceptable basis"

parently lifeless, huddled on the seat
and entirely covered with robe.
He examined the carriage closely, but
at a little distance, and says that it
was an old-fashioned vehicle, or at least
a very old vehicle. because It was much
the worse for wear. The horse. which
next attracted his attention was a
dark bay. II was tied to a tree. The
harness had partly slipped from its
back. and was touching the ground.
He particularly noticed that the
horse had a bad hind leg. There was
a lump on the leg. or else a swelling Of
a large portion Of the leg below the
knee. He was inclined to think the
latter. and to think that the horse had
what is sometimes called milk leg"
How much time he occupied in these
observations Mr.. Wade does not know
accurately. The place was lonesome.
the situation was strange and he thinks

had been driven off the main road, over
an uneven, brush grown stretch of land
into a clump of bushes and small
trees.
The driver of the team must have
exercised unusual care in getting into
this place, because there Is no we'll de-

make unpleasant footing for d horse.
Mr.. Wade. in telling the story to The
Spy man, this morning, said that he
was so impressed by the sight of a
horse and carriage partly hidden among
the brush and trees in such strange
place, that he jumped off his wheel to
make a closer examination.
Not satisfied with the view to be
gained from the road, he walked

LOOKS DOUBTFUL.
Possible That Boston Still Has Use for
Jimmy Stafford


Base ball fans were alive last evening
looking for the arrival in Worcester OF
Jimmy Stafford of the Bostons, but he
didn't come Stafford played with the
Bostons in Pittsburg yesterday and dld
a handsome trick. In the sixth inning
Duffy stood on third and Frisbee was
at bat. There were two strikes on him
and he was taken out. Stafford was sent
to bat in his place, and lined out sin
gle which scored Duffy.
Manager Leonard of the Worcesters
expects Stafford for today's game. The
last information he received from Man
ager Selee of Boston was yesterday, ana
said that Stafford would he here for to-
days game. After his performance o.
yesterday it's a good guess to tell what
will become of Stafford. If he comes to-
day, Harrington will, be sent to center
and Sharrott will be played In right.
Manager Leonard has not given up
hope of getting Leach back. He VIII get
Manager Selee of the Bostons to get
him again for Worcester If possible.
Leach was not popular in Louisville, al
though he played good ball. For that
reason Manager Leonard has hopes OF
bringing him back.
Manager Leonard has interviewed
several prominent men OF this city con-
corning the formation of a stock com
pany, as outlined in The Spy several
days ago. He has received encourage
ment and the company will be formed
next week. meeting of gentlemen in

Judging from the success which the
team is meeting financially at present,
it won't be hard to organize stock

Creates a Disturbance.

Louisville KY, June 2S.-For the third
time in as many days, the democratic state
convention tonight broke up in disorder.
1t will enter upon the fourth day of it's
sessions tomorrow, without having &C
lcomplished anything more than temporary
organization
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was reached in the order of bust
ness tonight, but its consideration was
prevented by the disturbing influence of
persons who were admitted to the floor
of the convention though not entitled to
seats.
The Hardin people place the respon-
sibilty for this on local sympathizers with
the Stone-Goebel combination but the
latter candidates disclaim all knowledge
of an attempt to pack the convention,
and declare the disturbance was due to
loose methods of the arrangements com
mittee.
