advantage of the lull TO deliver a heavy

Decision Over ED In a Bout
at Syracuse.

SYRACUSE. N. V. Oct. 2s.-Ed Dunk
horst, of Syracuse, lost to Peter Maher in
the seventh round of what was to have been
a ten-round go before the Monarch Ath.
letic Club here tonight on a foul. The
rules under which the men fought stipulat-
ed that they should break clean at the
of the referee. When Dunkhorst
saw that he was bound to be whipped he
deliberately violated this rule, and after re-
peated warnings the referee gave the de-
cision to Maher. Dunkhorst never had q
chance. He was completely outpointed by
Maher, who gave him a terrific pummeling.
Maher had little difficulty I'm reaching
Dunkhorst's face and chin when he pleased,
but could not put him out. The fighting
was not very hot until the sixth round,
when Maher opened with a volley OF swings
and jabs that would have put an end to the
fight then and there had his opponent been
a more vulnerable man than Dunkhorst.
The latter could offer no resistance and be-

REJOICING AT CAPE TOWN.
Capture OF V%iIjOen Received with Sat

misunderstanding Among Beers.
CAPE TOWN, Oct. Z.-The capture Of
General Viljoen is a cause of great sat
isfaction to the ~outlanders. He Is the
author of the blasphemous and violent PAM
phlet virtually intended to incite the Dutch
of the colony to rebellion, and it is sincere
ly hoped that he will be brought to trial
and punished as he deserves.
1t is difficult to gauge exactly the amount
Of feeling excited among the Dutch by
the recent British victories. Their be-
havior, on the whole, is excellent, consid-
ering the great amount of sympathy they
feel for the kinsmen in the Transvaal and
Orange Free State. The Britishers re-
ceive the news of each success in Natal and
Of the grand stand at Mafeking with the
widest enthusiasm, but the Dutch are ST.
lent. Now and then a few. who are more
violent than the rest, express their sorrow
openly, but the general feeling is perhaps
one of relief at the thought that the Brit
ish success will not compel them to face the
possibility Of giving active support to the
enemy.
The reports of the kind treatment accord
ed to the Boer wounded meet with I'M
stinted admiration, bringing into marked
relief the magnanimity of Great Britain, a
magnanimity which the Dutch admit they
had not expected to be displayed toward
the Beers.
A difficult problem is looming. owing to
the increased race feeling aroused by the
war. but indications are frequent and SUBJ
stantial that the mists of acrimonious dis
cussion are being dispersed by Great Brit
