WdTCOTT DEFEATS O'BRIEN.
CoIored Boxer shows Wonderful Clever

COlOret7 Boxer shows w Onderfnl Clever
ness-Rad Everything His Own Why.
New York, May 19.-Joe Walcott, the
colcred boxer, who has deserted the
ranks of the lightweights to become a
middleweight, knocked out Dick
OBrien in the fourteenth round of
their fight at the Broadway Athletic
club tonight. Walcott made a heavy
concession Of weight to the Lewiston
man, yet he won without having to take
more than half a dozen punches in re-
turn for the scores that he rained upon
his man. Wacott took lead with the
sound of the gong and save for few
seconds in the thirteenth was never
headed. He showed superiority in every
respect and it was only wonderful
stamina and capacity to take punish
ment that saved O'Brien from an earlier
defeat Half a dozen times during the
fight and before the final round he
seemed to be going, but every time his
strength came back and the rests re-
vived him. 1t was a tierce night from
the start, yet it was so uneven that it
failed to stir the crowd to a very high
pitch of enthusiasm. Walcott showed
improved form at the increased weight
and was wonderfully clever. He fire.
quently dashed his left into O'Brien's
ribs, raised it to the neck and then
planted the right on the other side of
the head and got away without a re-
turn His left was wonderfully useful
and when ever a blow seemed effective
he was all over his man with both
hands He gave O'Brien no rest and af-
ter the size up it was only a question
of time. Walcott was a favorite in the
betting at odds of 2 and 1-2 to l, but
there was not much money wagered.

ALAsKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
American Com missioners Invited to
Shaguay to View Present Conditions.


Washington, May 19.--Each Of the
| members Of the American branch OF
the joint high Canadian commission has
| received handsomely engrossed invita-
| tion from the chamber Of commerce of
| Skaguay to visit that city and view
the present conditions. The invitation
recites in strong language the desire Of
the people of Skaguay to have the COM
mission maintain to the utmost the
claims of the United States to every
foot Of territory within the thirty miles
lying between the sea and the boundary
line, as it has heretofore been recog-
nized. The invitation has made an i'm
preston upon some members of the
| commission because of the earnest ex-
preston Of the determination to MAIN
tain American rights to the utmost.
There is every Indication of the abso-
lutte and final determination of the
American commissioners to uphold this
view of the proper boundary line set out
by the people of Skaguay, If the boun-
dairy question is to be retained as one
of the subjects for the action Of the
joint commission.
1t has come to that pass in the nego-
tiations now going on in London be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian
Pauncefote on the one side and Am
bassador Choate on the other, that the
resuming of the joint commission de-
pends entirely upon the disposition
made of this Alaskan boundary ques-
ton. When the commission adjourned
last winter it was because the two
branches were unable to agree upon it.
The Americans finally proposed to drop
the boundary question entirely as sub
ject for consideration by the commits
sion, leaving it to be adjusted by Or
dinary diplomatic methods. or by arbi-
tration. The Canadians refused to con-
sent to the separa tion of this question
from the others. Therefore the adjourn
ment followed and it is necessary for
the United States and Great Britain to
agree upon one of two courses before
the commission meets again-either by
mutual agreement the boundary ques-
ton must be withdrawn as subject
for consideration or the two nations
must settle it by themselves before the
commission meets. The negotiations
now in progress are directed toward one
of these conditions.

hxPLING'S INFRINGEMENT CASE.
HIS Complaint Against Number of
American PuhIishera


New York, May 19-Counsel for the
publishers who are charged by Rud-
yard Kipling with infringement of COPY
right received a copy of the long-exp
ed complaint to-day, and the author sets
forth his grievances against various
publishers for having, as he claims, re-
produced his books without proper au-
thority. In his complaint Mr.. Kipling
declares that the action is brought
against G. P. Putnam's Sons, George
Haven Putnam and Irving Putnam;
also d. Appleton & Co.. the Doubleday
& Mcclure company Charles Scribner
and Arthur H. Scrbner, trading as
Charles Scribner's Sons, and the Cen
tury company. He says that he is tenn
porarily an inhabitant of the state Of
Vermont, and is an alien and a British
subject; that he carries on the business
of writing books, comprising tales,
sketches, ballads, verses and other lit
erary compositions and has been en-
gagged in such business for fifteen years,
during which time he has carefully
schooled himself in the requirements of
his business and in acquiring and devel-
oping a style of composition and pre-
sentation which, in his opinion, is pecu-
liar to himself.
The ground of complaint against the
defendants is that at various times the
accused publishers have gathered to-
gether, under a common name, series
of volumes of Mr.. kipling's works,
numbered in sequence, and all forming
an edition. Mr.. Kipling sets forth that
he has only one authorized edition of
his collected works in this country; that
one has been published by Scribners
and known as the outward bound edi-
tion." In support of his complaint Mr..
Kipling cites incidentally the fact that
in collecting the various short stories,
ballads and verses which he has writ
ten from time to time for newspapers
and periodicals he has devised and ap-
propriated, in advance of all others for
the purpose of identifying his own writ
ings, a name in the nature of a trade
mark; that among the names so devils
ed and first appropriated are the fol-
lowing: "Plain Tales from the Hills"
"Soldiers Three etc. Limited rights
for publication as individual volumes
were extended to various firms, but
none of them, with the exception of
Charles Scribner's sons, was authorized
to publish complete set of the au-
thor's works under one name.

FILIPINO ENJOYS IN MANILA


Desire an Armtstice Pending Session OF

Preventing Communication With
Americans.
Manila, May 20-1O:45 a. rn.-Two mil
itary and two civil Filipino commits
sioners, appointed to cooperate with
three citizens of Manila in negotiating
terms of peace, arrived here at S:15 a..
m. to-day. They have submitted no
new proposition, but want an armistice
pending the session of the Filipino con-
gress. Major General Otis has refused
to entertain the proposal.
Manila, May 1850 p. m.-General
Luna is reported to be making desper-
ate efforts to restrain the educated Fill
pointed jurisdiction, from communicat-
ing with the Americans even to arrest
ing Senors Encamino and Herrera, two
of the most influential officials, while
on their way to Malolos to join those
who are coming via San Isidro to-day.
This and the removal Of the seal of
government to Tarlac, thirty miles
north of San Fernando, may lead to
complications and delay in the pacifica-
tion. But it is generally conceded that
further opposition to American sover-
eighty is useless and ridiculous. Neither
General Luna nor General Pho del Par
has sufficient force to resist or compel
submission.
General Wheaton has been relieved of
the command of the second division
for special assignment, and General
Funston has been assigned to his brig

French of the 22d infantry, and Major

to investigate the destruction of timber
at Grants Pass, Or, by the insect or
borer that is becoming very destructive

West Virginia and other Middle and
Southern States over an area of 5000
square miles the forests have been wholly
destroyed by a borer or pest which he
thinks is the same as is reported from
this locality. and the Government is TAX

that the healthy timber in this locality

fired without a single one taking effect.
