PROFESSOR STARR ofthe University OF
Chicago, is OF the opinion that the peo-
pie of this country will turn into In
dams in a few centuries. Judging from
he outrages their soldiers have COM
mitted in the newly conquered pro-
vlDces and in China, as narrated, not
BY the people of those countries, but
by themselves, many of them have al
ready undergone that change, as the
outrages referred to have not
been exceeded for cruelty and barbara
ty by those ever perpetrated by the
most savage Indian tribes.

ACCORDING TO the President and
Governor Roosevelt, the Cubans have
been blessed with liberty and indie
pendepce, bu,, all the same. General
Wood, the commander of the U. 3.
troops In Cuba, yesterday removed
from Office four Cuban judges in the
city of Havana. Is it at all wonderful
that the natives of Cuba hate this coun-
try, and would gladly renew their al
leaiance to SpsiDP As the possession OF
the island, instead of being profitable to
this country, is really an immense ex-
pepse to it, why the imperialists hold
on to it, they do not tell.

DEMOCRATS NEVER profit by choos'
iuy one Of two republicans. 1.-two re-
publicans are running for office, they
should vote for a tried and true blue
member OF their own party, and though
they may not be able to elect him this,
or the next year, they will do so
eventually, 'or the truth lie mighty and
must prevail 10 the end. Philadelphia
now has no democratic Congressman,
though it has one district that is called
democratic. The real democrats in it
should nominate one of themselves,
who will work and speak for the IA.
tionsl democratic ticket. and strive to
elect him, DO matter il he be defeated.

Knocked Out Jack Hanley In
Seventh Round.
THE QUAKER WAS EASY
Peter Maher Recalls a Decision
to Fight Fitz.
McGoYern and Dave Sullivan
Matched For May 4.

Weir City, Kan, March 21.-In the
seventh round OF what was to have
been a twenty round bout, James
"Rube" Ferns knocked out Jack Han
ley, of Philadelphia, at the opera house
in this city last night. The contest was
for the entire gate receipts and the
house was comfortably filled. The fight
ing all through was fast, furious and
rather scientific. While Hanley proved
to be one of the gamest men that ever
took his place in the ring, lack of judg-
ment and poor advisers wrought his de-
feat much sooner than it otherwise
would have done. The sixth round was
give and take, Hanley went to his cor
ner tired and groggy. He came for the
seventh much refreshed and rested, but
Ferns bored in. placing his left with
terrific force on the mark and the
Quaker City man dropped as if shot
When eight seconds had elapsed he
arose and gamely put up his hands.
but that terrible left of the Rube'S
reached the same spot and this time he
just got straight in the tenth second.
Ferns then, like a Boer rifleman, took
deadly aim and landed on the mark,
driving his man clear through the
ropes. He was counted out and it was
fully ten minues before he recovered
sufficiently to dress. Ferns weighed in
at 147 pounds and his opponent at $50.
HanIey was punished considerably
about the face. while Ferns did not
show a scratch. Those capable of
judging declare that it was the gamest
contest ever brought off in this city.

day to sign articles, while track owners
everywhere will offer guarantees for
every one of these races.
Michael hesitates, therefore, about
giving his final decision to the offer of
Manager Ryan OF Manhattan Beach.

himself down to one track. He will give
the promoters time to arrange things
nicely for him, and in the meantime will
ride horses at the Washington meeting,
which opens on April ,, and at the
Aqueduct, opening on April 16.

of the Treasury.

Albany, N. Y. March Git is said
here that an agreement exists between
President Mckinley and Senator Platt
that in the event of the reelection of
Mckinley Platt is to be made secretary

All his life Platt has hankered after
a place in the cabinet. OF all the places

He wants it for the honor and influence
and prominence that goes with it, and
especially for the vast amount OF
patronage that it controls.

He will permit Hanna and Mckinley

SUES FOR $4,000.
Odd Mistake of a Sheriff Leads to
Court Troubles.

Oswego March 21.-John Byrun, a
farmer living near Oswego. has filed suit
for $1,000 in damages against Sheriff
Edwards, Deputy Sheriff Disch and
their bOndsmen.
Last summer a hold-up occurred near
the Katy depot at Oswego and officers
and citizens turned out to hunt the rob-
bers. Near the crossing of the Katy
and Frisco railroad Deputy Sheriff
Disch ran across Byrum and as neither
knew the other supposed that each was
one of the thieves and shots were ex-
changed between the two men. Byrum
was shot in the shoulder and since
which time he has not been able to use
one of his arms. After the shooting the
identity of the two men became known
the matters were thought to have been
admirably adjusted. but the fling of
the present suit shows that trouble has
broken out in a fresh place.

CORONETS ARE CHEAP.
IFrom the London chronicle.l

IFIOm the London ChrOnicIe.I
No man need go without a coronet when
he can buy one upon such terms which
can only be described as ridiculously
cheap. The current catalogue of a dealer
IN odds and ends Of curiosities offers a
dueal diadem I'm hall marked silver,
paru-guilt." for Sc los. It is quite certain
That a new one could not be obtained
for anything like the money. Inciden-
tally, the announcement shows the popu-
lar impression that ccronets are of gold
TO be erroneous. 1t is odd that so digni-
fed a property should have made it's way
70 a secondhand shop, but peers wear
their circlets only at coronauons, and
those occasions are happily so rare that
the business Of a -coronet maker must be
even worse than that of askate manu-
6acturer.

HANNA'S FOES EXPELLED.
Men Who Voted Against Him Put
Out of Tippecanoe Club.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 21.-The Tip
pecanoe club, Cleveland's famous Re-
publican organization, through its board
of directors, at a meeting held yester-
day afternoon in the clubrooms, expell-
ed from membership ex-Mayor Robert
E. McKisson, ex-State Senator Vernon
H. Burke, and ex-State Representative
Harry Mason. Similar action would
have been taken against ex-State Rep
resentative NJ. F. Bramley, but it was
found that the club last September had
dropped him from membership because
of non-payment of dues.
The meeting was held as secretly as
possible, the intention being to have
little or no publicity given to the mat
ter. Members of the board promised
that they would not divuIge the pro-
ceedings.
The directors found McKisson, Bran
ley, Burke, and Mason guilty of having
both openly and secretly, and in viola
ton of the constitution OF the club, en-
tered into a conspiracy with the. Dem
ocratic members of the legislature in
Columbus in January, 1893, to defeat
the election of M. A. Hanna, the Re
publican nominee for the United States
senate Speaker Mason of the Ohio
house and State Senator Burke, acting
under the direction of Mayor McF<isson,
voted for McKisson and against Hanna
for the senate.
Hanna was elected, and the Tfppe-
canoe club tried to punish them by ex-
pulsion, but they secured an injunction
restraining the club from such action.
Recently this injunction was dissolved.
