The passing of Quigg-- -Lemuel Ely
whose political prominence in New
York politics was always much of a
mystery to those who knew him, is
thus foretold by the New York Evening
Post; "All the signs indicate that
Lemuel E. Quigg is rapidly approach
ing the end Of his career as an Ameri-
can statesman. His continued promi.
nence in the Republican Organization,
of course, depends entirely upon Platt,
and the boss was always sure to dror
him the momunt that he should LOSE
his value as mouth piece and errand
boy. That time appears to have come,
in the riew of the arbiter of his dss
tinies, as also in that Of everybod,
else, and the "dull thud'' produced
by his fall may be heard at any hour
Quigg has done a larger political bust
ness on q smaller capital than any
other man who has reached proninenc,
in New York politics. /"

The total of tho casualties sustained
by our troops in the Philippines in
creases daily, and is 3.3l0 to date,
estimating since August 9th, 1868.
The deaths number 1881, of which 373
were killed in action, 2l3 died Of
wounds and accidents, and sos died of
disease. Tho latter item is significant,
as showing that the total considerably
exceeds the total Of those killed in
battle and those who died fiom wounds
and accidents. The wounded number
1,919. These figures are not alarming
when viewed from the standpoint Of
war in general, but in this war-cruel,
causeless and unnecessary-it forms a
startling array Of lost lives, and Of men
incapacitated by wounds and sickness,
10 say nothing of the heavy financial
cost also imposed upon tax -burdened
people.

Tho Lewes Pilot effectually destroys
the extenuating plea CT tho Union Re-
Publicans that the financial mis-
management of Sussex county, for
which they are responsible, is largely
due to eatravagant allowances to
county officers. The Pilot points out
that the Union Republican Levy Court
makes these allowances, and is there
fore responsible for the extravaganza.
tor this reason, it fails to soc how the
Democracy can be saddlcd with any
responsibilities.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana is catch-
ing it all around for his vain glorious
speech on tho Philippine question, and
Republicans are his severest critics.
Senator Woloott took him in hand the
other day, and scored him for his ridicu.
lous assumption that the politicians of
this country could be depended upon to
give the people of the Philippines the
finest kind of government, administered
with strict honesty. with tho munich
pal corruption that all admitted ex-
listed, it was ridiculous" he said, "to
talk cf appointing lot Of Indiana
politicians in tho Philippines and let
ting the reflected glory of the republic
shine across tho seas" With all their
lack of experience, it is certain that the
worst kind of self-goverpmsnt tho Fill
pinos could administer would be SUPER
ior to the government they would get at
the hands Of the politicians Of this
country.

tween Kid Mccoy and Tommy Ryan at
Tattersalls' last Tuesday night, which
Referee Malachy Hogan awarded to Nc
Coy at the end of the sixth round. has
now been officially declared a draw. I'm
mediately after the fight Ryan protested
against the decision, claiming that the
contestants had agreed upon a draw if
both should be on their feet at the wind
up, emphasizing his protest with fistic
assault on Hogan They were separated
by the police and Hogan disclaimed any
knowledge of the agreement between the
boxers. The Tattersa1ls' Athletic aSSOcia-
ton tonight officially rescinded the deci-
sion in the following statement:
ITO the Public-Owing to the public
controversy ensuing on the decision rem

to Mr.. Tommy Ryan, the Tattersalls'
cision of Referee Malachy Hogan in the

TOMMY RYAN SICK.
As a result of injuries to his spine, re-
Sails with kid" Mccoy, Tommy Ryan is
unable to leave his bed in n downtown
hotel. Ryan complained soon after the
fall he received in the second round that
his back felt wrenched. Little heed was
paid to the trouble, however, as it did not
seem to affect the speed of his fighting.
Ryan went to bed within an hour after
the close of the fight and yesterday morn
ing was unable to get up. He complained
of severe pains in the lower part of his
back and the services of a physician were
secured Little could be done, but after
an hours rubbing and other treatment,
Ryan felt better He will be unable to be
up and about for several days, the doctor
thought. as absolute rest is necessary.
The full extent of the injuries can. not be
| realized for at least two days.
ROOT FIGHT MAY BE PUT OFF.
Tommy said last night he thought the
injuries would require the postponement
of his fight with Jack Root for the mid
| dle-weight championship of the world
now but fifteen days off. He added that
| he had intended to remain here but few
| hours, as he was going to Syracuse and
| finish up his training for that important
| fight. The present injuries will cause a
bad break in the training of the middle
! weight, and as he has a high regard for
| Roots ability he will not fight him unless
! he is in the best of condition 1t is
! thought probable some effort looking to 3
| postponement of the fight will be made to-
day.

THE COMING COUNTRY.
Wonderful Possibilities of Siberia Set
Forth.

Washington, June Consul J. G. Co
vert at Lyons. France, has provided the
state department some important facts
concerning the resources and present
conditions in Siberia which were
brought out at a conference held at
Lyons recently when the possible COM
petition of Siberia with other cereal pro-
ducing countries was discussed over
200 farmers it was stated arrive in ST.
IBERIA annually the government provid-
ing them free transportation and giving
each family the free use of 3712 acres
of land for a stated time. The popula-
ton Of Siberia is now 5000 900 but bas-
ing the computation upon the pOpula-
ton of Russia in Europe, is capable of
sustaining S0,000000.
The annual production of cereals in
Siberia is at present about 600 600 tons
but the country is able to produce TO-
COO, 900 tons each year, one-ha1f of which
would be subject to expectation. Al
though Siberia produces one-tenth of all
the gold in the World, on account of the
climate and lack of transportation ia
cilities. few of the great mines have
been thoroughly worked. The immense
coal deposits too have been scarcely
touched. A single mine in Siberia is
said to contain as much coal as all the
deposits in England combined. The
consul states that the transsiberian
railroad in three years will have reach
ed Port Arthur, making the distance
between Moscow and Pekin only 10 or
IA days.
French capitalists Consul Covert says.
complain bitterly of the meagre recip-
rocal trade from Russia In return for
something like 700 900 600 francs invest
ed in Russia, the latter makes her pur-
| chases in the United States England
and Germany and France receive onIy
Russian products as dividends for the
