QUESTIONS THE PROPERTY.
The President May Not Attend a Banquet
to Gen. Otis at Rochester June Is,
Though He Is Invited.

Washington, May 2-Representa-
tive O'Grady introduced to the presi-
dent Friday a number of prominent
citizens of Rochester, n. Y, who came
to invite him to attend the reception
and banquet to be given to Gen. Otis
on his return from the Philippines,
June Is. The president spoke of Gen.
Otis in terms of high praise and said
he would esteem it a privilege to join
in doing him honor. He questioned,
however, the propriety of his doing so.
No one in his judgment should be
present, who by reason of his SUI
perior rank would necessarily share
the honors which were intended for
Gen. Otis alone. He would, however,
take the matter up with Secretary
Root and in any event the regular
army would be represented by such
troops as were available

JEFFRIEs won.
Hsavyweight Pugiiist Champion Knocked
CORbatt Out in the Tweney-Thtrd
Round-Batsls Close one

Coney Island, n. Y, May 12.-Jim
Jeffries is still the heavyweight cham
pion pugilist of the world. He de-
feated Jim Corbett in the. twenty
third round of their fight with a de-
cisive knockout. Corbett had been
making a wonderful battle. His de-
tense was absolutely perfect and,
while he was lacking in strength, he
had more than held his own and
stood an excellent chance of winning
the fight had it gone the limit. He
had not been badly punished and had
managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was a short left
jolt to the jaw. Corbett dropped
like a weight and was clear out. JEFF
fries showed his ability to take punch
ing at any distance, and hard, but
was clearly outboxed and at times
made to look like a novice. Corbett
has regained much of his old-time
form. The battle was clean and it is
doubtful if there was a single infrac-
ton of the rules. The crowd was
most orderly.

Capt. ConeY,a Ire Aron.ed.

A Topeka special to the Kansas City
Times said that Capt. P. II. Coney, of
Topeka, was preparing to prosecute
Cyrus Leland for publishing letter
which he wrote to Pool Grinstead, of
Doniphan county, and which, it is al
legged, was published in Topeka
newspaper before Grinstead saw it.
This letter was of considerable value
to Capt. Coney and he was very
anxious to have it's contents remain
a secret to everybody with the ex-
ception of Grinstead, to whom it was
written. The letter set forth the plan
which the 'anti-boss" league after
ward pursued in working for the par
don of Grinstead, who is serving a
sentence in the Doniphan county Jail.
The letter declared that the league
would call upon Gov. Stanley in a
body and demand Grinstead's pardon,
and in case the governor refused the
league would vote against Stanley's
reelection.

DESPITE EXPANSION.
Andrew Carnegie, the IrOnmaster, Says He
VIII Support Mckinley for President
II Bryan Is Nominated.

New York, May 14.-On account CT
Andrew Carnegie's anti-expansion sen
timent it has often been stated that
he would support Mr.. Bryan against
Mr.. Mckinley in the national cam
paign. His first positive utterance on
this point is printed in the Brooklyn
Eagle, in cable from London, which
reports Mr.. Carnegie as saying:
President Mckinley will be reelected,
for the democrats are certain to renom-
mate Bryan. I cannot support the Ne
braskan, nor assist the democratic ticket
in any way. Mr.. Bryan cannot put life
into silver again; the people have decided
that question and they are against it.
Mr.. Mckinley is likely to prove a better
president in his second term that he was
during his first. His instincts are right
and he has been right all questions
at first.

Loshua Won His Case.

Last fall the Montgomery county
= commissioners appointed Joshua Per-
kins superintendent of the poor farm
for period of Is months. When the
new board organized in January it
resolved to dispense with Joshua,
but the latter would not have it that
way. He refused to vacate and all
the county stock was removed from
the farm and an attempt made to
starve Perkins out, also stopping his
salary and refusing to pay bills con-
tracted by him. Perkins remained
and the suit was brought to eject
him. In the district court he won
the case.
