NO MORE PRIZE FIGHTS.
Chicago Council, BY a Vote of So to
"a, Passes an Ordinance PrOhib-
iting Contests of This Kind.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-There will be no
more prize fights held in Chicago I'M
less Mayor Carter Harrison vetoes an
anti-fight resolution almost unani-
mously adopted by the city council
Monday night. The unsatisfactory
ending of the Gans-McGovern contest
at Tattersall's last Thursday night
stirred up such a feeling that the
council decided all pugihstic encOun-
tiers should be prohibited in the flu
ture. According to the resolution
adopted, no permits for sparring or
boxing exhibitions can be issued by
the mayor, and the chief of police is
held responsible for the law being
carried out. 1t is believed the mayor
will sign the ordinance, as it passed
by a vote of SIS to IA. The penalty
against prize fighting, according to
the state law, is from one to ten years
imprisonment in the penitentiary for
each offense.

BURIFD ALIVE.
Three Men Under Thirty-Ffve Feet
of Earth in an Irrigation Canal
Near ChadrOn, Neb.

Chadron, Neb., Dec. 2O-Three men
were on Wednesday afternoon buried
alive beneath 35 feet of earth in an
irrigation canal four miles east of
this city. Their names are: T. c.
Burns. of Montana; Staunch Burns,
his son; Woody Litchfield, hired
man. Burns, ST., was wealthy ranch
and sheep owner who came here re-
Gently and invested heavily in irriga-
bic lands. He was experimenting
the building of the irrigation canal
when the accident occurred. Half
the male population of this city left
for the scene of the accident with
teams and shovels, hoping to rescue
them. 1t is thought, however, that
the men can not survive until re-
leased, the ground being sandy

been SmOthered.

New Orleans, Dec. 2O.-A special
from Gulfport, Miss, says: Wednes-
day evening about 5 o'clock Albert
Lewis, a Negro, became involved in a
quarrel with Marshal w. E. Richard
son over the arrest of his nephew.
During the alteration the nephew
shot and killed Richardson. Three
shots in all were fired. The first
shot struck the marshal in the back,
ranging to the front, through the
heart. After firing three shots old
man Lewis and his nephew and son
ran westward along the railroad.

graphed for from Biloxi and arrived
at p. m. They were at once given

ing the dogs and short work will be

of the Negroes have taken to their
houses as they realize that it is not
safe for any of them to be found on
the streets.

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
Situation Is Desperate, and Amerf-
can Lives and Property Are
ImminentIy Endangered.

New York, Dec. 2O.-A second ca
blegram, additional to that which
came Tuesday, was received Wednes-
day by Vice President A. ID. An
drews, of the National Asphalt Co.,
concerning the revolution which has
broken out in Venezuela. This sec
Ond cablegram asserts that the stu
alton is extremely desperate as re-
CARDS Americans and their property
in the South American republic. The
message, which was sent by a repre-
sentative of the National Asphalt
Co. which has extensive interests in
Nene uela, is urgent in its appeal for
immediate action by the United States
for the protection of Americans
whose lives and properties are immi-
nently endangered.
A general attack, the cablegram
says, is being planned upon all Amer
lean interests in Venezuela, and if sue
cor in the prompt dispatch of war
ships by the United States govern
ment is not forthcoming at once the
results may prove disastrous.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Sir Charles Dixie Says That other
Countries Besides England and
America Are Interested.

London, Dee. 19.-Sir Charles Dilkcs,
in an interview published Wednesday
morning in the Daily Chronicle, en-
phasizezs the fact that other countries
besides Great Britain are interested IN
the Nicaragua canal. He points ii
that France is interested by treaty
and Germany by trading enterprises,
so that the question can not be treat
ed, in his opinion, as merely one be-
tween Great Britcin and the United
States. No great Importance is at
tached by Sir Charles to the question
of fortification or the position of the
canal in time of war. He thinks the
matter is essentially and entirely
commercial and that the fertilization
is being used as a stalking horse for
the public"

Returning SOLDIERS
Volunteer Regiments Come in Same

The Both Regiment VIII De Trans

Vided By the Army Bill.

Manila, Dec. 19.-The volunteer regi-
ments viii proceed to the United
States to be mustered out in practi-
cally the same order as they arrived
in the Philippine islands. They will
be replaced by regulars provided by
the army bill. The 37th volunteer
regiment, which is to begin the home
ward movement by embarking ON New
Years day, will be brought from the
Laguna de Bay district and will sail
on the transport Sheridan. The
women and sick soldiers who were to
sail on the Sheridan will leave ON the
Warren Saturday. The 18th cavalry,
which is to follow the 37th volunteer
regiment, will be transferred here
from Camarines province, and will
sail January is on the Meade.
The Both regiment, which began
service the earliest, in July, 1899, is
now in the province of Iloeos, but will
be transported here soon.

rounds of ammunition per regiment
The men will retain their haversacks
and utensils.
Volunteers desiring to leave the
service and remain in the Philippines
viii be allowed to do so. Enlisted ma
tives will be discharged.
1t is believed that the temporary
depletion of many posts and the
checking of operations will result in
renewed insnrgent activity, and the
announcement Tuesday afternoon of
the early commencement of transpor-
tatiOn home of the volunteers caused
surprise.

SELLS DIVORCE CASE SETTLED.
ShOwmnn's Wife Gets $4,000 and
Attorney Fees Paid-LOnE Trial
Ends in a Compromise.

Columbus, o., Dec. 19.--Before court
opened Tuesday morning the attor-
neys in the Sells case admitted that
they had reached an agreement which
would settle the case. Only the mat
tee of alimony could be agreed
upon, as the matter of di-
vorce rests entirely with the
court, but the agreement is that
Mrs. Sells will make NO further de-
Tense, which would practically secure
divorce for Sells.
When court convened the defense
confirmed the compromise rumor by
announcing that they rested their
case.
1t is understood that the alimony
compromise gives Mrs. Sells $4,000,
and, in addition, her attorneys are
paid by Peter Sells.

able to hold court Tuesday, but would
be a little late in arriving. He
reached the court house at GAS.

the defense to proceed with their evil
dence Col. j. 7. Holmes simply said:

compromise on alimony. Peter Sells
gets his divorce. Tuesday evening

NOTE WAS MODIFIED.
Final Agreement on the Demands
to be Made On China Reached.
The Formal Negotiations For q
Peace Settlement Will Begin
SOOn-The Main POinta in
the Joint Note.

Peking, Dec. 2O.-At a meeting of
the foreign ministers late Wednesday
evening everything in regard to the
terms of the joint note. was agreed
to, including the British modifica-
tons. The ministers refuse to dis
close anything in connection with the
matter, believing that the home gov
ernments should give the particulars
to the public.
Washington, Dec. .20.-While moth
ing had been heard from Mr.. Conger
up to 9 o'clock Wednesday night re-
garding the agreement said to have
been reached in Picking Wednesday
Chinese note, the officials confidently
hope that the statements are correct
and that the way is now paved for
it's formal presentation to the Chi
nese plenipotentiaries.
The officials here are unable to say
just what the British notifications
referred to in the Picking dispatch
are. but it is believed they rested
upon the exclusion of the "irrevoca-
BILE" clause which this government
has all along insisted must not appear
in the preamble of the note. Minister
Conger has positive instructions from
this government on this subject, and
the preamble to the joint note, it is
understood, will not contain that
word. The Chinese peace ENJOYS will
be given a reasonable time within
which to consider the demands made,
and then will follow the formal ne
gotiations for the settlement of the
peace terms.
Officials here still decline to make
public the text of the note agreed on,
but it is believed that the following
points cover the essential features of
the agreement:
The punishment of the officials
guilty of the Boxer outrages.
The payment of indemnity for the
wrongs inflicted by the Boxers to the
persons, corporations and societies
which have suffered.
The revision of commercial trea-
ties.

men, so that the ministers having
business with the foreign office may

A monument to Baron Won Ket-
teller, the German minister who was
killed in Picking, and the appointment
of prince of the blood to proceed
to Germany to make formal apology
to the emperor for the crime.
The right to keep legation guard
in Picking, if this is desired.
The exclusion of candidates for ex-
aminations for officers for a certain
number of years in the case of those
who may be guilty of anti-foreign
activity.
An Introduction of importation of
arms into China and of material to
be used exclusively in the manufac-
ture of arms.
The taking of measures to prevent
future troubles.
Some modification, it is believed,
was made to the proposed dis
mantling of forts, so that hereafter
there will be nothing of this char
acter that will prevent ready access
to the legations in Peking.
