M,GOTERN WINS IN TWO ROUNDS.
Suspicious Bout win Lenny = Finish
Looked Like a Quit.

Philadelphia March 15.-A large
crowd saw Terry McGovern, champion
feather weight of the world, defeat
Eddy Lenny of Philadelphia at the In
dustrial Athletic club, tonight In the
second round of what was to have been
a six round contest. Lenny was COM
pletely outclassed and in the final
round was knocked down three times
III the one minute and forty-five sec
onds, Lenny's finish, in the opinion Of
the fighting men present, had the ap-
pearance Of being quit. The first
knock down was the only hard punch
of this round, being a swinging right
on the local mans Jaw, He took the
full ten seconds and McGovern then
rushed at him with his usual speed and
with a couple of light body blows sent
him to the floor again. The local man
again took the full time in coming to
the mark, when after couple of passes
Terry landed a light body blow on the
Philadelphia lad following 1t up with
a right on the jaw. Lenny was then
counted out. The first round was with
out any interest. There We're no hard
blows struck McGovern took his time,
apparently waiting an opportunity to
land heavily.

vERY sATIsFA Glory no ENGLAND.
The Manner Ina Which the War Is Pro-
gressing.

| London, March 16-3 a. m.-Events are
moving in the South African campaign
in a speedy and satisfactory manner,
from both the military and political
points of view. It could hardly have
been expected by the most sanguine
Englishmen that they would take a turn
so favorable. 1t appears that when
Major Weston cut the railway north of
| Bloemfontein he thereby intercepted
General Joubert who, far from having
retired from the campaign, was then
coming southwark With three thousand
men, presumably to superintend the de-
fense. Elaborate defense works, three
miles long, had been prepared outside
the town. No Boer wounded were left
in Bloemfontein. When asked the rea-
son by Lord Roberts, Mr.. Frazer re-
piled: THE burghers do not like fish
and would not care to go to Cape
Town."
The evidence goes to show that so far
as the southern part of the Free State
is concerned there will be no further
resistance. 1t is understood that Mr..
Frazer, Mr. Vessels and other leaders
are quite prepared to accept the posi-
tion of a self government British colo
ny.
The cheers which greeted the reading
in parliament yesterday of the corre-
spendence with the United States are
re-echoed throughout the country. The
speech of M. Delcasse has increased
this satisfaction, and, taken with the
general belief that Emperor Nicholas
is personally averse to intervention,
these incidents spread the idea that
there will be no further serious attempt
to interfere from any quarter,
Montagu Whites threat in an Ameri-
can newspaper that the Beers will sac
rifice Johannesburg and raze 1t to the
ground, if necessary, is not taken very
seriously. Mr.. Chamberlain state
ment that President Kruger has al
ready been warned as to the conse-
quence of such conduct is regarded as
showing that sufficient precaution has
been taken. The Times suggests that
burghers should be warned that their
farms will be taxed as a guarantee
against any damage to British proper
ty; but no serious apprehensions are
entertained of such conduct as Mr..
White is said to have foreshadowed. J.
B. Robinson, the millionaire mine
owner, says he does not believe the
Beers would be SO foolish.
BY the time Lord Roberts reaches the |
Vaal river he will command some $4,000
men, while General Butler will have
10000. From the military point of
view the critics now think there is moth
ing to fear.

BOER REPLY TO SALISBURY
REPUTATION OF CHARGES II.
BRITISH PREMIER'S NOTE.
Burgher Army and Ultimatum Merely
Protective Mensures-An Attempt
Charged Against British Cabinet OFF,
GERS to FlIch Away the Republics In
dependence-Must Fight for National
Existence.

Pretoria, Wednesday, March IA
! Secretary Reitz's refutation of Lord Sal
isburys argument in the reply to the
Bloemfontein joint note was issued to-
night Mr.. Reitz says:
THE British government after the
Bloemfontein conference endeavored to
enforce by threats certain changes in
the internal government of the Trans
vaal republic contrary to the London
convention. They also imported troops
in great number and broke off negotia-
tions with a threat to take their own
means to remove the grievances of their
subjects
After waiting fortnight, while an
army corps was prepared and the re-
serves We're being called out by the
British, President Steyn asked the rea-
son of these proceedings. Sir Alfred
Milner refused to reply.
Meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain in his
speeches showed the world that Eng
land had decided on war. Accordingly
the Transvaal republic addressed to the
British government a demand for the
withdrawal of their troops, as otherwise
it would accept the presence of the
troops as a declaration of war. This
was not necessarily intended as mes
sage of war.
Concerning the ornaments, Mr.. Reitz
says: ''These We're bought openly in
England and in Europe, and the high
commissioner boasted full knowledge of
them at the Bloemfontein conference;
and also full descriptions Of these ar
maments We're found among the Off
GERS papers at Dundee. Both the army
and the ultimatum were protective
measures, subsequent to the raid and to
the discovery, through concealed cables,
that British cabinet ministers were inn
plicated in the attempt to fitch away
the independence of the republics. Now
all doubt is removed by Lord Sails
bury's telegram. The burghers must
fight for their national existence, trust
ing that God will defend the right"

EXCITEMENT IN THE SENATE.
Penrose and Galiinger Question Each
Others Vcracity Over Quay Case.

! Washington, March 15.-"I assert
| most emphatically that when the sem
ator says told him / should not speak
on this subject, he does not state the
| truth" This is the sensational retort
made in the senate to-day by Mr.. Gal
linger of New Hampshire to state
ment just made by Mr.. Penrose, rep,
Of Pennsylvania.
| Senators were astounded and the au-
ditors in the galleries quivered with ex-
element. There had scarcely been the
slightest intimation that the debate
would take such turn. For nearly
three hours the senate had under dis
cusson the bill appropriating $2,095,000
for the benefit of the people of Puerto
Rico. Mr.. Fairbanks of Indiana had
| just concluded some remarks on the
measure and suggested that the senate
proceeded to the consideration OF ex
ecutive business Pending a motion
to that effect, Mr.. Penrose, who has
charge of the case of former Senator
Quay suggested that a time be fixed
for a vote on the case. In the course
of his remarks he intimated that GER
tain senators We're throwing obstacles
In the way of a vote and Indicated that
Mr.. Gallinger was one of those sena-
tors.
Mr.. Gallinger quietly replied that he
desired to be heard on the question, but
had not had an opportunity to speak.
Mr.. Penrose retorted that the New
Hampshire senator had assured him
that he did not expect to speak on the
Quay case.
Instantly Mr.. Gallinger was on his
feet and with evident feeling and with
great vehemence replied as above quot
ed II don't know whether | do not
speak the truth" hotly replied Mr.. Pen
rose, cor whether the senator from New
Hampshire failed to tell me the truth"
Mr.. Gallinger retorted that the whole
proceeding of Mr. Penrose was unmanly
and beneath his notice. The proposition
to fix time for a vote was postponed
until tomorrow, but 1T was some time
before the excitement subsidized.
The debate on the appropriation bill
developed a decided difference of opn-
ion as Mr.. Jones of Arkansas offered a
senate substitute for the measure, bill
to return the duties to those who had
paid them and providing for absolute
free trade between the United States
and Puerto Rico The bill had not been
disposed of when the Quay case was
called up. Mr.. wellington, rep, OF Ma
ryland, presented an Z elaborate argu-
ment against the seating Of Mr.. Quay,
and the remainder of the session was
consumed in a running discussion of
the constitutional questions involved
