THE HORTON LAW IS DEAD
Prize Fighters Turning Their Faces
 Toward San Francisco.

New York, Aug. 3.-At midnight to- night the Horton law. which has made prize fighting permissible in the me tropolis and throughout the state of New York, ceases to exist. and simul- taneously the Lewis bill prohibiting pugilistic COntcs.s beromc a law. For many months past the fight promoters and the fighters have reapad q golden harvest in this vicinity. In fact. the neld for, money y-making in this. dirac- ton Was the richest ever known in tha annals of prize fighting in this or any other country. In New York city fl ghts have been pulled off at the rate of q dozen week, and within period of six or eight months every big fighter of prominence in the country has been seen in the ring of one or another of the co called clubs that have four lshed like green bay trees under the protection of the Horton law.
 The new condition of things is a seri- Gus blow to those financially inteTes ed in the sport. No new field promising satisfactory financial returns is of 1ered them. There has been some talk of migrating to Connecticut. where tWenty-round contests are still permit led' but the citizens of the Nutmeg state have Lot taken kindly to the suggestion. and, furthermore. the chances Of getting together a raying crowd for a big fight in Hartford or Bridgeport are not particularly bright. Chlcago. Boston. Philadelphia and other large cities limit the fights to six rounds. while New Orleans. once the paradise of the fighters. continues to 1foWn upon the sport. Altogether san francisco seems to offer the best in duceiEents and it is probable that a number of the fighters and their man agers will turn their faces westward next Week

WE ARE WITH RUSSIA.
On a Proposition to Withdraw From
 Pekin.

Washington. Aug. 31.-The state de- partment makes public a communica- ton from Russia declaring that Russia has no designs of territorial acquisi tion in China. She has occupied Neiu Chwang for military purposes and soon as order is restored proposes to retire the troops therefrOm. Russia has di rected her minister to retire from China and will withdraw her troops and when the Chinese government shall regain the reins of authority Russia will ap- point representatives for negotiations.
 The United States expresses satisfac -tion over Russia's declaration repu- diating territorial acquisition, but de- clares in favor of the continued Occu- patton of P5kin until the Chinese gov ernment is re-established. Unless, how ever. continued occupation is by a con- cert of all the powers the United States will withdraw her troops from China.

THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY
All the Netherlands Filled With Re
 joicing.

The Hague, Aug. 31.-All Holland made merry today in celebration of the twentieth birthday of Queen Will helmina. In every city, town and vil- lage of the Netherlands there were pup lie rejoicings and special festivities in observance of the day. In the capital and at ScheVeningen. the fashionable summer resort, and Amsterdam. the celebrations were especially notable.
 IL was recently stated on what ap- peared to be good authority that Will helmina was to wed Prince Adolph Frederick of NIecklenburg, and it was thought that she might signaliZe the day by making a public announcement of her betrothal. No such annaunce- ment was forthcoming. however and apparently the young queen is not yet ready to embark upon the matrimonial sea, despite the fact that rumor has had her engaged to no less than ten princes since she reached her major ty and ascended he throne two years asr

London. Sep. 1.-(4:2O a. m.)-In the absence of other news from China. the pap-rs are again filled with discussions of the Russo-American proposals, which, so far as may be gathered from representations of opinions in various European capitals. are calculated to subject the unity of the allies to an eX- ceedingly sever anI CangecOus test. In Germany especially these pro posals are so diametrically opposed CO Emperor Williams policy tha, they have produced something like con- sternation. As the Daily News edi- torially remarks, Count v0n Waldersee was assuredly not sent to assist in re storing the empress dowager." It is recognized on all sides that Germany's decision is ,he pivot of the matter.

 His highness, speaking of his illness while in England, referred in grateful ter1s to the solicitude of the queen and royal family.
 Her majesty" he said, used to kindly send daily to obtain information of my health from the four English gentlemen who were in my company. The other royal members of her family asked about, and were always kept cognisant of the progress of the mal- ady. The subsequent care of and inter est in my health that they displayed have won my sincerest feelings of grat- itude"
 Referring to the speech of the lord mayor of London on the occasion of his visit to the city, the khedive said: ''It clearly shows that the khedive of EgypC is the supreme authority in Egyptian affairs. So the result of my visit to England has been satisfactory, and I hope to repeat it."
 His highness. speaking next of Lord Cromer, said he was faithful and honorable man, who served his country honestly and honorably. and he had a great respect for him. He added.
 Never did I differ with Lord Cromer when we two alone had to tackle ques- tiOns of moment. Between us we were able to manage things in the best and most suitable manner
 Tt was only when others interferred and the matter was openly discussed that difficulties thickened from day to day until the question came to an un- satisfactory end"

HIDDEN MEANINGS.


 Various meanings may be placed upon the statements f the two princi- pals of th:s correspondence Thus it may be noticed that while Russia an nounces her purpose to withdraw her troops from China, s;ill as to uie oc- cupying forces at Neu Chwang. a con dicion is attached that almost nega- tiveS the propC sitiOn as to that point. Respecting OUT own attitude, it ap- pears that. while believing the best course to pursue is to remain in Pekin. our government is still willing to with draw. Perhaps this means that if there is to be separate action by the powers in China. the United States proposes to deal with the situstion with a free hand.
 It may be noted, In connection with our withdrawal statement, that where as Russia propos s to withdraw from China our offer is to withdraw from Pellin. significant fact in that con- nection is that General Chaffee. who is well advised of the situation. having several days ago been directed to pre- pare for just such an em rgency as that precipitated by the Russian ac- tion, continues his preparations for wintering American troops in China. Indeed, unless the men are afloat and out of Pei HO within the neX.. six weeks, they are likely to remain in CSlina perfOrce. being icebound
 General Chaffee was further advised today of developments in the situat tion a general plan of se-tlem mt of the points in the Russia-American cor respondence being cabled 20 him for his guidance. As bearing further on the prospects of the future. it may be noted that the war department of- fcials state that the government has not considered the question of the evacuation of China.
 BUT TWO RESPONSES.
 Up to the close of the official day only 1.-two communications have been received in consequence of our .ast note. One was from the British foreign office through the American embassy, stating that Lord Salisbury was ab- sent from London, and merely prom ising considt ra,iOn If the note The German response vas through MT Jackson and was equally iEronclusive, indicating a wish on the part of the German government for time to con- sider the proposition.
 Officials here say tha, they ar-a satis- fled that Japan at last is fully in ac- cord with our objects as s>t out in the note, and rather expect an early an swer from the government of that country. France has not been heard from on this point

A METROPOLITAN NEwsPAPER.
(Salem Daily News.)

We have taken occasion heretofore
to refer to the improvements made In
the Canton News-Democrat since the
paper came into control of James c.
Deidrick, the founder and chief owner
of the East Liverpool Daily Crisis.
The News-Democrat has been watched
through its various changes and i'm
provements with a degree of satisfac-
tion, because the charges have been
all for the betterment Of the paper and
were inaugurated by Columbiana
county newspaper man who possessed
sufficient business capacity and cour-
age to tackle a property that had been
permitted to run down. Today the
News-Democrat compares favorably
with daily papers of much larger
cities than Canton. and 1t is matter
worthy of mention that the people of
Canton appreciate the paper to the ex-
tent Of liberal support. Mr.. Ber e..
Williamson some time since took edi-
torial charge of the paper, and its
columns sparkle with bright thoughts
from his pen. He has been with the
paper for some years, holding various
positions In which he has never failed
to show his ability and disposition to
not shirk the hardest work which news
paper making imposes upon man.
