BOXING NOTES.

Jimmy Dime and Jack Hamilton, on
their way home to Troy from Wheel
ing, stopped over in Pittsburg yester-
day and called at the Office of the Post
concerning Hamilton's meeting with
Oscar Gardner, at Wheeling, on Mon
day. Dime said he was perfectly salts
fed with the decision of draw. He
declared, however, that had the con-
test been for rs instead of 20 rounds,
Hamilton would surely have won, as
Gardner was "all in" Dime is very
anxious to secure another match for
Hamilton and Jack McClelland. He
claims that Hamilton was robbed Of
the decision at their last meeting, as
he had the better of the fight in every
round He wants another match to
take place either at Troy or Pittsburg.
He prefers Pittsburg in order to give
for themselves who is the better man.
Hamilton is matched to meet Bobby
Haight, at Troy, in a 20-round con-
test next Tuesday. Haight is an old
time featherweight, hailing from Hud-
son, N. Y. Dime thought Hamilton
would have no trouble in beating him.
He and Hamilton left for Troy last
night. Hamilton showed marks of
having been in bruising fight and ad-
mitted that Gardner was a terror for
twelve rounds. After that he was easy.

information Showing the Frfghffu1
Extent Of the Awful Visitation.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The State
Department has made public one Of
the reports upon which it based its
statement to the Navy Department re-
lative to the famine In India. This
particular report is from United States
Consul Fee, at Bombay, and presents
startling figures to illustrate the ex-
tent of the visitation. Mr.. Fee says
that Notwithstanding the season of
acute distress has hardly commenced,
the returns far exceed those recorded
three years ago. 1t then affected only
one million persons; now the figures
are $500, 900, and the daily expenditure
lis placed at $4,000 The famine area
covers 100000 square miles with a pop
ulation of $4,000, 900, and there is
further area of about 145, 900 square
miles with population of 100000
in which more or less distress pre-
walls and where relief already has been
or will be given. The consul says that
the applications for relief are overtax-
ing the State authorities and are in
creasing at an appalling rate, the num-
Der of applicants at the relief work
during the last week in January ad-
vancing 100000 and bringing up the
total to 100000, with the most trying
period still two months distant. In
conclusion, the consul expresses the
fear that the South African war will
so divert the attention and contribu-
lions of Englishment as to oblige India
to fight the plague and famine alone.

A Big Split I'm the Republican Ranks.
Democracy United and Aggressive.
From Stan Correspondent.
NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va,
April 11.-Both the county of Wctzel
and the town of New Martinsville are
largely Democratic. the county being
the banner Democratic county of the
State. In an interview with promi-
nent lawyer of the town the writer
learned that there is big split in the
Republican party of the county, many
Republicans being bitterly opposed to
the present administration at Wash
ington, the Puerto Rican tariff act ere
ating the greatest displeasure. There
is still a greater split in regard to
State politics, many Republicans be-
ing opposed to White for Governor and
Doyener for Congress, and there is abb
solutely no show for lessening the
breach created; while on the other
hand, it becomes wider every day. Tho
present town council and mayor are
Democratic, although they were elect
ed on an independent ticket which had
as it's platform the betterment and i'm
provement of the town in general.
There is at present no discord in the
Democratic party of the county or
town. The party is in the ascendency.
and all are agreed that Wetzel county
will roll up a larger Democratic ma
jority than ever in the coming cleo
ton.
Hon. Sep. Hall is favorably men
toned as delegate to the National
Democratic Convention from this dis
trict. His Democracy is unquestion-
able, and it would exert a greater
working influence on the party in the
county. The people of New Martins
vile are thrifty, thriving people who
pay no attention to Republican polit-
ical prosperity gush, but attribute their
present prosperity to the true cause,
the wonderful natural resources of the
conntv.55 r HALE.
