!. A FAST FIGHT.
DAL HAWKINS PUT TO SLEEP IN
x TWO FAST ROUNDS.

iD1.ALI HAWKINS PUT TO SLEEP IN
TWO FAST ROUNDS. IT,. =,
& New York, May ,26.-Joe Cans, of
Baltimore, knocked out Dal Hawkins
OF California at the Broadway Athletic
club last night in two rounds of the
fastest fighting ever seen in the club
house. The men were scheduled to
go % rounds at 133 pounds, and both
scaled under the limit. Hawkins as
sulned the aggressive at once and
landed Ian on his man with both hands.
He smashed the Baltimore man with
a left hook to the chin just after they
put UP their hands and dropped him
It looked as if the affair was all over,
but Cans took the count Of nine in
getting to his feet. Hawkins followed
him up with right and left blows, but
Cams was there with his blocks, and
Y IN q fierce mix-up at the ropes a left
hand jab on the chin hoored Hawkins.
Again it seemed that the result was
at hand. Hawkins was certainly out,
but struggled to his feet at the count
Ing Of nine. The fight was furious to
the bell. Il 4. y B ss.s .555 .35
IN the second round the men contin-
iued their rapid pace. Cans had Haw-
skins guaged, however. and easily
avoided his terrible rushes and swings
g
and after one minute and Is seconds
Eof slugging Cans landed the punch
that did the trick.

EARLIER NEWS.

London, May 20, $50 a. m.-The
latest intelligence from Lord Roberts
headquarters at Vredsfort station, fled
Thursday at 5:45 p. M, was that the
British was rapidly advancing. Gen.
Hamilton had effected a junction with
Lord Roberts. The country in front
of them, was clear of Beers to Viljoens
Drift The Beers We're evacuating
all their positions sou. of the ,Vaal
river and that 5000 had already
crossed to the north bank. Probably
Gen. French's cavalry is already re-
connoitering the fords Of the Vaal. /
The. war Office observers expect that
the dispatch from the field marshal
will be dated in sight of the Trans
vaal frontier. Mr.. Bennett Burleigh,
wiring to the Daily Telegram from
Vredsfort Thursday morning said
Lord Roberts would doubtless cross
the Vaal river Saturday or Sunday.
The British outposts were then at
Erste Geluk. nine miles north Of
Vredsfort and 2G miles south of the
Vaal river. The railway is much
damaged. While the British in over,
whelming force are thus rapidly ap-
preaching the Transvaal, the move
ments of the Beers are enveloped in
mystery. The last Pretoria news
paper to reach Lourenzo Marques was
a week old. Every one seeking to
cross the Portuguese border from the
Transvaal is searched for newspapers
and letters. Dispatches and mail let
ters containing even harmless refer
ences to. the war are suppressed, the
only news that emerged from Trans
vaal during the last ten days has come
by word OF mouth. According to these
oral reports yesterday, the Beers were
quarreling among themselves. Trans
vaal paper money was circulated at
so per cent discount Beckets' firm
was giving one pound in gold for five
pounds in paper. .Krouse and Klinke,

BURNED THE BOOZE.
SHERIFF OF RICHLAND COUNTY
: DESTROYS OUTFIT SEIZED IN,
g% THE RECENT LIQUOR RAID. r.

-
Wahpeton. May 26,-Judge Lauder
issued the tinal order in the cases of
the state against Jack Harper and
Henry ;Schoenborn, whose saloons
were closed by injunctions few
weeks ago. The order. directed the
sheriff to destroy all the property de-
scribed in the judgment roll, consist
ing Of bar, fixtures, counters, tables,
glasses, liquor, ETC., which were in the
building and used for and in the sale
of liquors at the time the places were
taken in charge of py the sheriff. -.
In pursuance of this order, the sher-
iff and a force of men took the stuff
to a vacant piece Of ground west of the
Milwaukee depot, where it was all
piled up and publicly set h on fire.
There were four dray loads of the
stuff, among which were several gall
Ions of whisky, and this was poured
over the pile causing it to burn more
fiercely. The bar fixtures in the
Schoenborn place were very fine, all
hard wood with elegant trimmings, a
splendid refrigerator especially made
for the purpose and were estimated to
be worth about $500. The stuff taken
from. the other place was not nearly
as expensive, but with the glasses,
liquors and fixtures represented an
outlay OF about $3.50, all Of which was
completely destroyed in less than two
hours. $2 Es. .sg.. II y y, 5S9
Owing to the early hour chosen to
destroy the property only about a
dozen persons besides the officers were
out to witness the destruction. The
work was commenced about 5 o'clock
and before half past seven the stuff
had all been consumed
This is the first time in the history
OF the county that property has been
destroyed under the prohibition law
BY the order Of the court, and it proves
to be the most effectual method of
dealing with The nuisance, as it seems
that the men engaged in the business
are more hurt by the destruction OF d,
few dollars worth Of property than
they are over a Jail sentence of six
months or more

BRAY IN WASHINGTON.

/ CONSUL GENERAL BRAY OF MEL
! BOURNE IN WASHINGTON-
SOON RETURNS TO HIS POST.
Washington, May 26.-John P. Bray
OF Grand Forks, N. D., is visiting this
city on a leave of absence from his
duties as consul general at Melbourne,
Victoria. Mr.. Bray will leave for the
west in a few days on his way back to
his post and will spend short time
1 in Minneapolis and North Dakota.
Among other things Mr.. Bray said:
1 During the Spanish American war
! practically no pro-Spanish sentiment
existed there. The news of American
| victories was received in Australia
with great rejoicing. which was very
gratifying to me. Possibly this SYM.
pathetic feeling has increased the nat
ural hospitality with which Austral-
ians welcome an American Certainly
have discovered no other sentiment
than that of extreme cordiality toward
our people. s. "
Population is one respect in which
Australia cannot boast Of rapid pro-.
gress. This is due to the stringent
anti-immigration laws The Chinese
| and japanese are not allowed to land
except on contract for brief periods.
The labor union cement is very pow
erful and brought about the passage
of those and other restrictive laws.
Although Australia is not growing
rapidly in population, it is making
great strides in commerce and indus
try. 1t is the greatest wool producing
country in the world. 1t ranks second
to South Africa in the production of
gold, although the discoveries at Cape
Nome may place the United States,
which is now third, in second place.
Every vegetable, grain or plant known
to commerce is grown there success
fully and the era of cultivation is
steadily increasing. Every colony
but one showed last year a handsome
surplus of receipts over expenditures.
although ambitious public works are
everywhere under way
with about the same area as the
United States without its territories,
there is little difference in climate in
the various parts of Australia. It is
generally about like that OF California.
The people are as cordial and as well
bred as one finds in this country, and.
like English people everywhere, they
are fond Of society and entertain gem
erously. The percentage of foreign
ers in Melbourne is small; of these
the Germans predominate'
Mr.. Bray's vice consul is Thomas
w. Stanford, a brother Of the late Sen
ator Stanford of California. He has
lived at Melbourne many years and has
been lavish in his gifts to the Leland

AS the head of the United States

His consulate is said by Americans
who visit it to be in refreshing con-

IDENTITIES, and the admission of ma.
tional responsibility for outrages COM
mitted in violation of treaty stipula-
tions. There is one specific case in
point which the Chinese government
may well cite, and which it will un-
doubtedly cite. On December 80. 1850
William NJ. Evarts, our secretary of
state, wrote officially to the Chinese
minister in Washington as follows:
II know of no principle of national obli-
cation, and there is certainly none arising
from treaty stipulation, which renders it
incumbent upon the government OF the
United states to make indemnity TO the
chinese residents of Denver who in COM
mon with the citizens of the United States
SUFFERED losses by the operations of the
mon. Whatever remedies may be offered
10 the citizens of Colorado, or to the Cit
liens Of the United States from other states
In the union resident in Colorado, for losses
resulting from that occurrence are equally
open to the Chinese residents of Denver
VINO may have suffered from the lawless-
ness of the mob"
twenty years ago China was a small
factor in international affairs. and
every nation snubbed her in diplomat
&c correspondence. The Chinese minis
ter replied to Secretary Evarts, say
ing: China must submit to your de-
cislon as to her citizens who have
been outraged by a mob in Denver;
but / venture the expression of opin-
ion that if the cases were reversed the
United States would be disposed to
belhgerently demand indemnity"
The reverse side OF ;he situation has
come; and there stands the precedent
established by this country. Citizens
of China have suffertG losses and have
been deprived of the.c nves, and the
Chinese government can readily rSplv
TO any demand for Indemnity or ret
ribution: Your own government has
established the precedent that pre-
vents you from making any demand
upon China. We have the identical
letter of your Secretary Evarts on this
question, and you are estopped from
occurring of China what you declined

Secretary EV2rts' Letter of December
81, 1850. to ihe Pe<ing Govern
ment May Prove Itself "a Dip
Iomatic BoomeranG.
Especial Washington letter.

THEBE is considerable talk in the
newspapers about Indemnity
for the outrages which have
been committed in China against for
eigners temporarily resident in that
empire.
At the department of state the Of
ficials express the belief that there
viii be neither indemnity. reparation
nor retribution for anything which
has been done. Of course these of
ficials do not talk for publication, be-
cause that would be contrary to the
rules and presidents of the depart
ment, but in private conversation with
personal friends they say that elm
demnity" is practically out of the
question.
Ii Hung Chang spoke for the inn
perial government when he said that
the treasury of China is so depleted
that no cash indemnity can be paid,
and that the people of China will not
permit any further concessions of ter.
ritory to the countries interested. The
word indemnity" covers a great deal
of ground in international law. 1t
means complaisant, friendly, frater-
nal effort on the part of the country
In which the outrages have been COM
mitted to bring the criminals TO JUS
tice and retribution; an effort to in.
demnify the sufferers for their wrongs.
or TO indemnify their heirs if human
lives have been sacrificed; or repara.
ton in the form of abject apology, II
the national honor has been specific.
ally involved.
The utterances of Ii Hung Chang
indicate that the Chinese government
does not intend to do any of these
things, and the eminent oriental
statesman speciously pleads the utter
Inability of the government of Picking
TO do anything more than publicly ex-
press regret for the consequences OF
the alleged Instruction. Present in.
dications are that there will be no
recognition of the fact that the ma
tional honor of any country has been
involved
What other nations may do under
these circumstances can only be con-
jectured. 1t is we'll known that all of
the powers of the world cannot de-
mand an eye for an eye and n tooth
for tooth, because the invasion and
destruction of the Chinese empire
would be impossible. The reasons for
this conclusion have heretofore been
given with some degree of elaboration.
This republic is very unfortunately
circumstanced in the matter. It has
always fought off the payment OF in
