Swinehart, aged 65, of Butterfed
township, claims to be the champion
swimmer of his age in Northern
Ohio. He has spent nearly all his
life in Sutiield and is an all-round
athlete.

one and a half miles making the trip
in less than an hour and a half. Ev-
erybody in Portage and adjoining

think he can run faster, kick higher,
climb a tree quicker and catch more
fish than any other man In the state.
He challenges all comers for n
swimming match.
Tell them to come on; I'll meet
them" he said TO correspondent

they prevented "A proposed prize fight

both hall and saloon on the first floor
were deserted but soon after that the
crowd began to file In the back en-
trance, and word of this quickly
reached the Barber avenue police sta
tion, and Sergeant Mooney and Il squad
of policemen went to the scene. They
discovered about one hundred men in
the hall. The seats had been arranged,
but the ropes and ring had not yet been
constructed. The police ordered the
gathering to dsperse. George Siddons
and "Young" Gibbs, 1t Is said, were
the pugilists scheduled to fight.

INDIGNANT.
Prosecutor Says hoboes Should
be Sent Out of Town.

Police Prosecutor @. q. Benner is
Indignant over the manner In which
city prisoners are allowed 60 escape
from the street gang. 1t makes the
sentence OF the court mere farce,
and while the work the prisoners woulo
do on the streets might be worth while
IL they did not get away, 1t would be
better under the circumstances to send
offenders out OF town. They would
have more respect for the law as II is
enforced in Akron than they now
have"

ANSWER TO CANAL TREATY
BRITAIN NOT 10 COMPLY WI1H
SENATE,S DEMANDS.

Flat Refusal, However, VIII Not be
Made-Counter Proposals to be Adj
vanced Which VIII Require Extended
NegOtiatiOns-Treaty Expected to
Lapse Before a Conclusion is Reached.
London Feb. Sit has been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press that a reply will shortly be sent
to the United States Nicaragua canal
project 1t will not comply with the
Senate's demands Neither will it be in
the nature of fiat refusal, though Tor
purposes of immediate construction it
will be tantamount to such refusal
1t will consist mainly in counter-pro-
posal. or proposals. likely to necessitate
extended negotiations. The nature OF
tile proposal is not yet ascertainable.
Lord Pauncefote will probably be the
medium through whom the answer Will
be sent and by whom the subsequent
negotiations will chiefly be conducted.
In British official opinion it Is likely
that several months will elapse before
the matter reaches a conclusion, by
which time the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
will have lapsed. On the basis of the
Senate's amendments the British coun-
ter-proposals are now formulating, and
it is hoped an entirely new agreement,
satisfactory to both countries, will even
tually be reached.

ROBERTS CR11ICfsEs BUTLER.
Latter Was Told That He Must Relieve
Iadysmtth.


London, Feb. S.--Lord Roberts detail
ed dispatches dating from February 6
to November 15, 1900, were gazetted this
evening. They fill 157 quarto pages and
make UP the official history of the war,
although without throwing new light
upon several interesting disputed sub
jects, such as the Sannas Post affair.
Hundreds of officers, nom commissioned
officers and men are favorably mention
ed, including Lord Kitchener, who Is
referred to in warm terms. Sir Redvers
Butler comes in for criticism.
Writing from Jacobsdal February 49,
Lord Roberts says: General Butler on
February wired that he had pierced
the enemy's lines, but that to give his
artillery access to the Ladysmith plain
would cost from 1000 to 5000 men.
replied that he must relieve Ladysmfth
even at that cost. Butler telegraphed
February that he was not strong
enough to relieve I.adysmith without
and regarded the oper-
alton in which he was engaged as i'm

tions must hold"

NO CHANGEIN POLICY.
Chamberlain Denies That He Has
RecOnsidered It.

RecOnsidered 1t.
London, Feb. 9.-Public attention has
again been turned to South Africa by
the dispatch Of reinforcenents and the
publication Of Lord Roberts mail dis
patches. Rumors have been in circula-
tion that Mr.. Chamberlain had recon
sidered his South African policy and
was contemplating round table con-
ference with John Morley and Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt and the recall of
Sir Alfred Miner. The Daily Mail, how
ever says it is able to assert on Mr.
Chamberlaln's authority, that the whole
story Is fabrication and that the gov
ernment retains the most absolute con-
f1dence in Sir Alfred Miner.
Looking at all the circumstances"
Lord Roberts says, "the Campaign is
unique in the annals of war" and he
pays the highest tribute to the gallan-
try and worth of the troops, declaring
that mo finer force ever took the field
under the British flag"
The appearance of bubonic plague at
Cape Town seems likely to add to the
difficulties Of the situation. The author
tiles there have decided upon a whole
sale determination of rats. Should the
disease spread 1t will necessitate
changes in the military arrangements.
To- day Sir Alfred Miner makes anoth-
er earnest appeal to employers to allow
as many men as possible to enroll in the
colonial mounted defense force.

Wichita, Kan, Feb. S.-Mrs. G. Brom-
field led twenty women in crusade at
Clearwater to-day. All the jointists
purchased immunity by promising to
abandon their liquor business, which
they did. But the women now demand
that they give~up their billiard and pool
tables also. They refuse to do this and
the women threaten to smash them. A
raid is expected every moment and the
town is excited.

From Delagoa bay it is reported that
the British have occupied Ermelo and

FIGHT HEARING CLOSES TODAY
Counsel Reach an Agreem Decision
Expected Monday.

Cincinnati, Feb. S.-With the excep-
ton of W. A. Brady, all the witnesses
have been heard on the application for
an injunction against the Jeffries- Rub
lin contest planned for next Friday
night. Counsel on both sides have
agreed to limit their arguments SO that
the case will be closed tomorrow
night. Judge Holilster is not expected
to reserve his decision longer than next
Monday. Even il an injunction shall be
issued against prize fighting, so called,
it Is said that the promoters will claim
the right to pull off boxing contest
here next Friday night and keep with
in the bounds of a sparring match in
both the ten round bout between Childs
and Martin and the twenty round con-
test between Teffries and Rubin. The
defendants deny the Jurisdiction Of the
court to restrain such boxing contest
as is allowed under the Ohio statutes.
On these grounds they expect to appeal
the case to higher court If Judge Hol-
lister shall grant the injunction.

A NATIONAL BANK WRECKED
THE SO UTH DANTERS, OFPEA BODY,
MASS, IN BAD SHAPE.

Developments of Day, Resulting from
an Investigation, Astound Salem and
Peabody-Former Cashier Arrested
Stockholders Called Upon for an
Assessment of One Hundred Per Cent.
Salem, Mass, Feb. S.-This city, with
its neighbor, Peabody, is thoroughly as
founded at the developments Of to-day,
which have gone to show an almost
complete wreck of the South Danvers
National bank, of Peabody. Ex-Cash-
Ter George M. Foster was arrested in
Boston to-day, charged with embezzle-
ment of $500 of the funds of the bank.
His friends do not wholly blame him
and claim that the directors must have
known, if they knew anything about
the bank at all, that Foster was bor-
rowing money from the bank and load
ing the institution up with paper Of the
United Tanners Glue company, Of Pea
body.
It is said that the directors were bor-
rowers to considerable extent from
their own bank, and Boston promoter
of various enterprises also is said to be
debtor of the bank to the extent of
100000. The stockholders, having been
called upon for an assessment of 100 per
cent, are wondering whether to pay or
to organize and fight. The deeper the
receivers probe into the affairs of the
bank the worse they seem. Some bank
men do not believe that over so per cent.
can be cleaned up for the depositors out
of the wreck.
Second only in interest to the crirni-
nal proceedings against the ex-cashier
is the civil action brought against
George M. Foster apd his surviving
bondsman, Jacob Young, of Salem, to
recover money alleged to have been
wrongfully taken from the funds Of the
bank by Fostor for his own use. On
December 15 1900, an attachment in the
sum Of $4,000 was filed against Young
In an action Of contract brought by the
bank. Five days later another attach
1nent In the sum of $4,000 was filed
against Young and Foster. Since then
the declaration in the second of these
suits has been filed and the first one
has been abandoned This declaration
is made by Irving r. Sayles, bank COM
missioner,
In the suit against George M. Foster
alone for $4,000, in an action of con-
tract, the declaration of Sayles, through
his counsel alleges that the defendant
made certain promissory note paya

fendant endorsed the came to the plain |

The bond upon which suit is thus
brought to recover is signed by Foster
himself, tllen by Young and Ira Foster,
of Peabody. as bondsmen. Foster is
dead and Young is dangerously i'll. This
bond is dated January s, 1882, and Is
for $4,000. Young is Fosters father-in-
law, and was formerly a music dealer.

ACTION By SENATE COMMITTEE
ON MILITARY AFFAIRS.
Cases of Generals Wood, Grant and

port ON All silo OtheS Nominaiion
Including That of General Miles to be
Made,

Washington, Feb 8.-The senate COM
mittee on military affairs to-day agreed
to report favorably the nomination Of
Major General Nelson A. Miles to be
lieutenant general, and also the three
nominations to the office Of major gen
eral under the army reorganization bill
All the nominations to be brigadiers
also We're favorably acted upon, ex-
cept those Of General Leonard Wood,
General Fred d. Grant and General
franklin Bell These three were held
up in order to permit further investiga-
ton.
1t is said that in the committee there
was no disagreement to the action TAX
en-. The feeling which prevailed was
that Generals Wood, Bell and Grant
had not seen sufficient military service
to entitle them to promotion over many
older and experienced officers. While it
was stated that the action of the COM
mittee was not final there was an inn
preston that the confirmation of the
other nominations should be made first.

of the Negotiations.

New York, Feb. S.--The new develop
tions touching the transfer of the con-
troll of the Carnegie Steel company to
J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates
today We're, first, that Mr.. Carnegie is
to receive $1,500 for each $1,000 share of
mis- stock; second, that minority holders
who desire to sell will receive the same
terms as those given to Mr.. Carnegie;
third, that the present stage of the ne
gotiations contemplate the formation of
new corporation, whose bonds will
play a large part in the price to be paid
Mr.. Carnegie, and, fourth, the first pub
lie announcement in connection with
the pending negotiations of ain official
character, consisting of statement by
E. H. Gary, president of the Federal
Steel company, confirming the news
the acquisition of the properties of some
of the largest iron and steel companies
of this country
If, as now seems certain, Mr.. Carne-
gle is to receive $1,000 for each $1,000
share OF his stock, the transfer, in his
case alone, will be the equivalent of
nearly $130, 900, inasmuch as the
great steel magnate's holdings al pres
ent amount to $86.000,O00. If, as seems
probable, the minority holders are to be
looked after by Mr.. Morgan's syndicate,
the financiering will involve the equiva-
lent of $240,O00,00O.
Mr.. Carnegie is not likely to give up
such gilt-edged security as the shares
of his own company for anything less
and no surprise was express
ed in financial circles to-day when it
became known that the financial plan

M. de Favereau, replying, reiterated
his statement that the authors of the
petition were mistaken as to the import
of article 27 of The Hague convention,
adding that the spirit of the conference
was that arbitration could be useful
only on the eve Of a conflict, and that
mediation could be proposed only when
circumstances permitted. M. Janson
