 The heavyweight puglists seem to have gone into the wrestling business. Gus Kuhlin and Bob FItzsimmOns were matched to wrestle at Madison Square Gardens, New York, on July ?. J. B. Haggin and w. C.

Five years ago Aste was known as the ''BOotlack King of New York"
 The contest between Tim Callahan, of Philadelphia, and Joe Bernstein, of New York, for 20 rounds, came off at San Francisco, June 2S. It was almost an even thing after the fifth round. Callahan did all the forcing and most of the leading and knocked Bernstein down three times. Bernstein jabbed Callahan's face with his lett through out the fight, bringing the blood from his nose and mouth in a dozen rounds. and at intghting he was decidedly the better. The referee gave the decision to Callahan without hesitation.
 The fight between Jack Root and ''Kid" Carter at San Francisco, June 2S, was hard contest, with an unsatis- factory ending. Both men were fight ing strong. with the advantage in Roots favor, when the referee gave the decision to Root on a foul. Following is the fifteenth and last round: Garter forced Root to the ropes and landed left on body. During a mix-up Carter swung his left hand very low on Roots body, and Jack went down. He was plainly in pain and clasped his stomach" The referee quickly de- cided in favor of Root.

and joined with all in extending a hearty welcome to the reverend faith = CTS. He suggested the appointment of a small committee to formulate plan, in conjunction with Father Jacquet, embracing the building of church, house, convent and hospital, and to provide. the means for doing so. While he did not expect to carry such plan to it's final completion, still. from his experience, it was better to adopt perfect plan and carry out as much of it as the immediate needs called for and the means allowed for so doing. Nome, as Father Jacquet had remarked, was destined to become the metropolis of the northern peninsula, so what they started to build now should reflect credit upon them and their northern home.
 Chairman Murphy said he,was in full sympathy with the resolution, and would select and appoint q committee to act with Father Jacquet along the lines suggested.
 Among the large number that well comed Fathers Rene and Jacquet were: Dr. md Mrs. Anton, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Judge Stevens, George Murphy, Mrs. R. B. Dawson, Miss Staples, Miss Conway, Judge Houghton, David F. Lane, Judge McGinnis, D. J. Morgan, V. Schneider, Mr. Dumas, Dr. Miller, Dr.. Chambers, R. $. Ryan, r. $. Lang, Mir. and Mrs. J. D.

 SERVICE WANTED
The Postoffice Department Will Be Urged to Bestir Itself This Com.
 ing Winter.

The postoffice department will be asked to put the entire Boring coast mail service under one management, It is proposed that the section to be thus covered shall be from Nome to Panama, on the Yukon river and on the Cook inlet route.
 It is argued that in this way only can connected and continuous service be given Although the department has called for bids for the carrying of mail, three trips each way during the witer, between Nome and katmai, an effort will be made to have the service tended to six round trips.
 Edwin Engelstad, who knows the country we'll, says that six round trips can be made during the winter without difficulty. He has been strongly recom- mended as suitable person to take charge of the government mail service for this section.

CONGRESS- FREE OR FETTEREDa

The one important question at issue concern
ing the forthcoming Pan-American Congress at
the City of Mexico is whether it is to be free
or fettered, whether freedom Of speech and of
discussion shall prevail or the delegates shall
be gagged at the dictation of some State That
is the question which we are sorry to see the
Chilian Government has again forced TO the
fore by means Of the extraordinary note which
published in our special Washington eorre-
spondence yesterday. 1t is suggested that the
United States delegates TO the congress may
devise some answer which will provide an
amicable way out Of what seems some
thing like an 'impasse." 1t will be we'll if they
can do so, though, of course they have not the
authority 10 dictate any course. 1t does not
seem possible, however, that any answer can
be adopted which is not on the side of freedom
and against the fetter and the gag.
Our special Washington correspondence yes
terday gave concise but complete history of
the case, beginning with the conception of the
congress and the framing of the preliminary
invitation more than year ago. The record
shows the original idea TO have been one of
freedom. Certain broad and comprehensive
subjects were suggested, but practically unlim-
tied power was left 10 the congress TO consider
whatever subjects il pleased. All the States
save one agreed TO enter the congress thus free.
The exception was Chill. whose government
sought assurances that mo questions of dis
agreeable nature''-disagree3b ble that is. to
Chli-would be admitted TO discussion That
must be regarded as an extraordinary attitude
for any State 70 assume-that il will not play
unless IL is permitted TO win the game. 1t is
directly contrary TO the whole idea of the Pan
ATesa can Congress. 1t will be recalled that
the first congress. held al Washington in 1888
90 was organized on a basis OF entire free
suggested in the invitation, and then il was
added that the Congress should consider such
'ofher subjects relating TO the welfare OF the
several States represented as may be pre-
''sented by any OF said States"
IL would be most unfortunate to take single
step OF recession from that liberal ideal There
10 good reason for inviting attention especially
10 certain paramount topics, and even to GER
tain phases Of them. But certainly the con-
eress-a congress OF free and independent
States-should have the power at will TO take
up other topics and other phases of the topics
named. IL is OF course, eminently desirable
that all American States shall be represented
IN the congress. But IL is scarcely too much
10 say that a free congress IN which the place
OF one State was vacant would be preferable

OER CORONERS.

There Is a breath OF scandal In the air Of the
coroners' office of Kings County. Unpleasant
reports TO the effect that persons who hold
some official relation to the administration OF
that office not altogether free from guile
have been made public. 1t is not necessary or
advisable TO express any opinion as TO the guilt
or innocence OF the men concerning whose Off
cial practices disagreeable intmations are flying
abroad. II they confound their accusers
and clear themselves OF suspicion the admirers
of integrity in public places will have cause for
satisfaction. Nevertheless. without regard to
this particular matter. it is the general belief
of our citizens who have paid some attention to
the subject that the community would be better
off IL the old fashioned. cumbrous and inetfi-
cent system OF coroners inquests and coroners'
jures was swept away.
When Shakespeare wrote Hamlet" the queer
vagaries of "crowner's quest law" had become
so grotesque that the greatest dramatist of all
time was satirical and ironical In his illusions
to the findings Of the officials OF that era. Cen
turies have been born and buried since the
imagined gravediggers of Elsnore banded iests
about coroners. But the holders of inquests
have seemingly made little progress as the
ages have gone on. Coroners in too many cases
furnish no sufficient excuse for their official
existence. The whole system Is a mouldy moss
grown fragment of medieval tradition which
ought TO have been abolished long ago
In more than one State of the Union coroners'
inquests have been thrust into the dust heap of
outworn things, and the change has been gen
orally approved by people who have the public
welfare at heart. Most Of the corOners in this
part of the country are professional politicians
who get their places as rewards for activity In
the service Of local bosses They draw liberal
salaries, while the hard work Is done rs a rule
by the doctors WHO act az their deputies and
assistants. 1t is no paltry sum which the anti
quated system OF coroners' departments costs
taxpayers, and much of the money is
wasted. Coroners' juries with few exceptions
are superfiuous. In none of the States which
have abandoned the system OF primitive nuuests

With an engineer who can make himself thus
ridiculous by misstatements and by striving 10
conceal facts through such shuffling and evasion
as he has employed in facing questions about
the old rusted fractures in hoops and rods, 1t
is evident that expert investigation from the
outside is imperatively required, and District
Attorney Philbin has done well to take steps
TO secure such inquiry. If bridge officials are
careless, incompetent or deceitful they must

wisely secure the broken pieces at once, before
