gan told ColgOsz that he had better
postpone 1t until the president left But

Il said there We're so many people
present that it was a sure thing that he
would be caught. CZolgosz said he did
not care If he We're caught. He said he
would shoot the president where ali peo-
pie knew why he was killed. Harrigan
told him to go ahead. If money could
save him, he would be saved.
Next day, Friday, l got up about 10
o'clock. CZOlgOsz told me that that was
the day the killing was to take place.
He asked me to tie a handkerchief
around Ais hand. l did so and he placed
a revolver in his hand, under the hand
skerchief. He asked me il l could see
that there was q weapon in his hand. i
said that l could not.
"Then he told me he was to go to the

hand the same as had ased his. If the
guards allowed me to get by he would

REVIVAL OF PUGILlSM
MAY STRIKE CHICAGO
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Fight promoters
are jubilant, owing to the fact that the
council has resolved to veto an ordinance
authorizing the appointment of committe
to suppress wrestling and other boxing
exhibitions.
Last night was the date for the en-
piration of the time in which the mayor
might veto the ordinance, and his fail
ure to do so is taken as a sign that
pugilistic events may be revived in Chi
cago.
The ordinance provided for commit
tee of five to regulate athletic contests
and imposed a tax Of 10 per cent of the
gross receipts on all shows where an
admission is charged.

SMALLPOX SCARES LONDON
Dread Disease Becomes Epidemic in
Some Of the Metropolitan
Districts.
Appearance of the Plague Attributed
to the Fact That Vaccination
Is Optional.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Sept. N.-Londoners are
alarmed at the spread of the smallpox
epidemic. The disease has gained quite
a hold in one or two metropolitan dis
tricts.
The London school board was asked
by the dual government board to allow
children in its schools to be examined to
see IL they had been vaccinated. but
permission was only granted on condi-
ton that parents saw no objection to
examination.
Vaccination Is by the law Of the land
voluntary, not compulsory. and many
people attribute the appearance OF the
disease to this fact.

the statement of Engineer Bates con-
cerning the reversal of the engines OF
the Texas. During the short time that
he was on the stand Engineer Bates
was asked a few questions.
One of these was by Captain Parker,
in regard to the steam log of the Texas.
In reply to the first inquiry, Command
er Bates said the log had been written
up the day after the battle.
The other questions were by the court
and related first to the coal supply of the
Texas on May &C. 1898, and second, to
the condition of the machinery of the
Texas on the 31st of that month. The
questions of the court and responses were
as follows:
"Are you positive that the quantity Of
coal reported on hand May 26 was cor
rect?"
Eyes, sir: as near as anybody can be
positive. There was no accurate means
Of weighing what was sent us. and gen.
eIally there is no absolute accurate
means by which coal is weighed coming
aboard ship.
Generally a Good Estimate.
"All naval officers know that an ac-
curate account is kept to the best of our
ability, and It is generally a good esti-
mate. It is weighed out in the same
way"
"Was the machinery of the Texas in
efficient condition for service on May 31?"
IT should say, by recollection, yes"
Judge Advocate-It is the day of the
bombardment of the Colon that is re-
ferred to, the 31st Of May.
Commander Bates-There was nothing
the matter with. the engines, as I re-
member. On that day we were off coal
ing.
It had been the intention of the court
to call Admiral Cotton, Captain Wise
and others connected with the govern
ment scout ship Immediately after the
discharge of Machinist Claxton.

Paris. Sept. A.-Chile is positively de-
termined to withdraw from the Ameri-
can congress in Mexico City at the OPEN

that arbitration will not have retro
active effect.
This information was obtained in an
interview with the Chilean representa-

It is certain that Chile Is destined
to become the center of stormy discus

is inferred that President Roosevelt's 8
idea is that the United States should
defend the people by compulsory arbi-
tratiOn.
