Prof Dwyer is Forcing an Entrance
 Into New York City.
 It may seem strange, but it is never theless true that it is sometimes diffi- cult to get q landing in New York if you are good athlete unless you are under the control of some of the al- legged managers, who in turn seem to be under the thumb of a few of the sporting writers. A few weeks ago Wrestler Dwyer went to New York and tried to get on q match with George Bothner, agreeing to throw him twice in one hour. He was more than anxious to make the match, forIe wished to prove that he could accom- plish what Harvey Parker failed to do. He found that he was up against not only George Bothner, but also sev- eral of those managers who wanted q bit of the pie when it was cut. Now. Dwyer generally manages to control his own affairs, and when he saw that he had to share with some of the man. agerial sharks he made up his mind to see what he could do with the pa pers.. He found that all were 10th to handle his case unless he received the sanction of soIhe of the alleged man. agers. He even offered money to prove that he was on the level, but in this he failed.
 He came back from New York and after studying over the dilemma for few days he determined on a plan of action and he has already mapped it out whereby he will get into New York and whereby he will hurl def arce at all those packers of Harvey Parker and George Bothner. He has made arrangements with one of the big wrestlers of New York. now re- tired. to look after his interests. This retired wrestler has d little pull with the papers and in a few days it will be learned that Dwyer has secured an en- gagement at one of the theaters where he will nightly issue challenge to Harvey Parker or his friends to wres- tie for any part of $500. About four weeks from now will see him located in New York without the aid of any of the so-called managers whe are looking for good things at every oD. portunity. He will also issue q def fo George Bothner. and the result may be that Bothner will be forced to wrestle or lower his colors.

KILLED IN A STRAIGHT JACKET.
prisoner Kept There For Nine Hours and
Died After Being Released.

San Francisco, Cal.-James Dear, a
convict in Folsom prison, died as the
result of nine hours punishment in a
;traitjacket. Dear was a native OF
Illinois, thirty-ninc years old, and re-
GENTLY entered the prison. He was
an uncommoniy strong man and so
stubborn that he refused to obey any
rules or to do work assigned to him.
He had been repeatedly punished, but
it did not subdue his spirit.
He was finally laced in a strait
Jacket, and kept there for nine hours,
though his groans were heard
throughout his corridor. When he was
taken out he was bathed and removed
TO his cell, but he died that night.
The theory is that he was laced so
tight that the circulation of the blood
was StOpDel.

Washington, D. C.-The answer of
the British Government to the amend

made by the Senate was received by
the British Ambassador and communi-
Gated to Secretary Hay. 1t is diGni-
fed but complete rejection of the Sen

the United States Government the re-

may he deemed expedient.
The reply was delivered by Lord
Pauncefotc, the British Ambassador,
who appeared at the State Department
and handed Secretary Hay memo
randum embracing an instruction from
Lord Lansdowne. the British Minister
Of Foreign Affairs. The memorandum
explains Great Britain's reasons for
not accepting the Senate amendments
to the treaty, and expresses regret that
the negotiations should have been
brought to such a conclusion.
There is nothing in the British an

negotiations for a new treaty would

open negotiations must be initiated by

Soon after the reply was delivered to
