BOXING IN NEW LONDON.
Ryan, of Syracuse, Wins Decision Over
 Daily, of New York

New London, Feb 11.--Billy Ryan, of Syracuse, N. r., won decision here tonight over Tommy Daly, of New
 York, in tWenty-round bout at 126
 pounds The match was the cleverest ever witnessed here. Daly was in good condition at the finish, but he had been
 outpointed as a boxer all through the contest. The foot-work and ring gen. eralship of Ryan was marvellous. He simply danced all about his opponent Daly, who is a strong and clever boy made the greater part of the advances but Ryan ran around him, lodging many blows that would have meant a great deal had they landed As many IS half dozen times during the contest Daly slipped and fell in his attempts to land. Each time he took care of his guard in getting up, and the falls did not count anything in favor of Ryan. During the last six rounds Ryan had a little the best of it, and the referee, Harry Pollock, of the New York Jour nal, gave the decision to Ryan on points. Daly has been in New London for some time past and the greater part of the audience were in his favor, and many of whom were of the opinion that the worst that he could have got was a draw.
 The preliminary was an eight-round contest between Hugh ONeil, of West Haven, and Walter Jennings of New Haven. O'Nel .outcIassed Jennings in cleverness, but the latter had the ad vantage of height and reach. The de- cision was draw. The attendance was 700

Comment on the AIlta n ce.

London Feb. 12.-Referring editorial
 ly to the British-Japanese alliance the
 morning papers, to whom the agree
 ment comes a q startling surprise, ask
 many pertinent questions concerning it.
 The Daily News says:
 "Our magnificent isolation has come
 to an end with a pretty sudden shock. 1 Whether the treaty is indicative of an
 anti British coalition, in the far East,
 whether it marks the tearing up of the | Anglo -American treaty, and whether 1 the visit of Prince Henry to America ] is an answer to the new naval alliance, i are matters of speculation. We hope the government will lose no time in fur ! ther elucidating the situation which is 1 fraught with the gravest conse- cuences."
 The Daily Chronicle thinks the treaty
 marks an epoch in world history and that It will profoundly affect British l policy. This paper asks whether the alliance will in any way affect the posi- ton of Manchuria and says that for the rest it is satisfactory, The Chron icle thinks that American policy is in line with the Anglo-Ja Japanese policy,
 The Standard says that agreement constitutes dual alliance of exceeding ly binding character.
 We are certain, says the Standard, that the treaty will be received here not merely with approval, but with en- thusiasm and Lord Salisbury may be congratulated. We cannot fatter our ;e, now, but, at least, much has been achieved to enable us to face the storm should the troublous clements prove un- contrOllable."
 The Times fully approves the agree ment and thinks it is calculated to have a most beneficial effect upon the situa tion in China. The Times adds;
 ''The solemn consecratlon which the policy of the open door receives in this agreement will be greeted no where more cordially than in the United States, whose attitude throughout the complications in China has been con sistently inspired by the same consid- erations which actuated England and Japan, and there is no reason why it should be misinterpreted elsewhere.
 With regard to Russia, we believe it to be a clear and definite statement. Our policy, as conveyed in this agree ment, can only tend in the long run to promote satisfactory understanding
 Nothing is more calculated to en- courage the adventurous activity which characterizes Russian diplo- macy than the vacillitation which of late years has too frequnetly marked our far eastern policy"
 The Daily Mail, in an editorial on | the Anglo-Japanese agreement claims ! for asserting that the rela- tions between Great Britain and Russia have been regrettably impaired in con- sequence of Muscovite duplicity with respect to the future of Manchuria The Daily Mail says:
 This will shortly be proved by de- ctdedly clever move. Russia has prac- ically annexed the entire trade of Man ehuria, to the exclusion of all other powers, and the protests or Great Brit ain, Japan and the United States have not availed"

TO MORTGAGE B. R q.
Proposal to Issue Paper to Secure Bonds
 Amounting to 5 SI50, ,80O.O

l New York, Feb, 1.-The executive
 committee of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
 sit company authorized to-day the fol- i lowing announcements
 "The board of directors of the Brook 1 lyn Rapid Transit company at meet
 ing yesterday unanimously decided to submit for the approval of the stock holders, at a special meeting to be call ed for March 20 1902, a mortgage to se- cure bonds to the amount of not ex- ceeding $150,OOO, 900. The proposed mort
 gage is to be called general consolida-
 tion and collateral trust mortgage and
 the bonds are to bear interest of not
 exceeding a rate of 4 per cent. per an-
 mum. Under the provisions of the mort
 gage the bonds that are issued there
 under, other than those required for
 the retirement of the outstanding bonds
 of the company, can be issued and used only for the purpose of acquiring addl-
 tional property and securities. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit company is a securities holding company, and the mortgage is to cover all the stocks and bonds and other property of every de- scription now owned or hereafter to be acquired by the company, subject only to the lien of the present Brooklyn Rapid Transit $7 ,000, 900 mortgage pro- vision for the retirement of which, as well as of the outstanding bonds of the other companies of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, at maturity, or sooner, is made in this proposed mortgage.
 'In recommending to stockholders mortgage for so large an amount the directors have considered the rapidly increasing growth of Brooklyn and the country adjacent, and the present ina bility of the conpany's elevated and surface railroads to properly fulfill their duties to the public without large in- crease of power equipment improve ments and extensions; and since every thing indicates a continuance of this growth, the directors believe it to be the duty of the company to make proper provision therefor from time to time l as it's developments suggest. In order | to accomplish this the directors have | presented this plan, which, in their | judgment. will accomplish the object | desired" !

Boxing in waIIingford

Wallingford, Feb. 1.-The Jolly Twenty-Five Club held boxing carni- val in the armory of the Hibernian Rifles this evening. George and Joe Westman. of Bridgeport, gave four round sparring exhibition. George was more clever than his brother. but the latter had the weight and had a shade the best of the exhibition. The second number was an eight-round bout be- tween "Zeke' Caleb, of Wallingford, and Patsy Sheron, of Bridgeport, at 130 pounds, In this bout the Bridgeport boy did all the leading and kept his man moving, but the decision was a draw.
 The principal event of the evening was a fifteen-round bout between Jim my Burlando, of Wallingford, and Frank HaIlett, of New Haven. The re- suit of this bout was considerable of a surprise because of the fact that Bur- lando, who is practically unknown out side of this town, fought Hallett so fiercely that the latter's seconds were compelled to throw up the sponge in the fifth round. Burlando had the best of the argument from the start and landed at will on his more experienced opponent. In the fourth round he sent the New Haven man to the floor three times and like number in the fifth, after which HalIett's seconds threw up the sponge.

Article 1.-The contracting parties agree that neither of them will with out consulting the other, enter into sep arate arrangements with another power to the prejudice of the interests above | described.
 Article 5--Whenever in the opinion of either Great Britain or Japan the above l mentioned interests are jeopardized, the two governments will communicate with one another fully and frankly. Article provides that the agreement come into effect immediately, remain in force for five years and be binding for year after either party denounces it. But, if, when the date fixed for the eX- piration of the agreement arrives either party thereto is actually engaged in war the alliance shall ipso facto, con- tinue until peace is concluded.
 The agreement is signed by Lord Lans- downe and Baron Hayashi, the Jap anese minister to Great Britain,
 These ministers so well kept the sec ret that the paper issued after parlia- ment had adjourned for the night, an nouncing the first important alliance between western and yellow, or Asian race, comes as a startling surprise to the public, and although the idea of an alliance with Japan is likely to meet with general approval the outcome of this sensational departure will be an ticipated with no little anxiety. It is regarded as direct move against Rus sia and to explain the abandonment of the colony of Wei Hai Wei

P01YGAMY INvEsrIGArIoN.
MiuisteriaI Alliance of Salt Lake City
 RPnnrtG.


 Salt Lake, Utah, Feb 1.-The minis terial alliance of Salt Lake City has 1 unanimously adopted the report of the committee of that organization which was appointed to investigate and report on the alleged practice and teaching of polygamy by the Mormons at the pres ent time. This report is to be used as a petition for the passage of a constitu- tional amendment prohibiting polyga- my, and will be sent to the judiciary committees of congress. The report, which is quite lengthy, sets forth that positive evidence can be produced that polygamy is both practieed and taught by the Mormons now in open defiance of the laws of the state. The document contains numerous quoted statements, alleged to have been made by Mormon leaders, in which the practice of polyg- amy is advocated and urged, regardless | of man-made laws to the contrary. l The ministers assert that the evidence | is in such shape that it can be produced | in court if necessary. Besides it's being | sent to the judiciary committees of con gress the document, it is said, is to be extensively circulated in the east to ! further the campaign for the anti-po- lysamy amendment to the constitution. The report, after quoting number of Mormon leaders in favor of the prac- tice of polygamy and giving the dates, dwells at some length on the coloniza- ton schemes of the church, which, ac- cording to the committees report, have a tWo-fold use--to enable Mormons to practice polygamy where they will be free from the scrutiny of their Gentle neighbors," and to secure the balance of political power in the sparsely set tied states of the west, thus blocking the way of any proposed hostile nation al legislation.
 Among the specified statements by church leaders on the questions dwelt on in the report is the following.
 Joseph F. Smith, formerly chief , counsellor to President Snow and na- tional president of the church, said in 1896, while dedicating meeting house at Payson: Take care of your polyga- nous wives. We do not care for Un- cle Sam now <"
 President Smith made the following statement to The Associated Press in regard to this section of the report:
 "I wish to declare emphaticaly that l never said any such thing, either at Payson or any other place. I have ex pressed my sentiments as to the famil- ies of men who contracted plural mar riages, years ago, that they should pro- vide for, educate and take care of them in every proper way; I say so now, but | the remark attributed to me about 'Un- |! cle Sam l never made and the state | ment that I did so is utterly mad wick | edy false,' Tonight the News, the official organ 1 of the Mormon church, denounces the | report Of the Ministerial association as a mass of misrepresentations
