Jackson Draws With Walcott.

joe Walcott and Young Peter Jack
son fought ten rounds to draw in Balti-
more last night before the Eureka Athletic
Club. 1t was one of the fercest battles ever
seen there, and 1900 people saw it.
Under the conditions of the match Wal
colt was to put Jackson out or get no part
of the gate money. They went at 1t ham
mer and tongs at the start. and kept it up
to the finish. both men being rather groggy
al times, but finishing strong.
1t might have been anybody's fight at any
stage. and though the sympathes of the
audience We're with Jackson. a Baltimore
man. they were well satisfied with the de-
cision of Referee George Mantz.
Jackson showed marked improvement
over his form of November last, when Wal
cott made a choppiing block of MIN, but
could not put him out.

IFrom the Indianapolis Sentinel
The Illinois Press association has
taken a strong stand against the tariff
on wood pulp and print paper. and prop
erly, for, as it says, the paper trust ex-
acts from the American publishers, in
excess of a legitimate profit on the
value of its property over s5,oooOO0
each year; and the paper trust secured,
by false misrepresentation before the
ways and means committee, increased
and prohibitory tariff duties, which
caused Canada to retaliate with an ex-
port duty on wood and wood pulp for
the manufacture of American printing
paper, and thus give the paper trust a
monopoly Of cheap pulp.
Moreover. the paper trust by pro-
hibitory tariff on raw material, and Il
combina ton of the pulp and paper mills,
producing IS per cent Of the annual
consumption of news print in the
United States. has at times advanced
prices over 100 per cent, by exterminat-
ing competition, through a monopoly Of
over 250,00O horse power of available
water power adjacent to over 100000
acres of spruce timber. And these in
creases Of price have been direct bur
dens on every newspaper IN the coun-
try.
Why should this outrageous system
Of robbery be permitted to continue? It
is Of no benefit to anybody except the
paper trust, and there is no more OBJ
noxious trust than it in the country. It
has shown itself utterly regardless Of
the rights of everybody and of the well
fare of the public by continually pollut-
ing the streams of the country with re-
fuse which could easily be made harm
less at small expense.
The newspapers of the country would
indeed be blind to their own interests
if they did not unite IN protesting
against any continuance of this abom-
nation The national publishers COM
mittee is actively demanding that wood
pulp be put on the free list and that
the duty on print paper be reduced.
Every editors association in the coun-
try ought to reiterate the demand, and

ALLIGATORS SCARCE.

IFrom the N. Q. Times-Democrat.l
In five or six years it will be hard
to get alligator SKINS said William
Racquet, for the reason that they are
all being killed off. Ten years ago it
was no uncommon thing to get a skin
from 10 to Il feet long, but now it is
a rarity when we get one eight feet
long. This comes from the use of alli-
gator leather in the making Of valises.
Formerly about the only demand for
the skins was for shoes, but now there
are very few shoenakers who use
them. 1t was a fad, and the fad has
gone out of date. But when valises of
the skins came in the demand in
creased by leaps and bounds. There
are hundreds of alligator hunters along
the coast, and their work is showing
plainly. For a long time there were
plenty Of gators along the bayous and
the marshes close to town, but now
we have to go to west Louisiana and
Mississippi and elsewhere for them. -
Mr.. Raquet then spoke of the discov-
cry that the back of the alligator, long
supposed to be useless for leather pur-
poses, is now used in the heavier va
Uses. Formerly only the skin from the
underside was considered of any ac-
count, but now all parts Of it are of
service.

CORN AND TRADE BALANCE.


The reduction offorty-one million dol
lars in the exports of the United States
for the eight months ending with Feb
ruary is not considered at all discourag-
ing by the official of the government
bureau of statistics. nor is it regarded
as an indication of decline in the gen
eral growth of that trade. On the con-
trary, it is pointed out that in all i'm
portant articles except three. in which
conditions are abnormal, there has been
an increase The decrease is solely or
practically so in corn, due TO the great
crop shortage caused by the drouth Of
last summer, in copper. in which prices
have greatly fallen and in iron and steel
manufactures, due to the unusual de-
mand of the home market upon our
manufacturers and the reduced demand
in foreign markets.
In corn and corn meal alone the ex-
ports fall more than Al million dollars
below those of the corresponding period
of last year, while the total decrease
in all exports is but S4L012. 5s4; showing
that if corn exports were normal the
total figures would show an increase of
more than six million dollars over last
year and over the corresponding period
of any preceding year.
In iron and steel manufactures, the
figures of the seven months ending with
January show a reduction of about 1e
million dollars in exports.
In wheat the exports for the eight
months show an increase Of nearly 80
million dollars compared with those of
the same months of the preceding year,
and in provisions there is an increase
of FIVE million dollars.
In cotton the month of February
shows an increase of over two million
dollars compared with February, 1901,
though the six months of the cotton
year ending with February show a de-
crease Of about 10 million dolalrs, due
TO lower prices and not to any reduc-
ton in quantity, the number of pounds
exported during the period being $685.
347. 6Is pounds. against 2,S0S, 244,326
pounds last year, an increase Of over
$50 million pounds.
In mineral oils the preliminary fig
ures of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics for the months ending with
February show an increase of nearly
million dollars over those of the CORE
spending months of the previous year,
measured by values, while in quantity
the increase is in much greater proper
ton The total number of gallons
shown by the preliminary statement of
the bureau OF statistics for the months
is 73O, 15s, POI, against 67s,9S1.T65 last
year, an increase of - per cent; while
the value. as shown by the same state
ment is, for the months ending with
