"CONTINENTALISM."
j. G. Schurman on the Ideals and
Duties OF the Republic.

BOSTON, May Sl.-The Free Religious
Association Of America began its thirty
fifth annual convention here to-day Jacob
Goul Schurman Ii. D.. president Of Cor
nell University, delivered q lengthy address
on THE Ideals and Duties of the Republic"
President Schurman's first point in the ad-
dress was that the first ideal of the Ameri-
can people has been termed continental
ism" This briefly defined is territorial
occupancy of the new world and territorial
separation from the old world with all the
institutions. sentiments, ideas and yearn-
ings OF which that physical fact is the
source"
The main part of the address was devoted
TO the Philippines. The speaker argued that
this Nation cannot permanently retain the
Philippines and at the same time continue
the principle of continentalism of which the
Monroe doctrine is an application. Presi-
dent Schurman argued that peace distin-
guishes the American Nation. and that
though he was not opposed TO war, il was
justifable only when waged in just cause.
The experience Of the last two years. he
said, proves that in Luzon and the Wis
cayas we are dealing with a united ma
ton. The FiliDinos Will never be content
until we allow them to govern themselves.

be a great race. If the public shows it
wants racing We will give a Derby in the
fall, for which we will offer 5000 purse. ="
Secretary Holt received letter last week
from Thomas MCGEE, manager of Ed Cor
rigan's stables of runners. stating that he
has decided TO send additional entries for

WILL GO TO A DECISION
NO UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
BRADFORD AND BLACKBURN.
Referee Marx Will Award Decision
to Best Man-CIever Men to Be
Seen in the PreIiminaries.

The programme offered for the boxing
carnival at the Empire Theater tomorrow
night should attract even a larger crowd
than the one that witnessed the Forbes
Ryan contest short time ago. The car
nival tomorrow evening is under the same
management that successfully conducted
the last two bouts at the Empire. and good
sport is promised. There will be no under
standing between Kid Bradford. of Chi
cago, and Kid Blackburn, of this city. who
will meet in the main contest at ten rounds,
to call il a draw providing both men are on
their feet at the conclusion of the last
round, as there was in the Forbes Ryan
match. Bradford and Blackburn will go
10 decision. and unless they fight so even
ly that it will end in draw Referee Marx
will award the decision TO the man who
shows the best work.
The managers say they have endeavored
TO match two men who are about equal in
science and hitting ability. and there seems
to be a great desire to witness the match
between the two clever lightweights. Brad
ford possesses the best record. as he has
met more fighters than the indianapolis
man. but Blackburn's showing In the past
few months entities him 10 be classed in
the Chicago mans class. Both men have
trained diligently for this event, and they
will enter the ring in the best condition.
Bradford Will have a Chicago man and
Beverley Howard in his corner, while
Blackburn will be seconded by the men
who have looked after his interests in for
mer contests.
The preliminaries promise TO be more in
teresting than any that have been given.
Boxers for the opening affairs were signed
with the idea in view of giving the crowd
good sport in the preliminaries as well as
in the main contest Kid Bruno, the clever
| little Indiana polls boxer. will meet Roy
| Clarke in q four-round go. Young Sharkey

two lightN Fights have been matched for
