A CRITIC OF OUR CAVALRY.

The criticisms OF American cavalry,
attributed to General Baden-Powell,
the hero OF Mafelxing. may be taken in
good part. Some of them are merely
diverting, the results of too hasty oh
servation; the others point at defects
which are remediabIe. None of the
criticisms is malicious; all are made
from the standpoint Of good viii.
The British officer says, for example.
that our troopers are fed on too much
and rich food and do not have enough
Eymnastic exercise to give them
strength and endurance. Doubtless the
embaimed beef critics viii be edited
by this tribute to the high quality of
the army fare. As to strength and en-
DURANGO, it is probably true that SOL
diers the world over are not as well
built up in garrison as they are in the
field: but If the sound constitution is
there the soldier in active service soon
pulls himself together. The history of
the Indian campaigns of the American
cavaIryman speaks for his adaptability,
to say nothing of his achievements in
zhe Civil War and the Philippine cam
paisns.
General Baden-Powell is not far out
OF the way when ne says that our pres
ent troopers have never been seasoned
by hard service. The majority of those
who went into the Philippine war in
1895 and 1899 have now served their
terms and are out OF the army and
their places are taken by raw recruits.
But II trouble should come. a great
many Of them would volunteer again
Probably enough cowboys could be
had from the West to make as large
and as. effective a cavalry force as Gen
Baden-Powell ever saw. He must re-
member that America has its Cossack:

During the heat of the recent troubles
in Venezuela, when the coast was block
AIDED and starvation was staring fifty
per cent. of the people in the face,
stephen Bonsal was surprised to find
President Castro enjoying himself at a
picnic at La Victoria, where cham
payne was flowing like water. 'I did
not succeed in concealing, nor did I
very much try to conceal, my astonish-
ment at the scenes which met my eye"
he says II had certainly thought to
find our ally otherwise engaged. But
why should you wonder?' said Castro,
noting my surprise; our part is play
ed. We have picked the quarrel, and
now, blessed be the Monroe Doctrine,
our role is finished, and the fighting
must be done by ell ito Samuel. All the
papers in the case have given to your

WANTS CHURCH MARRIAGE.
still Doubt as to Whether Princess
ROspigiiosi VIII Get II.

Rome, March 10.-The CONGREGATION
of the Propaganda has received from
Bishop O'Connell of Portland, Me-, his
report on the investigation he made
into the marriage of Princess Ros-
pigliosi, nee Reid, of Washington, with
her divorced husband, Col. Parkhurst,
of Bangor. Me.
The Princess wishes to. prove that
her marriage with Col Parkhurst was
illegal, and thus have ii annulled by
the church in order to pave the way
to church recognition of her mar
riage with Prince Rospigliosi and an
authorization for a religious ceremony
here. Bishop OConnell, in making his
report, does not give an opinion, SO
that the congregation must itself set
tie the dispute.
Princess Rospiglicsi, who is a Cath
olic was divorced int1S9S from Col.
Parkhurst, who was a Protestant, and
in 1901 was married in Rome to Prince
Rospigliosi, head of an ancient family
Of clerical nobility and brother to the
commandant of the papal noble guard.
The ceremony was a civil one and
from the first the Catholic Church re-
fused to recognize the marriage. When
the Prince first applied to the Congre-
cation of the Propaganda for recog-
milton of his wife's divorce in the
United States, the church declined to
recognize it, but Monsignor Chappelle,
who married Mrs. Parkhurst to her
first husband, since testified before the
Congregation that the first marriage
was irregular according to the laws
of the church

"REMINISCENCES OF
JOHN /. SULLIVAN.
Famous Old Fighter Discusses Box
erS Past and Present.

Poor old John L. Sullivan. once the
idol Of the world as a pugilist, who is
now jogging along over his vaudeville
circuit with his monologue tucked IN
der his arm and an occasional jag IN
der his shirt, got in a reminiscent
mode the other day and discussed
fighters, present and past. He solilo-
quized as follows:
'Kilrain was one of the greatest
fighters I ever fought I don't say he
was better than the other men have
met. Els battle. which lasted for sew
enty-fiye rounds, stamps him as a great
fighter. Kilrain went down many times
in that contest. but he gamely came
after me. Yes, it was a fierce battle
whse it lasted-a little more than two
hotls.
My go with Mitchell. which took
place in Chantilly France, lasted only
thirty-nine rounds, but it was a much
longer battle than the Kilrain bout
The exact time was three hours and
ten minutes. Mitchell was a very
clever fellow. He was a good, all-round
fighter
Paddy Ryan was another top-notch-
er in his day. Those fellows were not
quite so clever as the boxers of to-
day. We went in the ring for bust
ness; not to dance around. We all had
enough science to get out of a punch
days men did not care for decisions on
points. A man wanted to win as quick
ly as possible. and the sooner his man
was put out the better.
"Corbett is the cleverest man ever
boxed. He is the fastest big man in
the ring. His Snly trouble is he has
not got the punch That's what tells
in the fighting game.
Talking of hard punches, I never
met man who really hurt me. Men
like kilrain, Mitchell and Ryan landed
any damage. When I went into the
ring l was prepared TO stand anything
that came my way. The present-day
fighters are a good lot. There is JEFF
fries. He's a class all by himself JEFF
is too big for men like Fitzsimmons
Jeff is a great fighter. His record
shows that. Because he is big he does
not seem clever, but is faster than
people imagine.
Next to Jeffries, Fitzsimmons is the
best fighter. I think he can defeat any
man in the world at his weight. While
in England / tried to get on a fight
with Tug Wilson. / was meeting all
corners and offered Wilson $3.50 He
replied that he would not enter the
ring for the Bank of England.
when / was going to fight Flood in
1881 on a barge anchored off Yonkers
was to be thrown overheard. Every
thing was fixed for me to lose. but Al
Smith, the referee, was too honest for
any such game. He did his duty and
l won. After the fight I was the whole
thing. The bout lasted eight rounds. !
never would stand for any unfair deal.
l was always out to win on my mer-
its.
"A man can be honest. no matter
what game he is in. Then if you have
| lost honestly that is better than win
ming unfairly"

TROOPS ARE NEEDED
At Toledo Because of n Strike of
Transfers.

Toledo. O., March flowing to an
attack made on non-union teamsters
here to-day by striking teamsters, the
Toledo Carriage Association has de-
clared its intention of asking Gov.
Nash to send troops to this city to pro-
tect its non-union men. Scenes OF vio-
lence have been repeated on the streets
since last night, reYolvers have been
flashed and the police have refused to
interfere.
To-day has been one of the most ex-
citing in the city's history, nor is the
excitement abated by the strikers dec
laration that a general strike will be
called, and that no Toledo freight will
be hauled by teamsters in any part of
the country.
The trouble began at noon, when an
enraged mob of 400 strikers and sym
pathizers followed a truck through the
principal business streets, endeavoring
to knock and pull from his place a nom
union driver. The mob also attempted
to do violence to Manager Turner OF the
Moreton Truck Company.
In whirling around a corner the
truck was overturned. and the next
instant the non-union driver and man
ager were on the pavement, with the
mob on top of them. In the melee the
two objects of the attack escaped into
A restaurant, where mattresses screen
Ell them from and defied the bowling
mob that was at their heels until the
police interfered. The police escorted
the fugitives to safety. but then gave
notice that any further provocation
given the strikers would be the fault
of the employers; and they would not
interfere hereafter.
Later the report was received that
an attempt had been made to throw a
'scab' driver into the river. but had
been frustrated by the police. Not an
hour later another non-union driver
was torn from a truck in front of the
Moreton truck Office. and at the point
of revolver, was compelled to run for
his life. Similar fate befell non-un-
ion teamster within a block of the po-
lice station. Police Sergeant Conway,
the Only officer detailed to watch the
case, says that the employers precipi-
tated the trouble by threatening to
brain any union teamster who attempt
ed to climb on one of their trucks.

PEACE ONCE AGAIN
Hovers Over the Atlanta Board OF
Police Commissioners.


Atlanta, March 10.-The Atlanta
Board of Police Commissioners reor-
ganized tonight with the election of
DR.. Amos Fox as chairman: Commits
sioner W. o. Jones, vice chairman. and
Commissioner Ward Day. secretary.
Out of the extensive airing before
a council investigation committee,
which the police board has enjoyed
since the first of January, the men,
bers have some to a harmonious I'M
derstanding with themselves and the
white wings of peace were very con-
spicuously in evidence at to-night's
session.
The surprise of the meeting was
the election of w. o. Jones as vice
chairman. The election of DR.. Amos
Fox. the only man on the boafd who
represented neither faction, to the
craftsmanship. was a foregone eonclu-
sion.
The fact that Commissioner johnson
voted for Jones for vice chairman was
regarded as a suspicious beginning of
the end Of politics in the board is near
al hand, and the members agree that
IL Is not worth while to quarrel among
themselves since the present regime
has less than four months to live.
