MISSION A FAILURE.
Disappointment in London
Chamberiain's Visit.
Over

London, Jan. 25.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain's South African mis-
sion has been a disappointment from
the ministerial as well as the Stock
exchange standpoint. He has settled
nothing, but has been badly worsted
by the Rand magnates over the war
contribution. That contribution of
$3.50, DOC, 000-less than half what the
public had expected it to be-,is out
weighed by the loan to be made by
the Imperial government to the new
colonies. and it is made conditional
on Mr.. Chamberlain's giving the min
ing companies a free hand in "crimp-
ing black labor for the mines. This
he could not consent to hatlv, so he
adopted the device of appointing a
royal commission of mining magnates
and their friends to fix the terms up

CORBET HAS
NEW PUNCH
SAYS HE WILL KNOCK JEFFRlEs
OUT.
WILL SACRIFICE SOME SPEED
Former Champion Hard at Work De-
veloping His New System of
Ring Tactics.
WILL SACRIFICE SOME SPEED

Montreal Jan. 22-According to press
reports James J.. Corbett is making
strenuous efforts to develop a knock
out punch. Now that his match with
Jeffries is practically assured, he is
practicing a system of training by
which he means to utilize his hitting
power with more effect than in his
previous contests.
While Cerbett has I've earned a
reputation as a knockout fighter, *
perts who know him we'll and who
have watched his work in the ring are
we'll aware that he carries with him
a punch sufficiently hard for all prac-
tical purposes. That he can deliver
a knockout punch there is not the
shadow of a doubt; but heretofore
he has not had the time to set himself
for a decisive blow, his forte having
been speed and cleverness.
Men who witnessed the Corbett-
Mitchell fight at Jacksonville, Fla,
in 1894, will never doubt Corbett's
ability as a puncher, as he put the
Englishman to sleep without much
trouble.
Corbett has decided to change his
tactics in future contests. He means
to sacrifice some of his speed for the
| benefit of his hitting. In other words,
hO MAINS RI c1ooHnn hic nara when
the opportunity for a good, stiff blow
presents itself, and in this way he
hopes to win some battles in more
decisive fashion than he has in the
past. Corbett has, since his profess
sional debut, been regarded as the
speediest of all the big fellows.
Lightning fast with both hands and
feet, he has boxed all around his op-
ponents, singing them and barking
them with rapid-fire fusilades or jabs
and hooks to face and body. He has
preferred this manner of warfare to
the more deliberate style in which
knockouts are accomplished. Jim,
who has always been a close student.
has come to realize that he a i'm.
prove his worth as a fighter by Civ
ing more attention to hard hitting.
With this object in view, he spends
much time in dumbbell exercise, by
which he is developing the muscles
of the forearm and b~ack-shoulder
He uses five-pound d%umbbells, and be
lieves that while they will have d
tendency to make him a trife SLOW

WYOMING COUPLE TOO SHREWD
FOR OFFICERS.
AS is EARTH HAD OPENED
Disappear in Bridger Canyon and All
Efforts to Locate Them
Fail.

Search for the clipping couple from
Wyoming, for whom the local Of
icers were on the lookout last week,
has been abandoned, at least at this
end OF the line supposed to have been
taken by the fleeing lovers, but the
mystery of their disappearance is
growing deeper. For several days all
incoming trains were closely watch
ed. as it was said the clippers would
probably arrive from Red Lodge, as
they had been seen driving in that
direction and it was believed they
would try to obtain a license and be
married in this city. Search was
also made of the lodging houses and
hotels, but without avail. Later in
formation was received that the yong
folks had been passed by a man on
Sage creek and that instead Of TAX
ing a train they would probably drive
into town. Then the hunt was taken
up once more, but with NO better re-
suits.
From what can be learned the Wyo-
ming sheriff and the one of Carbon
county, who were also looking for
Ferdig, that is the name of the man
in the case, and the girl had no bet
ter success and the matter is assum-
ing the shape Of a real a of 'smys-
FERROUS disappearance" The couple
started from Ten Sleeps "a little town
across the Wyoming line, where the
father of the girl is a minister and
who seriously objected to the suit Of
Ferdig, who is Fl years of age, while
the girl is said to be only IA. Be
cause of parental objection the two
decided to elope and headed for Mon
tana. Although the sheriff of Basi1

and were only a short distance be
hind them, they were unable to over
take them and Ferdig and the CIR

The Graft Committee finds that the city employs

Park race meeting last summer about half the force

they are too strong to work at anything but the

has suggested that time clocks be put into the various
city oices and that the payroll brigade be forced to
register the actual number Of hours they spend at
their desks. 1t is good suggestion. Only it does not
go far enough. Time clocks should be put in all the
city offices. and the Civil-Servlce Commission should
test mans efficiency in part by his me-clock record

ALERT CITIZENSHIP

Just now there is a fat proposition which ought
to he pressed home to every who is content to
cast his own and his familys lot with the future
| career of st. Louis-namely, that decency in public
affairs is personal matter for himself That is the
gist Of truth which, II somewhat trte is none the
less soberly and profoundly to be contemplated.
Naturally enough. during our two years Of dis
quiet and disclosure and prosecution of public crimes
good deal has been said about civic morality and
municipal ethics by public speakers lecturers mag
azines the pulpit and the press. Some people doubt
less have been aenated in interest by the profuson
of comment forced out by long succession of de-
velopmens, and 1t is perhaps human nature to grow
weary of sermons and sermonizers
But the discussion must 60 on. There is no more
important consideration for the public now than
that which has to do with the perpetuation Of de-
cency in civic affairs To what extent the respecta
bic standards Of officialism established under the
present administration shall be preserved depends
upon the people Of the town.
That the difference between good government and
maladministration is measured by the community's
Interest must be plain to every man. St Louiss ex-
perience has made it plain. The something which
we have come to call civic apathy fastened like
saomnolence upon the community. Ziegenheinfsm
was the direct consequence Unquestionably we
should never have been compelled to endure the
period Of miSrule and Doodle had there been any
thing like the present manifestation of public inter-
est And, had the lisessness continued, it is alto
gether probable that we should he to-day in the
thra Of those black conditions which characterized
the Doodle era. We have experienced the ILL., the
diagnosis has been performed, the cause discovered
and the cure applied. The cure has succeeded, and
our remaining concern is for the preservation of
health. Public attentiveness and socitude will &C.
cure and retain for us the improved municipal
dittons already established, and will even enhance
the health Of the civic system.
How the public interest in local affairs acts as
healthful stimulant is happily illustrated just now
in the Investigation Of petty graftng in supplies

creates spirit for clean administration that extends
to every branch of governmental proprietorshp. A
Mayor however excellent and endowed with execu-
tive capacity and the heads of the larger depart,

to effect absolute proby and purity throughout the

bequeathed by the preceding administration that nu-
merous small transactions must be watched and

The significance Of the celebration can well attract

that the festivities will prove interesting and in
