ENGLISH GENERAL
 PROFUSE IN PRAISE
GENERAL IAN HAMILTON, ON RE- VIEWING PARADE OF AMERICAN CAVALRY, LAUDS ITS MANEU- VERS.

Chattanooga, october 2O.-General Ian Hamilton was profuse in his praise of American soldiers in general, and the Seventh cavalry in particular in his visit to Chickamagua battlefield today.
 General Hamilton inspected the regi- ment which afterwards passed in review.
 When the review was ended General Hamilton addressed the officers. He said:
 "l cannot let you gentlemen depart without telling you what a great privilege I have esteemed 1t to witness this review 1t has been one of the most pleasan- events of my trip. You must let me congratulate you on the noble aprear- ance, you present and the excellent training your men demonstrate.
 "A few years ago it was predicted that the cavalry would be soon out-distanced by the infantry with it's perfected arms, and would become a secondary consider ation in warfare, but the South African war demonstrated the fact that the day of the cavalry is just begun.
 ''I am proud of this seventh regiment As a commander in the cavalry and one of it's staunchest supporters I cannot see a command like this without taking d personal pride in it."
 General Hamilton and party left this evening for Fort Riley, thence to New York from which place they will sail Tuesday for England.

UMPIRE DECIDES
 AGAINST CASTRO
VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENTS CLAIM FOR DOUBLE PAYMENT OF LOCAL TAXES IS NOT sUS- TANNED BY RALSTON.

Port of Spain. Trinidad October 2o.- Jackson Ralston of Washington, the um- pire of the Italian commission at Caracas, has decided against Venezuela in the case of the governments claims for the double payment of local taxes, which decision ap- plies in principle to the attempts now be- ing made by the Venezuelan government to collect a second payment of taxes on goods imported at Ciudad. Bolivar, under the recent revolutionary government at that port The umpire holds that tax payers were protected by the payment to the de facto officers, and calls attention to the Castine case, decided by Justice Stor- CT to this effect. and the recent attitude, under like circumstances, of the United States at Bluefields. Nicaragua.
 When the decision of Mir. Ralston is known in Venezuela. it will create a vivid impression, as President Castro is causing the persecution at Ciudad, Boli- var. of foreign merchants who are refus- ing to pay the Castro government duties, which they had previously paid to the late revolutionary government.

The calls at both the city hall and the custom house were very brief The prince and his atten- dants were resplendantly dressed in their naval costumes and grouped with his highnes in the center they formed a pretty figure, the Duke being distinguish ed only by his plumes and the show of attention given him by the Consul and his aide.

Superior Ring GeneraIship Toward the
 End Told the Story.

Boston, Mass, October 20.-Terry McGovern, former featherweight cham plon of the world was given the de- cision over Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea tonight after hard fifteen-rouL bat tie before the Criterion Athletic eun For ten rounds the ex-champion seemed to have lost his old-time cum ming and even a favorable decision for him seemed doubtful.
 Toward the end, however. far su- perior ring generalship told the story, and he had the Chelsea boy completely at his mercy. During the last four rounds McGovern administered terrific punishment, but he was unable to lan1 a decisive blow. and as the final bell found both men on their feet, a de. cision was given on points.

Convention Insurance Agents.

Hartford Conn.,, October 20.-In open ing the annual convention of the Nation al Association of Local Fire Insurance Agents here today President Thomas A. Greer of Cleveland directed the attention of the members to the multiple agency.
 'sUnder a proper local agency system" said the speaker, "a commission of not over II per cent on all classes of busi- ness should be ample. and on the basis of the business of 1902, upwards of sl0.- OO00OO would be saved annually, which is now expended in the illegitimate pay ment of commissions. There Is no doubt that a state has as legitimate right to limit the maximum commission to agents. as it has to limit the rate of interest"

The pardons are granted on the recom- mendation of the district attorney and judge and the deputy marshal, who was resisted in which recommendations the attorney general concurred for the main reason that five other co-defendants who were jointly indicted and pleaded guilty received sentences of only three months and already have been discharged. A further reason for pardon is on account of the i'll health of the prisoners and the unsanitary conditions of the jail where they are confined.
