CHAMPION HAD HARD GO,
Young Corbett Gets Worst of First
 Rounds tn Contest,

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-Champion Young Corbett and Tim Callahan, the latter of this city, fought six rounds to- night at the National Athletic club, in which Corbett got the better of the hard contest.
 The fighters were in excellent condi- tion for the battle. Although Corbett forced the fighting at all times, Calla- han had the better of the first four rounds. Corbett had much difficulty in landing. Nearly every time he went after Callahan the Philadelphian would meet him with a straight left or a right handed uppercut. In the third round Callahan made Corbett's nose bleed. There was no choice between the men in the fifth round, which was stubborn ly fought. The sixth, however, was all Corbett's. Callahan slipped and in re- gaining his feet the champion struck him terrific blow on the jugular which almost knocked Callahan out From then to the end of the round Corbett rained blows on his groggy opponent, but failed to knock him out.

New York, Oct. 21.-The Brooklyn democrats are again at peace with each other, or appear to be.

The only discordant note was sounded by Martin w. Lttleton, can- didate for borough president, who ir1- sists on maintaining the attitude taken by him week ago, when he declared against the nominations of Grout and Fornes.
 The harmony committee, appointed by the Kings county committee meeting on Monday night, held an executive ses- sion tonight and immediately after ward it was announced that the com mittee would report to the committee at meeting to be held tomorrow and recommend that the entire ticket, in cluding Grou and Fornes, be endorsed.

 Freedom of Colonies.

London, Oct. 21.-Joseph Chamberlain spoke to large audience at Tynemouth this afternoon, but he did not add much to what he had already said. He dwelt lengthily on the relations between Great Britain and her colonies and said his speech at Glasgow had been misap- prehended. Under no circumstances did. he wish to interfere with the com- mercial freedom of the colonies, any more than he had let them interfere with Great Britain's freedom. Both were to be given full power to say what their fiscal policies shall be. ,

Hon Joseph A. DeBoer president of
the National Life insurance company
OF Montpelier positively declines to
be a candidate for governor. In a
letter to Editor Ropes of the Montpel-
Ter Journal Mr. DeBoer says:
Dear Mr. Ropes:-Permit me to ac-
knowledge your favorof the 9th inst,
asking if will permit the use OF my
name as a candidate for the republican
nomination to the governorship of this
State.
To this my answer is ''No." The
reason for this answer is briefly this:
depend for my income upon my work
il do not do that work all of the
time, il is my opinion that / should
not draw the pay. ! need this pay,
however, to discharge the obligations
which have assumed and for which
! am responsible. 1t seems to me,
therefore unwise and unnecessary to
drop this work, which gives me pleas
ure, for the sake of seeking opportun-
ity in politics.
AT the same time | may say frankly
2 that ! should like TO be governor for
the sake of the service and, if that SER
vice were before me in the form of an
actual choice I would gladly and
proudly respond to the call. regard
myself barred, however, by circum-
stances, not meaning to suggest that
men whose work does not involve the
responsibilities of fixed trusteeship
may not, with perfect honor aud pro-
priety, both seek and hold public
Office of any kind.
Furthermore, | am wholly conscious
that our Vermont woods, on both sides
of the mountain, are full of better men
and that neither the party nor the
State can suffer the slightest harm
from my fixed purpose to keep at work
In my own shop.
Do me the favor, please, through
your paper, of conveying my SINGER
est thanks to all those who have hon
ored me with their kind opinions and
accept for yourself assurances of my
continued regard,
Yours very truly,
Jos. A. DeBOer.

Mr. Cantwell said that it was a ply
sical impossibility for Rogers to write
the uote, because it is in a small
cramped hand and does not FIJI small
piece of note paper and Rogers wrote
labored hand, which looked like a
school boys writing.
He said be thought the handwriting
in the note was feigned.
The word 'any" spelled "ony" in
the note is found "eay" in eleven of
Mrs Rogers letters. "Request" is
spelled "reqUst" in Mrs Rogers writ
ings and in the note.
There were also a great mar Y other
consistencies which fix upon Mrs Rog-
ers the authorship of the note, and he
said Mrs Rogers wrote the note.
1t is expected that the state will rest
tonight and the defense will begin to-
morrow morning. As to what it will
be, 10 one has the least iuklinp. Not
single subpoeUae has been served by
any officer in the court room. 1t is
reasonably certain that Mrs Rogers
will not go into the wItness-box.
Even should the arguments close TO-
morrow morning, the case would prob
ably not be given to the jury until
Monday as the thought of spending
Sunday at home might unduly hasten
verdict. The jury sat for photo
graph this noon.
In talking with the writer, Mr.
Cantwell said that reading character
by handwriting is unreliable, though
1t may sometimes betrsy nervous
state. Two days after the death Of
Mrs Adams, he says Moliueaux could
not write two words.
