Root showed that he could deliver clean

first round. he all but knocked Willie
through the ropes. Willie. with his smile
and ungainly stride. proved himself to be
a ring tactician of no mean order. Root
had clearly the best of the first round.
MINDED by their struggle, the fighters bat
tied bravely through the each succeeding
round to the final one. 1t was certainty
that no knockout would occur. There was

CURING BY LIGHT RAYS.
Consul Frazier Describes Treatment
Practiced in Denmark

United States Consul Raymond R. Fra
zer, at Copenhagen. Denmark, has for
warded to the State Department an inter-
esting report upon the light treatment as
practiced in Denmark for the cure of dis
eases of the skin. The consul says that
the publication during the past few years
in the American newspapers and magazines
of the marvellous cures wrought by this
treatment has brought to Copenhagen about
seventy five American doctors and good
many patients who could not be cured in
the United States. He says: "Of the eight
American patients here at present it ap-
pears that all but one had their cases dag
nosed satisfactorily at once upon reaching
the institute and have been given hope of
final recovery.
The consul further states that the princi-
pie of the light cure is simple, but the
actual work of administering the cure and
obtaining satisfactory results is very diff
cult and requires the assistance of nurses
who have been trained by experienced ply
sicians

WILL SUPPORT CANAL TREATY.
Senator Mallory Denounces the Course
of the President.

Senator Mallory closed his remarks on the
Panama canal in the Senate yesterday
afternoon. and Senator Hepburn spoke in
support of the treaty.
After The Stars report of the proceed
ings was concluded yesterday afternoon Mr..
Mallory asserted that the recognition given
by the United States under the circum-
stances was just provocation for war by
Colombia against the United States He
said he found the orders issued by the
United States to our naval commanders
in isthmian waters were unjustifable under
the circumstances.
Mr.. Mallory denounced the action of the
executive in preventing the landing Of Co
lomblan troops as "a gross violation of the
law of nations"
But Notwithstanding these objections he
announced his intention to vote for the
treaty.
Mr.. Hepburn Spoke in support of the
canal treaty. He said he did not feel called
upon to apologize for the course of the adj
ministratdon in the matter of Panama be-
cause he felt that everything that had been
done had been within the scope of wisdom
and good policy. Incidentally Mr.. Hepburn
took occasion to make brief argument in
support of his resolution for the acquisition
OF San Domingo, which was, he said right
at our door, and which, if it were ours.
would enable us to protect not only the
canal, but Porto Rico as we'll
Mr.. Heyburn's reference to San Domingo
caused Mr.. Stewart to indulge in remi-
niscence relative to the effort to annex that
island to the United States made during
the first term of President Grant. Mr..
Stewart said he was at that time a mem
Der of the Senate, and he recalled the acri-
monious debate which the proposition ex-
cited He believed all would now agree
that the treaty should have been ratified,
and he was sure that it would have been
but for personal feeling against General
Grant He warned the Senate not to allow
the same motives to prevent the consum-
nation of another worthy act, like the
ratification of the canal treaty.

anything to say regarding the coming cut
