tempts with vicious counters. Corbett
then sent in a straight left on the
face. and Nelson landed left and right
to jaw and face, sending Corbett
about the ring. Corbett fought back

the Dane scarcely noticed it. Nelson
got Corbett against the ropes. putting
right and left swings to jaw. Corbett
failed to land at any time and was
dazed. Nelson kept at him, sending
a volley of right and left jolts to the
face. Corbett fought like a drowning
man grasping a straw, but Nelson
showed him no mercy. Corbett took
a terrible beating in this round and
looked like a defeated man as he
went to his corner.

The gong rang with Corbett in this
position.

Suddenly Corbett shot two straight
tights to jaw. but Nelson never budg-
ID an inch. Corbett rallied again, dri-
ving left and right to face. They work
I'd to the center of the ring, and Cor
oett finally going to the floor from a
straight right which caught him on

but was so groggy that he could hard

Wild man. His seconds seeing their
hopes defeated threw up the sponge
and Corbett was carried to his cor
ner. Nelson was quickly given the
decision.

John Hay and santo Domingo.

washington POBt.
 It is to be feared that an appreciable loss of prestige as diplomat will be the unfortunate outcome of the Santo Domingo question, so far as the Hon. John Hay Is concerned. If as one of the Senators on the Committee on Foreign Relations remarked, the Santo Domingo arrangement is the worst written treaty ever transmitted to the Senate" the conclusion is irresistible that Secretary Hay was not responsible for It's authorship. No document would have passed the scrutiny of MT. Hay which would have failed to stateclear- scribe the responsibilities assumed by the United States. Why, then, does this treaty have his nominal approval? Such query is perplexing.
 The whole course of the Santo. Do- mingo negotiations reveals the pres ence of clumsy hand, whose work has been rendered harmless only because of it's crudity. The Dillingham; San festation of the workings of this new hand in the State Department That wretched piece of work, and the mis- leading and disingenuous statements purporting to come from the State De- partment regarding 1t, were of a char acter totally different from the work manship of John Hay. Every step in those early negotiations appears to have been a blunder.
 Setting aside the question whether 1t Is wise to violently extend the Monroe doctrine to include the theory that the debts of delinquent neighbors must be collected by the United States, 1t should certainly be possible for the State Department to draw up a treaty which would not require radical re- vision by the Senate in order to make its scope and meaning clear. It Is not usual nor seemly for the Senate to act the role of editor to the State Depart ment. It Is not too much to expect that carefully drawn and precisely. stated propositions shall be submitted to the Senate, leaving 1t free to pass upon the questions of policy involved.
 We are opposed to the whole policy of the proposed arrangement, with Santo Domingo. and should oppose any treaty, however perfectly drawn, de- signed to commit the United States to such a course of action. The pend ing treaty, however, Is especially re- pugnant, since It's palpable cruditles utterly refute the idea that 1t ever could have had the official supervision or personal approval of Secretary Hay.

Japan Ia Formosa.

Formosa had been under the rule of came into the possession of the Chi nese, but its inhabitants, as whole, had never been completely subdued un- til in 1901 the Japanese army succeed ed in making a complete conquest. The administrators sent out from Ja- pan have given proof of their ability and efficiency, and great sums of money have been expended on the Island. More than 1000 miles of highway have been built and nearly 100 miles of railway. and $15.000.000 Is to be spent upon the railroad system of the country. There are 2,6G0 miles of telegraph and 1890 miles of telephone lines In operation. The population has increased from g. 455,357 in 1897 to 3.0S2.z04 in 1903. The opium traffic was made a Govern ment monopoly not for the purpose of deriving a revenuL. but to discourage the use of the drug, which was sold only to confirmed opium smokers, who must also obtain a license. This policy is said to have worked very success fully.

Anectionate Statesmen.

In the closing hours of Congress last week the Republicans gave Speaker Cannon loving cup and the Demo- crats gave their house leader, John Sharp Williams. a similar token of af- lection and esteem. The presentation of the gifts was made at a joint eau GUS which was marked by a spirit of unusual fraternity and good fellowship. In fact. the diffusion of brotherly love was so copious that 1t rather stopped over. But be that as 1t may, the case was not so bad as some manifestations of a similar kind which occurred in former times. John W. Forney relates and Beverly Tucker.

THEY DoN,r LIKE TT.

To say that prominent New York Re- pubiicans are disgruntied over the ap- pointment of a negro--or the negro--to the position of Revenue Collector is to put It mildly. Some of them are dis gusted and some are decidedly hot un- der the collar. One of them writes from Albany to The New York Post in this vein:
 Except that he is a negro, a master or the negro vote in New York, one can to the Collectorshipl of Internal Reve- nue for New York. Were he brown or red or white. there would be arguments hsssinss Ma ms confirmation. He is Char: charlie" Hess himself would not be popularly approved for so important a place as the largest revenue office. U was Hess who furnished the money to keep him from working out the fine Tn jail, Anderson being one of his lieu tenants and proteges.
 MT, Roosevelt. when Governor. must nave known him. It is not therefore a case of taking the word of some or ganizatlon Republican as to who would be fit man to succeed ColIec- tor Treat.
 Prominent men in the party do not hesitate to declare that Anderson has no claims or qualifications that would have secured for him the place if he were white man. In plain words, he was appointed because he is a colored man. and because. as one of them puts it. "he Is master of the colored vote. |" We of the South have no objection to seeing the brethren up there get some of their own medicine. but we sympa- thise with them sometimes.
 The New York Times is unable to see ''how a much worse case could be made out for the Presidents nominee, or one that would do less good or more harm to the negro" and that Is true. 1t will do them harm, because, when once they get the impression that not character or qualifications are neces- sary to secure official favors from the President. but that they are to be ap- pointed because they are negroes 1t will bea bad day for them. The Pres ident has had much to say in favor of the policy of giving some of the ofilces to oolored men when they are properly qualified and fitted, but if men of his own party are to be believed they will be favored because of their color.

Sullivan and His shamrocks.

Alderman James J. Sullivan, the great-hearted Irishman who represents Ward S in the Montgomery City Coun- ell. will be proud today when he ap- pears on the streets wearing the shamrock In the lapel of his coat and a green necktie.
 Mr. Sullivan always happy on St. Patrick's day. This Is the day on which he has an unusually warm smile and an extraordinary glad hand for his friends.
 Tt is my intention" said the Alder man last night, .'to decorate every man in Montgomery who cares to wear one with a shamrock tomorrow. The Irish have but one day in the year and I'm going to make, an Irishman of every friend of mine tomorrow who will wear my shamrocks. I have ordered sham rocks enough for all of my friends and all they have to do is to call at my of- flee or telephone he and the decoration will come right along"
 If the Alderman expects to give shamrocks to every one of his friends in Montgomery he must have @ very large supply on hand.
