Berlin. March 17.-If Dame Rumor
is to be believed the imperious Kaiser
has met a Tarter" in his new daugh-
ter-in-law, the bride of his second son.
Prince Eitel Fritz. This young lady.
who was Princess Sophie Charlotte
of Oldenburg, has a good deal of au-
dacity in her temperament which is
very unreverencing of her father-in-
laws magnificence. The obsequious
Berlin court has apparently expected
the heavens TO fall on her self-as-
sertive head. She has openly con
tradicted his imperial Majesty, she
has thwarted one or two of his little
and she has shown a
marked distate to the stiff and stern
formality of the German court. Ana
the most surprising feature of it all
is that the Kaiser is said to be just
a wee bit afraid of the little lady, or
at any rate the unaccnstomed defer
ence he pays her would seem TO JUS
tify the suspicion.

London, March 14-There was of

experts affirm is the original of the
memorandum issued by Nelson from
the Victory off Cadiz the 10th of DC

the method of engaging the French
feet. Various copies of the document
exist, of course, but it was not until
recently that the public learned of
the existence Of the original draft. in
Nelson's autograph. For years it has
been in the possession of a family liv-
ing not far from Merton Abbey. 1t

Nine years ago, when the autograph
of Nelson's memoir of his birth, life
and services came under the hammer
at Sothebys, it was bought by deal
er for $4,000, and sold to an American
shortly afterward for a much higher
price.

ARE TRAINEDS
TO THE HOUR
BATTLING NELSON AND TERRY
McGoVERN WILL FIGHT To-
NIGHT AT PHILADELPHIA.
snecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, March a.
Trained to the hour and ready for
their battle, which is looked upon as
one of the most important pugilistic
events of the year, Battling Nelson
and Terry McGovern await the call to
the arena of the National Athletic
club tonight Never in this city has
more interest been taken in pugi-
listic encounter than is now manifest
ed in this bout Sporting men from
Boston to Chicago are arriving in the
city to witness the go. The attend
ance promises to exceed $1,000, and
so fast have the tickets been sold,
notwithstanding the big prices asked,
there is not likely TO be an unoccupied
seat within view of the ring.
Under the terms of the, articles of
agreement, the two boxers will re-
ceive rs per cent. of the gross re-
ceipts, As per cent. going to Nelson
and 80 per cent to McGovern. This
means that should the expectations
of the $4,000 gate receipts be real
lied, and there is little doubt but that
the sum will be reached, Nelson and
McGovern will receive between them
$12,750 This is the largest sum of
money ever paid by the public to see
two boxers in a siX-round contest any
where in the world. II means, in sub
stance, that they will receive sos
minute.
To experts of the game no battle OF
later years will be more interesting.
The two little gladiators are resting
on their arms today, fit as the prov
erbial fiddles. Little or nothing in
the way of training has been done to-
day. At a late hour this afternoon
the little fellows meet and weigh in.
They must not tip the beam a notch
over 1873 pounds.
AS a betting proposition the fight
does not promise much This owing
principally to the fact that under the
law no decision can be given. About
all the betting that is being done is
on the possibility of a knockout be-
fore the scheduled distance has been
reached.
Weeks ago the match was made,
and since that time the two men have
been working hard getting into con-
dition. If the reports from their re-
spective training camps are to be re-
lied upon and the fighters are in the
splendid trim they are claimed to be,
it is hard for any one to draw a line
between the pair.
Both boys feel confident of victory
and are figuring on winning in the
same way-that is, by a knockout
blow. McGovern is confident of treat
ing Nelson in the same manner he
did Tommy Murphy. However this
may be, it is certain that if Mccoy
ern is in his old-time shape Nelson
will meet the toughest man he ever
faced, and he will have his work cut ,
out to win.
The same feeling of confidence per
vades the Nelson camp. I'm in SPLEEN ,
did trim for this fight" said Battling
today, 'and l won't have any excuse
to offer if | lose. l expect to win by
a knockout before the sixth round"
Jack Michigan, the regular club
referee, will officiate.
