ter the forty-second round began the

and his arm down. Several times he
hit Cans below the belt, apparently
feeling for vital spot. AT last he
drew back his right arm and hit
Cans vicious blow square in the
groin. The negro sank to his knees
and rolled over on his back
Referee Siler, without hesitation,
ordered Nelson to his corner and
awarded the fight to Cans on a foul
Siler's decision received almost unani-
| nous approval. The foul was so OBJ
Vious that not even men who had bet
on Nelson could say that 1t had not
been committed. All through the
long contest Nelson had employed
rough tactics. He repeatedly butted
Cans and had to have his head hauled
away by the referee.
Referee Silel stated that while he
would not say that the foul was in
territorial, there was no doubt but that
1t had been committed Nelson, he
sald had used his usual tactics all
through the fight, and while he knew
nat Nelson was butting whenever he
had all opportunity, he did not dis
qualify E!m for the reason that he
saw that 1t was not hurting Cans, as
no other referee had ever DISQUALIFIED

Does Not Appeal to DR.. Hirsch.

Government ownership of railways
and municipal ownership of street car
lines are theories which do not appeal
to Dr. Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago, who
has had experience with their practical
operation in European countries. DIR.
Hirsch has returned from European
trip and declares that the limited train
from New York far outclassed the gov
eminent owned trains of Germany.
81 am becoming more and more con-
WINGED that government ownership of
railroads is bad thing. In Germany
the conditions are very like those which
William j. Bryan advocates for this
country. Each one of the larger states
owns its own railroad and the lines con-
meet so that through trains can be run.
81 did not find the system satisfac-
tory. In the first place, with no COM
petition, improvements are slow. The
rolling stock is almost primitive and ac-
commodations are scanty. They are op-
Grated on a beaurocratic basis as if the
public existed for the railroad and not
the railroad for the public. The govern
ment will not throw away car unless
it is completely worn out. The en-
ployes are old soldiers and disagree
able military tone prevails.
''In France, where private ownership
under strict government control prevails,
things are equally bad. But in England,
under private ownership, the train serv
ice leaves nothing to be desired. Dis
elimination in rates exists in Germany
as well as in this country.
81 heard all over Europe that munich
pal ownership of street cars was un>
satisfactory, and that has been my eX-
perience."

Value Of Railway Property.

A valuation of approximately $l2,-
100000 for the intangible property of
the Chicago Union Traction company
has been decided upon by the officials of
the corporation as the basis of perml-
nent settlement with the city, on the
indeterminate license plan proposed by
Walter L. Fisher, special traction coun-
sci to Mayor Dunno. This figure will
make the total of tangible and intangi-
BILE property of the company close to
$4O,OOO,OOO. Mayor Dunno does not look
upon the reported amount as fair to the
city. With the Chicago City Railway
company, the city has cheaper field for
settlement. This company's stocks rep
resent $lS,OOO,OO0 nominal capital AMI
it has no bonds. The tangible property
of the Chicago City Railway company
has been valued by the corporation ut
500, lO3, 1886, and it is considered probable
the company will not ask more than
$l5,OOO,0OO for its unexpired franchise.
