Crowd Disappointed

give Squires his quietus and after TAX
ing the court of four he arose in a
wobbly fashion and rushed at Burns.
The two came into a clinch imme-
diately, but were quickly separated
in the center of the ring by Jim jeff
cries, the referee.
Burns lost no time in following up
the advantage ne had gained so early.
Out shot the dangerous right again
and a second time the champion Of
Australia was on the canvass, with
the undefeated champion Of the world
standing over him slowly calling OIL
the seconds. But the end was not
vet. Squires evidently had some
staying powers in the face of the pun
ishment administered to him and he
rose weakly and slowly, while Jeffer
les held back Burns until his adver
sary was in position to defend him
self. But Squires had little defense
left. The terrific rights to the jaw
had accomplished their result and The
men were barely in position agair

are that Mr.. Rockefeller telegraphed

Fergus Falls, Mimi, July 4.-Vice
President Fairbanks was the Fourth of
July attraction in this city today. He
drew a crowd such as had never been
seen here before.
After a parade, in which Mr.. Fair
banks participated and during which
he received an ovation, he addressed
the people from platform erected in
the city park.
Mr.. Fairbanks said:
"Our fathers lived in a government
of law-law written by representa-
tives Of the people, chosen by the
people themselves, acting in their SOW
ereign capacity They realized that
this was to be great country and
they knew that if it were to attain
to the full measure of the best eX-
pectations it must be country where
the law and the law alone should be
supreme. They knew full well
to be great it must be governed by
just laws, laws which, as good as hui
man foresight could devise could di-
rect the citizens enjoyment OF the
right to life liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness.
'They knew as well as we that in
the final analysis is the very life

respect for law and for established au'

who enact the law and those who ad

American troops in the North and the amazement and joy of the few Ameri. cans there on being told that Alaska had been purchased from the Russians.
 Of course, this flag of Leudecke's cannot be the official one as it was flown at Wrangell. Nevertheless, it would seem as if it has a strong claim to be the first AmericaG flag ever flown in the Northland.
 Another flag is told about by Major A. x. Brown, private secretary to Gov. Albert E. Mead, of the State of Wash ingtou. MT. Brown in this connection writes as follows the story of this flag
 "In making some researches among the government documents aud reports on the acquisition of Alaska; l have found that when Secretary Seward dis patched General Rousseau as United States Commissioner to Sitka to re- ceive the Territory of Alaska from the Russian Government, he had given to the general a flag with instructions to use 1t in formally taking possession. The report shows that it was used, that it was taken back to Washington by General Rousseau and that it was there returned to the Secretary. It would be interesting to have that flag exhibited at the Exposition. 1 would suggest that you interest some of the State delegation in that matter to the end that the Department of State hunt the old flag up and send it oGt."
 The whereabouts of the third flag is known to Dwight A. Hurlburt. MT. Hurlburt in writing explains further that he was member of the squad of the 2d U. s. Artillery, which went to Alaska in 1867 to take possession. He was the member of the squad to adjust the staff at the raising of the flag on October l0, 18G7, at Sitka. Mr. Hurl, burt took the pains to follow the course of this fag after it had served it's us9- fulness, and this he claims is the orig inal flag after which the Exposition is in search. The lag is not. as he says, in the possession Of the government at the present timg. Mr. Iurlburt is now in Kansas City, but spent many years in Alaska. He Ysss >hera when Secret ary Seward visited &itka; and took down the speech of Mr. Seward In shorthand and thus preserved it to posterity. It was afterwards published in the Alaska Times of tEat time.
 These are the three flags which seem to be most near to the ideal which the Exposition is seeking. Doubtless there are others and the management of the Exposition would be grateful to receive information from anyone Knowing any thing further about this matter, or in fact about anything vital Co the early history and settlement of Alaska.
