thoughts Of a match with Georges Car
pentier behind him and Immediately
begin arrangements to meet some
other boxer. Darcy made this state
ment to the United Press today when

A RECORD BREAKING HIKE.
United States Marines Marched Sew.
cnty-six Miles In Day and Night.

Washington, Aug. 11.-What Is be-
heved to have been one of the long,
est tropical hikes ever made by
American troops thrown on their own
resources in a hostile country, was the
hike made by the Eighth company,
Fourth regiment Of United States ma.
rines, when it covered in a day and a
night, on July I'd and 3rd, the III
kilometers between Monte Christi and
Santiago. santO Domingo, after fight
ing most Of the way. 1t is seventy
six American miles between these two
points and tho hike was the third
longest ever made by the United States
marine corps, under any circumstan-
ces that approached warfare.
With handful Of United States
marines. Col. Pendleton maintained
unbrOken. an eighty mile line of COM
munication, and the quick settling of
the Dominican trouble is probably
due. in the opinion of marine crops
officials, TO the rapid hiking of the
marines to the interior of the country.
The natives have been disarmed and
there Is no further fighting.
The expeditiOnary force, under Col.
PendletOn Of, the Marine Corps, con-
sisted of two regiments of marines.

ulation is to he expected and even de-
sired. Trained negroes will be in
greater demand elsewhere, and will
frequently leave when their training
is completed. The whole chief pur-
pose of the project is stated to be the
increasing of the negro's economic
efficiency.
AT the same time, it is hoped that
the large grounds set aside for public
buildings, and the fact that the en-
tire population of the city will be
negro, will cause the settlement to
become a social and intellectual centre
for the colOrcd Ieoplc from several
states 1t is also hoped that the SAN
itary way in which the town will be
laid out and kept. and the presence
there of sanitarium for negroes ex-
clusirely will make the city something
of health resort AS well.
The present tour is p,'s---N one of

selected and secured, the members of
the board say they are ready to begin
laying out the town and organizing
the company.

ment in which he said he had en-
forced the civil service law to the let
ter" Mr.. Bryan challenged the Re-
publican nominee to state whether he
had given appointments to deserving
Republicans" while governor of New
York.
Recent speeches of Mr.. Hughes
quoted a letter Mr.. Bryan had written
to Wick, receiver of customs in Santo
Domingo, inquiring as to what posi-
ton could be obtained to reward de-
serving Democrats"
II am not ashamed of it," the state
nent read. The letter was written to
an appointive officer whose office was
not under the civil service and the in
quiry was made in regard to Offices
which were not under the civil ser.
vice.
The statement, after declaring Mr..
Hughes to have shown himself quite
prompt in discharging obligations"
declares:
las an official, / enforced the civil
service law to- the letter, and upon my
resignation received from the en-
ployes in the State department. more
than 80 per cent. of whom were UNI
der the civil service, a watch which I
prize as a priceless treasure. But,
while observed the civil service law
wherever it was in force, 1 felt my
self free to aid in rewarding deserv-
ing Democrats wherever it could be
done without detriment to the service.
THE deserving Democrat is not
to be despised-he is as much en-
titled to recognition as deserving Re-
publican
When he was a candidate for gov-
ernor Mr.. Hughes received the sup
port of the railroads of New York and
he generously repaid the debt by veto-
ing the 2 cent passenger rate bill. He
did not describe that as shameful.
When candidate Tor gever1or. he
received the support of the New York
tax dodgers. the owners OF swollen
fortunes, and he paid his debt by
sending a message to the legislature
protesting against the income tax
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton. He does not describe that as
shameful ~
'He is now being supported by the
railroads of the United States and ex-
poets to pay them back by aiding them
to escape State legislation and find q
haven of security in exclusive federal
control over the railroads; he is being
supported by the shipping trust and
expects to pay them back by helping
them to prevent government competi-
ton. He is supported by the trust
magnates and expects to pay them
back by shielding them from punish-
ment for the extortion which they de-
sire to practice; he is supported by
Wall Street and expects to pay them
back by spending American blood and
squandering money raised by taxation
in order to guarantee profits on spec
ulative investments. And yet with the
record which he had made in paying
his political obligations at the expense
of the public and with the pledges
his speeches contain to those who are
now aiding his ambitions, he has the
impudence to hold up for criticisms
a legitimate effort to reward compe-
tent men for service which they have
rendered to the cause of reform"
