The men "Weighed 145 pounds. Smith never fought harder In his life and In-the eleventh round he knocked Walcott off his feet with a' right hand awing on the' Jaw. A few momenta later both men went to the floor from a clinch and Wafcott stayed down on one knee for eight second * . It looked then as if Walcott 'would go but with another good blow , but by repeated cllnfthlng he lasted the round out , as Smith WAS Unable to get to the mark. Walcott waa rather slow In h.i move ment * and got In so close to Smith that the latter waa unable to do much damage at cTose quarters. Walcott was favorite In the betting. His friends bet 100 to 70 on the colored man on the ground that Smith' * recent fight with Tommy West at Bridge port , Conn. , was not up to the winning form .nd they argued that the time Smith and Walcott met , also at Bridgeport , the negro lad the upper hand. Smith won cleverly tonight and when the referee's decision was announced there was cry little adverse criticism.

FARMERS' ' CONGRESS MEETS Fort Worth People Give Hearty Welcome to the Agriculturists , ANNUAL ADDRESS BY EX-GOVERNOR HOARD Scuton Llfltcn * to an Instructive nnil Entertaining Dlottlon of ( ho Subject of Sna-ar Beet Culture. FORT WORTH , Tex. , Deo. C. The Farm ers' National congress began Its annual ses sion here today , with several hundred dele gates present. After the address of welcome by Governor Culberson and others the pres ident of tbo congress , ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin- delivered his annual address. He said in part : I congratulate you on the 'increased hope and encouragement' that have como to the homes of the great ma of American farm ers the last year , -In almost every branch except cotton farming there has been a manifest Improvement in prices. Let us hope that our brethren of the cotton field have gained somcthlng"ln economic knowl edge , which Is ; after * all , the keynote to profit everywhere : Wo can promote a wide acquaintanceship between the agriculturists of the whole country , teaching ourselves In the doctrine first , . . .thot'wlth there is no north , no south , no tail. no west. It Is the bounden luty of this congress to preserve Its own life. To this end I would recommend the creation of auxiliary organizations In the several states. Two forces will work constantly to disrupt and disorganize us ; first , the selfish ness of certain elements which dread the effect of the education we can and should iccompllsh hero In the way of helping pub ic conviction to a true understanding of the rights and Interests of the American armor. Second , the personal sacrifice of time , effort and money necessary to the as sembling of this congress. One Is at work without dud the other within. Every other profession pays large respect .0 the Intellectual cower and development. ilavo they secrets more profound to solve han we ? Have they problems more difficult to comprehend ? No.i , The farmer stands dally In the presence of God's laws the most > rofound , the most subtle of all lawa to In- .erpret. He shrinks from such contention , lor he realizes his lack of Intellectual train- , ng. He submits to unjust laws and sys- : ems of taxation. Ho sees personal property orgely exempt and landed property grelv- iDusly burdened , yet he knows that the true basis of all taxation is the dollar's worth of jroperty. without regard to Its character For his own success , In business ho must be setter educated as a farmer : for his own protection as a citizen he must study harder and look deeper Into his relations with hla 'ellow ' men in the urtat social end political compact. He needs BO much and the coun try needs still moro from him. a higher in- ; ellectual comprehension of what It means to bo on American farmer and an American citizen. 'Senor Miguel Romero , representative from Guatemala , addressed the congress on the irogross of agriculture In bis country. He said the principal products were coffee , cocoa and sugar cane.

NEW HANDSJfflLE HAWAII ( Continued from First Page. ) wallan silver coins shall be received at par value In payment of all dues to the govern ment of the tarrltory of Hawaii and of the United States , nnd shall not again bo Is sued , but shall on presentation In sums of 1300 to cither government bo purchased ami rccolncd as bullion at the mint In San Francisco. All Hawaiian silver certificates arc to bo redeemed by the territory of Hawaii on or before January 1 , 1902. The other is , a bill which repeals the Hawaiian laws establishing postal savings banks and directs the secretary of the treas ury to pay the amounts on deposit in the Postal Savings imnk in Hawaii to the per sons entitled thereto , terminating the in terest on all deposits on the 1st of July , 1899 , and forbidding further deposits after that date. The report contains an inventory of the public property of the republic , which now inures to the United States , which Is of an estimated value of $10,418,740 , distributed as follows : Government of public lands $1,147,700 Government lots and sites 1.4S1.SOO Department property 4,789,240 The report gives considerable data in re gard to duties collected , showing that under the Dlngley bill the amount would have been much greater than it was. This com parison shows that the collection for 1897 , which was $548,483 , would bavo been , under American rule , $902,706. The report recom mends the construction of a cable to the Islands to bo under the control of the United States which it says is demanded by the military condition existing or liable to exist at any time. Speaking of the character of the popula tion of the islands and referring especially to the recommendation for conferring citi zenship upon the Portuguese and falling to confer it upon the Chinese and Japanese , the report says : "Tho Americans , although in euch a small minority , practically dominate the governmental affairs of the country , and with the British and Germans and part- blood Hawaiian-Americans , together consti tute the controlling element in the busi ness. The Chinese and Japanese do not now possess political power , nor have they any important relation to the body politic , ex cept as laborers. The Portuguese are largely Immigrants from the Islands and colonies of Portugal in the Atlantic and have never been closely tied to their mother country. With the certain attrition which is bound to exist between them and the Americans In Hawaii nnd under the influence ot the existing public school system which makes the study of the English language compul sory they promise to be a good class of people for the growth of republican Ideas.
