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.

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. "
