of ndmlrers , laughing and chatting as if It

Joe himself taking much part In the whis

Stretched nt full lengthen abed , the de

distress. Ills face -was red and swollen , par-
tlcuhrly about tlio ejcs , ana showed several

for hU defeat , "Account for it , " answered
McAullffc , shaking hb head sully , "I don't
account for It , except that Slavin
was smart enough to put mete
to sleep , Please don't talk about
the tight ; I have been fairly beaten and
there's ' an end of all. "
"I'll tell you how It happened , " spoke up
Billy Madden , Joo's faithful friend and
trainer. "Tho fight was a tcariHc ono from
the \cry outset. Both men -went in for slug'
gingfor all they were worth , nnd either man
was liable to bo knocked out any moment If
ono of these terrible blows happened tostrlko
him in the right place. That , unfortunately ,
iswhat happened to my man , If ho bad
avoided Slavin's blow on the jaw , it Is quite
possible thit ho himself would have knocked
SlaUnoutthoery next moment. In any
casolt is Intfonccivcablo that such terrific
fighting could have lasted more than a very
few rounds that's my opinion. "
"And It's ' mine too , said Richard K. Fox ,
McAuliffe's backer , who , althojgh consider
ably a loser by the affair , seemed disposed to
make the best of It. "Still I bcllevo In giv-
1 ingcvcrjbody his duo and am quite prepared
to admit that the fight was fought faiily and
that the best man won. It's reilly too bad ,
though , for Australia to bo in possession , as

light-weight cnampionshlps of the woilJ. "

Held , American minister , for n reciprocity ar
rangement between franco and the United
States , has summarily settled the project of
Count ICalnoky , Austio-IIungarinn prime
minister , for combined reprisals against tlio
United States In retaliation for the McKlnlcy
tariff bill. Emperor \Vllltara never
entertained the Idea ot reprisals.
Chancellor von Oiprlvl appears to ha\o \
dallied with the project until the emperor's '
return from the manoeuvres , when the sug
gestion of the sernl-oftlclal press hero and In
"Vienna for a customs coalition suddenly
ceased. Chancellor Von Capilvl had a con
ference with Herr Miguel and accepted his
scheme to lessen the cost of living to tlio
masses by higher Imports on the monlcd
classes , the principle Involving the early re-
oponlngof the German market to American
pork. The oftlcl.il Impression hcic Is tint
Minister Phelps'overtures for a settlement ,
If renewed , backed by some easy conces
sions on German exports to the United
Statesvlll find ready responses
from the chancellor. Advices from Vienna
indicate that the Austrhn government also
accepts the principle of reciprocity , Count
Kalnolty luting Instructed the Austrian
minister at WashlNgtonto make representa
tions in the matter of pearl and other Aus-
tiian industiles affected by the McKinley
bill , xvith aiow to the negotiation of a
tieaty.
Herr Miguel's financial statements have
also decisively influenced military reforms
and led to thoretiiemcntof General Du Tcr-
nol from the war ministry and the profTeied
resignation ot Count "VoiValdcrsec , who
had urged the a Joptlou of Schamhorst's plan
for reorganization of the array , imolvinga
heavy Increase in the -war budget. Despite
the popularity of Scharnhost's scheme in mil
itary chcles the chancellor lias thrown the
whole weight of his influence against adding
to the war buditet. The emperor's definite
amirotal of Miguel's ' ideas muilo the retire
ment of Vernois and Walderseo ineUtable.

Lord Iloscbcrry and Count Herbert Bis

where Lord Roscbcny has been sojourning
lor several days. Ho obtained from l rinco
Bismarck a promise tlat ho would visit
Scotland in the spilng If the political situa
tion peimltted.
In letters to several members of thehcr-
iCubans Bismarck states his intention to
attend all debated on quonions of national
importance.
The Breslaner Zcltung , in its report of on
interview -with the ex-thancellor , made him
say that ho Is still vice president of the
staatsrath. Semiofficial communications in
.the PITSS afliimthat theofllcclnqueitionwas
held by virtue of his ofllcinl functions and
that it ceased on the day his icsignatlon from
the chancellor was accepted. Tlio point de
batable Is whether Bismarck's honorary iank
qualifies him for the staatsrath.
The recent scandals in\olving members of
the aristocracy are gravely discussed by the
press and are the theme of guarded pulpit al
lusions. The ICreuz Zeitung mourns thede-
oncc of the nobility and warns Its mem
bers that they must lead a better life if
they do not wish to provoke the
masses tp revolution , The Germanla ,
on the other hand , protests against charging
the aristocracy with general conniption , hold
ing that only those are corrupt whoso ma
terialistic conceptions have destrojcd their
moral consciousness. The Uelchsbato at
tributes Iho moral decay of the nobility to
much money , no seiiouswork ,
no moral dlsiiplinc , gross living
and dcp rated company. It invokes
the aiistocracy leaders to combine to purify
society and to exercise strictcrcontrol of their
families.
The emperor has ordered that n report be

and Indefinite language. The last general
decree on the subject , in 1SS5. came from the
general conference nnd asserted that the
Mormons could notyioldthc doctrlnoof plu
ral marriage to legislative or Judicial do-

the clause that because'certain laws have

of the law against unlawful cohabitation ,
which has also been afllwicd bv the supreme

most of the convictions ate made : that It In
no wise asserts polygamy Is vrongortholaw

Dr. Wcltord in the statement
that rigor mortis would set in so soon as
stated. Ho thought it would not set la sooner
than from eight to ton. hours. As to the
testimony concerning the bruises described
he thought that a body falling after a pistol
shot could not produce them. Such bruises
must have been rcceived'from fwpto three
days before death. Wlviess was examined at

Mr. McMillan protested against n lltnltn-
tlon being put upon the discussion , but sup-
gested that if such n limitation v ere innda
the hour should bo fixed at 0 o'clock.
Mr. MeKinloy acquiesced nnd nslccil for
consent t hut the pluvious motion bo ordered
nt that hour
To this Mr McMillan objected , whereupon
Mr. McKlnlcy gave notlco Hint ho would de
mand the previous question atr : ! JO.
Mr. McKlnlcy explained tlio provisions of
the conference report. In regard to binding
twine , ho expressed the opinion that the duty
mis too low , but indulged In the hope that
some future congress would apply n remedy.
Commenting upon Iho reciprocity provision ,
ho said' ' 'Wo consented to the reciprocity
provision put into our bill by the senate , a
provision perfectly well understood liy both
sides of the liouso. Wo Imvo accepted tha
nmcnumcnt ( known as the Aldrlch amend
ment ) nnd Indulge In the hope that in nc-
cordanco with the expectation and belief ot
so many distinguished men all over the
country , this will enable us to open up great
llelds for the products of our farms.Vo ac
cepted this amendment in the hope that such
u result would bo fully ic.rllzcd. "
Mr. Flower of N'evv York characterized
this measure us u cyclone bill , The point of
the 1)111 was to so arrange It that there should
bo no trade between the United States and
foreign countries. It would en able rnanu-
fnctuiers to combine and fleece tlio people ,
while the funnels would fail to 11 nd
relief. Kefm-ing to the subject ot binding
t\\inc , tie said that whllo the gentleman
\\ould expatiate In the west upon the pro-
\ ision us being In l.ivor of the farmers ot the
west , It would ruin ' . . ' 00,000 working incu ia
New York und New England.

Mr. McMillan of Tennessee said tuo bill
agreed to increased by 1 tlio tax paid by
every Caucasian , ne io , mini , woman nnd
child in the land. Tbo reciprocity provision
was a cowardly surrender of the highest
prerogative of the house. The bill gave the
president n power not exerclied by the czar
of Kussln.
Mr. MeKInlcy then made the closing
speech In advocacy of the bill. It was not ,
he said , a bill of retaliation or diplomacy.
It was a bill for the pconlo of the United
States , to supply thorn with the necessary
revenue to meet current expenses. The
committee had so discriminated in the adjust *
monfc of the tariff as to give protection to our
people , defense to their Industries ntid com1-
pensntion to make up the difference between
tbo prices paid for labor In Kuropeaji coun
tries und the United Statei , for It was the
pride of this country that It paid more nnd
better wages to its workmen thmi was paid
any where clso on the face ot God's earth.
And it was enabled to do it because the re
publican party ( and the old whig party be
fore It ) has given its promise that It would
Impose a tariff on products that came Into
competition with our own labor , our own
soil , or our own crop ? . The fututonlono
\\ouldvindicatoorcondeinti \ this * bill. The
words of the gentleman from Tennessee or
other gentlemen wcro only the words of the
press of England or the press ot other coun
tries. On this question , in opposition to this
bill , Great , Uritnin nnd the democratic party
wcro la an unholy alliance. [ .Applause on
the republican sldo. ] The gentlemen oa the
other side hud said that the bill 'would not
Increasetlio demand for a single grain of
wheat , bushel of corn or pound of meat.
They forgot that when the bill became a
l.iw and the now Industry of manufacturing
our tin is established employment will bo
furnished to a lui go number of men , which
would mean the suppoit of DO.OOO people , and
thcso 50,000 people would bo new consumers
and thereby create a demand for the products
of the farmers of the west. Already they
had begun making tin plato In St , Louis in
anticipation of the bill , in the belief that It
was to pass. Men \\ero ready to invest
money In this enterprise nnd Instead of payIng -
Ing $15,000,000 or i > 0,000,000 , tto outsiders for
tin wo propose to inaho it at homo. This
bill , if it became a law. would nut upon the
free list one-hulf of all the products which
the United States Imported , the like of which
was never known In any tarilt bill passed by
ocongiess of the United States. The gen
tlemen on the other sldo would tax the people
ple of this country to muko an income for the
government. The republican party would
tax the products of other pcoplo seeking mar
kets in the Lnitcd States.
