Tactic * .
ST. LOUIS , Nov. 26. Eddie Connolly of
St. Johns. N. B. , made George Kerwln , the
"Mystery" of Chicago , fight the battle of his ,
life tonight before the Commercial club. At J
the end of twenty rounds Rcterco Tim
Hurst called the contest a draw. The do-
cl3lo.ii was received with satisfaction. Connolly
nelly cut out the pace. Kerwln appeared to
bo wild and at the end ot the first round
Connolly , who had never seen Kerwln go
before , etcod and looked at his opppnent In
amazement.
In the second round Kcrwln cut out the
pace nnd Connolly contented himself with
countering. Ho .was evidently trying to .
solve Kerwln. In the third round Kerwln |
started out and with a straight loft opened
f. cut over Connolly's left eye. The blood
from the wound bothered Connolly con-
Bl.lt-rably throughout the remainder of ths
contest.
The fourth round was even. In the fifth
, and sixth Connolly had the beat of It and In
the suventh the men broke even. The eighth
round was Connolly's. In the tenth round
Kddio started Kerwln going with a left
cross on the Jaw. He rushed Kerwln to the
ropeo , landing with right nnd left swings ,
trvlne hard to end the contest there. Keri
win , however , managed to get Inside of the
swings nd saved himself. The eleventh
round wtnt to Connolly. Kcrwln landed a
left swing on Connolly's Jaw In the twelfth
\ .round which dazed the latter.
In the thirteenth to the twentieth rounds
the men broke even. In the twentieth , how
ever , Connolly mixed things considerably
'and ' bad a shade the better ot it.
Eddlo Santry of Chicago stopped "Aus-
trallan Billy" Murphy In the third round of
what was to have been a fifteen-round con
test. A right nnd left swing on the Jaw and
a straight left on the stomach did the work.
Al Nlest of St. Loula was given the de
cision over Johnny Van Heest of Duluth at
the end of ten rounds.

OinCAGO , Nov. 26. Sammy Harris of
Chicago was given the decision tonight
over Casper Leon of New York at the end
of six-round bout In the gymnasium of
the Chicago Athletic club. Harris Is a
young brother of "Kid" Harris nnd tonight
was his tlrst fight before a club of Impor
tance. In the first two rounds Loons
cleverness wns a trifle too much for Harris ,
but the youngster was cool and plucky and
by the end of the fourth round he had
Leon very tired. The last two rounds were
all in favor of Harris , who kept Leon s
head bobbing back nnd forth wth ( straight
left leads. He fought Leon to a standstill
In the sixth nnd landed five times to one by
Leon. Nobody expected Harris to win.
owing to his youth and Inexperience , and
his cPe-an-cut victory over such an npponent
an Lon set the crowd wild. Both weighed
107 pounds.

Is that as the refcrea gave an award on the
decision of the stakes bets naturally go

Sir Claude Champion do Cresplgny , next
to Quccnshcrry the bsst qualified authority
in England on the question , says : "I con

on Corbott's side. If the contest was under
my friend Que.-nsbsrry's rules the correct
ness of the referee's decision can h * easily
ascertained , as they provMo for all emer-

bo closely watched for signs of fever. The
remainder of the passengers will be sent to
the Lazaretto , where they will undergo ob
servation and Inter wlll , be liberated. The
ship will bo fumigated and tbo cargo dis
charged.- THe chief surgeon considers those
methods adequate for the protection of the

GOVERNMENT FOR HAWAII
Senator Cnllom Prepnrtiijr HI" Report
Modification of Unual Terri
torial ForniH.
CHICAGO. Nov. 20. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says : Senator
Cullom Is preparing the report of the
Hawaiian commission nnd will submit It to
the president for transmission to congress
so that It will bo ready at the opening of
the session. The senator declines to give
details as to the character of the report ,
but from other sources It was learned thai
the report as finally drafted will provide
for a partial contlnuance'of tbo present gov
ernment In the Islands under direct federal
supervision. There will be a senate ol
fifteen members and a house of double thai
number , which Is an Increase on the preseni
house membership of Hawaii. There wll
be a graded qualification on the suffrage
Members of the house may bo elected by
voters who pass an educational test alone
while members of the senate will be chosen
by voters possessing both educational ani !
property qualifications. There Is now a
property qualification for voting In Hawaii
but the proposed form of government will
reduce this somewhat so as to furnish an
Inducement for small holdings. There wll
be educational and property restrictions in
regard to holding office , the qualifications for
which will be closely defined.
There will be no "open door" In Hawaii
The tariff laws ot the United States wll
be extended to the Islands without altera
tion because Hawaii was formally annexet
to the United States by a statute law and any
other course would unquestionably be op
posed by the supreme court. The present
supreme court of the Islands , whose menu
bers hold their places for life , is to be con
tinued and to be given Jurisdiction of loca
laws , whose force will also be continued as
far as possible , as they have been taken by
law from the statute books of dlffereu
states fn the union , and are , as a whole
quite acceptable.
The Immigration , labor and general elec
tion laws ot the United States will be
specifically extended to-the Islands. These
will keep out further Inroad ) ot coolies
The Islands will be given a delegate in the
house of representatives , who will have no
vote , but will have the same privileges as
the representatives of Arizona , New Mexico
and Oklahoma. The governor and some o
the higher territorial officers will bo ap
pointed by the president. The legislature
will have considerable control over local
taxation and expenditures , but the restric
tion of the suffrage on educational and
property lines will ot course reduce the
number of voters to a point relatively far
below the present organized territories.
PUGILIST ISJ-ATALLY HURT
Paralyzed from Hlovr Given
by Jack Itoot In a
1'rlse
LOUIS VI LLI3. Nov. 2G. Tom Lansing , the
well known middleweight pugilist , who until
i recently assisted In tialnlng Corbctt , Is lying
' critically 111 at his home In this city as a
I result of a terrific blow on the back of the
. heed by Jack Root In their recent fight In
1 Chicago. Lansing Is almost entirely
I paralyzed and today Is barely able to speak.
He can move only a few portions of his
body. His physician thinks from what he
can learn from Lansing that the terrific
i blow he received on the head from Root , and
which felled him , causing him to strike his
head upon the floor with great violence , has
caused the formation of a blood clot upon
the brain. Dr. Mclntyre , his physician , says
. the chances of Lansing's recovery are alight.

ONLY DEMOCRATS ON GUARD 1
Motto Adopted by the State House Machine
for Future Appointments ,
RECOGNITION OF OLDHAM THE STARTER
Ilonrlionn Prenarlnn ( o Devour Their
Late AsunclntFH In Politic * Cap-
tnln Anhhy Come * Kortrnrd
irlth n Novel Conteit.
LINCOLN , Nov. 26. ( Special. ) In the
appointment of W. D. Oldham as deputy at
torney general , the populist party ot the
state receives a elap In the face , accom
panied by a reminder that hereafter nobody
but simon-pure democrats are to bo recI I
ognlzed by the political machine of the
state. Oldham is ono of the rock-ribbed
sort ot democrats who has never taken up
with the fusion Idea. At the beginning ot
the present campaign he was so unalterably
opposed to fusion or to any recognition of
the populist party that ho decided to sup
port the republican ticket and made somu
overtures looking toward taking the stump |
lor the republicans. He stood out against
local fusion In Buffalo county and was one
ot the forces that prevented the democrats
of that county from endorsing the popu
list nominees for the legislature. Late In
the campaign Oldham was made to see that ,
the best way for the democratic party to
wlpo out the populist party and at the eamo
time to gather its members Into the dcm-
oeratlc , fold was to appear to Join with
them In this last trial of fusion. This In
duced him to line up with his brethren and
make some speeches during the last days ot
the campaign. The promise of an appoint
ment under the only democratic statesman
In the state house may have had something
to do with Inducing him to throw his weight
Into the campaign.
Content * on Novel Ground * .
W. E. Chlttenden , one of the republican
members-elect to the leglslatuie from O.igo
county , has an odd contest case on his hands.
His principal opponent In the race was
Captain W. H. Ashby of Beatrice , who fell
short about SOOotes tn the election ,
Ashby has Just served notice on Chlttenden
that he will contest on the grounds that
at the time Chlttenden claims to have been
elected to the legislature ho was already
holding a lucrative office under the state of
Nebraska , having been a member ot the last
session ot the legislature and his term ot
office not yet having expired. Ashby main
tains that under the constitution a man
holding such an olfies cannot legally bo
elected until after the term has expired an 1
gives notice of an early date when ho will
begin to take testimony on this point. The
question raised by Ashby Is one ot Interest
to all second-term members and Is a point
never before raised In this state. If Ashby
should be successful In a suit of this char
acter In the future the only way a man
could stand for re-election to the legislature
would bo to resign from the office before
taking the new nomination. The case Is not
regarded seriously , however , and It Is quite
probable that Chlttenden will decline to
take notice of any hearing or testimony
that Ashby can produce. He can rely oa
precedents as old as the federal constitu
tion.
Irael Again * ! Benjamin.
The case which Is being brought out in the
extreme' southwest corner of the state is
based on more reasonable grounds. Judge
Israel , the republican candidate for the
legislature , was defeated by two votes and
after a careful survey of the situation In the
various counties of the district and the In
vestigation of a number of cases where
there waa a doubtful manipulation of the
count Israel has concluded to go Into a con
test , have the ballots recounted and see It
he was not honestly elected. It Is said that
he has found where at least twenty of hia
votes were thrown out when they should
have been counted and he Is confident that
a fair count will glvehtm the seat in the
legislature. The case will be watched with
much Interest by the whole state and the
hope Is generally expressed that the parti
sanship of the people in that locality will
not be allowed to Interfere with the matter
In such a manner as to destroy the Integrity
ot the ballot In the district.
A prominent populist politician from Col-
fax county was In the city today and waa
heard to say that the next session of the
legislature would decide the future of the
populist party. He said that If the repub
licans went Into the session In a business
like way , cut down expenses wherever cof-
slstent , passed only such laws as are really
demanded and closed up the work and went
Iiomo at the end of the sixty days they
would hold the future of the state In their
own hands. Ho intimated that such a
course , coupled with Judicious action In the
selection of a United States senator , would
Induce the rank and file of the populist
party to come back to the republicans. U
Is his idea that the fusion party would not
have profited In the election In case a full
vote had been got out , as most ot those who
staid at home were populists who are tired
of the sham reform and were not quite
ready to vote the republican ticket. Ha
thought a majority of the stay-at-homes
would not ha\e voted the fusion ticket It
they could have been Induced to go to the
polls , hut that wise action on the part of
the republicans this winter would bring al
most nil of them over.

HASTINGS. Neb. , Nov. 26. ( Special. )
It Is said that there Is a scheme under way
In this city In the Interest of Dr. Stcele , the
present assistant physician , who desires to

officials , arc quietly circulating a petition
asking the governor-elect to make the ap-
polntraent. It Is also said that Dr. Swlgart

Steele gets to bo superintendent. Dr.
Damerall , the present superintendent , has
