DALLAS, Tex., July 16.—The adverse opinion of Attorney General Crane to the legality of the Corhett-Fitzsimmons con- test created no surprise at the fight head- quarters. It will be claimed that the li- cense law requiring the payment, of $500 has never been repealed. Manager Dan Stuart is going ahead with his preparatién for the fight. Bids are all in for the erec- tion of the great Texas Coliseum. The contract will be let to the lowest responsi- ble bidder, and in a few days the ground will be staked and operations begun. Joe Vendig telegraphed Dan Stuart from New York today that the articles were signed for a fight between O'Donnell and Maher, heavy weights, and Dixon and Plimmer, light weights, to take place in Dal- las in the Coliseum November 1, the day efter the big mill. The club puts up $7,500 on the first and $5,000 on the second fight. This makes $52,500 the club will put up on the three fights. One ticket will be good for both fights the second day. The tickets will be sold for $5, $10 and $20. Authorities Will Oppose. AUSTIN, Tex., July 16.—Opinion In state official circles here today unmistakably in- dicates that under no circumstances will the letter and spirit of Attorney -General Crane's opinion be departed from, and it is certain the pugilists will not be permitted to fight in Texas. The authorities in their stand are strongly backed by the moral sentiment of the state. Can Fight on a Boat. The Ann Arbor railroad officials at To- ledo, Ohio, have assented to a proposition made by Toledo spcrting men to allow the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fistic encounter to take place on their two big transfer boats used for ferrying loaded trains across Lake Michigan.

From the American Architect and Building News. For the benefit of those persons who are about to risk theirslives by drinking well water at crowded summer resorts, we will recall the well-known fact that a small dose of alum added to doubtful water has a very purifying effect. Rarticularly against the germs of typhoid fever, the most dreaded contamination of country water supplies, alum is very ef- fectual. Prof. Leeds recently made a care- ful study of this method of sterilizing water. He added one-half gramme (about eight grains) to a gallon of water swarm- ing with bacteria. This proportion of alum is far too small to impart any taste to the water, or to exercise any harmful effect to the system, but after a short time, a little of the water was taken, equal to a quantity which, before adding the alum, had shown, urder the microscope, more than 8,000 colonies of bacteria, and was found to contain only eighty colonies. By filtration through double filter paper this small remnant of animation was re- moved, and the water came through as clear and free from germs as if it had been sterilized by boiling. There is so little diffi- culty about applying this simple germicide that every one should know about it. We are informed, on the high authority of the Massachusetts board of health, that well water, however clear in appearance, should always be presumed to be polluted, and, in the majority of cases is so, while typhoid fever is almost endemic at many pleasure resorts, particularly at the seashore. To have one’s drinking water boiled and cool- ed is practically impossible at a hotel or boarding house; but any one can carry a little box of powdered alum in his pocket, and drop a few particles in his tumbler before drinking, and it seems likely that many lives might be saved by the prac- tice. < ———— Australian Tariff Changes. United States Consul General Maratta at Melbourne has transmitted to the Depart- ment of State a list of a number of altera-*| tions proposed to be made in the tariff of Victoria, as the result of the work of a special board, the findings of which were revised by the government. The subject is now before the parliament of the colony. Among the more importent changes made in the schedules are the following: Horses, free, formerly £2 10 shillings per head; wool apparel, 45 per cent; formerly 50 per cent; Irdia rubber and cotton belting, 20 per cent, formerly free; blankets, 15 per cent, fermerly free; carriages, £8, formerly £10; bicycles, 10 per cent, formerly 25 per cent; portable engines, 15 per cent, formerly 25 per cent; agricultural implements, 15 per cent, formerly 20; manufacturers of metal, 30 per cent, formerly 35; machine tools, 20 per cent, formerly 385; pitch, 25 per cent, formerly free; spirits, 13 shillings per gal- lon, formerly 15 shillings; watches, 15 per cent, formerly, 20. ++ A Robbery in West Virginia.

Father Kenefick’s Serious Tiness in This City—Other,Lgcal Notes of Genergl Interest. The boerd of police Commissioners, with Acting Mayor Snowden in the chair, held a meeting in the mayor’s office last night for the purpose of receiving the applications of candidates for membership on the police force. Secretary Tacket has received a large numbe. of applications, and there is an abundarce of ~xcellent material to pick from. The beard sypplicd themselves with the records-of the entire force from 1891 to date, and it is more than probable that those men whose records are clean will be re-elected to the positions they now hold and that the present very efficient officers will be re-ciected. The fact that the election of policemen has been taken out of the hands of the city council and placed i the hands of five commissioners takes pvlitics out of the question, anc will make it possible to have a more efficient force than ever before. The commissioners will hold a meeting in the board cf aldermen chambers tonight, at which time the entire force, will be elected. Father Kenefick’s Iiness. Father Kenefick of Fredericksburg, who was formirly assistant pastor of St! Mary's Church in this city, is dangerously ill at Providenée Hospital in Washington, and there is but slight hope of his recovery. No ons ts allowed to see him. His illness is supposed to be caused by worry over having to leave his charge in this city, to which he was much attached. "Father Kenefick was very popular while here, and, as stated in The Star, the m&mbers of this congregation went to Richmond several weeks ago and made streruous efforts to |. get Bishop Van De Viver to allow him to remain in this city. Father Kenefick’s ill- ness causes great regret throughout the en- ire city. her Kerefick was en route.to George- Sollege to spend the week in retreat taken ill on the boat from Nor- folk, where he bad been on a visit. Police Court. Acting Mayor Snowden dispcsed of the following cases in the police court this morning: Frank Entwisle, charged with be- ing drunk in the street, was given ten days in jqil to sober up; Joseph Gilmarten, charged with being drunk and disorderly, was fined $2.50 and costs; Frank Dorsey, ckarged with being a suspicious character, was dismissed, with # reprimand; , John Branton, charsed with disorderly conduct ‘Bnd fighting, was fined $5; Margie Pendle- ton, on the same charge, was dismissed, the charge not being sustained; Walter Vincent and James Davis, alias “Gurley Griffin,” charged with breaking into the house of Charies Knoxville, were dismiss- ed; Hiram Johnson, refusing to work in the chain gang, put on a bread and water diet.

The Ex-Premier of Bulgaria Stabbed in the Street in Sofia. M. Stambouioff, ex-premier of Bulgaria, was returning home last night from the Unio Club, at Sofia, accompanied by a colleague, M. Petcoff, when they were at- tacked by four persons armed with re- volvers and knives. M. Stambouloff re- ceived several wounds in the head and lost @ quantity of blood. His condition is se- rious. The assailants attacked the car- riage, “compelling the coachman to stop. M. Stambouloff's servant fired his revolver, but missed the mark. M. Stambouloft jumped cut and received immediately a cut which almost severed his hand from the M. Stamboulof then tried to es- but was followed and stabbed in the head and received a revolver shot, when he fell to the ground, where his assailants continued their stabs, badly wounding his other hand. M. Petcoff, running to his as- sistance, was also stabbed. M. Petcoff de- clares that he saw gendarmes running away as well as the assailants. M. Stam- bouloff was taken to his house and was Jaid upon a sofa. While surrounded by his Political friends the chiefs of police wanted to enter the house, but the wounded states- man’s wife sternly forbade them to do so and accused them of complicity in the crime. She told them to search for the cul- prits. Several arrests have been made. There is great indignation felt in Sofia. It is remarked now that a large number of government newspaper orzans, including the Mir, violentiy attacked M. Stambouloft, accusing him of being a foreign spy. The outrage is believed to be the personal vengeance of persons who suffered during his regime as premier. A dispatch to the London Times from Sofia says that both of M. Stambouloff's hands have been amputated. One of his assailants was wounded. Stambuloff has several times narrowly es- cared assassination. He was once shot at by @ young girl in revenge for the execu- tion of Major Paniza, for which he, as premier, was held regponsible. Another time he was stoned for an alleged insult to Prince Ferdinand. In 18$4 Stambuloff first came into the public eye as president of the Sobranje. After the kidnaping of Prince Alexander he was the highest in authority in Bulgaria, ruling with an fron hand. He did much for his countty, but made many enemies. Last year he resigned. Rumor says Prince Ferdinand ferced kim to do so. He was arrested last Jgnuary at the insti- gation of a unionist orgdn on a charge of being the assassin in 1891 of M. Beltcheff, then minister of finance. ——_+e-. The Trade of Mormosa. Consul General Jernigan at Shanghal, China, sends to the State Department a re- port on the trade of Tamout, the principal port of the island of Formosa. He says that as the {sland has tidw become a part of Japan it will be more largely developed. Formosa is rich in resources. Attention ts called to the fact that the kerosene oll trade of the United States with Formosa nearly doubled in the past year, @nd that most of the tea of Formosa is consumed in the United States. The report on trade ‘transmitted by the consul general is made by H. B. Morse, act- ing commissioner of customs of Formosa. He says the increase of trade in 1804 over 1893 Was 34 per cent. Mr. Morse thinks that much of the increased value comes from the enhanced silver cost of goods, which must be paid for in gold. In cotton gcods there was an increase of all kinds. Mr. Jernigan says Japan furnishes Formo- sa with a great deal of her cotton goods. He calls attention to the necessity of busi- ness men of the United States making an effort to feed the looms of Japan with cot- ton, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.

An additional charge was placed against McCarthy at the station, that of carrying concealed weapons. razor was found upon the fellow. ——___ RAILROAD OWNERSHIP. A Representative of the Norway Gov= ernment Studying Our System. Ficm the Chicazo Record. The government of Norway is taking notes on American railroad systems in the person of its representative, C. L. Ander- son, auditor general of the railroads of that country.” Mr. Anderson has now spent a week in Chicago. “My expectations cf America have been greatly surpassed by what I have seen during my short visit, he, said yesterday, “‘and in no respect mo: than that of the railway systems in this country. Especially, did I désire to see the system of azcounts used by American ratl- roads, as that touches my department di- rectly. I find that the mode of keeping ac- counts is very similar, but that statistics ‘ace condensed to a much greater degree than in Norway, enabling any person to unde.-tand the condition of the roads. This is a feature which I shall try to have in- troduced in my own department. The Nor- wegian government controls all the rail- way lines in Norway, and the system is a success. There are some thousand miles of railroads, with clever divisions, but as several systems often use the same road bed we have mare miles of road in the ag- gregate than that figure might indicate. The longest run that can be made is about 600 miles. There are three classes of pas- Senger accommodations, with a maximum rate a mile of what would equal 2% cent: Freight tariffs are in twelve classes. We have adopted coaches like those in Amer- . except that they are shorter. On the is much pleasanter. to travel in America than in Norway. “As to the question of the benefits of governmental contro! of roads and its feas- ibility in th's country, I cannot say much that is definite. Considering the systems of Norway and America as they are, it seems to me that here the roads are man- &ged more as 2 man would manage his pr vate business, for his own best interest and that of the public, which is the same thing, with a railroad. I regard the fixing of the tariffs by the government as a pub- lic benefit. It makes them uniform and stable; not subject to the cuts which are so common in this country. T have a great dowht ff cut rates really aid business and traffic, and do not disturb them. ‘The more + hand, has disadvantages. It is hard for the ra’ roads in Norway to satisfy the people in their demands for changes when conditions vary and make change necessary. There can be no change in rates there unless the matter is submitted to the department, and it usually takes three months before anything is accomplished. The railway in- dustry of tne United States is so stupen- dous that there m'ght be some question about the advisability of governmental control. The people might not get such quick and good service with the red tape of riment to be gore through with. | Competition has made the great rail- roads of this country. The fine accom- modations afe the result of competition. Ard now I think the railroads are being brought by their competition to a uni- formity in rates and service, a sort of de- fense against themselves which will do much good. Still, if the government of the United States could manage the railroads without a loss to itself, I think it ought to obtain the control. The roads in Norway pay dividends @s high as 7 per cent in some branches, and I think, altogether, there is @ profit.’ Going to Try Arizo W. A.

The South Australian government alone had taken a stand on the question, and its attitude was decidedly hostile to the cable project. . ‘The objection is raised that statistics on a cable are incomplete and unsatisfactory, and that a cable touching only British soil is a somewhat Quixotic proposition, . not likely to prove acceptable to the commer- cial world. —_—___—_-e-_____ The Fatal Stray Bullet.
