A cablegram to the Times-Union from Key West says: Private advices to this city state that the insurgents under the command of Antonio Maceo are in posses sion of the entire east end of the island, except the town of Santiago de Cuba, and have levied taxes on all the farmers in that district. At the battle of Manzanillo on June 24 the insurgentsunder the command of Amador Guerrera were routed with con- siderable loss, the Spanish loss heing six killed. Itis rumored that Amador Guer- rera was killed, but the rumor is not con- firmed. ported in Havana that several ex- iti are being fitted out at Costa Rica Mexican ports. The Spanish gun- boats are ordered to keep a sharp lookout for them. A band of 100 under command of Ma- chado in the Las Villas district has joined the insurgents. STUNG BY A REBUKE. General Lachambre of the Spanish Army Commits Suicide in Cuba. NEW ‘YORK, N. Y., July 7.—A dis- patch to the Recorder from Santiago de Cuba, says: A report has reached here to the effect that General Lachambre has shot himself. General Lachambre was recently called be- fore Governor-General Martinez Campos and warned by him that should he not be- come more moderate in habits he would be sent back to Spain in disgrace. General | Lachambre left for the field with a division of Spanish troops, but the warning did not seem to improve his habits. Thé Governor-General’s reason for warning Lachambre is that he isa despotic man, and when under the influence of liquor might enact some cruel butcheries. Another report has it that General Lachambre had been shot, his wound be- ing a serious one. The report of suicide, is, however, generally believed to be true. FGHT FOR LONER MATES Nebraska’s Attempt to Regu- late the Tariffs on Freight. An Appeal to the Supreme Court to Dissolve Judge Dundy’s Injunction. OMAHA, NEBR, July 7.—The maximum ht-rate case has been appealed to the United States Supreme Court, the papers being now on their way to Washington. This is the most remarkable and impor- tant case in the courts of this State for years. As an outcome of the fight for lower freight rates, the Populist Legisla- ture passed in 1891 a maximum freight-rate Jaw, making a radical cut in the rates on freights in this State. Governor Boyd vetoed this law, which act, it is said, led to his political retirement. The Legislature of 1893 passed a law similar to the previous law, except that the reductions were not nearly so great, It was signed by Governor Crounze, but it never went into operation; it was sus- pended by a temporary injunction issued vy Judge Dundy of the United States Dis- trict Court. The State asked that this in- junction be dissolved, on the ground that the rates were not too low, and that the Supreme Court of the State was the proper tribunal. Supreme Court Justice Brewer sat with Judge Dundy last June, hearing the arguments, and their decision made the temporary injunction permanent, on the ground that the rates were too low. The case was then taken to the United States Circmt Court of Appeals, but it was recently decided that this court did not possess the %ower to try it, and it has thus gone to the United States Supreme Court. The struggle over this law has been the most interesting and important feature of Nebraska legislation and politics for twenty years, ADORESSED BY CORRIGA Impressive Ceremonies at the Opening of the Catholic Summer School. Thousands Unable to Galn Admis- sion to the Dedicatory Ser- vices. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., July 7.—The formal opening of the Catholic Summer School of America took place in St. John’s Church here to-day. The vast edifice was crowded, 2000 or more people being pres- ent and thousands were unable to gain ad- mittance. It was the greatest church demonstration ever witnessed in_this part of the country. Special trains brougml large number from the Adirondacks and nearly the whole State of Vermont came by boat. Pontifical high mass was celebrated by Archbishop Corrigan with Mgr. Sariey of New York, assistant; V. Rev. Fred- erick Wayrich, Brooklyn, and Rev. Mr. Gerard, Provinciul of the Oblates, deacons of honor; Rev. W. H. O'Connell, deacon; Rev. W. J. B. Daly, sub-deacon; Rev. R. M. Pierce, deacon of the cross; Rev.J. H. McMahon of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, master of ceremonies, and W. 8. Me- Laughlin as the master. At the conclusion of the mass Most Rey. M. A. Corrigan, Archbishop of New York, ascended; the pulpit and preached the opening sermon. EDUCATORS AT DENYV. R. Sunday Spent in dighiseeing and ZTrips to the Mountains. DENVER, Coxo., July 7.—The delegates to the Nationa! Educational Association spent the day in sightseeing, the greater portion of them making trips to the mount- ains or to some of the favorite resorts. About 3000 visited Manitou and Pikes Peak. The arrivals here during the day swelled the number in attendance to about 7000, and the total number to be here at the general convention, which opens Tues- day, is now contidently fixed at about 12,- 000. An effort is being made by the members of the Colorado Scientitic Association to have a scientific department permanently added to the National Educational Asso- ciation, and the movement has the sup- port of the prominent scientists of the as- sociation. Duluth delegates are making a bid for the next conference, but there 13 a strong sentiment in favor of an Eastern city for the location and a Western man for presi- dent. N, C. Dougherty of Peoria, W. H, Bartholomew of Louisville, Ky., and Henry Sabin of Des Moines, lowa, seem to be the favorites. lrwin Shepard of Winona, Minn., it is claimed, will have no opposition for re-election to the office of secretary., B PLAINT OF THE STRIKERS. Charges of Fraud Against West Virginia Mine Operators. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., July 7.—James Lang, one of the striking miners, arrived here this morning and expressed a hope that there would be no need of the troops in that locality on account of the trouble and differences between the operators and men. The miners, he said, asked only for what was just. The operators had agreed to pay them 75 cents for each carload of | coal of two tons mined, but the cars had been increased in size to about four tons, with no increase in the coal-diggers' pay. The men then agreed to enter into a scale agreement of 35 cents a ton and have the coal weighed, but this the operators had declined to grant. The large number of miners put to work at Thacker, he said, were now ready to fnin the strikers, and he thought that un- ess an amicable settlement was entered into by all siaes by the 16th, trouble would be apt to ensue. CHARLESTOWN, W. Va., July 7.— Governor McCOorkle has been in receipt of several messages from the strike region to-day, all of which state that everything is quiet and there is no probability of trouble at present. BULLETS FLY AT A PICNIC Indiana Clans Settle a Re- ligious Feud of Long Standing. Women and Childred Are Trampled Upon in the Panlc That Ensues. CINCINNATI, Omnro, July 7.—The Tribune's Siberia (Ind.) special confirms the report of the German riot at that place Friday night. The trouble was the result of religious matters. William Geiss and Henry McKimberly had been enemies for years, Their enmity was brought about by a division of their church. McKimberl. had frequently threatened to kill Geiss and many fights have occurred between them and their friends. They had not seen each other for many months and when they met face to face they renewed immediately the old trouble. Geiss had many friends ~mong the picnickers and so had McKimberley. Both knew there was going to be trouble and each called upon his friends to help. McKimberly suddenly drew a revolver and before Geiss could get his weapon out the former fired several shots. Geiss was bit twice, and fell tothe ground. A friend ran upand handed him arifle. Hardly able to sit up, he took deliberate atm and fired at McKimberly. The latter fell, and soon became unconscious. In another minute the men in attend- ance were engaeed in_a riot. Ali kinds of weapons were used. Women and children fainted and were trampled upon. Many of them were badly bruised and some seri- ously injured. The riot continued until the eiss faction drove the triends of McKimberly from the scene. It took hours to get the injured and the women to their homes. The people are still greatly excited, and it will probably be some time before the matter is fully investigated by the author- ities. McKimberly is said to be dead. There have been no arrests, — SIDE DODRS ARE CLOSED. Roosevelt Rigidly Enforcing the Sunday Law in Gotham. Even in the Famous * Tenderloln " District and the Bowery Thirsts Remaln Unslaked. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—This city to-day had somewhat the appearance of a Maine prohibition town. There were less saloons doing business than on last Sun- day. Many of them, who had done a quiet business on previous Sundays, were closed to-day beyond all doubt. Many of the saloon proprietors had been impressed by the statement of President Roosevelt of the Police Department during the week past that the excise law would be strictly enforced on Sunday, and that any one caught violating it would be arrested. President Roosevelt has convinced the saloon-keepers that there would be no *‘bluff’”” in enforcing the law, so most of them decided not to take any chances, A few, however, kept oven to-day, but, ason last Sunday, they would not admit any one unknown to them, Heretofore on Sundays in the hotel cafes small plates of cheese and crackers were placed on every table, and anybody who presented a resgecuble appearance could take a seat, and by eating or pretending to eat some of the cheese and crackers could get whatever he called for to drink. This was changed to-day at all of the hotels. Patrons were handed a menu and required to order something to eat before anything to drink was :erves to them. The famous “Tenderloin District” was no exception to the “‘dryness” prevailing in other parts of the city, and the Bowery was particularly desertest In many churches to-day the mjnisters delivered sermons extolling the “crusade against the opening of the saloons on Sunday. Chicago Barbers Closed Yesterday. CHICAGO, Irvn., July 7.—The barber- shops here closed to-day, being the first Sunday in the history of Chicago that they have not been wide open. The doors of the Palmer House shop were locked, the first time since the place was opened. FEARS OSCAR'S ALLY. Norway Alarmed at the Attitude of the Kaiser. FETED AT STOCKHOLM. William’s Visit May Result in Delaying the Threatened Crisis. THE KIEL CANAL A FAILURE. Considered of Small Milltary Value Owing to Errors In Con- struction. BERLIN, GeruANY, July 7.—In his visit to Stockholm the Emperor is accompanied by Count von Eulenburg, the German Em- bassador to Vienna, who is his close con- fidant in matters pertaining to foreign affairs; Count von Goertz, Dr. Gussfeldt and Herr Kiderlin-Wachter. Among the others of his suite is a naval engineer, with whose assistance the Emperor is studying the newest type of warships. Count von Goertz has charge of the amusements which are provided on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, the special features of which are the dramatic performances given in the salon of the yacht under the personal direction of the Kaiser, whose intention is to assume the leading roles in pieces treating of Prussian history. Nevertheless, while the monarch is enter- taining others and being amused himself, he is also engaging in serious work. No- body now believes that his week’s sojourn in Stockholm is undertaken merely as a matter of pastime. The relations between King Oscar and the Storthing continue strained, and the Emperor’s timely visit to the Swedish capital may create such an impression on the Norwegians as to render them open to compromise. = The advices received from Christiania on Tuesday last gave promise of a speedy set- tlement of the difficulties, the Radical majority in the Norwegian Parliament voting the diplomatic and consular budg- ets apparently under the influence of a scare, but the thought of what will un- doubtealy happen if any part of the money thus voted shall be used to cover the ex- penses of the royal reception of the German Emperor at Stockholm vesterday and his entertainment throughout his stay, gives a darker aspect to the situation, the Storthing’s vote having explicitly stated that the budgets were carried under certain conditions, which stipulations are of a character rendering it almost impos- sible for Sweden to accept. The Emperor had a long conference with the King yesterday and afterward made a tour of the city, visiting the Northern Museum, accompanied by the Crown Prince. Later the Crown Prince and Crown Princess dined with the Emperor on board the Hohenzollern. The city was profusely decorated with flags and trium- phal arches. The Swedish cruiser Gefion and two torpedo-boats escorted the royal launch to the Hohenzollern and back to the stairway in front of the palace. Dur- ing the Emperor’s stay in Sweden he will pay a visit to Count Carl von Wedel, at his estate at Stora, in the vicinity of Stock- holm. This estate was acquired by the Count through his marriage to the wealthy and beautiful Swédish Countess von Platen, and since his retirement from the German diplomatic service the Count has resided there permanently. He is still a great favorite with the Emperor, and so is the Countess. The attempt to force the retirement of Baron von Hammerstein from the man- agement of the Kreuz Zeitung, and the actions for libel brought by Dr. von Beet- ticher against the Hamburger Nachrichten and the Berlin Zukunft, are promising gome rich revelations if high authorities do not speedily intervene. The conserva- tive committee, which was appointed to manage the affairs of the Kreuz Zeitung, expected that Baron von Hammerstein would vacate the editorship of the paper on July 1, and the trouble appeared to be over. Suddenly the baron announced that if he should be obliged to quit his post he would go to Switzerland and there puklish a pamphlet containing the full text of let- ters written to him by Baron von Man- teuffel, making disrespectful criticisms upon the Emperor’s public policy and at- tacks upon his private life. The letters bear dates covering the period when Baron von Manteuffel was an especial favorite of the Kaiser, and in them Manteuffel in- dulged in expensive confidences to Ham- merstein concerning the Emperor’s private acts and freely expressed his viewSin re- gard to the Kaiser's public policy. The committee succumbed to this threat and Hammerstein still remains in editorial command of the paper, but those who are in a’position to know are confident that the scandals are only temporarily smothered and that before a great while they will be revived with greater intensity than ever. Dr. von Beetticher’s actions relate to the charges which the defendant papers made that Von Beetticher had been guilty of privately communicating official secrets to the great banks with a view of assisting them in large operations on the Bourse. If the cases come into the courts the de- fense will contend that the charges are true, and evidence will be adduced which the opponents of Von Beetticher hope will result in his official extinction. Dr. von Beetticher has faced equally great dangers before, and has survived them. He is one of the Emperor’s henchmen, and while his Majesty may not esteem him any too highly, he finds him a good working Minis- ter and a capable administrator, who has brought the departments over which he presides (those of Minister of State and Imperial Secretary of State for the In- terior) to a high state of efficiency, besides | §10. having shown himself a most competent Vice-President of the Council of Ministers, In these circumstances, the Emperor may intervene insuch a way as to prevent the actions from being taken into the courts. The Cologne Gazette deems it advisable to treat seriously the question raised by Russia as to Germany’s exclusive right to levy tolls upon vessels passing through the Baltic Sea canal, ignoring the historic points concerning the Czar’s claim in Hol- stein. The paper argues that the law of nations distinguishes between the justice of tolls levied upon a naitural martime route like the Danish Sound, and tolls levied upon an artificial waterway con- structed at great expense and wholly situ- ated within the limits of a single State. The public is only feebly interested in the discussion of this question, but is actively concerned in the reports which are in cir- culation that the canal is destined to be a failure. v The Vossische Zeitung declares that if large merchant vessels cannot risk a pas- sage of the canal, it will be wholly useless as a means of rapidly uniting the Baltic and North Sea fleets, as warships will not be able to pass through unless the canal is decpened and widened. In the meantime, the military value of the canal will be very small. The National Zeitung beseeches the Gov- ernment to explain the conditions of affairs 4t once, and frankly avow the errors in the construction of the canal, rather than to allow the country to indulge in dangerous discussions. The Zeitung predicts that until the canal is enlarged at a heavy cost, it will never be able to pay its working ex- penses, The great mass of Berliners began their holidays on July1. The schools are all closed for the vacation season, and the city is fast being deserted. The exodus during the past week has been enormous, and the stream of travel has chiefly been directed toward the Balticand North seas, The rail- ways are now making a considerable redue- tion within the German borders, and have in this way been successful in diverting the annual stream of holiday travelers from Ttaly and Switzerland and directing it toward the north. The excessive heat which has prevailed throughout the week has added impetus to the general flight of holiday seekers. United States Embassador Runyon left on Thursday for Carlsbad, where he will drink the waters. From Carlsbad he will go to Switzerland. Secretary J. B. Jackson will be in charge of the embassy during Mr. Runyon’s absence, Professor Joynes of South Carolina is here studying the scientific institutes. Mrs. William Walter Phelps, widow of the former United States Minister to Germany, and Miss Boardman are the guests of Mrs. Phelps’ daughter, the Countess von Rottenburg, whose accouche- ment is expected within the month. The Rev. Mr. Owen will retire from the chaplaincy of the Church of 8t. George, in Berlin, next October and will join his son in Vancouver. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has promised Emperor William that he will be present at the review of the troops on | Tempelhoferfeld on Sedan day,September 1. Thisis regarded as an offset to the Russo-French demonstration at Kiel. Emperor William will also go to Rome on the occasion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the entry of the Italians into Rome on September 20, 1870. The Vorwaerts (socialist) asserts that | two journalists who were present at the Kiel fetes were arrested by the police at that place as pickpockets. The correspondent of The United Press at Buda-Pesth obtained an interview with Premier Banify yesterday. Baron Banffy, | in the course of the conversation, spoke of the political situation generally, and re- ferred especially to the recently enacted ecclesiastical laws, which, he said, would be strictly enforced. The correspondent asked the Premier, on behalf of the Hun- garian Literary Society of New York, if on the occasion of the Millersium celebration | in 1896, Hungarians in America who are unable to return to Hungary because of their not baving fulfilled their military duty, might not be amnestied. Baron Banffy said that the Emperor was a strict disciplinarian, and he (Banffy) of course, could not say what action his Majesty might take, He suggested, however, that, if the interested persons were to make proper application, amnesty might be granted to them within a certain limit, The accouchement of the Czarina is ex- pected at the end of Qctober. Prince Lobanoff-Restovsky, the Russian Ministér of Foreign Affairs, is going to Paris on July 25 to remain several days, From Paris he will go to Contrexeville fora course of the mineral waters, remaining there three weeks. His sojourn in France is believed to be connected with the pro- jected treaty of alliance between France | and Russia. Prince Lobanoff will return to Russia in September. Chancellor von Hohenlohe visited the Strasburg exhibition on Friday and from there went to Alt Aussee to join his family, with whom he will spend his holidays. The socialist Deputy, Herr yon Volimar, is steadily recovering from the brain dis- order from which he has suffered for some | time pest, but the doctors have ordered that he must have absolute rest for some time to come, and have positively forbid- den his resumption of work. REGISTERED AT TRE QUIRINAL. Marriage of the Duke of Aostato Helene of Orleans. ROME, Itavry, July 7.—The marriage of the Duke of Aosta, a nephew of King Humbert, and Princess Helene of Orleans, was solemnly registered at the Quirinal at 8 o’clock this afternoon. King Humbert, the Duke of Aosta, Queen Margherita and the royal Princes, nephews of the King, signed the register. The act of marriage was then read in Latin and Italian, after which delegates from both Houses of Parliament, the high state officials and the ladies of the court, were presented to Princess Helene. In the evening a grand banquet in honor of the bride and groom was given at the Quirinal, CLOSE OF CAMP HANCOCK. Prizes Awarded to the Successful Marks- men in the Contests. ST.

Alleges There Was a Conspi- racy to Keep Him Out of His Office. A FORMAL COMPLAINT MADE. The Chief of the Bureau and Chief Clerk of the State Department Involved. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—A World’s Washington special says: Charges of a most serious’ character have been filed against responsible officials of the State Department. The complainant is General Henry R. D. Mclver, appointed Consul to | Bpain by President Cleveland on Septem- ber 4, 1893. General Mclver is now in the city, having thrown up his commission in disgust and hastened from Denia to Wash- ington expressly to present his charges to President Cleveland. He unexpectedly found the President absent, but after tell- ing his story to Mr. Uhl, Acting Secretary of State, he was directed by Mr. Uhl to put his charges in writing, which he has done. General Mclver, who has tried to avoid publicity, was surprised to learn that the correspondent was aware that he had made formal charges against the Consular Bu- reau, and particularly the chief of the bu- reau, Walter E, Faison. Edward I. Ren- nick, the chief clerk of the department, is also involved. “It would not do for me,” said General Mclver, “to go into particulars as to what I have been obliged, as an American and as a man, to lay before Mr. Uhl. The proofs must be reserved for the official in- estigation. This is a very serious matter. ‘The wrongdoing is by officials of promi- nence in the State Department. The com- merecial interests of the country and the honor of the men engaged in the consular service are concerned. “I have been forced to conclude that cer- tain officials in the Consular Bureau in ‘Washington are in league for other than political reasons with certain American Consuls abroad. “I have here letters and documents which will prove all that I charge, and I shall not rest until I have exposed the rea- | son why certain Consulsare kept or songht | to be kept in office by the Consular Bureau here at Washington, and the reason why my letters to the State Department, con- | taining serious charpes, were suppressed in | that bureau and never answered because ! they went no further, “It will be clear why I, an old soldier bearing the commission of the President | of the United States, ratified by the United States Senate, found it necessary to resign the post. “As soon as my appointment was re- ceived by the Senate,” said the General to-day, “I appeared at the Btate Depart- ment to take the oath of office. “I had never seen Chief Faison of the | Oonsular bureau, nor had I ever heard of him. When I avpeared to take the oath | he said that I must first furnish my bonds. | This I bave learned was the first time the point had ever been raised. “When I reached my post I found that Consul McCrillis, a Republican, refused to allow me to take office, would not surren- der the Consulate or put me in possession of any of the records. “I showed my commission, but McCrillis raised the quibble that I must first get my exequatur from the Spanish Government before I could act as Consul. This he tried in every way possible to prevent my doing. “He told the local officials that I was a professional duellist, a brawler, and that I had fought against the Spanish in Cuba, and was therefore their enemy. It was urged by him that I had fought with Don Carlos, and was a soldier of fortune, utterly unfitted to be a consul. “I wrote to Minister Taylor and he called McCrillis to Madnid and probably repri- manded him, for Minister Taylor wrote to me that McCrillis had promised him to deliver the consulate to me. I asked Mr. McCrillis to do 30 and he said that he had made no such promise to Mr. Taylor. “I wrote to Minister Taylor,who then got my exequatur from Spain., I wentdown to the cousulate with it, prepared to re- move Mr. McCrillis if he refused to go. He went. *‘During all this time the Chief of the Con- sular Burean at Washington, Faison, who was fully aware that I was duly appointed Consul and on the ground at Denia kept writing to McCrillis as the Hon. R. F. McCrillis, United States Consul, Denia, Spain. This is forbidden by Consular regulations. “I repeatedly wrote to the Consular bureau, but my letters were answered by Faison to McCrillis, and they worked to- gether understandingly. Even after I was in possession of the office Mr, Faison continued for a long time to address letters to McCrillis as Consul. I have some of these letters. You are right in supposing that there was & very strong motive in this common interest between the Consular Bureau and the ex-Consul, whose appointment bad never been ratified. “I have indisputable proof of the con- spiracy, and it is important not only politically, but commercially. I do not want any appointment, but I do, for the good of the country and our National honor, want an investigation and reforma- tion of the whole consular service. “When I got here and went to the State Department, Chief Clerk Rennick used every endeavor to get me to keep quiet. For Assistant Secretary Uhl I have the very highest respect. He is a thorough, courteous afd fearless official. He unaerstands this whole matter, and it was on his advice that T put my charges against the consular bureau in writing. BASEBALL 1IN THE EAST. 8t. Louis Wins From Baltimore and Chi- eago From Cleveland. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 7.—After the first inning to-day the champions could do nothing with Breitenstein’s pitching. The Browns hammered Hemming out of the box in the third, and Esper relieved him. A phenomenal double play by Brown and Connor in the eighth inning was the fea- ture. Jevne's umpiring was impartially bad. Attendance, 6000. Score: St. Louls. Batteries—Breitenstel Esper and Robinson. U CHICAGO, Inn., July 7.— Cleveland could no, nothing with Griffith until the ninth inning, when he let down.

WHIPPED IN THREE ROUNDS » Danny Needham Makes Short Work of Tom Casey. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., July 7.—Danny Need- ham and Tom uasey of New Orleans met for a finish fight for a8 purse of §500ona flatboat moored in the Mississippi River, ten miles below this city, this evening. Before the boat left the wharf the police arrested Johnny Daly, the promoter of the mill, but the Erincipn.ls escaped. After two Fre]iminary outs between amateurs the ightweights shook hands. First round—Both cautious. Needham drew first claret on a nose tap. Second round—¢ was the aggressor, landing three heavy body blows on Danny and getting away safelv. Needham returned two Light blows over the heart, Third round—In_atiem Casey left an opening. Danny lended hard on Casey’s neck with his leit, sparred off a re- turn with his left and landed his right on Cesey’s chin. The New Orleans lad fell and was counted out. FEARS HE WILL KLL AL Corbett’s Sinister Comments Anent the Coming Battle. Glad a Precedent Has Been Estab- lished by the Acquittal of + the Australian. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 7.—Now that Fitzsimmons has been declared ‘“not guilty,” interest naturally centers in the big fight and what the men are doingin preparation. Corbett was seen by a re- reporter to-day and said: “You can say one thing for me: I never started to train feeling as well as I do now. I have not commenced my work yet and shall not until about six weeks before the fight. T am very glad Fitzsimmons was acquitted, as I do not think it right to Lold & man responsible for an accident of that kind. Take for example the com- ing fight; if Ishould be so unfortunate as to kill him, no one would be more sorry than L. “Ldo feel certain of theresult. I was never more so in my life, In the first place, I never considered Fitzsimmons in my class, and the only way he can con- vince me that he is is by whipping me. Bome people are very unkind in their re- marks about me, accusing me of being afraid to meet him and of being a news- paper fighter. I don’t think there is any- thing in my record that sustains their statements. When Sullivan was champion after meeting Kilrain, it was three yecars before he fought again, and yet no one ac- cused him of being a coward, in spite of the repeated challenges of Blavin and Jack- son, and when Slavin met him personally, Sullivan told bim he bad retired from the ring. “g'ow, if I had shown a great haste to meet Fitzsimmons when the match was first proposed these same people would have said I was looking for easy honors by going out of my class. Of course I know Fitzsimmons is anxious to meetme. Why shouldn’t he be? He has every(hin% to ain. Previous to his being matched to ight me his theatrical ventures were any- thing but suecessful; since then he has made the amount of our side bet out of the fact of our beinz matched. If I whi him be is still champion middle-weight. If. he lasts twenty-iwo rounds or more, eople will say heis a better man than Sul. Fivnn, and if by accident (and accidents are liable to happen) he should win he is a made man. If you thought you stood a ghost of a show wouldn’t you take those chances? About his confidence of winning I will only say one thinf: *I give Fitz credit for beini a smart man. Would any shrewd man boast that he could whip another in a punch when by merely keeping silent he could get odds o¥2tol for his money? His utterances appear to be the boasting of a frightened man. £ “I weigh now 186 pounds, but shall probably train down to about 175 pounds, or even lower. I want to be as near Fita- simmons’ weight as possible. I think he will fight at about 168. It is not hard work for me to train, as a constant regard for my health has made me a very plain eater. I never think of touching anything but steaks, chops, soft-boilded eggs and other strengthening food. Fancy dishes I eschew. Then, before each meal I take an hour’s rest. Ishall train here until two weeks before the fight, then go to Galves- ton, where I have engaged a couple of cot- tages near the Beach Hotel.” CYCLERS AT ASBURY PARK, Hundreds Gathering for the Annual Meeting of the League. Bleycling Ordinances Suspended by the Mayor Until the Con~ vention Is Over. ASBURY PARK, N. J, “July 7.— Although the National meet of the League of American Wheelmen, scheduied for July 8o 13, does not formally begin until ting a right swing | to-morrow, hundreds of visiting cyclers have already arrived here and established themselves at the various hotels, some of which are even now crowded. The arrival of the century run from Newark last even- ing was the real beginning of the grand meet, and the 200 odd survivors of the long. muddy ride have been the heroes and heroines of the past twenty-four hours. The city is in gala trim to meet the strangers, The handsome new clubhouse of the Ashbury Park wheelmen is wide open at all hours and a register of each visitor is there kept, with his or her hotel address, in order that friends may easily find one another and clubmates may be brought together. Mayor Tenbroeck and the Common Council haye suspended the bicycle lamp ordinance during the week of the meet, in order that visiting cyclers need not be bothered to bring their lamps and may fly about after dark unmolested by the min- ions of the law, a privilege which is sin- cerely appreciated by the guests. The world-famous rigid Sunday restrictions of Ashbury Park were also perceptibly re- laxed to-day and the racing men already on the scene were permitted to indulge in practice spins while the church bells pealed and holy hymns were chantad in the park. Chief Consul Gentle and Secretary Tat- tersall of the New Jersey division are at the league headquarters in the Ocean House busily engaged in welcoming the many strangers. Secretary Tattersall is armed with a pocketful of neatly printed blue slips, countersigned by Chief Consul Gentle, which entitles a new member upon payment of the $2 initiation fee to all the Envue.ges of a veteran, without waiting he customary fortnight of probation, a n.easure which is meeting with agpronl from the vast army of “‘unattached. HER SPEED TESTED The Defender Gets Away From the Swift Colonnia. THEIR RACE SOON ENDS. After a Short Trip, an Acci- dent Compels the Yachts to Return. BUILT FOR LIGHT WEATHER. The Flyer Demonstrates Her Ina= bllity to Sail Fast in a Heavy Breeze. PROVIDENCE, R. L, July supposed that it w the imemio}\ to speed the Defender w the Colonnia as trial horse outside of Newport to-day. Both yachts left Bristol about nt_)on,‘.'flnl although the weather was almost ideal for a =pin, the yachts did not go farther down the bay than Gould Island. It is thought by those who were watching the yachts that there was an accident of some n: on board the Defender which neces: her return to Bristol. This was, however, denied at Bristol to-night. However that may be, a man was sent aloft while the vacht was off Gould Island and the yacht lay to for fully five minutes. It was pre- sumed that she had broken the jaws of her gaff, or met with an accident of some such nature. The yacht was some time in com- ing about after the sailor descended from aloft and she at once bore away for Bristol. There were many disappointed ones at Newport over what is supposed to be the unavoidable change of programme, a num- ber of craft being all ready to follow the boats out of the bay. The Defender carried a working topsail in addition to the three other sails which she spread to-day. There was only a fair sailing breeze blowing, yet the Colonnia, carrying the same sails, was not in it with the new boat. The Defender simply ran away from her consort. It was of course difficult to tell just how fast she was sail- ing, butin an estimated distance of four miles, both yachts close hauled, the cup- defender beat the Colonnia fully fifteen minutes. She is certainly a wonderfully fast light-weather boat. On the other hand, she did'not stand up to her work well and showed indications of being tender. While the Colonnia, carrying the same sails, stood up stiff as a house, the Defender’s lee sail was buried under water all the time: and this in a sailing breeze in which she ought to have easily carried both a jib topsail and a club topsail. Judging from the performances of both, the designers evidently desired to turn out light-weather craft and in this they have evidently succeeded. Whether or not they have overshot the mark remains to be seen. PLANS OF THE VALKYRIE 111. Will Race No More Till She Reaches This Stde of the Atlantic. HUNTERS QUAY, Scorraxp, July 7.— The representative of The United Press learns that the Valkyrie III will take part in no more races on this side of the At- lantic. She will go to Henderson’s yard to-morrow to prepare for her voyage to New York. A Clyde yachtsman, who has followed the yacht closely ever since she was launched, and who has seen all the races in which she has taken part, says that, in his opinion, the boat is {mlling out of shape in the sheer. She looks to be dis- tinctly hogged in the wake of the main chain plates. Howard Gould, the owner of the twenty- rater Niagara, is much disgusted with rac- ing against the eleven-rater Dakotah on the yacht association racing time allow- ance. He threatens to race his boatasa twenty-one-rater, and claim admission to the forty-rater class if the Dakotah con- tinues winning in the sout KILLED FOR HIS CRIME.
