Dan Stuart Bas a Place Where They Can Fight Without Fear, EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 18.—Dan Stuart, after a fantastic chase over the country, has at last settied on a spot where he may pull off any prize-fight without fear of po- lice interference. That place is on the Mexican side of the river near El Paso del Norte. Backed by a syndicate of American capitalists, mostly Texans, he Tecently made a trip to tbe City of Mex- 1co and there obtained a concession that laces him in indisputable possession of a tract of land on which he may erect an arena, club- house, etc., and make such improvements as he may decide upon, and pull off his + fights without interruption of any kind. Stuart will now make a bid for the Cor- beti-Fitzsimmons affair under circum- stances where a large purse may be guar- anteed, and under the charter :Tanted by the Mexican Government he may put the “pugs” into thering and fight them toa finish. It is said that the improvements wiil be made at once. It is further stated that the syndicate will guarantee money for purses and that some of the highest purses in the history of the prize-ring will shortly be scheduled. —~——— San Jose’s Bird Show.

Y., Nov. 17.—The third day’s session of the first convention of the National Council of Jewish Women began this morning in the Tuxedo. President Hannah G. Solomon called the conven- tion to order.

Dr. Burkovitz of Philadel- whia, who was present, should give his apinion on the book. Dr. Burkovitz then took the floor. He said he did not believe it was wise for the convention at this time to pass on theo- logical themes. *Ican simply say,” said he, “that the Jewish Chautauqua Sogciety has adopted Dr. Montefiore’s Bible, with certain reservations. The report of the National committee on religion was then presented to the con- vention. Miss Julia Richman presented the raport of the National committee on religious school work. Rabbi H. P. Mendes of New York, next took the platform. *‘You will never suc- ceed,” he said, “in turning out good Jews and Jewesses unless you and your hus- bands show the children examples at bome. Your children come to the syna- gogue and hear us say what sinners their parents are and in the next moment we say to them ‘honor thy father and mother.” ”’ This was received with a Jaugh. Dr, Mendes further said that he deplored the lack of interest taken in the Jewish cere- monies of consecration and devlored what be called the abominable system c! feeing ministers. Mrs, Todhelmuth, president of the So- rosis, was next accorded a hearing. She greeted the council on bebalf of Sorosis and invited the members to become mem- bers of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Carrie 8.

Edison said yesterday that he,did not doubt the story from San Francisco re- garding young Bacigalupi, the blind boy, who claims that the cathode ray enables him to distinguish objects. **Such a thiug is possible,” Edison said. “Why, I recently learned by accident that though the X rays are invisible with- out the use of a fluornscope, by putting my bhand over my eye 1 could plamnly dis- cern anything bLehind it. In the hight of my discovery I can see that a mistake was made in the San Francisco experiment. The_boy should have looked directly at the X rays.” PR ST ITALY AND BRAZIL.

Y., Nov. 17.—Tne Herald's Valparaiso cable says: It is semi-officially reported that the relations between Chile and Argentine are again strained. Chile made a proposition to Argentine to enter into an agreement to disarm. The reply of Argentine was that in the arbitration protocol accepted two months ago there was no clause ealling for disarmament, and that the Government did not propose to do so.

Y., Nov. 17.—A Times special from Washington says: An at- tempt will be made during the coming session of Congress to put an additional tax ot $20,000,000 on beer.

Collusion Between the Company and a Kapsas Official Is Alleged. D.cided Increase in the Conflict Be- tween the Stats and Federal . Courts. OSKALOOSA, Kass, Nov. 17.—The Santa Fe recewvership isin court again. This afternoon Judge Myers, at & special term of the District Court here, heard the mo- tion filed before him by Attorney Keeler, asking that the amendments filed by Assistant Aitorney-General A. A. Godaard be stricken from the original petition, Mr. Keeler's motion having been based on the following grounds: First—Neither the court nor the county at- torney ever ordered, directed or consented to the filing of said document. Second—That said document was filed in pursuance of a collusive agreement and work- ing between the Santa Fe and one A. A. God- dard, assistant to the Attorney-General of the State of Kansas, for the purpose of getting this dodument removed out of this court and for the purpose of defeating the State in its effort to enforce the laws. Third—The plaintiff, by said county attor- ney, disdains and renounces the allegations in said document, and claims tnat they form no part of the statement of the plaintiffs’ cause of action. After argument Judge Myers sustained the motion and the amendmenis were ordered stricken from the petition. Assistant Attorney-General Goddard's affidavit, in which be alleged that Keeler had proposed to the Santa Fe attorneys that for a consideration he would remove the case from the courts was ruled out by Judge Myers. The motion of Attorney Hurd for the railroad company to transier the case to the Federal court was overruled. The effort of the attorney to knock out attor- neys Keeler and Hite was also unsuccess- ful. It will be remembered thata note was sent them by County Attorney Phinney dismissing them from any further work in the case, which action, it was alleged, was instigated by the Santa Fe attorneys. To-day Mr. Phinney frankly admitied that he did not know just what to do, and Judge Myers came to his aid and the noti- fication mentioned was siricken from the file, and the court held that Pninney was upreme. Receiver C. F. Johnson, who was ap- pointed by Judge Myers, has never }u-li- ged, and a motion was made by Judpe Keeler asking that a8 new receiver be named. Action on this motion was de- ferred until to-morrow. In the matter of contempt proceedings Attorneys Keelerand Hite made a motion to the court to cite the Attorney-General to appear before him and show cause why be should not be tried for contempt, and Judge Myers stated that he would proba- bly do this at 8 special session of the court, To-morrow’s proceedings—the court ha: ing adjourned.till to-morrow morning promise to be very interesting, as the con- flict between the Btate and Federal court as to authority is waxing warm. Judge Myers is highly indignant at the course taken, and proposes to sustain the dignity of his court. OF INTEEEST 10 THE COAST. Changes dAmong Postmasters and Valu- able Patents Issued.
