Seats for the Britt-Lavigne contest, which will be brought off in Woodward's Pavilion next Thursday night under the euspices of the San Francisco Athletic Club, will open at Corbett’s this morning. Manager Alec Greggains has received nu- merous orders from the country from sporting men, and local ring-goers have | left requests for choice locations. As usual, the Olympic Club will send a big | delegation to the ringside. Britt always | fights under the colors of the local club. | The organization is strictly an amateur | one, but Britt has proven himself such a | fair boxer that he was elected a member without a dissenting vote, | The betting on the coming contest is 10 | to 8, with Britt on the long end. As yet | the wagering is light, but will grow heav- | ier as the hour of the contest draws near. Lavigne has many friends in this ciiy. They believe that with his ability to with- | stand punishment and deliver hard blows | be will make Jimmy stop before half the | Journey is traveled. The two men are in splendid shape. | They have been in training for the lasti three weeks and are anxiovsly waiting for the sound of the gong that will send them together. Eddie Smith of Oakland | is to referee the contest. Jeffries intended leaving yesterday for | Harbin Springs, but missed his train. He will make another try this morning. Joe Kennedy will very likely join him at the aprings In a few days. Bob Armstrong is in demand. Fitz wants him and Jeff thinks he has first call on his services. Neither man has succeeded in reaching | the dusky pugilist. _Jeffries said yesterday that if he defeats Fitzsimmons he will take on Jim Corbett in September. Harry Corbett broached tha subject to Jeffries last Sunday night. Jeff expressed his willingness to meet Corbett end Harry immediately notified his brother. Fitzsimmons began light training at Skaggs yesterday. He took a jog over the hills in the morning, and in the afternoon he worked in the gvmnasium that has been fitted up for his benefit. George Gardner, the middle-weight box- er, is very sore on Jack Root. Gardner says that Root is too timid to meet him in'a finish fight. George claims that he can fight better when the bout is for an | unlimited number of rounds.

CINCINNATI, O., May 26.—Harry New, from the stable of O. R. Ellison, won the Latonia Derby to-day in easy fashion be- fore a crowd of 10,00 people. South Trimble, favorite in the betting, coupled with Martin Burke, as an entry, finished second, with his stable companion third. Abe Frank, the only other starter, finished a poor last. The closing price on the win- ner was 5 to 1, although at one time dur- ing the betting he was as good as 9 to 1. There was a big rlly on Henry New and all the books quit loser on the race. The Derby was devoid of any sensational features. Otis,” who rode the wirner, al- lowed his mount to lag along in_ third place until the stretch was reached, and with a little urging the colt came away from the others and won by five open lengths. South Trimble landed the place handily. Abe Frank made a bid for the money at the head of the stretch, but the heavy impost seemed to tell on his speed and he dropped back steadily at the end.

Pupils of Convent Present Bouquet to the Countess de Rochambeau. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., May 26.—The members of the French mission who par- ticipated in the ceremonies incident to the unveiling' of the statue of Count de Rochambeau at Washington arrived at Niagara Falls this morning. Besides the members of the mission and the families of Lafayette and Rochambeau there were in the party .Embassador Cambon, Madame Cambon, members of the staff of the French embassy and the Presi- dent’s commission. The party spent two hours driving through the gnrk on the American sides and acrosy the bridge to the Canadian side. - At Table Rock they left their car- riages and walked about for a half-hour. They then returned directly to the special train and took luncheon in the dining- car. At 1:15 two special cars of the Niagara Gorge Railroad were brought up to the station, and nearly every member of the party occupied them for a journey through the picturesque gorge. The first stop was made at the whirl- f;nl rapids. A quick run was made to wiston and across the new bridge into British territory again. The military men were interested in the details of the bat- tle of Queenston Heights, which was re- lated to them during a stop at the monu- ment which marks the spot where the British general, Brock, fell, € The cars then proceeded slowly along the Canadian side of the gorge on the Canadfan Scenic Railroad to the, upper steel bridge, crossed the bridge and ar- rived at this station at 3:45. Just before the departure of the train for the East a bevy of girls dressed in white presented to Countess de Rocham- beau a large bouquet of flowers sent by the sisters and pupils of the Sisters of Mercy Convent. The Count and Countess de Rocham- beau came to the rear platform of the last car as the train departed and re- mained there until the train disappeared. NEW YORK, May 26.—The French bat- tleship Gaulols, which brought the French mission to attend the unveiling of the Rochambeau monument at Washington, arrived here to-day from Annapolis. The United States battleships Kearsarge and Alabama and the cruiser Olympia, which were accompanying the Gaulois, arrived thirty minutes later.

PUPILS REGENE THEIR DIPLOMAS Metropolitan Hall was packed last night by friends and relatives who had come to listen to the oratorical efforts of those graduating from the Sacred Heart Col- lege and to witness the presentation of medals, diplomas and_certificates by his grace, Most Reverend P. W. Riordan, who in dismissing the assembly spoke a few feeling words to the young men about to go out into the world and gave thanks to the brothers whose arduous fask it had been to bring them to a state of efficiency for their battle with life. The programme consisted of music by the or- chestra, songs by the choir of the Sacred Heart and essays by the young men graduating. The following was the pro- gramme: (a) “Pickaninny Christening” (Wiley), (b) “Amoureuse Valse Tres Lente” (R.

Riordan, said he could not permit the large audi- ence to disperse without words of con- fl‘ltullflon to the directors of the Sacred eart College for the splendid achieve- ments of the last year. A teacher's work was full of trials and worries, and he considered a great debt of gratitude was owing to them for the immense benefits they were conferring on the church. His grace felt that something would be wanting if he did not come,.year after year on this occasion, to give words of encouragement to the young people and express his sincere appreciation of thc work done. Education must be secular and it must be religious, the two going hand in hand. “For it is a better thing to be good than to be great,” he said. In termination Archbishop Riordan sald: “I wish these boys a long and virtuous life. They go out into the unknown. ‘They go forth with the great blessing of the church upon them.”” Alumnae Elect Officers. | The Alumnae of the Sacred Heart held a meeting in the Assembly Hall of the convent on Sunday last for the purpose of electing officers and adopting a con- stitution and by-laws.

Derham, third | URES Gallinger Would Have Senate Make an In- vestigation. Says Wretched Business Is a Disgrace to American Manhocd. WASHINGTON, May 26.—In the Senate to-day Gallinger of New Hampshire of- fered a resolution providing that the Judiciary Commttee of the Senate should make an investigation into the subject of Iynchings in the United States with the view of ascertaining if there is any rem- edy for them. Gallinger said he introduced the resolu- tion in full view of the fact that he might be charged with precipitating a sectional | controversy, but ‘nothing 'l';sl ru;:he: from his thoughts. He sald lynching were not confined to the South. Horrible cases had occurred in the North, and white men as well as blacks had been ths victims. During the past ten years 2638 lynchings had occurred in the United States. 1f the strong arm of the law could prevent such occurrences he deemed it wise to do so. He read the account of the negro burning in Texas a few days ago. He said history did not furnish a more fiendish instance of mob wrath, and Fox's “Book of Martyrs” was tame in comparison. The whole wretched busi- ness, he said, was a disgrace to American manhood, in the light of which the al- leged atrocities in the Phlllp‘)lnes paled into insignificance. The Spanish inquisi- tion did not furnish a case exceeding that one in inhumanity. He apprehended that it would be said that the Federal Govern- ment was powerless and that the States had exclusive jurisdiction. If so the American lpeople desired to know it. Bailey of Texas said he had no idea of being drawn into any sectional controver- sy by the Senator from New Hampshire, and he would be willing to have the peo- ple judge the men who perpetrated such outrages. He desired, however, to dis- cuss the question whether the Govern- ment had the right to go into the several States and take charge of the peace and | good order. He asked therefore that the resolution go over. ‘There can be objection,” said Bailey, 0 a report from the Judiciary Commit- tee on the subject, because I am sure there can be but one conclusion reached by that committee. But if in the course of its investigations it should undertake to parade before the country all the lynchlnfl and burnings that have oc- curred in any section over a nameless of- fense, and all the murders of women and children and all the abductions which have occurred in other sections of the country, the only result, it seems to me, would be to make us think less of ours selves as a people and as a nation, and 1 have little disposition to indulge in that pastime myself.” Culberson of Texas presented and had read an account of a lynching in Kansas, saying that he wanted it shown that the crime of lynchlni was confined to no State or section. e hoped that the New Hampshire Senator would not single out his State when he wanted to bring such matters before the Senate. After remarks by Hoar upon the con- stitutional feature the matter went over.

ADVERSE REPORT VISIT NIAGARA| O LYNCHINGS ON HOAR'S BILL Isthmian Canal Commit- tee Firmly Opposes the Measure. Members Object to Having the President Select the Route. P S— WASHINGTON, May 26.—Senator Mor- gan from the Committee on Isthmi Canals to-day submitted to the Senate the adverse report of that committee on Sen- ator Hoar’s bill placing the selection of a route for an isthmian canal in the hands of the President. The committee opposed the bill on the ground that it makes no provision for further exploration of routes and leaves the President to make a selec tion on the statement of facts already ascertained. It is contended that “how- ever safely the country may rely on tha wisdom and just discretion of the execu~ .tive, the policy is not wise nor safe as a rule of government.” The report discusses at length the pro- tocols with Colombia and Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and it states incidentally that former Colombian Minister Silva was in- vited to appear before the co.:mittee, b declined to do so. Of the agrccments with Costa Rica and Nicaragua it is sald that “they are definite and complete as to ths character and scope of the rights they have agreed to concede to the United States,” and it is argued that if they are ratified nothing will be left to do but to carry the agreement into effect. Colombia, on the other hand, is charged with playing for delay, and it Is stated that “to hold Colombia to her present offer it is necessary, under article 7, that ratifications shall be exchanged withia eight months of its date, and the pracii- cal impossibility of concluding all the necessary arrangements provided for ‘n her proposition within eight mosths shows that her most earnest purpose is to cause delay.” It is charged that Colombia does not by her protocol propose to sell us the Panama canal and railroad property free of all existing claims, concessions and incumbrances, but leaves us to work out a title with the Panama Company. The report adds: Colombia fs anxious to get rid of the Pan- ama Canal Company without giving offense to France, so that she can seize and possess all the plant of the canal company, all the lands and houses It owns in Panams, including the great hospital, the machine shobs and wharves at Colon, all the vast machinery in use by the Panama Canal Company, the hospitals and other houses, the palace built for De Lesseps and his sons and become the owner of it all, along with the Panama Railroad Company. If this convention should be adopted not only would delay attend the progress of the canal, but the United States would assume obligations to the world that it would be impossible to keep and relations with Colombia that will de- prive the canal of all value to the United States and will make it a cause of irritation that must involve the most serious conse- quencez.
