gbe gtoJte. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Moayurs, augtjbt 28. THROUGH WITH FIQHTINQ. Fitzshnmoas Anaonaces His Retirement from Pugilistic Areii Couldn't Get a Match With Jeffries. By Telegraph to toe Morning Star. New York, August 27. Robert Fitxsimmans to-night announced his retirement from the pugilistic ring. He made an ineffectual attempt to day to get on a match for the heavy weight championship with James J. Jeffries, to take place before the Hor ton law expires at midnight next Fri day, and to-night issued the following statement: "I am through with fighting. I will retire from the ring and will not claim the chamnionshiD from Jeffries. Iam ready and on edge to meet him next Friday night, as his manager suggested ten days ago, but as he claims that he is in no condition to fight on that night. I am through with him and with the ring. Henceforth there will be one man less in the heavy-weight division, for I will go out with the Horton law." Fitzsimmons, with his manager, met William A. Brady, representing Jef fries, this afternoon. Last Saturday Fitzsimmons deposited 2,500 to bind a match between himself and Jeffries for next Friday night and Brady sent word that he would meet Fitzsimmons to arrange for a battle between Jeffries and the ex heavy weight champion. Fitzsimmons said he was ready and willing to meet Jeffries on Friday nieht before the Twentieth Century Club under any conditions as to the division of the purse or gate receipts which would suit Brady. He said he would be satisfied for the winner to take all, or to split the purse in half or to give sixty-five per cent, to the win ner, or sixty five per cent, to the loser: or in fact any terms possible so that he could meet the present champion be- . fore the expiration of the Horton law. Brady, in reply, said that Jeffries was in no condition, as he had quit training several days ago. He said it wonld be unfair for Fitzsimmons to force a match with a man physically unfit for such a contest. Fitzsimmons replied that Jeffries had had plenty of time to get into condition, and said that although he had gone through two very severe battles during the last two weeks, he was on the edge now and ready to fight to regain the cham pionship. Brady said it was impossible for a fight to take place between Jeffries and Fitzsimmons on the date men tioned, but that he would put up a forfeit at once to bind a match between the two, the fight to take place within three months from September 1st, and a side bet of $10,000. Fitzsimmons would not listen to this proposition and said that it was only made for ad vertising purposes. TOM WEST AND JOE WALCOTT The Nerra Had the Best of the Fight Bat la the Twelfth Ronnd He Re fused to Go On. By Telegraph to the Horning star. New York, August 27. The fight between Tommy West and Joe Wall cott, which was the main attraction at the Twentieth Century Club in Mad ison Square Garden ended in a most peculiar manner to-night The bout had gone eleven rounds very much in Wallcott's favor, as he had punished (West very badly about the body and had him in a very weakened condi tion. When the bell rang for the twelfth round, to the surprise of every body Wallcott refused to go on, claiming that he had injured his left arm. Referee Charlie White, sus pecting crookedness, insisted on Wall cott's continuing, but the negro re fused to resume. This left White no alternative other than to declare West the winner. There was quite a large sum of money wagered, with West the favorite, and the referee was outspoken in reference to Walcott's peculiar actions. White said: 'Walcott was not injured; he quit deliberately and it was my candid confirmed opinion that he was actuated in quitting by some dishonest motive. I believe that Walcott was encouraged to act as he did by some person closely connected with him. That he should act thus is no surprise to me, as he es tablished a precedent for similar work in San Francisco not so very long ago. "And I think it was a scheme to hurt the management of the Twentieth Century Club, which has all along acted in good faith." Manager Kennedy, on behalf of the club, announced that Walcott's share of the money would not be given to him, but would be donated to some charitable institution. As betting in New York State was illegal, he was sorry thai the club could take no cogni zance of wagers made. THE POPULIST PARTY. National Committee Decided to Accept C. H. Towne's Decliaatloa. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago, August 27. The People's Party National Committee late this afternoon decided to accept the declina tion of Charles A. Towne to be a can didate for vice-president The com mittee still is in session, discussing three alternatives nominating a Pop ulist endorsing Stevenson, or leaving the place on the ticket blank. Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the committee, in a warm speech of some length advocated leaving the place blank, contending' that Bryan and Stevenson would receive more Populist votes than if a candidate for vice-president was named. But one test vote was taken. A motion was made to endorse Mr. Stevenson. For this motion Mr. Washburn, of Massa chusetts, moved as a substitute that a Populist be placed upon the ticket The substitute was lost on a call of the roll by a vote of twenty-four ayes to seventy-one nays. The original mo tion waa then adopted by a rim voce vote. A Monster Devil FIh cotujiuk. its victim is a type of constipation.

Tha Kind Yon Haie Always Bought Bears the Signature of TBEY HAVE NOT DECLARED WAR. No Truth in Report That Russia, Germany and Japan Have Taken Such Action. NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION Trouble With Commoaicatloos-Brief Dis patch from Minister Conrer Ger man Troops Arrive In Pekin. Military Restorlor Order. By Cable to the Horning Star. London. August 27. There is ab solutely no truth in the dispatch from Che Foo of August 24th, saying it waa rumored there on "good authority" that Russia, Germany and Japan had H-7awd war on China and had "in vited the United States and Great Britain to retire" from that country. Inauiries made at St Petersburg, Berlin and Tokio show the report is rejected at those capitals as "unworthy of notice." Washington, August 27. After several days' intermission in Chinese advices, the government to-day re ceived two dispatches which, presu mably, bring its advices up to the most recent date. There are indications that the pnn- cinal delay in the lines of communica tionsare encountered between Tien Tain and Pekin; just such interfer ence with the signal corps men as was experienced by the United States forces in the Philippines and by Lord Robert's troops in the Transvaal cam paign. Usually these interruptions are very short the marauders being driven off and the lines restored with in a day or two. The fact that more than a week was covered by the last interruption, rives rise to the belief here that these attacks upon the lines of communication by Boxers are more formidable than was supposed to be possible, after the heavy losses in flicted upon them by the International forces in its advance. Message From Confer. The important dispatch of the day was one from Minister Conger relative to the situation in Pekin. as follows : "No important movements since l&st dispatch. Military is trying to restore order. No representative of the Urn nese government encountered yet Several ministers of the Tsung Li Ya men are reported in the' city and are expected to appear soon. Generals de cide not to enter into the Imnerial nal ace, leaving it practically vacant Two thousand Hermans arrived to-day." Unfortunately this dispatcn lacked a date, the minister presumably not hay ing yet received the department's in structions to include the date in the body of his dispatches. From internal evidence the State Department con cluded that Mr. Conger's message was certainly later than any omcial emana tion from the Chinese capital. Mr. Conger's reference to the arrival of 2,000 fresh German troops caused some surprise, no one apparently having closely watched the movements of the German contingent which is now ar riving with fairly regular frequency in China, and which consequently may be expected soon to equal in nu merical strength the military con tin gent of any of the European nations there represented. A Significant Statement in Minister Conger's dispatch is that reporting the unexpected appearance in Pekin of some of the members of the Tsung Li Yam en. A natural con struction to be given to this statement is that these ministers wish to under tase to represent tne uninese govern ment formally in negotiations with the powers. It having been found im possible up to this moment according to Mr. Conger's statement to meet any representative of the Chinese gov ernment in Pekin who was competent to open negotiations, it may be in ferred that if these ministers actually appear with proper credentials, one of the problems connected with the pres ent difficult situation in China will be solved. With some responsible person or persons to deal with, it may be possible for the United States to come to some agreement as to the set tlement of the Chinese trouble. Ever since the fall of Pekin," the principal difficulty confronting the government here . has been to arrange for the next movement in its programme. It could not with draw its troops, even if so disnosed, without arranging for indemnifica tion for the heavy cost it has been put to in the Pekin campaign. Also, it must make arrangements with some responsible authority for-the future protection of American interests in China, as our business interests can not be withdrawn along with the army of occupation. Therefore, as conveying a faint nope that in the persons of these members of the Tsung li Yamen, there may be found some authorized repre aentativeof the Chinese government competent to make engagements on these points, the message of Mr. Conger was very welcome to the au thorities here. The Imperial Palace. Another statement in Mr. Conger's dispatch relative to the decision of the generals not to enter the Imperial palace, appears to explain the move mentlof the American troops, which the Press dispatches were unable to clear up, in relaxing the attack upon the palace gates after capturing all but one of them. Another event of the day of some interest was an order dispatching the Castine from Shanghai to Amoy dis tant about four hundred : miles. The little gunboat should make the trip in about two days, under favorable con ditions. Her force is small but sufficient to serve a moral purpose, if there be need for such. Affairs at Amoy. The condition of affairs at Amoy is ior vne moment attracting much at tention at the department The United States consul and business in terests there alike have become very mucu aiarxnea at noting, at tne incen diary fires, and lastly at the landing of a considerable force of Japanese soldiers and sailors. The official does not care to say whether or not he has joined in any protest against the Japanese -action. The Castine, it can be stated, however, was ordered to Amoy because of rioting, but not on account of any apprehensions of Japanese aspiration: Government officials take the ground that in the absence of any advice showing a selfish fiurpose on the part of the Japanese t must be assumed that their landing was made In the common cause of all Europeans and Americans. It is not doubted that any American com mander would have landed troops at Amoy if rioting appeared to endanger foreign properties and lives and no other foreign warships ; were avail able. Steps will be taken at once to learn the facts in the case. No Conference Invited. The United States government ha not invited any government to partici pate in a conference with the purpose of arranging the future of China. Nor i nas u received any such, invit&tim. I from any other government Negoti ations mat nave been in ' progress for ome time involved, last week, the dis- Stch of a note, or rather of practically mtieal Instructions to the United Rtatea diplomatic representatives in Europe and Japan, for their guidance in replying to inquiries that were flow ing In upon tnem dally as to tne pur pose of the United States govern me ut The Htate Department ltseii ubs nh inauiries from rep resentatives of the powers involved in the Chinftse trouble. It is beiievea kot haca vam Mnerallv informal, Kut ,AVrtiiilAfia as they called for statements of policy, it was regarded as expedient that the replies should not be divergent, and to guard against discrepancy, by direction oi tne rreii a ant m, formal instruction was drawn ii n. That this did not exactly define th. intention of the United States to withdraw from China at a specmea time was made evident by the continu ance of inauiries from the legations apd embassies here for information on this point There is a very manifest desire on the part of European governments to get sjme expression from the United States government as to its purpose before committing tnemseives. The Government's Policy. It is believed that our answers have been framed with the special purpose of avoiding a committal of tne govern ment as to its policy, beyond the points specifically laid down in the Presi dent's response to Emperor Kwang Tsu's first appeal and in tne answer to La Hung Chang's appeal xor media tion. However this may be, the State Department does not regard it as expedient at this moment to make public the latest phases of the negolia tions. so it is impossible to know from this side whether or not they have touched uoon propositions to divide China into spheres for military occu pation or to provide for a temporary form of government at Pekin, or, to endeavor to re-establish relations with the existing dynasty in China, though it may be fairly assumed that some thing has been said upon these vari ous points. Advices From Cbalfee. The first direct word from General Chaffee since August 18 came to day in the form of a cablegram dated to day at Taku reporting the action of the Sixth cavalry with the enemy near rr5 m - a. i lien inn on tne m. This cablegram adds no additional information to that already received by the State Department in General Chaffee s previous reports in which he said: "Morning 19th Sixth cavalry and about 400 English and Japanese dis persed about 1,000 Boxers outside of Tien Tsin. About one hundred Chinese killed ; five Americans wounded " The description of the action re ported by General Chaffee tallies with that previously reported by Admiral Remey in the above cable and is iden tified with it by War Department officials. The explanation in the delay of the War Department's advices is that Colonel Wint who commands the Sixth cavalry, probably forwarded his report to his superior at Pekin and General Chaffee then sent it officially to Washington. Although General Chaffee's cable is dated Taku it is as sumed that it was forwarded from Pekin. COTTON STATES ASSOCIATION Commissioners of Arrlcnltore to Meet To-day la Raleigh Estimate As to the Cotton Crop. By Telegraph to the Horning star. Raleigh, N. C, August 27. The second annual convention of the Cot ton States Association of the Commis sioners of Agriculture will meet here tomorrow at noon. The sessions promise to be most interesting. There are many questions of vital importance to tne farmers to be discussed. rrooapiy tne nrst in importance is the perfecting of a plan outlined at the in ew Orleans convention for the esti mate of the cotton crop at all periods of the season. Should the present plan oi tne association be executed, it is be lieved false estimates in the future will be nearly impossible. Tne commissioners have reached the conclusion that the tax receiver of each county in each State is the proper man to estimate the crop. livery indication points to the fact that the crop will be short, as com pared with last season. The figures. unomcially snow that a crop of 9.500. 000 bales will be about what the com missioners will declare is in sight TO RETAKE PEKIN. A Chinese Force Advaacinr from Sban Tanr. Boxers Concentrating on the Line of Commaalcatlon. By Cable to the Morning Star. London, August 27. A dispatch from Tokio says General Yamaguchi reports that the Chinese have not abandoned hope of re taking Pekin, ana mat a.wu men wun niteen guns were advancing toward Pekin from Shan Tung, probably intending to cut toe allies' communications. Berlin August 27. A dispatch re ceived here from Tien Tsin says large bodies of .Boxers are concentrating niteen miles northeast of Twang Sun. As Twang Sun does not appear to be on any of the available maps or in the Gazetter it is possible the Berlin dis patch may refer to Yang Tsun, on the Jfei Ho. about sixteen miles as the crow flies, from Tien Tsin, on the way to Fekin. NEQR0 TO LEAVE CONGRESS. White, of North Carolina Not a Candl date for Re-election. Washington, August 26. The only colored man in Congress, Representa tive George H. White, of North Caro lina, has announced that he will not stand for re election, and says he will move to some Northern State. I have three reasons for this deter mination." said White. "In the first place, my wife's health has been very bad on account of the political attacks made on me, and I am sure the excite ment of another campaign for re-election would kill her. "Second, I am satisfied I could not secure a certificate if I were elected. and, third, I must devote myself to some employment that pays me some money. I have not sufficient means carry on a political fight that can only prove expensive." A circular note from the Vatican has been sent to all Catholic governments, declaring that the Pope renounces none of the Papal rights over the Rome provinces, and that until Italy recognizes the Holy See the Pope will recognize the new King only as King of Sardinia.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER A Younr Girl Her Victim Officers Who Went to Arrest the Alleged Mur deress Were Fired Upon and a Pierce Fight Ensued. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Oilman, III., August 27. Two men killed, three persons wounded, two of them perhaps fatally, and her resi dence burned, are the results of an all- night battle between a mob and Mrs. Dr. C. W. Wright, who was accused of the murder of Bessie Salter, the 16 year old daughter of a citizen of. Gil- man. Dead John Meyers, a laborer em ployed by Mrs. Wright; Michael Ryan, citizen, serving as deputy con stable. Jfatally wounded .Lawrence Rvan.brother of the dead man; George Willoughby, citizen, shot through left lung; Mrs. Dr. C. W. Wright, snot through right shoulder, the bullet taking a downward course, seriously wounded Peter Lauer, member of the citizens' attacking party, shot through the stomach. A coroner's lury found Bessie Baiter had died Friday night in Mrs. Wright's lying in hospital and a warrant for Mrs. Wrifcht's arrest was placed in the hands of Constable Milstead, who went to Mrs. Wright's place on the outskirts of town to serve it. A num ber of deputies gathered upon the street accompanied Constable Milstead. Mrs. Wright barred the door, xne constables broke the outer door open and entered the rooms. Michael Kyan felt his way across the first room and was about to enter tne door oi tne inner apartment when a shot rang out and he fell dead. The constables made a hurried exit and formed a picket line around the building. At regular intervals they fired into the building in the hope that the occu pants would surrender, but without success. About S o clock tne lamny oi Michael Ryan arrived, and the scenes of grief which followed the arrival of Ryan s wife and children fired the crowd with frenzy. They seized dozens of bundles of straw, saturated them with petroleum, piled them against the front and sides or the so-called hospi tal and applied the torch. In a moment the place was a mass of flames. Shot after shot rang from the upper windows and George Wiliough by, a local representative of the Standard Oil Company, fell with a bullet in the left side. The next victim was Peter Lauer, a member of the attacking party. These casualties so angered the crowd that they vol leyed the house as fast as they could load their firearms. Contrary to expectations no screams followed the progress of the names, and the mob began to think that the inmates of the burning house had been cremated. Suddenly, from a bunch of timber in the rear, several shots came in the direction of the mob; they answered, a hundred to one, and the fare was quickly silenced. Members of the mob rushed to the timber and in the dim light of the coming dawn found the body of John Myers, a blacksmith, who had been employed by Mrs. Wright, stretched in the death agony. He was shot in a dozen places about the head and shoulders, showing that he had been Jyinr on his face. firing at his enemies when he met death. Near by lay Mrs. Wright, a ragged hole in her right shoulder. She had been wounded while lying down in the same position as Myers. The mob carried her down town, jeering as they went. She was taken to the council chamber and later to the Wat- seka jaiL The mob then immediately dispersed The Wright house was destroyed with its contents. Mrs. Dr. Wright is about fifty years old. It is stated that she was formerly an actress. Tho coroner's inquest over Myers and Ryan resulted in a verdict of "death by bullet wounds from parties unknown." Mrs. Wright was held to the grand jury without bail. The removal of Mrs. Wright to the Watseka jail seems to have annulled all mob talk. BOERS MAKE FIERCE FIGHT. British Report an Engagement All Day Sunday Over a Front of Nearly Thirty Miles. Or Cable to the Morning Star. London, August 27. The following dispatch was sent to day by Lord Roberts: "Belfast, Sunday, August 26. En gaged the enemy the greater part of the day over a perimeter of nearly thirty miles. Littleton's division of two brigades of cavalry, all under Buller. operated southwest of Lalma- nut ha. French, with two brigades of cavalry, moved northwest or Belfast. As soon as French reached Legeniy, Pole-Carew advanced from Belfast in support. The enemy, in considerable strength, opposed Bullers and Fole- Carew's advance. He brought three Long Toms and many other guns and pompons (quick-firing guns) into action. The firing until dark was hot and persistent Buller hopes his casualties will not exceed forty. Pole- Carew has not yet reported. The Boers are making a determined stand. -They have a large number of guns, the country is difficult and well suited for their tactics, and is less favorable to cavalry than any we have hitherto gone over."

ALLIES ARE .RESUMINQ AGGRESSIVE OPERATIONS Rumors of a Fierce Battle at PekJn That the Allies Retreated, Losing 1,800 : i - Men, Mostly Russians - .- . . .. ; i . By cable to the Morning star. London, August 28, 3:50 A. M. The allies, resuming aggressive opera tions, have taken the district west of Pekin. This statement, based on Chinese authority, is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place, comes tbe further statement that Li Hung Chang has wired the Empress Dowager at Hsian Fu requesting the arrest of Prince Tuan and the disarma-' ment of the Boxers, in order to give him an opening for negotiations with the powers. The illuminations projected at Shan ghai in celebration of the relief of Pekin have been abandoned, lest they should cause a native outbreak. "Evidence has been received here," sajs the Shanghai correspondent of the Standard, "going to show that General Yung Lu was the real author of the anti-foreign outbreak, the Em press Dowager, Prince Tuan and the others all having been persuaded by him to take an extreme attitude, while he stood aside and awaited develop ments." American refugee missionaries in Amoy, according to the Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail, are anxious to return to the interior; but the United States consul has forbidden them to do-so, and urges them to go to the Philippines or return to Amer ica. Shanghai advices to the Daily News say that consular opinion there looks upon Japanesa action in the landing of troops at Amoy, despite the pro tests .of the consuls, as similar to that of Russia at New Chwang, the whole indicating a tendency to a partition of the empire. ''Russian journals agree," says the Moscow correspondent of the Stand ard, "that it is impossible to deal with China in the spirit of revenge, as sug gested by Emperor William. They be lieve that methods less drastic can bet ter accomplish the ends of Russia in Manchuria. The question would be satisfactorily settled to the Russian mind by the seizure of the northern provinces." Paris, August 28, 4.25 A. M. A special to Lesiecle, from St. Peters burg, says: "It is persistently rumored in St. Petersburg that the Russian govern ment has received a dispatch asserting that, after a fierce battle inside Pekin, the allies retreated, losing 1,800 men, mostly Russians. It is further said that the Chinese occupy fortified positions, from which they are bombarding the allies in a murderous manner." CHOLERA IN INDIA.

"The present epidemic of cholera," says the Simla correspondent of the Daily Mail, "is one of the worst outbreaks on record. The bubonic plague is child's play compared with it. "The natives are dyincr like flies at the rate of 3,000 a week. The epidemic is undoubtedly due to the pollution of the scanty water supply during the famine." price, Mccormick & co.
