Ho had the Australian whipped from the ninth rnuud. It was acknowl edged tli ut Jeflriei would have an im incuse advantage iu weight, height and n'o but the thousands who tipped and harked his oppoueut to win were sure that ho was slow and that he wculd in that respect lo absolutely at the mercy of tho past master at the scieno of lighting that ho was to meet. He prov ed, on tho contrary, that he was just as fust is the man ho met and bore him down to unconscious defeat in a fair I'uht. Ife ia ft veritable giant in stature and marvelously speody for his iruiuenso si.o. Less than a year ago he appeared in Now York a great awk ward, ungainly boy. To day ho is the lithe, active, traiued nthleto. The men who prepared him for his fiht worked wonders with hini. They taught him a noarly perfect defense, improved his foot movements and in structed him in tho methods of inflict ing punishment. Tho transition since he appeared last has been little short of miraculous At 54 he has defeated Robert Fitzsirumou, Tom Sharkey and Peter Jackson nod if he cares for himself he will probably be able to suc cessfully defend the title for many years. Jeffries was surrounded by a host of friends who congratulated him on his woll-won honor. In rosponsoto several iniiirie, the new champion said: "I'lt.Mmtnons fought agood and game battle and hit me harder than any man whom I have been up against. He can whip Sharkey in two louud-i. I would train nothiug by meeting Sharkey again but am williug to moot any man iu the world in whom tho public has confi dence, aud there noed bo no fear of my putting tho ring for tho stage. I will ilefcud my titlo as champion at a'.l times and agninst all comers. At ua time during Friday night fight did I feel any misgiviugs to my ability to wiu. I am satisfied that I have well ear nod the right to be called champion by beating Fitsimiaona, who wus nn doubtedlv the greatest lighter of tho k,re. " A k.llinj in Oatona. i asthma, N.

At daybreak Saturday a fores of 4.500 men. under (ienerals Lawton, Wheaton and Oven- shine, advanced from San Pedro Ma- cati, s weeping the bay of Manila and Manila. By noon - country between the Bay Lake, south of the country had been cleared almost to Faranaque. The Americans lost two officers killed end twenty-one soldiers wonnded. The rebels resisted desperately at the stronger of their positions and left 40 dead in the trenches. Many more wounded were left behind by the reb- 818 m lueir r6ireal- " auring , the day was overpowering, and there were many prostrations of American soldiers from that cause. - Gen. Law- ton's force consisted of two battalions each of the Twenty first and Ninth In fantry, six compaaies of the Colorado Volunteers, and a detachment of artil lery. The Nevada Cavalry was under General Wheaton, and the Thirteenth nlrir and a detachment of Light Artillery were under General Oven shine. It was scarcely dawn when tho troops, in a long, silent procession, wound up the hillside, behind the American trenches and formed a skirmish line. Concealed in the junglo, the advance rebel outposts fired a few shots before b? n: seen. The opposing forces occu pied two ranges of crescent Bhaped hills. The artilliery, the Colorado In fantry and the Nevada Cavalry swung around the hill top on the left, and opened the battle at 0:30 o'clock. The rebels made response from the hills, and the Colorada men cautiously ad vanced through the thick grass until they were confronted by a trench from which a few weak volleys were fired. A spirited response ioiiowea ana a charge into the trench, found it to be deserted. In the meantime part of tho Thir teenth aud Fourteenth Regiments formed in a skirmish line, extending a mile to the right, aDd supported by the rest of the regiments, swapt down the valley and up tho hillside, toward another trench. Approaching through the morass seriously hampered the Fourteenth and the rebels, taking ad vantage of this, poured a galling fire upon them for twenty minutes. The Fourteenth was twice compelled to withdraw for tho purpose of finding a safe crossing iu the swamps. Finally tho trench was on filed on both flanks lae rebels nut to the woods and bus tained sorcro loss.

Even Arbitration is to Fail. Washington, D. G," SpeciaL Ac cording to private advices reaching here ' from the Hague, there is grave danger that one aud all of the arbitration schemes before the conference will fail. It is said that Germany is markedly hostile to the arbitration principle and is making an active canvass to secure tho support of some of the second rate powers in her opposition. If this move ment is successful, even in a limited degree, it is feared that arbitration is doomed, so far as this conference is ! concerned, for to carry any weight and have practical results, the delegates ! must be nearly unanimous. A Billion Dollar Beer Trust.

Now, Dr. Hsalstl has soddenh discovered thst the negro is tL iui ing link the Lak that Darwin jnKl I or, but never found tho Ink ttiat completes the chsin that Wgins witl tho monkey, then with the bebliooo, then the ourangotsog, thru the gorills. then tue negro and lsit the wLite man. Therefore he says that the negro ha no sonl to save and it is folly to p'eact Christianity to him. I reckon thst the learned doctor is a yonnor man ot not passed middle age, or he would have known that this 1 btory of Lit is no new thirg no discovery, fi somo thirty years f to a scientist iu Tennessee asecrttd tho time thing and wrote a book on it and called it Ariel." The press says thst this theory of th learned doctor Las been boldly and publicly announced and has crested great excitement and inaignatioa among the Northern negroes. The miseing link his raised a howl arooud the doctor and he Lad belter not cir culate too loosely among them. It they are not human leings then, ol course, they are beasts and matt b looked after by the society for the pre vention of cruelty to animals. Tbi will very much cnlargi the busines of that society, and and we may look for a Northern wing of it to come down here to stop this lynching bai- ness. But if the negro is a brsst and baa no eoul to be aaved bis premature death would seem to be of less couse quence. So let tbo Pennsylvania row go on. I am clad that we are not in I it. I But I would like to get our darkey. I Bob Smith, after that German. Bob ia a smart negro and La a big month fall of pearly tetth that be shows on al! occasions, for Le loves fan and is alwjys ready fot a joke. Hit boea took great delight ia teasing Bol and one day aaid to him: "Bob, what are you niggers going to meeting eo moch for? You will lose yonr crop running up the cross roads every day to that nigger meeting. Don't you know that a nigger haseat got any eonl, to what good is going to mecten to do to yon? And Bob said, "Look here bows, you aay dat a nigger Latent got no soul? "Why, of course, not. I've cot it here printed in a book." "Well, now look here boss, has a white man got a eonl?" "Why, of course, Le La ' taid the toss. "Tho Bible tells you thst "Well, now, boss, tell m dia; if a bite man got a soul and a nigger aint got no eoul bow about a mo Lit ttr?" Bob was telling all this to me and when I asked what the boss aaid about the mulatto he laughed and aaid, "He was powerful sot back, I tell you He scratched Lis Lead and esy, W1L Le lowed as bow a mnlatter bad about half a acul," an J Bob laoghed im mensely. I wan rumination about this and I would like to bear ibe learned doctor expand it Will he aay that Fred Douglass and Booker Washington1 bavent got souls or will be say thai half a soul became incorporated iotc each by amalgamation? Where will be draw the color line? Has an Indian got a eoul? Hjw about a quadroon oi an octoroon or a IS to 1? How about the copper-colored tribes and the gin ger cakes that Livingston found ia Af rica and whom he declared to be al most the equals of the white race in moral perceptions and in kindness and courage? Then there are th dark' tkinnnd Moors and Ctatilliana. What is a negro anyhow ? When I was ia Tampa I visited a large cigar factory and saw 400 Cubans ia on long room all seated at their little desks rol.iog the leaf tobacco into smoking aba pes. They were of all haea in complexion iiom nearly wbite to nearly black. for their ancestors had been crossed and mixed in blood so often and long they had no racial color. How uiuch of a sonl did each one Lave? ind here are the Cbiaamen. who oavo not ruiied and are all of a c-1 n but are not white. Have tbey got Bonis? And there are the Japanese, and. last of all the Jews, wle are darker akin than the Aaglo-Saxon. If Adam and Eve were Jews then bare. we the cure whites got eoul?
