The Evcrhardt-AbbottMill Ends
in a Drr.wv
Another Twenty-five Round
Fiiriit at New Orleans.
BOTH END STRONG.
Everhardt the Better Man Bat
Couldii'tKnoek Out.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 25. The
entertainment commenced with a
friendly exhibition bout of four
rounds between Young- Griff o, the
Australian, ani Mike Dann. Griffo's
work was much appreciated by the
atidience, which numbered about 5,000.
The event of the evjning- was then
ennounced, and Jack Everhardt of
New Orleans and Si.a;iton Abbott of
England entered the riny to fig-ht for
a Si, 500 purse. The referee warned
the men in reference to fouls.
Everhardt was seconded by F.
S. Willis, J. J. Bats and
Sutherland Bros.; Abbott by John
Dunn, Billy Flimmer and Alf Robb
and Billy Chittenden.
For the first five rounds Everhardt
had all the b-st of the fiht. He
landed repeatedly on Abbott's jaw
and stomach. In the fourth round
the Eng-lishniaa was foug-ht to the
ropes, where they wire ordered to
break away. In the sixth round
Everhardt fot first blood.
Round Fifteen This was the hot
test round of the fl?ht, Everhardt
having- much the best of it. The Eng
lishman landed a rig-ht over the heart.
Hound Seventeen-Evsrhardt landed
several hard punches with the right
and had the best of the hitting-,
though in the eighteenth the men
broke even, Everhardt finding his op
ponent's face three times near the
close of the round.
Round Nineteen Nothing of im
portance was done in this or the twen
tieth rounds. Exchanges were even
but lig-ht.
The twenty-fifth round commenced
fast and furious, Everhardt landing
three rapid rights, whi;e Abbott held
his left glove in a partial clinch. The
men clinched repeatedly in this round
and were ordered to break, Ever
hardt was still the ag-gressor, forcing
Abbott around the ring. Both men
s-eemedvery strong. Eerhardt's left
landed frequently on Abbotts head,
and the Englishman clinched fre
quently to avoid punishment, and im
proved his previous record with Ever
hardt by fighting a dr.-w, which was
announced by Referee Duffy.
The ;rht was a fair oae throug-houfc
and Everhardt regainel his reputa
tion in this meeting Vy establishing
himself as a fair lighter. The well
known Police Captain William Barret
was in charge.
WHEAT CHOI' OF PRANCE.
Consul General Moras Forwards aa Im
portant Report Ircm Paris.
Washington", Sept. 23. Samuel E.
Morss, the consul ge ieral at Paris,
has sent to the state c epartment an
abstract of the official r jport on tbe
wheat erop in France for 1334. It is
estimated by tha French statistician,
says Mr. Morss, that the crops of 1S94
throughout the world will be 35 per
cent in excess of the world's demands
for consumption and seel. The annual
consumption of wheat in France is
estimated at from 118.000.000 to 125-,
000,000 hectolitres, an a nount in ex
cess of, if equal to the probable di
ruestic production for the current
year. On July 31 the ariount of im
ported wheat awaiting withdrawal
for consumption from the custom en
trepots was 559,620 heetos, so that
there will be a large surplus over the
probable demand forth; next twelve
months., even should ai-otht-r bushel
be not imported. It is mentioned
that in Belgium, Holltnd and the
United Kingdom, which admit wheat
free, the current prices are less than
in Paris.

THE PEARY EXPEDITION.
ra
Jtaltef Party sari Mrs. Fear anul
Itaby Beach Ffclladelpala.
PHrLADtLPiriA, Sept. 25. The littla
steamer Falcon, with the Peary re
lief party and members of the expedi
tion; on board, arrived y enter Ja after
noon. Long- before the vessel reached
her moorings thousand of people
had gathered at the wharves in the
vicinity to welcome the explorers. As
soon as the Falcon was tied to the
dock, Mrs. Pearj-, with her baby and
an Esquimaux girl, whom Mrs. Feary
brought witH her, were escorted
aboard a train for Washington, the
home of her mother. The brave little
woman showed plainly by her man
ner that she was much chagrined be
cause of her husband's determination
to remain in the Arctic regions. She
declares she is going nortn again
next summer and bring him back to
civilization if she has to drag him.
Commander Bryant, who had charge
of the relief party, says the expedi
tion was a great success.
"We made many valuable collec
tions, the ethnological specimens be
ing very rare. I think we have the
finest series of photographs of life
and scenes in the Arctic country that
were ever taken."
All on board were very reticent. It
is said an embargo has been placed on
their lips for five days or loader, and
it will' therefore be difficult to get in
formation about the trip.' It was in
timated by one of the men with
Peary that several wto came away
would have remained with the ex
plorer in the frozen .North but for the
scarcity of food.
When asked if it was true the ex
plorer and his party had been com
pelled to eat whale blubber, the men
declined to either couarm or deny the
story.
It is believed, however, that Peary
is threatened with a lack of food that
may become serious. The Falcon will
load with coal here and return im
mediately to St. Johns.
COLGATE'S BODY FOUND.
A Is and Thigh Hone AU That
TVai
Left of the Deserted Cook.
Missoula, Mont., Sept. 26. The
Missoulan contains a sens itional story
of the recovery and burial of the re
mains of George Colgate, deserved
cook of the notorous hunting party
headed by William A. Carl in, the son
of General Carlin, late commander of
the department of the Columbia.
The discovery was made about
August 23 by Lieutenant Elliott, eight
miles below the spot where the de
sertion occurred on the Clearwater
river. All that remained of Colgate's
body was a thigh bone and one leg,
and these were mangled and gnawed
by wild beasts infesting that region.
It is presumed the balance of the re
mains were carried away by the oni
inals into mountain fastnesses. At
the same spot alo was found the
match box, fishing lines and other
articles identified as Colgate's prop
erty. The remains were interred in Lower
Hot Springs, on the Mi id hi fork of
the Clearwater. Lieutenant Elliott
was sent out on this mission by the
present commander of the depart
ment of the Columbia, to which of
ficial he will make a full report,
there being many points ten'ding tc
prove Colgate's desertion was cow
ardly in the extreme.

BlS Cut in I aiwngor Rates.
Chicago, Sept. 2 . The Atchison
road has much disconcerted the other
Western lines by announcing its in
tention to make a S .T5 rate between
Chicago and Kansas City, tickets to
be on s lie from September 23 to Octo
ber 6, from Chicago, and from October
1 to October 3 for the retarn trip from
Kansas City. The action was taken
by the Atchison because the other
Western lines hare ngreed not to
make a Sf.'J5 rate from Chicago to St.
Louis and to confine cheap rates on
account of the St. Louis fair to terri
tory within 200 miles of St. Louis.

'DONE BY THE TARIFF.
TheiNew Law Causes Brazil to
Abandon Reciprocity.
Minister Mendonca Explains the
Notice of Abrogation.
HURTS TIIE1R SUGAR.
Reciprocity Treaty Gave Them a
United Sates Market.
Washington-, Sept. 26. The Brazil
ian government has given notice that
the reciprocity treaty between th e
United States and Brazil will be ab
rogated by Brazil on January 1 next
Minister Mendonca, the Brazilian
minister here, received cable d ireo
sions on Stmday to give the reqnis't
notice. The minister says authorities
in Brazil had notified United States
Minister Thompson at Rio of this ac
tion on Saturday. The treaty is the
principal one negotiated by Secretary
Blaiae under the reciprocity provis
ions of the McKinley law.
Senor Mendonca said: "Brazil's
action is a necessary sequence to the
enactment of the new tariff law by
the united Estates, and there is no
significance in the action of my
country beyond its aoing- its part
towards the termination of a treaty
which the tariff law itself abrogates.
Brazil has acted, however, in strict
conformity to the original agree
ment embodied in notes between
Mr. Blaine and myself, ex
changed when the treaty was
made. They gave either country the
privilege of renouncing the treaty oa
July or January 1 of any given year
by giving three months' notice. The
tariff law served to abrogate the
treaty without notice to Brazil, but
our government saw fit to give the
full three months' notice. The effect
is to make the new tariff rates exist
against Brazilian exports since Au
gust, while the reciprocity rates for
American goods will remain until
January in Brazil."
Mr. Mendouca was asked as to the
effect of the change on trade.
"The reciprocity treaty w'orked
very well," he said. "It was chiefly
beneficial to Brazil in sugar. Prior
to it our sugar had only the domestic
market, but the reciprocity treaty
gave us the united States market,
and, as a result, our sugar trade to
this country has tripled in the last
three years. It promised even greater
increase when the full benefit of the
reciprocity treaty was understood.
The coffee trade, which was another
main item, will not be affected by the
change. On the part of the United
States the reciprocity treaty gave ad
vantages to this country on manufac
tured iron goods, railroad supplies,
lard and agricultural products."
!oney for Moving Crops.
Washin-gtox, Sept. 20. Since the
work of moving crops in the South
imd West the treasury department
has been called upon to supply thesa
sections with large quantities of sil
ver dollars. Silver dollars have be
come known in the treasury as crop
dollars because of the extra demand
for them made at this time of year.
This year the demand is heavy, indi
cating, it is thought, an, unusually
heavy crop both in the South and
West. In the West silver and gold
ttre asked for in preference to silver
certificates or treasury notes. In tha
South the uniform demand is for sil
ver. Settled Oat of Court.
Chicago, Sept. 26. The charge of
forgery against Caroline Ellsworth,
daughter of the Milwaukee million
aire, Isaac Ellsworth, was nolle
pross.?d yesterday. Miss Ellsworth
was charged by several Chicago mer
chants with obtaining goods by
forged checks. The case is said to
have been settled outside of court by
the girl's father. Miss Ellsworth,
who is highly educated and refined in
appearance, is said to have been ar
rested on similar charges in Kansas
City and other places.
Run Down by a I'ais.DCor Train.
Paola, Kan., Sept 26. The 8-ye ar
cld son of Henry Overbeck, while
crossing the Gulf track near the city
limits, was run down by a' passenger
train. His leg was broken in two
places an. 1 he received injuries about
tue heal. He is not expected to re
cover. WAS "HIS 31 AUK" FORGED?
Alex Garrett Says He rer Signed the In
formation Against Jointist Campbell.
A motion for a new trial in the case of
Bjb Campbell, who was convicted ou
seven counts of selling liquor, waa argued
in the did.ric-t court yesterday afternoon
by his attorney, Charles Fenaky. The
motion was taken under advisement by
Judge Hazen.
The moiion ia some respects is a re
markable one, being backed by a charge
of forgery to the original information. In
sub&tautiation of his motion Mr. Fensky
had Alex Garrett placed on the 6taad.
Garrett ia tue colored man whose name
was attached to the information on which
Campbell waa arrested.
Garrett stated that if his name, or rath
er his mark, waa on the document, it was
a forgery, for he never signed the docu
ment to hia knowledge. He staled that
Jim McCoy, a colored spotter, had given
him the money to buy liquor from Ben
Jordan. He bought it of Jordan and not
of Campbell. He a'.gned an information
against Jordan, he says, but not against
Campteil. The people in the sheriU'a
oice laugh at Garrett's denial, and say
he is talking through hia hat.
Mr. C. A. Goodwin has opened up a
rental agency at 625 Kansas avenue.
This is the only exclusive rental agency

A TINT REPUBLIC.
Its NoUoa to a Big Oae to Mind Zta Own
XXaainaaa.
Special Correspondence.
Paris, Sept. 11. The message re
ceived tha other day by the republio of
Franco, the largest in Europe, from the
republic of Andorra, the smallest in the
world, waa a surprising thing. It was
instigated by a Spanish, prelate and pos
sessed other qualities than that of being
a surprise. It was amusing and at the
eame time significant, and while it can
not be said to have been important in
the sense that would attach to such a
communication if Andorra were a larger
etate, yet there is likely to be consider
able diplomatic correspondence before
the lust word is heard about it.
The republic of . Andorra has" a popu
lation of but 9,000 souls, and it is be
cause of its numerical insignificance,
coupled with the unique physical char
acteristics of its location and territory,
that it has been able to preserve a vir
tual independence since the time of the
"emperor with the long beard," Charle
magne, who gave it its autonomy. It is
situated in a narrow, secluded vale,
high up in the Pyrenees, that noble
range that divides .France from Spain.
All about it are high rocky mountain
walls, which at points rise into impos
ing pine clad peaks, that stand watch
and ward over the handful of men and
women who live and toil below. Over
the territories of France and Spain the
red tide of war has surged back and
forth. Waged between the two fiery na
tions, it has reached across the range
more than once, but through it alL
when thrones have crumbled and dynas
ties have changed, Andorra has been at
peace.
Its people, eimple in their Ijves,
primitive in their thought, have been
content to let the outside world worry
and fight, while they have attended to
their own small affairs. As in matters
of war, so it has been in mental and
material things. Andorra has slept
while the world has rnshed by, and
the Aiidorrans of today transact their
affairs, eat, elerp and clothe themselves
as did their ancestors of hundreds of
years ago. Only at rare intervals has
tbe outside world even remembered that
there was an Andorra, and then it has
almost always been only because some
writer of books or maker of picture hrs
Bought out the vale and made known
some of the quaint things there and no
whero else existing outside the realm of
fancy.
Although possessing autonomy with
regard to internal affairs, certain of An
dorra's outside matters have always
been controlled by a sort of joizit
suzerainty between Franco and Spain,
the former's control being direct,
while that of Spain has been through
the bishop of Urgel. It is ho who
put up the Andorrans to send the
message spoken of, wherein Franco waa
notified that in future she must ceaso to
mind the affairs of her Bmall neighbor.
Its people feel now, they eay, that with
the bishop's help they can get along
very well aloue. Two or three years ago
this same bishop of Urgel declared that
no telegraph wire could pass over Andor
ran territory, for he held the telegraph
to be an invention of satan. Just how
this mutter turned out I do not remem
ber, and perhaps few others outside
those directly interested do either, for
hurrying men of affairs have morrf im
portant matters to think and worry and
talk about. The bishop's authority, it
will be observed, is well nigh as great
as that of a monarch, nnd it is quite
likely that he controls the elections. In
that case ho is as much cf a boss as even
waa Mr. Croker of New York, of whom
Paris has heard recently. The bishop's
influence and that of his predecessors,
however, must have always been salu
tary, for we are told that crime has
been unknown in Andorra eince the
close of the seventeenth century. The
people still speak with something Jlike
awe of the last instance. It was the out
come of a love affair and was not a very
heinous offense.
Lawsuits seem to be almost as rare
as crime, and there are but two notaries
in all Andorra. They receive small fees
for thfir services, but all other public du
ties are performed gratuitously. AH able
bodied adult male Andorrans are nomi
nally members of the army, so that the
republic has quite a military force, but
its martial duties are light, for the last
recorded engagement occurred more than
1,000 years ago. The etate is governed
by a select council of 24 members, elect
ed each year, and a president, chosen
for life from among the oldest and wis
est men. From this it will appear that
great respect is paid to age. This is ren
dered more apparent even by the fact
that the oldest member of each family
is its nominal and actual head and is
obeyed implicitly by all the others. It
is to be hoped that the recent action of
the council in cutting loose from France
will not tend to destroy the almost
ideal and wholly quaint customs and
life of the people of the tiny state.
Baron Sartor.
The Xew Guoa Are Dangerous.
Some interesting articles have been
published by The Vossisehe Zeitung on
the small caliber guns and the research
es of various professors as to the effect
of wounds made by these guns at differ
ent distances effects that are horrible.
The conclusion is that in any future
battles there will be incomparably more
dead and severely wounded than ever
before in the world's history. And as
the new guns shoot far the treatment of
the wounded on the battlefield and
their transport to the hospitals will be
much more slow, difficult and danger
ous. '
Angry at World's Tair Officials.
The British exhibitors are complain
ing bitterly that the medals of honor
awarded at the Chicago fair have not
been received yet. One of them writes
to the London Times that he has been
informed that they have not even been
designed yet He affirms that he is un
able to get any information from the
British commissioner ox the fair ofSciala.
