_\Iatty Matthews and Charley McKeever
lliave signed' nrUcles that assure the
lovorts of boxing a slashing bout when
they meet at the Industrial Club, Phila
tdelphla, to-mori-ow night. Tthey have
agreed to box strlct Maiquis of Queens
berry rules and hit with one arm free.
At this stylo the men are past-masters
. of the flstlc art. AVhile both are clever
at long range, they nre at their very
liest nt close range.
McKe-ver and Matthews are bitter
rivals. Both are training faithfully for
the mill, M?cK<*evcr in <particular being
Jiard at it. The contest in every way
promises to be the befct of the season.
11 will be pruceded by four evenly-matched
jirellmlnary contesta. The seml-wind-up
will be between Harry Burke and Elwood
McCloskcy. Tom O'Hara and Jack Rice
will apjiear ln tho openlng contest, and
will be followed by KJd Kimble und Eddle
-McCaffrey and Fighting Joe Allen and'
_*.'George jilchardson, of Buffalo.
' Before the finnl event of the last series
of races for the America's Cup was sall
?d it was statod -that Sir Thomas Lipton
would come agaln to try tfor the coveted
?trophy, and that -he might be expected
?_n 1901. So far. everj-thlng points to the
itruth of that statement. The New York
Tacht Club has received unofficial no?
tice that Sir Thomas expected to chal
iSenge again, and the formal cliallcnge
may be oxpected about September of this
year, tfor lt Is very evldent that this time
tbe races will be held earlier ln the sea

There.ls just as much chance for wlnd
off New York or Newport in July as ln
October, and much less chance of *fog or
bad weather. Newport ls mentioned be?
cause It would not bo at all surprislng
lf some attempt was made to hold the
,ncjitrs-orie8 of events off that port True,
Sir Thomas is on record as favorins
?S3ndy Hook again, and precedcnt is
against holding the matches at any port
other than New Vork; still. in one case
?the cup committee offered a challcngcr
the cholce between New Tork and New?
port waters. and lt might not be impos
slblc that thc same thing should be done
agaln, especially as the trial races la_t

why he E-iould not conUmie in the navy

not necessarlly mean an election. These
are known to b'e his views on this sub?

"Admiral Dewey will not be nominated

Christian and Princess Henry of Batten
berg.
Bamds broke loose, men cneered and
sang haro-headod. and the women waved
handkerchiefs. Beside the Quecn's car
r'lage rode the Duke of Connauffht, com?
mander of the forces in Ireland.
The Queen scarcely ceased nodding
during the entire nlne-mlle drlve. Prin?
cess Christian also took h prominent part
ln the ceremony, helplng the Queen to
take the sword. keys and casket con
tainirig the address. for, despite her abil
itv to go through these functlons. it was
evident that this tiny old lady of eighty
was really very frail and weak.
DAZZLING ESC'ORT.
After the Lady Mavoress had presented
a bouquet lo the Queen the procession
moved on. Behind her Majesty came a
dazzling escbrt of staff officers, more
Life Guards and Drasoons. and linally
ihe Inniskillings. who were loudly cheered
as they moved into lino. lt was a pa
gean't such as never had been seen in
ireland before. Deafenliig and continu?
ous cheers marked every stage of the
route. Trinity Coilege was almost hid?
den by stands. which were black with
people and flaming with fiags and fes
toons.
At the Vicc-Rcgal Lodge Earl and
Countess Cadegan, who had taken a spc?
cial train back from ICihgtown, welcomed
the Sovereign to tlieir Irish residence.
At the entrance to the city the Queen
received ari address of welcome and
handed the i_ord Mayor thc following
reply:
"I thank you heartlly for thc Ipyal wel?
come and. good wlshes whieh you have
tendered me on behalf of yourself and
your fellow-oitizens pri my arrival in the
ancient capital of my Irish dominion. I
came to this fair country to seek a change
and rest, and to revisit scehes which re
call to my mind the warm welcome given
to both myself and my beloved husband.
1 am deeply gratlfipd that I have been
able at this time to see a-*aln the Mother

ever in their glorlous past. 1 pray tliat

Tuesday. April 3d:
"Colonel Portcr. wlth nine'ty Carbineers
and Sccts G-reyis, and two guns, per
foronbdi a brilliant deed Sunday. He
charged a large .body of Boers and res
cued SO odd British prisoners. including

on the British side." i
MOVE FAILED.
Colville aml Fronch Reliirn to Bloent
fonlcin.
LONDON, April 4.?General Colville anu
General French have given up the move?
ment against the Bocrs east of Bloem
fontein, and have rejoiried the main army.
lt doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts a
vain thing to send from 10.000 to Ll.Oe.
of his best troops intG the wilderru-ss,
with a field transport, in the diroction
at a right ang'e with his chosen line of
advance. The Boers have probably
moved elsewherc, and, If to the southwest;
General Colville could as easily strike
them from iBloemfontein as by following
lht.ni up across lhe plalns.
These inferences still leave the situation
bowildering for the time being. The
enorinously superior Briiish forces appear
inactivo iu every part of the war-iield.
The London military commentators
and tho public. to some. extent. are irri
tated and confused by the situation.
CALLED A TRA1TOR.
Details received of the sccnes on Green
Market Square. Cape Town, Tuesday.
when Premier Schreiner encpuntered an
Eiiglisn irtemonstration, show that the
Premleri fearlng personal violence, sought
refuge in a resu.urant.
He was hcoted, and tried to reach Par
liameht House. protected by police. The
people shouted "Traitbr," but he suc?
ceeded in reaching the house. Finally,
on the people again singing "God Save
the. Queen," he raised liis hat amid cheers,
anu was heard to say, "Reserve your
judgment."
The permanent bridge at the Modder
River Station has been finished. The
lirst train passed over it Tuesday.
The British garrison nt S_>rtngfonteIn
was roused at midnieh-t Monday iby t'ne.
