1,200 People Drowned I I — GREAT FLOODS IN MEXICO. I Women and Children Swept to Death. MEXICO CITY, Sunday. Disastrous floods have been caused in Nor- thern Mexico by the overflow of the Santa Catarina River. There has been heavy loss of life, and the property destroyed is valued at millions of dollars. Part of Monteray has been swept away, the deaths there being estimated at 300. Many bridges and hun- dreds of miles of railway track have been carried away in the States of Nuevo Lion a.nd Coahuila, and the telegraphic service throughout Guanajuato, Coahuila, Vera Oruz. Nuevo Lion, and Tamaulipas is crippled. An Associated Press dispatch from Mon- terey places the loss of life at 800, and states that 15.000 have been rendered homeless. The I loss of property it estimates at £ 2,400,000, including the Monterey Steel Company ( £ 200,000) and ttj, Mexico Smelter and Lead Company (L600,O). The floods continue. Half the city is now under water. The suburb of San Luisito is entirely d,-stroyed.-P--uter. 400 BODIES RECOVERED Laredo (Texas), Tuesday.—With the partial re-establishment of communications, confirm- ation has been received of the reports of heavy loss of life and damage to property in Mexico by floods.. Semi-officials despatches &ay that 400 bodies had been recovered at Mo.nteray before noon to-day. Seventeen and a half inches of rain fell on Friday, Satur- (',aY, aitd Sunday, and the river touched the highest point ever recorded, even reaching the Plaza Zargoza, the most elevated point of the city. On Sunday the municipality fed 5,000 homeless with bread, oof fee, and soup, but many remain on the south side of the river out of reach, and throughout the day bodies were remmedfrom the debris in the path of the ficod. Five hundred have so far been recovered. The greatest, loesses occurred on Saturday morning, when the laa-ge buildings on the south side began to crumble and fall. Many of the roofs were crowded with 100 or 200 people, all of whom disappeared. Ninety women and ohiidren were drowned in d school house on the south side, in which they had taken refuge, buit the water rose rapidly and drove them from room to room until all were clustered on one roof. Whiibe two priests were blessing them the walls caved in, a.nd all perished. Thousands staiwliMig on the north bank saw the unfortunate people swept to their death, a,nd unable to assist owing to the rapid rush of waters, which were flowing at the ra-te of twenty mides per hour. The main wa/tea- supply is broken, and the city is without drinking wateT, and the tramways are aban- doned. and the electric light out off. Rail- way officials flay weeks must elapse before trains can enter the city. The. city authori- ties are endeavouring to care for those in want, but heLp must be sent from o-Litiside.- Reuter. 1,200 DEAD. New York, Monday.—The following telegram has been received from Mo,llítera.y: -Twelve hundred or more are dead and 1,500 home- lees, while damage to the extent of 20,000,000 dollars has been done as the result of Satur- I day's flood. The water of the Santa Catarina River has fallen, and the danger has now pa.ssed.-R.euter.

£ 250,000 WEDDING GIFT I A wedding gift of 1250,000 was given by Mr. James N. Jarvie, a banker, of Mont- I clair. New Jersey, to his sister, Miss May Scott Jarvie. Mr. Jarvie was married on Saturday to Miss Helen Newton, and departed immediately on a trip to Egypt, En-gland, and Sootland. The princely gift with which the wedding was commemorated was made to a sister who had devoted her life to superin- tending the bachelor home of the. bride-

I HEROISM IN THE PIT I DIGGING MEN FROM THE SUMP I CANDIDATE FOR THE KINC'S MEDAL I Thrilling Penygraig Rescue Story I The lamentablb ca.ge accident at the 'Ely Colliery, Penygraig, last Friday morning resulted in the death on Sunday morning of I JAMES VAUGHAN. another of the injured men-Harry Marshall, Williamstown-who had sustained a fracture to the base of the skull. This makes the list of killed up to seven. The other victims are making progress. Two other men have bee.n admitted into the Porth Cottage Hospital for treatment—John Jones, Brook-street, Penygraig, and Joseph Latcham. The two are suffering from very bad fractures of the legs, but it is not ex- pected that amputation will be necessary in either case, as both are reported to be get- ting on nicely, as well as the other three taken there on Friday. Interview with Vaughan Seen by a representative of the Evening Express," James Vaughan, 1, Alfred-street, Williamstown, who showed such presence of mind in the work of rescue, said he was 33 years of age, and had been employed at the Ely Colliery for fift-ce-n years, thirteen as a hitchlr. When the accident occurred he was at the ian handle at the bottom of the pit waiting for the cage to descend. It came down at the ordi- nary rate until about ten yards from the landing. Then all at once it dashed down into the sump. A moment after the crash the other bond came down, a portion of it falling on top of the one in the benp. I can hardly describe what followed," added Vaughan. "Men were crying out piteously for help. All was in darkness, but I succeedcd in handing down some lamps, not without, however, the greatet difficulty. In an instant all was commotion, and I set to work with other men to extricate the sufferers in the upper deck of the cage, then pulled up the tram road and planks to get to the lower deck, and got the men out through two beams. Phil Pascoe and Dan Davies, though injured themselves, lent valuable aid, and fainted from their exer- tions. Being so well acquainted with the bottom of the pit, I may have been the means of saving life. The great danger to myself was from fragments of sheaves Jailing down. D. Lewis and Steve Davies were sitting down, having descended in the previous bond, to accustom their eyes to the darkness. They rendered invaluable assist- ance in getting the victims out. Splendid work was done by the ambulance men con- nected with the pit, together with Mr. Trevor Price, assistant agent, Mr. Hallister, manager, and Mr. Henry Evans, under- manager. I shall never forget the awful and agon- ising screams of the poor fellows. The five men who were killed outright presented a ghastly sight, being shockingly injured, and it made us quail as we handed them out from the broken bond. Throughout the operations pieces of different material, loosened by the falling cage, were coming down with great force, and we bad some narrow escapes from being struck. As each injured man was extricated he was promptly sent on a stretcher to the surface. Most of those who were taken from the bottom deck had their legs badly broken, and were in great pain, their groans being agonising to hear." "Are you a married man?" Yes, and my wife was, naturally, very anxious about me, but, although I suffered from the shock, I do not feel any ill-effects so far. During the work of rescue I was kept up by the efforts put forward, but when the painful task was completed my nerves g-ave way a little, and I have not been able to sleep much, but the feeling, I am glad to say, is wearing off.' The Inquest The inquest on the victims will be opened at Nazareth Chapel Vestry this (Monday) after- noon at 2.15. There will be a joint inquiry before Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, Abeiare, and Mr. D. Rees, coroner, Pontypridd. To-day, it is proposed to take only evidence of identification, and the inquiry will then be adjourned to a date convenient to all the parties concerned for fuller investigation. It is now expected that work will be resumed at the pit early this week. Sympathy from Merthyr I The Merthyr District of Miners at their monthly meeting on Saturday passed a vote of condolence with the families bereaved by the disaster and of sympathy with the injured men.

ILLNESS OF MR. JOHN CORY I Mr. John Cory passed a very restless day yesterday, ajid was rather delirious. Conse- quently, Dr. Brierley remained at Duffryn last night, but Mr. Cory's condition improved, and he is slightly better to-day, aJthough rather weak.

U.S. SQUADRON FOR JAPAN I The squadron which Rear-admiral Sebree will take to the Philippines, China, and Japan is in readiness to start. The vessels are taking in stores at present, and will leave Ran Francisco early this week. The squadron is composed of eight battleships—'the Colorado. Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia. South Dakota, Washington, California, and Tennessee. They are the most modern and up-to-date of the American battleships, and are expected to give a good impression, espe- cially in Japan. The squadron, which will be absent between eight and nine months, will devote one month to target practice and manoeuvring at Manila. Only a part of the chips will go to China, but the entire squadron will visit Japan. Admiral Sebree bears a cordial message from President Taft to the Emperor of Japan.

A RESTFUL HOLIDAY. A young man of Eachenford, Devon, walked nine miles to Tiverton Statt?n, arriving :1 1 two a m on Saturday morning, waited till four a.m., and left by train for London. He spent all Saturday tramping about the metropolis, took train back at one a.m. yes- terday morning, got back to Tiverton about five o'clock, and waJked nine miles home.

CAKE-WALK TO THE CELLS Catherine Collins (37) once more appeared at Cardiff Police-court to-day to answer a charge of disorderly conduct in Bridge-street. Inspector Bingham said she had been before the court 100 times, thirteen of which were this year. She was fined 10s. and costs, or fourteen days, and once again demonstrated her terpsichorean skill by doing a clever cake-walk to the cells.

POLICE-OFFICER AS COSTER The etory of an ingenious police disguise wAs related at Lambeth on Saturday, when George Hudson, aged 31, described as a. dealer, was fined JE30 and costs for keeoping and using a yard for betting purposes. A police- sergeant who was engaged in keeping obser- vation on the yard said that each day be drove a donkey barrow as cloee as the yard as possible to see what was happening. He made his notes on the barrow. Defendant: said that he had done a little betting in the street for the loet two months, but had never used the yard for beotting purjxvses. It was stated for the police, however, that one officer saw 206 persons enter the yard, and another 193, on certain days, defendant receiving slips and money from a large number of persons. Many of the slips, it was said, referred to sixpenny bets. The magistrate said he had nothing to say to defendant except that the case was too plain for words.

RACES IN THE AiR!, I More Records Broken AMERICA WINS CORDON-BENNETT CUP There was a great influx of visitors for the aerial races at Rheims on Saturday, as the programme included, from an international point of view, the principal event of the meeting This was the first contest for the Gordon-Bennett Aviation Cup, which, follow- ing the lines of the Gordon-Bennett motor races, was open to teams of three from any country. Only France, however, was in a position to nominate a full team, America and England having but cne representative each. The competitors had been selected as follows: I FRANCE. Competitor Machine. Motor. Lefebvre Wright Biplane Wright. Bleriot.Bleriot Moroplane E.-N .V. Latham. Antoinette M'plane.Antoinette. AMERICA. Ourtiss.Herring Curtiss Biplane.Curtiss. ENGLAND. Cockburn Farman Biplane Gnome. Curtiss was the first to start in the Gordon- Bennett race. The distance was two laps, or 20 kilometres. He covered his first circuit in 7min. 57 2-5sec., and the full distance in 15min. 50 3-5 sec. He, therefore, covered his second round in 7min. 53 l-5scc., which was faster than the record which he had made earlier in the day. Curtiss's performance was not beaten, the three French representa- tives being next in order, and the Englishman failing to complete the course. The cup, value LiO, and the money prize of £ 1,030, therefore, went to America. The result was as follows:- Psn. Competitor. Nation. Time. 1. Ourtiss America. 15min. 50 3-5sec. 2. Bleriot France. 15min. 56 l-5sec. 3. Latham France 17min. 32 sec. 4. Lefebvre Mr. Henry Farman, bolder of the world's records for distance and duration, accom- plished rem.arkable performance by cover- ing a lap, with two passengers up, in lOmin. 39sec. Englishman's Machine Wrecked Mr. Cockburn had done about a quarter of the course and was flying fairly low so as to lose no speed in rising and falling move- ments, when a sudden gust of wind-the beginning of a much fresher breeze, as it afterwards proyro-s.wept down upon him. His machine reeled. With rapid movement of his levers he attempted to restore equilibrium, but the falling movement was too quick for him. The machine sloped awkwardly towards the ground. Despite his efforts he made a hod descent, breaking a propeller and doing other minor damage. England was out of the great, content. Soon after this disaster M. Lefebvre rose gracefully and literally fought with the wind. It was a forlorn hope. His per- formance was splendid, but the wind checked speed sadly. The time of his first round was flashed to ilio press box. jt was sovefal seconds too long to approach winning speed. On the second round he forced his engine to utmost speed, in an attempt to win bvcl. the premier position for France. He sped twice round the course without a faltering movement, but his speed seemed to be much less than that of Mr. Curtiss. This proved to be the case by his official time, for he took five mintites longer on the two cir- ouits than the American flying man. i ?- Iran. I Beaten by Five Seconds I At 5.30 the competition must, according to the rules, be brought to an end. The wind was still strong at five o'clock. M. Latham was driven up and down by the wind, and he went round the course tw.-(3 with his machine occasionally a,t a peri]- angle. The wind was all against him. Mr Curtiss had flown almost in a calm. Directly after the American flag hoisted over the timekeeper's box indicated an American victory. Mr. Curtiss was hurried in a motor-car to the private entrance of the grand stand, where he wao presented to the American Ambassador. The latter congratu- lated him cordially. Mrs. Roosevelt, who was alfo present, complimented the Ameri- can aviator, too. BETHENY, Saturday. Mr. Norton Griffiths, of the Aero Club of Great Britain, stated in the course of an interview that the Rheims meeting had undoubtedly demonstrated the extraordinary advance made in aeroplaning. Less risk attached to it than to motor racing, and from the spectator's point "of view it was amazingly thrilling. The aeroplane fever would rapidly spread throughout Europe, and within a year, if he estimated rightly, there would probably be seme ten thousand flying machines in operation. Mr. Griffiths added that, in his opinion, the SIO,000 prize for a London to Man- chester flight could easily be won this year. The Bleriot machine was the one with the minimum risk, and that of M. Latham was next b&st. He recommended the taking of immediate steps to organise a flying Derby in England.—Central News. Accident to BETIIENY, Sunday. M. Bleriot met with a serious accident this morning whilst competing for the speed prize. Starting off well, he soon attained a high speed, and had completed the second circuit of the course when the aeroplane was seen suddenly to point earthwards, and a few seconds later crashed to the ground. M. Bleriot escaped from instant death by nothing less than a miracle. It would appear that it was the sudden stoppage of the motor which caused the disaster, and the shock hurled him from his seat when the machine was some 80ft. from the earth. When he was picked up, however, it could net be discovered that any bones were broken. Burning petrol had badly injured one of his hands, and lie complained of severe internal pain. The unfortunate aeroplaniet, with wnoin widespread sympathy is expressed, was removed from the grounds in an ambulance.—Central News. Fine Flight in England Mr. S. F. Cody surpassed all his previous aeroplane records on Saturday evening by making a flight of eight miles in 9! minutes. In all he made four flights. In the first he covered four and a half miles on Lafran's Plain in five minutes, making eight turns. In his second flight he took his chief engineer up. covering the plain and Cove Common in four minutes. In his third flight he took another workman, doing equally well. Then, after filling up the radiators with water, he made a long night by himself. He flew over Laffan's Plain at a height of about I 40ft., and, rising steadily all the time, crossed the Basingstoke Canal at Puckridge Hill, and went over Claycart Common, on to the Long Valley. This he flew to its full length to Jubilee Hill, rounded the hilltop, and flew to Long Hill, diagonally across the Long Val- ley, and crossed the canal again at Lelmoor Hill. The machine had mounted by this time to a height of over 100ft. abdve lelmoor Hill, on which was a crowd of f3pectators, j who cheered as the aviator passed high over their heads. He made another complete cir- cuit of Laffan's Plain before coming to rest a few yards from his ehed, so accomplishing the finest flight yet seen in England.

Triumph for Zeppelin I DIRIGIBLE SAILS OVER BERLIN I Berlin suffered a keen disappointment on I Saturday in the failure of the dirigible balloon, Zeppelin III., to carry out the pro- jected flight from Friedrichshafen to the Prussian capital. The cause of the failure was the carrying away of a propeller, ill addition to head winds. I The necessary repairs having been effected, Count Zeppelin resumed his journey on Sunday. The count reached the capital with- out further mishap, and received a tremen- dous welcome from hundreds of thousands of people. B F. P L l' BERLIN, Sunday, 1.20 p.m. Exactly at half-past twelve Zeppelin III. f appeared over the Tempelhofer Feld. The huge airship dipped its prow several times in salute to the Emperor, while the bells of churches rang, and hundreds of thousands of spectators who thronged the parade-ground, streets, and roofs of houses sent up a roar of welcojpe cheers. The Zeppelin III. then described a wide circle towards the Kreuzberg, and returned to the spot where the Emperor stood, over which it carried out a series of turns and other evolutions. The weather was magni- ficent. Shortly after arriving at the castle Count Zeppelin, who was attired in a lounge suit, just as he had stepped from the ca.r of the airship, a.nd three of his companions lunched with the Emperor and Empress. During the meal the Emperor drank the health of each of the aeronauts individually. The Emperor subsequently appeared repea«tedly at one of the windows of the castle with Count Zeppelin. Frantic cheors were raised by the enormous crowds assembled in the great square, and patriotic songe were sung. The wo.rk of mooring the airship on the Tegel shooting range w" performed without a hitch, and the public were admitted to the range.—Reuter. Two Propellers Broken Friedrichshafen, Monday. Zeppelin III came down at seven o'clock this morning at Buelzig, near Wittemberg, owing to a defect A telegram has been received here from Herr Duorr, the chief engineer, requesting tie despatch of men with repairing material to Buelzig. The repairs will take about two days to effer-t.-Reute- Berlin Monday. It is authoritatively stated that Zeppelin Ill. has broken two of its fore propellers, part of which pierced the 'peIS. caaifiin& the gaacto- escape.—Reuter.. < y-.

FOOTBALL CRISIS. I Attitude of Players I The Aston Villa players have all signed the following document:—" We, the undersigned players of the Aston Villa Foot- ball Club, hereby declare that we have not joined the Players' Union, nor is it our inten- tion to do so, unless sanctioned by the Foot- ball Association, but intend to remain loyal 'I to the club and play when required, relying on the club to continue their efforts l io obtain the removal of the wages restrictions." At a meeting of the players of the Leices- ter Fosse Football Club it was unanimously decided to remain loyal to the club and Foot- ball Association. It was declared they were not averse to joining the Players' Union if it was conducted in accordance with the rules of the Football Association. A meeting of players in the employ of the Manchester Unitet Football Club was held in Manchester on Saturday, en the invitation of the secretary, to consider the effect of the resolution passed at Birmingham. They were told that it had been decided that if a player belonged to the Union he must be treated as a suspended player and pay refused. The pbyers sjiid they would like it to be tho- roughly understood that they had no grievance whatever with the club. They had always been the best of friends with the officials, and they were quite happy, but they were fightin,- for wha-r they beloved to be a j just principle, and, therefore, they intended j to retain their membership of the Players' Union. The Middlesbrough players, sympathising with the Manchester United men, have decided to stand by the Players' Union. Prior to this decision they had intended to remain loyal to the Football Association, although they claim to have been hardly treated by that body on more than one occasion. At a meeting in Manchester on Sunday night 200 League players in Lancashire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire threw in their lot with the Players' Union. Rhymney Valley Leagues Amalgamate j Mr. T.

The get of Woolarthoa-pe, the late Prince Soitykoff's Mcli-known speedy son of T:b, thorpe—Light of Other Days, have won no fewer than 139 races this season in the Unit-ed States. The old horse stands third on the li-.t of winning stallions to Yankee and Llaudit. Both these last have Himyar in their pedigrees, Yanik-ee being by Hanover cut of one of Himyar's daughters, while Plaudit is by Himyard out of Sir William Throckmorton's English-bied mare Cin- derella, by Blue Ruin or Tomahawk. Cin- derella. was sold to go to the States in her young days for about 21.. and produced Hastings as well as Plaudit. The first- named of these is likewise a successful sire. The most interesting event of the present week is the Peveril of the Pe-nk Plater to be run at Derby on Thursday. The withdrawal 01 both Sir ?Archibald and PI isci:lian has necc&gitaled the raising of the weights, and Pt M?chan now heads the list with 9?_t t his best the Irishman is a good horse, but on his most recent form he does not appear to have been backed with much leniency, a,nd his claims may on this occasion be parsed over. Miesko has been shaping well in his gallops, and looks like a runner. Of Joyner's pair Perseus III. is to be preferred. Of the Newmarket lot Maud Mackintosh a.nd Duke of Sparta are the like- liest, and unless something transpires in the coursd of the next few days in rough or test gallops to alter present opinions MAUD MACKINTOSH should be returned the winner. Of the Nurseries to be decided this week. the Devonshire is the most imp<M'ta:?. and tbe: aucop? of WILD GORSE may be a.n..icip.ated. CILL DARA, in the Oatsworth SeJiing Plate, and FLYING THOUGHTS, in the Hartrngton Plate, are both considered ta represent reasonably good business. The following horses may be recommended in addition t-o the above: — SHAMPOO. GENERAL LEE. I TIP AND RUN. ROOGIE KNIGHT. I ULRIQUE FILLY. SERAPHINE. I COLLEGIAN. WOODHALL. I

FIGHT IN A CELL! Women's Hair-tearing Tussle An extraordinary case came before the Cardiff magistrates to-day. Annie Evans 127) wa.s before the court on a charge of bad language in Millicent-street, and Cordelia Swaffin (42), who was brought up for bad language in Crichton-street, was further- charged with assaulting- Annae Evans whilst in o cell. Police-const able Joseph Sparkes related the charge against Annie, who dis- played a terrible black eye and cried. She was lined 10s. or seven days. The evidence of Acting-detective Harding against Swaffin was very similor, and Annie Evans then said that whilst taken to the cells Swaflin caught ber by the hair and pulled her to the fioor. Witness saidElle was no fighter, though she was often in gaol. Swaffin declared that Annie was using "terrible language" in the cell. Police-constable Sidney Jones said the pair became friends after fighting. Each was pulling the other by the hair, and he sepa- rated them, swaffin was fined 2Cs. and costs or a month.

LOCAL SPORT I Sir,—I was very pleased to see the remarks of Spokes in Saturday's "Evening Express'' re Davies a.nd Day e handicap at Pontypridd last Monday, and I am at one with the writer in his remarks. Why not run the half-mile handicap next Saturday in one heat, seeing that there is a half-mile provided for? I feel sure if the scratoh men had the choice they would have it in one heat. I purpose being present on Saturday next, and probably would have been a competitor but for the fact that the balf-mile will be run in heats. j I trust the Pontypridd syndicate will be pre- va,il-ed upon to make one heat of ifT and so give many sportsmen aji opportunity of at least seeing one final in the big meeting, as doubtless there are many, like myself, who cannot be present both days. Trusting th %t it is not too late to arrange it now.—I am, Ac., SPORTSMAN. I

DAY AND DAVIES CHALLENGED. I W. Ocwcott, writes (in the" Sporting Chronicle") that he is prepared to run B.

Boxing i BOOKINC FOR WELSH-SUMMERS FICHT Arkaw bMliinsr lor the Welsh-Summers fight for tht-. li,,IiT-w+,-Lght champioTif emiig looklS like boatipg- all record* (says the fm a.L "). Welsh w iij again do hia training a-i Cardiff, under the watchful eye of lug manager, Mr. Harry Marios, ajxcL re a!; -it;,a- what be has at stake, it i* hardly necessary to add that he vrii; leare nothing undone that it likely to improve hi", condi- tion. Summers lias prospered so at Brighton that he ha.s decided to asr:tin make his head. qua.r:&rs that way The air miita him admirably, and. a mam who Jovee the &ear and has little liking for the monotony »wo- ciated with some of the inland places, he is wise in hie resolve tc return to where he ha4 fared eo well. j Jim Driscoil's Cfter Jun Drisooa sta-tec in a letter im the Sportsman. jx.'i erring" to tb.e dl8PUt.8 between Mnrai and hiinscil as to terms:— "N00W, if Moran really wants to fight, instead of ?<*Vi?rt^S5r''e toiTnwlf at my expense, I am. loid that tie i2.000 purse ie get ill open for us to fight on Septembe; a), a nd I will allow him to decide how the money sha-li be -divided—wnuier take the lot fof my ohoiee. A Repiy to a Critic Mr. Harry Alark, writes:—" Is Weiæbi a. hard-hitting" fig-liter as well as admit- tedly the cleverest lraxer in the rinc to-day? I will point out ic the first plaoe the obvious fact that when he fought Josephs, who is conceded to be one of the sturdiest fighters ir England, he would have knocked him out if Josephs had not avoided that fate by fouling. No one who saw the fight with Josephs can donbt tha; he was in tht way of being kncc-ked out when he was disnualified. Piet, again, was so weakened by the terrible body blows of Welsh that he threw up his hands and gave up the fight just when it was evident that he could last but little longer. I speak of theea because they are the most recent ones, and have tpken place under the eyes of many thousand" of persons who will be able to bear witness to the accuracy of what J have said. I!! addition to these cases, however, I would call attention to the published record of Welsh, which is easily accessible to any one, and which will show that Quite 25 per oent. of p-li his fights hpve been won by knock-onts. And it is a notable fact in relation to this that the men who have been knocked out lry Welsh have. as a rule, been men who were heavier than himself." The Welsh Syndicate To the Editor of the "Evening Express"* Sir.—In view -if t.ll' published c-orretpon- oence and commeait concerning the pan played by the Welsh Syndicate in the Maratt- Eriseoll affair, it sec-s only proper that I ehould say that the syndicate in question is J ot the one which promoted the Welsh- Joeeiphs 3critwt & nd the Weieh-Piet contest.

American prejudice against the negro seems to be on the inonea-se, and in the event, of the heavy-weight championship being W(IID. by Jack Johneon, a black, over James Jeffries, a white pugilist, this prejudice will prob-a-hly lead to hioodshed ia the Southersk States. As it is. since Johnson signed, articles to fight t-he white heavy-weight, he is being refused admission irto hotels in cities through which he has been travelling. In Salt Lake City, where for generations uoiygaJUY was tolerated as a part of the Mormon religion, a hotel proprietor refused rooms to Johnson and. his wife, on the ground that he did not cater fox negro patrons. Johnson appealed to police headquarters in vain for redress, and he and his wife, who 18 a white woman, were compelled to spend the night in the house of a negro friecd. In other towns Johnson, who is very blaok has been refused rooms on the ground of his colour, and has been compelled to associate with bi a ciks alone. If Johnson should defeat Jeffries in the foa-thcomting bout for the world's heavy- weight- championship thccle will undoubtedly, be curi outbreak of the peculiar American a,niti-pathy to the black, which will make it very dangerous for the negro population of certain States. The American idea is tha.t when a negro becomes too "cockey" it, is about time to gmt the rope, gather a mob. turn on the eleotrus lighte, and enjoy a lynching bee.
