Gladstone Counting on the Support of Seventy Irish Members. Parßell's Continued Absence From the Hou.e Creates Much Adverse Com- ment—A Manifesto. Copyrighted, 1881, by tho New York Associated Press LosDnjr, March 13.— Gladstone has been in consultation with Morley, Harcourt and Trevelyan on the scape of tha Liberal elec- toral platform, and Is preparing to announce It at Hastings, it i; learned that home rule, with a definite explanation of the questions of Irish representation In the Imperiall'.irli.i- nient urn! the land and police re'ations to the Irish Government, continues to hoi I a front rank. The Liberal leaders have been fortified with the determination to pursue an Irish policy. By a report, prepared at the electoral headquarters, on the proba- ble results of the I'armll faction fight, Mr. Schn:td!i jr-fs forecast h:\s reduced Par- nell's following in the next Parliament to ten. Thus Gladstone, assured of the sup- port of the Irish phalanx of seventy-three adherents, deems himself ready to rescue and complete the legislation for Irelmd. th;: LIBERAL platfobm. The next plants of the Liberal platform are, "One man, one vote." including a gen- eral reform in legislation; free elementary education; amendment of the labor laws. with the abolition of the law of conspira sr; equalization of taxation; amendment of the acts as affecting children, and measures to assist rural laborers to acquire holdings. It is significant of the early dissolution of Par- liament to find the Conservatives suddenly becoming the warm champions of rural workers. The worst feature of P.irneli's ftmd with the Nationalists develops a? the fteht be- comes fiercer. The attitude of partial re- aped toward the clergy disappears and thinly veiled insolence and sometimes op^n reviling characterizes the speeches of the leaguers.

In an article in the Labor World. appeal- ins to Irish- Americans, Michael Davltt de- clares the effrontery of Parnell is measure- less in asking Americans to ignore his base betrayal of household virtues. He does not fear but that the Irish in America will spurn his emissaries as the servants of a factionist traitor, who considers his own interests above home rule and his tarnished name above the honor of their race. Parnell solaces himself amid the fever of combat by revisiting the scenes of his old amours. The response of Ireland to its po- litical fund is the cause of hitter disappoint- ment to the ParneU faction. The Freeman's Journal to-day shows the total subscription is only £7-7. Unless America subscribes cenerousiy l'arnellisni is menaced with death by exhaustion after the first furious efforts of th" canipaign. DILLON AND O'r.r.lE*.

PARNEIiIi'S ACTION. Comments on His Frequent Absence From the House— A Manifesto. London:, Match 13.— Parnell's absence from the House of Commons during Bal- four's speech on the distress in Ireland has caused intense surprise. P.irnell mysteri- ously vanished ou Wednesday. Itis learned that he traveled to Brighton and stayed at Walsingham iv company with Sirs. O'Shea. He remained secreted until 6 o'clock to- night, when he appeared in the Commons, bnt after two hours returned to Brighton. A niKsscneer-boy has called at the Commons daiiy for Parnell's letter-, and in reply to in- quiries declared that Mr-. O'Shea sent him. Even the friends of Parnell declare that his tinned neglect of Ireland willcompletely ruin his cause. paSstell's MANIFESTO.

While throughout the London district a thaw has set In there are no Bigns of in '1- ration in the severity of the weather In the southwest of England. A heavy snow-storm prevailed last night in Devonshire and Cornwall, considerably adding to the surfcrings of the farmers of those co jnties and still further impeding the resumption of railroad traffic. The county roads are still impassable. "Tn addi- tion to the enormous losses suffered by farmers in sheep and cattle, large numbers offhorses Lave perished. In a majority of the villages and small towns all the shops and schools are closed, for it Is impossible for children aud shoppers to venture out. The mail train which runs between Ply- mouth and this city was dispatched to-day for the first time since Monday last, traffic on the road hiving been suspended owing to the heavy snow-storms. The passengers who were snowed up on numerous trains during the week suffered greatly from cold and privation. Many others had narrow 'apes from serious troubles by danger of trains colliding with trees which had fallen across the railroad. West Cornwall has bean In a state of com- plete isolation since Monday last, the firtt communication with that district being opened up to-day. Of course the facts which have come to light in connection with th« snowed-up traiLS, and particularly in connection with snowed-up vehicle.", such as coaches and carriages only give a faint idea of what has actually taken place, for hundreds nt least of conveyances have been sucwed up at various points, and the experiences of many of them will never be told. Tn« storm is declared to be the worst known in fiftyyears. The Hamburg-American line steamship Suevia, from New York February 28th, for Hamburg, which was reported yesterday disabled In the Channel, has not yet been found. Her chief officer, who reached Ply- mouth Wednesday iii»;ht, says the low- ores in re condensing engine-valve was found to De broken when the Suevia was off the southernmost point of Devonshire on Mon- day. A strong east gale was blowing and a heavy sea running. Tha Suevia drifted down the channel an Iexperienced terrible weather all ilonday night and Tuesday. Late ou Tuesday her signals of distress were responded to by a small London steamer, which, however, would not at- tempt to tow the large steamship to Plymouth or Dartm mth lor fear of disaster to the small craft. Finally the chief ollicer of the Sneviii put off in the life-boat and, after receiving a terrific pounding from the se:i, met ,i pilot boat, which brought him to Plymouth. A powerful ocean-going tug was sent nut to search for the Suevia, bat returned l<si night without finding any trice of the big liner. Another powerful Channel tug was sent out from Southampton this in-.. niiii.'. The steamship which was wrecked n 'ar Dartmouth, Monday last, during th« storm, was the Mtraml of Liverpool. When the steamer struck the reef tiie crew took to thu boats and endeavored to reach the shore. One of the boats, containing the officers-, was struck by a heavy sea and foundered, all on boord being drowned. The second boat, in which the sailors were, capsized twice, and each time righted, but each time a number of men were drowned.

England's Arrcgaacj in the Behring Sea Matter The Ex-Senator Advised to Seek a Change of Air by the Salted Seas. Special to The Morning Call. New Yor.K. March 13.—Truth to-day pub- lishes a reply from Murat Hulstead to Sena- tor Infills' navy article. His letter is as follows: "The style of expression which the Hon. John J. Ingalls his at command, and which he employs without reserve, sharply accents any deficiency of informa- tion, and when he writes, history displays errors in a strong light that is fullof heat and color. His contribution to Truth under the head-line, ' Tho Annual English War Scare,' is so extraordinarily misleading, and Mr. Injnlls, though no longer in the Senate, is still so far a rep- resentative man, that it should be regarded and reviewed as possessing an interest other than that associated with a pictur- esque personality. It is an extravagant use of language, so to speak. A MATTKR OF PERSONAL VANITY. "It is true that our country rapidly, at the beginning of the war of the rebellion, created a navy, and true also that the haste with which the work was done enormously Increase;! the cost. The number of thou- sands of millions spent on the navy has be- come a matter of national vanity. "A very curious maxim of coast defense Mr. lugalls jauntily flings off is that in order to protect our seaboard cities from Portland to San Francisco we must have ships enough to assemble at every vulner- able point—a force as large as could be dis- patched against it. The truth is that one fleet, that would be a match for the enemy, codIddefend the whole line and have the advantage of shorter lines, an unlimited coal supply and hourly intelligence within sight of the land from every point of the coast. "The view that Mr. Ingalls takes of En-, gland being under bonds to keep the peace toward tiie great republic Is characteristic and peculiar, nfid so far from correct that the thoroughness of his inaccuracy is a wonder. We bought all the right* Russia had in Alaska and the adjacent waters. The Rus- sian fur-seal companies for forty years were never molested by poachers from Canada or anywhere else. DO NOT DEFEND OUR BIGHTS. "The Kussian teal fisheries in Siberian waters, no matter how lar from shore, are not meddled with. The Canadian poachers ami renegade Americans are, under the protection of the British Hair, destroying our seal fisheries, the most valuable in the world, and preparations are made to com- plete massacre of the seal this summer. Already the fishery lm- dwindled to less ih in one-third of its former pro|«>rlion? aud value. Our revenue cutters, sent to protect our interests, are threatened by the Biitish Beet at Vancouver, and we are submitting to this because we have not got a navy to defend our rights and sustain our dignity. We ought to Bend ships of war to Drilling Sea with orders to put an end to this piracy, just as the Russians would do if their waters were Infested with pirates. but we do not do it because we are not in fighting trim, if we had a real nay y there would be no fight, for the poachers would disappear. " Our submission to the prevarications and provocations of England in this matter costs us a revenue of £1,000,000 si year, and our distinguished citizens serving In various capacities as public teachers should have a care that in their efforts of eccentricity and strife for smartness they do not belittle a controversy that touches the vital self- respect of the nations and da the cause of their country immeasurable miscliief. The Atlantic and Pacific cities are not protected from the British armaments ready to strilto at the pleasure of the Tory Government. The cities of Kansas are presumably safe.un- less the farmers rome down like this wolf on the fold. There are strange influences In the atmosphere of that fine State, that affect the mind and intelligence.which Mr. Ingalls has partially escaped through absence from the climate, but he has a touch of the ma- laria of the plains. lie requires a change of air, and should seek itby the salted seas."

Tha deputies, however, Immediately suppressed the noi.-e, and then Jud^i^ Baker ordered the juiy to be discharged aud the prisoners to be re- manded, as there was still another cliar^o against them in connection with the same case. The jurors refused to discuss with the reporters what had happened in the jury-room. When the jurymen reached the street they were hooted at by the crowd, who had already learned of tho verdict.

Internal Revenue Commissioner Mason to-day received a long letter from Professor Milliard of the University of California, in which he acknowledges that he was mis- taken in his alleged discovery of errors In the departmental tables for measuring alco- hol In sweet wine fortification. Hllgard ex- plains that an assistant chemist was re- sponsible for the mistake. lie had implicit confidence in him hs a chemist. This as- sistant is not named in Hilcnrd's let- ter, and the department officials are disposed to regard this omission of no little Importance. Professor Hilgnrd gives his Investigation in dentil, ami arrives at about the same result its the department, the slight difference between them resulting from what Hilgaid terms the " distillation process," which is u«ed and which he claims is more correct, insisting that it should bo adopted by the Government. Concerning this Commissioner Mason says bis chrniista have a.'ready recommended a' change ot apparatus to enable them to nuke experimental by the distillation process. Commissioner Mason Bays he hopes he has beard the last of the dispute over the furti- ficalio : of sweet wines. ARMY ORDERS. ' By direetlon of the acting Secretary of War Captain William C.

District of Columbia, ordered the distiaudmcnt of two full 00.11- --pnnies of colored troops who have hereto- fore been attached to the National Guard. The order naturally created a very great stir in colored circles but it was not immedi- ately complied with, as the troops failed to turn over their equipments and accouter- nipnts, as directed by the official order. When an inspector was directed to niaka an examination to lind out why it was that the property of the United Mates had not been turned over as ordered, he discovered that no less than eight fulluniforms and 1 num- ber of overcoats, as well as a great deal <.f other paraphernal a belonging to the Gov- ernment, but in use by tlifi colored troops of the National Guard, had been "soaked" by the thrifty young men, and now the senti- ment is rapidly turning in favor of General Ordway, because this alone would be a suf- ficient reason for the dislmuilment of the entire body. PUACTICAL.LIY A FAILURE. The New Cruiser Philadelphia Not Strong ' Enough for Her Battery.' ,' Washington, \. March 13.—There now come whisperings that the famous Phila- delphia will be a failure as a lighting ship for the same reason th.it the Boston and Atlanta are not successes. The ship is not strong enough for her battory. She carries twelve six-inch high-power rifles. Four of these guns are, owing to faulty design, prac- tically useless in fiction. - They cannot |bo fired without danger of | doing inure damage to the ship and her crew thau to the enemy. \ The new battle-ships are to be armed with tii" biggest rifle. guns afloat— thirteen- inch breech-loaders. .These guns are to be fired with 250 pounds of powder, ana throw \u25a0 a projectile weighing 800 pounds. Unless the hulls and frames are built to withstand this awful shock, thn bu bnttle-shius will be failures, and uuless the Construction De- partment has calculated sufficiently well to meet these objections the ships will never answer the purpose for which they are being built.

Thomas Crnlir. the keeper of a lodging- house at 247 Second street, was probably fatally shot by Mat Smith in the Charier Oak Saloon, on the southeast corner of Third and Howard streets, at 2 o'clock this morning. It was the result of a bar-room squabble. Both men had been drinking and were dis- cussing the Kilrain-Godfrey fi;;ht. Without warning, CraU says, Smith drew a' pistol and fired twice at him. One of the bullets took effect in the right cheek and the other in the lift side. The lattei is dangerous and Dr. O'Brien thought It might prove fatal. Smith is a notorious character and a fighter. He was arrested and lodged at the Southern Station on a charge of assault to murder. Craig was attended at the Receiving Hos- pital. . \u25a0 -"\u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0'-.:'•" RELIGIOUS NEWS.

The Latter Stays for Forty-three Bounds and Succumbs to Exhaustion-A Very Dull and Slow Contest. The contest at the California Club last evenitiE between Jake Kilrain and George Godfrey of Boston (colored) whs won by Kilrain in the forty-third round. The stake was S"i000, of which SlL'.">o wont to tlie loser. The fight lnsted about threo hours, nnd to say the least it was one of the most tire- some spectacles that has baen witnessed at the California Club since Joe McAuliiTe put Frank Glover to sleep in the forty-ninth round. When the men entered tlie ring the dis- parity in their si'zps wa« at once coiumcutpd upon. Godfrey looked almost a pigmy in front of his opponent) who is a well-propor- tioned man. When they toed the scratch and set themselves in p ; sition for attack it was at onoe apparent that the Bostonian was heavily handicapped in reach, whlctiis a most important factor, especially in a con- tost nniler Queeßsberry rules. The appear- ance of the pugilists justified the betting, whirh was up to the close $100 to £00 in Kil- raln's favor. From the fact that Kilrain stood before Sullivan for seventy-two rounds under London prize-ring rules, the majority of the members present thought that Godfrpy would be made abort work of, but the unex- pected happened on this occasion. Kilrain was first tnopen the came by plug- ging Godfrey on tlie nose. The Bostonian tried shifting tactics, but each time he endeavored to laud his right ilie blow'almost invariably fell short. Kilraln's movements were most remarkably slow and many won- dered ifhe was just taking things easy. Jim Corbett, who sat immediately behind The Call representative, laughed heartily each time Kilrain essayed to knock God- frey's head off? " Why," said Corliett. " lie is the slowest man in creation, and I doubt ifhe ever can knock Godfrey out." Mttldnon, who happened to catch Cor- betl's remarks, glanced savagely at the speaker and then rubbed oft a few big beads of per.s Dilation that trickled down his Aztec I/row just the gong sounded time for corner*. The tight is easily described, rs it was, with the exception of a few rounds, all in Kilrain's favor. Godfrey could not reach him at long rani:-, and the only chance lie bad to remind Kilraiu that lie was in the same was in the rallies. The Baltimorean is unquestionably slow in his movements and telegraphed each blow he aimed at his opponent's face. Godfrey duc&ed cleverly away from several blows which, if they had landed, would have caused Ills head to swim, lie was, however, the receiver gen- eral ail through the race. and. excepting nil abrasion over the left eye, Kilrain escaped injury. Godfrey did not sown to make anywhere near us good a showing with Kilrain as lie did against Pster Jackson, although the latter forced him to quit in the nineteenth round. Kilrain several times resorted to London prize-ring tactics, but on bciiu reprimanded by the referee, who stood 03 the outside at the ring, he discontinued a practice which he appears to be thoroughly conversant with. There is one tiling peculiar In Kilraiu's style of fighting, and that is the manner in which he delivers his goods. During the en- tire contest he failed to land one straight blow direct from the shoulder. To use a tighter* phrase, he crocks the arm and lauds the side of the glove generally on the neck or ear. At close range he punished G -dfrey severely about the face by upper-cutting him. Probably the most punishing blow* he administered were those he planted over the colored nun's heart with the right, which as a general thing carried weight with them. Toward the end of the contest when the Boston ian was showing .strong signs of weak- ness, it was astonishing to note the valuable opportunities Kilrain allowed to pass un- heeded, which,' ll taken advantage of, would certainly have wound up the entertainment before the thirtieth round was roached. So far as the manner In which the pugilists were seconded, it was noticed that Godfrey had the netter talent behind him, a< when the gong sounded for action the colored man was the last to leave his chair, which, in a long fight, uieaus considerable of an ad van- tape. Kilrnin, to say the least, disappointed fits friends, who expected to see la Dim a quick and clever Wexer. Against sucli men ns Jackson and Corbett he would not be in it, as his movements are. altogether ton slow to be compared with thoseot either of these lighters who are his equals so fur as reach of nrnij is concerned. There are lunuy people who witnessed the defeat of Godfrey who now belio?e that Corbett or Jackson would make mat- ters very interesting for Sullivan judging from Kilrain's performance. « Toward the end of the contest Kilraln be- came so much exhausted that be was actually unable to punch Godfrey out. - Id the 36'Ui round quite a bit of excitement arose when Godfrey's seconds jumped into the ring and assisted Godfrey, who was Uy- lnz prostrate on the floor, to bis feet. viiis action on the part of tha colored i man's . seconds should have lost Godfrey the fight, as the rules state that a fallen contestant must not be assisted to bis feet. -.'\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0 !' The ninth second had been called before Godfrey was in a position to continue the battle, and, Kiliaii; failing to take ad- vantage of his helpless state, gave the colored man time to recuperate and prolong a tiresome contest for several rounds. Of Godfrey it must be said that be took mi enormous amount of punching: and many people wondered how ho could pos- sibly remain on his pins for such a length of time. lieproved himself a thoroughly game fellow and M: long as there was the least shadow of hope he stood his ground like a brave soldier In the face of a heavy bat- tery. ; / .: :. \u25a0 "-; . \u25a0 . \u25a0 :.. \u25a0\u25a0 The crowd outside the « club-room most hare numbered at least 2000 people, who cheered lustily when the news of Kilraln'* victory was conveyed to them. While Godfrey was lying prostrate on the floor outside the ropes at his corner Kilr.iin, evidently fearing that the former's second, would again assist him to his feet, us thv.y did in the thirty-sixth round, shook Ills fist in a threatening manner at one of Godfrey's second;). There, was no attempt made to again violate the rules of the Marquis of Qtieensberry. Godfrey's face, although, not disfigured by cuts, looks decidedly knobby, especially about the eyes. The entertainment cannot be considered a success and gees to show that as a 'general thing contests between heavy-weight fighter* are failures. The following is a description of the mill by rounds.

Copyrighted, 1881, by tho New York AssociatedPress

LosDnjr, March 13.—Gladstone has beenin consultation with Morley, Harcourt andTrevelyan on the scape of tha Liberal elec-

toral platform, and Is preparing to announceItat Hastings, iti;learned that home rule,witha definite explanation of the questionsofIrish representation In the Imperiall'.irli.i-

nient urn! the land and police re'ations to

the Irish Government, continues to hoi Iafront rank. The Liberal leaders have beenfortified with the determination to pursuean Irish policy. By a report, prepared at

the electoral headquarters, on the proba-ble results of the I'armll faction fight, Mr.Schn:td!i jr-fs forecast h:\s reduced Par-nell's following in the next Parliament toten. Thus Gladstone, assured of the sup-

port of the Irish phalanx of seventy-threeadherents, deems himself ready to rescueand complete the legislation for Irelmd.

th;: LIBERAL platfobm.

The next plants of the Liberal platformare, "One man, one vote." including a gen-eral reform in legislation; free elementaryeducation; amendment of the labor laws.with the abolition of the law of conspira sr;equalization of taxation; amendment of theacts as affecting children, and measures toassist rural laborers to acquire holdings. Itis significant of the early dissolution ofPar-liament to find the Conservatives suddenlybecoming the warm champions of ruralworkers.

The worst feature of P.irneli's ftmd withthe Nationalists develops a? the fteht be-comes fiercer. The attitude of partial re-aped toward the clergy disappears andthinly veiled insolence and sometimes op^nreviling characterizes the speeches of theleaguers.

davitt's onslaught.

In an article in the Labor World. appeal-

ins to Irish- Americans, Michael Davlttde-clares the effrontery of Parnell is measure-less in asking Americans to ignore his basebetrayal of household virtues. He does notfear but that the Irish in America willspurnhis emissaries as the servants of a factionisttraitor, who considers his own interestsabove home rule and his tarnished nameabove the honor of their race.

Parnell solaces himself amid the fever ofcombat by revisiting the scenes of his oldamours. The response of Ireland to its po-litical fund is the cause of hitter disappoint-ment tothe ParneU faction. The Freeman'sJournal to-day shows the total subscriptionis only £7-7. Unless America subscribescenerousiy l'arnellisni is menaced withdeath by exhaustion after the first furiousefforts of th" canipaign.

SUFFERING IN ENGLAND.

ContioaatiiD of (be Severe Cold Weather.Sailors Drowned.

London, March13.—

While throughout theLondon district a thaw has set In there areno Bigns of in '1- ration in the severity of theweather In the southwest of England. Aheavy snow-storm prevailed last night inDevonshire and Cornwall, considerablyadding to the surfcrings of the farmers ofthose co jnties and still further impedingthe resumption of railroad traffic. Thecounty roads are still impassable. "Tn addi-tion to the enormous losses suffered byfarmers in sheep and cattle, large numbersoffhorses Lave perished. In a majority ofthe villages and small towns all the shopsand schools are closed, for it Is impossiblefor children aud shoppers to venture out.

The mail train which runs between Ply-mouth and this city was dispatched to-dayfor the first time since Monday last, trafficon the road hivingbeen suspended owing tothe heavy snow-storms. The passengerswho were snowed up on numerous trainsduring the week suffered greatly from coldand privation. Many others had narrow

'apes from serious troubles by danger oftrains colliding with trees which had fallenacross the railroad.

West Cornwall has bean In a state ofcom-plete isolation since Monday last, the firttcommunication with that district beingopened up to-day.

Of course the facts which have come tolight in connection with th« snowed-uptraiLS, and particularly in connection withsnowed-up vehicle.", such as coaches andcarriages only give a faint idea of what hasactually taken place, for hundreds nt leastof conveyances have been sucwed up atvarious points, and the experiences of manyof them willnever be told. Tn« storm isdeclared to be the worstknown in fiftyyears.

The Hamburg-American line steamshipSuevia, from New York February 28th, forHamburg, which was reported yesterdaydisabled In the Channel, has not yet beenfound. Her chief officer, who reached Ply-mouth Wednesday iii»;ht, says the low-ores inre condensing engine-valve was foundto De broken when the Suevia was off thesouthernmost point of Devonshire on Mon-day. A strong east gale was blowing and aheavy sea running. Tha Suevia drifteddown the channel an Iexperienced terribleweather all ilonday night and Tuesday.Late ou Tuesday her signals of distresswere responded to by a small Londonsteamer, which, however, would not at-tempt to tow the large steamship toPlymouth or Dartm mth lor fear of disasterto the small craft. Finally the chief ollicerof the Sneviii put off in the life-boat and,after receiving a terrific pounding from these:i, met ,ipilot boat, which brought him toPlymouth. A powerful ocean-going tugwas sent nut to search for the Suevia, batreturned l<si night without finding anytrice of the big liner. Another powerfulChannel tug was sent out from Southamptonthis in-..niiii.'.

The steamship which was wrecked n 'arDartmouth, Monday last, during th« storm,was the Mtraml of Liverpool. When thesteamer struck the reef tiie crew took to thuboats and endeavored to reach the shore.One of the boats, containing the officers-,was struck by a heavy sea and foundered,all on boord being drowned. The secondboat, in which the sailors were, capsizedtwice, and each time righted, but each timea number of men were drowned. Event-ually four Swedish seamen reached theshore, but one of them died from exhaustionsoon after.

The British ship Stanley, from this cityto San Francisco, put into Plymouth withtlie loss of some sails and a number ofthe crew Injured.

The Ex-Senator Advised to Seek aChange of Air by the Salted Seas.

Special to The Morning Call.

New Yor.K.March 13.—Truth to-day pub-lishes a reply from Murat Hulstead to Sena-torInfills' navy article. His letter is asfollows: "The style of expression whichthe Hon. John J. Ingalls his at command,

and which he employs without reserve,sharply accents any deficiency of informa-tion, and when he writes, history displayserrors ina strong light that is fullof heatand color. His contribution to Truth underthe head-line,

'Tho Annual English

War Scare,' is so extraordinarily

misleading, and Mr. Injnlls, thoughno longer in the Senate, is still so far a rep-resentative man, that it should be regardedand reviewed as possessing an interestother than that associated with a pictur-esque personality. Itis an extravagant useof language, so to speak.

A MATTKR OF PERSONAL VANITY."Itis true that our country rapidly, at

the beginning of the war of the rebellion,created a navy, and true also that the hastewith which the work was done enormouslyIncrease;! the cost. The number of thou-sands of millions spent on the navy has be-come a matter of national vanity.

"A very curious maxim of coast defenseMr. lugalls jauntily flings off is that inorder to protect our seaboard cities fromPortland to San Francisco we must haveships enough to assemble at every vulner-able point—a force as large as could be dis-patched against it. The truth is that onefleet, that would be a match for the enemy,codIddefend the whole line and have theadvantage of shorter lines, an unlimitedcoal supply and hourly intelligence withinsight of the land from every point of thecoast.

"The view that Mr. Ingalls takes of En-,gland being under bonds to keep the peacetoward tiiegreat republic Ischaracteristic andpeculiar, nfid so far from correct that thethoroughness of his inaccuracy is a wonder.We bought all the right* Russia had inAlaska and the adjacent waters. The Rus-sian fur-seal companies for forty yearswere never molested by poachers fromCanada or anywhere else.

DO NOT DEFEND OUR BIGHTS."The Kussian teal fisheries in Siberian

waters, no matter how lar from shore, arenot meddled with. The Canadian poachersami renegade Americans are, under theprotection of the British Hair, destroyingour seal fisheries, the most valuable in theworld, and preparations are made to com-plete massacre of the seal this summer.Already the fishery lm- dwindled to lessihin one-third of its former pro|«>rlion? audvalue. Our revenue cutters, sent to protectour interests, are threatened by the BiitishBeet at Vancouver, and we are submittingto this because we have not got a navy todefend our rights and sustain our dignity.We ought to Bend ships of war to DrillingSea with orders to put an end to this piracy,just as the Russians would doiftheir waterswere Infested with pirates. but we do notdo it because we are not in fighting trim, ifwe had a real nay y there would be no fight,for the poachers would disappear."

Our submission to the prevarications andprovocations of England in this mattercosts us a revenue of £1,000,000 si year, andour distinguished citizens serving Invariouscapacities as public teachers should have acare that in their efforts of eccentricity andstrife for smartness they do not belittle acontroversy that touches the vital self-respect of the nations and da the cause oftheir country immeasurable miscliief. TheAtlantic and Pacific cities are not protectedfrom the British armaments ready to striltoat the pleasure of the Tory Government.The cities of Kansas are presumably safe.un-less the farmers rome down like this wolf onthe fold. There are strange influences Inthe atmosphere of that fine State, that affectthe mind and intelligence.which Mr.Ingallshas partially escaped through absence fromthe climate, but he has a touch of the ma-laria of the plains. lie requires a change ofair, and should seek itby the salted seas."

JABBED THREE HOURS.

Jake Kilrnin Succeeds in TiringGodfrey Out.

The Latter Stays for Forty-three Bounds andSuccumbs to Exhaustion-A Very Dull

and Slow Contest.

The contest at the California Club lastevenitiE between Jake Kilrain and GeorgeGodfrey of Boston (colored) whs won byKilrain in the forty-thirdround. The stakewas S"i000, of which SlL'.">o wont to tlie loser.

The fight lnsted about threo hours, nnd tosay the least itwas one of the most tire-some spectacles that has baen witnessed atthe California Club since Joe McAuliiTeput Frank Glover to sleep in the forty-ninthround.

When the men entered tlie ring the dis-parity in their si'zps wa« at once coiumcutpdupon. Godfrey looked almost a pigmy infront of his opponent) who is a well-propor-tioned man. When they toed the scratchand set themselves in p;sition for attack itwas at onoe apparent that the Bostonianwas heavily handicapped in reach, whlctiisa most important factor, especially in a con-tost nniler Queeßsberry rules. The appear-ance of the pugilists justified the betting,whirh was up to the close $100 to £00 in Kil-raln's favor.

From the fact that Kilrainstood beforeSullivan for seventy-two rounds underLondon prize-ring rules, the majority of themembers present thought that Godfrpywould be made abort work of, but the unex-pected happened on this occasion.

Kilrain was first tnopen the came by plug-ging Godfrey on tlie nose. The Bostoniantried shifting tactics, but each time heendeavored to laud his right ilieblow'almost

invariably fellshort. Kilraln's movementswere most remarkably slow and many won-dered ifhe was just taking things easy.

Jim Corbett, who sat immediately behindThe Call representative, laughed heartilyeach time Kilrain essayed to knock God-frey's head off?

"Why," said Corliett.

"lie

is the slowest man in creation, and Idoubtifhe ever can knock Godfrey out."

Mttldnon, who happened to catch Cor-betl's remarks, glanced savagely at thespeaker and then rubbed oft a few big beadsof per.s Dilation that trickled down his AztecI/row just k» the gong sounded time forcorner*.

The tight is easily described, rs it was,with the exception of a few rounds, all inKilrain's favor. Godfrey could not reachhim at long rani:-, and the only chance liebad to remind Kilraiu that lie was in thesame was in the rallies. The Baltimoreanis unquestionably slow in his movementsand telegraphed each blow he aimed at hisopponent's face. Godfrey duc&ed cleverlyaway from several blows which, if they hadlanded, would have caused Ills head toswim, lie was, however, the receiver gen-eral ail through the race. and. excepting nilabrasion over the left eye, Kilrain escapedinjury.

Godfrey did not sown to make anywherenear us good a showing with Kilrain as liedid against Pster Jackson, although thelatter forced him to quit in the nineteenthround. Kilrain several times resorted toLondon prize-ring tactics, but on bciiureprimanded by the referee, who stood 03the outside at the ring, he discontinued apractice which he appears to be thoroughlyconversant with.

There is one tiling peculiar In Kilraiu'sstyle offighting, and that is the manner inwhich he delivers his goods. During the en-tire contest he failed to land one straightblow direct from the shoulder. To use atighter* phrase, he crocks the arm and laudsthe side of the glove generally on the neckor ear. Atclose range he punished G -dfreyseverely about the face by upper-cuttinghim.

Probably the most punishing blow* headministered were those he planted over thecolored nun's heart with the right, which asa general thing carried weight with them.

Toward the end of the contest when theBoston ian was showing .strong signs of weak-ness, itwas astonishing to note the valuableopportunities Kilrain allowed to pass un-heeded, which,'lltaken advantage of, wouldcertainly have wound up the entertainmentbefore the thirtieth round was roached.

So far as the manner In which the pugilistswere seconded, it was noticed that Godfreyhad the netter talent behind him, a< whenthe gong sounded for action the colored manwas the last to leave his chair, which, in along fight, uieaus considerable of an ad van-tape.

Kilrnin, to say the least, disappointed fitsfriends, who expected to see la Dim a quickand clever Wexer. Against sucli men nsJackson and Corbett he would not be in it,as his movements are. altogether ton slowto be compared with thoseot either of theselighters who are his equals so fur as reachof nrnijis concerned.

There are lunuy people who witnessedthe defeat of Godfrey who now belio?e

that Corbett or Jackson would make mat-ters very interesting for Sullivan judgingfrom Kilrain's performance.«Toward the end of the contest Kilralnbe-came so much exhausted that be wasactually unable to punch Godfrey out.- Id the 36'Ui round quite a bit of excitementarose when Godfrey's seconds jumped intothe ring and assisted Godfrey, who was Uy-lnz prostrate on the floor, to bis feet. viiisaction on the part of tha colored iman's .seconds should have lost Godfrey the fight,as the rules state that a fallen contestantmust not be assisted to bis feet. -.'\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0

!' The ninth second had been called beforeGodfrey was ina position to continue thebattle, and, Kiliaii; failing to take ad-vantage of his helpless state, gave thecolored man time to recuperate and prolonga tiresome contest for several rounds.

Of Godfrey it must be said that be tookmi enormous amount of punching: andmany people wondered how ho could pos-sibly remain on his pins for such a length oftime. lieproved himself a thoroughly gamefellow and M:long as there was the leastshadow of hope he stood his ground like abrave soldier In the face of a heavy bat-tery. ;/ .: :. \u25a0 "-; . \u25a0 . \u25a0 :.. \u25a0\u25a0

The crowd outside the « club-room mosthare numbered at least 2000 people, who

cheered lustily when the news of Kilraln'*victory was conveyed to them.

While Godfrey was lying prostrate on thefloor outside the ropes at his corner Kilr.iin,evidently fearing that the former's second,would again assist him to his feet, us thv.ydid in the thirty-sixth round, shook Ills fistina threatening manner at one of Godfrey'ssecond;). There, was no attempt made toagain violate the rules of the Marquis ofQtieensberry.

Godfrey's face, although, not disfigured bycuts, looks decidedly knobby, especiallyabout the eyes. The entertainment cannotbe considered a success and gees to showthat as a 'general thing contests betweenheavy-weight fighter* are failures. Thefollowing is a description of the mill byrounds.
