TAKEN INTO COURT
Governor Nash's Mave to
Prevent the Prizefight.
DECLARED TO BE A NUISANCE
Restraining: Order Is "Wanted on
That " Came-Petition Avers the
Contest Would Cause Gathering
"of Undesirable Persons.
CINCINNATI, Or.. Jan- 29.-Suit -was
begun today before Judge Howard Hollls
ter, of the Common Pleas Court, to en
Join the proposed Joffries-Ruhlln contest
here February IS. This proceeding is In
the name of the state, and was begun by
Attorney-General Sheets at the direction
of Qovernor Nash. The petition declares
the proposed prizefight to be a nulscance,
and a restraining order is wanted on that
cause, rather than under any sections of
the Ohio statutes pertaining to prize
fighting. No application for an Injunction was
made today as it Is desired first to have
notices served on the defendants so as to
have a hearing on the merits of the case.
The defendants are the original Saenger
test trustees, the members of the Saen
gerfest Athletic Association, Jeffries and
Ruhlln and the members of the Zoolog
ical Association, on whose ground the
Saengerfest Hall stands. The petition
avers that the contest would cause a
gathering of "toughs" and .idle and vicious
people, whose prescce in crowds would
be a menace to life, good order, property
and general welfare of the community.
It is ordered that the attorneys of the
Baengerfest Athletic Association will not
only accept the service immediately, but
will also Tequest as early a hearing as
possible.
Arguments may be made on the appli
cation for an Injunction Thursday, when
the attorneys of the opponents of the
fight will attempt to show that a contest
for the heavy-weight championship of the
world Is not such as can come under the
Ohio statutes. They will then show that
they mean by a petition to enjoin a nui
sance. Those seeking to prevent the
fight have certainly engaged a formidable
array of legal talent, including Judson
Harmon, who was Attorney-General un
der Cleveland; Gustave Wald. John W.
Warrington. Lawrence Maxwell, Jr., E.
W. Klttrldge and J. W. Herron.
Jeffries and Ruhlln, who were arrested
last night and held in $1000 bonds, will
have their hearing Thursday. Very lit
tle interest is taking In this proceeding
brought in the court of Squire Roebling,
as It is understood to be a friendly action
under section 7117 of the Ohio statutes
and that the defendants will both be re
leased after their hearing Thursday. It
Is even reported that this action was
taken by friends of the promoters of the
fight In order to forestall such action on
the part of others.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 29. It Is stated to
night that the suit to enjoin the Baenger
fest Athletic Club from pulling off the
Jeffrles-Ruhlln contr-st -nrin v.- ,-, ,..
Judge Hollster Monday, February U. Both
pugilists went about their work today as
if the contest would surely be pulled off.
Jeffries still suffers some on account of
his knee, which he Injured while playing
ball Monday last. Ruhlln toolc to read
work early In the morning, and after go
ing about 10 miles returned to his quar
ters. Later h- exercised with the various
training appliances, and then put on the
gloves for several rounds with his trainer.
The sale of tickets for the contest went on
as usual today, and the sale was said to
be large.
"Will Xot Affect the Case.
COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. 29. Governor
Nash said today that the arrests of the
principals In' the Cincinnati prizefight
would have no possible effect on the pro
ceedings Instituted by Attorney-General
Sheets In the Cincinnati courts today to
enjoin the fight. He declined to make
further statement concerning the matter.
Attorney-General Sheets said that the ar
rest of Jeffries and Ruhlln was undoubt
edly made to anticipate an action upon
the part of the state.

PITTSBURG. Jan. 29.-Jack MeCleland.

with a left Jab to the face, then came
to the Jaw with a right hook. Santry
went slowly down and out.

Man Who Canvassed Vancouver for
Mnnsey's Publications.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 29. Myron
H. West, alias H. Bennett, who was ar
rested here last Friday by City Marshall
Nerton for obtaining money under false
pretense, by fraudulently representing
himself to be an agent of the Frank A.
Munsey Publishing Company was given
a preliminary hearing before Justice
Halne today, and held In $500 bail for
trial In the Superior Court. West waive.l
his right to testify In his own behalf, but
assumed the capacity of attorney for him
self, cross-questioning the witnesses for
the state vigorously and moving for a
nonsuit when the testimony was all in,
on the ground that the evidence submitted
was not sufficient to substantiate the al
legations set forth In the complaint.
The evidence showed that among thoeo
from whom West obtained money were
five officers of the United States Army, at
Vancouver Barracks. To each of these
he represented himself as an agent of
the Munsey Company, and agreed to fur
nish the Cosmopolitan or Munsey's Maga
zine, the regular price of which Is $1 each
per year, at the reduced rate of 75 cents
for a year's subscription, claiming to have
made a special arrangement with the
Munsey Company whereby he was to se
cure 1000 subscribers, In consideration of
which he would receive compensation
sufficient to enable him to take a course
of study at the Washington State Uni
versity. Each subscriber was given a
printed receipt, which Is a facsimile of
the genuine receipt furnished by the pub
lishing company he claimed to represent.
On the margin of the recelnt Is a note
stating that, In consideration of the low
rate at which the subscription is received,
payment must be made In advance, either
to the agent or to the company direct.
West claims to have a wife living in
Seattle, vhom he blames for giving out In
form ltlon if t ding to his arrest. He was
unable to famish the reqlred ball and
wis sent back to Jail.

DURING VICTORIA'S REIGN.
Calamities Reviewed at an Irish
American Meeting-.
NEW YORK. Jan. 29. At the regular
monthly meeting of the United Irish
American societies, 6S organizations being
represented, resolutions were passed
unanimously, in part, as follows:
"The population of Ireland, a land flow
ing with milk and honey and capable, ac
cording to the best authorities, of support
ing more than 20,000,000 of people in ease
and comfort, has been reduced from more
than S 500.000 to less than 4.500,000 of peo
ple. The actual number cf Irish people
who have died of starvation In the midst
of plenty, du-lng Queen Victoria's reign.
Is more than 1.250,000. More than 4,000.000
people, according to the same authority
have been compelled to emigrate from Ire
land to foreign countries; the manufac
turing industries of the country have been
steadily discouraged and as far as possi
ble stamped out. Everything which could
be done to Impoverish and depopulate the
country to root out the people from their
native soil and drive them to seek other
homes In alien lands; to break their spirit
and make of them slaves and outcasts
has been done under Victoria's reign, and
with her full connivance and consent.
"We denounce the reign of Victoria as
one long act of bloodshed, murder, cruel
ty and cant, and insist that when Its his
tory Is truly written and the influence of
snobbery, flunkeylsm and toadyism is re
moved, it will be looked back upon as one
in which English wealth and power prop
erly passed their zenith and entered upon
a rapid and permanent decline as one In
which, despite the matcral progress made
by England In the early and middle part
thereof, greater Injustice, more cruelty,
grosser wrong, were Inflicted upon human
ity in general, and upon the Irish in par
ticular, than in the reign of any other
English monarch."
Admiral Kauts Retired.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. Rear Admiral
Kautz, who has Just been relieved from
command of the Pacific station, was
placed on the retired list today on ac
count of age. He has had a long and
distinguished career, of which nearly IS
years was spent at sea. During the Sa
moan troubles about two years ago Ad
miral Kauts was In command of the
American forces In that quarter, and it
was mainly through his firmness and con
servatism that serious International com
plications were averted.
GREAT NAVAL PAGEANT
REMAINS OF VICTORIA WILL TRAV
ERSE A LANE OF WARSHIPS.
Preparations for the Funeral Pro-
eesston Through London Duke of
York May Not Attend.
LONDON, Jan. 29. In London active
preparations for the Queen's funeral are
being made all along the route. Houses
are being draped and seating accommoda
tion is being provided. A committee cf
ladles has obtained permission to hang
wreaths of evergreen along the line, one
to be affixed to each lamp post, and all
being three feet in diameter and of uni
form pattern.
Of all the ceremonies, no doubt the
naval will be the pageant. The Alberta,
with the body, will slowly steam along a
line of battle-ships extending eight miles.
Facing these giants of the British Navy
will be smaller vessels and numerous for
eign battle-ships. Whatever the weather
may be, the spectacle of the remains of
SENATOR GEORGE TURNER
"WHO SPOKE YESTERDAY AGAINST THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Victoria traversing a lane of warships,
the guns of all booming, will be unique.
The Mikado wired such Imperative or
ders to the Japanese Legation for the
presence of a Japanese warship at the
naval display, that the battle-ship Hatsuz,
now being completed at the Elswlck
works, Newcastle, one of the largtst battle-ships
in the world, having 15.2u0 tons
displacement, has sailed for Portsmouth,
although hardly In condition to go.
Following Is the order of the foreign
warships at the pageant:
The Baden. Prince Henry of Prussia's
flagship, the Hagen, the Victoria Lulse
and the Nymph. German; the Dupuy de
Lome, French; the Hatsuz, Japanese, and
the Don Carlos I, Portuguese.
The War Office has Invited colondal of
ficers and soldiers in England to take part
In the funeral procession. Minute guns
will be fired from all ships In the Solent
and at Cowes, commencing when the Al
berta leaves Trinity pier. Each ship will
cease firing Immediately when the end of
the procession has passed her. When the
procession has passed the battle-ship Ma
jestic, the forts and ships In Portsmouth
Harbor will commence firing minute guns,
and will continue to do so until the Al
berta is alongside. No standards will be
displayed. Ensigns and Union Jacks will
be half-masted. Admlrals's flags will be
fully hoisted. As the procession passes
each ship, Its crew will present arms and
then rest upon reversed arms until the
procession has gone, the band meanwhile
playing funeral marches.
The compulsory absence of the Duke of
Cornwall and York from the ceremonies Is
the occasion of extreme regret, and of
many expressions of popular sympathy,
although no anxiety is felt regarding his
health, as the malady Is not dangerous.
King Edward received Lord Salisbury
and several other members of the Cab
inet today at Marlborough House. He
will hold a privy council at, St. James
Palace tomorrow to sanction finally the
arrangements for the funeral, and will
then return Immediately to Osborne.
The wreath sent by the King of Portu
gal was so large that It could not be
chapelle ardente. It Is In the form of a
cushion of violets, supporting a cross sur
mounted by a crown of violets.
About 3500 troops will be engaged In the
procession from Osborne to Cowes. Ten
thousand volunteers will be employed
along the route In London. In addition to
20,000 regulars. Some disappointment is
likely to be caused by the statement that
no photographs will be allowed to be
taken of the procession from Osborns to
Cowes. .
The Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk,
was unable to see King Edward, In order
to obtain His Majesty's final sanction for
the funeral arrangements. Nothing, there
fore, has been definitely settled except the
programme for Friday, already cabled.
"Queen Victoria's explicit directions as
to her funeral were written In 1S62," says
Truth, "and have not been altered in any
material respect. It was her wish that
the ceremonial should copy that of Prince
Albert's burial, as far as possible. The
Queen will be the first English sovereign
who will not be burled at night and by
torchlight."
There Is a great deal of surmise as to
what disposition will be made of the
King's late residence. Both the King
and Queen Alexandra are devoted to
Sandrlngham. so His Majesty probably
will retain that place: but It Is thought
Marlborough House will be given up. In
the event of the Duke and Duchess of
York not desiring to reside there, it is
considered likely that William K, VOnder
bllt will purchase the place for the Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough, which the
Duchess has long desired.
This morning there was a rehearsal
along the route of the -funeral proces
sion. The eight Hanoverian horses which
will draw the gun carriage took a heavily
laden brake, estimated to be of the weight
of the gun carriage and coffin, over the
route. Numerous carriages followed, and
a number of mounted men, representing
foreign Princes and others, who will ride
In the procession.
It has been arranged that the Eton Boys
will line the route from the long walk
gates to Windsor Castle, while the mili
tary knights of Windsor will be on duty
in the chapel during the funeral services.
It Is now understood the funeral in
London will be approximately as follows:
A sovereign's escort of 100 life guards,
the massed bands of three regiments of
loot guards; Field Marshal Earl Roberts
and the headquarters staff; an army gun
carriage with the body; the King sup
ported by the German Emperor; the King
of Portugal and the other reigning sov
ereigns In the order of precedence; the
Dukes of Connaught and York; the Equer
ries and Aides-de-Camp in attendance on
royal personages; Queen Alexandra, the
Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Got ha and
other royal Princesses In, four carriages, I
deeply draped and, In the rear of the
procession, another sovereign's escort of
100 life guard3. It Is estimated that 60
royal Princesses will participate in the
procession. As the funeral will be of a
military character, there probably will
be no pall-bearers, though possibly at
Windsor certain Generals will act in this
capacity while the coffin is being carried
up the nave of St. George's chapel.
For the first time since his accession,
the King's train today was preceded by
a pilot engine. His Majesty was -vociferously
cheered on his way to Marlborough
House. v
The privy council has ordered the Arch
bishop of Canterbury to prepare a special
form of service in commemoration of the
Queen, to be used In all cljurches in the
Kingdom Saturday. The Duke and
Duchess of Aosta will arrive here January
31. Joseph Chamberlain was among the
King's visitors this afternoon.
The following is the text of the address
of King Edward "VH to the Crown Prince
of Germany, Frederick William, on the
occasion of His Majesty's presenting the
insignia of the Order of Jthe Garter to
the Crown Prince In the council chamber
In Osborne House yesterday morning:
"Sir: In conferring upon 't your Imperial
and Royal Highness the ancient and most
notable order of the Garter, which was
founded by my ancestor (Edward III)
many centuries ago, I invest you with
" " """ V
the order of Knighthood, not only as the
heir to the throne of a mighty empire,
but also as my near relative. Itw as the
wish of my beloved mother, the Queen, to
bestow it on you, as a markof her favor,
and I am only carrying out her wishes,
and am glad to do so to orte of my Illus
trious relatives. To the German Em
peror, to whom I wish to express my sin
cere thanks for having assisted In at
tending the watching over the Queen and
remaining with her until her last moment,
I desire to express the hope that ray ac
tion In conferringon you this ancient order
may yet further cement and strengthen
the feeling which exists between the two
great xou.ties, and that we may go for-,
ward, hand in hand, with the high object
of Insuring peace and prompting the ad
vance of civilization of the world."
King Edward's speech Is approved on all
sides as an additional proof of friendly
relations between the new monarch and
Emperor William. The papers are. how
ever, more Interested in the peculiar word
ing of the proclamation of the King by Sir
Alfred Milner In Pretoria, as "Supreme
Lord of and over the Transvaal." The
general opinion is that the use of such
an unusual phrase must have some sig
nificant meaning. "It Is possible," says
the Dally News, "that the government
desires to leave themselves a loophole
and do not wish at the present moment to
, go beyond the assertion that Great Britain
is the paramount power in South Africa."
The malady from which the Duke of
Cornwall and York Is suffering Is
the German measles, and this the
court circular announces, Is the ex
planation of his failure to visit
Emperor William on the anniversary of
his birthday, and of his absence from the
ceremony of investing Crown Prince Fred
erick William with the Insignia of the
Order of the Garter. Sir Francis Laklng,
for many years surgeon to the late Queen,
Is attending the Duke. Duke Johan Al
brecht, 6f Mekllnberg-Schwerin, was
taken down with the measles 10 days ago.
The following Is the Inscription on the
coffin of Queen Victoria: "Deposltura
serenlsslmae potentlsslmae et excellentls
slmae prlnclpls, Victoria, del gratia Brit
tanlum Reglnae, fldeo defensorslse et In
dlae Imperctas. Obllt XXn die ' Januarll,
anno domlnl MDCCCCI, aetatls suae
LXXXII, regnlque sule LXIV."
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern Is go
ing to Port Victoria 'Saturday to await
the embarkation of Emperor William,
whose exact movements, however, and
date of departure, are still unknown.
It will be impossible to find accommoda
tion In Buckingham Palace for all the
foreign representatives. King Edward has
ordered that all the crowned heads are to
be his particular guests. Room will bo
found for other visitors at Marlborough
House and at hotels In the vlnlcity. One
hundred guests of the King will be housed
at Buckingham Palace Hotel.
Twelve Prussian Dragoon Guards of the
King's new regime will ride In the pro
session In London. It Is expected that
King Edward will return- to London after
the funeral, but ho will go to Windsor
again Monday with Emperor William.
The entire detective mnchlnery of the
United Kingdom and the Continent has
been set In motion to protect the royal
personages and other notable people now
gathering in London. Unwieldly as the
Continental secret services often appear
to be, every effort Is being made to unify
them In order that no Injury may befall
any royal personage attendant upon the
obsequies of tho late Queen. Sir Edward
Bradford, the energetic one-armed Com
missioner of Police of the metropolis, has
devised elaborate plans to deal with the
crush expected Sunday, but to protect
the Kindly and Princely guests precau
tions have been taken which are illus-1
trated by the fact that Sir Edward Brad
ford's residence is surrounded day and
night by constables In plain clothes and
detectives, and that no person Is allowed
to approach until his card has been passed
Ih. These precautions ar applied In the
case of all royal personages and of the
principal officers of the crown. Maletesa
and other anarchists residing In London
assert that there Is not the slightest prob
ability of violence, because England Is
"an asylum for the persecuted of the
Continent."
At Cowesr detectives are stationed In
large numbers on both sides of the Media
River, inquiring is to the antecedents of
strangers and watching all who approach
the royal personages. Nothing desperate
is feared, but the government desires that
the utmost diligence should be exercised,
especially with a view of keeping Emperor
William from harm.
Dady Gets His Par
HAVANA, Jan. 29. The long-standing
controversy between Michael J. Dady, the
contractor, and the military and munici
pal governments regarding the sewering
d paving contract, was settled today
the payment tp Mr. Dady of $250,000.
HONORING OF THE KAISER
AS IT IS VIEWED BY THE GERMAN
AND RUSSIAN PRESS.
Appointment as a Field Marshal In
the British Army Will Cement the
Anglo-German Alliance.
BERLIN, Jan. 29. Few of the morning
papers comment upon the appointment of
Emperor William to be a Field Marshal
,of the British Army. The Berliner Neuste
Nachrlchten says:
"It is gratifying that the excellent re
lations King Edward has already fostered
with the Czar find a compliment in the
good, friendly, personal relations between
Emperor William and the ruler of Eng
land." The Post says: "This spontaneous mark
of honor proves that the suggestion of
certain papers that the coolness between
the Prince of Wales and the Emperor
would not be without Influence on the
two countries is destitute of all founda
tion." The Berliner Tageblatt says: "A man
like the Emperor will know, "when a
fitting occasion appears, how to breathe
life Into his position of a Field Marshal
of the British army, which, in itself, is
purely ornamental. It may fairly be
affirmed without exaggeration that Em
peror William today is the most popular
man in England, and there is no need to
add that the fact is to the advantage of
the 100,000 Germans living under the Brit
ish flag and otherwise bound to Great
Britain by the closest commercial ties."
At the same time there is much head
shaking in regard to the Emperor Will
iam's pronounced Anglomania, and the
whole tenor of his world policy which,
however, without the good-will of Great
Britain, Is generally recognized as an Im
possibility. The alleged remark" of the Kaiser with
reference to the little sympathy displayed
by the Reichstag and Prussian Diet in
connection with the death of Queen Vic
toria, although further repudiated, still
continues to be challenged even by ultra
conservative papers. The Kreuz Zeltung,
for Instance, emphatically denies that
the German legislative bodies had any
reason to act otherwise than they did. It
cites Great Britain's action at the
death of Emperor William I, when Par
liament did not adjourn and when the
Prince of Wales "coolly celebrated" his
silver wedding the following day. "Even
on the recent occasion of the death of
the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, a man revered
throughout Germany, the Reichstag did
not adjourn," says the Kreuz Zeltung,
"and in that case the court went into
mourning for only three days."
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29. The news
papers here comment at length on Em
peror William's appointment as Field
Marshal of the British army. The Svet
says: "The appointment and the naval
display at Spit Head demonstrate the of
fensive and defensive character of the
Anglo-German alliance. It is now clear
Mr. Kruger was not received at Berlin
because Germany needed the alliance of
Great Britain in order to assume a pre
dominating position In the Balkans, Asia
Minor and the Far East" The Svet con
siders the rapprochement distinctly in
jurious to Russia.
The Bourse Gazette Is of the opinion
that another stage has been reached on
the road which is leading Germany into
the, arms of England, "who Is now hunt
ing for alliances instead of boasting of
her splendid Isolation."
The NovostI regards as fantastic the
ldqa of an Anglo-German alliance being
a "panacea for sick England," and doubts
if the alliance is practical or if the direc
tors of German policy entertain the
schemes ascribed to them."
ENGLISH LIDEL SUIT.
Verdict Entered Against a Harms-
worth Reporter.
LONDON, Jan. 29. Some curious evi
dence was presented today during the
trial of a suit for libel brought by R. K.
Turnbjll, an American newspaper man,
against B. A. Hawkesley, counsel for the
British Chartered South African Company.
The latter accused lurnbull, while em
ployed' on the Daily Mail, of having in
stigated a confidential clerk named Wallls
to abstract confidential letters referring to
the Jamieson raid from Hawkesley's of
fice. These are the letters which were
published some time ago by the Inde
pendence Beige. Turnbull denied the as
sertion. He declared he had not bribed
Wallls, but only gave him newspaper re
wards for Information. What he had done
was In behalf of the Dally Mail, and with
the full approval of Mr. Harmsworth.
The money was not paid to Wallls for
stealing documents, but for copying them.
During the testimony, Turnbull said he
was approached by Messrs. Masslngham,
Stead and Labouchere In connection with
the letters. He told Mr. Stead the docu
ments could be purchased for 1000. The
letters finally, through Wallls, reached the
hands of Gavin Brown Clark, the ex
Radical member of Parliament for Caith
ness, and ex-Consul-General of the Trans
vaal In London, and appeared In the In
dependence Beige and the Dally Chron
icle. Under cross-examination, Turnbull ad
mitted he had been dismissed by Mr.
Harmsworth, but through the Instrumen
tality of Mr. Hawkesley Mr. Harmsworth
gavd him another trial, announcing this
intention in a letter to Mr. Hawkesley,
In which he said:
"Seeing that Turnbull has expressed re
gret, and as his serious offense was really
due to his American training, I gave him
another trial."
After further similar evidence, the jury
stopped the case, and a verdict was en
tered for Mr. Hawkesley.

atory upon the directors to act upon the
question of dividends quarterly, beginning
March 1. The board voted to advance
prices on standard goods $2 per ton, ef
fectivo at once. Tho statement to the
stockholders for the year ending Decem
ber 31, 1200 .shows net earnings of JS.C02,

preciation. The Herald tomorrow will say:
"The explanation of the official an
nouncement is that quarterly dividend
declarations are mora sensible than an
nual dividend declarations. Speculative
opinion as to the mystery of the steel
and wire directors' actions was mixed.
Some believed that Messrs. Widener and
Nolan wanted a dividend declared anO
had won a tentative victory in having
the question postponed until after tho
annual stockholders' meeting, instead of
having Gates and his friends force tho
passage of the dividend altogether. Oth
ers aver that the entire board is acting
harmoniously, and have similar views as
to what course Steel & Wire common
ought to take in the market in the near
future."
