PEONAGE IN THE SOUTH.
TI10 disclosures thnt have been made regarding the treatment of foreign labor in certain southern states, notably Mississippi, are likely to prove a blow to the entire south in the matter of the encouragement of immigration to that section of the United States. Raymond, in the Chicago Tribune this morning, sets forth the conditions as they exist in Mississippi, declaring that a system of the most outragous peonage is successfully prosecuted there, through the tolerance of the state courts and legislation. The. Ignorant foreigner unable to write- his own name and who has not been in the United States long enough to speak the language of the country, is inveigled into entering into contract with the lumber man or planter, under terms which soon plunges him into debt to his employer, when the latter, taking advantage of a state law which authorizes an employer to seize a runaway "agricultural servant" who is in debt to him, and bring him back to the plantation by force, compels a life of bondage under threat to kill the runaway if he refuses to continue in his enforced servitude. The threats, according to the disclosures, have not always ended there, but have on occasions, been carried into execution, and chain gangs of alleged debtors who have been convicted of ho crime, are openly operated under the sanction of the law. The south has recently sent up a pitiful wail because immigration does not flow in its direction, and a recent decision adverse to state aided immigration, rendered by Attorney General Bonaparte was received by the south as a serious calamity. If Attorney General Bonaparte's decision has hurt the south, the south or that section of it where these pernicious customs prevail, has hurt itself still more in the matter of drawing white labor southward. Mississippi, notoriously lawless and heathenish in some respects, should not serve as a criterion for the whole south, with persons posted on the ..section generally, but the foreigners who have been unfortunate enough to stray within its borders, by unsatisfactory reports of the conditions as they exist there to those they leave behind, are in a position to give the entire southern portion of the country a black eye. For to them, the south is the south, and they know no state boundary lines. The publicity that lias been gained for the methods employed in Mississippi in dealing with the foreigners, is going to make matters worse, and if the south in general expects to get a hold on foreign labor, to take the place of the negro help that they claim is injurious to competition with the north, they would better get together and convert Mississippi. The remedy for exisiting conditions rests within the state of Mississippi Itself, as the United States, though specifically forbidding peonage throughout the country at large, is powerless to act in the face of state laws which countenance the custom.
This is another instance of the evil of state lays which conflict with those of
the federal government.
20,000 SEEfflEEBMIE Great Crowd of Pittsburgers Turns Out to Indorse
the Carnegie Idea.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 2$. Andrew Carnegie's idea of free football for the masses seems to strike a popular chord in the Pittsburg breast today, as 20,000 people saw the Carnegie Technical school team play Lehigh university on Sehenley oval. It was a game absolutely free to the people, the expenses of the visiting team being paid by the pale of programs which had been prepared by the Carnegie Technical students themselves. The crowd was by far the largest that ever witnessed a sporting event in western Pennsylvania, and almost twice as many as ever saw a football game here. It was made a society event, and Pittsburg society attended in autos, carriages or on foot. The management of the Carnegie
School of Technology this evening announced, that it would make free football an atimi.il affair. :t least one free Kama with a big e.d'.ego being scheduled. The intention is to have all games i"ice if possible. Lehigh won the game with ease, the final score being 21 to (K Lehigh oul.weighed Carnegie "iVeh. and at no time was its goal in danger. After the game both te t ;r,s a ad their tiieiuls in forty automobiles paraded the streets of Pittsburg, .he-r'.rc wildly.

Chicago, Nov. 20. Although defeated 21 to 12 by the big eleven from Notre

Colma, Cal., Nov. 2'J. Al Kaufman of this city was awarded the decision over Jack (Twin) Sullivan at the end of their twentv-five round contest hero
yesterday afternoon. The decision was
ean cut. The light up to the tenth round was
practically an even affair. After that.
however. Kaufman forged to the front
and was never in danger again. Sulli
van did his best work in the early
rounds and for a time it looked as if
he might win.
It was a give and take affair up to
the tenth, with Sullivan having the better of it. In the sixteenth round Kaufman cut loose. He forced Sullivan from one end of the ring to the other, landing almost at will with
lefts and rights to the Jaw. He tried
to put Sullivan out and in doing so
weakened himself. He showed that he lacked that one requisite a knockout punch.
Sullivan Finishes Gamely. From the sixteenth on one round was
a repetition of the other. Sullivan showed gameness throughout the
balance of the fight. In almost every one of the later rounds it seemed certain he must go to the mat from the grueling shower of right and left swings to the Jaw, but he always toed the scratch, although apparently in great distress. Sullivan stalled continually to save himself from punish
ment. Kaufman thereafter devoted
his attacks to Sullivan's stomach and during the last few rounds put in sev
eral vicious punches, any one of which looked powerful enough to put out any
ordinary man.
The fight, so far as Kaufman was
concerned, was a great disappoinment
to the spectators, inasmuch as it developed the fact the Californian does not by far display the championship
caliber with which he has been credited.
After the fight Sullivan claimed he
had injured his right hand during the
sixth round, but it was not apparent to the spectators. Kaufman was the
aggressor throughout, and clearly out
fought Sullivan in all but a few rounds
The decision was considered a just one
although It was displeasing to some of
the spectators, who expected Kauf man to score a knockout.
Detail of the Milling. Time was called at 2:20 o'clock. The
men sparred cautiously for a few moments. Then Sullivan sent a right to Kaufman's ear and they clinched. More sparring followed, both men landing several blows. Sullivan appeared the
more clever of the two in the first rounds. The second round was Sullivan's, Kaufman going to his corner with his nose bleeding freely. Kaufman, however, appeared to have a shade of the better of the third round. There were several fierce exchanges in the fourth, and Sullivan staggered his man with a straight left to the jaw. The round closed nearly even, as also did the fifth. Sullivan had the upper hand in the sixth, but Kaufman, from whom blood again was flowing, got in some hard blows. They exchanged vicious blows to the head at close range in the seventh, Sullivan having the better of the rally. Kaufman went to his corner again with blood coming from his nose. Sullivan had a slight advantage at this point. The eighth round was a vicious one, both men administering and receiving considerable punishment. Kaufman had the better of it. At the close of the ninth Sullivan was backed to the ropes and looked worried. Kaufman landed several severe body blows, a raking left to the
jaw, and had a good lead. The tenth also was Kaufman's round. Sullivan's left eye was badly swollen as he went
to his corner. Kanfman Fresher In Eleventh.
In the eleventh rounel Kaufman seemed much the fresher of the two, but Sullivan got him against the ropes and sent in some har.d swings to the jaw. It was Kaufman's round, as also
were the twelfth and thirteenth. The fourteenth round was fairly
even, but the fifteenth was Kaufman's
by a good margin. Just before the gong sounded Sullivan ducked into a left which brought blood and Kaufman
remarked: "You are not Jack O'Brien,
Kaufman landed a number of blows to
the head in the sixteenth, Sullivan be
came groggy and was almost out, but
made a wonderful rally.
The seventeenth was Kaufman's but
he lacked the power to put his man out. Kaufman landed almost at will in the eighteen round and Sullivan was spitting blood at its close. Sullivan was outboxed and outpunehed in the nineteenth, his opponent's greater reach, height, and weight proving of value. Both men were tired when the next round closed. Sullivan Begins to "Stall." In the twenty-first round Sullivan stalled at every opportunity and went to close quarters. The next round was Kaufman's. The twenty-third round was tame, but Sullivan was cheered because of his uphill fight. In the twenty-fifth round they came up fast and fought hard. Sullivan slipped to his knee momentarily. Kaufman placed lefts to the stomach and jaw repeatedly. Kaufman followed Sullivan, landing lefts to the jaw at will. Sullivan held on in the clinches, but fought back. Sullivan was carried to the ropes. They were in a clinch at the close of the fight. As referee Roche rendered his decision in favor of Kaufman Sullivan
weighed, but did not play with the ag
gressiveness of the Tigers and during
most of the game did not seem to be able to take advantage of what op
portunities they had. Some brilliant
playing was done by William Forney,
William Wilson, and Joe Gardner of Valparaiso end by Ketizall of the Calumets. Marks for Valparaiso made some tine kick-offs and also some gaa.l goals. Shakleton also made a splendid quartet back run of about twenty vards lor
a touchdown. In spite! of the one
sided score of ul to 6, the game was
rather interesting, being replete with
end runs made by Valpo and. forward
liasses by the Calumets. Kenzall of the Calumets made their only score on a fifty-yasd run, after the ball had bounded back and forth several times after a long forward pass by the Calumets. He kicked his own goal. Referee V. MeGuire for the Calumets. Pmpide Paul Nuppnau of the Tigers, Linesmen Jake Marks of the Valpos and T. Findlay of the Calumets.

MARATHONJEATH RAGE
One Dying, Six Collapse,
and Six Others Unaccounted For.
New York, Nov. 28. One man dying, five removed from the contest in a state of collapse, and six who failed to report at the finish still unaccounted for at a late hour, was the result of the Marathon running race held today at Yonkers. The runner who is dying is G. C. Cunningham of the New York Athletic club. After ho had gone seventeen miles he fell exhausted. He was removed unconscious to the Hollywood Inn, and thence to a hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from acute dilatation of the heart. At a late hour tonight he was still unconscious. Puts End to Strenuous Sport.
It is considered doubtful if another twenty-five mile race of the kind will be held in the vicinity of New York.
It was a race of boys and not of men
Most of the striplings were unknown
in the athletic world and had never be fore figured in long distance events.
The winner of the race was John J.
Hayes, aged 21, of the St. Bartholomew
Atheletie club. He covered the twenty-
five miles in 2 hours, 44 minutes and 45 seconds an average of nine and one-eleventh miles an hour. Twenty-
six of the runners covered the course
The second man, who finished two
miles behind the winner, was Fred Lorse of the Mohawk Athletic club of
this city. He is known as a fair five
mile cross country runner. His time
was 2 hours and 57 minutes. t'liicngonn Is Third.
Close behind him finished A. L. Corey
of the First Regiment Athletic asso
ciation of Chicago. Corey was the only
full grown man among the starters
and is a 100 mile western champion. His time wa3 2 hours 5S minutes and 25 seconds. He crossed his course through an error and thus ran nearly a mile farther than the others. He lodged a protest against the first two men, but it was not allowed. More than 50,000 persons viewed the race. One of the strongest contestants was Sidney Hatch of the First Regiment Athletic association of Chicago, a clubmate of Corey's. He ran with an. even stride throughout, but lacked the speed of the leaders and could do no better than finish sixth. Hatch said that, while he finished in good condition. It was the most grueling race in which he had ever participate?
Berlin, Nov. 28. The sitting: of the reichstag today was notable for the energetic speech of prince von Bulow, the German Imperial chancellor, in defense, of the army, the emperor, and himself. In replying to Dr. Spahn, the leader of the center party, who asserted that conditions prevailing in the army recalled those of ancient heathen Rome,
tne chancellor arose full of fire. He declared no one imagined that the whole army was affected by a few instances of unworthiness, the rooting out fo which, the chancellor assured the house, would be sharply attended to by the emperor, than whom no one strove more for a high tone of morality both in the army and the nation. Crown Prince a Factor.
It was the Crown Prince, he said, who
had called his father's attention to articles in the Zukunft disclosing corruption, with the result that immediate action was taken. He pointed out that
neither the chancellor nor the minis
ters could take such a step without
holding proofs of their assertions.
Prince von Bulow then referred to
the so-called court camarilla, which
is widely alleged to have been influencing the emperor's decisions. No one, he said, had ever accused the emperor of being without his own will and the
camarilla could only exist where the monarch wa3 willing. Such a poison
ous growth as a camarilla, he declared,
was utterly un-German, and reports re
garding its existence could be taken
as being without foundation.
In concluding his address the chan
cellor denied the assertion that he had
dissolved the last reichstag in order
to protect himself against personal at
tacks relative to his supposed parti
cipation in intrigues. The reason for
such action, he said, was the obstruc
tion offered by the center party, which
desired to pit its strength against -the
nation's will. Any chancellor who had
submitted to such a course would have
forfeited the confidence of the nation
The chancellor promised to take part
in the budget debate tomorrow.

GEORGE ARMSTRONG, Now playing at the Gaiety.
AT THE GAIETY. The above is George Armstrong, the
clever singing comedian now appearing
at the Gaiety theater, South Chicago. At ever- performance the audiences are
loath to let him go and call him back
again and again until ho has exhausted
his entire repertoire of stories and all
encore verses of songs. On the streets
of South Chicago everybody can be heard whistling his most popular song,
He Walked Right in. Turned Around
and Walked Right Out Again." Mr. Armstrong possesses one of those pleas
ing personalities that make you his
friend before he starts. His laugh pro
ducing songs, "his smile that won't come off" is of that pleasing variety
which makes the old feel young and the young giddy and gay. He is a sure cure for the blues regardless of the country's financial condition. George, as he is familiarly known, is an actor of many resources. Ho writes all his own songs and parodies. His engagement closes Sunday evening.
for him much praise among our people.
The play permits the Introduction of
realistic scenes, as the plot is laid in ami around the Lehigh valley. Many innovations In scenic setting and mechanical contrivances of a unique and spectacular nature are being introduced and many exciting episodes are presented. The interest throughout is intense, the humor is clean, and every climax Is sensational, of much dj-amatic force and positively novel. "In every detail "Our Friend Fritz" Is said to equal or even surpass any work emanating from the pen of its widelr known author. The drama can truly be said to be one of the positive successes of the season, and that it fits Mr. Hortiz like his skin. The company 13 composed of several stage favorites, including Grace Beaumont, Carol Paly, Constance Glover, Conrad Cantzen, R. J. Moye, Walter Caufman and ethers. No expense has been spared in the mounting of the play as it Is under the management of Geo. H. Nicoiai and William W. Miller.
