New Ottt.IA!0I, Sept. 8. -"Say, .m I
lickedDid that young fellow do it'"
So spoke John L Sullivan, some time
purilutic champion of the world,after he hod
been knocked out by the young ex -bank clerk,
Corbett, at New (rheum lest night.
By knocking out Mr. Sullivan, Corbett
gets $45,000, most of which will go to the
Diver young Californian. His backers will
take their .hare of this amount Corbett is
an Irish Amerim as is John L The vic-
tor is 26 years of age, and John L . 35.
Corbett has always taken good tare of him-
self, while Sullivan, while out of training,
has led a riotous and dissipated life. The
results were showy. in Met night's battle.
Corbett would not allow John L to get in
his knock -out blow and, when the big Bos-
tonian was tired out, the (alifr.n'ao west
at him hammer and tongs and laid him out.
Corbett's seconds woo the toss for corners
and Sullivan had to take that occupied by
Dempsey, Maher, Skelly and Meyer. Tre-
mandolin applause greeted the entry of the
gladiators. The weighs were &mounted se
Sullivan, 212, Corbett, 190.
At 9.06 the fight began. Nota blow was
streak in the first round, end the battle
soon became • sprint race. In the third
round Corbett punched Sullivan in the stom-
ach, and followed the blow up with a good
smash( on the face. In the fifth round Cor-
bett landed no les than six vicious blows
on Sullivan's face. In the seventh round
Corbett fought Sullivan to the topes, and It
was thea been that Sullivan's legs were flab-
by, while Corbetts were as herd aa iron.
When the men tame together for the eighth
round Sullivan made • lunge and mired.
Corbett replied with a right hander, which
beared up Sullivan. left eye. In the fol-
lowing rounds Sullivan tried .evs) rushes
bat was always stopped by straight punches
in the face. Corbett about this time found
that he was using hu right too much and
hepn pouching with his left hand. This
did sot seem to do him much good, ea in
the sixteenth round John L punched Cor-
bett band in the ear, and applause showed
thud the champion had many friends pres-
ent. In the twentieth round Corbett tushed
Sullivan hard and in the twenty-first Sulli-
van was knocked down ..d out. The sec-
ond time that he bad been knocked down in
his caner was lest night. He bad to be
carried to his oorn.r. When he was reviv-
ed Corbett west over to his oorsat and
shook hands with him.
Sallives said, " I eat only glad that the
championship has bsn won by an Ameri-
can.'
The betting daring the day was four to
one o. Sullivan. Corbett's backs mast
dive made an itemeses lot of money.
Corbett evidently had steed up hu man

.1 he especial advocate.. of the Imperial
Federation Idea always seek to d ive the
subject of the character of slaw debate upon
the merits. it Is their fawwrite plea to re-
oall the glories of the British Empire, the
pleasant relations which have always existed
between the Canadian pmvine.s and the
home Government, the obligations which
we hear incurred by accepting for so many
years the fostering care and protection of
the old deg, and the Mads of fealty by
which we are bound to the old land. All
these may be admitted. But, after all,
there is • purely practical side to the ques-
tion. Incident. surround the matter which
oannot be ignored. While primarily British
subjects and owning • willing allegiance to
the Sovereign who els over the British
Empire, the time must necessarily arrive
when a given unmber of millions of people,
with • splendid country and separated by
some thousands of miles from the cradle of
the race, must senously consider the special
interests of their own 0oantry. It is idle to
talk of Caned& and (:rest Britain as one
country. Notwithstanding the political
ties which now bind us together, they aro
essentially two countries and it may happen
to the intelligent recognition of both that a
pont
will be reached when their interests
may lie in divergent direction& The prob-
lem is this : Hen is a mother country great
and powerful to -day. From her shore. some
colonists set sail some day and take posses.
sion of a new land of large dimensions.
The colony is founded and seeks and freely
obtains, from motives of mutual interests
end glory, the protection sod support of the
mother land. The position is recognized
fully on both sides. Years pre by and
colony grows and prospers until at length it
assumes national proportions. The relation
of colony which sat naturally and becoming
once becomes not only inconvenient, hat al-
most ridiculous when the efflux of time has
developed a puissant nation. The moment
comes when, with the kindest feeling, the
younger community lays aside the garb of
dependence and assumes the beooming robe
of independence. L there anything un-
natural, ungrateful or base is this t I con -
fes frankly I cannot so regard it. On the
other head it seams perfectly natural and
proper.
Agan is the discussion of this question
sentiment 's appealed to in the most vehe-
ment manner. Upon this point there is
need of clear definition. In the work of
baildiag up • nation there must reds be
...tieent, without it there can be no co.-
solidatio., no strength, no permanency. A
seas country n, is an enlarged sense, his
home. For if ha must have love, and in it
he must have pride. No wise peste would
think of deal this But there most be

CHICAGO, Sept 7. --Two dead men -one
of them a millionaire ----sod a dyingeotftcer
were yesterday's results of the attempt to
close the Garfield Park race track. The
dead mea are :
James M. Brown, of Fort Worth, Tex., a
prominent western turfinen, shot through
the right brewt and lower portion of the
face.
John Powell, police officer, shot through
the mouth.
Henry McDowell, polios officer, shot in
the abdomen and mortally wounded.
Both the officers fell before Brown's re-
volver, one being in.tautly killed, the other
being removed from the grounds. Who
killed Brown is not exactly known. No-
body saw the actual killing of Powell and
wounding of McDowell, and when Brown
was slain • dozen officers were firing at him,
including McDowell, who, notwithstandtog
the fact that his life was ebbing fast, raised
himself upon his elbow and fired repeatedly
at the man who had laid him low.
It was shortly after 3 o'clock when the
polio_, commended by Inspector Lewis, ap-
peared at the gates to make the third raid
upon the pork, in obedience to werranu
takes by Thomas Winson. These wee n0
delay in gaining admittance and seven wag-
on toads of off mre rolled rapidly down ' •e
track toward the grand stand. A I .oe
seised the people in the "read stand •t the
sight of the blueco•ts, sod men made wild
breaks for liberty. The police paid no at-
tention to the fleeing epecators, but quick-
ly surrounded the betting ring and the
judges' stand. All the officials of the track
wbo could be found were quickly placed un -
arrest and a detachment of officers was amt
to the stables to gather in the grooms and
jockeys. They had for the most part taken
the alarm and escaped. Attention was then
turned to the people who scattered over the
grounds, singly and id numerous squads
were making their way toward the exits.
Only one num who was too fat to nn was
and another move was made
toward Um stables.
Jamas Brown was • man with • record,
and if McDowell dies he will be the four-
teenth man who has gone down before his
rvolver. Brown was born 52 years ago in
Kansas, but moved to Texas while • boy,
and has sines then made his home in that
State Be was for Is. years the sheriff of
Lee county, and it is said that all the kill-
ing he ever did was in an official capacity.
He has been interested in the running turf

From The Joke Maga:ine.
Though the meet important and (sc-
reeching question that tan p esiWy engage
the attention of the C an.dtati people, it ie.
only very recently that any Leve number
of Canadians have begun to manifest ..ny
real interest in it. The preset t. (dirty
comfortable and the tendency among masa*
u W be indifferent to all matters which do
not actually prase themselves upon their
notice by some palpable inconvenience. Yet
it seems beyond all doubt that Canadians
will, sooner or later, realise that the pro.
Went must be seriously fated. Ditlereaos
of opinion may and must 000tinue P. exist
as to the wisest and best solution, but all
thouvhtful persue+ must agree that colonists
we cannot always Tema` 1, and many will
recognize that it is not h000rsble nor desir-
able that colonist. we should much longer
remain.
While the time has paged for being indif-
ferent, the time has not yet tome for
dogmatizing. A great many things have to
be carefully, indeed anxiously, weighed.
The stage of dtscaseioo has been reached
and it is the duty of intelligent mento think
about it, to reflect gravely upon the ques-
tion and speak fully and without passion or
prejudice in regard to the issue.
The purpose of this paper is simply to
clear the ground so that the di...,uauon,
which is bound to come, may be rational
and fair. More than one alternative is
presented to the Canadian people, and it a
wire decision iv to be reached the most ab-
solute and uufetter.dfreedom must be afford-
ed for presenting all aides of the question.
This matement is necessary because many
of those who are speaking upon this
momentous yuestiou approach 18 as if it
were base or treasonable to advocate any
other than one alternative. We are con-
stantly reminded that we aro British sub-
jects and owe allegiance to the British
Sovereign, and that it is, therefore, wicked,
ungrateful an.t ignoble to suggest any al-
ternative except that associated with the
British Empire. We aro at liberty to accept
any changes within the • scope of British
citizenship, but to go outside would be
traitorous and vile. It may be that our
true interest. will continue to be bound up
with the Empire of which we at present
form • part, but most men will perfer to
reach this conclusion after • careful examina-
tion and full investigation of all other alter-
natives.
Speaking in general terms, it may be
mid that Canadians have the choice of at
least four alternatives :
First Renuining as we
possession of the empire.
Second. A direct political alliance with
die empire, involving representation in the
national councils and • share in the reopen -
'abilities and achievements of the whole na-
tion.
Third. Political union with the great
English nation lying beside us on this con-
tinent, with whom we are intimately as-
sociated and oonnecte.1 by geography, race,
language, laws and civilization.
Fourth. An independent nationality with
our own flag and our own national respon-
sibilities.
Theis four seem to embrace all the alter-
natives within the range of practical
politics. Of course, it is open to the
Canadian people to wk an alliance with
Frans, Germany or any other nation, but
such solutiou.,are simply imaginative and
do not represent any principle or reason.
But each one of the four presented are
natural, and on behalf of any one of them
much sen be said. All of them are in the
minds of thoughtful people and all are so
far within the range of the possible and
practical that they ought to be weighed
carefully, and no decision should be reached
until the oo.tingeocies which each presents
have been maturely considered.
I am going to repeat the remark that no
wise oo.oltmtoe coo be reached unless there
be untrammeled discussion and, therefore,
there must be no degrees 1 virts is the
advocacy of one alternative over •.etk.r.
There can be mo discussion at all if soh •
thing as gag law be applied. Therefore, I
lay down the wide principal that any cities'
of Canada is absolutely fres to advocate any
one of the four alternatives presented, and
as tree to advocate Hes as another. Nor
cap the position of the sifism b any way
affect this right What i bmesrabk for an
