Batting Siki Loses Title.
London, March 17.-There is
to tremendous enthusiasm over night's fight at Dublin between Battling Siki. World's Cruiser-
and weight Champion,
Mike McTigue, the Irish-American Mid- dle-weight. It is the first big contest in Ireland for fifteen years. Both
men are reported to be fit. Siki, who has been training in Ireland, is immensely popular and has considerably improved in speed and technique. He says he feels! stronger and better than when he met Carpentier. Although a stone. lighter than his opponent, McTigue is most confident. He points out that he has already beaten thirty blacks. Carpentier and Descamps
pose of taking stock of Siki, whom Carpentier meets on 16th Septem
ber in Paris. Beckett also wit- nesses the tight-Reuter.

The authorities had detailed troops to stard the Seala Cinema, the scene of the fight, and detectives were project- ing the boxers in view of the Re-! publicans' decree banning all sport.! While an enormous crowd assembled outside it transpires that a land mine was exploded in Moor! Lane within a stone's throw of the scene. Two children were injured; and all windows and doors in the vicinity were blown out.-Renter.

Verdict on Points Later. In the light Heavy- Weight Championship of the World, the Irish Canadian Me McTigue out-pointed Battling Siki, the hold- er of the title.
A long suminary of the Turkish counter-proposals has been Issued. lamet Pasha in a covering letter stresses firstly, that the definite abolition of the capitulations must be recognised by the Allies: secondly, that the relations between Turkey and the Allies must be brought into conformity with the requirements and practice habitually followed between independent nations; and thirdly, that the conditions covering the fiscal regime and judicial status of subjects of one State in the territories of another must be determined by reciprocal conven- tions. Ismet Pashu declares that peace would have been concluded if Turkey had been originally accorded the short-delay for which she asked. Thereafter he enumerates the Turkish concessions and concludes that if the Allies had been inspired by the same pacific seati-McTigue's watchful, patient and ments when meeting in a European town preferably to Constantinople, they would have been able to settle the Treaty in a fortnight.
A Tame Affair. The Seala, Theatre was packed and there was a tremendous crowd outside. Both mes bad a great reception. Siki opened aggressive- and tried to force matters, but

CANADIAN-AMERICAN FISHERIES.
Ottawa, March 17, ... Correspondence tabled in the House of Commons shows that several messages passed between Ottawa, London and Washington before the Government obtained the consent of the Colonial Office not to have a British Ambassador associated with Mr. Lapoints in the signing of the Fishery Treaty with the United States. The Gov-rope and steadied himself for a ernor General cabled on 16th January, asking for the conferment of full powers on Mr. Lapoints to sign on behalf of Canada. This ape parently was not clearly understood for as late as 28th February Lord Byng cabled the Colonial Secretary that his Ministers were surprised to receive intimation from Sir Auckland Geddes that he had been instructed to sign in association with Mr. Lapoints, adding "the view of my Ministers is that in a Treaty concerning solely Canada and the United States and not affecting in particular any Imperial interest the signature of the Canadian Minister should be sufficient." The Colonial Secretary replied that his wishes had been telegraphed to the Ambassador at Washington.
