Won by Cheynski.

SAN Francisco, CAL. Feb. 27.-Frank
Glover was badly whipped in the Cali
fornia club last evening by Joe Cheynski,
prominent local amateur. The latter
entered the prize ranks to meet Glover
and gave him a terrible beating. Though
ten pounds heavier than Cheynski,
Glover was never really in the fight =.
Cheynski out-sparred him, out-fought
him at long and short range and hit three
times as hard. Glover was knocked out
the fourteenth round and had to be carried
in from the ling. He lost half his teeth
and his face was beaten to jelly. He
will probably be confined to bed for a
week Cheynski escaped without a
scratch, barring slight confusion over left
eye. He is only twenty years old and
this was his first professional battle.
Glover was in good form, and Cheynski g
victory over him will give him backing
for any amount over almost any 40
pound man in the country. The fight
created great deal of interest here be-
cause of the fact that Cheynski was born
and bred here, and because Glover had
made so plucky a fight against Joe Nc
Auliffe.

SPORTING.
Twelve Hard Rounds Fought by Pete
McCale and John Regain with
Skin Gloves.
The Fight is Witnessed By Large Crowd, and
is Won by McCale, Who Beat Regan's
Face All Out of Shape.
A Pennsylvania Fight.

SHAMoKIN, PA. Feb % John Regain
of New York and Pete McCale of Balti-
more fought twelve rafting rounds with
skin gloves, Marquis of Queensbury
rules. III an old stable, near Ashland, at
an early hour this morning, and the bat
tie was awarded the Baltimore man on
account of a foul. About 100 sporting
men from New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and a few favored ones from
the colleges were at the ring side. The
stakes were placed at $500 a side, and
$4,000 or $1,000 changed hands on the re-
suit. Regain entered the ring at 105
pounds, his height being five feet seven
inches, and was in splendid form g.
His opponent weighs 145 pounds, and is
half an inch shorter, but made up the
difference in size and weight and Il greater
knowledge of science, which he showed
TO great advantage in the rounds that
followed.
First round-The men shook hands,
when McCale led off , but fell short. Some
light sparring ensHed. Then the Mary
land man planted his fist square on Re-
gan s lips, cutting them and draw
ing first blood. The latter re-
taliated with a severe body blow
doubling his man up. HOnors even.
Second ROund-McCale again led and
forced fighting, following the New
Yorker about the ring, and some heavy
blows were exchanged, causing Regain 5
nose to puff up to the size of walnut.
He landed vicious blow on the Balti
morean 8 neck which caused McCale to
drop on his knees.
The third, fourth and fifth rounds were
exciting. In addition to treating the
enthusiastic spectators with a scien-
tiffc display, the principals did some
hard slugging. BY this time it was evil
dent that McCale would win the fight, as
Regain was breathing very hard and was
suffering from the terrific blow he had
received in the fifth round on the tenn
pie He showed great pluck, however,
and depended mainly on body blows.
In the sixth round Regain struck foul
blow and was cautioned by the referee,
but repeated it again.
Eighth and Ninth Rounds-By this
time each of the fighters was in pretty
exhausted condition, McCale IS body be-
ing badly bruised, while Regan's face
was in an awful condition. His nose was
tiattened out, his eyes closed, and several
Jumps appeared on his forehead.
In the twelfth round fighting was all in
McSdle favor, anu dlIeI Nc sCi uCh MS
opponent a number of times and escaping
return blows in each instance he searched
for an opening to knock Regain out at
the same time becoming careless of his
guard The New Yorker saw his chance
and put all his strength in blow at Nc
Gale, which went below the belt. 1t was
glaringly apparent that Regain wanted to
quit and save money for his friends, but
the referee declared a foul and gave the
fight to McCale.

4 conference between the citizens
committee and Messrs. Sandmay, Levi i,
Stafford and ArrOworth, representatives
of the stockmen was had this morning
The result of last night s meeting was dis
cussed at length and finally the PROPOSE
was rejected by the stockmen They
then submitted two propositions.
l. That Galveston should build a
refrigerator on the original offer of 62 Il
cents per head or upon the basis of
charges for similar services in other parts
of the world
2. That il Galveston desires TO limit its
risk in the enterprise they (the cattlemen)
VIII put mp the cold storage warehouse,
provided Galveston will obtain sufficient
ground free of charge from the wharf
company on a lease of twenty-five years,
and donate SIS 200 in cash.
The first proposition did not meet with
favor on the part of the citizens COM
mittee. The second, however, being so
fair and equitable, was favorably re-
ceived, and it is generally believed that it
will be accepted by the citizens of CAL
weston. This committee, however, asked
for time TO consider it and perfect the de-
tails for the acceptance of the final sig
natures. This, it is expected, will not
be accomplished for several days.

Jurisdiction of the Corporation.
PARIS, Feb. 27.-The court of appeals
heard the argument in the conflict be-
tween the civil tribunal of the Seine and
the tribunal of commerce in regard to
their respective right of jurisdiction over
the Panama canal company. The civil

was only subject to the civil law and
thereupon appointed a liquidation. Con-
tractors with unsettled claims against
the company then brought suit before
the tribunal of commerce. The company
pleaded that the tribunal had no iuris-
diction, but the tribunal accorded the
claims of the contractors After hearing
the intricate arguments the court of ap-
peais deferred Judgment for one week.
Panama canal shares were offered at
40 to-day, with no buyers.

Though only fifteen years of age Carrie has, unaided, designed and executed the frescoing for laxge Atlmber of the finest rooms in the hotel, and is regarded by her employers as an able and accom- plished fresco artist. She is very pretty and graceful. also exceedingly shy Under the protecting presence of her father, she escorted the reporter to her studio, where all-sized canvases of as many different subjects graced the walls in charming confusion. Luscious bunch es of fruits and flowers hung beside and over meadow and wood scenes, and an old-fashioned water-mill, lively and dripping. contrasted with landscapes and portraits, all executed with remark able skill. Carrie is not only an artist, she is also musician, and has scattered around her room number of instru- ments, which she plays just to willie away the time. A bass-fiddle occupies ono corner and an organ another. On the center-table lay flute and piccolo, and on the organ 8 violin. She plays all of them we'll.

Rattlesnakc Oil for Rheumatism.

There arc places in South Georgia where men extracted oil from the rat tlesnake and used it to cure rheu1:la- tism. These persons will give negro one dollar to point out q rattlesnake to them, and then they kill it in a peculiar manner. They place forked stick over the snakes head, then put cord around it and strangle the snake. This is done to keep the snake from biting itself. The body of the reptile is then strung up and the oil extracted from it. It sells for one dollar per ounce, and this industry is very profitable one. The snakes in that section are very large, averaging five feet in length, and one rattler gives up a great deal of oil. A little negro once saw two rattlers lying close together, and wanted to get the money for finding them. It was q mile to the nearest house. He was afraid the snakes would crawl off while he was gone, and so he took off his coat and placed it between the snakes. He went off, came back, and found them still eye inp the coat.

THE PARNELL COM MISSION

After sitting 129 days the Parnell commission has adjourned. and the hearings are at an end. Public interest in the proceedings ceased when the spurious character of the letters upon which the London Times based it's case was shown by the confession of the forger of them |: but witnesses have continued to be heard and the learned counsel have kept on talking, just as if the bottom had not dropped out of the Times tub. The verdict of the commission will not be awaited with any particular anxiety by the friends of Mir Parnell. The popular verdict against the Times was rendered long ago and the commission can never change it.

Breath Not Infectious.

One might spread a thick layer of liv- ing bacteria of any kind, no matter how infectious, over an exposed surface, and. provided it was kept thoroughly moist, might breathe with impunity tho air sweeping in strong currents over it. be- cause the germs always cling most tena- ciously to such surfaces. Of course a current of air strong enough to sweep the particles of fluid bodily off from their position would be efficient in spreading the infection. The important point which this statement emphasizes is that the breath of tubercular persons is not infectious; the air itself passing over the moist surfaces of the respiratDry passages and the mouth carries no germs. The act of kissing, however, might lend itself most efficiently to the transmission of the infection.

SENORITA ExCHEQUREN.

She Is Young, Handsome and Will Es-
 herit Twenty-Five Millions.
 The sensation at the Hotel del Monte now, says a Monterey letter, is the pretty Senorita Ysabel Exchequren, whose father is worth SS0.000, 900. Senor Francisco ENchequren is Castilian, who came to Mazatlan many years ago, engaged in the importing business, gained large fortune, and is now known as the Vanderbilt of the western coast of Mexico. He owns about half of Mazatlan's iron and cotton mills arA millions of acres of good land. His greatest successes, however, have been in mining. He owns the rich Guad- aloupe de Los ReeS silver ledge, near CoSala, 100 miles from the capital of Sinaloa; the Guadaloupan, at Rosario, besides large interests in many others. The tirst-named mine is very old, hay ing been worked for over hundred wears. The other is comparatively new. These and others which he owns: are producing large fortunes annually, estimated at from SlOo,ooo to 1,OoO, ,oo0 each. The story of Monte Cristo seems to find verification in the life of Senor Exchcqurcn. The senorita is demi- blonde of seventeen, tall and willowy. with fair complexion and auburn hair She gets her dresses from Worth, and her diamonds are the envy of the rich girls here. According to the custom of her nation, for her father is a native of old Spain, she is accompanied by a rather austere duenna, who is always with her when she goes into the surf, and even in her walks. This has caused much anguish among several prominent young men whose hearts the young lady has captured. Every day when she visits the beach there is strife among her admirers as to who shall pay her the most attention. Senorita Exchequren will inherit one-t third of her fathers vast wealth, which makes her one of the richest girls on this side of the Atlantic.

THE SPEAkERSHIP FIGHT.
The Republican Caucus to be Held To
 Morrow and Reed Has the Call.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Republi- can caucus, to decide on a choice for Speaker, has been called to meet to- morrow at noon All the indications now seem to point to the nomination of Thomas B. Reed of Maine.
 The strength shown by Mir. Reed is attrib buted by few to the interferenc 0 of the Pennsylvania Senators in the fight. Both Mir. Cameron and Mir. Quay deny that they have taken an active in terest in the matter, but there is be- lief among some that they have intlu- enced the votes of a mum Der of Pennsyl- vanians and turned them over to MT. Reed.
 A caucus of the Pennsylvania Repub- licans is to be held to-day to de- termine whether tho delegation will Vote as unit CT not. If the unit rule should be adopted the question of MT. Reeds election would be decided abSo lutely in the affirmative.
 Some of the friends of MT. Mckinley have been urging upon him the advisa- bility of withdrawing from the contest, and 1t is believed that he has this QueS- ton under consideration.
 Great significance is attached to-day to the fact that two of the three Repub- lican CongreSSmen from Missouri, who are pledged to Mckinley. went into the
 
 held at the house of Representative McComas.
 The leading spirit among the South ern Repu ublicans is Congressman Wade, of Missouri, who is an open supporter of Mir. Reed.
 The New York Republican Congress sional delegation held a caucus at the Arlington last night. Chairman James J. Belden was the host. After q full discussion ballot waS taken which showed It votes out of r for Reed. Congressman Flood declared for Me kinley. Knapp and Miller, who were not present, telegraphed that they will vote with the delegation. Flood tiNally declared that he would probably stay with his colleagues, insuring the 1y votes for the Maine statesman.
 It is rumored to-day that Mir. Med ringhaus and Mr. l>insey, of Missouri will go over from the Mckinley to the Reed forces before noon tomorrow.
