Coast FootbaIIers yindicated.

A letter was received yesterday by a
prominent football-player from A. Alonzo
Stage, who looked after the interests of
the Chicago team during its sojourn on
this coast. This is what Mr.. Stagg says
of the newspaper criticisms relative to the
Reliance Clubs rough style of play;
The boys speak with the utmost praise of the
hospitality and good will which was shown to
them throughout their stay in California, and
treatment which the Reliance Club accorded
them. Whatever statements appeared in the
Chicago papers or any other papers to the effect

growth OF our feeling. In fact our boys indig-

VICTORY FOR YOUNG CRITIC
DECLARED A BETTER MAN IN THE
RING THAN LEEDS OF NEW
JERSEY.
TWELVE FIERCE ROUNDS FOUGHT
AND BOTH MEN BADLY
PUMMELED.

CGNEY ISLAND, March 4.-One of the best
cards ever put up by the Seaside Athletic
Club was that prepared for its patrons to-
night. Young Critic, the Australian,
was again to the fore to show his
wonderful skill, and a big crowd came
from Philadelphia to see how Horace
Leeds of Atlantic City, N. J.. would make
it with the antipodean. There was good
deal of quiet betting on the event and the
Quakers with their money made Leads a
slight favorite, but even money was the
prevailing price. Fully 1000 spectators
were present. Tim Hurst refereed all the
bouts and Bob Smell held the watch.
At $40 o'clock Marty McCue and Danny
Mcbride entered the ring. In the fifth
round both men warmed up and made
things lively. Mcbride had the call at the
end of the round and when the referee
awarded the fight to him the decision was
received with cheers.
Tom Denny of Australia and Solly Smith
of California were the next pair. They met
at 10 pounds for ten-round go. The
bout was declared draw.
The fight of the night was then an
nounced. Horace Leeds was the first to
CTIilp tHtougn tne ropes, accompanied Dy
his seconds. Young Critic followed just
at 10 o'clock. Critic looked fat but in good
condition, while Leeds, who is taller, looked
trained to the hour. The bout was to be
of twelve rounds durations at 1873 pounds.
Both men did some hard hitting, and in
the twelfth round Leeds landed his left on
the body. Leeds again led, Critic
countered on the face. Both countered on
the face, and Critic jabbed Leeds in the
face again.
Critic was smiling when he tapped Leeds
lightly on the face. Critic hit Leeds on
the ear. Leeds made wild swing, but
Critic lodged once more. Leeds punched
Critic in the mouth and Critic tried his
shoulder once more.
The gong then ended the fight amid
shouts oil ''GriffC" and counter bowls of
Leeds" Referee Hurst decided in favor
of Critic.
MONTREAL, March 4.-The Costello-W oods
fight was declared a draw in the tenth
round. The decision was rather favorable
to Costello.

the track. The engine struck the buggy,
smashing it into pieces and Mr.. Slevin and
the young lady were thrown violently to
the ground.
Mr.. Slevin, who is tall. heavy man, was
terribly hurt. He was thought to be dy-
ing, and the train backed down to the va
lencia-street depot with him. There the
patrol wagon was summoned from the Sew
enteenth-street station and he was taken to
his home by Sergeant Burke.
Drs. Clinton, Mcpherson and another
physician were hastily summoned. They
found that his collar-bone was broken and
there we're severe wounds in his scalp.
There was frightful cash over the ear.
Mr.. Slevin is 67 years of age and it is
doubtful if he will recover. He was cor
poral in the Police Department three or
four years ago, being placed on the pen,
sion list. He was greatly esteemed by all
who came in contact with him.
The young lady was taken to Mr.;
Slevins home by some citizens. She had
sustained an ugly scalp wound besides in
ternal injuries

THE HALF-MILLION CLUB.
A Circular Letter Presented and Referred
to Committee.

A Circular Letter Presented and Referred
to a Committee.
The committee of the Half-million Club
met in the rooms of the Merchants Club
yesterday afternoon. A circular letter,
which had been prepared by II. E. High
ton, was read to the meeting. The letter
reads in part as follows:
''The subcommittee appointed by the
Half-million Club to invite the co-opera-
ton of progressive organizations and citi-
zens of San Francisco respectfully ask the
assistance and influence of the body you
represent and the presence of as large
number of its members as practicable at
the second meeting of the club, to be held
soon at the hall of the Chamber OF Com
merce.
without further detail than having
suggeStiyely presented an outline of the
purposes of the Half-million Club, we say
that those purposes converge first upon Sc
curing sound internal conditions which
will allow full sway to natural laws, not
withstanding occasional and temporary
distractions, and will ultimately give the
diversified phases of industry, business
and civilization itself"
The letter was referred to special COM
mittee to make such alterations as might
be deemed proper. After it has been acted
upon and reported by the subcommittee it
will be sent to the various commercial and
improvement organizations throughout
the country.

F4R-REACHING IN RESULTS.
Much Property Effected by the Bate Deci-
siOn

New YORK, March 4.-The decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
handed down to-day, unanimously sus-
tanning the decision of the lower court
in the case of the Bate Refrigera-
tor Company against Sultzberger, is
probably more far-reaching in its influence
and affects larger amount of property
than any decision in the court since the
'greenback" cases were disposed of.
This decision not only settled the contro-
versy, but when the parties directly inter
ested, viz. the General Electric Company
and the American Bell Telephone Com
pany on the one side and the Westinghouse
and the anti-Bell Telephone Company
on the other side, but also disposes
of very large number of other patents
which the public have assumed to have ex-
pired under the ruling of the lower court,
but which would have been revived If the
decision of the Supreme Court in this case
had been the other way, and it also short
ems the life OF great many patents which
have not yet actually expired.
The decision is against the position taken
by the General Electric Company and the
American Bell Telephone Company and
those associated with them on the appeal
and atfirms the decision previously rem
dered by the United States Circuit Court
in this circuit.
This decision terminates three Edison
patents for the carbon transmitter owned
by the American Bell Telephone Company,
by which it hoped to extend its control for
twenty-five years more, as would have
been the case had the decision been in
their favor.
A considerable number of patents owned
by the General Electric Company are also
disposed of by this decision, including
Edisons patent on the incandescent lamp,
regarding which there has been so much
litigation, and also his patent on
the multiple arc" system of distri-
button, and his patent on the socket for
incandescent lamps, which was recently
held to be valid by Judge Cox. Probably
there has been no case argued before the
Supreme Court since the war in the out
come of which so many lawyers are inter-
ested.

qORON1O'S Big BLAZE.
NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF PROPERTY
IN RUINS.
A DANGEROUS FIRE IN THE HEART
OF THE CANADIAN
CITY.

TORONTO, Ont, March 4.-Saturday nights
fire burned the three corners of Queen and
Yonge streets before it was controlled.
Loss $4,000. Three fremen were seri-
ously injured during the fire and had to be
taken to the hospital.
At 1890 this morning the fire was dis
covered issuing from the windows of Rob
ert Simpsons six-story dry-goods store, on
the corner of Queen and Yonge streets.
The fire originated in the packing-room,
and the flames rushing up the elevator
shaft communicated almost instantly to
every fiat.
The pressure from the mains was INSULT
cient to throw the water high enough, and,
famed by light breeze, the fire was
driven across Queen street to the north
side. Jamieson's large tailoring establish
ment was soon in flames, which extended
to the portions of Eaton's dry-goods estab-
lishment, department store, facing on
Queen street, but were prevented from en-
tering the main building.
From Jamieson's the fire extended north
to Sutcliffe's dry-goods store and burned it
to the ground. The Imperial Bank, across
the street, then caught fire, ana destroyed
the top fiat of that building. Henderson's
auction-room was next burned, while Buff
fields tailoring establishment and the
Black Horse Hotel were Quilted. Wanless'
iewelry-store was destroyed and the flames
communicated with Knox Church on
Queen street, one of the oldest Presby-
terrain places of worship in the city. The
spire was destroyed, falling with crash.
but the main body of the church was only
slightly damaged.
The fire ragged on the east side of Yonge,
south of Queen, and a vast square of stores
was burned. The fremen did their best
with the appliances at their disposal and
finally checked the flames. Following are
the losses and assurances: r. Simpson
loss $350,000, insurance 100000; J. Wan
less, loss $4,000, insurance 81 900; jamie
son, loss $4,000, fully insured; Sutcliffe,
loss SOC, 900, insurance $74, 900; Milne e. Co.,
loss $4,000, insurance $4,000; fremont
Hotel, loss $4,000, insurance $4,000; Knox
Church, loss $4,000, insurance $4,000.
In addition to this there are large I'M
ascertained losses caused by smoke and
water, destruction of street-car tracks, and
tearing down of trolley and electric-light
wires, roughly estimated at $3.50 900, max
ing total loss of $4,000, with insurance
of $470, 600.

HENDY'S WILL STANDS.

Motion for a New Trial.

After dragging about through the Pro-

ing as far as a verdict, the contest of the
will of Joshua. Hendy has again been sent
back for a new trial. The decision is
Judge Coffey's,. and with what reluctance
he does it he sets forth in his opinion, and
the motion for new trial was based on
two grounds-insutficienoy of the evidence
and error of the court in admitting evil
dence which should have been kept out.
Both of these grounds Judge Coffey up
holds, but his decision is based principally
upon the latter one-error of the court
The will was broken by the iury's verdict,
but by the granting of this motion it is,
for the time being, established again.
