The marvellous growth Of Mexico's

Reported CessiOn to Russia Once
More Comes to the Front.
NEW YORK, Oct A special to
the Herald from London says: With
the reported cession of Port Arthur
to Russia, which, however, has since
been semi-ofncially denied from ST
Petersburg, the eastern question has
suddenly come to the front again. Min
lister Kato, the Japanese representa-
tive at the court of st. James, in an
interview said: There need be no
mystery as to our delay in evacuating
the Lao Tung peninsula. The Japan
csc are simply awaiting for the first
payments stipulated by the treaty of
Shimonoseki. When these payments
are made the Japanese troops will be
withdrawn. I don't think that Russia
will press for evacuation only Rather
should say she will urge China to
pay the necessary portion of the in
demnity.
Japan was forced to yield Port
Arthur on the plea that her occupation

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.Lw. R.
Vice, ex-vice president of the old Cali
fornia club, believes that if the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight were brought off
here in California it would mean over
100000 profit to the state. 'Dud"
White, one of San Francisco's promi-
nent sporting men, had quite a talk
with Mr.. Vice today about raising a
purse for the fight to come to Cali
fornia. The sporting men interested
in it are very secret about their plans
just at present and it will be some
days before anything definite is known.
The talk has reached the Olympic
club. Manager w. ]. Kennedy said
today that he would give Corbett and
Fitzsimmons a chance to box limi-
ted engagement before the Olympic
club. The Australian, however, would
object to this, as Corbett is too popu-
lar at the Olympic club.

CHEEK CLAIM
United States Makes Demand. Upon
the Siumese Government.

WASHINGTON. Oct 4.-The United
States has called upon the Siamese
government to settle what is known
as the Cheek claim. Instructions nave
been sent to John Barrett minister
resident at Bangkok. to request an i'm
mediate settlement of this claim.
This claim was made to the state de-
partment some years ago by DR.. M. A.
Cheek, who recently died in Siam. 1t
was caused by the action of the Siam
csc government in confscating prop
erty belonging to him. From his
statement, made to the department.
and other papers forwarded by Min
lister Barrett, it appears that Cheek
entered into contract with the Siam
ese government to cut the teak wood
which abounds in that country and TO
ship it to a market The Siamese
government advanced. him 100000
tekals to assist him to buy elephants
and implements, etc. Dr. Cheek, in
addition, put large sum of money
into the enterprise and commenced to
carry out his contract The Sianese
government became dissatisfied with
his operations, and without any init
nation whatever, seized all the prop
enty. claiming that he had broken one
of the provisions Of the contract.

BUTTE, Mont. Oct 4.-Hon. W. A.
Clarke, the millionaire mine owner and
politician, who is credited with an am
bition to secure the nomination. for the
vice presidency on the Democratic
ticket, has received from Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, notice of his selec-
ton as the Montana representative on
the national central committee of
Democratic bimetallists, organized at
the Memphis convention. In accepting
the honor. in a letter written today,
W. A. Clarke says:
I am convinced that the only hope
for the restoration of silver lies in the
success of the important movement in
augurated by the distinguished mem
bers of the Democratic party who met

the presidency. I believe that this
opinion is universally held by the
Democrats of this state, and that you
may confidently rely upon the delega-

is not an unequivocal and outspoken
bimetallist on the basis of 16 to l.
