Central Palace was crowded tonight
by the friends and admirers of kid"
Lavigne. The benefit was given in
honor of his departure for London.
where he will meet Dick Burge at the
National Sporting Club for $4,000 a
side. The programme was excellent.
Lavigne opened by sparring with
Harry Woods of California, and re-
ceived a rousing reception. Woods got
lot of punishment in the first round,
the kid giving his left about the
head and occasionally varying the per-
formance by driving in with his right.
Lavigne was again the aggressor in
the second round, showing very pretty
science in short-arm fighting The third
and fourth rounds were rattlers, La
vigne doing all the fighting and never
letting up on the Californian
The final bout was between Lavigne
and Tommy Ryan of Chicago. Ryan
started off quick, leading for Lavigne's
body. Lavigne stood in, both men put
ting UP plenty of science. Ryan hit
hard all through the second round. La
vigne stood up and got in three or four
that had plenty of power behind them
The last two rounds were repetitions
of the others, both men hitting hard
which pleased the onlookers, who gave
them rouSing Send-off.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-The

bility as evidence of the depositions Of
the officers and heads of departments
of the Southern Pacific, taken at the
investigation by the Pacific RAILROADS
Commission.
Mr.. Hayne, for the Railway Commits

to look after the welfare of the corpora

was refused. The chief witnesses were
Paul Neumann, former Attorney Gen
eral for the ex-Queen, and Fred. Hay

was that the accused had tried to nego-
tiate with Hayselden and his attorney,
Neumann, for a cessiOn of the island
of LAM to a syndicate of sporting men
To make it a Monte Carlo, where races,
prize fighting, lotteries and the like

''The affair before us this morning

monious management of the road There

Japanese Typhoon.
ASTORIA (Wash), Jan. 9.-Advices
by the steamer Rhosina which arrived
from Yokohama via Honolulu to-day,
tell of terrific experience the cruiser
Baltimore had from December 9th to
9th in a typhoon in the China Sea. The
barometer ranged from 2S to 90, and
her officers report the typhoon the worst
ever experienced. The vessel advanced
not over one mile an hour for three
days.
Boatswain Jessen was washed over
board and lost, and carpenter Cooper
was thrown against one of the big guns
and killed, and seven of the crew were
seriously, but not fatally injured. Con-
siderable damage was done to the yes
sci. The engines, however, worked to
perfection.
The Baltimore behaved admirably,
and the officers have only words of
praise for her. The cruiser was ex-
pected to sail for San Francisco on
January 9th. She was twenty days
from Yokohama to Honolulu.

THE UNION JACK.
Applauded in Montreal, and the Stars
and Stripes Kissed.
The Theater Audience Yelled With
Delight When "'God Save the
Queen'' Was Sung.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a Recorder
special from Montreal says: There was
no riot last night at the Academy of
Music, but there was much disturbance.
The picture of the statue of liberty
was Missed, the picture of the fort on
the Hudson was hissed, and in the sec
ond act after the first march, in which
several small American flags appeared,
nothing would do but the waving of a
union jack carried by an Englishman.
The excitement then was tremendous.
The gallery, filled with McGiH men,
volunteers and others, attracted by
some of Rices extravagant remarks in
the States, started a storm of hisses
Jeers and groans, interspersed with
cries for The union jack" THE union
jack!" while the people downstairs,
who did not want row, tried in vain
to quiet them.
The house was packed, and the noise
almost terrifying. Mr.. Seagrave, who
played Alonzo, brought out and waved
union jack of tremendous size Then
they cried for an Englishman to carry
1t, and only when Mr.. Seagrave an
nounced that he was an Englishman
did they quiet down.
Later the appearance of the stars and
stripes was greeted with mingled Kisses
from above and applause from below.
Fortunately Rice reconsidered his in
tention of again replacing the picture
of the Queen in the dissolving views
which had been given, instead of the big
stars and stripes that caused the row
on Monday. This was what the 1000
in the gallery had been waiting for,
and they were agreeably disappointed
and received the Queens picture with
applause and yells that could be heard
for blocks.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-Benjamin
Johnson, resident partner of the New
York banking and brokerage firm of
Kendall & Whitlock, which has an office
in this city, has been absent from his
office since Tuesday, and an examina-
tion of the books of the Philadelphia

was something seriously wrong with
his accounts.
The presumption is that unfortunate

disappearance. w. B. Kendall this af-

unchanged, little if any change having
been noticed in his condition.
His children, accompanied by Private

in response to summons sent them on

coined by their father.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-Chief Of
Police Crowley gave orders to-day to
arrest all the proprietors, clerks and
other attaches of the downtown pool
rooms, who were selling tickets on the
races at the Ingleside track. Up to 3
p. m. no arrests had been made, per-
haps for the reason that the results of
the races had not been bulletined in
the rooms, and no tickets had been
cashed although the odds were posted
on the first two races and tickets were
being freely sold.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has taken all its instruments out
of all the poolrooms, thus shutting off
all communication with the track.
A number of police officers attired in
citizens clothes were in the poolrooms
waiting for the returns of the races to
be bulletined, and arrests will then fol-
low. All the officers have bought pools.
Edward Corrigan, a director of the
1ngleside track, in an interview said:
1.-The substance of our arrangement is
this: The entries to Ingleside track
won't be furnished to any poolroom in
the State. Heretofore they have been
taking the information telegraphed to
otOckIoh anu SenQlnS II pack mere I'M
mediately by telephone.
"Of course, we could get quite a reve-
nue. if we saw fit to furnish the pool
rooms with the news.
Il don't know how long this arrange
ment may last. The chances are it will
be in effect quite while.
There's one thing, the people are not
going to be cursing the race track for
what is done in the dives down town.
''Our object is just to keep the track
clean and free from the evil effects of
poolrooms. When a man bets at a race
track he sees the race and he under
stands why he lost his money. In the
poolrooms he may be betting after the
race is over.''
