New York, Sept. 11.-Just as the bugle
stripes were hauled down on the Unitesl
states steamship Amphitrite, lying off
Tompkin sville, S. l., the fierce 10 oking
Tuesday for the first time. II was fierce
but bioodless battle.
Monday night rowboat had put out
from Tompkinsvilie with a man Of wars
man hors de combat from too much
landsnan's grog. huddled in the stern.
The boat made directly for the pride
OF the coast defense" The officer in
charge of the watch had the disabled
marine lifted out of the boat and lugged
below.
Il want dollar for bringing that
duck out" said the boatrnaD
IAN right" answered the officer Come
around tomorrow, when he has Strengthened
out. and hen settle with you.''
Tuesday the ooatman approached and
demanded his dollar from the executive
officer. The latter found that the marine
was still UNIT for service, and so explained
TO the boatmaD.
THAT don't go with me- replied the
Staten Island Charon, who makes hand
some profit by ferrying intoxicated tars.
II don't leave till I get that dollar. Seen
We'll, my man, advise you to get away
now or you Will get into trouble"
But the boatman wanted money, not adj
vice. For an holr lie rowed about the Am
phitrite demanding his money Then lie
became abusive and said mean things about
the navy in general and those who wore
gold braid in particular.
bring out that three-iDch hose" was
the command OF the executive officer, and
the white -iacketed tars soon hustled the
hose up through Z hatchway.
Connect it and have one-tliird pressure
put on
This was done, and the 2rinning tars bore
the nozzle to the side of the vessel.
Now, you fellow out there said the
officer, speaking to the boatmaD, leave
or I'll turn the hose on you.''
go TO- was the reply, which was in
terrupted by stream OF water which took
him squarely in>the back and knocking him
off his seat.
Il stay here till get that dollar" roared
the enemy, as lie bent his broad back, and.
despite the steady stream OF water, rowed
against the tide and kept near the warsnip.
and the tars cheerfully obeyed. They
were washing out old grievances. They
had all been robbed by the boatrnen, who
have quadrupled prices on them.
The enemy was a very moist object,
but he was plucky. He fought hard, and
his flow of objections never ceased.
For fully fifteen minutes the battle con-
tinued before there was any indication Of
rout on the part of the enemy. The latter
did not weaken, but his boat had been
filling with water, and this, with the tide,
was too much for him. His arms could not
stand the strain, and he gradually drifted
away, but yelling with clenched fist raised: I:
s'I'Il get that dollar yet, you goid-laced
mugs I'llget--" but he was out OF heat
ing then
The enemy was routed
The first engagement of the Amphitrite
had resulted in victory, and another feather
had been added to the glory of Uncle Sans
White Squadron.

New York Has an Expert Female
Boxer.
Formal Challenge Issued to Any Bag
Puncher In the World, Male
or Female.

New York, Sept. 11.-Mrs. Edward q.
White, of this city, seems TO have demon
strated that it is possible for woman
to become expert i'll the use of boxing
gloves without losing any OF her nodesty
or wonianliness. Sbcis handsome, happy
looking wife of twenty-five, exceedingly
modest in manner and address, who holds
her own against male boxers of renown,
and is ready to meet all come ers n friendly

rity known as KID McGloom, accepted,
aud the pair appeared before a large au-
dicnce. The woman Won with ease, and
now MI McGloom is small potatoes among
the "pugs'' of Philadelphia.
Although she pridcs herself particularly
on her skill in bag punching. her sparring
exhibition with her husband the same day
proved her To be an equally skillful boxer.
Thanks to her nerve and careful training,
she is able to hold her own with most pro-
fessional male sparrers OF her weight.
The people Of Marion, Ind, had prac-
teal illustration OF Mrs. Whites superior
fighting ability last summer. while walk
ing along the street with woman friend
two toughs insulted them. Mrs. White
struck one Of the men a terrific blow with
her right fist and knocked him sprawling
and insensible on the sidewalk. The other
man took to his heels.
Mrs. White is five feet four inches tau
and weighs 10 pounds in street dress. She
has a chest expansion nf IS inches. Her
right arm bicep eXpansionis an inch and a
half, the great arm muscle measuring l 3
