San Francisco, Nov. 30.-Joe Choy- nski of San Francisco and Jim Jsf- fries of Los Angeles fought twenty rounds to draw tonight before the National club. Choynski conceded fifty pounds in weight and on this ac- count was compelled to depend on his superior ring generalship and long experience to avoid the rushes of his giant opponent, Jeffries, who, though he displayed much improvement in the art of defense and attack, still lacks experience.
 He failed to follow up Choynski when opportunity offered. On the other hand Choynski fought with ex- cellent judgment. Even his oldest ad- mirers were surprised at his general ship. He avoided clinching except when absolutely necessary and his

FOR THE YUKON TRADE.
Alaska Commercial Company to Bui d
 Four Steel Steamers.

Jacksonville, Ind, Nov. 30.-Cap- tain Niebauer, General Manager Will son and Superintendent Schloos of the Alaska Commercial company, we're here today negotiating with Captain E. J. Howard for the building of four steel steamers for the Yukon river.
 General Manager Wilson says that the people in the east and middle west have really but a faint conception of the great number of persons who will join the rush to the Klondyke next spring, and that the rush to the god fields of California was nothing to what the wild stampede to thei K,on- dyke will be.
 Already thousands of people in ev- cry state are getting ready for the trip. His advice to these prospectors is that they go pr5pared to withstand the rigors of the following win.er, es- pecially as there will be no reason to fear a scarcity of food.
 MT. Wilson left tonight for New York, but will return in a few days. The boats to be built in Jeffersonville will be shipped to the mouth of the Yukon and there put together.

 Noted Greek Scholar.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Dr. Daniel Quinn, the head of the Greek depart ment at the Catholic university, and one of the most eminent scholars of Greek in America, has resigned his position as a member of the faculty of that institution.
 Dr. Quinn has declared his inten- tion of going back to the University of Athens and resuming his work on the lines which he was pursuing before he joined the Catholic university corps.
 Three other professors, it is said on good authority, are now making plans for severing their connections The trouble between Dr. Quinn and the university authorities is principally centered in his inability to conform himself to the methods new dominat- ing the course of studies.

E Washington. Nov. 30.-Meanbers of in their appearance here for the reg ular session, which convenes Text Monday. Up to this time there have been scarcely more than half a dozen arrivals each day. From new on, however, it is expected that rush will begin and that full attendance will be in their places on the opening day. Few of the leaders of either house are here yet. Neither Speaker Read nor MT. Dingley, the floor leader of the majority, will reach Washing ton until Saturday or Sunday. With the exception of the pronounced and radical pro and anti Cuban congress men, the members of both houses as a rule seem to be holding their judg- ments dn abeyance until they ascer- tain from official sources exactly what the situation is as to Cuba.
 In the matter of the currency it seems already established that the democrats and their free silver allies will oppose stubbornly anything the majority is likely to propose, and the fact that the opposition in the senate seems insurmountable, inclines many of the republican members of the house to the opinion that it would be wisdom not to attempt any legis a. tion whatever
