RYAN WINS TWO FIGHTS.
The Australian Wins Easily From Two
Good Men.

Australian Jim Ryan. in whom near
ly every Astorian sport is interested,
Is once again himself and is demon
strating that he can still uphold his I'll
tie of champion Of Australia, In a
letter to Mr. James Keating, Ryan de-
scribes modestly his victories, His first
battle was with Thomas Reagan, a well
known heavyweight, at Pine Bluffs,
Ryan won in the fifth round, His win
nlngs amounted that night to $500,
On Christmas day. at Hot Springs,
Arkansas, Ryan again met George
Pierce of New orleans, The crowd
which assembled was the biggest ever
seen in the state, In the second round
Ryan started in to put Pierce out and
rushed, but the latter's elbow struck
Ryan on the shoulder, severely frac-
turing the collar bone, After that the
Australian fought with one hand, the
other being practically useless. In the
tenth round Ryan swung on .Pierce's
nose and ended the contest. A great
amount of money changed hands on the
result.
Ryan is pretty badly hurt, but can
not yet tell the extent OF his injury
Otherwise he is in the very best OF
condition. He said nothing of his sched'
uled fight with Mysterious Billy Smith
in New York, The event has probably
been postponed.

CONSPIRACY PLOTTED.
Against General weyler by Those Who
overthrew Campos.

New York. January s.-A copyrighted
dispatch to the World from Havana via
Tampa, dated January 5. says:
An intrigue is on foot here against
General weyler, as year ago there
was an intrigue against General Cam
pos and that fine old gentleman was
compelled to retire from Cuba. The
leader of the Union Constitutional par
ty Spanish Conservatives, whose pol
icy has always been that OF rule or
ruin, at that time find that General
Campos was disposed to recognize 9TH
ers than themselves plotted against
him in Spain as well as in Cuba, and
he was forced to retire. Already some
Of the men who led the movement
against Campos are engaged in the
same kind of plotting against weyler.
There are unmistakable Indications
that Weylers official term will soon
end. Private intelligence shows that a
crisis may be precipitated any day.

Seattle. January s.--A special to the
Post-IntelIigencer from Port Angeles
says:
The four masted British bark Andri-
ma. Captain b. " Smith. arrived here
today in tow Of the tug Tyee. and cap
tain and crew are thankful that they
are In port again. having escaped go
ing ashore on the Vancouver coast near
Cape Beale January 6. The ship was
deserted by the crew and II was only
by good fortune that she was saved.
Captain Smith says that for four days
he had seen aneIther sun or stars. as
during the entire time they were sur
rounded by a dense fog. At noon. on
Wednesday. the shout OF breakers
ahead" was the first warning he had
OF his dangerous position. A heavy
sea was running at the time. Two
anchors were then let 20. and as the
big ship rounded one OF the cables
parted, leaving her within 100 feet Of
shore and In immediate danger OF part
Ing the other cable The breakers were
running forty feet high and as there
was no possibility, apparently. Of saving
the vessel II was finally decided to
launch the boats and attempt to reach
shore. Several boats were eapsized as
soon as launched. but eventually the
crew Of thirty-three men succeeded in
getting in two Of the lifeboats. but the
boats filled before they could get safely
through the surf. and two OF the men
we're washed overheard, but were res
cued by their comrades. A landing
was at last effected and that night
the sailors took up their quarters under
the lifeboat.
In the morning the weather had mod
Grated, and as the ship stlIl held to
her anchor. the captain and crew again
succeeded in getting aboard They man
aged to get under way before they
could be caught in the under-tow. The
tug Tyee shortly afterward took the
,Andrina in tow. bringing her safely to
port.
The Andrina registers 2542 tons and
is among the largest British ships that
visit the Sound. She came from Aus
tralla in ballast.

DURRANT MUST HANG.
LENGTHY ARGUMENTS ADVANCED
FOR EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
DO Not Favorable Impress Governor Budd and
the Murderer Must Die.

Sacramento. CAL, May 15.-If externaa
appearances go for anything. Governor
Budd was not favorably impressed by
the arguments advanced by the at
torneys in their plea for executive Glenn
ency In behalf OF Durrant, the con-
semned murderer Of Blanche Lamont
1t was argued that Durrant's trial had
not been fair; that public sentiment had
been aroused against him, and that the
newspapers had so prejudiced Durrant's
case that had any juror voted not guilty
ne would have been mobbed. Absolutely
no credence was apparently placed by
anyone. unless by the prisoners at
torneys, upon the alleged confession OF
Convict John Rosenburg. who declared
he had murdered Blanche Lamont for
800 at the instigation Of a stranger.
Rosenburg was committed to San Quen-
tin prison 10 days after Durrant arrived
there.

ATTEMPT TO VICTIMIZE.

Valley Falls Woman Made MisrepresentA-
tions to Obtain Goods at Local House.
Business men of the present day, partic-
ularly those In the installment branch, are
compelled to keep their thinking caps on
at all hours of the day and night in order
to forestall the attempts made by sharpers
to swindle them. A case of this kind
which happened a few days ago has just
come to light. Monday woman visited a
local establishment and selected $18 worth
of goods, upon which she paid "a, and was
to pay the balance In weekly payments.
She ordered the goods sent to 220 North
Bend street, saying that was her place OF
residence.
The goods, according the arrangements,
were sent to the place an hour later. When
the delivery man went to the place desig-
mated he found the woman standing in
front of the house numbered go. She
claimed the goods, saying that she had
given the wrong number. When the de-
livery man reported the circumstances at
the store upon his return the manager
thought there was something suspicious
about 1t and investigated it. He found
that the woman who purchased the goods
lived at Valley Falls and was simply visit
ing at the house on North Bend street.
He went to Valley Falls and succeeded In
locating the woman. The result of the
interview was that the goods were taken
from her and returned to the store.
