stroll before retiring. He walked about
800 feet south in Plymouth place, and

JAPAN JOTIINGS.

One Hundred and Four Persons
Drowned Within Sight of Land
. Only Four Are Rescued.

Vancouver, B. c., March 11.-Accord-
ing to advices brought by the Empress
of India, which arrived this morning
from the orient, new question has
arisen in Japan in regard to Che none
tary system. the ministers of state and
other officials advocating an immediate
change to the gold standard. So far.
however, no official plan has been
brought forward, though it is stated
that a bill will be submitted to the diet
during the present session for the pro-
posed change in the currency Opinions
appear to be divided on the subject, Of
ficials generally advocating the change,
while the Osaka cotton manufacturers
and export merchants generally are
adverse to it.
Business generally remains very
slack, owing to the tightness of the
money market, and the unsettled state
of financial affairs.
A terrible accident happened on Sat
urday. Jan. %. to a boat crossing the
Haitang straits from Haikao. She had
los passengers on board and when not
far from the Haitang shore sank from
being overloaded. One hundred and
four persons were drowned, among
whom were three children, son and
two daughters of the chief pastor of
the American Methodist churches in
Haitang.

AS TO the coming fight" said Da-
vies, Il will say this, that my sympa-
thies are with the American repre-
sentative. Corbett is a heavy weight
and Fitzsimmons a middle weight. All
things being equal and the men in
good condition. it seems that the heavy
weight ought TO win. Judging from the
preparatory work that they are doing
now, il seems both are in earnest, and
a grand battle is assured.
In going to San Francisco my idea
is to get up a match for Armstrong
and Jeffries. A large number CT heavy
weights will be on the Pacific coast.
and Jimmy Anthony. the Australian
feather weight champion, is at present
in Frisco. / may remain on the coast

In regard to the condition of pugi-

contest, there will be a revival of in

country, but over the world

GREAT ADVERTISING.
Fitz Has Fight With His Great
Dane. Yarrum

Chicago. March IA special from
Carson, New, says: Bob Fitzsim-
mons had an exciting and not entirely
a bloodless battle with the Great Dane,
Yarrum. last evening, in which honors
were about evenly divided. The big
brute has lately shown himself to be
I possessed of a vicious disposition, and
on several occasions has attacked
newspaper correspondents who visited
the ranch in quest Of news. Just be-
fore dinner last evening Fitzsimmons
was pitching quoits with his trainers,
when the party was startled by an I'M
earthly noise Yarrum had attacked
a calf belonging TO Cook. near the
front gate. and the terrified animal was
struggling to reach the COW pen, 100
yards distant Fitzsimmons grabbed
heavy buggy whip and started to
the rescue, and arrived just as Yarrum
seized the believing calf by the neck
and threw il To the ground. The Great
Dane was infuriated by the taste of
blood. and paid no attention to the
blows showeTed upon him by his mas
ter for several seconds. At last, how
ever the brute released the calf and
sprang with a growl at the lanky New
Zealander. FitZSimmons stood his
ground and beat the brute off, at the
same time working around toward the
the building was a pitchfork. Fitz-
simmons grabbed it and stuck the tines
into Yarrums body and beat him over
the head with it. The dog fought back
and refused TO bulge an inch. and the
battle royal between man and beast
lasted nearly half an hour. The fight
was watched by his three trainers from
safe positions on the fence, not one
caring to venture near the excited dog.
He was finally forced into the yard,
and left to lick his wounds and medi-
tate upon the folly Of fighting prize
fighters.
The two fighters missed each other
by an accident yesterday morning.
Corbett was at the penitentiary, where
he was much interested in the prehis-
toric footprints in the sandstone at
that place. While Corbett was stand
ing around the sandstone Fitzsim-
mons, robed in pair of light canvas
trousers and a blue sweater. passed
the place. It has been his custom,
heretofore, to spend an hour or so at
the institution, but this time, although
he did not know that Cor5ett was in
side the grim building, he logged along
on down the muddy road and barely .
missed meeting Corbett.

CUBANs IN HAVANA.
Thew Sack Stores and Burn Houses
the Case of Ruiz.

Havana, March H., via Key Vest
Monday night a band of well-known
Cuban patriots entered the strongly
fortified town of Bejucal, in Havana
province, sacking all the stores of the
place and burning 10 houses "Details
are lacking. 1t is also reported that
another party of rebels, commanded by
Castillo. captured the town of Quivi-
can and burned several houses of the
place.
The DR.. Ruiz incident is still occupy
ing the attention OF Consul-General
Lee. Spain has ordered a fresh in
vestigation of the facts of Ruiz's
death. but General Lee is quoted as
saving that he does not clearly see
how the investigation can be properly
carried out. No witnesses will testify
against Major Fondeviela or the war
den of the Jail. who could only do so
on fear of their lives. Personal friends
of General Lee affirm as soon as he
shall have settled the pending matters
he has on hand and got them in proper
shape, he Will resign his post and
return to the United States.
A letter received from Santiago de
Cuba, dated the 4th inst, refers to an
incident which shows the utter lack
of consideration the Spanish authori-
ties have for representatives of foreign
powers. By order of the chief of po-
lice the house of Mr.. Robert Mason.
pro-consul and acting Chi
nese consul, was thoroughly searched,
but nothing found of compromising
nature. Mr.. Mason was not present
during the search and as soon as he
heard of the outrage he at once re-
ported the fact to the British consul
Mr.. Fred Ramsden, who called
on the civil government and ample
apologies were given on the spot.
