AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
Seventy-second Anniversary of Its
Establishment.

New York. May 23.@The seventy
second anniversary OF the establish
ment of the American Tract society
was celebrated today with religious
exercises in the Broadway tabernacle
Various organizations connected with
the church conducted separate exer-
cises during the day. A report vas
read in the evening by Rev. c. L.
Shearer, showing the work Of the So
ciety for the year. The report deals
largely with the effects of the in
creased financial stringency of the
year" which it is said led to scrutin-
izing revision of the modes of work
and various reforms in the interest Of
economy. The salaries of all en-
ployees have been cut down. the cost
of running repositories reduced. the
depository at Rochester having been
discontinued. and the issue of new pub
LEGATIONS has been greatly restricted.
The report saws that most of all to be
regretted has been the falling off Of
legacies of the year to the amount OF
over $40. 900 as compared with the pre-
csding year, and then states that, not
withstanding the hard times, the sales
during the year have been slightly
larger than those of the preceding year
and the trust fund has been somewhat
increased. 1t is said that the rental Of
the new building has occasioned dis

locations added TO the society's list dur
ing the year are rs. Cash grants to
foreign missions of evangelical
churches for the year total less than

IN THE RING.

Denver, May ga special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Cheyenne,
Wyo., says:
The battle between Ross, the Iron
man. of Denver. and Davis, Fort
Russell soldier, came off near the Colo
RADIO line on schedule time-2 p. m. to-
day-resultiag Ia 2 victory for Ross,
If the referees decision is final, and
he says it is. Ross seconds were
Johnnie Green and Kid Stuart of
Cheyenne. Davis was seconded by
Eddie Myers of Streater. ILL.,, and Har-
ringtcn. the heavyweight champion of
Wyoming. Both men entered the ring
in fine condition. Ross Weighing one
and one-half pounds over $780,. The
referee, Joseph Lynott, made the an
nouncements and then ordered the
men to CLASH hands.
AT the call of time both men went
70 work with vim, but ii was evil
dent that Davis had less experience
than his fistic opponent.
The leading was all done by Ross,
who seemed as agile as a, cat in get
ting away from terrific lunges. Ross
played for Davis body. but changed
his tactics after the third round on
account of the claims of fouling made
by spectators. Neither could hit hard,
although ii looked as if Ross would
eventually knock Davis out by his left
hand jabs, but the gameness OF the
soldier and his ability to stand punish
ment prevented him from collapsing.
The men fought each other like tigers
UP TO the thirty-first and last round.
Then Davis was nearly out, and to
save him from certain defeat his sec
onds laid claim to foul and refused
to allow their man to continue, where
upon the fight was awarded to the
young Hebrew. The fight was for a
purse of $500 and the championship OF

PHILADELPHIA. May 23.-After being
twice chased by Spanish gunboats and
passing through a perfect storm of
shot, which splashed in the water
across the vessels bow, the British
fruit steamer Ethelred passed through
the exciting ordeal unscathed and ar
rived in this port today after a five
days run from Port Antoine. Jamaica.
When the Ethelred left here on Nav
II, 1t was the intention of Captain John
D. Hart to accompany her. but he was
arrested as he was about to step on the
gangplank 10 go aboard. AS it was.
his invalid daughter was a passenger.
1t is supposed that agents of the Span
lsh government in this city had noti-
fed the Spanish authorities at Havana
that Hart would be on the vessel.
hence the effort to hold up the Ethel
red in Cuban waters.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruisers occurred off Cane Maysi. on
the trip down. Just after dusk on sun
day evening, May is. a gunboat with
out any lights, shot out from under the
Maysi caDes and. crowding on all
steam, steered directly for the fruit
vessel. After steaming for an hour.
without gaining an inch. the gunboat
turned searchlight on the other yes
sci. All steam was crowded on the
Ethelred. which was beginning to show
the SDaniard a clean pair of heels.
when a cloud of smoke belched from
the cruisers side and a second later a
solid shot cut the water a half mile
ahead of her bows. Then came a, sec
ond and a third shot, each nearer than
the others. Captain Israel kept on his
course, and after an hours chase the
Spaniard dropped from the race.
The second chase happened last
Thursday Afternoon, in the exact spot
where the attempt to hold the vessel
occurred. Just as the Ethelred rounded
Cape Maysi. a big Spanish gunboat of
the newest type started out from I'M
der the cape. and gave chase to the
Ethelred. For two hours the chase was
kept IN, enlivened now and then by a
solid shot throwing up sheet of white
spray just ahead of the swift vessel
bows 1t began to look as if this Span
lard meant TO chase the Ethelred clear
to the Delaware caDes, when another
steamship was sighted and the gunboat
sheered off, and gave vigorous chase to
the newly discovered steamer.

New York, May 23.-In the glove
contest last night Casper Leon OF TINS
city, defeated Edward Vaughn OF
Trenton, N ]. Vaughn was struck
on the jaw and knocked down. His
head struck the floor, and he became
unconscious, and was taken TO the
Manhattan hospital, where he has not
recovered consciousness. He sustained
a conclusion of the brain and posi-
bly, fracture of the skull.
Leon, the referee. Jimmy Carroll; j.
E. Kennedy. manager of the National
Athletic club, at which the contest was
held, the time keeper and seconds
were arrested. Leon was released on
$1,000 bail. for examination. The
others also gave bail.
When Vaughn was knocked uncon-
scious there was great excitement and
Dr. Finney was summoned.
The physician found that Vaughn S
heart was scarcely beating. The doc
about two hours. and then Vaughn
opened his eyes. He did not, however,
regain complete consciousness.
He is suffering" said the physician,
Simply from shock. There is no cere-
bral hemorrhage. The serious effect of
the blow was due to the fact that
Vaughn was nearly exhausted when
struck. That is risk every fighter
runs. He will undoubtedly recover. AT
the Manhattan hospital, to which
Vaughn was removed, the physicians
were not so confident of Vaughn's re-
covery but thought that the chances
were in his favor

the bod of a woman struck q large
sign which hung on the outside of the
building and 10 which he chung for
support.
The sign was torn from its fasten-
ings and fell with crash TO the street
The woman was Mrs. Bowles, who had
precipitated herself from the third floor
10 the street below, when she found
that egress from the house By way of
the stairs was checked by the flames.
She was picked up and taken to a hos
pital. Lamont did not fall to the street.
On the top floor the widest sort of
panic had seized the tenants, among
whom were Mrs. Mossway and her
daughter.
Most of the tenants, Including Miss
Macdonald and Mr.. Pleas. had escaped
to the roof.
Mrs. Mossway, who lost her life, was
sleeping with her little daughter when
she was aroused by the smoke. She ran
into the hall and gave the alarm, and
then went back for her daughter. When
she started TO return the smoke and
flames drove her again to her room.
She attempted TO open the window, but
it did not yield readily, and she broke
the glass with her hands The window
would not open and even If 1t had there
would have been. little chance for her,
as 1t was protected on the outside by
iron bars. When the fremen searched
the house they found the little girl dead
in bed. the mother lying on the floor
blistered by heat and almost dead from
suffocation. She was removed to a hos
pital where she died three hours later.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. Bowles re-
covered consciousness at the HOSPITAL,
but no hopes of her ultimate recovery
are ntertained. She arrived in the
city three days ago from Boston on a
shopping tour. She is about 30 years OF
age.

London, May 23.-The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph in Epirus gives
p terrible picture of the excuses of
the Italians while travelling from Arta
to Seaverda. He says: They stole
brandy and drank it like water. Armed
only with revolvers and bayonets. by
the tirl12 they reached Seaverda they
were uuarrelling fiercely. The villagers.
thoroughly alarmed, got in readiness to
fight and the situation became serious.
A Greek tried to pacify a Garibaidian,
who was about to dash his brains out
with a stone, whereupon an Italian
fred and wounded the GaIibaldian.
Instantly the cry was raised; A
Greek has been killed" and the VII
layers began to fire their rifles. The
firing became general, but the Italians
displayed a flag of truce and the en-
barkation was affected though with
great difficulty. Several officers told
me they did not expect TO reach lano
alive. as their ruffianly soldiers would
surely kill them"
