MOUNT RAINIER'S ALTITUDE.
It Is 14,526 Feet Above Sea Level,
BY McClure's Observation.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. e.-The latest
computation of the altitude of Mount
Rainier, places Columbia Crest, the
highest point, 14,52S feet above the level
of the sea. These figures have been
deduced from observations made by
Professor Edgar Mcclure, who lost his
life While descending the mountain the
night of July 27, 1897. The computa-
ton was made by Professor E. H. Nc
Allister, occupying tine chair of ap-
piled mathematics in the University of
Oregon, to whom was referred Profess
sor McClure's memoranda of the
ascent. AS an evidence of the great
care and accuracy with which Profess
sor Mcclure carried out his observa-
tons, the result agrees within nine feet
with that obtained by the United
States geological survey of 1879, using
the most advanced means of triangula-
ton.

people at the Polo Athletic clubs box
ing bouts tonight. George Monroe
bested Johnny Johnson in six hot
rounds.
Mike Foley, the sailor, got a we'll
earned decision oyer Nelson Frazier in
the second bout.
The principal event was a 15-round
go between Sammy Kelly and Patsy
Broderick, at 116 pounds. The fighting
was fast from the first, Kelly having
the better of the argument. AT the
close of the ninth round Broderick was
pretty well marked up, while Kelly did
not show scratch. In the 18th round
Broderick came up strong and forced
the fighting, Kelly appearing very tired
and simply defended himself. Brodericb
could not keep up the pace, however
and in the 18th Kelly was on the ag-
gressive and stronger. Broderick bled
copiously from the mouth. In the 18th
both showed the weakening effects OF
their efforts, and neither had strength
enough TO land telling blow. The
referee declared Kelly the winner.
