Bob Fitzsimmons' methods Of train
ing are the cause of comment among
the people of Carson. He runs into
town every day, usually covered with
persplration, and stands or sits about
until he is ready to return to his quar-

His dress does not appear to be suffi
cient protection for an ordinary man
against the sharp night air. which is
regarded in this mountainous region as
the cause of a great deal Of throat

GREEKS DEFIANT.
The POpulace in Favor of Resisting
the Notes of the Powers.

LONDON, March A dispatch to
the Daily Mail'' from Athens says:
Premier Deyannis has had a long con-
ference with King George daily, and
the Cabinet is now sitting to discuss
the character of the reply to be given
to the identical notes of the Powers
and the military measures necessitated
by the situation.
Thessaly, where the Turkish troops
on the frontier are taking up an irritat-
ing attitude, is likely to produce a col
lision at any moment
Meanwhile preparations continue for
mobilizing and dispatching of further
reinforcemnets to the seat of trouble.
A monster demonstration has been
arranged for tomorrow in favor of the
policy of resistance to the mandate of
the Powers. That is the dominant
feeling of the populace, and the belief
is universal that even if Colonel Vassos
is recalled by the Government his Of
ficers will resign their commissions and
join the insurgents.
The Crown Prince, the members of
the Cabinet and many officers were
present yesterday at the obsequies of
the late metropolitan officer, held in
the Cathedral. The Metropolitan of
Athens preached a long funeral ora
ton.
The Greek newspapers unite in de-
claring that Greece cannot withdraw
her troops from Crete without dishonor.
Signor Barmbatow, the Italian Dep
uty, with 100 Sicilian volunteers, start

The Athens correspondent of the
Daily Mail'' states that in conse-
quence of the refusal of NJ. Delyan-
mis-, the Greek Premier, to send fur
ther reinforcements to Crete, the Min
lister of War, NJ. Smolenit, has re-
sigend. Colonel Metaxis has been ap-
pointed to succeed him. Metaxis is
not a member of the Beulo Legislative
chamber), where the appointment is
unpopular, but he is said to be the
nominee of King George.
A dispatch to the Daily Mall from
Constantinople says that the special
committee appointed by the Porte to
inquire into the condition of the Turk
ish fleet, has reported to the Sultan
that twenty-five vessels are ready for
service.
The Military Committee has reported
to the Sultan that $4,000 troops have
been already modified or dispatched
to the frontier. Orders will be given
tonight to raise the number to 120,-

ATHENS, March "a dispatch from
Canea at noon states that an Austrian
torpedo boat has toWed there a Greek
vessel with provisions from Kissamo.
ATHENS, March 3.-The Greek
newspapers are unanimous in counsel
ing resistance to the mandate of the
Powers. The semi-official "Proia"
says: We cannot understand why a
Graeco-Turkish war should threaten
the peace of Europe, but we warn Eu-
rope that an injustice against HELEN
ism would render peace impossible.
The "Neaphimeris," the Government
organ, hopes that the reply of NJ. DEFY
annis to the identical notes of the
Powers will conform to the desire of
the Greek nation.

SAN PEDRO HARBOR.
What President Huntington Has to
Say About the Decision.

| NEW YORK, March 3.-Collis P.
Huntington, President of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, was inter
viewed to-day regarding the report of
the United States Harbor Commission
ers designating San Pedro as the place
| where there should be constructed q
| deep sea harbor in Southern California.
At the outset Mr.. Huntington observed
| that People understanding the report
| fully would consider the findings of the
Commissioners report as showing that
San Pedro is the better place for the
harbor of commerce and refuge"
Il infer from the reports said the in
terviewer that the Southern Pacific
Company contemplates a road from
Riverside to San Pedro, following the
Santa Ana River and the report seems
to be partially based upon the fact that
considerable distance will thereby be
saved in going around by way of Los
Angeles"
Yes" was the answer II think the
distance making the proper allowance
by equalling the grades, will be some
thing like thirty miles shorter by that
route than via Los Angeles"
Then you think of building that
way?"
oh no, we had not thought of it, for
Los Angeles is too important a city to
be Sidetracked, but commerce is arbi-
trary, and always gravitateS to the
cheapest line, so that some time or 9TH
er the chances are that the heavy ton
mage will take the shorter line, although
tha could not hurt Los Angeles to any
extent, for it is the second city in Cali
fornia, and there is no city in the State,
l think, that is more up to date in util-
izing it's advantages than that city"
DO you think this report will settle
the question as to where the harbor is
to be?"
"Well, it would rather seem so, as the
report seems to call for an expenditure
of about $6.0OO0OO before they get a
harbor of commerce and refuge. /
somewhat doubt if the Government is
willing to spend so large a sum there.
when in my opinion, less than half the
amount would give better accommoda-
tions for commerce and a safer harbor
than could be gotten at San Pedro by
the expenditure of this large amount
mentioned by the Commissioners"
will the Southern Pacific do it's bus
ines at San Pedro when the harbor is
completed?"
Why, it almost goes without saying
that we shall go to the best place, as we
are as well fixed to-day to do business
at one place as at the other, with the ex-
ception of the pier we have at Port Los
Angeles"

Twenty-ROund Contest.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Tommy
West of New York met and clearly out
pointed Joe Walcott (colored) of Bos-
ton in a twenty-round boxing bout at
the Broadway Athletic Club tonight.
West was always entitled to more
points than Wolcott, and when Referee
Dick Roche gave his decision there
was no dissenting voice from any of the
5000 persons who witnessed the mill.
The men weighed in at 100 pounds.
In the first round West staggered
Wolcott with a beautiful left smash in
the Jaw, which sent the colored boy
through the ropes.

the second round, and it was give and
take between the two men up to the
ninth round with honors about even.
West took the lead in the tenth, rush
ing his man about the ring, swinging
repeatedly ON the head and body
The battle from this point was we'll
contested, but generally iii Vests ia
vor In the fourteenth round Wolcott
forced the fighting and in clinch land
ed on the wind The crowd yelled foul
but the blow was permissible under
the rules.
IN tne lIteenIn west punched WOl-
colt to a standstill. and when they quit
the negro was splitting blood. The next
four rounds saw Wolcott mainly on the
defensive, with West landing hard on
the mouth and nose at will.
Round 20-Wolcott led off with
light on the face. West replied with
two lefts on the face. West tried hard
for right swing, but Wolcott clinched
After they broke away West sent in
two hard lefts on Wolcotts stubby
nose. which put it out of gear. and
followed this up with right and left
slashes on the body. Wocott rushed
and hugged when his blows did not
land. He was clearly outponted, and
when the bout was at an end the referee
decided in Vests favor.
The verdict was greeted with loud
and prolonged cheers.

PHILADELPHIA March 3.-The big
power-house of the Union Traction
Company, at the junction of Thirteenth
and Mount Vernon streets and Ridge
avenue, was destroyed by fire tonight.
Two men lost their lives and several
others were slightly injured.
The dead are: A. B. Winder, aged
S5 years, who was knocked down and
run over by a fire engine, and another
man whose body has not been identi-
fed, who was killed by a falling wall.
The damage will amount to about
$250,000, fully covered by insurance.
Nearly all Of the principal lines of the
city are tied up, and as the fire broke
out shortly after 6 o'clock, thousands
were compelled to walk to their homes
The fire was the direct result of the
blowing out of the light dynamos in
the power-house. Sparks flew in every
direction, and in an instant the place
was in flames. The house was three
and a half story brick structure.
The steam pipes extending from over
a dozen big boilers in aother part of
the building. but separated from the
dynamos, broke with roar that sound
ed like an explosion. This frightened
the horses attached to a chemical en-
gine and caused them to run away, re-
sulting in the death of Winder and the
injury of several others.
The building was valued at about
S100000 and the electrical machinery
consisted principally of four big dyna-
mos valued at about $50, 600 each; four
smaller ones $500 each; switch board
$4,000; testing machinery $4,000, and
a fifteen ton travelling crane $4,000.
When the car lines affected will be
able to start again can only be con-
jectured. President Walsh says all
will be running by tomorrow morning,
but that the service will not be as COM
llete as it was before the fire.

JAPANS GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M
PERIAL DIET.
TO INFORM AMERICANS now TO
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago, the Japanese
commission, composed of Mr.. S. Nit
suhashi, president of Shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly, and Mr.. j. Ohara, mem
Der of Japanese parliament, to investi-
gate the condition of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada,
and to cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mr.. r. Mizutany, the American
representatives of the Japanese Tea
Guild, in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the method or
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr. Mizutany are
planning to open tea baZars in many of
the principal cities in the United
States and Canada. where ladies can
enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made
by experts, and at the same time re-
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make it equally well at home.
More than half the tea consumed in
the United States and Canada is OF
Japanese growth, yet, the majority of
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which it
contains. 1t is believed by these gen.
tlemen that when Americans are in
possession OF the secret of making good
tea, the consumption in this country
will fully equal that of Europe in pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American
ladies will be apt students. The main
bureau of the Japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for making jap
anese tea, the translation of which is
as follows:
First-Use a small dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in one teaspoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-When using Japanese teas,
pour on the required quantity of fresh
boiled water, and let stand with closed
lid from 2 to 3 minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor, Japanese tea leaves should
be kept in tight can on jar, free from
moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural, delicate, and sweet flavor of jap
anese teas, neither sugar nor cream
should be used.
