Walcott and Tracey Pre-
vented From Meeting
at Chicago.
Superior Judge BrentanO Is
sues Restraining
Order.
Result OF Legal Contest Between
Montgomery Ward and
the City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-The fight be-
tween Tommy Tracey and Joe WalcOtt,
scheduled for this evening, did not
come off as advertised. Efforts are now
being made to have it pulled off on
Thursday evening, but it is not certain
that they will be successful Judge
Brentano of the Superior Court issued
an order to-day restraining the fighters
from engaging in any contest in the
hall that had been secured for the
event, and declaring that if any effort
was made to have the fight he would
instruct the Sheriff to raid the place.
The order was the result of a fight
that has been in progress for years be-
tween the city and Montgomery Ward,
a merchant whose place of business is
on Michigan avenue, opposite Battery
D, in which 1t was proposed to have the
fight. Some time ago Ward obtained
from the Supreme Court of the State
an order requiring the city to tear
down the building in which the fight
was to have been held. and which has
been the scene of fights innumerable
The city has promised to tear down the
building, but has failed to keep its
promise, and when he found that it
was about to issue license for a fight
in the old hall Ward applied to the
court to stop 1t.
There will now be some difficulty in
engaging a hall for the fight, as a num-
ber of those that would ordinarily be
available have been rented for the win
ter and cannot be secured.

THE NAVAL MEN
LOOK FOR A WAR
At ANY MOMENT
They Believe That Japan win Defy Russia
If the Miku0o Has the Backing
of Great Britain.

VALLEJO, Dec. 21.-The movements
OF the European powers in the far
East are watched with the greatest
interest by the officers stationed at the
navy-yard, and it is the general
opinion among them that an outbreak
or hostilities is inevitable at no dis
tant date. Russia's occupation Of Port
Arthur is regarded as a menace to Ia
pan that the latter country will not
submit to quietly, and as Russia is
not in the habit of .surrenderine anv-
territory she once gains possession of
the prospect of a rupture between the
two countries, particularly If England
is secretly backing Japan, is excellent
In view of the critical condition of
affairs, prominent officers here believe
the washington Government will find
Ii absolutely necessary to strengthen
its fleet in those waters, and within a
few weeks they look for orders dis
patching several of the best shiDs In
the navy to Chinese waters. While
none OF the officers place any credence
whatever in the statements that Ger
many intends to make a move in the
direction OF Samoa and the Hawaiian
Islands, they think there is an excel
lent prospect that more ships will he
sent to the Pacific station as well as
to the Asiatic, and they also believe
the threatened outbreak in the East
Will have a tendency to induce Con-
gress to make liberal provision for
new ships at this session Battle shins
and torpedo boats and destroyers thav
say, are what are needed above all
others.

JOHNNIE'S GOT HIS GUN.

France. The commission has just re-
turned and has made private report
to President Faure
Our Consul at Lyons says: France
counts largely upon her Indo- China
empire as nucleus around which to
build up her trade in China, and cal
culates to receive the cooperation of
Russia in many ways. 1t is contem-
plated to open the way for a more ex-
tended commerce by beginning with
bazaars to be conducted by French
men, with Chinese in subordinate posi-
tions wherever it is found possible to
employ them. 1t is announced that
Franco Russian bazaars will be also
opened in st. Petersburg and Moscow
during the coming winter"
One of the French commissioners has
made since his return to France the
following peculiar statement: I'VE will
succeed on two conditions, to-wit: We
must export men to China at the same
time we export goods, and be as far
sighted and as patient as the import
ance OF such work requires, bearing in
mind that it must move slowly in its
accomplishment In the extreme
Orient"

Bgroe Wins on a Foul.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The fight ar
ranged between Dick O'Brien and Dick
Burge for a purse of $3.50 to 5000
stakes, came off this evening at the
Olympic Club, Birmingham. Burge
scaled in at 146 pounds and O'Brien at
160. During the afternoon there were
disquieting rumors as to OBrien's s
condition and long odds were freely
laid on Burge.
When the men entered the ring it was
seen that O'Brien was very fat, while
Burge was remarkably fit. At the end
of the first round O'Brien was blowing
hard, and he did not improve in the
second. During the fourth round,
when Burge slipped in O'Brien's corner,
the latter struck him lightly. foul
was claimed and allowed, thus ending
a poor contest.

OF CHINA
Continued from First Page.

Toxic says there is no excitement over
the news from Port Arthur. The press
is calm and the public is indignant. It
is rumored, the dispatch alleges, that
a large Russian military force is COM
ing from Siberia.
A special dispatch from Brest says
the French cruiser Jean Bart has been
ordered to proceed to China. She Is
rated as a second-class cruiser. She
mounts six 5-inch guns, fourteen 2.5-
inch guns, and has nine guns of small
er caliber. Her crew numbers 1872
men.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Japa-
nese legation has been informed that
weeks. The cruiser at the Cramps
having built in this country are so well
along toward completion that they will
both be launched within the next few
weeks. The cruisers at the Cramps
ship yard at Philadelphia has been
christened Kasagi Kan and the
launching has been set for January
20. Minister Hoshi and the staff Of
the legation will attend the launching
and a number Of guests will be invited
to participate in the ceremony.
The cruiser at the Union Iron Works
at San Francisco has been named the
Chitos The launching will occur some
time in February. but the exact date
has not been set. The cruisers are
alike in all respects, having a tonnage
of about 5000 each and the contracts
call for a speed of % knots an hour.

RearAdmiraI McNair states that
Japan dispatched a cruiser to KiGo-
Chu Bay for the purpose of watching
the operations of Germany Nothing
has been received at the department
from RearAdmiral McNair in regard
to the reported occupation of Port
Arthur by a Russian fleet, and the Of
ficials will not give the report credence
until confirmation is at hand. Like the
Chinese Minister, they believe that the
occupation of Port Arthur by the Rus
sian ships is simply in the nature of a
convenience granted by the Chinese
Government, like that given them at
Kia-Chou Bay last winter. and when
spring comes the squadron will
leave Port Arthur and resume its man
euvers.
Admiral McNair will be sue
ceeded as chief of the
Asiatic squadron in few days by
Commodore George Dewey. who left
San Francisco on December for Yoko-
hama, where he will hoist his flag. So
far as l have been able to learn, no in
structions have gone to Rear-Admiral
McNair or to Commodore Dewey, ex-
cept to carefully protect Americans
and their interests, as there is no desire
on the part of this Government to
seize any territory in China.
Senator Gray said: Il have watched
with deep interest the apparent efforts
of the European powers to parcel out
China among themselves. While we
will pot and cannot take a hand in any
such game Of grab, it seems to me that
we are vitality interested, and that we
should take as active steps as possible
short of war, to prevent the consum-
nation of the plans of the various war
lords. If any combinations of Euro
pean powers are to be permitted to ap-
prOpriate to themselves a country in
which we have so great interests as we
have in China, it will, 1 fear, be dan
gerouS to US"
Senator Davis was not disposed to
discuss freely the question of the parti-
tion of China by England, Germany,
France and Russia, and Japan's prob
able attitude.
Senator Teller said: 'It cannot be
doubted that certain European coun-
tries intend, If they can possibly find
excuse for so doing, to dismember
China and divide up that great terri
tory among them. l do not believe that
such a high-handed outrage should be
permitted, and if II is attempted l
think that other self-respecting nations
not engaged in the division of the
spoils should enter very vigorous pro-
tests"

Defeats All Opposition in
the Election at
Boston.
Republican Candidate Beaten
by About Four Thou
sand Votes.
All Attempts to Split the Democratic
Party Turned Out to Be
Flat Failures.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, Dec. 21.-Mayor Josiah M.
Quincy CD was reelected to-day by
a decreased plurality over ex-Mayor
Curtis, his opponent of two years ago,
although the city went Republican at
the State election last month The at
tempt to split the Democratic vote in
the city by vigorous work on the part
OF Thomas Riley, running as a silver
Democrat, proved futile. His rallies
were crowded and his audiences ap-
parently intensely loyal, but less than
5000 voters supported him at the polls.
the Democrats remaining loyal to
Quincy
Notwithstanding the strong effort
which was made by the Republicans
to get out heavy vote in the sub
urban and back bay wards, which
usually poll heavy Republican ma
jorities, Mayor Quincy made great
gains over the vote for Williams at
the State election, while in some cases
there was a decided falling off in the
vote of the opposition.
On the other hand, the USUALLY
strong Democratic wards, where the
registration for this election has been
very heavy, did not show any special
gain for the Democratic candidate
and in some cases there was a de-
crease. The surprise Of the election
was the small vote for Riley. Even in
the wards where he made his greatest
effort and where he was backed by
young politicians who claimed toshave
strong following only a few were
found in his support at the polls, while
in his own precinct he received but
two votes.
The total vote was little more than
that of two years ago, when the regis
tration was 81, ,4S6, against 102. .4SO for
the present election. The total vote
for Mayor, with one precinct missing.
is as follows: Quincy d. 39707, Curtis
K. 35,741, Riley bryant d. 2SS5, Gold
stein S. 775.
On the balance of the ticket the result
is far from being known, so meager
and so fluctuating are the returns. 1t
is predicted, however, on the figures
that the Aldermanic Board will be
seven Democrats and five Republi-
cans. just the reverse of this year.
For the lower board a Democratic
majority. as usual, is almost a GER
tainty. For School Directors the re-
suit is in doubt, with the figures indi-
eating that Professor Sedgwick aud
Mrs. KehOe, who ran independently,
are defeated. The city voted for Ii
cense by an increased majority.

Under date of November 10 Rear Ad-
miral McNair states that the follow
ing official information has been re-
ceived concerning the occupation by
German forces of Kia Chou Bay:
"A German squadron, consisting of
three men-of-war, arrived at the Kia
Chou Bay on the 18th inst. The com
mander of the squadron landed on the
following day with 600 blue Jackets
and ordered General Chang, comman-
der of the Chinese garrison, to retire
beyond the hills within twenty-four
hours, commencing from o'clock on
that day (the 14th), further informing
General Chang that the Chinese SOL
diers would not be permitted to take
away anything save their rifles and
personal effects. The German COM
mander Furthermore declared that in
the event of the Chinese garrison ig-
noring this order it would be regarded
upon. Thereupon General Chang with
as hostile. and be Immediately fired
his force evacuated the forts and re-
tired to the lower part Of Seito."

VICTORIA, Dec. 21.-Government Of
f1cials here have not given up hope for
the steamer Cleveland boat still miss
ing, and instructions were to-day sent
to the captain of the Quadra not to re-
turn at once to Victoria as was in
tended, but to cruise along the west
coast so long as the faintest possibility
remained that the men were ashore
and alive on some of the islands or on
some remote spot whence they could
not communicate with civilization.
This message was carried by the tug
Car, chartered by the owner of the
Cleveland, to take him and Lloyd's S
surveyor, who had come from San
Francisco, to the wreck
The customs authorities having def
1nitely refused to permit the American
wrecking craft Whitelaw to be en-
ployed, Mr.. Tyson took one of the
Whitelaw's pumps on the Car and
this, with pump belonging to the
tug, 1t is thought, may be sufficient to
get the Cleveland afloat. The pump
from the Whitelaw had to be regular
ly entered and duty paid upon it.
The Quadra is likely to be kept in
commission all winter for use in Just
such emergencies as the present, as in
previous years wrecks have occurred
often on the west coast when the gov
ernment vessel was laid up for the win
ter, and no steamer was available to
send to their assistance.
1t now transpires that the govern
ment telephone line to Alberni was not
down when Purser Whitbeck arrived
there, but new operator at transfer
point had left his key open, this man
having been appointed because Of his
politics rather than his proficiency.

Gutenberg May Not Be Sold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-There is a
possibility that the Guttenburg race
track may not be sold after all, and
that the famous track may be re-
opened and racing resumed. When
the anti-gambling amendment was
passed recently, the directors of the
Hudson County Jockey Club had about
decided to dispose of the property, but
at a meeting held to-day it was agreed
that the matter should be held in abey-
ance until the question of constitution
ality had been finally decided. 1t was
intended to cut the property into build
ing lots, it being considered that such
plan would be a good investment. Now,
however. the plan has been laid over
for the present.
