cuoyNsKI-JEFFRIEs FIGHT A DRAW
This Praise of the Bruisers is Daubcd
Pretty Thick.

San Francisco. Dec. When all is
said and done concerning last nights
fight in this city. Choynski fought
against odds, and fought well. After
this few will dispute Jeffries' claims to
be considered as a possibility for the
worlds championship. He Is a clever
boxer, and while little more than
novice. he fairly puzzled man who,
while young in years. is veteran at
tisticuffs.
II any mistake was made In Choyn-
skis corner 1t was on the not allow
ing Joe to go at his big viz-a-viz from
the start. Jeffrles was decidedly;
ratified when he entered the ring. and
1t was not until several rounds had
elapsed that he regained his natural
color and began to shape with conf
dence Possibly the idea of going
against such celebrity as Joe Choyn-
ski had this disturbing effect. Once
Jeffries did extend himself. but there
We're no signs of white feather about
him.
Choynski covered himself with glory
and has never shown up to such ad-
vantage. He Is as clever and as quick
as ever, and last night he fought the
first calculating battle he has ever
been mixed up in. Contrary to his
general tactics he was not reckless for
IL minute. and everw round showed that
lie was feeling his mans powers like
past master. A noticeable change
In his work Is the difference in his
guard and attack. He fought Jeffries
with his body well open and faced him
almost squarely in, the Australian
style. Since he met Billy Woods In
this city in 1891 and knocked him out,
Choynski has not fought so long or so
well as he did last night. The fact
that he was not the aggressor was
probably considered by Macdonald
when he rendered his decision. but
ought not to have counted
against him for the reason
that with fifty pound dis
advantage in weight II was the best
kind OF generalship to keep away from
the rushes and to duck. Choynsh's
ducking was superb and his splendid
work in this direction eliminated and
brought down the house. He iiddled
Jeffries to force him into his own
corner and the big fellow, believing
that he had his opponent at close
quarters. damned him against the
cable in u give-andtake struggle.
ChoynslSi caught the big fellow four
snashing lefts in the jaw. ducking a
side of the head-the only time that
the Los Angeles boy against the ropes,
and then flew in with his right on the
fight. Several other times he wriggled
he used 1t effectively In the whole
nht. Several other times he wriggled
out of a hole by his clever work, and
during the last few rounds particu-
larry he stopped several mean blows
by throwing his body across Jenries'
arm.

What Tariff is Doing.


Increasing the cost of all i'm
ported articles and giving an object
lesson in Republican legislation.
What are the Republicans get
ting out of the tariff legislation?
Smiles of satisfaction from the
trusts and a revolution in public
sentiment which will surely result
in the downfall of the party of plu-
tocracy and broken promises.
Between the two stools-protec-
ton and gold monopoly-the Re
publicans are fast falling to the
ground. The people recognize the
fact that they are being duped ;
that protective tariff is tax and
gold monopoly is simply confisca-
ton. 1t will not be possible for the
people to forget to whom they owe
falling prices on domestic products,
rising prices on necessary imported
articles and increasing difficulty in
paying debts, owing to an appreci-
ated currency. The masses now
know that the only remedy is tc
cast down the party of trusts and
monopolies aDd to put the party O
the people in power. They will be
gin it in 1898, and complete it tri
umphantly by a sweeping Demo
cratic victory in 1900. S.

Facts About Alaska.

Alaska is two and one-half times
as large as Texas, eight times as
large as all Of New England. as
large as all Of the states east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
Its coast line is 10000 miles. Ii
has the only forest covered glazier
in the world. 1t has the largest
river in the world. A man stand
ing on a bank of the Yukon 15C
miles from its mouth can not sec
the other bank. 1t is 20 miles wide
700 miles from its mouth and is
Manageable $500 miles. 1t dis
charges one-third more water than
the Mississippi river. No snakes
in Alaska but nowhere are big mos
quitoes so numerous. Moose are
plentiful and the flesh resembles
horse meat. No land contains finer
spruce timber. In central and
northern Alaska the ground is
frozen to a depth of 200 feet. A
temperature of rs degrees below
zero has been recorded; when it
gets lower than so deg. there is no
wind. In the dark season twilight
lasts six hours and almost any
kind of work can be done. Elk,
cariboo, and grouse are common
and easily lied. In summer un-
der foot is ice-cake, overhead %
hours sunshine Hay grows as
high as a mans head and hardy
vegetables can be raised. 1t is 20O0
miles from Sitka to Klondyke..
Some streams are bridged by gla-
ciers. Ayalanches in the interior
are unknown. Owing to dryness
there is not much suffering from
the cold.
