THE STATE BOARD OF TRADE
Meets and Discusses the Annual Re-
ports of Officers
A Vast Army of Christian Endeavorers Com
ing to Csiifornin-Peyiew of Fruit
shipments-Of Officers Elected

SAN FRANCISCO. March o. Re-
ports of President W. P. Chapman and
Secretary Filcher and attendant dis
oussion thereupon formed the princi-
pal part of the business at the annual
meeting of the state board of trade held
today.
w. II. Mills stated that the Southern
Pacific company's transportation de-
partment had been notified by its east
ern connections TO prepare accommoda-
tions for 10000 passengers to the Chris
tian Endeavor convention. In order
that this number might be provided
with literature regarding California it
was decided to prepare a book describ-
ing the state by sections This will be
done by different members of the state
board of trade. each taking the particu-
lar branch with which he is most fa-
miliar. a copy will be placed in the
| hands of each eXcursionist either at
Ogden or Ell Paso.
The report of Gen. Chipman was an
exhaustive statistical review of the
fruit industry of the state, based on
shipments by carloads during the past
seven years.
Comparing 1896 with 1894" says the
report, there was net loss of 2, 247 car
loads The gain in 1895 over tho output
for 1894 was chiefly In citrus fruits. The
loss in 1896 over the output of 1895 seems
quite large. OF the 44Zl carloads rep
resenting the loss, 1866 were citrus
fruits, SCI green deciduous and 1895 cars
raisins.
Another noticeable feature is that we
exported or sent out C the state in 1893
nearly 1000 carloads of vegetables, while
in 1896 the exports had fallen to 1917
carloads"
Gen. n. p. Chapman was elected presi-
dent; j. S. Emery, first president;
J. A Filcher secretary and general
manager, and the Crocker Woolworth
National bank treasurer. The new
board has decided to push the work Of
arranging an exhibit at Hamburg.

TELEGRAPH LAW
Union Pacific Lines Now Open to All com-
petitors

petitcrs
OMAHA, Neb., March 9.-Before Judge
Munger in the United States district
court today a motion was made to
amend the decree of Judge Brewer in
the case of the United States against
the Union Pacific Telegraph company.
This was the suit to divorce the Union
Pacific Telegraph company from the
Western Union. 1t was originally de-
cided by Judge Brewer in the United
States circuit court in 1891. At that
time the decision was for the abrogation
of the contract under which the West
ern Union operated the Union Pacific
telegraph. From this decision both the
telegraph companies appealed. In the
appellate court Judge Brewers decision
was reversed. The United States car
rled the case to the supreme court and
there the decision of Judge Brewer was
sustained in the main. The mandate
of the supreme court modified in slight
degree the original decree of separa
tion and was sent back to the Nebraska
court for enforcement. The motion
made today was for the modification of
the Brewer decree in conformity with
the mandate of the supreme court
General Counsel Kelly of the Union
Pacific was not present in court and
Judge Munger set Monday, March 18th.
as the date for the hearing of the mo-
ton. The decree in effect opens the lines
of the Union Pacific Telegraph company
to all competitors from Omaha west.

LONDON, March 9.-Sammy Kelly,
the 115-pound champion of America,
beat Billy Pllmmer in the 200-round
bout decided this evening in the Olym
pic Athletic club at Birmingham. They
met at 115 pounds, weighing in at 3
D. M, and fought for $1,000 side and
purse of $3,500. PIimmer did all the
work for nineteen rounds, Kelly dis
posing of him by a series of lucky
maneuvers in the twentieth Although
Plimmer had not been fighting of late,
he was heavily backed by the British,
and entered the ring a decided favorite
in the betting. Kelly was confident that
he would force the Britisher to haul
down his colors Kelly's seconds were
Paddy Moore, Larry Burnes and Billy
Tucker of Newark. Dick Burge was
the chief adviser of Plimmer.
Both combatants were in splendid
condition and came up quickly after each
round in turn taking the aggressive.
IN the tenth it appeared to be anybody's
fight and Kelly made particularly good
play with double handlers. In the thir-
teenth Plimmer showed his irritation at
his opponents two-handed blows, which
had considerable effect, the lighting con-
tinuing at express rate, Plimmer scored
much more rapidly during the twen-
tieth round and the American showed
extra quickness. Plimmer. in trying to
reach Kellys body. received a heavy
blow in the mouth and soon gave signs
of weakening. Kelly followed it up by
flooring Plimmer, who fell face down
and only rose in time to avoid being
counted out.
Kelly then made a determined rush
which gave Plimmer no chance to re-
cover and the latter, very weak and un-
able to resist blow on the jaw, second
time fell. He did not rise in time and
suffered defeat after a terrible fight, COM
