Eui Was toe Badly Injured to Bring Off the
Fight With 0'DonneI|.
Tom Tracy Of Australia Knocks
Out Frank Mcconnell of Oak
land in the Seventeenth Round
The Fight, Prior to It's Sudden
Termination, Much in Favor Of
the Californian.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Jim Jeffries,
the much hearalded heavyweight pu-
giiist from California, was to have
fought Bob Armstrong and Steve
O'Donnell for ten rounds each before
the Lenox Athletic Club tonight, but
he was only able to carry out half of
his proposition. He met Armstrong and
defeated him, but in doing so he shat
tered his left arm and was unable to
meet O'Donnell. This was an unfortu-
nate thing, both for Jeffries and the
club, as the former felt perfectly conf
dent of defeating both men, and the
managers of the club were sorry to be
compelled to disappoint their patrons.
Many shrewd judges of boxers are
satisfied that Jeffries is a promising
and coming pugilst, and they hope
that the injury to his arm will not be
serious.
Armstrong went at it rather carefully
at first There was considerable spar
ring and some blows were exchanged
Armstrong received some hard jabs.
By the beginning of the sixth round
Bob was aware that he was up against
stiff game, and went at it according
ly. The result was that in the ninth
round Bob was weakening, but came up
SallIc. lie JdDDSu his lett Oll the ldce,
and Jeffries hooked his right on the
ribs. Jim then uppercut him with the
left on the face, and jabbed the same
glove to the face twice. Jeffries con-
tinued this line of attack all through the
round, and Bob did not land blow.
Round 10-They shook hands at the
referees bidding, and Jeffries hooked
his right on the ribs. They exchanged
lefts on the face, and after great deal
of footwork Jeffries put Bob on his
back with a left swing on the head.
Bob took eight seconds to rest, and
when he came up Jeffries hooked right
and left on the jaw. These blows daZed
Bob, and Jeffries kept pounding him,
and Armstrong ran TO the ropes with
out making an attempt to strike back.
1t was all one-sided now, and although
Bob stayed the limit he did SO by run

DOWN FROM ST. MICHAEL.
The Dirigo Arrives With About
$500. 600 in Gold.

SEATTLE CWash), Aug. ). The
steam schooner Dirigo arrived from ST.
Michael, Alaska, this morning with
ninety-seven passengers and a small
amount of gold dust Twenty-seven of
the passengers We're from Dawson
Most of them went in overland this
spring. They did not stop at Daw-
son, but went right down on the river
TO st. Michael, where they took passage
on the Dirigo. The remaining passen-
gers We're laboring men from Unalaska
and ST. Michael
The Klondikers having gold dust were
Charles Moore and j. NJ. Brown of On
tario, Canada, who had about $4,000
between them, and H. Mi Ter, with about
the same amount. E. w. Spencer of
Portland, Oregon, had about $40 GEO
made in steamboating on the Upper
Yukon
1t is estimated that the total amount
of gold on the Dirigo was 5000, 900
j. II. Brown said people are fiocking
out of Dawson as fast they know how.
He said: Il believe there will be much
suffering at St. Michael unless the
Government sends relief to the penni-
less hungry people drifting in there
Alaska is a good country and there is
plenty of gold, but majority of the
tenderfeet who rushed in do not know
how to handle ii properly"
The Dirigo left st. Michael July ODD
There was but little change in condi-
ditions at st. Michael All the stranded
steamers except the National City and
Progesso are gradually working out Of
their troubles, and hope to get away
soon. 1t was expected that the Ma
tional City would soon return to San
Francisco with her passengers. The
army officials are allowing passengers
from the steamers who have no river
connections to land if they have 1000
pounds of provisions. and are willing to
take chances on getting up the river.
Under this ruling the Progresso has
landed about seventy-five passengers

Up the Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. GA num-
Der of vessels arriving from Oregon and
Puget Sound ports during the last three
months have reported sighting dan
gerous derelict in the path of naviga-

ocean.
To-day Captain Turner of the Iro-

Mare Island, procure supply Of ex-

derelict that is a menace to navigation.
He is either to tow it into port or blow

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Tom
Tracy of Australia and Frank Neon

Olympic Athletic Club of this city. in
the presence of about 5000 spectators.
Tracy landed a lightning right hand
swing on the point of the jaw in the
seventeenth round, which fairly lifted
Mcconnell off his feet, and failing to
arise within the prescribed ten sec
onds the Australian was awarded the
decision. The blow was a Glen knock
out delivery.
Mcconnell was a 10 to 6 favorite.
The fight, prior to its rather sudden
termination. was much in favor of the
local lad. During the first ten rounds
of fighting Mcconnell was at all times
the aggressor and though his blows as
a rule lacked precision, sufficient

Upon Disruption of the Empire.
London, March 1-Sir Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett, in the House of Commons to-
day, having brought up the Chinese ques-
ton and the advance of Russia, Mr..
Curzon, after some debate, said that
British interests in China were para
mount but not exclusive" The British
nation, he continued, would not be justi-
fed IN regarding legitimate competitors
with jealousy, but ought rather 10 use
all efforts to keep in an age of compete
ton what was won in an age of monOp-
oily"
Great Britain's policy was to prevent
the disruption and to oppose the aliena-
tion of Chinese territory, and it was not
likely that Great Britain would regard
with satisfaction the attempts of others
in the direction of such disruption and
alienation.
Great Britain, he declared, had taken
her stand upon the treaty of Ten-Tsin,
which empowered her to oppose the inn
position of special tariffs by other pow
ers at hinese ports; and no British gov
ernment would ever consent to an aban~
donment or curtailment of treaty rights.
The ma,Ier was then dropped and the
House adjourned.
