NO PAPERS AT CHICAGO.
Cease Publication for a Few Days
on Account Of a Strike.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The following
bulletin was posted at every newspaper
office this evening at 10 o'clock:
AT s o'clock this (Friday) evening
the Stereotypers' Union notified the
newspaper publishers of Chicago that
unless their demands for an increase of
wages from S3.25 to 81 a day, a reduc-
ton of the working day from eight to
seven hours. with payment at the rate
of 20 cents per hour for all overtime and
other concessions, We're at once acced-
ed to, they would refuse to work. In
consequence of this action, the --
in common with all other Chicago pa
pers, viii not appear Saturday"
This action of the newspapers was in
pursuance of an understanding recently
entered into, including, among other
provisions, the following agreement:
In event of a strike in any of the
department of one or more os the Chi
cago daily newspaper offices, the me-
chanical resources of all our offices shall
be pooled to the extent and with the
purpose that no newspaper shall be
published until all the newspapers can
be promptly published on The same
day.
The stereotypers have been averag-
ing from $500 to SD per week on
SIX day evening papers, and from S24
to $2I on the seven day morning pa
pers. IT IS anticipated that the influx
of stereotypers from all parts of the
country Will be so immediate and SO
great that the interruption of publica-
ton will continue but few days.
The Chicago publishers tonight is
sued the following card to newspaper
proprietors in neighboring cities:
The publishers of Chicago would
appreciate it If the newspapers in con-
dguous territory would not try to SUP
ply Chicago with their papers No ef-
fort will be made here for two days.
and In the meantime it is the opinion
that the cause Of all newspapers would
be best served by this plan Other
cities may have a similar experience
very shortly, and Chicago papers would
undoubtedly reciprocate"

JoRDoN THE VICTOR.
Gets the Decision In His Fight
With Dixon.

NEW YORK, July ben Jordan of
England, after fighting twenty five
hard rounds with George Dixon, the
colored champion, was awarded the
honors by Referee Charley White to-
night at the Lenox Athletic Club. Both
men fought we'll, and there was little to
choose between them. If anything,
Dixon seemed to have somewhat the
better of the entire bout, and was de-
cidedly stronger and more effective
than when he met Eddie Santry of Chi
cago few weeks ago in the same ring
Jordan had shade the better of his
opponent in regard to hight and reach,
and it was said that he weighed 126
pounds, while Dixon turned the scales
at 11l1y pounds. Dixon did the leading
but, unlike many of those who had
previously met the little colored fighter,
Jordan went to him and mixed it all
the time. Jordan used his elbows sew
eral times at close quarters, but the
referee contented himself in cautioning
the Britisher. Once or twice Jordan
hit Dixon rather low on the body, but
Dioxn made no protest. Many of those
who watched the work of both thought
a draw would have been - very salts
factory decision.
The first six rounds were full of gin
ger, both men landing frequently but
doing little damage. In the seventh
Dixon swung his left on the face and
right to the head, sending Jordan down
on his hands and knees to the floor
Dixon walked away to give Jordan a
chance to get up, amid Wild applause.
In the ninth Jordan drew blood from
the colored boys nose.
During a rush in the tenth Dixon
slipped to the floor on his knees and
Jordan held him down with his elbows
on his neck. When Dixon came up it
was seen that Jordan had reopened an
old cut over Dixon's left eye.
In the succeeding rounds the fighting
was fast, and neither man scored any
decided advantage until the twenty
second round, when Jordan sent a
straight right over the kidneys that
made Dixon Vince, and a moment later
Jordan landed a staggering blow over
Dixon's heart.
In the twenty-third Dixon landed a
singing left that drew blood from Jor-
dams nose.
In the twenty-fourth Dixon rushed,
but the exchanges We're about even
In the final round Dixon repeatedly
swung lefts on the ribs and hooks to
the head, and Jordan responded regu-
larly with left jabs inthe face Dixon
seemed to have the better of the round
at the finish
The referees decision in favor of Jor-
dan was greeted with cheers for Jor-
dan and counter cheers for Dixon.
Dixon and Jordan shook hands in a
friendly manner.

MADEIRA robbery is to elect to office men
who will give their individual time and
attention to the duties of their office,
instead of originating and manipulate
ing mining and other schemes and bur-
dening the county with deputies to do
their work, making the office a mere
sinecure. Any offices conducted by a
competent man and as contemplated
by law need not be open at night. Such
risks are not necessary, but if they
should be necessary at any time proper
precautions should be taken to guard
the books and the treasure of the peo-
pie.
A FIRE EDUCATION.
San Diego Union: Some Eastern
papers are advocating instruction in
the public schools on the subject of the
use of fire and care of combustibles and
explosives. such as matches, kerosene,
gasoline, gunpowder, dynamite, various
oils, steam, etc, and how to light
lamps and fires and take care of them.
The suggestion is worth consideration.
Statistics show that losses by fire in
the United States range from 500 900, :,
coo, to S15OOOO,OOO annually, and it
is admitted that very large percent
age of this fire loss is due to careless
ness, and might be avoided Who shall
say that training in the schools such
as is now suggested might not cut down
the losses by fire very materially in
the future?
DON'T FEAR.
Tulare Register: Every few days the
papers contain scares about the inter
ference of some foreign Power in the
affair between the United States and
Spain, but we are not inclined to bor-
row trouble on that score. No foreign
Power could gain as much by war as
it would lose by it and then If one Eu
ropean Power were to dip in it is alto
gether likely that others would become
involved and so the danger to us is
not great, but we do not need to wave
red flags in the faces of the nations for
all that. A wholesome fear of the Eng
lish navy has been a strong restrain
ing factor, fact that we should not
forget.
CALIFORNIAN OPPORTUNITY.
Fresno Republican: To those who
are inclined to look imaginatively into
the future, the present time appears as
one of the turning points of history,
and as the, beginning of an era in which
California is destined to play most
important part. Ancient history CEN
tered about the Mediterranean, modern
history has bordered the Atlantic, but
the movement to the Pacific has al
ready begun. The movement is only
the last step in the oldest and most
important movement in history. The
history of the world is the history of q
single family--the Aryan-and what
that family has done is, essentially to
go west. Countless other families and
races have lived and still live, but with
the single exception Of the Semitic
races, now blended as a historic force
with the Aryan, their existence has
been without efreet on the forward
movement OF humanity.

State and National political affairs. But
casting its editorial utterances aside, the
Dispatch is real newspaper, having its
own exclusive wires 10 all of the leading
capitals Of the world, and an able corps
Of news gatherers who present the news
OF the world usually in advance Of its To-
cal contemporaries. Another feature Of
the Dispatch, much admired by all Of its
regular readers, is the way in which it
clsssifies its news, market reports, &c,
so that the reader knows exactly where
70 look for what he is see king. For years
past the Dispatch has paid special atten-
ton 10 securing the developement Of
Pittsburg and the contiguous territory,
and no Pittsburg paper has done as much
in this direction.
