JACK DAILY SHOWS
 THE WHITE FEATHER
THE WELTER WEIGHT WILL
 NOT FIGHT M'KEEvER.
Mcconnell Has Taken Daly's Pace and Now the National Club
 Feels Happy.

For some reason best known to himself Sam Fitzpatrick, manager for Pugflist Jack Daly, has refused the offer made by the National Club for contest of twenty rounds between Daily and Mo Keever.
 It is thought by many of the promoters of fistic sport here that one of the local athletic clubs has been corresponding with Fitzpatrick with the view of giving the National Club black eye Doubtless the tr1cksters have succeeded as F1tzpat- rick has taken very sudden change of mind concerning the proposed meeting between the crack welter-weights, and may not journey to this coast at all. However, the National Club Is not de- pendent upon Fitzpatrick nor his fighting machine, Jack Daily, and yesterday it consummated a twenty-round bout be- tween McKeever and Mcconnell, who is a protege of Alexander Greggains
 Mcconnell, although light puncher. Is an exceedingly clever fellow, and there are not a few of the sports who believe that the San Franciscan is competent to best McKeever in twenty rounds It Is certain that the Eastern welter-weight will have to use all of his cunning and hitting powers to win a. decision over the local lad.
 Tom Sharkey, Spider" Kelly and Tim McGrath have departed for New York. Tom will sign articles upon his arrival to fight Gus Ruhlin before the Greater New York Athletic Club for $7000 purse
 Jimmy Lawlor and Jimmy Riley will start for the East in a few days unless the National Club will match Lawlor to fight Maxwell on the evening of the Me keever-McConnell contest.

TROUBLE MADE BY
 THE SHIPS CAT.
CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THH
 SEA KING AT. OUTS.
Almost 8 Mutiny Aboard the Bark Because Both Parties Wanted :.
 Possession of Pussy.

There was nearly a mutiny on the American bark Sea King over cat yes- terday. When the vessel was in New castle, N. s. w, pussy came aboard and at once became friendly with the sailors. The captains child laid claim to the feline, but strange to say the animal pre- ferred the forecastle to the cabin. When the ship reached this port and came to an anchor yesterday, the. men sought to come ashore and bring the cat with them. The captain and his wife and child objected most strenuously, but with out avail, as the sailors would not give up the pet. Finally Captain Wallace said that not man should leave the vessel unless the cat was left on board. That brought the men to time, and pussy was turned over to Mrs. Wallace The sail ors assert, however, that as soon as the Sea King docks, or perhaps before that
 the cat will be missing.

CLEARING UP TITLES.
Official Investigations of Surveys in
 the Interests of Settlers.

Surveyor General Gleaves of the local land office has just returned from an ex- tended trip in the southern part. of the States, where he went nearly two weeks ago to investigate. a number of surveys. that have caused some little trouble in the land office at Washington. These lands are in Pine Canyon near Mojave, the San Gabriel. Forest Reservation in the Mount Lowe district, at Calabasas and near Jo- hannisberg.
 This trip was made necessary because of number of reports of II. l.. Collier, formerly United States Examiner of the Land Office. Collier got himself very ment and he was given an indefinite leave of absence from his duties which was al most an equivalent to a dismissal. In or der to get back into the department he promised to expose a number of frauds in the matter of surveys in this State.
 Upon being restored to his former posi- tion he made good his word so far the sensational features were concerned, for his reports alleged the exposure of many irregularities in the work of surveyors and deputies in many parts of the State where there is and was government lands. E. This naturally had the effect of stopping all issuance of patents by the Federal Government to the lands In question and many honest settlers were made to suffer by having their locations under a cloud. When Senator Gleayes came into office re- gently he made some inquiry that led him to the belief that the reports made by Collier were not correct and that the surveys had been properly and correctly made. In order to make no mistake he went over the ground in person accom- panied by several of the best surveyors in the State and the deputies whose work had been questioned.
 Upon his return yesterday MT. Gleaves stated that he had found all of the sur veys correct and the work performed in a very satisfactory manner. This practi- cally stamps the reports os Collier as false and it relieves many settler of much anxiety. for upon the statement of the officer that the surveys are all right there is but little doubt that the gov

instructions to examine no more men for enlistment until further orders. This comes as great hardship to the boys of the reserve, as each of them lost two days work in order to attend at the naval rendezvous for examina- ton. It is no wonder, therefore, that they feel sore over the way in which they are being treated.
 Lieutenant J. T. McMillan, who for over ten years has been the nautical expert in the Branch Photographic Off, flee has been ordered to report for duty on the gunboat Wheeling now at Puget Sound. Lieutenant McMillan has made a host of friends while he has been in San Francisco, all of whom will be sor- ry to hear of his having been ordered to sea service again. He himself, how ever, is delighted with the change, and Is hoping and praying that the Wheel ing will be ordered to the Atlantic.
 The gasoline launch Belvedere has been a success ever since she was put on the Sacramento River. She has been running opposition to the other river boats between Rio Vista and Sac ramento and has done so well that her owners have decided to improve on her and give their patrons an improved service Hitherto the launch has been making g knots an hour with a 20 horsepower engine, but 35 horse power engine has been ordered from the Union Gas Engine Company, and with 1t the Belvedere will be able to speed up to 12 knots. This will cut her running time down considerably and will prove a great boon to the travel ing public between Rio Vista and Sac ramento.

 The British bark Birkdale, which left here on February 20 last for Algoa Bay, had a very rough passage. She was caught in hurricane and thrown on her beam ends. Two of her boats were smashed by the heavy seas and at one time it was feared that the stout ship would go to the bottom. She was straightened up, however, and reached Algoa Bay in safety a couple of days ago.

 ERNEST FAIJRHT.

ERNEST FAUBEL. '
 The people who saw Faubel on Mon- day say that he was perfectly at ease and that if he did contemplate suicide he showed no signs of it. Late Mon- day afternoon he purchased bottle of carbolic acid from G. F. Fuller, a phar- macist, on the corner of Clay and Fill more streets. Fuller had been in the habit of selling acid to Faubel, who used it to wash out the sores on his horses legs. Fuller says that when Faubel bought the last bottle he was sober and in good spirits.
 The mother of the deceased was heart-b broken. Tn the letter to the Cor oner the deceased says he has no par ents. This was perhaps due to the malignancy of the suicide because of parental correction, and his parents re- fusal to assist him further unless he divorced himself from his vicious habits. Mrs. Faubel assigns the cause of the suicide to an unbalanced mind and too frequent petations of whisky. @ The body was found the place di- rected by Faubel in his letter to the Coroner. Two empty bottles with car- bolic acid labels on them were found in his pockets. The suicide was true to his determination and his taking off was merely postponed a few short hours.
