The San Francisco Athletic Club Holds a Successful Tour
 narnent.
Priest Proves Surprise and Makes Things Warm for Ills Op-
 pOnents.

Last nights lightweight tournament or the San Francisco Athletic Clup oeVei- oped a boxer who Is pocket eoltlon oi doughty Joe Choynsh in appearance science and hitting powers Ills name Is Priest, and from the exhibition he gave of his prowess he will doubtless convert such clever youngsters as Lawler, ott and other leaders in his class into mas beens" He only appeared twice Tn the tournament, and the showing he made against his opponents led every rinsgoer in the packed club-room to pick him as a winner.
 But for the humane and just interfer- ence of popular Sergeant Brophy, the tournament would have been completed. Tn the semi-final round of the tourna- ment, young, gritty and willing Billy Dirk and Priest were the contestants Although the boys were of the same height, yet 1t could be easily seen that Priest had the advantage In reach, science, generalship and hitting powers: began fiddling, and Priest drew Dirk out with clever feint and landed stin left swing on the latter's head, knocking him to his knees. Dirk regained his pins, and after countering, Dirk in attempting to duck vicious left hook just escaped heavy right uppercut which would have lifted his head off had 1t landed. Seeing that the plucky lad stood no chance against Priests onslaught, Sergeant Brophy .interfered. and although ne was missed the majority of those present ap- plauded his humane action. As was proper, Referee E. J. Smith of the Acmes decided it no contest.
 The evenings sport opened with Perry and Mccarthy as cards. The four rounds were filled in with wild swings, which en- dangered those seated outside the ropes more than the contestants themselyes Eventually the judges, Professor J. P. Be- han and H. Tank of the Acmes, gave Perry decision.
 William Savage, a youth. who bore out his cognomen both in brutality and power to take beating, and Johnny Me Donald, lanky scrapper, entertained the crowd with a lively ,set-to, in which Saw age gained the honorS.
 It took Mir. Priest just two rounds to show his superiority over MT. Flannigan. He outboxed the latter, outpunched him and nearly made him swallow his gum. All this tired MT. Flannigan and some people were uncharitabie enough to say that he knew he was .sup against it' and lay down. At all events he was knocked out
 the grittiest battle of the tournament. Dean outclassed Dirk in reach and science, but the little fellow made up. for 1t in determination and willingness, which won him a decision.
 While the winners were resting. Joe Hansen sang and Professor Franks gave a bGndfold trapeze performance.
 Perry and Savage, winners of the first and second bouts, then went at 1t for four rounds and their work was so even that another round was ordered. Perry'S clean hitting and fair tactics won him the deci- sion.
 Perry and Priest will come together be- fore the club on the 18th inst, when an- other exciting evenings entertainment will be given.

ALASKA PACK TRAIN
 OFF TO CHICKAMAUGA.
Abandoned Relief Expedition Starts Eastward to Join the Volun-
 teer Army.

SEATTLE, May 3.-A special train left Seattle tonight over the North Pa cif1c Railway to St. Louis via Billings It consisted of eight cars and it's de- parture is caused by war emergencies which have resulted in orders to the members of the Government aban- boned relief expedition to repair with its equipment to the army station at St. Louis The party consists of twenty men under the command of Lieutenant Ryan of the Ninth United States Cav airy. They took with them ten days travelling rations, issued by Captain William w. Robinson Jr. These men constitute the only organized pack train in the United States army, and they. were sent north to take provisions into Dawson.
 The destination of the cavalry de- tachment is problematical. The spe- cial train conveys the men, their per sonal baggage and camp equipment, ninety-two pack mules and eight horses to St. Louis It is not believed that they will be detained there, but sent on to the mobilization army at Chicka- mauga, at which point they will ope- rate as the exigencies of the war may demand.
 The orders that were first sent to Lieutenant Ryan at Dyea were for him to proceed to Vancouver Barracks. Upon his arrival here other orders fi- recting him to St Louis changed these original plans

ARIZONA COWBOYS TO
 ROUND UP THE D0NS.
The Territory the First to Muster 1.s Quota of Volunteers for the
 War

PHOENIX, May 3.-Sixteen stalwart cowboys arrived here to-day from Gila County, having travelled overland rom Globe. a distance of 130 miles, to join the volunteer cavarlymen recruiting at Whipple Barracks.
 They left on the regular train leaving here at 9:3O. Globe is about 50. miles from the nearest railroad, and news of the recruiting did not reach the people there until late Friday. They received their quota and wired Governor McCord on Monday to reserve a place for them. It was close work. but the Governor re- ceived word this afternoon from Major Brodie at Whipple that they would be received if they could reach the bar racks tonight All the Gila County men are veteran cowboys and one of them served seven years in the British army.
 A handsome, silk flag will be pre- sented tomorrow, to the cowboy cav alrymen from Arizona by Governor McCord. who left here tonight for Whipple Barracks for that purpose.
 The flag was made by the Women g Relief Corps of Phoenix. The Governor Is accompanied by Territorial Secre- tary Akers. Adjutant- General Lewis, Captain Baldwin. U. s. A.. and Attor- ney-G General Frazier.
 Arizona has the honor of having re- cruited the first volunteers in the pres ent war, the work having commenced in fact, some time before hostilities opened This honor was acknowledged to-day by the President in reply to a telegram sent by Governor McCord.

Hero of Manila to Be Made an Acting
 Admiral.
Later He Will Be Elevated in the Usual Course by Norni-
 nation.
Message of Congratulation to Be Sent as Soon as He Has Been
 Heard From.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House, Washington. May 3.

Washington, May 3.
 Secretary Long announced to-day that as soon as the department received any official word from Commodore Dewey confirming the press accounts of his victory Tn the battle of Manila a cablegram would be sent to the officer congratulating him upon the splendid performance of the American fleet un- der his direction.
 Moreover" said the Secretary. "as soon as the necessary confirmation is at hand, Commodore Dewey will be made an admiral in recognition of his valor. This will be accomplished imme- diately by an executive order designat- ing him acting admiral, just as was done in the case of Captain Sampson. Later he probably will be nominated to the Senate in the usual course for promotion to the rank of admiral"
 None of the stories coming from Spanish sources as to the battle of Ma nfla appears quite so ridiculous to na- val eyes as the solemn statement that Commodore Dewey fired Manila and the Spanish ships by the use of pe there Is no such weapon of warfare in the American navy. The ordinary ser vice shell Is very much more destruc- tive and quite capable of causing fire among combustible material. This is plainly shown by the destruction or ships through fires caused by service shells during the Japanese-Chinese war.
 It was a disclosure of the great dan ger to men -of-war thus brought pyomi- nently forward that led Secretary Her bert to order reduced to a minimum all the wood work on American ships and to have all of this wood made fireproof. One of the first results of the battle of Manila therefore is likely to be the cessation of the efforts which had been making for some time past to abandon the fire -proofing treatment of wood work because of certain minor incon- veniences from the use of wood thus treated

ALMOST A LYNCHING
 AT THE MOBILE CAMP,
Adiutant- t-General Johnson Saves a Negro From the Fury of Crowd
 of Soldiers

MOBILE, Ala, May 3.-A riot was narrowly averted at the State camp of the National Guard to-day. During a dispute between a private and Louis Reed, a negro vender of soft drinks, over the payment for a bottle of soda water, several members of Company K, Birmingham Rifles, closed in upon the disputants. The negro. becoming scared, drew pistol and fired into the soldiers, shooting Sergeant Hugh Col lins. The negro then ran, pursued by 500 soldiers and citizens, who ran him to cover under a doorstep on South Carolina street.
 The negro's life probably was saved by Adjutant-General Johnson, who ap- peared with two drawn revolvers and stood the men off until the police could take the negro away. r
 Sergeant Collins, who was shot in the temple, died tonight.

LECTURES BY
 LEARNED MEN Marin County Teachers' Institute Grows in
 Interest. Professors Griggs and Syle Ad- dress the Assembled
 Educators. Superintendent Black Tells of the Progress of Education in
 California.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, May To-day's session of the Teachers Institute was interesting from various points of view, mainly on account of the personality of the lecturers. These were Professor Edward Howard Griggs of Stanford University, Professor l.. D. P. Syle of Berkeley and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Samuel P. Black. Both the morning and afternoon ses- sions were preceded and followed by patriotic songs, and the various fea- lures of the programme were inter spersed with vocal and instrumental selections, which are the especial care of Professor Charles N. Watson.
 Professor Syle gave the first lecture at the morning session, his theme be- ing School Discipline" Professor Griggs followed with an essay on Tn spired Teaching" Both themes were elucidated in masterful manner and drew forth discussion by the institute.
 After recess Professor Syle descant- ed on the subject English in Elemen- tary Schools and Professor Griggs on "The Use of Literature in Teaching History"
 At the afternoon session a forceful address was delivered by Superinten- dent Black He referred to the sub iect of education generally, speaklns briefly on the immense educational strides taken of late years. and giving the younger teachers especially some excellent ideas In teaching the young idea how to shoot Professor Syle lec- tured at this session on Do Our Uni versailles Stand for Progress ?" He answered himself in the affirmative.
 Tomorrow session will doubtless prove fully as interesting as to-day's The teachers are all enjoying them selves keenly and are looking forward to next Thursday, when the institute In hody will visit the Oakland
