$4,000 for fight at niddleweight, and
also his acceptance of the offer Of
James ]. Corbett OF $4,000 for an oppor-

man before any regularly organized
club offering the largest purse, but he
will insist on side bet of $4,000 in each
case, and both matches must take place
before the last of September this year
This announcement is accompanied with
the offer of Julian. Fitzsimmons man
ager, and the prize fighter himself. to
bet $500 that neither Mccoy nor Cor
bett will make good his offer.
Denver. Colo. May s.-After reading
the Associated Press dispatch from Bos-

F1tzsimmons has announced that he will
fight again. fl remains to be seen whether
he will take on the man he has claimed

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

OTHER MEASURES OF WAR

Washington, May s.-The president to-
day sent the following message to con-
gress:
ITO the congress of the United States:
ION the oath of April I directed the
secretary of the navy to telegraph orders
to Commodore George Dewey, command
ing the Asiatic squadron then lying in
the port of Hong Kong, to proceed forth
with to the Philippine Islands. there to
commence operations and to engage the
Spanish fleet.
promptly obeying that order, the
United States squadron, consisting of the
flagship Olympia, the Baltimore. the RI
leigh, the Boston, the Concord and the
Petrol, with the revenue cutter McCul-
loch as an auxiliary dispatch boat, en-
tered the harbor Of Manila at daybresk
on the first of May and Immediately en-
gagged the entire Spanish fleet OF eleven
ships, which were under the protection
Of the land forts. After a stubborn fight
in which the enemy suffered great loss.
these vessels were destroyed or complete
ly disabled and the water battery at Ca

men not one was lost and only eight in
jured, and those slightly. All of our
ships escaped any serious damage.
'By the 4th of May Commodore Dewey
had taken possession Of the naval station
at Cavite, destroying the Notifications
there and at the entrance OF the bay.
and paroling their garrisons. The waters
of the bay are under his complete con-
troll. He has now established hospitals
within the American lines, where $50 Of
the Spanish sick and wounded are as
sisted and protected.
THE magnitude of this victory can
hardly be measured by the ordalnry
standards of naval warfare. Out weigh
Ing any material advantage is the moral
effect Of this initial success. At this I'M
surpassed achievement the great heart
of our nation throbs, not boasting or with
greed Of conquest. but with deep graft
tude that this triumph has come in
ust cause and that by the grace of God
an effective step has thus been taken to-
ward the attainment Of the wished for
peace. To those whose skill, courage
and devotion have won the fight, to the
gallant commander and the brave ofic-
ers and men who aided him, our country
owes an incaIculabe debt.
Feeling as our people feel. and speak
ing in their name, ! at once sent a mes
sage to Commodore Dewey. thanking him
and his officers and men for their splen-
did achievement and overwhelming vic
tory and informing him that I had ap-
pointed him an acting rear admiral.
ct now recommend that following our
national precedents and expressing the
fervent gratitude of every heart, the
thanks Of congress be given Acting Rear
Admiral George Dewey Of the United
States navy for highly distinguished con-
duct in conflict with the enemy and to
the officers and men under his command
for their gallahtry in the destruction of
the enemy's fleet and the capture of the
enemy's Notifications in the bay OF a

Getting ont of the Car.
From the Memphis scimitar.)


Why don't men who Intend jumping
off the cars start in time?" It was the
conductor who spoke. and his voice had
a pathetic ring 10 ii as he rang up an
other fare and turned TO get an answer.
Maybe they intended TO signal the con-
ductor and could not catch his eye. as
the conductor was gazing at the sights"
replied the lone passenger on the rear
platform The conductor did not flare
up al the cut. but ne went on: We'll,
some Of the conductors are careless about
that. but that don't excuse those hurry
up men They will sit in the car until il
is at their corner and then start for the
door. They have 10 hurry because they
don't want to get left. So they sway
down the car aisle tramping on all the
toes, stepping on dresses. and making
themselves generally disagreeable. Some
times they have an umbrella and they
stick this in some ones face as they fly
past TO give matters an added interest.
Then. If, after all. they are carried past
the corner. they abuse me for it, although
they gave absolutely no sign for me to
stop the car. / saw one of those rushers
tear Two dresses and catch three feet as
he stamped out, and maybe / was not
glad when he stumbled over a lame
mans crutches near the door and fell
fat. He got up and swore he would sue
the company. but / took down the names
of all the passengers as witnesses, and
when he heard some Of the remarks they
were making, I think he decided to let
the matter go" And the conductor
backed up against the corner of the car
to dodge a big man who came racing
out.

A Noticeable Decrease in the Vol
ume of Business.
The List Closes. .FractionaIiy Lower,
Few Speciaities Losing Over
One Per Cent.

New York. June 1S-The week has been
notable one in, commercial and finan-
cial affairs because of the unusual num-
Der of important occurrences bearing up
on the general business situation. Chief
among these Is the enactment into law of
the war revenue measure that Congress
has been considering for many weeks and
the offering as popular, loan OF 100000
00O of the per cent bonds authorized
by the new statute.
Next In Importance, partly because it
was a surprise to NEARLY erersenes. was
the collapse of the Letter wheat deal and
the consequent sharp decline in the price
of wheat. So far as Wall Street senti-
ment is concerned, it will, according 10
precedent, change as soon as focal" spec
ulative conditions bring about another
upward movement in prices.
On the stock exchange there has been
a decided falling off in the trading in
stocks and a more noticeable decrease in
the volume of business In bonds.
Todays market was duh and in the
main heavy. The list closed fractionally
lower than yesterday, with a few of the
specialties suffering net losses of more
than ! per cent.
