SMITH BARELY
 ESCAPES DEFEAT West Too Clever for the
 "Mysterious." TWENTY ROUNDS TO A DRAW LIVELY MATCH FOUGHT AT
 CATCH WEIGHTS.
Decision Rendered According to an Agreement Against 8 Ruling Based on Points
 Scored.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 14.-"Mys- terious Billy" Smith and Tommy West spared a twenty-round draw at the Horizon Athletic Club at catch weights tonight West outpointed his oppon- ent, but the decision was according to the agreement. West outweighed Smith fully ten pounds, though the lat ter had the advantage in height and reach. Smith put up a good strong fight, but was wild in his swings, while on the other hand West was cool and confident throughout the entire bout. Notwithstanding that Smith had been clearly outpointed the first half of the bout there was money offered on him after the tenth round, 100 to so, though West was a slight favorite when the bout opened.
 Smiths work was not as clean in the breaks as his opponents, and his con tinuallv hitting in the clinches called forth frequent misses from the specta- tors.
 West drew first blood in the second round, and in the sixth narrowly miss ed putting Smith out by bang on the jaw. Again in the fifteenth round he closed Smiths eye with left hook and followed 1t up by landing thrice in quick succession on the injured eye. Throughout the bout Smith did most of the rushing, but he was invariably blocked. In the nineteenth round West landed on the jaw so effectively that Smith was forced to the ropes, and a corkfng left and some strong body blows were expected to settle the event, but the gong interposed. There was a mix-up in the final round, and again West landed just as the bell rang.
The San Francisco call., 1898-11-15

put of Klondike has had an unexpected effect. Canadian and British Colum- bta authorities are now considering the question of shutting American gold seekers and miners out of their terri tory altogether. There has always ex- isted not a little feeling in favor of such action among Canadians every where. caused by the fact that the American miners have obtained the most and the best ground in Dawson and other camps nearer the United States boundary line. A decision to this effect would apply to the new dig gings at Lake Atlin, as we'll as the Klondike creeks. Before it is put into effect formal demand will be made on the United States authorities for an extension of the same privileges to Ca nadians in mining camps in American territory as are given to Americans in their territory
 Discrimination of this kind against American claim holders of the Klondike would doubtless embarrass them in many ways and result in financial dis advantage to them. One way to do it would be to compel aliens to pay a heavy royalty. while requiring of Ca- nadians only comparatively small per cent of the output of their ground. The authority for the statement that such action is imminent is an official of the customs office here.
The San Francisco call., 1898-11-15

It is pointed out that if the five Span ish Cor. .missioners here signed treaty yielding the Philippine Islands to the United States without lessening Spain debt in an appreciable degree they could not return home with the pros pect of any political future before them. and possibly would be in danger of violence at the hands of mobs.
 At the next meeting of the c Jmmis- sions the Americans will learn the def1- nite attitude of Spain on every propo- sition thus far made. The Spaniards, however. in this presentation will not declare all negotiations closed. They will insist that the sovereignty of Spain over the Philippine Islands is beyond cl estion, but will announce Spain's s readiness to yield that soverei@nty for an adequate equivalent, and will then invite neeotiations under the Spanish construction of the protocol. The American Commissioners may then communicate their final attitude to the Spaniards, but the Americans are ex- pected at a future meeting to present carefully prepared conclusions of their conte. tion and conditions. Should they be no different from those already pre- sented the time will then have arrived when Spai-. will declare herself help less though steadfast and will await the next step of the United States. whatever it will be. Thus Spain will be able to say to her creditors that she has done her most and that the issue must rest between them and the United States.
 A dispatch to the Temps from Ma drid says the officials there do not be- lieve the peace negotiations will be broken off. It adds:
 If the United States persist in their present claims. Spain will accept the conditions after formally announcing at a session of the commission and in a circular to the powers that she yields to force and owing to the impossibility of renewing the war without unobtain- able assistance in defense of her rights.
