extremely doubtful At police head quarters, where he has host of friends, considerable alarm is felt over his con- dition.
 About ten days ago Bohen com plained of a severe pain in his right foot, which he attributed to rheuma- tism. As it gradually grew worse Chief Lees advised him to go home, and re- main there until the pain had subsid- ed. Bohen took his advice, and as the pain continued he sent for physician. An examination disclosed the addition al fact that he was suffering from ty- phoid fever. For the last four days he has been unconscious, and it required the combined efforts of two of his men to keep him in bed.
 Ben is a very sick man." remarked Chief Lees last night, and on account of his age I fear for the worst. Since the appointment as chief of detectives he has worked night and day to pro- mote the interests of the department. This, believe, is to certain extent, the cause of his sickness
 r After being appointed the head of the detective department Captain Bohen frequently complained of the deadly gases which arise from the basement of the new City Hall.
 This place will surely do me up," he remarked to a friend who was sitting in his office a short time befora he was taken i'll. T already feel the effects of the deadly vapors that impregnate the corridors of the hall.
 'It is only short time, however, y he added, when I shall be able to re- tire on pension"
 Notwithstanding that the veteran de- tective still lives there is already con- siderable speculation as to who will succeed him. Detective John Seymour, it is said, will be warmly supported by Chief Lees for the position. It is, how ever, known that Detective Joe Bee has the friendship of the Police Commis- sioners and will in all probability get Bohen's place in case the latter dies or is retired on a pension. Bee has been associated with Detective Harper for a number of years, and is held in high regard by his superior officers.

cannot be gainsaid that the club had overlooked the fact that the people who pay cash to witness f1stic sport are at least worthy of some consideration.
 It was a duty that the club owed 10 the sporting public of this city to have insisted, when the articles were being formulated, that a clause be inserted reading thusly: In case the contest ants shall fail to agree upon a referee on the day prior to the contest the club will select a man whose decision shall be final or words of a similar kind.
 If such clause had appeared in the agreement entered into by the club and the pugilists, the thousands of good natural sports who witnessed the Lon don prize ring battle between a scien- tific fighter and an out-and-out slug ger would not have been subjected to the one and a half hours suffering they certainly endured while penned up in a veritable sweat box.
 To sum up the matter in a nutshell the affair of last night was grossly mis- managed, and the Supervisors should not grant another permit to the Ma tfonal or any other club unless there is some assurance that proper provision will be made for the care of the patrons of the sport.
 4 conservative estimate places the attendance at the ringside at 5000 peo- pie. But two entrances were provided one for the main floor and the other for the gallery. There was an overflow crowd at the door of several thousand, and spectators who had bought tickets were first obliged to edge their way through this crowd toward the terrible jam at the door. The police made some attempt to form a line, but 1t was of little use and strong men were buffeted around and had their clothes torn from them in the mad struggle to reach the entrance. The exits are little better, but two more than the entrances being provided, and in case of fire or panic a terrible loss of life would result.
 The management is obtaining money under false pretenSes to subject gentle men to such indignities at the door, coupled with the slight assurance that the reserved seat they have paid for Inside will not be taken by some usurper, and then to submit to delay of over an hour waiting for the two pugilists to settle upon a referee, some thing which should always be arranged between the principals beforehand.
 Sharkey certainly received the worst of 1t in the decision and was given the same treatment last night that he gave to Fitzsimmons at the Mechanics Pa vilion over year ago. In the way of giving rank decisions Wyatt Earp has certainly got partner In iniquity in George Green, for to declare twenty round bout a draw in the eighth round because one of the contestants is knocked through the ropes has not parallel in ringside history.
 Now for the fight.

which proved on this occasion of more interest to the spectators than the so- called event of the evening, Eddie Graney entered the ring with Choynski and his seconds. Choynski received a well-merited reception from the people who love to see clean sport. The husky sailor followed soon after with his sec onds, and was received with mingled hoots and cheers. He smiled as he sat in a chair on the southeast corner of the ring.
 Jordan then stepped to the center of the ring and said: Gentlemen the trouble now lies In the selection of a referee"
 Shouts for Jim McDonald the base ball umpire, Hiram Cook and Peter Jackson came from all quarters, but 1t was fully one hour and thirty minutes before Sharkey agreed to accept George Green, the pugilist, for referee. Graney in behalf of Choynski did not object,

Wasps financial review is evidently writ ten by a thoroughly posted individual, and this column contains much valuable information. The fake advertising Spe- cialist and handwriting expert, besides several other impostors will not be pleased with what is said about them in the

George Green distinguished himself last evening at Woodward's Pavilion by proving to the thousands of sporting men who witnessed the Sharkey and Choynski fight, that he either knows not the first thing about the rules of Queensberry or had entered the ring when called upon with the intention of giving somebody the worst of a hard game.
 The National Club Is also entitled to severe criticism for the outrageous manner in which it treated the patrons of the ring. Although the agreement which the pugilists had signed did not state that the club should appoint a referee in case the fighters failed to agree upon any one of the numerous men who have heretofore been prom inently connected with the game, it

Cries of ''Four' heard from Sharkey is fighting and hitting Joe in the clinches, but the referee paid no atten- tion except to raise his hand for the fight to go on. Both men swinging both hands and fighting like bulldogs as the round ends, and neither heard the bell and had to be broken from a clinch by their sec onds.

The referee yelled and tried to expostulate, but was hustled to his corner by the police Choynski was lifted back through the ropes by friends and walked to his corner unaided. The house was in a terrible uproar all the while.
 The preliminary events to the even ing's sport opened with a four-round bout between Hugh Dougherty of Chi cago and Joe Sullivan of this city. Dougherty was awarded the fight in the middle of the last round by Referee Frank Allen, he having Sullivan cOn- pletely at his mercy.
 Frank Babcock of Pennsylvania and Grant Rogers of this city then came to- gether for four rounds. Babcock knocked Rogers down twice in the sec- ond round. He forced the fighting in the fourth, and had Rogers so nearly out that the bout was stopped and Babcock given the decision.
 Next came Pat Lynch and Jack Hall, both of this city, In a six-round con- test Lynch was clearly the best man. as was demonstrated early in the first round, so the police stopped the bout, and under the rules the referee had no recourse but to declare 1t a draw.

principal theater Of the city was taxed
to its utmost capacity during the after
noon on the occasion of a public meet
ing of delegates from the chief towns of
the island to consider and draft recon-
mendations~ regarding the necessities Of
the island for the use of the special COM

represent Porto Rico at Washington
when the time comes for settling the
administrative system. The meeting
adopted with enthusiasm the resolutions
demanding territorial rights, the cessa-
ton of the present military rule and the
installation of regular civil government.
Other resolutions were adopted asking an
8-hour day for the laboring man and
severely denouncing the present corrupt
system Of registering deeds of land.
It was obvious that the delegates pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that the
United States would grant Porto Rico
territorial rights.

mother, where one of their children has
been having the benefit of kindergarten
training and the other two children of
public schools. In addition to visiting
his wife and children at Minneapolis

ted to a painful surgical operation which
required his presence from time to time
for treatment resulting in his complete
recovery. During this time and on
February last his office and also a por-
ton his library at Bathgate burned.
Through the kindness of his friend Mr..
j. j.. Windle of 324 New York Life Build
ing, Mr.. Young was afforded the privi-
lege of placing a desk in his office, thus
having access to and the use of the ex-
cellent law library in that building to
prepare his North Dakota cases, when
necessarily in Minneapolis at intervals.
He never was apracticing attorney there
and never had a law Office there and
that is the whole story. Since 1887 Mr..
Young has not been absent from his
business, home and practice at Bathgate
for a consecutive period of more than 30
days. That ought to constitute a pretty
good residence. All of his neighbors
without regard to party think SO.
Judge Young has been a resident OF
Bathgate since 1887 and has voted there
at every election since, and never voted
in Minneapolis or elsewhere-and has
had no other home.

Charges Of Irregularities.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l. - Secretary
Bliss has been investigating the alleged
scandals in connection with the sale Of
the timber lands of the Chippewa In
dams and will treat the subject in hia
forthcoming report to congress. The
charges, upon investigation, are shown
to be utterly without foundation. Under
the treaty of 1889 the United States
has advanced to the Indians over
q, 1000, 600 and as yet has been
reimbursed only to the extent Of
$500, OO0. The expense of estimating the
timber lands which are to be sold has
been rather heavy, owing to the fact that
there have been several boards, but the
present board is doing its work with per-
feet satisfaction. The secretary's report
will clear upthe misrepresentation which
exists in certain quarters regarding the
sale Of their timber lands.
