THOMPSON-LEWIS FIGHT
The Program Will Be Given This
Evening

A lively bout is promised at the Los An
.geles Athletic club this evening. Bob
Thompson and Ben Lewis, the colored
light weights, are matched for a fifteen
round go at catch weights. This will be
the principal bout of the evening. and as
both men are we'll matched and clever, as
good fight as has been witnessed here
for many months is anticipated Billy De
Coursey and kid" Chambers, of Chicago
are down for a ten-round go. Young
Thurman was to have met De Coursey, but
for some reason he backed out, and Cham
bers was substituted. The latter had a
fight at Albuquerque short time ago, and
gave good account of himself there.
Billy Gallagher and Joe Cotton will spar
a four-round exhibition. The program will
start about 9 o'clock. John Brink will be
the referee.
A rumor was circulated yesterday that
there might be no fight. because an inter-
nal revenue tax had been demanded of the
club. If this tax was found to be impera-
tive the fight would be called off. Thrs is
an erroneous report. The fight will be
given whether the club has to pay the tax
or not. The club managers do not think
they should be required to pay the tax
but If necessary they will do so, in order
not to disappoint the crowd.

Our Fruit Abroad

The credit won by California dried fruit
at the exposition held in Hamburg has
done much, it is said, to bring that COM
modify into high repute. AS a rule the
Germans, from interested motives of their
own, say nothing good of American food
imports; and when, as in this case, they
depart from their prejudlces and invest
our dried fruit with prize, the presump-
ton follows that the article has superior
merit.
Dried apricots are finding special favor
In Germany. and one locality in this state,
out of several, reports a substantial in
crease Of shipments. Other European
countries, notably ustro-Hungary, Den
mark. the Scandinavian kingdoms and
Russia, ought to be as promising fields Of
exploitation not only for dried apricots
but for similar cheap, and in those coun-
tries. unfamiliar products. The main
thing Is to introduce them in a satisfactory
way, Evidently the exposition plan is a
good one, and that 1t will be followed up
for all 1t is WORTH at the Paris exposition
simply goes to show that the fruit-groWers
know their business.
One of the advantages of the Nicara qua
canal will be the stimulus it will give the
dried fruit trade with Europe, through
cheapening the product to the consumer.
Much has been said Of the influence of the
canal in opening quick and inexpensive
route for California fresh fruit to the east
ern market, but the aid given to the dried
fr,ait exporter is bound to be as great. In
the meantime. however, nothing will pay
better than industrious drumming both at
home and abroad.-San Francisco Chron-
I icle.

GRAIL INTERPRETED
And, as Generally Happens, Got Into
Hot Water

william Grail was arrested yesterday By
Deputy Constable Mugnemi on a warrant
charging him with disturbing the peace
Of Mrs. Elizabeth Burriss of Olive street.
Grail was released on his own recognizance
by Justice Morrison, and ordered to appear
for trial today.
According to the statements Of Grail he
occupies the adjoining house to the Bur-
riss family. The latter have frequent
quarrels and yesterday Mrs. Burriss asked
him to come over and speak to Mr.. Burriss
who had abused her. Grail entered the
yard, but Burriss closed the door, and
through the shutter Of the window called
Grail a dirty cur and ordered him out OF
the yard. Grail dared him to come out
and fight like man. Grail admits he
might have used rather strong language ir
addressing Burriss To his surprise Mrs
Burriss swore to the complaint, charging
Grail with having used bad language. Bur
riss was recently injured by falling off a
ladder while painting an electric pole or
San Fernando street.

England's Opinion of us

Tn admiration and interest manifested
In the destruction of Admiral Cervera' S
fleet are indescribable. Our naval officers
look upon it as splendid achievement, re-
fecting inexpressible credit on the officers
and men of the blockading squadron. Such
Is the crushing disparity between the naval
capacity Of the two nations that it is be-
lieved that If the Spanish fleet had been
manned and fought by American officers
and crews, and Admiral SIMPSONS squad
ron led by Admiral Cervera and his officers
and men, the loss of life on the American
side might perhaps have been GREATER, but
the result would have been the same. II
