Joe FIaherty Looking for Fistic Honors
In Boston.

Joe Flaherty, the lightweight pugilist,

home since he prepared Jack LAWYER
for the match with Patsey Sweeney.
left for Boston yesterday in quest of
matches. Flaherty intends to take in
the foot ball game today and will re-
main in Boston until Monday or Tues
day. He has received propositions
from boxing authorities in Boston and
cities of that vicinity, and the purpose
of his trip yesterday was to clinch the
matches.
He would not say with whom the
matches are impending, preferring to
keep silent until they are riveted. The
experience he has had with Buffalo and
New Haven clubs has made him shy
in his expectations of matches. He
has heard nothing of his partially ar
ranged fights with Patsey Sweeney or
Emil Sanchez. When he returns, next
week, he will begin active work in his
boxing school in Flagg's block on Main
street.

MCBRIDE.

Captain Malcolm Lee Mcbride halls
from Cleveland, where he first played
foot ball in the university school of
that city. He played tackle on
the freshman class eleven at Yale but
the year following was tried at full
back on the varsity, of which now in
his senior year he is captain. His
punting is better than ever, and his
line bucking places him in the front
rank of big college backs. He is 6 feet
inches tall, is 81 years of age and
weighs 1870 pounds His chief fault in
the game is that he has tendency to
kick low and to one side He has not

Fl Gordon Brown, Jr., 1901, of Flush

gainstay in the rush line. This is his
third year on the varsity squad, for
he made the position he now fills at
left guard in his freshman year. He
learned the rudiments of the game at
GrotOn school. He is without doubt
the next captain of Yale's eleven, for
his long record entities him to the dis
tinction. He has this year developed
into running guard of the Heffel-
finger order. He weighs 1893. This boy
of 20 is hard man for an opponent to
handle in any style of game.

George c. stillman, 1901, of Brooklyn,
was hustled into the varsity squad last
year before he was quite ready for it,
and without proper coaching was sent
into the big games This year he is in
finirely better man because of his
last years training on the crew. He is
only 20 years old, but has convinced
critics that he is an exceedingly strong
tackle, ard despite his youth ought to
stand any amount of hard pounding in
the right tackles position, which he
has filled so admirably since the mem
orable Wisconsin game. He weighs
1S1 pounds and stands feet inch in

Herman Parker Olcott, 1900, Of New

Yale and at Belts academy. This is
his first year on a Yale varsity squad,
and he shows the lack of the coaching
that Brown has had. Nevertheless he
is a valuable man. He is only q years
of age, but tips the beam at 1879 pounds,
all of which is hard muscle He is 6

Perry T. w. Hale, 1900, Of Portland,
Ct, prepared for college at Portland
high school, where he played foot ball
in a matter of fact way. He came to
Yale and was made centre of his fresh
man year eleven Last year he was
crowded out of the competition, but
this year. from the start, has made
things hot for his competitors. He fills
the position of left tackle to perfec-
ton. and has become known as the

gressiVeness Sanford advised that he
be made centre last Tuesday and it is
in that position that he is liable to go
into the games for the championship

Cunha go out, Hale will go in at that

and opponents fear his attack. He

cover the face of his foe with shame.
He executes his threat by tearing up
a certain number of his own blankets.
The only way his antagonist can get
even with him is by tearing up great
er number of his own. If the contest
is prolonged, it results in the destruc-

each Indian destroying his own. The
one who destroys the greater number

DEWEY AND THE GERMANS.

When Admiral Dewey cabled to Wash

Oregon should at once be sent 10 Ma
Mia much speculation was created as to
the possible meaning Of the term en-
ployed by the admiral. Serious compll-
cations, and possibly hostile demonstra-
tions on the part Of the German admiral
in Manila bay, were accepted in many
instances as the primal cause that
prompted Admiral Dewey to ask for the
great battleshlp.
The German government evidently
foresaw possible clash bet ween the two
naval commanders, and desiring to avoid
any controversy or breach ir the friend
ly relations with the United States, has
advised the state department of it's IN
tention to remove the German fleet
from Manila bay, and asking permission
to place the German interests under the
care of the United States government
During the war with Spain the German
admiral committed several acts in Ma
Mia bay which caused Admiral Dewey
to warn him repeatedly, and any uneasi-
ness that may have prevailed on that
account has now been completely re-
moved.
President Mckinley has accepted the
trust Of protecting German interests in
the Philippines, and instructions have
been sent to Admiral Dewey and Gen.

THE COAST AND EXPANSION.

Cities on the Pacific coast are already
experiencing the results of expansion,
and eastern capital is continually seek
irg investment IN various enterprises.

rf ny composed of Chicago capitalists

mmoth salmon cannery on Puget

Ger of Chicago, is at the head of the en-
terprise, and John Cudahy, the million
aire packer, is the vice president. The
new company will operate on Belling-
ham bay, between the cities of Far
haven and New Whatcom, Wash.
This is simply an example of what is
going on on the Pacific coast, and indi-
Gates what great possibilities the future
has in store for the west. Eastern capi-
talists realize what expansion means to
the Pacific coast and are promptly avail
ing themselves of the excellent oppor-
tunities offered New steamship lines
are being organized for the trade be-
tween Puget sound and the Orient, and
several additional lines of railroad will
reach the Pacific coast this summer.
Several years ago real estate boom
at Fairhaven and other cities on the
sound caused many Montana men to
invest more or less money for town lots
in those places. All are familiar
with the result, and many have permit
ted their holdings to be sold for taxes or
otherwise A good many, however, still
retain their interests, and these will
meyer have cause to regret their action

People owning real estate on the Pa

this is no temporary boom, but is
brought about by the immense increase
in our trade with the Orient, and that in
the course of very few years our COM
merce on the Pacific will outrival any

A BOON FOR THE WEST.

A brief space Of time only has elapsed
since the peace treaty was ratified, and
already have the promised results be-
come noticeable, especially along the
Pacific coast. Enterprises of various
natures are being launched, and capital
lists from the east are reaching out to SO.
cure share of the Pacific trade. 1t is
predicted that the commerce OF
the Pacific will in the future
become very great and that Atlantic
seaports will rank secondary to those Of
our western shore. Many new steam
ship lines will be created to carry our
merchandise to the Orient and exchange
our silver for products of the far East.
Great factories will spring up along our
western shore, furnishing profitable em.
ployment for American workmen and
creating demand for the products of
this continent, to be manufactured into
various articles for export. Closer busi
ness relations will be established by
the building of additional railroads
acro.s the continent. and with the com.
pletion of the Nicaragua canal nearly
the entire shipping between Asia and
Europe will touch at American ports.
That the canal will be built is now as
sured, and that the worlds commerce
will experience complete revolution
Is assured without any doubt whatever.
The most pleasing feature of expan-
sion, however, Is that it will place us
into closer commercial relations with
countries whose interests are identical
with our own. Silver is one of our chief
products, and silver is the money OF
the many millions of people of the fal
East Our product is consequently IL
demand and will readily purchase any
article we need in our manufacturing
enterprises or for the consumption ol
our people. Raw materials may be
bought for the product of our mines ano
converted into manufactured articles
which in turn can again be sold IN for
