MCCOY CLAIMS IT.
PrecInims Himself MiddIeweight
Champion of the World.


Champion of the World.
NEW YORK, Oct 24-Kfd Mccoy has
proclaimed himself niddleweight cham.
pion of the world. He says he will &C.
fend the title against anyone. Mccoy
bases his claim to the title on Bob Fitz-
simmons refusal to fight him for 1t.
About four weeks ago Mccoy issued a
challenge to Fitzsimmons, accompanying
1t with $1,000 forfeit as an advance Of
sincerity in his desire for a chance 10
win the title legitimately. At that time
Mccoy announced that he would allow
the forfeit to remain up for month, and
if at the end of that time Fitzsimm0ns
did not see fit to accept the challenge
he would claim the title.
FitZsimmons has not noticed Mccoy
challenge, and ''the kid has taken it for
granted that the ianky ex-champicn has
no desire to defend the middle weight
title. Some time ago FitZsimmons, in re-
fusing to accept McCoys def, said that a.
he had been promised a fight with the
winner of the Sharkey-J effries fight. he
saw no good reason for making match
with Mccoy. From Fl zSimmons stand.
point this view is all right, but from Nc
Coy's it is all wrong. No one knows bet
ter than Mccoy that championships not
Won in actual combat are not desirable
but he feels that after every other means
failed to get it he has the privilege OF
claiming it.

CommissfOn-Unite States Does
Not Propose to Surrender Terri
Hints From Imperial Government.
LONDON, Oct 24.-The Associated Press
is enabled to give authoritatively Can
ada's final proposition for a permanent
settlement of the Alaska dispute. 1t is
! very different from her former demands
! and was delivered to United States AM
| bassador Choate by the Canadian min
! lister of marine and fisheries Sir Louis
| Henry Davies, late the night before the
| latter sailed and dispatched today to
| Washington by the officials of the United
! States embassy. 1t is as follows:
| THAT the boundary line be arbitrated
| upon terms similar to those imposed by
| the United States and Great Britain over
| Venezuela. particularly those provisions
making fifty years occupancy by either
| side conclusive evidence of title occu-
| pancy of less than that period to be TAX
| en- as equity allowed under international
I law. ri
THAT as a condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration,
!
the United States without further claim
| If Canada received pyramid harbor
| I'm other words, Canada gives up much
of the disputed gold country in return for
a seaport, but stipulates that she must
| get the latter before she agrees to arbi-
trate the boundary line
The propositions Of Sir Louis Henry
Davies were made privately and were ap-
parently the result of an unexpected com
munication from his government, for Sir
Louis, the day previous, expressed no
! linking that he was empowered to make
such sweeping proposals. The Canadian
statesman heretofore has insistently de-
! MED the United States contention that
/ Dyea and Skaguay must first be ceded to
/ the United States before further treating
on the subject, and his sudden change of
| front and the concession of two such i'm
portant points are apparently intended as
| coup, and Mr.. Choate was found to q
certain extent, unprcpared. The only re-
ply he could make was that he would in
form the authorities at Washington and
await their advices, as his instructions
| did not contemplate such a change of
| base by Canada
IMPERIAL PRESSURE.
|
| The Associated Press Is reliably inform
| ed that Canada's new position was great
| ly influenced by imperial pressure, and
| 1t can be stated definitely that Mr. Cham
bellafn advised concession much as
possible, in order to gain a port of entry
! free from United States control, with
| the professed reasons that commercial
advantages would accrue therefrom. But
| 1t Is said that the Interior motive Is to
Increase British naval strength by maxi
ing Pyramid harbor a strong naval sta
ton.
Regarding the probable action of the
| United States in these altered conditions,
| British official opinion Is that the United
States. having been granted Dyea and

| PEELED England to take towards Venez-
| uela This course is contingent upon
the United States deciding that the old

General GODDARD.
CMPANIES NOT MADE
7 Pay for Old Books in
Exchange.

L will cost the Wichita high school
Eldents one thousand dollars for new
Sols At the beginning of school in Sep
smber, If the opinion of Attorney General
sodard. which has just been received by
Prof. Dyer. holds good touching the new
school text book law.
MIR. GODDARD says that under the law of
1889. companies that contract to supply
the books provided for use by the act of
the legislature, will not be compelled to
pr --cnange for old books. He
holds that the law of 1899 simply provides
for the use Of the new books without
compelling the companies to take the old
ones at any price. The law OF 1893 does
not mention high schools, but says pub
lie schools and then goes on to specify
a list OF books that are understood to
be for high schools and compels their
Use.
In the compiled statutes Of 1899 the text
book law is chapter 17s, and the act is
denominated in the title as supplemental
~ NA@PbCA Aa9 VI lhc l&WS VI 1881. IN the
law Of 1897 1t is provided that the COM
panies or persons contracting to supply
the books adopted shah take old books
in exchange at not to exceed 50 per cent
OF the maximum price Of the new books.
The act OF 1899, which in the title and
body OF the act Is designated as supple
mental to the act Of 1891. in section says:
The method OF advertising for bids, OF
receiving bids, the requirements of bid
ders. the opening OF bids. the awarding
and duration Of contracts, the filing and
approval OF bonds on the part OF any
person, persons, firm or corporation who
may desire to bid or to whom a con-
tract is awarded under this act, the de-
livery of books to dealers or purchasers
ana the commission for dealers shall be
the same as is provided In chapter 49,
laws of 1897"
Superintendent Dyer says that Attorney
General GODDARD is undoubtedly wrong
and that Wichita win certainly demand
payment of exchange for old books. II
Mr.. Godar6s opinion is sound # will cost
Kansas $4,000 more than usual to begin
school next fall.

WAS NEVER BEATEN
Sedgwick County a Forest Of
Big Corn.
APPLE CROP A WONDER
Farmers Say Present Pros
pect Was Never Surpassed.
APPLE CROP A WONDER

Sedgwick county nor southern Kansas
has ever seen q crop year that eouaIed
the promise Of 1889. Except the few
small spots that were drowned out by the
heavy rains in May and early June. the
county Is forest of big corn. Judge
Jewett was out fourteen miles In the
country northwest of the city yesterday
and he says the fields are constantly in
creasins surprise the further one goes.
He brought in a stalk Of corn from the
farm of J. T. Giles that stands up hardy
and heavy fourteen feet high. 1t is in
rank tassel and loaded with shoots and an
extravagant wealth of blades that have
grown from three to i've feet in length.
Mr.. Jewett says the roads are walled in
with thousands Of acres of corn Just as
good. The rains of July insure the proper
maturity OF the crop. II there should
not be another rain from now until Sep
TENDER 1. the present condition OF the soil
would ripen the corn into a yield Of
twenty bushels per acre. But II will be
forty or more.
The corn crop which Mr.. Jewett says
with the exception of the small places
drowned out equals. IL 1t does not exceed
any year in the countys history, is only
one Of the crops that will bring wealth
to the farmers this year. There IS one
of the heaviest and most thrifty yields OF
apples and small fruit ever known here
The apples are said to be this year ex-
ceptionally free from the pests that make
the crop more or less uncertain in Kan
sas. The apples brought to market in
Wichita already this season show this
Several thousand bushels Of the early va
rieties have already been marketed and
the general comment of buyers and con-
sumers is that the apple this year for
soundness and the prolific yield has beat
en- the record. There are also great crops
Of Irish potatoes. Mr.. Giles has twenty
FIVE acres which he estimates viii lyield
100 bushels per acre.
Mr.. Mcpherson, six miles south Of
Wichita, says the farmers in the county
since he has been here never had a su-
perior prospect to that of the present
season. This Is the unanimous report of
farmers upon the corn crop.
The wheat crop IL not turning out bad.
There is one gentleman six miles west of
Wichita that has already threshed his
wheat and realized yield OF twenty live
bushels per acre. He says thaht is due
largely to the way he put It in and he
promises to explain in a future issue of
the Eagle how to raise big wheat crops
every year in Kansas.

child in its lonely and wretched condition
has gone from door to door along the
miserable places of South Fourth, even
before the police cleaned up that section
of the city. and has had TO eat whatever
was given her. She accustomed herself
to lie down and sleep anywhere night

yesterday in a corner OF her fathers
house, and the child was In a pitiable
condition. A kindly woman Of near the
vicinity helped Major Burr arrange the
child decently and they took her before
Judge Kirk to have her committed to the
Children's Home.
1t is said that the child was at the
home before, but the mother returned
from a trip with some money and took
the child away. Then she went away
again. leaving her daughter on the
mercies Of the world. Daisy appears TO
be an exceptionally, bright child. and
under proper care may grow up to be a
useful woman.
