AMONG THE BOXERS.

George McFadden and Tim Kearns, the
Eastern lightweights, meet in a twenty
five round contest in New York on Dec. g.
1t is said that Young Critic, the famous
Australian lightweight, is rapidly round
ing into fighting form, and within two
months will be ready to meet any 1885,
pound man in the country.
There is talk of q movement being
started by Eastern sportsmen to provide
a fund for the purpose of erecting q
tombstone over the grave of Jack Demp-
seey, the famous "Nonpariel." At present
the last resting place Of Dempsey In the
Portland cemetery is merely surmounted
by a plain pine board.
Peter Maher has issued a challenge to
Jeffries, stating that If he is successful in
meet any one the champion may name
provided that Jeffries agrees to fight the
winner of such a match.
Terry McGovern says he will give Oscar
Gardner next show for match after his
fight with George Dixon is decided
Spider Kelly, the Californian boxer. has
accepted the. challenge issued, by Herb
Nickel, the Australian lightweight cham
pion, and they will meet before Frisco
club in the near future.
Terry McGovern's present boxing sched-
ude is as follows: Dec. 4. with Jack
Ward, twenty rounds; Dec. Is, with Harry
Forbes, twenty-five rounds; jan g. with
George Dixon, twenty-five rounds
1t is said that Larry Foley, the old
time Australian heavyweight and present
DOAlIS promoter IN the ant1pOdeS, is
worth over $1,OO0,OOO, earned through the
fistic game.
Spike Sullivan writes that he Is deter
mined to force the winner of the OBrien-
Erne battle into fight for the champion
ship: Joe Cans is also after the winner
of that contest
Kid Mcfarland says that If Terry Nc
Govern keeps up his present winning gate
he'll soon be able to whip any of the
lfghtweights. This opinion is shared by a
good many other 1stic authorities.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Says an Eastern exchange of Tom LOT
tus, who will manage the Orphans next
year: The loss Of Lotus to the Ameri-
can league will be irreparable. He is I'M
doubtedly one of the best generals of the
diamond, his skill in selecting players is
well known to every ball magnate in the
circuit and he is a strict diSciplinarian,
as his success with the teams under his
control in the past can attest. In ad-
versity he is a game loser, while as q
winner he is the most genial spirit in base
ball During the period that he has been
identified with the Western league his
suggestions have always been found
sound.
Rusie, the thunderbolt pitcher, and
Honest Hans Wagner, the sensational
batter, with the Louisvilles. are Gin
cinnati possibilities for next season. Now
that the head of the Cincinnati club and
the president of the New Yorks are on
friendly terms the deal that was blocked
last winter may be pushed through.
Rusie, on account of his treatment by the
New York club was idle all of last sea-
son.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Says Harry Weldon: Although all the
talk at present Is based on the supposition
that there will be an eight-club circuit
next season, there are are yet many
hurdles to be gone over before It will be
an assured fact. Instead of an eight-club
circuit there is likely to be a twelve
club circuit, with ten of the old cities
in line, and two new cities to take the
places Of Louisville and Cleveland. IN
dianapolfs may be one Of these cities"

TRANsCONTINENTAL WAR.
biggest One on Record Is Now About
to Begin.

to Begin.
CHICAGO, Dec. Representatives OF
the Rio Grande Western. Denver &. Rio
Grande, the Burlington and the Rock
Island have been in conference for sew
eral days discussing ways and means to
fight what they declare is secret agree
ment on the part of the Southern Pa
cttic and Santa Fe to control Pacific coast
business. 1t IS said that the hottest
transcOntinenta1 rate war that has ever
waged. probably, will result from the con-
ference.
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
traffic officials held a meeting in Salt
Lake City last September, and 1t has
leaked out that they came to an under
standing by which they expect TO divide
coast and San Francisco business said
one Of the men who attended the confer
ence in this city for the purpose of plan
ming fight. '1t all resulted from the
Santa Fe gaining an entrance into San
Francisco, and it means, if carried out,
that the competition that city expected
will not follow. 1t works also to the in
jury OF other lines that propose to fight
the agreement. 1t is understood that the
Southern Pacific agreed to take off the
Sunset Limited in order to give the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe a clear field In
:lrSt-class travel to Southern California.
Large concessions have been made by the
Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe, in
Southern California business. and the
Santa Fe's demands on San Francisco
business have also been complied with In
the allotment of large passenger traffic
to that company voluntarily by the
Southern Pacific. Other concessions were
made, and all classes Of business prac-
tically recontrolled by the combination.
1t also nullifies existing contracts for de-
livery Of special trains from California to
the Iron Mountain, as the Southern Pa
cifc insists on hauling special trains
through to New Orleans. TIE agreement
even goes so far as to include brokerage
business on the coast and military bust
ness
I'm addition to this. the Union Pacific
is given the fast train for California
the Only one which carries dining cars
on the Southern Pacific, and the Rio
Grande lines are Disseminated against in

They Are Discussed In Chicago by
Japanese Minister.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Jutro Komra, the
japanese minister to Washington, who is
in Chicago, spoke today of affairs in the
Orient.
mo" said he, IN answer to question,
there IS no political alliance between
Japan and China. and to assert that
there is, Is to talk nonsense. There is a
growing friendship between the two ma
lions and governments That is one Of
the direct and logical results Of the war.
China formerly despised Japan as a
small and unconsequental state The
war taught her our true quality. China
now respects us. and she has been i'm
mensely impressed with the modern
methods, the Western arms and the sci
ence of education which Japan has
adopted. Our friendship with China is
commercial and educational. One hun
dred and fifty Chinese youths have been
sent recently to our schools to learn
there what are the methods which has
transformed Japan"
He thought the rumor of war between
Japan and Russia absurd.

About 5000 cars of cattle came over the

Placing Orders.

The purchasing agents Of both the
coast lines are in the market for large
quantity Of railroad ties made Of Wash
ington timber The orders placed up to
date, it IS said, far exceed those of any
previous year. Other Northwestern lines
are also after Washington ties to be de-
Hvered at various points along their lines
in the spring. The demand this year is
without precedent.
Northern Minnesota lumber firms have
also received immense orders Thousands
upon thousands Of ties are wanted for
construction work which Is now under
way or contemplated for the spring.
During the hard times Northwestern
roads economical in their use of ties and
made the supplies on hand go as far as
they would. Increased prosperity and an
unprecedented amount of construction
has made money easier and Increased or
ders out Of all proportions to previous
years.
Northern Minnesota Norway pine,
Washington and Michigan hemlock and
fir are said to make the best ties, and
the sections furnishing this kind Of timber
have received the main proportion Of the
orders. Many roads are introducing
chemical preservatives in order to make
the new ties last longer.
