MATCH FINALLY MADE
JEFFRIEs AND SHARKEY ARE TO
FIGHT BEFORE CONEY ISLAND
CLUB OCT. 23
BIG PURSE rs GUARANTEED

to Challenge the Winner.
James Jeffries and Tom Sharkey are
finally matched to battle for the heavy
weight championship Of the world. The
battle will take place before the Coney
Island Athletic club on Monday, Oct %.
The final arrangements for the meeting
were perfected in New York Friday.
when the managers Of the respective
gladiators met and opened the bids for
the battle. There were but tWo-the
Coney Island and the Lenox clubs. The
former had inserted in it's proposition the
guarantee clause of $3O,OOO and that is
what gained for that organization the
coveted match. The LenoX club, or
which Tom O'Rourke is manager, was
willing to give as great percentage
as any organization, but did not offer
guarantee There is little difference,
however in the selection of a club, as
O'Rourke is directing matters for Shar-
key and will virtually be part of the
Coney Island club, as was Billy Brady
in the FitzsimmonsJeffri affair.
sHARKEY is PLEASED.
The sturdy sailor is delighted that the
match has been made. He is also pleased
that it is to occur in New York state.
Sharkey has stated that he would go
anywhere to meet Jeffries, but would
prefer that the battle occur in the East,
as he believed that there would be more
in it for the principals, and there was
absolutely no question as to receiving
fair play there. Jeffries is still abroad,
and nothing has been heard from him.
though it is presumed that he will bs
perfectly satisfied, as his interests were
guarded by Billy Brady, who, likely, got
none the worse OF the pecuniary or other
arrangements Jeffries will soon re-
turn and will likely begin work for his

Assertions and Proves

Session.

Rennes, Aug. 25.-The first witness in
Rowland Strong, an English newspaper
man, who testified that Esterhazy con-
fessed to him that he wrote the border
eau, but that the documents mentioned
in 1t had been betrayed to Germany by
Dreyfus.
A former sergeant. at one time en-
ployed in the war Office, testified to see
ing Dreyfus copying list of railroad
stations mentioned in the plan of mobil-
zation, to which Dreyfus replied: 1T is
true: but copied the list by order Of
Capt. Besse." (sensation.)
Gobout, Of the France Bank, an ex-
pert, testified positively that from an
examination of the documents Ester
hazy, not Dreyfus, wrote the bordereau
1t was written in running, natural
hand, with no tracing or other trickery
Gen. Gonse asked to be confronted
with Gobout, and put a number Of ques-
tions, over one of which the witness
stumbled, to the great satisfaction of
the military witnesses, who smiled and
exchanged joyful glances.
Bertillon, the noted anthomopertist,
was next called. He came upon the
stage followed by sergeant and four
privates. all staggering under the
weight of immense leather satchels,
bulging with documents, charts, ETC.,
which they deposited on the stage as a
roar of laughter echoed throughout the
court. A table was brought in, upon
which the plans could be placed. Wit
ness began by saying that only intelli-
gent men could follow his explanations
The court was soon half emptied as the
audience. after smiling audibly at his
extraordinary words and expressions,
became bored and went out.
Bertillon, whom the Dreyfusards, in
their most indulgent moments, describe
as a dangerous maniac," spent three
hours explaining, in unintelligible
terms. his "infallibie SYSTEM proving
Dreyfus the author of the bordereau.
Neither judges or counsel, evidently,
could make head or tail OF 1t and the
attempt by Bertillon to reproduce the
bordereau before their eyes, sitting at
the table, writing, proved a failure, as
he tacitly acknowledged by saying he
was not Well placed. To newspaper men
who crowded around Labori after adj
journment he said there was a certain
resemblance to the bordereau, adding:
"Bertillon only did what dozens could
do. II only proves he is a clever forger.
That's ALL"

DREYFUs MAKES GAINS.
Before the Court Martha
Reviewed

Rennes, Aug. 25.-Thursday's session
|of the Dreyfus court martial was
marked by one of the most exciting
scenes of the trial. The proceedings
|opened with a skirmish entirely favora-
BILE to the defense over Col. Mauret.
president of the court martial in 1894
who admitted reading one of the secret
documents to the court which had not
been seen by the defense. He pro-
tested that only one document was
looked at, alleging that this sufficed to
enable him to form a conviction that
|could not be shaken.
This protest made matters worse, be-
cause, as Nj. Laborl pointed out, if he
perused one. it was his bounden duty
to peruse all. Col. Jouaust upheld Col
Mauret in his refusal to indicate the
nature of the document he read, but NJ.
Labori announced that he would sum
mon Capt. Freystatter, another mem
ber of the tribunal of 1894. ana get his
version of what then passed behind the
backs of the counsel for the defense.
Col. Mauret felt his position keenly, and
continually hesitated before replying to
Labori's questions.
All this, however. was only prelimi-
tween NJ. Labori and Gen. Mercier. the
latter receiving reinforcements from
Gen. Roget, Gen. Gonse and Gen. de
Boisdeffre as Well as invaluable assist
ance from Col. Jouaust himself.
Whenever Gen. Mercier was COR
nered he declined to answer, and Col.
Jouaust invariably supported him.

of military clannishness. AT one time a
perfect Babel of voices reigned for sew
eral minutes until Col. Jouaust inter-

QUESTION OF A BLOCKADE.
Secretary Root Hesitatcs TO Establish
One in the Phiitpptnes

Washington, Aug. 25.-The establish
ment of Blockade of the ports of the
Philippine islands and especially those
of Luzon is a subject which is receiving
attention at the war department, al
though Secretary Root says he has yet
no sufficient information to warrant
definite action in the matter.
The secretary says that he believes in
taking advantage of everything neces-
sary to make campaign successful
and that war can not be made without
causing distress.
At the same time he thinks an abso-
lutte blockade may do more injury just
now than good.
The probabilities are that when the
fall campaign begins there will be an
effectual blockade maintained and
that commerce between the towns with
in the American lines and the country
in the control of the insurgents will be
stopped. Meanwhile all possible pre-
caution will be taken to prevent arms
and ammunition from being supplied to
the insurgents.

Gen. Mercier faced Labori's fire with
a calm demeanor, standing on the plat

his face only half turned toward his

look in the eyes. an elevation in the
tone and a swaying to and fro of the

mentA
Gen. Roget faced the court with an
air of unblushing efrrontery. He is ex-
tremely vain, and is always striking
attitudes for the benefit of newspaper
artists. His impertinent behavior was
strikingly illustrated when he inter-
rupted M. Labori's examination Of Gen.
Chanoine, which had resulted in La
BORIS scoring heavily against Mercier,
with the exclamation: This examina-
tion is waste OF time"
AS matter OF fact, the examination
of Chanoine showed Mercier in very
bad light, as 1t brought out that he had
privately communicated to Chnnoine
on the first day OF the secret sessions a
report on the Panizzardi dispatch for
insertion in the secret dossier. Gen.
Chanoine admitted that he did wrong in
accepting the report, but pleaded igno-
rance in judicial matters.
The report consists of three pages, of
which the second and third, Chanoine
declared, contained fantastic, and, in
fact, false representations
NJ Labori brought Gen. Mercier to the
stand in reference to this. Mercier ad-
mitted that the reports emanated from
Du Patty de Claim, but claimed that he
himself did not understand its contents,
although he thought 1t would be inter-
esting and perhaps useful to Chanoine.
This explanation was regarded as very
lame and combined with other shady
actions would damn Mercier as wit
ress in the eyes of any impartial tribu-
mall
The correspondent of the Associated
Press saw Madame Labori and con-
versed with her regarding her hus-
bands condition. She said he was pro-
crossing rapidly, though still suffering
considerable pain.

says: bag was found in the river
Rhine containing paper with this

hoax. Lorimier mot Lorimer) was the

CHEER CALIFORNIA TROOPS.
Display of Enthusiasm i.
Made in san Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-Golden Gate,
the beautiful entrance to the magnifi-
cent harbor of San Francisco, and the
bay itself were the scene yesterday of a
splendid marine pageant in honor of the
me-coming of the First California
volunteer regiment. The soldiers ar
rived off the harbor Wednesday evening
on the transport Sherman, after a
years service in the Philippines. For
over a month San Francisco had been
preparing to welcome them, and yes
terday's display was an appropriate be-
ginning to the festival which is to ter
inmate in a land parade Saturday.
According to the program, the Sher-
man lay outside the harbor until
o'clock in the afternoon. AT II o'clock
in the morning the signal was given for
the embarkation of those who wished
to take part in the escort of the volun-
teers to the anchorage in the harbor.
AT the noon hour the signal was given
for the escort fleet to start for the Gold
en- Gate. Crafts of every description
big ocean liners, enormous ferry boats,
stern-wheelers from up the rivers tugs
with yachts in tow-all decorated from
water-line to masthead. got under way
The hills overlooking the harbor were
densely packed with spectators. The
procession proceeded to point almost
opposite Fort Baker, at the entrance to
the Golden Gate, where most of the
boats awaited the coming of the Sher-
man.
Just after o'clock the transport was
sighted two miles out. A signal was
given and demonstration began that
never ceased until the Sherman had
dropped anchor three miles down the
bay off Folsom street wharf. The bat
tleship Iowa fired a salute of twenty
one guns, and cannon from other ves-
sells and on the docks thundered well

crowded with 100000 persons. All Cali

comes in the great military and Civic
parade.
