At the meeting Of the Rhode Island
Baptist Social union, held at the Tro-
cadero last evening. there was large
attendance, and after an excellent sup
per and some very good vocal music
by the choir OF the First Baptist church
President William c. Burwell called the
assemblage to order.
He then introduced Rev. II. o. His
cox. ID. d., pastor of the First Baptist
church. Maiden, Mass, who spoke upon
Imperialism" lie said, among other
things. that he was sure the people of
the Philippines would come into this
country, and we couldn't find any way
to stop them. This would injure the
laboring men. lie dwelt on the pefils
of militarism. The church is I'm danger.
The expansion idea. with its lust OF
gain, VIII hurt the church. Civiliza-
tion doesn't amount 10 anything; all
civilization has fallen; evangelization is
everything.
IF only $50, 100000 of this vast amount
we are going TO squander could be used
TO send missionaries out over the world,

for ciNiliZation--We should then prosper
materially as never before, and then
we should no more have war, but ever
lasting peace"
Gov. Dyer was next introduced. and

"A victorious match. SO well did they

AMERICANS CONTRIBUTE.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Mansion House
fund for tho relief of the bereaved is
growing by leaps and bounds well into
six figures. 1t is noted that many Ameri-
can residents and visitors in London are
joining in the contributions, adding their
dollars to the swelling of the fund.
Before the SCOTS Guards left London
for the scene of operations they were ter
ribly impatient TO get away and quite
angry that so much fighting was going on
before they could get out to have their
share, but since then the scenes, weather
and even their feelings have undergone
a sudden change, for they are now in
transports. It is said of one of the Off
GERS Of the Guards that he missed the
train to Southampton, but with that re-
source for which the brigade is famous
the delinquent quite coolly ordered a spe-
cial train and in the end arrived before
the rest Of his regiment. In order to al
low his special to pass the train he
missed had to be detained, so he not only
caught :he original train, but passed 1t.
War, With all its horrors, has it's hui
mors, too. Much fun is being made out
of the story that some Of the English
soldiers, In looting the enemy's camp al
Glands Laagte, robbed the Beers of some
of their most priced possessions in the
shape Of large number Of top hats and
frock coats. What could the Beers want
with such apparel in the field of battle
unless, as the Globe suggests, the God
fearing followers of Saint Dom Paul had
been ordered to wear them when they
have to 20 into action on Sundays2

MANY YAQUIS
TAKEN PRISONERS
Were Captured in a Skir-
mish at Sahuaripa.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Oct. 2S.-Information was re-
ceived here to-day from Grit, State of So
nora, Mexico, stating that a detachment
of Mexican troops had arrived there, hav-
ing in charge twenty-five Yaqui Indian
prisoners, whom they were taking to
Guaymas, to be placed in prison pending
a settlement Of the war. Hitherto the
Mexican forces have given out the infor-
nation that they were taking no prison
ers, nor would they take any, as they pro-
posed to kill all the Indians as fast as
they came upon them. The fact that they
brought in twenty-five to-day, however,
evidences the fact that they intend to
take prisoners.
1t Is reported that these prisoners were
captured in a skirmish with Indians near
Sahuaripa, Mexico. during which several
Mexican soldiers were wounded. It is also
reported that two were killed and one or
two taken prisoners by the Indians.
Immediately following this skirmish
which was somewhat in the nature of a
surprise party to the Indians, the main
body of Indians retreated to the noun
tains northwest Of Sahuaripa and are now
hiding in the mountain Businesses. Judg-
ing from present indications there will be
no fighting for some time, as this skirmish
has driven the Indians back in the noun
tains and in addition to the number Of the
warriors captured 1t is rumored that fully
as many more Indians were killed, which
has served TO rather demoralize them for
the time being.

mat. He was in his corner twelve min
utes and was then carried from the ring
by his seconds, unable 10 walk, but nay
ing regained a small measure of intelll-
gence. AS he was carried through the
ropes he rolled his head wearily toward
Sam Fitzpatrick and said it was a
''chance blow" The right side Of his
jaw. where Fitzsimmons struck him, was
badly swollen.
Fitzsimmons fought with all his old
time fire and was as spry and shifty on
his feet as he had ever been. He appeared
many pounds overweight from MS proper
condition, but was as quick as lightning
with his hands, and no victory tnat ever
came to him was won by more brilliant
work than this.
His feinting was extremely rapid, ana
his blows shot in so fast that Thorne was
beaten at the start. He had no confidence
when he put UP his hands, and every
blow landed by Fitz made him more ap-
prehensive than before. His face as the
men met in the center of the ring was
made by Fitz with either hand he would
duck in a scared way as though AFRAID
that the end had already come. he
ducked when Fftz was five feet away,
with no intention of striking at him. he
was utterly outclassed in fighting ability,
and through his own lack OF conhdence
lost every chance he might have had OF
winning or staying the limit.
The bout was to have been for SIX
rounds and 1t was generally believed that
Thorne, on account of his showing against
craig ana MCCOY, WOulQ De dDle 10 ldSt
If not the limit at least three rounds.
Sam Fitzpatrick, his backer, expressed
himself before the men entered the ring
as being confident that Thorne would win,
saying If he did not believe so he would
never have brought him to Chicago to
fight ,Fitzsimmons. After the fight was
over he held to the opinion that the blow
which knocked out his protege was a
piece of luck on the part of Fitzsimmons,
but those who had seen Fitzsimmons
fight before knew better. 1t was the same
lightning jab that won F'itzsimmons the
championship at Carson, the same quick
blow that laid Peter Maher on his back
for two minutes at Langtry, Texas 1t
was the blow that Fitzsimmons has al
effect when it reached the point where 1t
touched Thorne tonight.

WILL FIGHT THE
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

PASADENA, Oct. 2s.-Since the forming
of two sanitary districts in this section
by election on October 10 the fight be-
tween the saloon men and anti-saloon men
has grown hotter. The districts were
marked out by the Anti-Saloon League
and the election was looked after by the
league, which retained attorneys, know
ing that they woul be necessary to hold
the ground gained by the election
The first step taken by the anti-saloon
element after the election was to call for
the Superior Court on the County Board
of Supervisors restraining them on the
ground of technicalities, from counting
UP the election returns and declaring the
districts established. From 10 O'clock in
the morning until 8 o'clock in the after
noon was absorbed in Judge Trasiy,a
court In hearing the arguments on both
sides.
C. c. Wright, author of the Wright Ir-
rigation act, who has been retained by
in. Southern California, and Deputy Dis
trict Attorney l.. c. Wilbur defended tha
law for the people and for the County Su-
peryisors respectively. Attorneys F. F.
saloon men, M. Ricard of Lamanda Park
and n. c.. Werner of North Pasadena
Judge Trask decided In favor of the anti
saloonists, dissolving the injunction pro-
ceedings on the ground that 1t was not
proper to bring such a suit In a court Of
equity.
The County Clerk and Board of Super
visors are bound to count up the returns.
The law Is mandatory on that question,
said the Judge.
Immediately the attorneys for the sa-
looms gave notice of appeal and say that
they will make the costs come upon the
new sanitary board If the Clerk declares
the board elected. The County Clerk has

to- England, may have the opposite effect
on the official attitude from the one In
tended. Germany cannot act with less
consideration toward Great Britain than
France and Russia show. 1t is a grave
mistake on the part of our rabid anti
British statesmen to say that Britain is
isolated. She has the United States as a
close friend, as has been again demon
strated recently, when the Venezuelan
decision was rendered and the American
press found no fault with the verdict.
though the matter not SO long ago was
almost made a casus belu by the United
States. Great Britain has Japan as an
other friend and may even count on. Rus
sia's support in many instances. Above
all, 1t seems doubtful whether it would
be wise for Germany to make an enemy
of Great Britain at this juncture."
The correspondent also learns on ex-
ceptional authority that Germany has no
idea Of interfering with Great Britain in
South Africa now or later All rumors
fioated to that effect are baseless and
probably circulated for a purpose. All
appeals to the Emperor and Government
this week by meetings and urgent letters
from Africa will have no effect on Ger
man policy. During the whole duration
of the war Germany will be strictly neu-
trail, as has been pointed out from the

ONLY ONE
MINUTE OF
FIGHTING
Ex : Champion Fitzsimmons
Easily Disposes Of Jeff
Thorne.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Jeff Thorne of Eng
land was knocked out by Bob Fitzsim-
mons in one minute of fighting at latter
sails tonight. Thorne, who was evil
IDENTIFY very much afraid of Fitzsimmons,
did not land single blow and made only
one light attempt to lead with his left,
the blow falling short by several inches
The blow delivered by Fitzsimmons was
q short left jolt, which did not pass
through six inches of space before land
Ing on Thorne's jaw. After Thorne was
counted out Fitzsimnons picked him up
bodily and carried him to his corner,
placing him on chair which Sam Fitz-
patrick, who had been confident Of
Thorne's victory. had placed hurriedly on
the platform.
Fitzsimmons was attended by Martin
Julian and Yank Kennedy. Thorne was
seconded by Sam Fitzpatrick, Patsy Ha-
ley and Joe Sullivan. Fitzsimmons looked
fat-at least eight pounds over weight
but otherwise he would have been in first
class condition,
The men agreed TO fight according to
Marquis of Queenberry rules, breaking
free.
Round 1-Fitzsimmons began feinting
and Thorne appeared afraid and kept
away. Fftzsimmons led with his left
and missed. Fftzsimmons landed
landed left on the face, tented with
his right and missed right for the
head: Fitzsimmons landed a left on
the jaw, knocking Thorne down and
out. Time Of fight, one minute.
Thorne fell fiat on his back, his legs
drawn up spasmodically and he rolled
over slowly on his hands and knees In a
vain attempt to regain his feet. The ef-
fort was futile, however, and he fell fiat
on his face, utterly unconscious.
Malachi Hogan, the referee, bent close
over him with his mouth at Thornes ear
shouting the seconds, but Thorne lay like
q dead man. After turning over on his
face he neither moved nor seemed to
he.
Thorne, after being carried to his cor
ner, was surrounded by a group of
friends, who labored anxiously to bring
him to consciousness He was drenched
repeatedly with cold water, Fitzsimmons
In the meantime standing by, anxiously
doing what he could for the vanquished
man. Thorne was held in his chair by
Sam Fitzpatrick and Joe Sullivan, and,
although able to move slightly, was as
dead to the world as when he lay on the

done SO, and the members of the new
board have received their certificates.
Thus the situation has narrowed down
to this: The districts are established and
the boards may now elect their officers,
but they are chary of tranSacting any
business and have entered into earnest
consultation with their attorneys. They
have assumed an attitude of defense,
leaving the saloon men to take offensive
steps.
The latter element say they will fight
every inch of the ground, declaring that
the saloon feature of the sanitary dis
trtct, that is, the feature which gives or
refuses liquor licenses within the bounds
Of the district, has never been tested in
the Supreme Court.
The saloon-keeper at Lamanda Park
says If he Is driven out he will immedi-
ately move farther east, to Sierra Madre;
and the Sierra Madre people, hearing this,
have begun to talk of forming a sanitary
district Of their own. The saloon-keeper
in North Pasadena District talks, If the
worst comes, of moving farther north to
a place called Devils Gate.
A colored preacher who heard this, re-
marked that that was the proper place for
him to go; and now the saloon-keeper has
learned that Devils Gate is inside the
sanitary district.
The feeling is 50. hot that Frank E.
Simons, who disturbed an anti-saloon
rally by calling Rev. DR.. e. S. Chapman
of Oakland, State superintendent of the
league, a liar, was arrested and after
two days jury trial, fined SIS
