uppercut, but was blocked. The
seventh might be said to have been
Fltzsimmon's, but he did no particular
damage with his punches.
The eighth saw the beginning OF the
end, for Fitzsimmons never regained
his balance after that round. Jeffres
began the round with straight left
on the face that again brought the
blood out of his opponents mouth. The
Cornishman staggered against the
ropes, but came back for another facer.
There was fear in Fitzsimmons' corner
and Julian yelled to Fitzsimmons to be
careful. Fitzsimmons planted one Of
his lefts on Jeffries' jaw and staggered
him against the ropes. Fitzsimmons
looked like beaten man.
The ninth round was all Jeffries.
He sent the Australians head back
with series of lefts, put his right on
the body and avoided any serious pun
lshment. Fitzsimmons kept pressing
forward, all the time, however, but
was unable to find his opponent.
The tenth was in reality where the
dght ended. Jeffries rushed his oppo-
nent and downed him with a left
swing. Fitzsimmons seemed out and
there was a moment of the widest ex-
element, Julian ran along the side of
the ring and sprinkled water on his
fallen idol. At the end of seven Sec
onds Fitzsimmons staggered to his
feet, only to go down again. He was
up again and Jeffries poised himself
for the finishing touch. He shot in his
left to the body and tried for the head
with his right. He was calm and col
lected, but the time was too short.
Again did the gong come to the aid
OF the man who was then going, stag
gering and dazed, to certain defeat.
There was frantic effort to revive the
champion of champions, but he was
,leanly gone and his seconds could not
restore him.
The gong sounded and the eleventh
and last round commenced. Fitz.
simmons wabbled toward his opponent,
there was a moment Of sparring, and
the giant arms of the young Califor.
nian shot through the air. 1t was left
and right and over. Fitzsimmons
dropped to the floor, and the timers
called off the seconds that called out
an old ring hero and heraled a new
one.
AS soon as Htzsimmons was carried
to his corner the spectators crowded
over the benches and through the
ropes and the police had great Diff
Guilty in keeping the ring clear. The
partisans of the Californian almost
went crazy and pandemonium reignet
for several seconds.
FitZ came to himself quickly anf
Jeffries walked across to the defeated
champions corner and both SHOOT
bands warmly. Judging from the ex
preston on Fitzsimmon's face he die
not feel much disgruntled at his de
feat

No Danger of n Clash.

Washington, June l0.-Minister CAL
vo of Costa Rico has been advised by
his government that two companies of
troops sent a short time ago to Port
Limon, near the Nicaraguan border,
because Of the assembling there of
large bodies of Nicaraguan troops ON
the border, had been withdrawn. The
minister accepts this as showing that
there is no further likelihood of clash
between the Nicaraguan or Costa Rican
troops on the border and everything
is going on smoothly.

just Marauding Bands.

Washington, June l0.-The conclu-
sion drawn by war department officials
concerning the condition in the Philip
pines given in the dispatches OF GEN.
eral Otis are that the insurgents are
little more than marauding band,
which will continually decrease when
the men find that there is life and lib
erty under American government. The
people who are coming into the Ameri-
can lines asking protection are consid-
cred like those who sought protection
in the forts during the early stages of
American development in the west.

battle with the dynamiters of the Union
Pacific express train has been fought
in the mountains forty miles north of
Casper by the sheriff's posse which has
been in pursuit since Sunday morning.

fought Sunday on Tea Pot Creek, thirty
miles north of Casper. The second bat
tie was fought at point ten miles
farther north and in wilder country.
The robbers, being closely pressed,
made determined stand behind some
rocks in deep ravine, and when the
posse appeared opened fire at close
range. Sheriff Joe Hazen, of Douglas,
Wyo., fell at the first fire, being shot
through the stomach. The officer was
removed to Casper, where he expired.
The bandits are surrounded by de-
termined posse, and if they are cap
tured they will probably be lynched.

bound mixed train on the central

wrecked mile east OF COTS at 1910

full speed, and the three cars, well
loaded with passengers, toppled over
into slight embankment. The acct
dent came without the slightest warn
ing and number of passengers were
lying doubled up asleep on the cush-

every direction by the sudden over
turning of the coaches, which fortu-
nately tore themselves loose from the
balance of the train. The escape of
everyone from ms tant death is con-
sidered remarkable.

of the Commission.

Auckland. N. L., June s.-AdViees
from Ap:a. Samoa, under date Of May
81, state that Malietoa and Tamasese
have visited the members of the
Samoan commission on board the
United States transport Badger and
Mataafa visited them the following
day. Neither of them was recognized
as king.
Mataafa blamed the Europeans for
the trouble here. The commissioners
informed him that they had power to
establish government with or with
out a king. Mataafa thought the
Samoans should have a king but ex-
pressed willingness to disarm lis fol-
lowers and leave the matter in the
hands of the commission.
The natives are gaining confidence
and are freely submitting their griev-
ances to the commission. The natives
brought here from other islands at the
time of the disturbances will be re-
turned to their homes and al the war
ships will probably leave Samoa at an
early date,

E,iectriety Cuges

According to Dr Triedlander O. wiesbaden. electricity is an antidoJe against stings Of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization produces rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disap- hears. and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent service even if 1t be not applied untG after some time has elapsed, for t re-
 noves the pain and also quickly ye- zuces the swelling. The supposition Is that the poison which the insect has Infected through the skin, is neutral lzed and rendered innocuous by the current. pr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung ny bees and wasps. and has invariably found them successful He naturally believes that similar result would b. obtained in the cases of persons stpng by other insects.

War is savage in it's very nature, and one looks for war among sayages 10 be peculiarly harbarous, IT. such is not always the case among the peo- pie of Samoa Is attested by a letter sent from Samoa by an American gen. tleman who recently visited Apia, and who gives q description Of Mataafaa Ngmy in camp after a battle between claimants to the throne:
 tWs\went all about among the huts where the sayages were resting after the battle and making preparations for the next fight.

REGULAR EXODUS
Or Mo.,atnmedans Has Set In from tn
 Island of Crete.

Or Molammedans Has Set In from the
 Island of Crete.
 A regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it. it is believed that the Porte will soon make q virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island Although large sums of money have been distributed at Can dia among those willing to stay, bee sides free gifts of timber for the rs- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants The news of Prince Georges visit to Candia oniy gave fresh stimulus to tha exodus, and, at latest accounts. the prospect was thar the whole MussuI- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England Of being principally to blame. since she of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. 1t is not denied that England has endeay- ored, in certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but. as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems, 1t is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gem erally admitted that each family is worth considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry, but the Christians, having obtained the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try, so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events. an eff fectiye way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.
