FlTZ THE
FIGHTING
MACHINE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 8.-Charley White,
one of the most capable and popular
referees that ever stepped into a ring,
and who has been identified with pugil-
ism for many years, having trained and
handled such men as Bob FitZsimmOns,
Jim Corbett. Kid Mccoy and Tommy
Ryan, had this to say to-day regarding
the abilities of Fitzsimmons and JEFF
fries:
In my opinion Fitzsimmons is one of
the marvels Of the fighting world and has
no peer as an athlete in that particular
line. He has an advantage which no other
fighter possesses, chat Of having his
weight above the hips He carries his
driving power directly behind his Shout
der blades, which is the secret of his great
hitting He has, with his great length of
reach a remarkable forearm, two of the
best hands ever given TO a fighter and an
extraordinary knowledge of how to use
them He can deliver a blow from any
position of his body. He has a variety
Of blows which. delivered from any posi-
ticn are Knockout ones if landed. He is
the most tricky man With his feet and his
legs which are small Fitz is also cool,
calculating fighter and has an active
brain. He can see advantages quicker
than most men can, and he has the knack
do few rounds later. such as some little
feint or sidestep. which is only "feeler''
for heavy fusillade of blows later on.
He never becomes disheartened, never
takes his eyes off his opponent while in
the ring, and is alway weaving in and out
looking for an opportunity to get in
Knockout blow.
Jeffries is an unknown quality in the
pugilistic world to-day. The critics are ali
at sea as to his abilities. He is just the
man to have a great chance to become the
next champion. On account of his i'm
n.ense bulk of weight. people would natur-
ally think he was slow. On the contrary
he is a remarkably fast man for one of
lis build and physique. He is really no
novice, and he has had considerable ex-
perience. having secured victories over
Joe Goddard and Peter Jackson. Any man
that can fight Tom Sharkey for twenty
rounds must be a great fighter. He is ten
years younger than the champion, has an
advantage of forty pounds in weight and
advantages to any man would be of big
berefit to him If they can be used prop
erly. He is thoroughly game, and should
be able to stand a great amount Of pun
ishment.
Jeffries' showing at the Lenox Athletic
Club with Bob Armstrong should not be
taken as a criterion of his form. / have
seen him work better while helping to
train Corbett at Carson City. He has ar
immense amount of strength, which will
be a great help to him in this fight If he
has improved any ii will make him a very
dangerous opponent, but he must have
speed He has been carefully coached and
trained and can be depended on to go into
the ring In the best possible condition.
Jeffries in order to win will have to use
ell the advantages ne has at his COM
mand.

Gen. Wheeler Snubbed.

Gen. Joe Wheeler, who for Il time
jumped about tho country footing the
praise of Mckinley policy of imperial
ism. has been 5nubbed in the Philip
pines by Gen. Otis and, according to
cable adviccs from Hong Kong, he
wishes to b" ordered back home. 1t
Will be remembered that G. en-. Wheeler
was very anxious to take the field in
the Philippines, and finally his impor-
tuning resulted in the President in
structing him t0 proceed to Manila and
report to Major Gen. Otis. The press
had much to sny about the good work
Gen. Wheeler would do when he tool.
the field against the Filipinos. 1t was
generally understood from the Wash
ingtOn dispatches that Wheeler would
be given the command OF Funston's
brigade and participate in the active
operations of Lawton and Macarthur
as soon as the dry season commenced.
1t appears, however, that upon his ar
rival at Manila he met with chilling
reception. There was no field band at
the landing place to hail his coming
with martial music, but, on the con-
trary, Gen. Otis exhibited the marble
heart and extended the icy hand: in
other words, he was, to use language
or diplomacy, persona non grata to the
entire military outfit at Manila and
was treated rs an interlOpcr.
Gen. Wheeler for weeks wanted to be
assigned to a command, and ut last,
growing impatient, he called on Gen.
Otis IN order to ascertain where he
was at" He then learned that he had
been billed for the command of little
and lonely island of the archifclago
situated far from the madding crowds

against being snutfcd out in such a
manner, but the man who sllavcs his

ippines that he would not be given 1.
show, for the reason that he would be
i'll the way Of the gular army men,
and they would resent his coming to
! Manila
Gen. Wheeler WAS I'LL right so long
RS he travelled frcm ono city to another
/ making speeches in favor OF McKinlcy's
Philippine policy and imperialism, but
the moment he sought Il command in
the Philippine army he began to bore
the President. The desire OF Wheeler
to distinguish himself made him per-
+ persistent. and finally the President
sent him to t:" Philippines, knowing
| full well that Gen. Otis would find q
! way TO smother him. The treatment
i Gen. Wheeler has received will arouse
/ considerable Indignation, because the
country is well aware Of the fact that
as soldier he is the superior OF Otis in
every respect, and the equal. il not the
! superior, of Lawton ard MacArthur.-

we be uniaIlhiuI to each other as men
and wives, our sons and daughters will
be unfaithful to their companions
when they go out in life And let me
further remind you that the men aud
women who are to make up the negro
race for the future will be lust what
our homes are now. For there is
nothing surer than whatsoever the

know that. But judging from what
may be sccu at many of our public
gatherings, it is safe TO say that we
have in our race some rough hunnies.

there arc some tough cases in that

some young white men cut up. They
have the money to employ lawyers,

the negro settles his in chains on some
