Bull and Boar.

are clamoring for something in the
Boer and Briton line. The Baton

to work at once and evolved the fol-
lowing which contains more truth
than poetry:

Economy at the Worlds Exposition
Ferdinand W. Peck, commissioner gen.

Both Men Resting.

New York. Oct. 31.--Reports received
from Asbury Park, M. D., are to the ef-
feet that James y. Jeffries, the cham
pion pusllist. is now resting somewhat
from the hard work Of training and is
conterting himself with moderate work.
He is apparently in fine condition. Thorn

enter the ring and could rave gone on last

and looks and acts as if he had not the
slightest fear of the outcome Of his bout
With Jeffries on Friday night. He did
his indoor work Monday morning and
took to the road in the afternoon. This
was partly to avoid the curious who con-
gregate to see him lope along the road
in his regular morning practice. He is
now in perfect condition and his work
from now on will be limited to keeping
himself 50. On Thursday he may do a
little harder work ano bring himself
closer to edge. He is apparently in no
danger Of going stale, plenty of laeway
being allowed by his handlers.

London, Oct. 31.-Iesterday's engage

rather as an extended reconnaissance or
skirmish than a battle, seems to make
little change in the actual position. 1t is
disappointing to the British experts to
see the Beers displaying such tactical

New York, Oct. 31.-A dispatch to the
World from Lolldo says: Senior An
tonic Regidor de Jurado. who, it is be-
lieved, is to act as Aguinaldo's envoy for
the purpose of presenting peace terms to
the authorities id Washington, arrived
here today from Madrid. To a World
correspondent he declared that one of
his missions to the American capital was
to lay the grievances of the secular
priests in the Philippines against the
friars before the Washington govern
ment.
The ~frials," he said, 'have placed
themselves under the protection of Gen
eral Otis and are appropriating the prop
erty of secular priesthood. | am also
asked by an influential committee Of
! bankers and merchants in Manila to use
any available opportunities while at
Washington to sound your government
as to the best terms of peace"
When asked the direct question
! whether or not he was specially accredit-
ed by Aguinaldo, Senior Regidor diplo-
/ matically replied that he might be 50 ac-
credited before he started for Washing
ton. which would be in the latter part of
November.

The most prominent bank ing and

the other leading citizens and bushes s
men of the city across the bridge this
afternoon in sending to Presi dent Diaz
a lengthy telegram asking that he
make the race for reelecti on, and as
suring him of the practically unani-

Juarez and the northern part of Chi
huahua.
The movement, inaugurated by DR..
N. M. Samaniego and Collector OgRr-
rio, Is similar to others of like nature
all over the republic lookirg to the re-
tention of President Uiaz. There is
nothing of psrtisanship in all this. 1t
is merely the desire of the business
men of Mexico tolipsure, by the con-
tinued administr ation of the president,
continued prosperity.
"President Disz" said q prominent
Mexican merchant, sis really thinking
seriously of retiring simply to show the
world that the Mexican Republic is
stable and strong enough to exist
without his name as the official head.
We want to persuade him to remain as
our president"
