RAILWAY STATISTICS.
Report Compiled by the Interstate
Commerce Commissiouers.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE report
of railway statistics for the year 1898.
compiled by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and made public to-day,
shows that eleven roads went into the
hands Of receivers, against forty-five
taken out. while the mileage of re-
ceivership roads was reduced by GIG
miles operated and 5,133 miles owned.
There was a decrease in the capital
stock of the roads in receivers hands
of $221 1927 ,239.
The aggregate mileage of railways
on June 80, 1898, was 247, ,532, an in
crease of 4,OSS miles.
The total number of railway COR
porations in the United States was
2,047. The total number of locomo-
tives in service was 36, 234, an increase
of 24S over the previous year. The
total Of railway employees was S74,5oS,
an increase of 51,OS2.
An interesting feature is a wage
summary compiled from over 80 per
cent. of the total employees. There was
paid in wages S495, ,O55, ,61S. an in
crease for the year of $29.454, ,037. This
sum represented 60. 50 per cent. of the
total operating expenses.
The total amount of railway capital
outstanding on June 80, 1898, not in

And Jeffries looks the champion he
is. The great John L. in his palmiest
days could present no better points.
He seemed in the best of condition.
ready to do the work of his life.
: Jeffries was a handy man when he
appeared in this city two years ago,
but he is now a wonder, The four
rounds demonstrated beyond doubt his
remarkable ability to avoid punish
ment and his power to inf1ict. it has
been proven. He is shifty and light
on foot, and his side-stepping and re-
firing would have done credit to Jack
McAuliffe when the, latter was in his
prime.
The exhibition was intended to show
the cleverness, rather than the ag-
gressiveness of the champion, and 1T
succeeded, for after the four rounds
ended the consensus of opinion seemed
to be that Tom Sharkey has no busi-
ness in a ring with him.
The reproduction of the Knockout
blow given Fitzsimmons was quite
realistic, Jack, who is clever boy
himself, having studied his part well.
If the blows reproduced are to be
taken for granted the first consisted
of a left hook on the right jaw, i'm
mediately, and while Fitz was totter-
ing to his fall, followed by a right
swing on the other jaw.
And so came and went Jeffries, cham
pion of the world.

JEFfRIES IN The ARENA.
BIG FELLOW SHOWS WONDER
Full IMPROVEMENT.
Nobody Who Saw Him Last Night
Wonders Why Fitz Was
Wa1loped.

James J. Jeffries, champion Of the
pugilistic- world, with the compl1-
ments of Lanky Bob Fitzsimmons, was
in the city last night, and about I0O
people assembled at the Athletic Clubs
amphitheater to greet him and see him
move in the ring.
And as sauce for the occasion the
Athletic Club had provided for a num-
ber of preliminary bouts between
clever boxers, local and otherwise.
The evenings program was intro
duced by a three-round three-rinute
bout between A. ]. Delano and w. Fl.
Pollard, and after the youngsters had
given their exhibition of lodging, duck
ing and leading, William McGraw and
Louis Payen accommodated. Fayen
was slightly out of condition, and at
the end of the four two minute rounds,
showed signs of weariness owing to
the rapid pace set by McfiraW. Both
boys did clever work in blocking and
leading, and Payen's ducks away from
wicked-looking swings brought him ap-
rlause.
The Pendergast brothers, Jim and
Jack, went six very fast rounds, nix
ing things from the start. They are
remarkably shifty amateurs, look alike,
box alike and are equally clever.
Then followed what was advertised
to be a ten-round go ''fCr blood" be-
tween Mike Wheelihan of Grass VAL
ley and Joe Cotton (coloreO OF Los
Angeles. But those who expected
blood We're sadly mistaken. The bout
was one of the tamest ever seen When
the principals were in earnest. Cot
ton was apparently twenty pounds TO
the good, and acted as though he could
have put Wheelihan out at any stage
of the game had he so desired. The
crowd believed in Cotton's acting, and
when at the end of the tenth round
neither man was in distress, the crowd
hissed.
Wheelihan did all the leading and
had he Cotton's weight he might have
won. The latter, however, was shifty
and hard to touch, and the blows
landed by the mountain kid had no
force. Cotton evidently did not at
tempt to do any work until the ninth
round. but when he did get in motion
he was given as good as he sent. There
were not half-dozen good blows
struck in the bout, however.
Regardless of the fact that young
Wheelihan did all of the work, most
of the leading and the lions share Of
the landing, Referee Will McMorry
gave the fight to Cotton on points
which ones, he failed to state.
Tom Johnson of Marysville and w.
C. Randall of this city were in Cot
tons corner, while Mat Wheelihan,
Tom Mccormick. and William McGraw
waved the towels for Wheelihan.
Then came Jeffries, and the crowd,
which was weary, braced up again.
Jack, the younger brother of the big
fellow. appeared first and posed while
Manager Thall delivered his lecture,
recounting briefly the steps which had
placed the champion on the top of the
heap. With the peroration Jeffries ap-
peared and was greeted with a round

1T WAS CARL BALDWIN.
The Dead Boys Body Identified by
Father and Sister.

The unfortunate youth who lost his
life on the river front few nights
since by falling on the track in an at
tempt to board a moving train, turns
out to have been-as was yesterday
suggested in the "RecOrd-U Union''-Carl
Baldwin, who ran away from his home
at Dos Palos. Merced County, on the
18th of last month.
P. o. Baldwin, the lads father, came
to Sacramento yesterday with his
daughter and they only too quickly
identified the body at the Morgue as
that Of the missing Carl
The deceased, who was but 10 years
of age, left home because he had tired
of hard work on his fathers farm, and
was engaged in beating his way about
the country by boarding railroad trains.
His sad fate has been that of many
boys who imagine there are better
places than the humble farm home.
Even before Mr.. and Miss Baldwin
viewed the remains they had no doubt
about their being those of the missing
boy. The girl identified the little red
testament found on the body as the
one given by her to her brother years
ago. The father, who is about % years
of age, seemed stunned with grief,
while the sister was on the verge of
Mysteries. The aged mother was on
the ranch, near Dos Palos, awaiting
the verdict and father and daughter
seemed to feel deeply for her.
Mr. Baldwin said he could give no
reason why his son should have left
home, except that he had fallen under
the influence of outside parties who
desire to spread discord in the family.
The young lady said her brother had
been under the influence of several per-
sons, particularly of a neighbor boy
of the same age, who knew of his de-
parture, but declined to give any in
formation as to the direction in which
he had gone.
Mr.. Baldwin and daughter leave for
Dos Palos this morning, and will take
with them the remains of the boy.
