OF the death ofthe sanity and beloved

One Of these, who is In a position to
know something of what was done In
Mr.. Bland's behalf In 1896, had this to
say concerning the part taken by Mr..
Stone, who at that time, was CHIEF
executive Of the State:
"Mr. Bland has never shared in the
views expressed by Republicans that
bis interests suffered at Chicago as
the result of treachery on the part OF
supposed friends from his own State.
Gov. Stone has in his possession let
ters from Mr.. Bland in which the
writer expressed his most sincere
thanks for the fidelity OF the Missou-
riaus and his entire satisfaction with
the matter in which they managed
his campaign. Gov. Stone is thanked
personally In one these letter.
"No man worked harder at Chicago
for Mr.. Bland than Gov. Stone. Not
only did he give ais own money free
ly to defray campaign expenses, but
IL was through bis influence and close
friends that all the campaign funds
were raised. The Governor took a
personal interest in this matter, and
was among the heaviest contributors
himself At Chicago he appeared be-
fore nearly all the southern deIega-
|tions and several from the western
states, and madea personal appeal for
support for Mr.. Bland"

.JEFFRIES THE VICTOR.
THE CALIFORNIAN WINS THE
BATTLE IN ELEVEN HARD
FOUGHT ROUNDS.
KNOCKED FTTZ. COMPLETELY OUT.
The Old Champion Was as Game as
a Tiger, But Jefries Was Too
Much For Him 1T Was
Stubborn Contest.

WEST BRIGHTON, CoEEY ISLAND,
June s.-Before a throug Of specta-
tors who crowded the great pavilion
Of the Coney leland Sporting Club to
to it's capacity, james JeifrIes to- might
defeated Robert Fitzsimmons in
eleven rounds, and a new heavy
weight champion was made.
The fight was the fastest ever seen
between heavyweights, and the slug
ging was Of the most terrific charac-
ter. The blow which took from Fitz-
simmons his laurels as champion
pugilist OF the world came after his
ponderous adversary had received
considerable punishment. In all re-
spects Jeffries was a great surprise.
He showed cleverness, excellent ring
generalship and was game to the bone.
When the eleventh round began, which
proved to be the fatal one for Fitz-
simmons, the Cornishman came out
Of his corner like q bulldog. He had
come back again after severe punish
ment and was strong. He rushed at
once and put in heavy blow, Jeffries
catching him on the neck with left
Fitz hustled him again, and Jeffries
caught him over the heart with right.
Jeffries put two lefts in solid to the
to tire. His legs were shaking - tris1-.,,
but he blocked the big fellows swings
and tried again with q desperate right.
Jeffries' left worked rapidly upon
Fitz's mouth, and he whipped in the
blows so tiercely that Fitz was clearly
tired. Jeffries appreciated the situa-
alton at once. He saw the chance OF
bis lifetime. Before him was the
champion, who was overmatched.
Jeffries rushed with all his strength
and vigor. His great left hand twice
swung swiftly to Bob's jaw. Both
blows were like mallets. Fitz stood
stock still moment until the Califor-
nian landed his left again. Then he
began to wobble. Jeifries was blazing
with excitement. 1t was the last
straw, and with a right, which was well
aimed and had terrific amount OF
power behind it, he caught Fitzsim-
mons squarely on the point of the jaw.
This blow won the heavyweight
championship OF the world, for Fitz
fell over backward, and his head
struck the floor with a crash. He
rolled about convulsively for a mo-
ment, and then lay prone upon his
back insensible.
In the ninth round the tide OF for-
tune turned toward the young Call
fornia giant and Jeffries showed him
self the fastest heavyweight that
ever entered ring.
