FITz EXPECTED TO WIN.
The Ex-Champion Talks of His I'm
fortunate Fight.

Robert Fitzsimmons said:
Il fully expected to win, but I did
not. Jeffries won because he was the
best man. I could not believe that he
had improved so much. He is young.
strong. quick and clever ! have no
excuse to make on the score of condi-
ton and over-confidence. / was in
perfect trim, better than 1 really ever
was before, and / fought the best 1
could Whereas, / fully expected to
win, l did not hold my man cheap
That is something l was never guilty
of. Jeffries is now the champion Of
the world beyond question, and is en-
titled to all the praise that may be
showered upon him. He won the title
fairly and squarely, and he now has a
chance to make great deal of money
Let him go ahead and get it, and l. for
one, will not modest him for the pres
ent. OF course, / may challenge him,
but it was all so sudden that | have
not had time to decide just what l will
do. 1t is not improbable that 1 will
ask him for another chance"
James J. Corbett said:
1T proved just as l predicted. When
Jeffries was my sparring partner at
Carson at the time 1 prepared for my
fight with FitZsimmons, / knew that
he had it in him, though he was then
immature. Fitzsimmons would not
fight me. but in Jeffries / got the man
who ] knew could defeat him. Jeffries
was never in danger. When l went to
his room before the battle l told him
to go in and fight as soon as the gong
rang. l told him if Fitzsimmons would
not fight in the first round, to go at
him. He did it. In the third round
he had Fitzsimmons going.
1T was a splendid battle, and Jeff
ries did the fighting. This proves what
I have always said-that a good boxer
with a good left hand could defeat
Fitzsimmons. Jeffries possesses all
the qualities of a great boxer. He is
competent to defend his proud title
against any fighter on earth. He does
not lack ring science nor generalship
The fight showed he was quicker than
FitzsimmOrs"

SUNDAY CLOSING SEEMS SURE
ORDINANCE ON THE SUBJECT To
GO TO CITY COUNCIL.
Clerks Union and Federated Trades
men Determined to Shut Up Cloth
ing and Furnishing Stores.

Through the efforts of the Retail
Clerks association it seems quite GER
tain at last that a stop is to be made
TO the practice OF keeping open on
Sundays places of business which are
not resorts of convenience or necessity
to the public. The larger and repre-
sentative business houses close on Sun
days, and not little clubbing has
been INDUCED in on the point as to
whether the state law or a city ordi-
nance should regulate the matter COM
planned about
A meeting of the city council COM
nIittee on license was held yesterday
afternoon TO consider Councilman Rob
ertson's draft OF an ordinance TO pro-
hibit transaction OF unnecessary bust
ness on the day of rest. The proposed
ordinance was supported by the clerks
union and endorsed also by the Fed
Grated Trades. After some discussion,
a few slight notifications were made
in the bill. and finally substitute
draft was agreed upon and will be pre-
scented to the council with a recon-
mendation for its passage. There is
little reason to doubt that il will pass
and receive executive approval with
out delay.
BY the proposed ordinance. all places
of general business, except cigar
stands and bakery and confectionery
shops. must remain closed during the
Sabbath The statute permits restau-
rants, hotels and drug stores to remain
open on Sundays. but requires saloons
to be shut up tight. The proposed or
dinance aims particularly at clothing
and furnishing goods stores.

ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Review of Transactions In the Mar
ket For the Past Week.

New York, June 9.-Bradstreet's fl
nancial review tomorrow will say:
At the beginning of the week the
market showed a disposition to con-
tinue its dull sagSing tendency. The
announcement of further shipments
was calculated to support this belief.
and with the absence of any public
buying, led the professional traders to
act on the short side of the account.
There was, however, less evidence of
liquidation and the money market
failed to show anw trepidation on ac-
count of the gold shipments which for
the past ten days reached the total of
81, SOC, 900. The large gold holdings of
both the bank and the treasury with
sence of any exceptional demands at
present, robs the specific movement of
its usual effect. 1t also clearly is re-
ported that at the present rates of ex-
change some European interest gen.
orally thought to be the Bank of Eng
land itself has put premium upon
gold consignments, TO produce an arti-
fetal flow from this country.
There was a -steadier tone in Tues
days trading and Wednesday yielded
two incidents. for the time being at
least. to check the temper of the specu-
lation. One of those was the declara-
ton of the regular per cent quarterly
dividend in the American Sugar COM
panys common stock, matter about
which the street had indulged in MORE
or less doubts for a full month. The
other was the declaration of IL per
cent semi-annual dividend on Atchi-
son preferred with the announcement
that the earnings of the road in the
fiscal year ending June 80, would also
provide for another haif-yearly divi-
dend of the same amount next Janu-
airy. Covering, not only in the stocks
just named. but in other parts of the
list at once ensued and some fresh tGy-
ing was attracted.
The upward movement continued on
Thursday. The steel stocks, in spite of
some irregularity in American Steel &
Wire, were generally higher and the
strength of the market on the whole
seemed to center in the portions of the
list which had been the object of the
principal bearish pressure. London
took but small part in the trading
here.
The bond market continued very

Huntington May Decide to Buy the
Western.
ANOTHER COAST LINE
UTAH & PACIFIC ALARMS THE
MONOPOLY.
Predicted That the Southern Pacific
VIII Not Give Up the Southern
California Traffic Without a
Struggle-Old Bluff Will Not
Work TINS Time.

In connection with President Nc
Cule's announcement that the Utah &
Pacific would build through to southern
California, prominent railroad man
predicted yesterday that if the Utah &
Pacific builds to California some sur
prises will be ssFung on the public.
Southern CalifoE5fa, he said, is re-
garded by the Southern Pacific as a
piece of its best paying territory and it
is not likely that that company will
remain idle while someone else gets in
and secures the traffic Ii is an open
secret that the Southern Pacific has
had its eyes on the Rio Grande Western
for some time and it is asserted that
it would not require much of AN effort
on Mr.. Huntington's part TO secure
control OF the latter road.
Two parties of Southern Pacific sur
veyors are at work running a line from
Mojaye, in southern California, to the
southern terminus of the Rio Grande
Western and it is predicted that if the
Utah & Pacific extends, the Southern
Pacific viii Immediately secure control
of the Rio Grande Western and build
to Mojave, thus giving Mr.. Hunting
ton a through and direct road into
Denver.
In connection with this subject it is
a significant fact that Mr.. Speyer, the
New York banker and the financial
head of the reorganiZed Central Pa
cific, recently made an extended trip
over the Rio Grande Western in COM
pany with Superintendent Welby of the
Western and W. Z. Sharp, manager of
the Pleasant Valley Coal company, and
that he was closely followed by c. p.
Huntington, president of the Southern
Pacific, who took the same trip and
was shown over the road by the same
officials.
In times past many plans have been
made to build railroad to California,
as the Utah & Pacific is now doing,
but every project in that direction has
been nipped in the bud by the Southern
Pacific sending out surveying party.
As the hackers of those projects de-
pended upon the sale of bonds to build
their roads, the Southern Pacific bluff
worked successfully in every instance,
but now that company has a road to
face that cannot be hluffed, as it does
not depend on bonds for the building of
the road.
These facts are regarded by local
railway authorities as of considerable
significance. and all await with inter
est the next move in the great game.

DEVASTATED BY WATER
Further Reports of the Great Colo
RADIO River Flood.

Austin. Tex, June Authorization
tonight from the food.stricken district
along the Colorado river to the north
west of this city. fully confirms former
reports Of loss of life and property. All
telegraph and telephone wires are
Frustrated, while great tracts of wheat
and corn have been devastated by the
waters. Several people are known to
have persisted, and many more are I'M
accounted for at present.
Tonight's report says the river rose
so rapidly at San Saba that farmers
and people living in the lowlands were
unable to make their escape. H. P.
Wells. prominent farmer living a few
miles north of the city, in attempting
to rescue his family lost two daughters
and barely succeeded in saving his own
life and that of his wife and one small
child The body of one of the daugh-
ters, Lydia, was recovered today, hang
ing to the top of a tree.
During the day something like 100
people who had been swept away in
the first furry of the flood were res
cued by means of volunteer parties in
boats from their perilous positions in
tree tops. There are quite a number
unaccounted for, and it may be they
have been drowned. Searching parties
are still out looking for them.
The wheat crop was swept away by
the flood, entailing a loss of thousands
of dollars. Cattle, horses and hogs
were drowned by the hundreds. From
all reports received from below San
Saba, the entire country has been
laid waste. and the loss from the flood
is beyond accurate estimate at this
time, though ii is thought to be in the
of 100000. Tonight the
water is receding very rapidly and it is
believed the worst is over.
During the flood of today a large
of houses were swept away.
Many that withstood the flood are I'M
der water and their contents are
wrecked. There was no direct news
from Manardville during the day. but
indirect information from Llano says
the town was badly devastated by the
flood. A number of negroes are miss
ing, and it is presumed they have been
drowned

SULLIVAN PREDICTED IT.
Says All Americans Should Rejoice
at the Result.

Canton, o., June 9.-John L. Sullivan
tonight said:
1T was just as l predicted. Jim
Jeffries, the California giant, is the
champion pugilist OF the world. / never
was in doubt of the result. / did not
see how he could lose. 1 have seen
both men in the ring, and know that
Jim Jeffries is one of the greatest fight
ers that ever lived.
All Americans should rejoice at his
victory. He is an American, and we
have needed an American champion.
Besides, he is young and able to de-
fend the glorious title for many years
to come. From my account of to-
nights encounter. the crowd got the
worth of their money. 1 hardly thought
it would last so long.
But Jeffries took my advice. He
played a waiting game without losing
any chances. He figured out FitZsim-
mons in the first few rounds. then
started in to worry him with that ter
rible left of his.
It's all over, and I'm glad F'itzsim-
mons was licked. Let us all rejoice
that man born in Yankeeiand is the
greatest fighter in the world, and he is
fighter that will meet all corners
without clubbing. And he'll give them
all the same dose he gave Fitzsimmons
tonight or l miss my guess

opinion of the result, Julian replied:
"Oh, there is very little for me to
say. Everybody knows that Bob is
game, and / feel certain that he still
has a warm place in the hearts of
many. No matter what comes or goes.
Bob need not worry about anything as
long as l live. He is my friend and l
am his. He shall never want for any
thing. and while l feel his downfall
most keenly, have the satisfaction of
knowing that he was beaten by a clev-
er young fellow with a decided pull in
the weights, who showed such clever
ness that the sting of defeat is soft

His Crestfallen Friend.
Yank Kenney, the heavyweight
sparring partner who has been with
Fitzsimmons all through his training,
was crestfallen at the turn affairs had
taken.
Il did not look for such a result"
he said. Bob was in excellent shape,
and the quick manner in which he re-
cuperated from his knockdowns in the
tenth round proved that he was in fine
form. Jeffries was d surprise to me,
and his quick movements with both
of us who had seen his previous per-
formances."
Jack Everhardt was equally down.
cast at the defeat of Fitzsimmons.

have improved so vastly. Bob was up
against a big handicap in regard to
weight, and l think he acquitted him.
