STARRING.

Jack McClelland got the decision over
Solly Smith of New York, at Pittsburg last
night, in the sixth round of a scheduled
fight of twenty rounds. When the referee.
John J. Quinn. made the announcement
that he gave the fight to McClelland on a
foul. it was greeted by mingled Kisses and
cheers by the 1900 spectators.
Some called 1t a fake, but Quinn said
Smith hit McClelland while in clnch.
Smith claimed that he had broken his wrist
in the second round. and one Of his seconds
said the foul was made to end the fight. IL
Smiths wrist was really broken he did
good work later, for in the third round he
ffoored McClelland twice with hard punches
on the Jaw.
The second time down Jack took the full
time limit before getting to his feet. The
contest about an even thing up to the
third round which was decidedly Smiths.
In the fourth McCielland held a shade the
better of it, and in the fifth he held his
own. The fight was stopped shortly after
the sixth round had commenced. The re-
suit every way was a disappointment to

might say, in regard to lifting living per-

in some way due to animal magnetism, but
how about the iron plate? The metal has
a certain fixed gravity, and how that
gravity can be modified or overcome by

WHAT KANSANS DID.
Their Great Achievement at the
Bridge Before Calumpit-

Chicago, April 29.-The Record prints
a special copyright cablegram from
John T. McCutcheon, giving an account
of the Kansans' great achievement in
crossing the Rio Grande. 1t follows:
Manila, April (Midnight)
has witnessed the most brilliant exploit
and the winning of the greatest victory
the Philippines.
The taking of the bridge over the Rio
Grande at Calumpit was a deed OF
astonishing daring. 1t was the most
strongly defended position held by the
insurgents. Located on the north shore
of the Rio Grande, opposite Calumpit,
it is the most valuable strategic point
in Luzon. The fact that it was guarded
by the most trustworthy and best dis
ciplined regiments of General Aguinaldo
made the fact the more noteworthy.
1t was a red-letter day for the Twen-
tieth regiment of Kansas volunteers,
commanded by Colonel Funston. One
hundred and twenty men belonging to
that regiment crossed the river in the
gent Mausers. This torrent of bullets
was augmented by the fusillade of a,
Maxim gun of which the insurgents
have obtained possession.
Colonel Funston with only nine men,
charged the trenches manned by thou
sands of insurgents, discharging their
rifles as they ran up the embankment.
The American artillery the south
shore of the Rio Grande poured shot
and shell into the Filipino stronghold
The rebels were stampeded. They went
to the north toward Bacolor.
Despite the extraordinary risks and
chances taken by the Americans, our
troops suffered very few casualties.
Only one man was killed and the wound
ed do not exceed a dozen. The inSur-
gents lost heavily, fully twenty-five
were killed during the mad charge of
Colonel FunStOn'S men on the trenches.
The bridge where the desperate fight
ing took place is about 100 yards long.
1t extends over the Rio Grande and is
the gateway practically, to the entire
northern portion of the island of Luzon.
All the ties and rails had been removed
from the structure, making it almost
impossible to cross, as the men had to
creep along the iron framework.
AT the further end of the bridge, OPP
posite Calumpit, were the most care
fully constructed and formidable earth
works. They were almost impregnable
They were in the form of Semi-circular
trenches around the approach of the
bridge. These trenches have roofs of
steel rails. These roofs formed splen-
did protection against bursting Shells
and for q time made the work of the
artillery almost futile. These earth
works extended for long distance in
either direction.
Early this morning the Filipinos be-
gan a steady fire from both their in
fantry and artillery. Most of it was di-
rected upon the freight house where
the Sixth artillery gun was stationed.
The Americans. however, returned such
a heavy fire that the insurgents were
obliged to keep beneath the cover of
their earthworkS.
1t was during this fire that Col. Fun
ston and his 120 Kansans performed
the exploit of the day.
They marched down to the river, a
