 'That the press of the various coun- ties of the territory be authorized and requested to organize into districts for the purpose of securing legal rates for legal advertising and especially for articles of incorporation.
 The second one relates to aspirants to seats in the next legislature and shows candidates one thing they will be against; it reads:
 This association desires to express its feeling of indignation concerning the treatment given the press and printers of Arizona in the Twentieth legislative session. It is therefore re- solved by this association that it's mem- bers support for office no candida whatever his politics, who will not first pledge himself to deal fairly by the press, and who is not in hearty sympathy with the papers of Arizona in their efforts toward the upbuilding of the territory

D'GIERS MAY GO
Russia Grants Permission for Mir. ter
 to Leave Pekin

St. Petersburg, August 1.-The Official Messenger today publishes the following:
 The Foreign Office received a telegram today direct from NJ. DeGiers, the Rus sian Minister at the Chinese capital, from Pekin. The dispatch was evidently taken by special courier to Tsi Nan from the hospital at Shan Tung and was thence telegraphed August by the local Yamen. M. DeGiers announces that the siege of the Legations continues, the besieged still having some provisions left. The Chinese government proposes to transmit the Min isters' messages and that they leave Pe- kin. As the Ministers had not sufficient guarantee they replied that they must re- ceive the permission of their govern ments before leaving the city.
 The Messenger then announces that the Czar's approval has been given for M. De- Giers to start for Tien Tsin with his en- tire staff and the marine guard on condi- tion that the existing government at Pe- kin and the Emperor afforded the sure guarantee that the journey can be under taken without danger At the same time M. DeGiers is expected to call attention to the heavy responsibility the Chinese government will incur should there be the slightest infracton of the volatility of the persons accompanying them to Tien Tsin.

LONG ISLAND TENNIS
Brought to Close With English and
 American Matches

New York, August 1.-The revival of the Long Island Lawn Tennis Championship Tournament at Southampton was brought to closethis afternoon on the courts of the Meadow Club with the series of Eng lish-American matches. Two matches were played in the singles and one in the doubles w. A. Gore, the English expert, won his contest over Richard Stevens in the other two matches. w. A. Tard won over Ed Black in the singles, and Robert Wren and Ollie E. Campbell won in the doubles over Gore and Black, who were paired for this event. Stevens went down hard before the fast play of Gore The American could not stand against the powerful force of the Englishmans long, hard drives. In the two sets of the match Stevens was only able to earn nine of his points. On the other hand, Gore earned 20 points by clever placing and passes.
 Larned, the veteran American, performed brilliantly against Black. He defeated the English crack in straight sets and though the play was close in the last set, Larned pulled out because of his superior style and accuracy. The peculiar feature of the contest was that both players earned ex- actly 17 points of their scores. The team work of Gore and Black in the doubles was very ragged They are not used to playing together, and their poor showing against Wrenn and Campbell is due to this. The Englishman volleyed well at the net and in nearly every game the points went to deuce and vantage. The smashing of Wrenn and Campbells clever passes along the alley of the opposing court was well done and proved the undoing of the Brit ons. Summary:
 English-American Singles-A w. Gore beat Richard Stevens, 6-1; 6-1. W. A. Larned beat Ed Black, 6-1; 6-3
 English-American Doubes-R. D. Wrenn and Ollie Campbell beat A. w. Gore and Ed Black, GA; GA.

TRAINING THE COLT

tice to Shar1ey to declare the present match off between him and the sailor, l will then make a somewhat novel proposi- tion. I will fight both FitZsimmons and Sharkey before September 1, Fitzsimmons first, on or about August 25 and Sharkey on August 31. This offer Is made with the view of giving Fitzsimmons the chance he claims he wants to take the champion ship, and not to do Sharkey any wrong by shutting him out of his chance to do bat tie for the title. If by Tuesday I have re- ceived no favorable answer from Fitzsim- mons 1 shall discontinue training and re- fuse to meet anyone until about June, 1901.
 If Fitzsimmons shall beat me on August 25 1 will waive my match with Sharkey to him, and in this way it can be very pleas antly shown who is the champion"
 J. C. Kennedy, manager of the Twenti- eth Century Athletic Club, said he thought Jeffries proposition was spectacular and impracticable; that if Fitzsmmons and Sharkey broke their match to meet him there would be scramble as to who should come first. He said he was not anX- ious to secure the matches if they were made for the guarantee, for they would involve large outlays of advertising, etc, and if the second fight failed to come off the club would lose a large amount of money.
 When told of the statement made by Jeffries that he would like to arrange a fight with Fitzsimmons and Sharkey, Fitz- simmons said tonight: "Jeffries is the one in the world I would like to meet and beat. I fought him when he was but a fourth class man. Luck was his way at the tune ard he whipped me. I should like very much 10 accommodate Jeffries with fight, and feel confident that it would be quite possible before September 1 l have posted s2 800 to meet Tom Sharkey on the night of Auugst 25 Next Tuesday 1t will be decided before which club we meet I feel confident of beating Sharkey and if I come out of the fight as clean as did in my fight with Ruhlin, I shall be pleased to meet Jeffries before September in this city, allowing him to dictate terms, he to take 65 per cent win OF lose. if he is afraid to meet me on basis of the winner to take all I know I can beat him."

RUHLIN BADLY DONE

Collapsed After Big Battle But
 Rallied Shortly.
WILD RUMORS WERE AFl0AT
Barring Slight Bruises Fitzsimmons is Uninjured-J fries Anxious to Fight Lanky Bob and Tom Sharkey-
 The Sailor Issues Challenge

New York, August 11.-With his face bruised and dscolored, his right eye al- most closed and his nose fattened out, Gus Ruhlin walked about his training quarters at Bay Ridge today wondering how it all happened. He appeared quite weak. In spite of his appearance Ruhlin said he felt all right, and expressed de- sire for another bout with F.tzsimmons
 Although Ruhlin was well enough to move about unassisted, it looked for time early today as if the punishment inflicted by Fitzsimmons Friday night would re- suit seriously.
 After leaving the Garden Ruhlin was taken to a Turkish bath house where he became unconscious from loss of blood, and the extreme heat. His condition for time seemed critical and Dr. Lombard worked hard for several hours before he succeeded in reviving him.
 Ruhlin's collapse in the bathing estab lishment gave rife to many sensational rumors. One of these was that he had died of the injuries received in the fight. Although it is true that Ruhin was very i'll for several hours, his life was never despaired of. He came around in good shape about o'clock this morning and left for the home of his manager, Billy Mad den, at Albany Ridge. There he spent the day explaining his defeat to several admirers who called up.
 Fitzsimmons Uninjured
 Barring slight bruises over the left eye. Fitzsimmons looked none the worse for the blows delivered by Ruhlin. After the bat tie he went to the Bartholdi Hotel, where he met his wife. Fitzsimmons arose ee-:y today in good spirits and remarked to group of friends who had called at the ho- tel to congratulate him on his victory that he was a long way from "has been."
 Champion Jeffries today issued an open letter. in which he said he is anxious to give Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey each another chance for the championship belt before September l, and states that he pro- poses to do it with Ruhlin, who was the local candidate for a championship battle, out of the way, four men are left who might want a battle with Jeffries-Fitz- simmons, Sharkey, Corbett and Mccoy. All of these are matched, their money is posted and not one of them would allow the other to break his engagement and fight the champion.
 Jeffries, in his letter, says that when he fought Fitzsimmons the latters manager forced him to give Fitzsimmons 65 per cent. of the purse. Since, he says, he held that he is entitled to a similar division, if he agreed to meet him again. In his letter he says:
 JeffrIes' Challenge
 ''If Fitzsimmons will meet me before September 1, I will agree that the winner take all, or that the purse be divided 75 per cent. to the winner and 25 per cent. to theloser.

THIRTY PERSONS
 DIED FROM HEAT New YOrks Terrible Death Re-
 cord for One Day. TIE SUFFERING WAS INTENSE Many Deaths Reported from Other Northern Cities. LITTLE RELIEF EXPECTED TODAY 
 Hottest Continuous Weather New York Ever Experienced-Hea Record of 1896 is Surpassed-Coo e Resorts All Crowded
LITTLE RELIEF EXPECTED TODAY

New York, August u-Thirty persons died in this city and vicinity today from heat prostrations and three children from falling from fire-escapes on which they had crowded to get relief from the heat Since August 6, when the temperature was 9l degrees the conditions have been grow ing worse. All in all, 1t is the hottest continuous weather New York ever experi- enced. The local forecaster said that it surpassed the heat record of 1896. The thermometer reached 90 at ? D. m., and registered the same figures an hour later. This was the official record in the bureau, high above the streets, and is several de- grees cooler than the temperature on the streets.
 While 95 was reached on the Sth and 9th days of August, there was a higher range today and the thermometer hardly way cred below the highest figures for many hours.
 Death after death resulted. The fact that il was half holiday, many escaped the heat of offices and factories. Before noon there was an exodus from Lower Manhat- tan. Thousands hurried to the nearest cars and boats for the seashore. Ths sound steamers had sold out all their berths early in the day and tonight many passengers were forced to sleep mat tresses in the cabins.
 Cooling Resorts Crowded
 The streets leading to cooling resorts were crowded and expressmen were overs whelmed with baggage. It was the busi- est day of the week. But the million or two left behind in the city were obliged to suffer. The recreation piers were pack ed, but they gave very little relief The keeper of an East River pier said that the thermometer there had registered 1O2 dur ing the day and that at 7:3O this evening it was 92. Not rustic of a breeze could be detected.
 Within four duys during which the heat has been oppressive there has been an dispensary alone, the ages of the children ranging from five months to two years
 The outdoor poor department was over- taxed also, there being 25 applicants a day from mothers to have their children taken to Randalls Island.
 There was more humidity in the atmos- phere today than on the previous day, 1t registering 53 per cent early in the morn- ing and advancing during the day.
 The suffering among animals was plain ly evident. Many horses fell, some to die, others to stagger to their feet and go weakly on. Fire Chief Croker's orders that hose should be on tap in front of all fire engine houses saved many horses from sunstroke.

THE BIDS FOR ARMOR PLATE
 REJECTED BY DEPARTMENT

Washington, August 1.-The Navy De- partment this afternoon decided to reject the bids for armor plate presented by the Bethlehem Company, the Carnegie Com pany and the Midvale Company It is stated at the department that this does not mean that the alternative plan for erecting a government armor plate factory will be adopted, although the Secretary of the Navy has at his disposal s4,000,00O with which to start such plant. New adver-

tisements for bids will be issued as soon as possible
 The reason assigned for the rejection of the bids Is the demand from all the bid- ders for too large a proportion of the en- tire amount of armor plate. The lowest bidder, the Midvale Steel Company, would not accept less. than 10000 tons of the S6 900 to be contracted for. The Bethlehem and Carnegie Companies were both higher in their figfiures, and insisted on having the whole amount of armor divided between them on equal terms tt...... .,,,.
