FITZ Is ANGRY.
Declares Jefries is a Coward and
Afraid to Meet Him.

New York, Aug. III. J. Jeffries' re-
fusal to meet the winner of the Sharkey-
Fitzsimmons bout on August % has
caused the Australian to issue a state
ment in which he threatens to claim the
championship by default if successful
In his coming encounter. In this state
ment Fitz says:
IT see that Jeffries has crawIed out
of the responsibility of meeting me in
the ring again. On Tuesday, Mr.. Brady
waiting until sharkey and myself We're
matched for August "a, challenged the
winner to meet Jeffries August 81. I
promptly accepted the opportunity,
providing / was fortunate enough to de-
feat Sharkey.
THE matter was settled then and
there. Now this great champion of the
world can't devote ten days to training
for the prospect of establishing beyond
question his right to the title and earn
ing about $25, OO0
The truth of the matter is that JEFF
fries is afraid to meet me again. I have
accepted every offer he ever made for
return match, and yet he has made
silly excuse to get out of the match 1
hereby give Jeffries notice that having
accepted his challenge, in the event of
winning from Sharkey, 1 shall claim
the championship of the world, and 1
believe the public will sustain my claim
and recognize me as the real cham
pion.''
When William A Brady, the cham
pion's manager, was shown Fitzsim-
mons statement, he said:
Fitzsimmons will have to defeat
Sharkey we will not consider any
match with him. +Jeffries knocked him
out once, and thereti is no reason why he
should fight again with him. Jeffries,
however, to show that he is the real
champion, will fight F'itzsimmons if he
wins from the sailor. but there is one
condition that 1 will insist upon and
that is that the winner shall take the
entire purse. He will not split the purse
as Fitzsimmons suggested to me the

DEMOCRAT FLOPS.
Kansas Makes Up For Loss of mr.
Boutwell,.

Mr.. Boutwell, of Massachusetts yester-
day Topped to Bryan. The loss of this
vote is offset in Kansas by Frank L.
Stanton, ex-mayor of Clifton, who has
Topped from Bryan to Mckinley. Stan
ton says:
I'VE were told four years ago by the
representatives of the Democratic party
that if the Republican party was sue
cessful at the election the country would
be ruined; that there was not money
enough to do the business of the coun-
try. When the country asked for the in
PREVENTION in Cuba the president was
conservative and careful to weigh the
matter carefully before declaring war.
But after war was declared, some of the
parties who cried the loudest for inter-
vention were the ones to criticise the
administration for every mistake that
was made. I believe in expansion to the
extent of holding the Philippine islands
and am in favor of a protective tariff L
believe the administration is doing all it
can for the country as a whole and am
willing to trust the country in the Re-
publican party's hands for another four
years.

HE TALKS TOO MUCH.
That is the Opinion of German News
papers About Waldersee.

Berlin, Aug. 17.-This morning Count
Won Waldersee, accompanied by the
Countess and by Vice Admiral Won
Waldersee, his brother, visited the
United States embassy and asked John
B. Jackson, secretary. of the embassy,
to present his best compliments to
President Mckinley Thursday morning.
He spoke in the highest terms of the
American troops, saying;
Il know what they can do, and will
consider it a great honor to have such
gallant soldiers under my command.
Before leaving Hanover yesterday he
made a speech to the workingmen' s
Dedertafel, saying that he hoped to
finish his task and return soon to Han
over In his response to the address OF
the municipal deputation he said:
with trust in God and in the firm,
cheerful courage of my troops, I hope
to carry out the plans and to overcome
all difficulties"
The press points out that Count Won
Waldersee is talking too much. and ad-
vises him to talk less. The Kolnische
VolkS Zeitung bids him follow
Moltke's example and talk with the
sword
Several journals have dubbed him
Felt Marshal"
In the course of a conversation at the
office of the general staff today he said:
1.-THE general situation for the allies
is unfavorable, even If Pelzin is taken
or is about to be taken, since the allies
are everywhere on the defensive ex-
cept in this advance upon Pelxin. 1t is
necessary to adopt the strategica1 Of
fensive throughout China
His idea seems to be to have the allies
act in conjunction with the Russian
forces in the provinces of Kirin and
Scheng King, by way of Mukden.
Count Won Waldersee will leave at
noon tomorrow for Cassel, where fare
well festivities will be held on Satur-
day. These will consist of q military
parade and a banquet to be attended
by number of generals. The banquet
will also take the form of a celebration
of the SEVENTEEN birthday of Emperor
Franz Joseph.
The Protestant mission house here
has received a Canton cable saying that
the missions at Tchi Chin, Namon and
LUX Hang have been destroyed. The
first was in the northern part of the
province of Quang Tong, and the third
in the southern part.

allies will not attempt to hold Pekin,
but will retire Immediately with hthe
