ment that certain lady had been
gazetted to the post of imperial con-
sort. It is now universally recognized
that by the enormous influence of i'm
perial example, not only has the mar
riage rite been far more sacred than
before but also an immense gain to the
cause of public morality has been as
sured and the position of woman raised
to a height never before known in an
Oriental country.
Among the many honors bestowed on
the occasion of the imperial wedding
there are two which will specially in
terest Americans, the recipients being
widely known in the United States. One
is the elevation to the peerage of Keu-
tare kaneke. who recently had the
honor of being the first japanese to re-
ceive the degree of LII D. from Har-
ward university. He viii now be known
as Baron Kaneke The other is that
Mr.. Fakuyama, the Thomas Arnold Of
Japan. Venerated by the people almost
as another Gladstone, his wish to re-
main a commoner was respected by the
emperor who, in lieu of a peerage, be-
slowed upon him gift of fifty thou
sand yen.
China remains in a state of calm,
which to many seems ominous. The
only sign of disturbance comes, not
from Pekin, but from Wei-Hai-We Ell,
where a dispute over the doings of the
boundary commission has led to open
hostilities, the Chinese commissioners
being attacked by the native insurg-
ents. At the request of the governor of
Shan Tung, British troops have gone
to their assistance but the loss is al
ready reported of one general officer
and thirty men.
From Korea much activity is reported
among Americans in the way of nego-
tiations for gold mine concessions.

MONEY TALKS.
JEFF Says They Don't Need a Reputa-
ton to Fight Him.

Pittsburg, Pa, May Sit being re-
ported today that James D. J. Corbett
would challenge James J. Jeffries to go
a six-round bout in Chicago. the latter
was asked what he would do about it
if it comes. Corbett is playing at the
Duquesne theater, and the champion
is here to umpire a ball game.
Let them all come" Jeffries said
I'm willing to meet any of them, and
they do not have to get regulations to
fight me. All they need is money. That
talks don't think Corbett will chal-
lenge me, and it is not likely that viii
do any fighting now until after the
Mccoy and Sharkey and the Rubin
and FitzsimmOns meetings. I'll never
fight Fitz, though. except on the same
terms he laid down for me-that the
champion shall take IS per cent, win
or lose

George Siler's Expression That
Fitz Would Win
In His Fight With Rubin Was
a Bad Break.
CANNOT REFEREE NOW.
Madden, Manager of the Big
Swiss, Makes Objection.
Matty Matthews and Eddie Con-
nelly Matched Again.

New York, May 31.-WiIliam Madden,
manager of Gus Rubin, was probably
the most surprised man in America to-
day. He had just finished reading a
newspaper article by George Siler, in
which the latter expressed the emphatic
opinion that Robert Fitzsimmons would
beat Gus Rubin when those heavy
weights met at Tuekahoe on June is.
The most significant portion of MIR.
Siler's statement was as follows:
ION past performances, or according
to fight dope. which at best is bad, it
looks as though FitzsimmonS would
win. I simply figure him as a winner
on Ruhlins fights with Mccoy, Sharkey
and Maher. Gus was easily outpointed
by Mccoy in Syracuse, was knocked
out in the first round by Sharkey at
Coney Island and went the limit with
Maher at the LenoX club
Madden read that paragraph over
very slowly after which he drew from
his pocket typewriter document en-
titled Articles of agreement between
Robert FitzsimmOns and Gus Rubin
for a boxing bout at the Westminster
Athletic club. Tuckahoe, June Is"
Clause Z of the document read as fol-
lows:
George Siler. of Chicago, is hereby
agreed on as referee of the contest"

Julian went to Chicago and asked Siler
to act, and he accepted. Siler and

Thinks He Can Beat Jefries If Given
Another Chance.

Pittsburg May 31-James J. Corbett,
after denouncing the introduction of his
name in the James King Clarke di-
Vorce trial, said:
Il am boxing now faster than ever,
and do not believe that am the dead
one that many people try to make me
out to be. AS to the Jeffries fight I
dc not remember how I was knocked
out, but from what they told me after
ward 1 am convinced that I walked
right into a left swing and got it good
and proper. If Mr.. Jeffries and ever
meet again I think I can show that
am the better man. JeffrieS personally
is a fine fellow and like him, but bust
ness is business, and that is why I say
I think can beat him In the fight I
had with him there was not a scratch
upon me, while his eye was puffed up.

CINCINNATI STAND BURNS.
Fire, of Supposed Incendiary Origin,
Ruins Ball Park and Contents.

Cincinnati, May 31.-The grandstand
and the 50-cent pavilion, along with the
club house and contents of the Cincin-
natl baseball park, were destroyed by
fire, entailing a loss of more than $780,
600. Insurance of $4,000 was carried on
the destroyed property.
The $4,000 does not include the play
eFs' loss. All the mems uniforms, bats,
gloves, etc, were destroyed and were
not insured AS players are compelled
to purchase their own uniforms, shoes,
gloves and other paraphernalia, it is
safe to say that every man on the team
is at least $50 poorer as the result of
the fire.
Not a thing that was in the club
house was saved" said Manager Allen,
land we will be compelled to get the
travelling uniforms of the Boston team
in order to fulfill our engagement in that
city. I have ordered new uniforms for
the team. but hardly expect to get them
before we return home"
Manager Allen took his uniform home
and his was the only suit saved. Harry
Steinfeldt's pet canine, which he con-
sidered his mascot, was burned up in
the fire.
