HARD LUCK OF GLEE CLUB.
berkeley TroubadOurs Return Home
After an Unsuccessful Tour.

Facing deficit of $500, with memories of
unsympathetic audiences and unremunera-
tive performances in the Northwest, the
glee club of the University Of California is
at home again. San Francisco papers say
that instead of being u ''glee club the
organization has taken on somber air,
while cheerful glees. sung TO a rag-time
accompaniment on banjos, mandolins and
guitars, have been superseded by funeral
marches and dirges.
The club essayed to accumulate a stack
of money and earn enduring fame In the
smaller towns in California and the cities
of the Northwest. Its members started
with hope born of inspiration which, now
ever. proved unsatisfactory when the
stern hotelkeepers along the route were
settled with. The clubs small store of
capital in cash dwindled steadily away I'M
ruptcy and the members prayed for a
streak of luck which never came.
Between times the troubadours were
forced to the humiliating expedient of ly-
ing in 15-cent restaurants, with an occa-
sioral menu of crackers and cheese, sup
plemented by cheese and crackers, with
trimmings of baked bean saute. Still the
houses were but partly filled. and the
keeper of the cash became thoroughly de-
spondent and morose.
Whether the Berkeley singers replenished
their emaciated purses by telegraphing
home. or whether they saved ticket money
and learned to know the brake beam and
the box car sleeper is not recorded. The
club Is homo again, the calves of its MEN,
bers visibly enlarged by much walking ex-
ercise. and the singers themselves glad
to recuperate on three meals per day.

YIN ANTHONY, of San Francisco. the
al bantam weight champion of Austral-
la and the United States. defeated
Mickey WEIGH, formerly of Australia, now
of Seattle, in twelve rounds of fast and
scientific boxing before an immense crowd
at the Seattle Athletic Club last night.
Welch was not insensible but he had been
knocked down twice in the twelfth, and
the bell saved him at the close of the
eleventh. He was helpless and the crowd
cheered the decision of Referee Crane,
awarding the fight to Anthony.
WEIGH acknowledged his defeat and An
thony said "Welch is the hardest man
ever fought in my life."
WEIGH knocked Anthony down in the
seventh round, feat which is remarka-
BILE. as never before in his history has the
doughty little champion been lifted off his
feet.
1t was the cleverest exhibition ever seen
in Seattle and old time sports said there
had ever been a better one on Pacific coast
Anthony proved himself the greater
fighter and WEIGH showed his superiority
as a boxer. So long as his strength lasted
WEIGH was able to land on Anthony about
as he pleased. but when it came to close
work Anthony countered with his right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia speech, SEN
sational in its interest and international
In its choice. was delivered In the senate
today by Hale of Maine. The occasion OF
the utterance was the simple question
whether a resolution introduced by Aiien'
calling for information as to the recogni-
ton by this country Of diplomatic repre-
sentation Of the Transvaal republic, should
be directed to the president or secretary
of state.
Hale made the question the subject OF
an impassioned speech, in which he de-
clared that nine-tenths of the American
people sympathized with the Beers In
their gallant struggle for liberty against
one of the greatest powers IN the worln.
He declared that the war which Great
Britain Is waging IL the most fatal ploW
at human liberty that has been struck IN
the century. He denied that the Amer.
Britain in the South African war to stamp
out the liberty of the. people, and when
Mr. Balfour in the house or commons,
made such a statement, me should De
met with some disclaimer from this side
of the Atlantic. He declared that the
English people themselves were not In IA
yor of this war which had been brought
on by sharp cabinet ministers engaged
with gold spectators"
Hale spoke with unusual force, decision
and carnestncSS, even for MIN, ana MS
passionate eloquence claimed the closest
attention of every auditor
The resolution, which previous to Mr..
Hale's speech had caused sharp colloquy
between Allen and Spooner. was passed
finally as amended

the financial bill.

with hard lefts. whenever he chose.
The fast work commenced to tell, how
ever, and Anthony, having sized up his
man bore in and commenced countering
with hard rights WEIGH drew first blood
in the second round. Toward the latter
end of the fifth Welch commenced to get
slower and Anthony was fresh and strong.
The sixth was even,. and in the seventh
Mickey showed better strength, knocking
Anthony down with left on the jaw He
was up on the seventh count, however.
Mickey had the better of the eighth, puff
ing Anthony's eye and drawing a little
blood. Anthony got in some hard right
drives at close quarters in the ninth and
from that on drove WEIGH to defeat. His
blows at close quarters on body and face
were Furnishing. In the eleventh Anthony
knocked WEIGH fiat and the bell saved MIN.
A right and left put Welch on the mat
in the twelfth, but he got up and hit An
thony staggerer with his left. Anthony
landed right and left and following up
his advantage lifted WEIGH off his feet
with a terrific left on the wind. Helpless
WEIGH lay there and the referee awarded
the fight to Anthony.

ity added greatly to the success of the
opera. AS the mock Warehouses de
Lusignay she was very pretty. This is
Miss Sprays first attempt of soubrette
role and was entirely satisfactory. Miss
Bessie Inglis was a pretty little peasant
girl. In the third act she sang a little

manner, which won for her rounds of APP

Mr.. Ferris. as Henri. Marquis de Corn

ingly difficult part of the old miser. Gas
pard, was in the able hands of Samuel
Woodruff. His rendition of the miser's
ghouish gloating over his wealth in the
second act was powerful, He sang well
in solos and duets. II. Huckins was good
raile and with the assistance Of his
notary, Mr.. Brockbank. kept run of hu-
NOR through the piece. Harry DuRoss,
as Grenicheux, the fisherman, got his
share of well-deserved applause.
The chorus was under the direction of
Sol Asher. and was especially good in
the ensembles and finales. The piece was

were introduced, including wand drill
and a vocal solo with harp accompani-
ment.

To Pass Upon Applicants for situa-
lions Mt Port Orchard Dock.


Hereafter all applications for labor, skill
ed or unskilled, at the Port Orchard navy
yard or other government works on Puget
sound, will be passed upon by board of
labor before the applicant is allowed to go
TO work. There viii be no more prerniscu-
GUS employment Of labor on any work here
G. Whitthorne. chief clerk of the Mare
island navy yard, who has been here for
the past month organizing board at Port
Orchard, returned home yesterday having
completed his assignment. The new or
ganization is composed of H. l.. Ferguson,
assistant naval constructor, presidents c.
r.. Burr. assistant surgeon, and E. C.
Toby, assistant paymaster. ]. e. Jones,
acting warrant machinist, is recorder and
Arthur Clafiin clerk.
All persons who hereafter may wish to
secure employment in the naval depart
ment on Puget sound may get blank APP
plications by applying to the board, but
the return must be made in person so
that an examination of the applicant may
be had.
'There will be a large amount of work
done at the naval station here" said Mr..
Whitthorne, when seen at the Butler be-
fore his departure during the coming year
and the Indications are that the present
force will be at least doubled. What this
work Will be OF course is not for me to say
as orders from the department come d.
rect to those in charge Of the work
The Port Orchard yards, however, will
have an increased Importance before yery
long and then II is probable that much
more of the naval work will be done here
than has in the past"

Toward the last WEIGH Was forced to
clinch to save going out, but he fought up
to the last with grim determination, slowly
but surely going to certain defeat.
Previous TO the principal event of the
evening Joe Leo, of Seattle, and the Port
land kid boxed twelve rounds. The de-
cision of Referee Geogan in favor OF Leo
was just. The kid" said as he left the
ring: HE defeated me-" 1t was a very
pretty contest Both were in fine condi-
ton. and boxed finely. Leo did most OF
the leading, and landed many more blows.
He did not use his right. much to the
establishment Of his friends after the Sec
ond round. 1t turned out that he had
broken bone in that hand. but he gave
no signs during the fight Of the pain he
endured.
When Anthony and WEIGH entered the
ring they were cheered. Anthony was cool
but welch appeared a trifie nervous. There
was little difference in height, reach and
weight Perhaps Welch had three or four
pounds the better. OF their own accord
they agreed to break clean from clincnes.
AS the principals could not agree on a
referee the club insisted that Prof. Crane
officiate.
In the first five rounds WEIGH was little
