'IIIE HAN KOw UPRISING.
Plot Organized by the Parti~an$ OF
Hang Yu Wei-Twelve of the Con.
sptrafOrs Beheaded,

Paris, August 27.-Official dispatches
from Shanghai explain that the Han
Kow uprising was not due to the Box
ers, but was a plot organized by the
partisans of Kang Yu Wei, the refor-
mer. combined with the secret society
known as the "Ko Lao Hui" an anti
foreign organization who proposed to
the Southern Viceroys a revolt against
the Pekin Government. The leaders of
the movement relied specially upon
Chang Chi Lung, viceroy at Han KoW.
for arms, ammunition ana other agents
of destruction.
A proclamation, written in English.
and addressed to Europeans, was seiz-
"a. In 1t the revolutionists declared
themselves opposed to the Manchu
dynasty, but ready to uphold the pres
ent Emperor. They expressed them
selves as DESTROYS of founding a con
stitutional government" of protecting
foreigners and Christians, and of sup
porting the powers against antiforeign
fanatics.
The immediate effect of the move
ment has been to increase the peril of
Europeans. Proof exists of disorder and
pillage, due to the same movement at
widely separated points. The head
quarters of the conspiracy is Han kow,
from which point 1t ramified into other
provinces.
Several thousands of the supporters
Of the movement have received instruc-
tions to demonstrate in the central wall
ley CT the Yang Use kiang, but the
Viceroy has sufficient force of regu-
lar troops to guarantee the MAIN
tenance of order. Twelve of the princi-
pal conspirators have been beheaded.

-rITz RETIREs FROM THE RING.
After an Unavailing Effort to Arrange
n Match with Jeffries for Friday
Nfsht. He Announces that He is
Done With Prize.Fighting.

New York, August 27.-Robert Fitz-
simmons tonight announced his retire
ment from the pugflistic ring. He made
an Intellectual attempt to-day to get
on a match for the heavyweight
championship with James J. Jeffries, to
take place before the Horton law ex-
pfres at midnight next Friday and to-
night issued the following statement:
81 am through with fighting. / will re-
tire from the ring and Will not claim
the championship from Jefffies. 1 am
ready and on edge to meet him next
Friday night, as his manager suggest
ed ten days ago, but az he claims he is
In no condition to fight on that night,
I am through with him and with the
ring. Henceforth there will be one man,
less in the heavy weight division. for I
will go out with the Horton law"
Fitzsimmons, with his manager, met
William A. Brady, representing JEFF
fries, this afternoon. Last Saturday
Fitzsimmons deposited $500 to bind a
match between himself and Jeffries for
next Friday night, and Brady sent
word that he would meet FitZsimmons
to arrange for a battle between JEFF
fries and the ex-heavy weight cham
pion. Fitzsimmons said he was ready
and willing to meet Jeffries on Friday
night before the Twentieth Century
Club under any conditions as to the
division Of the purse or gate receipts
which would suit Brady. He said he
would be satisfied for the winner to
take all, or to split the purse in half
or to give sixty-f1ve per cent. to the
winner, or sixty-five per cent to the
loser. or in fact any terms possible SO
that he could meet the present cham
pion before the expiration Of the Hor-
ton law.
Brady. in reply, said that Jeffries
was in no condition, as he had quit
training several days ago He said 1t
would be unfair to Fitzsimmons to
force a match with a man physically
unfit for such contest. Fftzsfmmons
replied that Jeffries had had plenty Of
time to get into condition, and said
that although he had gone through two
very severe battles during the last two
weeks. he was on edge now and ready
to fight to regain the championship.
Brady said it was impossible for
fight to take place between Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons on the date mentioned,
but that he would put up forfeit at
once to bind a match between the two.

months from September LIST, and a side
bet of $4,000. Fitzsimmons would not
listen to this proposition, and said that

poses.

WHY KING HUMBERT WAS GRANT
ED A CHRISTIAN BURIAL.

London, August 2S.-''As a result of the
outcry against the declaration of the OBJ
servatore Romano, says the Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily Express, that the
late King Humbert had meditated giving
up Rome to hierarchy, the clerical papers
have been instructed to publish a state
ment giving confirmation and details
According to this account. King Hum
bert, some months before his DEATH wrote
to Cardinal Giuseppe Frisco, Archbishop
of Naples, requesting that trustworthy
priest be sent to hear his confession. A
priest was sent, but absolution was refus-
ed, unless Humbert would agree to alb.
dictate and give up Rome. The King asked
time to consider, as he was anxious tC
receive the sacrament; and, according tC
the clerical version, it YVES this communt
cation to the priests that induced the
Holy See to grant Christian burial King
Humbert's letter to Cardinal Frisco will
be published. A circular note from the
Vatican to the Catholic powers declares
that, so long as Italy contests the rights
of the Holy See, the Pope will only rec
ognize Victor Emmanuel as King of Sar.
DINA. The note appeals to the powers tC
relieve the Pope from an intolerable sit
uation, declaring that the condition of the
Papacy under Italian rule Is steadily
growing worse"

Round.
New York, August 27-The fight be-
tween Tommy West and Joe Walcott
which was the main attraction at the
Twentieth Century Club in Madison
Square Garden, ended In a most pecu-
liar manner tonight. The bout had
gone eleven rounds very much in Wal
colts favor, as he had punished West
very badly about the body and had him
In a very weakened condition. When
the bell rang for the twelfth round, to
the surprise OF everybody, Walcott re-
fused to go on, claiming that he had
injured his left arm. Referee Charley
White, suspecting crookedness, insist
ed On Walcott's continuing, but the
negro refused to resume.
This left White no alternative other
than to declare'West the winner There
was quite large sum Of money wager
ed. with West the favorite, and the
referee was outspoken in reference to
Walcotts peculiar actions. He said:
"Walcott was not injured; he quit
deliberately, and it was my candid,
confirmed opinion that he was actuated
in quitting by some dishonest motive.
! believe that Waleott was encouraged
to act as he did by some person close
~ connected with him. That he should
act thus Is no surprise to me, as he es-
tablished q precedent for similar work
in San Francisco not SO very long ago.
And I think 1t was a scheme to hurt
the management Of the Twentieth
Century Club, which has all along act
ed in good faith"
Manager Kennedy, on behalf Of the
club, announced that Walcott's share
of the money would not be given to

sorry that the club could take no cog
