Speaking of his own plans for the
campaign, so far as they were detcr-
mined on to-day. Mr. Bryan said:

these occasions"
In response to question as TO his

ALMOST A PANIC.
ON THE NEW YORK COTTON EN-
CHANGE.

(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot)
New York. Aug. 10.-The August re-
port from Washington respecting the
condition of the cotton crop produced
almost n panic on the Cotton EN-
change among the shorts. For n long
period they had been operating on the
theory that the crop situation was of
a very high average, ignoring contra
dictory advices. At noon the official
report was announced. 1t showed the
average condition OF the crop to be &c
per cent against 81 per cent. in -Au-
gust last year.
This was worse than the most daring
bull and presumed to hint at. There
was wild scramble to cover short
contracts. There was enormous buy
ing also by n class Of traders which
had been waiting for some such report
TO throw CONSERVATION In the ranks of
the shorts and justify bull campaign.
Everything offered was taken and the
market advanced by rapid leaps so that
within Il very few minutes after the
announcement of the report prices
were 20 TO q points above the closing
OF yesterday. Still later business in
creased the advance to PAGES points.
1t Is estimated that the transactions
in cotton futures to-day did not fall
far from million bales. or about up
to the maximum record.

IL
New York, Aug. 1o.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons met Gus Rubin. the Akron
giant tonight, before the Twentieth
Century Club at Madison Square Gar
den and won by knocking the Ohioan
down and out in the sixth round. Be
fore the fight and for some weeks past
there have been many reports TO the
effect that FitZsimmons was too old
to cope successfully with his younger
opponent 1t was crgued that ITitz-
simmons well-known knowledge of the
game and his capability OF hard hitting
would not be able to counterbalancc
the youth and strength, as well as the
recently acquired ring tactics of tho
ONO man. Tonight, however, all this
has been changed. Fitzsimmons did
the trick cleanly ana cleverly. 1t was a
fierce and bloody battle while it lasted.
and AZ times it looked as if Rubin
would get the better OF the older man.
Dut ftt2Smmons at the proper time
would cut loose with his fearful body
blow, which finally snuffed out the
Ohio boxers light.
Fitzsimmons conceded about thirty
TWO pounds to Rubin. and this in it
self was a serious handicap. But as
the result showed FitZsimmons was
equal to the task he had set himself.
ana won out with that terrible solar
pleNuS blow. Whenever il landed il
shook Rubin from head to foot. FitZ-
simmons left the ring five minutes
after he had delivered the winning
punch. but it took Rubin twelve min
utes TO come around sufficiently to be
able to walk to his dressing room.
Billy Madden. Ruhiin's manager, de-
clarcd that Gus defeat was due TO
over-training.
