the victory. Fitzsimmons introduced
the solar plexus blow. which was 80
effective In his fight with cOrbett II

that their favOrite could strike a much
harder blow than Rubin. That Rubin
ls not a very hard hitter they insisted
was shown IN his fight with Sharkey.
Rubin hit the sailor mostly on the head,
and although he eventually knocked
him out II took him a long time. Fitz-
simmons has always knocked his men
out with a single blow on the head
or body.
RuhliD's supporters say that their

mitted that he was a bit nervous In
the first round with Sharkey. but his
timldity quickly wore away. and after
that period Rubin had things all his
own way. They also believed that
youth and strength would tell in the
Ohio mans favor and eventually give
him the victory.

WASHINGTON. Aug. To- In the

the attitude OF the administration Is
that there Is but one thing 10 do In the
present circumstances. namely 10 press
on 20 the relief OF the besieged garri,
son at Pckin. This was made known
after extended communications between
, Washington and the president at Cam

was made plain. however, that the mes
sage was sufficiently guarded as not

As TO the terms OF the message, they
are believed 10 make plain that this

n Chinese escort, when the minister has
advised Washington that this would
mean certain death.
Moreover, the reply doubtless let's the
minister know hat there Is inaccOunt-
able error In the statement OF the Chi
nese government. as conveyed 10 him
through the Tsung Ii Yamun, that the
foreign governments had urged repeat
edly that the ministers be sent out OF

This clause. contained in Minister
Conger's latest dispatch. clearly shows
