1t is stated that the Chicago. Rock
Island & Pacific has decided to advance
the salaries of 365 or more of its ticket
and station agents. With this road TAX
ing such step doubtless other of the large
systems will take a similar action. On the
Rock Island it has been found that since
the abolition of commissions many of the
agents are not earning enough to support
themselves and families. In many cases
the salaries paid are merely nominal while
the commissions amounted to many times
the salaries. As result many men who
were making large amounts under the old
regime have barely been able to make both
ends meet. Realizing the situation the
Rock Island management recently re-
quested its passenger department to re-
port the number of ticket and station men
whose salaries were inadequate. 1t is said
that the president purposes raising such
salaries upon a basis of the business done.
1t Is not likely that any agent will receive
a salary which will compensate him for
the loss Of the commissions. but he will
be assured Of a salary which will be fair
percentage of the business done at his
station.

BATTLE OF THE JIMS.
Corbett and Jeffries to Meet at the
Seaside Club Tonight.

NEW YORK, May 10.-James j. Jeffries
and Jim j. Corbett will fight twenty-five
rounds tomorrow night in the arena OF the
Seaside Athletic Club. for the heavy
weight championship of the world. now
held by Jeffries. They will wear five-ounce
gloves, and Queensberry rules will govern,
except that there shall be no hitting in the
clinches. Charley White will be the
referee.
1t is expected that between 10000 and 49,
900 persons will see the fight, which will
be for go per cent. of the gate receipts. or
about $4,000. OF this sum the winner is to
receive 70 per cent. of sSs. $50. while the loser
will get 25 per cent. Absence of pro-
nounced betting interest is a conspicuous
feature of the contest. Several reasons are
advanced for the lack of big wagers. One
is that the leading sporting men are afraid
to bet because of the stories concerning
Corbett's wonderfully improved condition.
While the friends of the former champion
hope for the best, they believe that the
alleged Improvement in Corbett's soundness
is not as marvellous as his trainers say 1t is.
There Is plenty of Jeffries money in sight,
but Corbett currency is hard to find.
Jeffries's admirers have entire confidence
in the champion. They know that the big
boiler maker has in his favor youth.
strength and wonderful hitting powers.
They point to the champion as thoroughly
seasoned for bruising battle.
The men have agreed that there shall be
no hugging. Each principal will have three
seconds Gus Rubin, George Considine and
and Jack Jeffries, Tommy Ryan and Ed
Dunkhorst will second Jeffries.
