Sugar, the Tobacco securities. and other
industrial securities were strong yesterday
OF clique buying and covering, and despite
an early tendency to weakness in
the general market, the railway
list before the end of the day
responded fairly well to this influence and
made net gains in most cases. The market
was professional for the most part and
nothing of importance showed in the bust
ness of the day. unless perhaps II was the
strength OF Sugar, which advanced eight
points from the low price and closed with
more than five points net gain. This re-
mafkable buoyancy made the recent stories
of the settlement of the sugar war look
much more probable to the skeptics than it
has at any time heretofore. London sold
stocks at the opening, but later in the
day showed q better feeling toward the
Americans. Money was easy. 1t is said
that though some exports OF gold are pos
sible this week they are not probable.
During the first few minutes of the day
there was much talk Of the alleged weak
ness of Sugar and Tobacco among the
bears The street was told by one party
that 1T seems much more difficult to ad-
ven Sugar than to depress it, and that
:" Tobaceos do not seem to have any
fT % for the moment" II was before
thcSe people were through taking tnat the
boom in both these stocks began. Sugar .
advanced to III and closed at 1l5 Is
American Tobacco opened at 81 l-2, the
lowest price Of the day, and advanced
20 81 rs. The close was al 81. The re- 1
cent short sellers of this latter stock for
some reason seemed anxious TO get it back
and the holders OF the stock held il
strongly, 80 that they were obliged to bid
to cover their contracts. The buying In
Sugar was Of another kind, or at least |
much of II was. There was an exchange |
of heavy blocks of the stock at times dur !
ing the day. The developments do not con- |
tain any official statement that the Sugar /,
war is in process of settlement, but they /
poiat iu that direction strongly.

LITTLE EGYPT ARRESTED.
Her Midway Performance a Menace
 to Public Health.

The public has to have something to talk about, and this is especially so during the carnival days when people have their eyes and ears open for everything that is to be seen or heard. Little Egypt, demonstrator of anat- omy, has proved a star performer on the Midway, and in addition has for the last two days been the topic on which public opinion has taken sides. Since the crusade was begun against her particular school of science it has been considered good form for those who follow public sentiment closely to become shocked at mention of Egypt's Midway performances. Those who are net so particular and the curious, which Is by far the greater number, have considered 1t a moral duty to see the show in order to warn others whose morals may be in their keeping. For that reason the crowd kept up it's volume till yesterday forenoon. when Dr. H. A. Hughes, conceiving that his duties as health officer embraced the purification of the moral atmosphere, swore out a warrant in Recorder Jobs court against Jane Doe, better known as Little Egypt, charging her with violation of the city ordinance pro- hibiting immoral exhibitions Dhe doors Ito Little Egypt's palace were closed and she had a rest all afternoon, from her exertions before the calcium light.

both occasions Enos punted to safety. The red-men found the weak spots in the college line and steadily worked down the field. Virtually all of the balance of the game was played in the college territory. A dozen times the normal goal was in apparent reach but each time the college men punted out. All the normal energy was put ir-o it's defense and concentrated sole iy upon a fight to prevent the Indians scoring. The game ended with the ball on the college 40-yard line.
 But few changes were made in the teams during the progress of the play. A. Woolf, the normal left end, was re- placed by Coughran. On the Indian team Silvas went to full back in the second half. Horn replacing him ae left end, and Rice substituting for Largo on left end. Both teams played much better football than in the first game. In both offensive and defensive work, normal showed 50 per cent inn provement, while in team work the Indians were vastly better than in their first game with Tempe.

line. The attempt at goal failed. Again the Indians kicked and again the whites carried Ithe ball back. A formation of ends and tackles over was terribly effective on the Indian line and rarely failed to gain, partic
 ularly when used around the ends. Nineteen minutes later, stubbOrnly contesting every foot of ground, the Indians again let Haigler through. Again there was no goal and the score was 10 to 0. With three minutes to play, Shute went through tackle for five yards and repeated it. Haigler tore around left end for twenty yards StelZriede went through Rodriguez for five more and a few more plunges put the ball on the Indians five yard line
 Haigler was sent over for the third touchdown, just as time was called
 and then kicked goal. Score 16 to O.
 The collegians set a killing pace in the second half and in seven minutes scored their fourth and last touch down. Then the Indians braced and played such football as they never played before. Only twice was the Indian goal again in danger and on

Queen May of the carnival was formally introduced to her subjects last night. They had seen her before, at the coronation and at the dozens of lesser functions which have occurred since her reign began, but few of them had had an opportunity of a Sra- cious reception or to offer personal obeisance to Her Majesty. This op- portunity was afforded by the public reception at the Hotel Adams last night and the bend between sovereign and people was more firmly established.
 As far as the town was concerned, yesterday was a quiet carnival day following the excitement of the Elks' day. There was football game at the park and intere sting cowboy sports. It was proper that the people of Phoe- nix should be given a chance to rest for the crowning of today will be a wild carnival night against which there should be gathering of strength.
 The interesting, but not exciting, features of the juvenile parade in cluding the baby show, are the prin- cipal items on the bill of fare today.

present and most of them cook a whirl at one prize or another.
 Tn the fiag-picking contests the horses raced madly by the flags or hanGkerchiefs and some of them were prone to shy at the highly -colored ar ticles. However, a good exhibition was given and all were satisfied. Joe Bas- sett won the first prize of $15 for flag picking, and for the second prize, $10 there was a tie between Oscar Roberts and George Felton. The prize money was divided between them.
 The tug-of-war was between five mounted cowboys with double-cinch saddles and five with single cinch sad dles, the ropes being fastened to the horns of their saddles. In the midst If the contest the cinch on one of the sad dies gave way, bringing saddle, rider and all to the ground, the latter for tunately escaping injury. The single cinch men won the money by reason of the breaking Cf the ropes.
 The cowboys promise some fine sport at the race rack Saturday afternoon, when the big re.ay race and the steer

ABOUT TWO MINUTES
The Golored Fighter Made a Showing Which Painfully Surprised His Friends and Disgusted All Lovers of Pugulistie Contests-Referes Siler's Comment on the Fight.

Chicago. Dec. 13.-Terry McGovern is now the undisputed lightweight cham pion of the world. He knocked out Joe Cans of Baltimore after two minutes and five seconds of fighting in the sec ond round. Cans put up a very poor exhibition and was never in it at any stage of the game. McGovern started rushing him at sound of the gong and never let up until Cans was counted out. Cans never delivered an effective l blow during the fight, and for a man of his reputation he made a fight which will gain him no friends among the low CTS of true sport in the ring. George Siler, the veteran referee, who presided in the ring, said after Cans had been taken to his corner:
 Cans put up a very poor fight That's all I have to say. McGovern put up clean, fast fight from start to finish and is entitled to all the credit of victory. He fought hard and fast, his blows went home straight to the mark, and if the fight is to be cried down at | all, it is on account of the miserable showing made by Cans. During the round he never attempted to mix it up. He never made an effort to use his left counter, for which he is so famous, and did nothing but back away with a scared look on his face
 Tn the second round he attempted to | fight a little at the opening, but started | his backward march, attempting no re turn blows and making no effort to block the flows which McGovern sent in on his mouuh and lace. As he was rolled down on the floor time and again at every rush McGovern made, he l looked around with helpless | expression as though he had To idea whether it was part of the proceedings for him to rise or remain where he was. On the last knockdown he was on his back for six seconds, rolled over on his face, rose to his left knee and remained in that po- sition until Siler tapped him on the shoulder, telling him that the fight was over and that he was a loser. He was lifted and was able to walk in a feeble manner to his corner.
 As McGovern, smiling and waving his hands, turned toward his corner. he was picked up in the arms of his manager and carried to his corner. In an instant the ring was thronged with wildly cheering McGovern adherents, who gathered around the Brooklyn mans corner and cheered him again and again. McGovern was winded a little from his eXertions, but with no marks of any kind.
 He only hit me Once," said McGov- ern, and that was in the first minute of the first round. He poked his left into my mouth good and hard, but l know I had him on next exchange"
 Cans had no excuse to offer for his quick defeat His seconds. however. said that Cans was overtrained and that his stomach had been bad all day.

QUEEN MAY RECEIVES
Her Righness Meets Many of Her
 Loyal Subjects.

By far the most notable event of the season and perhaps one of the most brilliant affairs ever given in Phoenix was held last night at the HCilel Adams. It was the occasion of the reception rendered Queen May of the carnival by her loyal subjects-the citi- zens of Phoenix.
 The ordinary had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. The white and gold chairs for the queen and her court had been placed across one corner the chandeliers were festooned with pepper boughs. and a profusioa of palms and American Beauty roses lent their own charm to the scene. When the beautiful and gracious queen was seated, with her lovely la dies and gallant gentlemen of the court grouped about her, the picture was charming beyond the power of words to describe. At S:3O o'clock to the music of the orchestra the process sion started for the reception room where it was met by Mrs. Webster street-chafrman of the ladies' recep- tfcn committee,-who was assisted by Mrs. w. c. Foster and the presenta- tions to the queen began.
 For more than an hour continuous stream of beautifully gowned women and their escor,s gladly embraced the opportunity of bending the knee to the lovely Queen May.
 It was a bright and animated scene and was totally lacking in that cere- monious formality which frequently makes affairs of this kind somewhat tedious. The gay laugh mingled with +l, tt.- constantly moving groups of ladies gave an ever-changing contrast of color which was very pretty initseffect.
 Many guests from a distance were present, and happy faces indicated pleasant evening. At a side table, dec orated with white roses. lemonade and punch were served during the entire evening.
 Among the costumes noticed were:
 Mrs. E. J. Bennitt, handsome black lace gown trimmed with black spangles and pink silk.
 Mrs. Leo Goldman, a gray gown trimmed with cream lace, the over skirt cut in points showing an under skirt of gray silk with a deep flounce of accordion plating.
 Mrs. Martin of Tucson, an exquisite creation in cream lace made with long train and cut low in the neck and richly trimmed with silver spang!es.
 Mrs. C. H. Akers, a beaptiful back gown, cut low and sleeveless. trimmed with jet and carried a lovely bouquet Of American Beauty roses.
 Mrs. B. Heyman, a heliotrope gown with deep accordion plating at the foot, the overskirt cut in points, each point outlined with wide cream insertion.
 Mrs. Harry Tritle, a beautiful white gown, slightly low in the neck, with elbow sleeves, the Overskirt cut in points, falling over hounce of accor- dion plai.ing.
 Mrs. L. '. Chalmers. gray silk gown with white silk trimmings.
 Mrs. D. Goldberg a black skirt with

To the sound of Che above eff fusion, a creation by Center Rush Richards, to the air of Maryland, My Maryland" and in the pan demonium Of the college yell, the normal school football team yes terday afternoon defeated the Indian school eleven by a score of 21 to 0.
 In the many football contests on the gridiron at Phoenix park, it is prob able that there has never been a cleaner game than that of yesterday and very few, if any. that have em- bodied so much of football of h high class.
 A month ago the Indians inflicted a defeat upon the collegians. Since then the redskins won from the uni Versity of Arizona, and by the two victories, their title to the champion ship of the territory was apparently clnched but yesterdays game gives a new aspect to the championship qucs- ton. The game was a closer contest than the score indicates and from an expert point of view, it will not be an improbability for the Indians to re- deem themselves. The normal team played it's game in the first half. The longer the Indians played the better they played and in the latter half demonstrated their ability, not only to hold the varsity level. but to keep the college goal in constant danger.
 Previous victories of the Indians this season, made their team a slight fav- orite in the betting, but in the first half of the game there seemed little hope to the friends of the Indians, that they could do else but hold the loose end of a onz-sided score. The colleg- ians displayed 9 quality of football which was of a vastly better grade than that of the previous game with tlE, redskins. From the kickoff they smashed and tore ,he Indians line [ ana ran at will around the ends. Timc and again the doughty Haigler and his colleagues crashed through for gain: of five and ten and twenty yards, and four times Haigler the Great, the Ido of Tempe, fell across the goal line | Three touch-d downs occurred in the | first half, and one in the second. Onct the college men kicked goal and failed | on the other three.
 FAST FOOTBALL.
 The story of the game may be brief | ly told. The Indians kicked off, nor ! nal choosing the west goal In thir | teen minutes, by desperately hart
 work, the baIl went over the Indian
