for head, but Walcott got inside of them
and put both hands to the body, and in
the clinch which followed sent his right
over the kidneys.
In the fourth, Choynsli managed to
land a couple of hard right handlers on
the body, but the negro sent back lefts
and rights on the body and face, doing
particular damage with his left on the
side of the head. The fifth round was all
in Walcott's favor. and in the sixth he
cut Choynslxi's right eye with a left
hand swing.
The Californian was groggy when he
came up for the seventh round, and af-
ter he received right on the wind and
two lefts on the face he staggered in an
evidently helpless manner. Walcott then
landed left and right on the jaw, fore
ing Choynski to the floor. and when the
latter regained his feet, Walcctt rushed
him. but was stopped by the referee.

the winner.
White said afterward that,he felt that

PITCHER PHYLE SIGNS.
Decides to Except the Chicago Ball
Clubs Terms.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-Pitcher William
Phyle yesterday signed a contract to
play another season with the Chicago
ball club, thus ending the long discus
sion as to what disposition would be
made of the former Western league
star. Phyle held off for some time,
and had a bad season last year owing
to various circumstances, but will start
in afresh this year under management
more friendly to him and hopes to make
a much better showing.
Phy1e's' signature makes the roster
of the Chicago club complete with the
exception of Lange. and there now
seems little probability of his donning
q uniform next summer President
Hart has taken him at his word, and
will make all arrangements for the
team, counting Lange out. Lotus has
been figuring on the playing order of
the team, and as soon as he can get
the men on the diamond will begin try
ing his combinations to see how well
they work in actual play.

TRADE EXPANSION.
Senate Committee on Commerce Re
ports q Junket Bill.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gal
linger has favorably reported from the
committee on commerce the bill for
the appointment of a commission to
visit Asia in the interest of trade. In
support of the bill, the report states:
During the past few years the at
tention of the American people has
been fOrcibly directed to the necessity
Of increasing the foreign commerce of
the United States, and it has already
been demonstrated that by properly di-
rected efforts we shall be able to secure
a largely increased export trade, both
of our manufactured goods and the
products of the American farms It
goes without saying that the growth
of our foreign trade will largely pro-
mote the prosperity of all class of our
people, and the Orient, by practically
common consent holds the largest
promise for uor commercial expansion" "
After presenting commercial StatiS-
tics of the Orient the report continues:
THE bill contemplates that the COM
mission shall be composed of represen-
tative business men, selected from the
five geographical divisions of the coun-
try, so that they shall represent all
our people, and all our industries It
is proposed to make such an appropria-
ton as will enable the commission suf-
ficient time in the Orient to acquire in
detail the information needed by our
exporters for the intelligent and sue
cessful prosecution of the business and
the purpose is also to gain information
that will open the markets of the
Orient to the product of our farms. and
to this end it is to be hoped that all
least one representative of the agrf-
cultural interests of the country shall
be appointed on the commission. The
purpose is to make it a business com
mission, the chief end in view being to
gain desirable information and secure
concession that win result in the widen
ing of our markets in this most inviting
and attractive field. It is hoped that
under the direction of the president of
the United States and acting in con
junction with our diplomatic and con-
sular agents the commission will be
able to secure modification of some of
the existing conditions and thus open
the way to the expansion of our prod
ucts.

TO LEARN BOER SIDE.
Not His First Bit of Daring
Newspaper Work.
1t Is Expected the Enterprising
Editor viii Succeed.

New York. Feb. 24-w. R. Hearst
has gone to Pretoria. He wants to
have a talk with "Oom'' Paul and find
out from the president of the TransvaaI
himself just how matters stand in the
war.
The energetic young owner of the
Journal has been abroad for some
months. and was thinking of returning
to this country when it dawned on him
that the Boer side of the war has not
been fully told, and would not be as
long as matters remained as they are
at present. So he changed his plans
and instead of coming home sailed for
Africa.
It has been known for some time
that Mr.. Hearst was in Alexandria, but
1t was not told that he has gone south
along the coast and is headed for Lo-
renzo Marques. from whence he will
make his way to the Transvaal cap
ital In fact, it may be that he is al
ready well on his way to the home of
Dom" Paul. He is determined, it is
said by his friends here, that he will
