ly to hear anything that he might have
to say. He admitted however, that it
was barely possible that the woman

line for the championship. 1t is doubt
full If any more vicious battle was ever
fought In a prize ring and when the
victor had beaten the Irishman into
helplessness in the 10Th round he
brought the contest to an end without
fluke or flaw. Except for the fourth
aud fifth rounds, the end, barring acci-
dent, was never in doubt Many look

The fight had not gone to the second
round before those ut the ringside
saw that Ruhln, whose movements
have formerly been likened to those Of
a dTay horse had been trained into a
ring general of high order and had
learned most of the tricks OF the game.
No blow that Sharkey got in had any
effect on his opponent, save one that

left jabbing into his face with the reg
ularity of n piston rod. These jabs
with the left began to tell on the Irish
man early in the bout. They were for
the most part directed to the sight and
the jaw. Before the men went to the
sixth round Sharkey's eye was bleed
ing profusely and when they faced
each other for the final 18th, IL was n
sight to behold.
GLAD GUS WON.
Happy as was all Akron over Rub
Inns victory over Sharkey Tuesday
night, joy was supreme ut the home of
the big giant on Nieman ST.
The family received the returns at
their residence by telephone and when
they retired for the night, 1t was with
the assurance that member of their
household was promising candidate
for championship honors.
"Texas' Rubin, brother of the
fighter, was at the ring side as was
also Mr.. John Lamparter of this city.
Wednesday morning a Democrat re-
porter called at the Rubin home. The
gray haired father of Akron's Gus
answered the bell. II am glad Gus
won," said he, but afterward, he ad-
mitted that he did not like the busi-
ness.
With pardonable pride the father
expressed the hope that his son would
some day be champion of the world.
He said that Gus had been confident
of victory all of the time, and never
had any fears as to the outcome. No
word has been received in Akron from
the boxer today, but 1t goes without
saying that cablegram has been
sent to the lighters mother, who is
now in Switzerland.

RUSSIA VS.. AMERICA.
How American Oil Maintains Suprem.
acy In the Petroleum Markets OF
the World.

In the early seventies petroleum was
] discovered in Russia, and when the
Standard Oil company made its great
improvement in the methods and pro-
cesses of refining and completed its
pipeline transportation at an outlay of
millions of dollars In experimentation
F., and construction, European capital Or
ganized an immense syndicate and
adopted all the improved methods of
the Standard Oil company in develop
ing the oil industry in Russia. They
have increased the Russian production
| from 100000 barrels in 1870, to 50,697,-
600 barrels in 1897, which is 1851, ,010
barrels more than the total American
output.
Thus, with the best American meth
ods, developed at the cost of the exper-
iments of American capital, and pay
ing less than one-fourth American
wages, and with the most fertile oil
lands in the world. Russia has become
an immense rival in the petroleum in
| dustry. The Russian government pro-
tects the Russian market by a 200 per
cent duty. so that the Russian oil com
pany has a monopoly of the Russian
market. 1t has cheap labor and Amer
lean productive methods to compete
against the Standard Oil Company in
| the rest of the world.
On the other hand, by its superior
economy, large capital and highly de-
veloped management, the Standard
Oil company has prevented Russian oil
producers from supplying the Ameri-
can market BY the use of immense
capital and efficient management the
American producers, besides supplying
| the American market. in 1897, exported
| to the different countries of Europe,
| Asia and elsewhere, outside of Russia,
994,297.157 gallons of refined oil, which
at the low prevailing price was cquiva-
lent to bringing $59O57,574 in gold to
this country. The exports for the last
ten years have been as follows:

| Here, then, is n concern which, by the
power OF its large capital. gives en-
ployment to $4,000 American laborers,
pays 100000 a day in wages, and
brings nearly S6O000 of gold into the
country every year, which would be
lost to this country but for the econom.
ic energy and supriority of the Stand
ard Oil company. Who would be bene-
flied II this concern We're forced to dis.
band? Small reiineries, such as those
now outside the Standard, could not
even hold the American market If
subjected to competition with the Rus
slams. Moreover, the Standard Oil
company furnishes an unlimited, cash
market for every barrel of petroleum
produced IN this country y.-Professo

about the fight, except to repeat what
] have been saying for some time! |

WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE.
New York, June 27.-(SpD--Tom
Sharkey although badly whipped last
night and looking the part today, Is
still anxious for another fight He
says:
Il am not one of the kind to cry over
getting whipped, but to tell the truth,
I am very much cut up over the out
come of this fight. | don't believe
that Rubin is better man than | am,
and I would like another chance at
him on any terms.
II must admit that Rubin is a very
the fight as easy and took chances
which l should not have taken.
II am sick of lucky punch stories,
and want to give my conqueror every
credit for winning, but still | hope for
another go.'

During their engagement at the
Grand Opera House, Pueblo, next
Thursday night, February 18th,
Blanche Walsh and Melbourne Mac
Dowell will present sardou's great
play Cleopatra" The company will
be q strong one, having been careful
ly selected for the roles in which
they are to appear, and the produc-
tion will be on scale of magni6cence.
This famous queen Of Egypt has for
centuries presented an altogether
unique figure in the minds of those
cultivated enough to care for histori-
cal personages. From the. first act
to the very last, including the great
storm episode, series of charming
Egyptian pictures will be presented.
Mhe reproduction Of the famous
Cleopatra Barge, with its accompani-
msnt of music, singing crowds of
swaying adoring figures, armed Roman
soldiers and brilliant colored sur
roundings makes picture rarely
witnessed on the stage. The storm
scene in the fifth act ia said to be
one of the most thrilling examples Of
realism known to the contemporary
stage.
Owing to the extreme length and
stupendous production of Cleopatra
the curtain will rise promptly at SPIN.
An excursion will be run by the
Denver & Rio Grande, leaving at $40
p. m. round trip one dollar. Theatre
tickets may be reserved at W. H.
