Ensign Mccarthy explained to Maj.
Whitley that the Filipinos had no vessels

attack by sea and they certainly possess

warned the Spanish captain that in flu

ers, Is the overshadowIng influence In
business. This conflict disturbs busi-
ness and interferes with calculations
OF merchants over large part OF the
Atlanta seaboard, and Is really the
only tangible check to the general re-
covery which set in with the largest
demand for iron and steel products.
Outside of the anthracite industry
enforced idleness Of hands Is an ex-
ception, and even in the Pennsylva-
mia coal region other employers would
gladly take on thousands of moro in
relligent miners. Hesitation incident
to the presidential campaign Is reflect

cities 7.S per cent loss from
last year.
Cotton has felt the loss of consump-

Brighter crop news from Texas had a
depressing effect. The cotton goods

Bitter Flight Over Grand Forks &

Won by the incorporates mt the
Close of an All-Night Session.

Special Dispatch TO the acknowledgement
VICTORIA, b. c.. Aug. 2.-The legis-
lature prorogued this afternoon, after
a long and most wearisome session. The
members worked practically all OF yes
terday and continuously from o'clock
last night until 6 this morning. They
managed. however. to finish all business
and to prepare the house for relief from
its labors this afternoon.
The propagation ceremonies passed of
very quietly. There was small attend
ance of spectators and the speech con-
tanned nothing of public interest. being
merely a resume of the work Of the ses-
sion. A pleasing feature Of the afternoon
was the decoration OF the desk of Prince
Ellison Of Vernon with beautiful driv-
ing whip, silver mounted. This was a gift
from the ministers. who took this way
OF showing their appreciation OF Ellison's
efficient services as government whip -ur-
ing the session.
A most exciting division resulted at 8
O'Clock this morning over bill to incor-
porate the Grand Forks and Kettle River
railway. The application was opposed by
the Canadian Pacific railway, and George
Mel. Brown, the executive agent Of the
road moved heaven and earth to accom-
plish his ends. The bill. however passed
by very narrow majority. even the min
listers dividing on the question. Five d.
visions were taken before the bill was
finally passed. its opponents registering
their objections and points Of order at
every stage. All was OF no avail, how
ever.
Another feature OF the sitting was the
withdrawal OF the amendment to the SUI
preme court bill depriving Vancouver of
the sitting OF the supreme court. So
strong was the pressure brought to bear
on the government by its own supporters
that the attorney general was compelled
to reluctantly withdraw his bill.

Joe Cans, of baltimore, Outslugged
Dial Hawkins, of San Fran


NEW YORK. Aug. sl.--At the Broadway
Athletic Club tonight. the last series Of
bouts under the Horton law was brought
TO a conclusion by Joe Cans, OF Balti-
more. knocking out Dial Hawkins. of Cali
fornia, in the third round. In a contest
that was scheduled 10 so twenty-five
rounds, at 1873 pounds.
Both men were at the required weight.
and each looked TO he in good condition
when they entered the ring.
Both fought carefully In the opening
round. Hawkins tried repeatedly for the
head, but Cans blocking was perfect
and not many punches were landed other
than a few swings to the stomach Of
Hawkins.
In the second round the men warmed
to their work. and each scored heavily
on the head. Both missed repeatedly in
their anxiety 10 land. but the round ended
In Hawkins favor. because OF his superior
work to the body. which seemed to worry
Cans.
They started the third with a rush. and
Dial reached Joe's head with a sharp left
10 the jaw, but Cans repaid him a mo-
ment later with a hard right on the jaw.
Cans then cornered Dial. and both start
ed to slug with both hands. For fully a
minute they never moved from the spot
where they started. and so vicious was
the fighting that the crowd was on its
feet In perfect frenzy of excitement.
Hawkins blows seemed TO carry the more
steam. and 1t looked as IL the colored
boxer would go down He steadied him
self, however. and. with a sharp right
hook to the jaw, stretched Dial on the
floor. There was no need for count,
as Dial was so far gone that he could

self could hardly stand. and looked to
be ready to drop when he landed the
lucky blow.
