Sunday school children, waving Amer
lean flags, cheered and sang sacred and
patriotic songs in honor of Admiral

The song service, which was the last

the time of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
from early in the day, took place in
the afternoon at a public reception
given in the big building in which four
years ago President Mckinley was

entirely supended in the pits during
the visit of the distinguished guest.
This reception was limited to members
of the exchange and their families. but

effect that the Allied Building Trades

brotherhood would open negotiations

Blaze IIluminateS the Country for
Miles and Battles Fire Boats

Bayonne, N j., May 5.-The Stand
ard Varnish works at Elm Park S. L.,
were discovered to be on fire early this
morning, and the whole works were
for time threatened with destruction.
The fire presented a magnificent sight.
The varnish and the materials escap-
ing from the great tanks as they blew
up flowed over the yard and out upon
the waters of the Kill Won Kull. The
blaze from the various oils illumin-
ated the country for miles.
Fire tugs from the Standard Oil
works at Bayonne were early ordered
to the scene, but they could not ap-
proach the main blaze and they were
compelled to confine their efforts to
keep the burning oils from floating
down the Kills to points where ships
and boats were tied UP.
Time and again the oils were car
ried to the tugs. which had 10 turn
their hose upon each other in order to
save themselves. The tugs managed
TO hold the fire in check upon the
water while the firemen on shore
fought them back from the buildings.
Eight Of the great tanks blew up with
-in-tEga hnnrs--ll IL ala- ,,losion-- threw
the burning contents in every direc-
tion and repeatedly endangered the
lives of the firemen and sent the fire
among the buildings
The flames upon the water finally
communicated to and destroyed the
docks and some Of the smaller build
ings out near the waters edge in the
Vicinity Of the varnish works.

Mr.. House took occasion to remind
the referee that Miller could not be
cajoled into replies of any description

In his address he emphasized the char
acter of Christ as a personal Savior The
subject of salvation was an ever-present
one, and not only important during times
of revival, but the infinite value of a
human soul had no measure and its des-
tiny was equally important at all times

ON MISSIONS In CHINA
MISS WILMA ROUSE Spoke AT
CLINTON AVENUE CHURCH.

Miss Wilma II. Rouse, who is travelling
through the United States in the interest
of foreign missions, gave very interest
ing talk at the Clinton Avenue M. e.
church last evening. A few of the most
important statements made by her were
that the foreign missionery work is get
ting along better in China than ever was
expected, and that 1t is spreading a
great deal faster than 1t can be taken
care Of. She spoke at length of some of
the peculiarities of the Chinese, and In
timated that they were the most moral
Of any foreign people. She also said
that the missionaries killed in China
are not killed because Of the gospel they
preach, but because they are foreigners,
and the Chinese are aware Of the fact
that there have been more Chinese killed
in America by rioters than there have
been Americans killed in China In the
same way.
Miss Rouse has been connected with
the Foreign Missionery society work in
Ku Chung, China, for five and a half
years, and worked mostly among the
women and children. She has spent the
past week in Minneapolis, and has met
with good success.
She will hold a number of parlor talks

EFFR|ES' VIEW OF HIZ
SAYS ALL OF THEM ARE
AFRAID OF THE RED-TOP
FIGHTER
BEST ONE OF THE HEAvIEs
But the Champion Thinks He Could
Score Another Victory over the
IimRru Blacksmith iR
They Met.

CHICAGO, April 1-''They are all
afraid of Fitzsimmons, and. to tell the
truth | would rather fight ten Sharkeys,
dozen Corbetts, and all the McCoys You
could bring before me than fight Fitz
again"
This was the rather remarkable asser-
ton made yesterday by Champion James
j. Jeiries. He was drawn, much against
his viii, into discussion of the Eastern
fighting situation as it related to the
fighters of the heavyweight division, but,
after getting started on the subject, he
talked volubly.
The champion arrived in the morning
from Kansas City. where he had given
an exhibition bout with his brother, Jack,
and Tommy Ryan, who spared with
Farmer Burns, the Iowa wrestler, who
is pretty handy with the gloves.
JJetfries was asked what he thought was
the trouble with Fitzsimmons, and why
the Comishman could not get on any
matches that could be made to stick
This Is Jeffries' idea of the situation:
Mccoy knows in his heart that he cam
not beat titzsimmons Sharkey would as
soon be dropped into bear pit I will
not say about Rubin, but I guess the
big fellow would take a chance, for he
has never felt the might of that freckled
fst of Bo~Ss. / am satisfied none Of them

cares bit about Fitzsimmons game.
They do not think they can beat him,
land have a fear that he may wind them
UP in harry as he can do
FITz BEST OF HEAvYWEIGHTs.
AS for myself: would make another
match with Fitzsimmons, for 1 whipped
him once, and think can do It again.
8ut l Will say in all truthfulness that I
u.Rk today he is the hardest man to
whip In the heavyweight division.
~ ou may figure that L whipped him in
less than half the time of my fight with
Sharkey, but let me tell you, or remind
you, rather, that fighting form is not al
ways followed out in the prize ring. l
was not the fighter the night 1 fought
Sharkey at Coney Island that | was the
night l knocked out Fltzsirnmens My
left arm was practically useless when I
met Sharkey the second time.
When l fought Fitzsimmons I was
able to use my left to such good advan-
tage that good judges have told me since
land the statements are borne out by re-
marks made by Julian and others con-
hected with the Fitzsimmons party-that
had Fitz beaten when / knocked him
down with a straight left in the nose in
the second round.
Il think l could whip Fltzsimmens
again-in fact, I am almost certain
could. But I would rather meet Corbett
or SharlSey or Mccoy or Rubin, or some
body else who can command backing and
be a drawing card
The champion had to smile little at
his own confession of a wholesome re-
spect for the red-topped glove battler
Yes, l think pretty well of Fitzsim-
MONS he continued. when he lands
1t is apt to be a knockout punch, and
that is true of either hand Sharkey
never can whip me, because he cannot
land on me right. Swingers are out of
date as championship possibilities. And
Sharkey is essentially a swinger of pro-
nounced type
ABILITY OF THE CORNISHMAN.
ut is the man who can get in close or
stay out at long range and cut a man

simmons is past master in the art of

spite of the difference in the weights
FitzsimmOns is a far stronger man than
Sharkey. l figure that out because Fitz-
