D1scoRD WITH RUSSIA
Received With Regret by the Au-

Received With Regret by the Au-
thoriHes in Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 26-The off,
cials here receive with regret and con-
cern tho reports from Che Foo that dis
cord existed between the Russians and
the so-called Anglo-Americans. Com
ing from the officers Of the Terrible, 1t
IS considered as largely sailor talk"
At the same time 1t has been recognized
from the outset that such u heterogen-
Gus force gave opportunities for serious
division, as 1t is well known that the
sailors and soldiers Of certain countries
do not Ike to serve under British COM
manders and that British sailors and
soldiers have the same Discrimination to
take orders from a foreign superior.
But 1t has been hoped that the peril Of
the moment would lead Nil differences
to be sunk in order that common pur-
pose might be executed against COM
mon enemy.
Separate Into Factions.
One OF the chief dangers apprehendsd
has been that the foreigners would sep
arate into factions, not only reducing
their power against the Chinese, but
opening up the more serious possibility
Of an international breach between the
forces of the foreign powers. Besides
this, It is felt here that the Russian au-
thoritles, always sensitive, will quickly
resent this Imputation Of baTbarlsm and
cruelty. The officials here accept these
charges with great allowance. and they
particularly express their dIsPleasure
at having the Americans brought into
an apparent disruption With the forces
of another power. Thus far the Unitsd
States has acted concurrently with all
the powers, with no one more than any
other, and the authorities here will use
every effort to control and prevent bick-
erings and back-bitings.

HTZ QUITS THE RING.
Can't Get a Fight Within the
Horton Law
so SETTLES THE DILEMMA
By Leaving, With Jefries'
Title UnchaIIenged.

| New York, Aug. 27.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons tonight announced his retirement
! from the pugilistic ring. He made an in
efectua j attempt today to get on a
match for the heavyweight champion
ship with James ]. Jeffries, to take place
before the Horton law expires, at mid
night next Friday. and tonight issued the
following statement:
Il am through with fighting. I will re-
tire from the ring and will not claim the
championship from Jeffries. I am ready
and on edge to meet him Friday night,
as his manager suggested ten days ago,
but, as he claims he is no condition to
fight on that night, 1 am through with
him and with the ring. Henceforth there
will be one man less in the heavyweight
division, for 1 will go out with the Hor-
ton law"
Fitzsimmons, with his manager, Percy
Williams, met William A. Brady, repre-
senting Jeffries, this afternoon Last
Saturday Fitzsimmons deposited $500 to
bind a match between himself and jeff
ries for next Friday night and Brady
, sent word that he would meet Fitzsim-
n ons to arrange for a battle between
Je fries and the ex-heavyweight cham
pio I. Fitzsimmons said he was ready
and willing to meet Jeffries on Friday
nigh before the Twentieth Century club
undei any conditions as to the division
Of the purse or gate receipts which would
suit b -ady. He said he would be salts
fed for the winner to take all or to split
the plzrs in half or to give per cent
TO the u inner, or per cent to the loser,
or, in IA ct, any terms possible so that
he COULD meet the present champion be-
fore the expiration of the Horton law.
Brady, irt reply, said that Jeffries was in
no condfti on, as he haG quit training sew
trail days ago and it would be unfair to
force a ma tch with a man physically I'M
fit for such a fight. Fitzsimmons replied
that Jeffries had had plenty of tim@, to
get into cond ition and said that although
he had gone through two very severe
battles during the last two weeks he was
one edge and r saGy TO fight to regain the
Brady said it was impos-
sible for a fight TO take place between
and Jeffries on the date
mentioned but tha,t he would put up for
felt at once to bird a match between
the two. the fight TO take place within
three months from September 1. and a
side bet of $4,000. Fitzsimmons would
not listen to this proposition and de-
clared that it was only made for adver-
Using purposes.

ALMOST ANY OLD TERMS
Nicaragua VIII Accept Rather Than
Lose the Canal

New York, Aug. 25.-General P. Alex
ander, who was appointed by President
Cleveland arbitrator in the boundary dis
pute between Nicaragua and Costa RIGA,
has just returned from those countries On
the completion of his mission. An inter
esting feature Of General Alexander :
work lay in the fact that his labors on
the boundary questions were the cause
of a close survey of the line of the pro-
posed Nicaragua canal. He said he did
not think the commission now preparing
a report would advise a new route. While
disclaiming definite knowledge on the
subject he was inclined to think that a
proposition from the Nicaraguan govern
ment to ours had already been made. He
believer that rather than not have the
canal built, the Nicaraguan government
would accept almost any terms made by
the United States.
