LAW IS AGAINST THEM
PROMOTERS OF THE JEFFRIEs-
RUHLIN FIGHT ARE IN TROUBLE.
They Expect to Receiv n Permit. but
1t May BE Only for n Sparring Ex-
hibitiOn, not u Regular "Mill."

CINCINNATI, JAM. 1.-THE directors of
the Saengerfest Athletic Association, of
Cincinnati, express the fullest determina-
ton tonight that the Jeffries-Ruhlin fight
will be pulled off here Feb. Is, but the pre-
ponderance of public sentiment is to the
contrary. While the ministers held an en-
thusiastic meeting to-day and the women's
clubs and other organizations. opposing the
fight, were unusually active, yet the con-
test now is between Mayor Fleischman and
the Saengerfest Athletic Association. Aft
er repeated conferences with their attor-
neys. these two elements finally met. To-
night the directors gave out the following:
THE members of the ~Saengerfest Athletic
Association Company to-day requested OF
Mayor Fleischman the immediate issuance
or a permit. The mayor declined to issue
the permit now. but reaffirmed his promise
and assured the mmi that he would
issue the permit two days before the date
OF the proposed contest. The directors Vet
hold that the contest can and will take
place In Cincinnati on Feb. 15."
Since Mayor Fleischman has been legally
advised that the fight for the championship
OF the world does not come within the in
tention OF the Ohio statutes for sparring
exhibitions under the auspices Of a bona fide
athletic club, it is understood thai the only
kind of a permit that he would give. even
two days in advance Of the fight, would be
one that would come under the Ohio law.
and let the directors take the chances I'm
proceeding under that permit.
In addition to the conferences to-day be-
tween the counsel there was an informal
meeting of members of the bar and an
opinion was sent to Mayor Fleischman,
signed by twelve leading attorneys, includ-
ing Judge Judson Harmon, who was attor-
ney general of the United States under the
Cleveland administration, and other ex-
judges, and notably John w. Warringer,
formerly one OF the most noted corporation
counsel. This opinion holds that for the
past twelve years the laws of Ohio have
been very severe against prize fights, the
only exception being for sparring exhibit
lions under the auspices of bona hde ath-
letic clubs. These attorneys hold that a
contest for the championship of the world
would not be held by any court 10 be a
sparring exhibition. and IL further points
out that the Saengerfest Athletic Club was
incorporated after the articles of agree
ment were signed by Jeffries and Rubin.
The attorneys Of the Evangelical Asso-
ciatfon, of this city. have a warrant ready
for the arrest OF Gus Rubin. who has an
engagement TO appear at the Irwin matinee
during the week while he Is I'm training

patches last night. makes IL a felony 10 be

and under this section the opponents of the
fight propose 10 begin with the prose-
cution of Rubin even to the extent OF TAX

VENEZUELA ARBITRARY.
Not Inclined to Heed Advice and Has
Therefore Been AdmOnfshed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE status of
the Venezuelan controversy has not been
improved by the latest negotiations be-
tween the United States and Venezuela, and
this government has demonstrated against
the seeming determination of the Venezuela
an authorities to take executive ~cognizance
of the asphalt rights. instead of leaving
them to the decision of the judicial branch.
The desire of this government from the
outset has been that the matter be left to
the court, and Ii has sought TO impress this
view upon the Venezuelan government, but
the latest advices have indicated to off,
Gals that Venezuela inclines TO take execu-
tive authority over the subject. The United
States has therefore demonstrated against
such exercise OF executive authority, and
there is the fullest belief that Venezuela
will not, under the circumstances. insist

matter out OF the hands OF the courts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE manufac-
turers of the country have imported moro
raw material for use in manufacturing in
the year 1900 than in any preceding year
In the history of our import trade. The
total material of foreign production import
ed in a crude condition during the year just
ended amounts to over s275. 600, 0OO. and If to
this is added the total of articles wholly
or partly manufactured for use as materials
in manufa curing the grand total of man
materials imported would
amount to over $3.50, 600. 0O0, or nearly As per
cent. of the total importations. This state
ment is based on eleven months detailed
figures already received by the treasury
Bureau CT Statistics, to which is added an
estimate for the twelfth month CDecember).
based on the figures Of the preceding
month. This statement puts the importa-
ton of raw material in the twelve months
ending with December, 1900, at S276, SIS, 600.
against s267. 439, 959 in 1899. s162, 172, 736 in 1896
and $160, 523, 494 in 1894. A comparison of 1899
and 1900 with preceding years shows an in
crease of over 80 per cent. in The importa-
ton of manufacturers materials in these
two years as compared with the entire
period from 1890 to 1898. and an increase of
nearly 20 per cent. as compared with the
years 1894 and 1896. Even the remarkable
fall in prices OF manufacturers materials
which has characterized the closing half OF
the year 1900 has not prevented the total
value of these materials imported in 1900
from exceeding that of 1899, though in two
articles-india rubber and silk-the figures
for 1900 show a reduction as compared with
1898.
The following table shows the value of
the importation of twelve principal articles
required for use in manufacturing in 1900,

figures for 1900 being estimated:
