made a mistake by not stopping contests

manifest to all that one of the contestants
had no possible chance of winning" He
cited the Jeffries-Sharkey bout. which, he
said. should have been stopped at the end
of the twenty-third round, as IL became
brutal after that and Sharkey had no

A VERDICT FOR MRS. EDDY.
Judge Bell Ruled That No Case Had
Been Made Out.

BOSTON, June 5.--The trial of Mrs. Jo-
sephine Curtis Woodbury's libel suit
for $l5O,OoO damages against Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy came to an abrupt end
this afternoon when Judge Bell ordered
the jury to return a verdict for Mrs. Ed
dy as the plaintiff had not made out a
case.
The plaintiff rested shortly after noon.
Counsel for Mrs Eddy then made two
motions-flrst. that the counts in the dec
laration (complainD relative to pub
lications of the alleged Hbelous message
in the Christian Science Journal and
sentinel be stricken out. and. second
(the usual formal notion. that verdict
be ordered for the defendant.
Mr.. Elder argued the motions for the
defence. He contended that because Mrs.
Eddy had relinquished the detailed super
vision of the publication of the Christian
Science Journal" and the Sentinel it
could notbe held that she was responsible
for any particulararticlepu published in these
periodicals. On the second motion,
namely, that to order a verdict for de-
fendant, Mr.. Elder said that there was
no evidence that Mrs. Eddy intended Mrs.
Woodbury. in her annual message on June
4, 1899, when she referred to the Baby
lonish woman" and for that reason he
thought the plaintiff had not made out
any case that the defence should be
called upon to rebut.
After Mr. Peabody had replied, Judge
Bell said:
1T seems to me that the plaintiff has
not made out her case, because the words
alleged to be libelous in Mrs Eddy's mes
sage do not sufficiently identify Mrs
Woodbury."
The judge then directed the jury to re-
turn a verdict for the defendant.
''We file an exception. your honor"
said Mr. Peabody. as he packed his grip
with the papers in all of Mrs. Woodbury's
cases against other Christian Scientists.
The jury returned the verdict as ordered
by Judge Bell, and the spectators filed
out of court.

TONS OF POWDER BURNED.
Flames in Mare Island Magazine
Cause No ExpIosion


! VALLEJO. Cal. June 5.-The Govern
ment's largest and most valuable powder
magazine at Mare Island was destroyed
! by fire today. entaling Il loss of 200 tons
| of brown and smokelcss powder, valued
! at a quarter of million dollars. No eX-
! plosion occurred ana no one was injured
BY the great efforts of the navy yard
hose companies, assisted by the Southern
Pacific steamer FL Captain, five buildings
nearby, stored with fixed ammunition,
were saved II is supposed that nitro
Pow der in the magazine took fire through
chemical action. This is the only theory
that can explain the fact that no eNplo-
sion occurred.
The first information Of the fire was re-
ccived at the office of the yard captain
from a watchman, who reported at
o'clock this morning that smoke was issu-
ing from the naval magazine on the eX-
tremfty fthe island. All the fire fighting
machinery in the navy yard was quick
Iy sent to the scene.
When the advance guard OF the fire
fighters reached the Ilacc the top of the
magazine was seen to raise and fall to
one side, evidently forced out by gases
generated by the heat. The whole build
ing was soon in flames, but the high eX-
plosives in the magazines continued to
burn with no other sound that the crack
ling of flames
There was not even much smoke after
the roof blew of. In the magazine We're
300 tons of smOkeless powder and a large
quantity of high power shells of the kind
used in the big guns of battleships. The
magazine was constructed in 1887 at
cost of several hundred thousand dollars.
1t was the largest on the island and con-
tanned most expensive Government explo-
siveS
Great credit is due to Admiral Miller.
Captain Forsyth, Colonel Harrington, and
Captain Phelps, who were prompt in ar
irving at the scene and under their di-
rection the marines and the Mare Island
fire department fought to stay the pro-
gress of the fire from the other five build
ings, which are packed 20 their utmost ca
pacity with loaded ammunition.
Their efforts were finally successful and
the fire was kept within the walls of the
burning building. The Southern Pacific
steamer 5l Captain steamed across the
channel and started her pumps. and did
much toward assisting the Mare Island

A RUsso-JAPANEsE DEAL.
RumOr That the MiISndo May Soon
Acquire Port Arthur

VICTORIA, 3. c., June 5.-The steam
er Empress Of Japan brings copies of the
''Nagasaki Press which state that the
Russian military authorities at Vladivo-
stock have been advised officially from St.
Petersburg that the Russian Government
has made overtures to Japan offering the
latter the ports Of Dalny and Port Arthur
in the event of Japan offering no opposi-
tion to the acquisition by Russia of an
ice free port in Korea.
MasampO and Port Lazareff are men
toned. Building operations at Port Ar
thur and DaIny have been suspended by
the Russian Government. which is pre-
sumably awaiting Japans reply. That
Japan is preparing for a Russian move
in Korea would seem to be evidenced by
the fact that the army reserve is called
up.
News received from Siberia gives the
most distressing accounts of the great
famine which has overtaken the greater
part of western and central Siberia. Even
eastern Siberia, hitherto the most pros
porous part of the country. has been
overtaken by famine. The condition is
the consequence of too much rain.
