THE GATHERING CROWD
Hundreds Were Turned Away Before
 Nine O'clock.

Mechanics Pavilion, san Francisco Nov. -5.-Early In the afternoon a long line of anxious men assembled on the Larkin street side of the pavilion and held weary vigil in a drizzIiue rain until nightfall, when the sale of gal lery seats opened. Never in the history of San Francisco has there been such a crush of humanity at a pugilistic event Hardly had the sun dragged itself be- hind the hills toward the ocean before the great pavilion began to fill with the enthusiastic crowd which gathered to witness the championship contest
 Thousands poured into the gallery when the doors were finally thrown open and long before the first pre- iminary was called the upper portion of the building was packed with spec tators. People came from all points be- tween Vancouver and Mexico. embrac- ing well-known state officials, mem bers of the judiciary and prominent sporting people. who early took posses sion of the high priced seats.
 Ruhlin arrived at the pavilion at S:15 and went to his dressing room. His arrival created q stir among the crowd He was accompanied by Billy Madden Denver Ed Martin, Charles Golf and Young Gibbs, who later appeared as his seconds. A canard was circulated in the pavilion that Jeffries had injured his hand, but the crowd refused to be- lieve it. the odds remaining unaffected JeHries arrived at the pavilion shortly after Ruhlin. The champion made his way to his dressing room attended by a detail of police. Only passive in terest was taken in the two pre- liminaries, but the great crowd waited anxiously for the big men to make their appearance. At Q o'clock the police stopped the sale or tickets and people were turned away. The capacity of the building had been reached
 The betting at the ringside just be- fore the men came on was to l. Some large bets were made After the pre- liminary matches, which were unim- portant. had been pulled off a score of workmen took positions around the myriad of lights ranged along the bor- der of great canopy above the ring. The operator of the kinetoscope adjust ed his machine and the fiashlight through the array of lamps proclaimed that all was in readiness for the pie lures. A moment later d burst of lime light of 250,000 candle power illuminat- ed the vast recesses of the pavilion Time was called at 9:37.

believed him strong and cautious up to the time he collapsed. I certainly had no difficulty in whipping him. Ruh- lin was inaccurate and in poor wind He took a stiff punch in the stomach in the fourth, which l presume gave him trouble
 When Ruhlin went to his dressing room he was followed by a very de- pressed retinue. The defeated man complained of no pain and moved about without assistance. He said: T be- lieved from the tap of the gong that I wouldSwin the fight, but as it pro gressed l was beaten down until 1 re- ceived a blow on the stomach which l must say was very low and which no living man could have survived. Jeff fries departed from the written rules and common regulations Of boxing when he threw himself upon me and wrestled rather than spared. l do be- lieve that had I not received the stom- ach punch which ended me in the fifth l would have born down Jeffries d few rounds later and beaten him as a mat ter of endurance. l am ready to fight him again and believe that in time | will have an opportunity of showing that can defeat him. That is all I can say"
 Jeffries declares that he is ready to meet Sharkey next month-
 In the opinion of James Kennedy and Jack Gleason of the Twentieth Century club, which brought off the fight Ruh- lin was drawn too fine and went to pieces because of his great zeal in training. Lou Houseman and George Siler. both of whom were at the ring side, together with George Harting, the official timekeeper for the club de- clared after the fight that RuhIin had been greatly oVerestimated, that his blows were weak and easily blocked and that he was positively without en- durance.
 in the throng after the fight placing the stigma of a fake affair on the manage ment, it is the concensus of opinion that Ruhlin is q great fighter only upon the bill-boards and that he fought d losing battle in order to obtain the short end of q generous purse. Boxing in San Francisco has not been helped by this event The city supervisors at the ringside tonight expressed great dissatisfaction and even went so far as to name a suspicion in their minds of q fistic swindle.
 It is estimated that there was some thing over S40,OGO realized at the box office. Of this 6215 per cent is divided into pruses of 75 and p per cent, which goes to the participants in tonight's event.

 The extreme heat from the powerful light over the ring made itself felt from the very beginning. but It was not as intense as that which hampered the Sharkey-Je Jeffries fight. Two minutes after the men entered the ring they were announced by Billy Jordan, who then presented Referee Harry Corbett

WHAT NEW YORK COSTS
Its Expenses Compared With
 Those of Other Cities
The Result of the Investigation Made by the National Bureau of Labor-Tammany's Profigacy.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Congress, by enactment in 1898. directed the com missioner of labor to make annual in vestigations into the statistics of the cities of the United States having a population of over thirty thousand, and to report the information gathered for the benefit of the general public. The work of the bureau of labor this year has just been completed. and the re port contains many interesting facts.
 New York city. under the manage ment of Tammany, has become the most profiigate municipal government in the country. The annual collections and disbursements by the city officials have increased until today they amount to nearly one-third of the total receipts and expenditures of the na- tional government. The expenses of the local government of New York city last year were more than seven times as great as the expenses of Chicago. and more than six and one-half times those of the city of Phiiadelphia. They were nearly twenty times greater than the expenses of St. Louis. and five and one-half times as muCn as those of the city of Boston.
 The total income Of New York city last year was s211. .O31317. divided as  year, including state taxes, s1O4, ,30T, ,Ss4 i; cash on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year, $1S,I75. 3of: receipts from loans made during the year. $S1 1,966. .12o. The total expenditures during the year. including loans repaid, amounted to S199 e15. .210 divided as follows: For construction and other capital outlay. other than loans repaid. S35, ,S60. .666; {; loans repaid, $55.Os1. .297; total. s90,9i1.- 963; for maintenance and operation. s1cS. .673.277; total, including loans re- paid. Sl96. .615, ,24O. The cash balance on hand at the end of the year amounted to S11,415.071.
 It costs more in proportion to the population of the city to run the New York municipal government than that of any other city in the entire country. Indeed. the cost of the government in proportion to the population is in strik- ing contrast with the cost of municipal government in the other large cities of the country. Chicago, with q populc- ton of near'5. enc half that of New York. speIfG 3AsJ Ss.eaf- only S1s.53s,Ss5 in the settlement of accounts. including S6. GOO 900 in liquidation of the city's ins debtedness. New York expended S90.- g41. .963 for construction and other capi- tai outlay, while Chicago expended s9.- 215.272 for the same purpose.
 Philadelphia. with q population of I293s97 people. a little more than one third of the population of New York, expended last year s3O. .62S. .246. less than one-sixth of the total expenditures of New York City. while St. Louis, with a population of 575, ,23S. expended only S1O 945. .54S. or one-nineteenth of the amount spent by the officials of the eastern metropolis.
