MEDICINE FROM THE PALACE.

1 Solicitude of the Emperor When Li ! Hung Chang Was III Twelve Years
 Ago.
 An issue of the Pekin Gazette in 1889 that Ii Hung Chang had caught se- we're cold which affected the muscles of his face and produced great thirst and redness of the eyes. He first obtained twenty days leave from his official du- ties and subsequently, two extensions of a month each on which occasions the Emperor expressed great solioitude for his health and urged him to procure the best medical aid available. The Ga zette continues:
 "Prince Chun, the Prime Minister, sent him twenty pills, which had been specially prepared in the palace, one of which was to be taken every day before food, Externally he applies a lotion to dry his tears and internally he takes medicine to promote circulation. Ii ex- presses himself profoundly grateful for the many tokens of sympathy which he has received from the throne and as- sures the emperor that nothing is fur ther from his intention than to take his east at such moment as the present.
 Though he has been on leave so long he is daily occupied in transacting business and has often forgotten to take his food until after the going down of the sum- All through the stiffness of the night his mind has been troubled with the thought that his sickness might cause some miscarriage of public business"
 The Gazette added that the Emperor had read this report and written after it with his own hand:
 we have carefully perused the above and must again urge upon the patient to be still more careful in sparing him. self anxiety and labor and to continue a course of medical treatment in the hope

distress, but with Ruhlin the more wor- ried of the two.
 Round 4-After a short exchange at close quarters Ruhlin landed on the face. He was forced back and Jeffries smiled as Ruhlin again rebuked him.
 Jeffries landed a left blackening Gus, left eye, then pursued him, fighting at short range and plainly wearing his man down. Ruhlin lacked aggressive ness and retreated as Jeffries swung left and right and missed. Gus led for the face and Jeff pushed him across the ring. Then the champion walked Gus across the ring again and landed fierce left on his jaw. Ruhlin shot out intellectual lefts Jeff waded in, whal- ing Ruhlin left and right. Gus went down and took the count. He came up apparently weak and the gong saved him. Ruhlin was plainly in the great est distress when the round closed. This round was much in Jeffries' fla vor.
 Round 5-Ruhlin wore distressed expression when he came up. Jeffries went in with straight arm blows, but was blocked. Jeffries landed a right hook to the jaw and a short left to the ribs and then went again to the neck with right. A volley followed this in which the champion leased Gus with lefts to the face. Ruhlin ducked and retreated slowly. Jeffries followed the advantage up and bored in, touch- ing Ruhlin beneath the chin with his right and forcing him to the ropes, af- ter which Gus went to the floor and at the count of five staggered to his feet. He ceased fighting and Jeffries went in for a knockout. Ruhlin was utterly dazed and made wild swings while Jeffries threw him against the ropes. In the last minute of the round Ruhlin attempted to stop lead lead for the head and he was forced back and struck squarely in the pit of the stomach. Jeffries was going at him very fiercely and when the gong sounded Ruhlin was assisted to his corner. It looked then as if the fight was practically end ed. Ruhlin gave every appearance of being distressed. He said something to Billy Madden and then Denver" Ed Martin walked to the center of the ring and hailed Referee Corbett. We give up' said Martin and the fight was over.

The Fight by ROnn da.

The men were to break at order of
 the referee. Time was called at 9.37.
 The fight was then waged as follows:
 Round 1-Ruhlin led for head and
 landed lightly with the left. They clinched Both men were cautious. Jeffries' left went around Ruhlin's head, but no damage resulted. Jeffries tap ped Gus lightly on the head with his left. The latter ceverly tucked light left. .Jeffries upper cut Ruhlin to the jaw with his left. Jeffries landed a left on the body but missed another for the head Ruhlin countered with his left. Jeffries swung again, but missed. Gas blocked left jab for the face. Jeffries esayed a left for the body, but the Ohio man got out of harms way. Jeffries was smiling. The round was tame, with the champion having a slight ad- vantage.
 Round 2-They clinched. Ruhlln was hooked around the neck with a left He accused Jeffries of foul fighting The Akron man then shot in his right and found Jeffries' ribs, following this up with an intellectual left swing for the head. Jeffries waXed aggressive Ruh- lin planted a right and left to the face, then rushed, landing on the body The champion led wit the left and was countered Ruhlin found Jeff's head and in a short exchange neither had the advantage. The men fought at close range, Gus again landing on Jeff ries face and stoppin gthe latter's at tempt at retaliation with strong right Ruhlin feinted with his right and shot a straight left on Jeff's nose, but the blow was partially blocked. The men were wrestling when the round closed This was decidedly Ruhlin's round
 Round 2The men came up strong and Ruhlin shot in with right and d left, which were stopped. Jeffries el- bowed his way back and finally caught the Akron man with a terrific left to the neck. Jeffries pursued Gus and swung with both hands. Vn rush Jeffries landed weak on the bond sev- eral times. Ruhln again appealed to the referee Gus feinted and came back with an intellectual shotr arm Jeffries easily held the advan- tage with Gus constantly complaining. The men closed in several times, Ruh- lin fighting low and Jeff apparently locking for a chance for q knock out punch. Jeffries retreated about the ring until the spectators hissed him. The round closed with neither man in

in day that year by selling all they
 could get hold of at the high market
 price. It Is known that those men : cleared up $4,000,000 that season, while l the graspers after a $2 market were ruined.
 An odd thing about hop speculation l was the indifference with which specu- lators treated hops on a low market. For instance, when the price would be
 10 cents, no one seemed to see any point in tying up the crop and holding it. but let the market go to 30 cents, and then the craze to buy would seize the specu- lators and they couldn't buy them fast enough. Why hops should be a bar gain at 30 cents and not at 10 cents was f.something no one not in the hop deal
 could ever understand
 There are hundreds of men in the
 business to-day who have been in it for 30 years and more, growing largely,
 and always on the alert, who are no better off than when they began, al- though many of them have made for tune after fortune and lost them again by unwise holding of their crops for the sure prices that never came.
 "On the other hand, there are hum dreds of others who have not made their crops the plaything of chance but have been content to go slow, bas- ing their transactions on the fact that
 pound of hops could be put on the market at a cost of 10 cents, and never failed to sell their crops at the first fair margin of profit that offered. Growers such as these have frequently been subject to the aggravating thought, after selling their crops for perhaps 25 or 30 cents, that if they had held on to it a few weeks longer they might have doubled their money as their neighbors did, but, unlike these neighbors, they have never been trou- bled by the reflection, after turning out their long held hops as bedding for their horses, that they might have sold them at a good profit if they had let them go at the offer of month before. These conservative men are the people to-day who have fortunes due to hop growing, and will be the last to aban- don the vineyards that have so long been the glory of the hills and valleys of central New York"
 The hop crop, while perhaps not more than half or three quarters of an aver age one, is superior in quality this year.-Oneonta (N. Y.) Letter in New
 York Sun.

I certainly had no difficulty in whipping him, and had the light gone on the result must have been the same Ruhlin was inaccu- rate and ip poor wind and I cannot say that he even had the courage and force expected to encounter in him.

 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 stated:

HOP GROWING IN NEW YORK
DECLINE OF 4 F4MED CROP IN s>
 THAT STATE.
The Days When Fortunes Were Won

and Lost In ipecI,atih; |. H,It.
 The glory of the hop vineyards is
 gone. For two or three seasons it has
 been noticed that hop farmers here and
 there were pulling up their vines, plow-
 ing up the vineyards and planting them to other crops but hop growers gener-
 ally affected to believe that this was
 simply whim which would pass in two or three seasons. Time instead of proving this theory, has enlarged the area of the abandoned vineyards, until the acreage in hops in the once famous
 hop-growing district, including the counties of Otsego, Madison and Oneida, is estimated to have decreased
 a quarter or third in five years. In the collateral hop growing districts of Schoharie, Herkimer, Montgomery and Fulton counties and parts of the up- per Catskill country the reduction is in much larger proportion.
 The fact of the matter is, there is no longer money in hop-growing in this state. The vast vineyards of the Pa cific slope, owing to the favorable con- ditions of climate soil and labor have made it next to impossible for the cen- tral New York grower to compete with them in the general markets. The soil of the Oregon and Washington valleys is new and rich with every quality for growth and ripening, that the hop re- quires. The climate is without the meteorological dangers that ever threaten eastern vines. Moreover, the land is cheap. Ten acres of superior hop soil may be had in the Pacific slope region for the price of one acre in the Mohawk belt. Then labor is much cheaper there. Thus the grower of hops on the Pacific slope has the advantages of certainty, quantity and quality of crop with economy in producing it, and as New York growers are coming to recognize, it is not much short of folly for the eastern growers to endeavor to remain in the field against them.
 It is beginning to be believed that the hon farmer of New York state is not far from being in the position of the New York state wheat and barley grower. The latter once supplied a large proportion of the demand for those grains, the wheat of the Genesee valley and the barley of Ontario, Sene- ca, Yates and Steuben counties holding the lead in all markets then demand ing the best quality. When the great grain farms of the Northwest came into yield and the lines of transportation be- gan throwing that yield upon the mark ct the farmers of New York state were unable to compete with the stream of grain that poured in from the far Northwest. Potatoes, beans, onions and other crops that were once strangers to the rich Genesee flats and fertile areas of the contiguous counties have sue ceeded largely to the golden grain that once waved there.
 'The story of the hope vine," said a well informed citizen of Oneida coun- ty, Ifs written all over the central part of New York state, The boom in hop came just afte rthe civil war. There was an increased demand for hops, for in those days the brewers used hops in their beer Money was plenty, and the hop crop brought large returns. The result was that hundreds of farm

CHICAGO MEN REFUSE
TO JOIN The STRIKERS

Chicago. Aug. 15.-There will be no
strike of the employees at the steel
mills in South Chicago. This point
was settled last night when the men
refused to reconsider the action taken
on Saturday night, at which time they
decided to stand by their contracts
with the mills and refused to join the
strikers. After they had declined to
reconsider last night Assistant Sec
retary NJ. F. Tighe, of the Amalga-
mated Association. who came 70 Chi
cago with the intention of securing a
revocation Of the action of Saturday
night, If possible. declared that he re.
voked the charters of both lodges of

South Chicago mills and declared the
men outside of the organization. The
men greeted his announcement with

+. Tighe and come out they would be
expelled from the Amalgamated Asso-
citation and their offers OF financial as
sistance spurned.
Rumor again yesterday settled the
strike and lent a hand to restart the
stllled mills of commerce. II was re-
lated that President Shaffer has ack-
nowledged that he could not win, that
the steel corporation feared that its
rivals would profit by an extended
strike. and that they were going to
settle. No shadow of confirmation OF
the story was possible.
The spread Of the strike at MoKees-
port and Wheeling has brought the
number of men who answered the fnal
strike order to something over 10000
and increased the total number of men
rendered idle by the three orders to
about $4,000. The strikers are fully in
control at McKeesport, Wheeling, New
Castle, Bellaire, Mingo Junction, and
shows some strength here. The manu-
facturers hold South Chicago. Bayview,
