- San Francisco. November 26.-Frank
 Erne oi Buffalo lost his hold on the
 worlds white lightweight champion ship in his contest with Young Jimmy
 Britt of this city who knocked Erne
 out in the seventh round at the Me
 chanics pavilion tonight. The contest
 was the fastest ever witnessed in this
 city. Britt. while rot so clever as the
 Buffalo man. was the more aggressive
 and landed the most telling blows. The
 men went at it from the sound Of the
 bell in the first round and for nearly
 seven rounds it was d nip and tuck contest between them. Britt proved himself far the cleverer in the clinches
 and never missed a chance to use his
 right or left to advantage.
 The eastern lad showed his superior
 geneTalship in many tight places and
 kept Britt off with straight lefts during
 the early part of the battle and later in the contest discovered that he could uppercut the Californian successfully.
 On one or two occasions he had the San Francisco boy at disadvantage.
 Erne was in bad plight several
 times but fought back with superb gameness and succeeded in keeping the Californian off at most critical periods. Tn only one round did Erne have de- cided advantage. the fifth. Erne in this round landing a slight left on Britt's jaw and following it up with terrific right to the heart. He contin-
 ued to play for the Californians pump ing organ and at the close had his youthful adversary in an almost grOg- gy condition.
 In the sixth round both men fought furiously. Britt trying to regain the
 ground he lost in the last half of the preceding round and endeavoring to secure a decided lead over Britt. The latter played for the Buffalo boy 5 stomach and heart, and during the last half minute of the round placed his left on Erne's solar pleXus. Britt fought himself to Q standstill, and both men went to their corners in a groggy con- dition, but the terrific punishment ad- ministered by Britt was not to be over come by the minutes rest preceding
 the seventh round. and when Erne stepped to the center of the ring in | what proved to be the final round 1t was seen that he was almost gone. Britt was not blind to his advantage and rushed at his man, landing terrific | lefts to the body and rights to the face and head. A left uppercut caught Erne
 in the solar plexus and he went down | for a count of seven, but his dominant

 STILL ECHOING
Street Car. Workers Blamed fer Break
 ing Up the Strike.

Havana, November 26.-With the eX- ception of the cigar makers all classes Of laborers returned to work this morn ing, and business generally has resum- ed normal conditions. The cigar mak- CTS still have a few minor points under discussion.
 The authorities had begun to think that there was no fear of a further dis turbance, but there still remains q feel ing of animosity in the hearts of some of the more demonstrative strikers against the motormen and car conduc- tors, who are blamed for breaking up the general strike by their refusal to gC out. Threats were made during the afternoon in outlying wards to do these men injury, and these menaces cuimin- ated at dark this evening in an assault upon several cars.
 Shots were fired from housetops in Bclascoain street, and one motorman and two passengers were shot, the mo- torman being fatally injured. All the rural guards with the exception of those in the Columbia district. were summoned to duty in Havana The streets through which cars are running are patrolled by the guards. and two companies of artillery are stationed in the arsenal and treasury building ready to assist the police. though it is not thought that there will be any fur ther disorder.

AN OMAHA FIRE.
Destroys $175,OO0 Worth of Property
 for the Union Pacific.

Omaha, Neb.. November 26.-Fire which started at midnight completely destroyed Storehouse No. 2 of the Union Pacific railroad. together with its contents and several freight cars. most of which were loaded with sup plies. Purchasing Agent George W. Griffith said the building contained fully s15O.OOO worth of stores, most of which were castings, iron pipe and oth- CT heavy material, all of which is rem dered useless. The building is burned to the ground and is complete loss which brings the total loss to Sl75, ,0O0.
 Officials oi the railroad cypress the belief that the fire was incendiary.
 The fire started in the north end of the building and a general alarm brought the most of the city depart ment to the place. The Union Pacific firemen had already arrived and the united efforts of the two departments were required 10 keep the fire from spreading. The pressure was insufi- cient for a time and the firemen were handicapped, but managed to confine the flames to the storehouse.

carly today by the tug Edna G.
 The Wallace. towing the Ashland, both laden with iron ore, left Superior last night bound for Cleveland. When thirteen miles south by east from this port the stern pipe of the steamer was broken, water at once beginning to pour into her hold. The crew soon saw that their ship was doomed and took to the lifeboat, reaching the Ashland without mishap.
 The Ashland burned distress signals. which were responded to by the tug Edna G., which towed the vessel into port. Then the tug returned and made a long search for the abandoned steamer, with the hope of towing the wreck into shallow water before it went down. No trace. however. could be found of the derelict and it is be- lieved it went to the bottom soon after the crew had saved themselves. The lost steamer was owned by James Cor ligan of Cleveland, and was built in 1882. She measured 1.1S9 tons and was valued at about S4O00O.

THE CLOSING SCENE
 IN THE CORE TRAGEDY
The Imposing Funeral of the Dead
 Artist.

Paris, November 26.-The Ellen Gore drama reached a fitting climax today in the mOurnfully picturesque funeral at the American church in the Rue de Berri. The occasion was marked by a notable demonstration of sympathy, not only on the part of the Americans but by the French middle cl@sses, art ists and other habitues of the Latin quarter. At o'clock in the afternoon the street in front of the church was packed with students in unique cos tunes and as the cortege approached they uncovered their heads. The hearse was preceded by a uniformed function ary wearing a blue sash and a cooked hat.
 The hearse was hung with black and bore the monogram of the deceased. The oak casket was covered with a pail. It was followed by three state car rlages, but excepting the first they were empty. The first carriage was occupied by M. Paquet, representing Consul Gen eral GOwdy. There were no pail bearers and no mourners. The interior of the building was crowded, chiefly with wo- men. Artists filled the aisles. One of them stood sketching the scene.
 The casket rested on a high cata- 1alque in front of the altar and was covered by five superb wreaths, one of them being from MT. Gowdy. The others were from anonymous donors.
 The Rev. Dr. Thurber officiated.

Scranton. Pa November c6--Quite in contrast with the happy faces Of the indaDendent operators committee when it returned from New York last night were the Countenances of the miners representatives when they re- turned today from their disappointing trip to Washington.
 How the latter view the sudden and surprising turn of affairs is well set forth fn a statement issued this after noon by Messrs. Darrow and Lloyd. the miners attorneys. who accompanied Mir Mitchell to Washington. They clearly indicate that they think the coal road presidents acquiesced in MT. MacVeagh's plan of Q settlement out of court and then repudiated him. The allegation that c. F. Baer signed the telegram to Chairman Gray of the com mission, declaring that the big com panies were agreeable to the idea of an amicable adjustment and that the same man signed the telegram to MT. MacVeagh in Washington calling off the negotiations, is made in the state ment.'
 The statement is as follows: Tine commission adjourned for ten days in pursuance of an arrangement between the parties to give an opportunity for COnciliatiOn on account of a telegram which we understand was written by George F. Baer, in the presence of and with the consent of every railroad con- Cerned, and was signed by Wayne Mac Veagh. This telegram was written after a careful reading or the tentative agreement which had been prepared . and written by counsel of both parties and which had been submitted to the Commission. At the request Of MT NacVeagh, Mir. Mitchell, MT. Darrow and MT. Lloyd went went to Washing ton to consult upon some minor details of the agreement.

A FALSE HEART.
Coffee Does Not Let It Beat True.

Coffee Does Not Let It Beat True.
 "Ccftee served me a very hard turn about two years ago. My doctors said had chronic dyspepsia with serious heart and nervous trouble and nothing would cure me unless I gave up coffee. said Miss Hattie Williams of Birming- ham, Ala.
 My stomach got SO bad that I could not eat any solid food without it's nau- seating me. and I was so nervous l could not sleep and my heart was in a dreadful condition. I had heard a great deal about Postum Food Coffee and how much good people had derived from changing from coffee to Postum. SO one day I sent to the grocer for a package.
 The first cup I drank helped me. for 1t removed all the gas from my stom- ach, or perhaps the quitting of coffee produced that result, at any rate. in less than a week there was a wonder ful change; 10 more restless nights: no more pains around my heart that made me think I had heart trouble; no more sick stomach. This was two years ago. l am now entirely well and Postum cured me. I found it was not medicine | needed but proper food and nourishment and to quit coffee entirely My brother-in-law Ca coffee drinxer) was very sick with stomach trouble and all he could eat was the white of an egg. I insisted on his trying Pos tum. He said the first cup he drank soothed his stomach and was nourish- ing; in a few days he was able to eat solid food again, and now he uses il altogether and does not use coffee. | My next door neighbor, another coffee | drinker, had suffered with catarrh ot the stomach, and for months could not eat anything-was just living on bee1 | tea. l carried her some Postum anC gave her directions for making it anc now she can eat anything she want. and it does not hurt her. She says sh,
 feels better than she has for ten years
 I could tell you of dozens Of people
 who have been benefited by leaving of
 coffee and drinking Postum. It ha:
 done re so much good I tell everybody
 to use it. I have been using it now fo | two years and my digestion is fine, m!

MT. Tawney on the Congressmen's
 Declarations for Cannon.

Winona, Minn., November 26.-In speaking this afternOn concerning the speakership situation, Congressman James A. Tawney made the claim that the election oE Joseph G. Cannon Is now assured. Concerning newspaper criticism of the action of Minnesota congressman, MT. Tawney said:
 "The fact that all these delegations met and decided to support Cannon at about the same time ought to satisfy some of our newspaper editors that the delegation from this state, if it was to have any influence in the organiZa- tion of the next house, did not, as they claimed at the time, act too hastily.
 Tt i mistake to suppose that the speaker Of the house of representatives has it i1 his power to prevent the carrying out of any party policy. No matter what MT. Cmnon's individual views may be respecting tariff revision, he could not prevent the execution of an opposite policy if ,44e president and the representatives in both houses of | congress should agree on it. It is within the power of the representatives of the party in the executive and legis- lative branches of the government and not within the power of the speaker to determine the party policy and execute | it."
