About that time some one told him

he went in for it. In a short time a

from headaches. His hand was no

Aside from moderate buying for Red
Sea ports there has been little trade
in the export division of the cotton
goods market. Domestic purchases
are confined to Immediate require
ments as a rule, the finer grades alone
being ordered in advance. Consrva-
tism is still shown by sellers also, no
concessions being offered to stimulate
trade.
There was less activity in the spec
ulative markets for the leading ce-
reals, yet prices were fairly well MAIN
tanned. Cotton was irregular because
improved crop prospects acted in OPP
position to the brisk demand for con-
sumption. Finally the former influence
prevailed and quotations declined

STEEL DEVELOPMENT APPALS
THEM.

Commission Appointed by British
Iron Trade Association Makes Its
RepOrt-Not Only Do We Excel
But in Ideas, Methods and FaciIi-
ties of Operation the Americans
Are Far Ahead of Europe.
Washington, July 25.-The phenom-
email development of the iron and steel
industry of the United States led the
British Iron Trade Association to APP
point a commission last year to in
quire into the industrial conditions and
competition of the United States. The
report of that commission which has
been recently presented, is briefly re-
viewed by the London Commercial In
telligence, a copy of which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics. 1t says:
1T is indeed marvellous, and to
the British manufacturer and trader
IN some respects a most discouraging
story. The British Iron Trade Com
missions report gives details of the
mineral resources of the United States
as affecting that fundamental indus
try-the manufacture of iron and steel;
shows the extraordinary richness of
the principal fields of coal, iron ore,
and kindred minerals and demonstrates
by concrete examples, how the
natural lnventiVeness of the
American has enabled him to apply
to the operations of production
and distribution a wealth of original
| ideas and methods that are as yet lit
tie known in Europe. 1t is also made
| manifest how on land, on lake, on
river, and on canal, the American peo-
pie have applied their minds to the
solution of the conditions and prob
| lens of cheap transportation until
they nave at last attained a level of
rates and charges such as we have
hardly had any experience of on this
| side of the Atlantic. 1t is not, how
| ever, to be supposed that the triumphs
| or the American people in these mat
tiers have been achieved without ef-
| Tort. Much testimony is borne to the
| fact that in the conditions of organi-
| cation and administration, in their
| dealings with labor, in the confidence
| and enterprise with which they nave
| embarked on industrial operations of
great magnitude, in the efforts made
to adapt themselves to new conditions
in the. eagerness with which they have
endeavored to create new demands both
at home and abroad, and in the care
and attention given to the successful
cultivation of foreign markets, the
American people have labored siren
uously for many years, until labor,
ingenuity, and enterprise have become
their most distinguishing characters
tics. When one has appreciated all
that the Americans have done for
themselves, it is neither natural nor
reasonable to grudge them the sue
cess which has attended their labors."

blood-covered features, sent a left
swing and landing a hard one on the

on the head. Fitzsimmons missed a
right and took stiff punch on the
body. Jeffries forced the fighting at
this stage, crouching low and carrying
his right high and left far back They
came together and clinched. AS Fitz-
simmons stepped back he smiled and
spoke to Jeffries, and before he could
get out of the reach Jeffries quickly
hooked his left to the stomach, follow

simmons went down on his back. He
came up slowly. Before he could get
up on both feet the referee counted
ten and the fight was over.

ries at Coney Island he weighed 156
pounds.
AS Fitzsimmons has not weighed in
the presence of any outsider recently
his exact weight is problematical.
Jeffries according to Delaney
weighed 215 pounds this afternoon.
These figures might be stated al
about 21S pounds at the ringside.
The preliminary was ended by 9:35
p. M, by Foley knocking Barry out
in the eleventh. Immediately the
crowd became impatient, and there
was a good deal of stirring about and
visiting among the well known char
acters at the ringside. The appear
ance of about a dozen women in one
party caused momentary furry. They
took seats in box directly back OF
the press row. A
Well Known Men Present.
The makeup of the crowd was un-
usual. There was practically perfect
order. The bench and bar of San
Francisco, as we'll as other professional
life, was we'll represented. Large dele
cations from interior California cities,
including Los Angeles, Jeffries' home;
Bakersfield, Stockton and Fresno oc-
cupied large blocks of seats. The Los
Angeles party was especially large,
among them being many well-known
men from the southern part of the
state.
A conservative estimate of the
amount realized from the ticket sales
places the sum at $4,000.
The Fighters Appear.
At 1905 Bob Fitzsimmons stepped
into the ring, carrying his gloves and
dressed in long, light blue bath robe.
Fnl1n4Niner him Clark Rail a nh
Griffin, George Dawson and a bottle
holder.
1906 Jeffries stepped into the ring,
dressed in a long overcoat, pants, a
sweater and a Panama hat About
him were Billy Delaney, Joe Egan, Joe
Kennedy and George Miller. Jeffries
walked up and inspected Fitzsim-
mons bandages, passing them without
comment. Both men were given a
warm reception.
Fitzsimmons first took the northwest
corner, but moment later moved to
the northeast and finally to the south
east corner. The champion took the
northwest.
Jim Corbett sent a challenge to fight
the winner. This was received with
applause, but moment later the an
nouncement that Sharkey had sent a
challenge was greeted with jeers. /.
The men finally chose corners, Fitz-
simmons taking the northwest and
Jeffries the southwest.
F'itzsimmons wore bandages on both
hands. Jeffries wore no bandages.
Fitzsimmons took his stool and sat
quietly chewing gum. He looked we'll,
slightly older than when he last fought
in San Francisco, but much the same
otherwise.
The announcer stated that the for
felt money had been returned to the
principals and the club.
Jeffries looked confident and sat in
his corner chewing gum, while the
little preliminary announcements were
being made. Fitzsimmons donned his
gloves, which were a light maroon.
Jeffries were very dark red.
Ben Solomon was time keeper for the
club. Edward Wheeler for F'ftzsim-

Wouldn't Endorse" Bryan.

Richmond Times.
The Democratic Convention of Illinois
refused to re.afirm the Kansas City plat.
form. This was not because the delegates
disapproved the whole platform or the
greater part of it, but because that plat
form contained plank declaring for the
free unlimited coinage of free silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one, and some other
planks of Mr.. Bryan's peculiar fashioning.
The inference is fair and the conclusion
is irresistible that this convention was un-
willing to put itself in the attitude of
approving Bryan or Organism. Two
Democratic Conventions have now refused
to approve Mr.. Bryan and the peculiar
political doctrines for which he stands,
and it Is to be hoped that the conventions
which are to come will follow these
illustrious examples.
Mr.. Bryan has twice led the party to
defeat, and worse than that, bis leader.
ship resulted in decentralization and dis
organization. With all his honesty and
and bis many fine traits Mr.. Bryan has
brought nothing but disaster to his party,
and if the party would restore itself and
succeed it must cut loose from him en-
tirely.
The Democratic party is far greater than
any one man and its interests are of far
greater importance to the country than
the political fortunes of any one man. Mr..
Bryan has wrought harm enough, and if
possible, be should in all kindness and in
all fairness be retired.
