FORFEITED HIS LAST CLAIM.
Robert FitzsImmons Went Down Before
Jenries, Champion Heavyweight Pugt-
list, at San Francisco.

San Francisco, July 26.-After
fighting a battle of eight rounds
that was fraught with brilliant and
courageous work, Robert Fitzsim-
mons last night forfeited his last
claim upon the heavyweight cham
pionship. He was knocked to the
floor by James Jeffries and counted
out after he had so badly punished
the champion that it was foregone
conclusion among the spectators
that the Cornishman must win.
Bleeding from a number of gashes
in the face, apparently weakening
and clearly unable to cope with
Fitzsimmons' superior skill, Jeffries
delivered two lucky punches as Fitz-
simmons paused in his fighting to
speak to him and turned the tide.
Fitz tried once to arise from the
mat, but sank down again in help
Iessness and heard himself counted
out, where but a moment before he
had apparently all the better of it.

ASK TOO HIGH A PRICE.
The Post Office Department Wants Out

the Bureau of Engraving.

Washington. July 26.-The post
Office department has advertised for
bids for printing the postage and
special stamps for the government
to be supplied to post offices
throughout the country during the
next fiscal year. The action is the
result of what the postal officials
term an unreasonable and excessive
price asked by the bureau of en-
craving and printing, which has been
doing the work for years. The call
may raise an issue as to the right
of Il government Office to contract
outside for work that can be done
by another branch of the govern
ment.
