SHOOK 5000 HANDS.
Schley Puts in Another Busy
Day in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The last day of
Admiral Schleys sojourn in Chicago
was full of interesting incidents. Re
ception followed reception, and it is
estimated that during the day the adj
Iniral shook hands with more than 5000
persons-men, women and children.
The first item in the distinguished
visitors schedule was a visit to the
. rev W. S. Schley school building. The
admiral entered the building through
two lines of boys holding palms over
his head, while the children sang See,
tile Conquering Hero Comes" After
being introduced he made short
speech, in which he said that honor
and honesty are the landmarks of
glad to have the school named after
him. A small boy piped up: Il am
glad they named it after you where
upon there We're shouts of laughter and
general applause The 900 children in
attendance marched by the admiral,
who shook hands with everyone of
them.
At IL a. m. twenty-five representa-
tives of the German societies of Chi
csgo presented to the admiral resolu-
tions of esteem and appreciation.
Following luncheon with Z. A Mum
ger. of the Hamilton club, Admiral and
Mrs. Schley met the members of the
Maryland Society of Chicago at re-
ception in the Palmer house
AL 3 D. H. AQnllral ana MIS-. Scnley
were rendered a public reception at the
Auditorium hotel. The Hobbies and ap-
IL caches to the second floor corridor,
where the distinguished visitors stood,
were crowded As the admiral and his
wife assembled the stairway a chorus of
fifty young ladies, attired in sailor
suits, sang See, the Conquering Hero
Con es." In the rear of the reviewing
stand a company of the first ship S
crew of the Illinois naval militia was
stationed as a bodyguard.
Without further ceremony the people
filed past, shaking the hands of both
the admiral and his wife.
The reception terminated at 8 o'clock,
at which time Chairman Munger esti-
mated that the admiral had shaken
bands with $500 people.
A feature of the reception was the
welcome accorded seventeen former
members of Commodore Dewey's squad
ron at Manila, who extended their con-
gratulations to Admiral Schley in
writing.
At O'Clock the admiral was the guest
of honor at a dinner given by the Off
GERS of the Chicago naval battalion.
The dinner, which was attended by
about rs officers and guests, was held
in the blue room of the Auditorium
the banquet of Saturday evening, it
was an eloquent and thoroughly en-
jcSable affair.
From the dinner the admiral was
driven directly to the armory of the
First infantry on Michigan avenue,
here the Chicago naval battalion was
paraded for his inspection The adj
mfral made a short speech to the men,
them to persevere in their study of
naval matters. He also spoke in fiat
tering terms of the part borne in the
Standardization war by the naval
militia of Illinois.
At 8 O'Clock the review was over and

Fitz Now Ready to Fight Jeffries
1t Is Said.
Shelving of Sharkey Was Part
Of the Plot.
4 BETTER ATTRACTION
Yosemite Athletic Club Offers
Big Inducements.
Get $4,000 as a Winner and
$4,000 as Loser.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons, it is declared today, will be
James j. Jeffries, next opponent in the
prize ring unless something occurs be-
tween now and the middle of April to
spoil carefully laid plans.
From a reliable source this morning
it was learned the principal reason the
match between Jeffries and Sharkey had
been declared off was that Fitzsimmons
practically has agreed to meet the
champion early in April before the
Yosemite Athletic club of San Fran
cisco.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that the Yosemite Athletic club
has been making great efforts to induce
the lanky Cornishman to meet Jefr1es
in San Francisco. According to a well
informed sporting, man these efforts
have been crowned with success.
The Yosemite club, it is said, has
made F'itz most tempting offer. The
story goes that the landlord of Bath
Beach has been guaranteed $500, be-
sides his training and travelling ex-
penSeS, to meet JeffrieS before the YoSe-
mite club, with the privilege of taking
of the fight in case the Corn1shman
loses. If he should win 65 per cent VIII
be his share of the gross receipts.
Should the fight draw $4,000 house,
which it surely would, F'itzsimmons'
share, in case he proved a winner, would
be about ST, 500. The losing end OF the
purse would net him something like
$4,000.
In view of the report that Fitzsimmons
has decided to fight Jeffries, his suit
for damages will probably not be re-
garded seriously.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 28.-Lemuel
8. Cummins, the soldier of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, is seeking to have
himself set Alright in the records of the
s. Metcalf. Cummins and NJ. J. Cohen,
since dead, were accused by one of the
witnesses before the senate committee
last Tuesday of having killed two Fill
pino prisoners at the battle of Caloocan,
February 10, 1899. He admitted that
Grated General Metcalf, who had been
charged with the killing, but it left
Cumnins in a. bad light in the records.
He thought he might be called as a
witness, but was not, and Sunday it
was learned that no more testimony
would be taken. Cummins yesterday
went before c. r. CookSey, notary,
and prepared an affidavit setting forth
the facts. The affidavit was prepared
Sunday, but was not sworn to until
of the meeting with Major Metcalf, the
capture of the two prisoners and of
Cummins and Cohen taken charge OF
them, says:
major Metcalf then started to the
front, and we started to the rear with
the prisoners. After we had gone some
distance, the prisoners refused to CO.

soldiers that were lying on the ground,
and a battle ensued. There were two
of us against two of them, and we had

Operation ON Nose Lessons His

New York, JAN 2s.-The McGovern-
Sullivan fight will be the next hStfc
event of Importance on the calendar.
There is considerable interest mani
tested in the bout on all sides, as many
consider the two pretty evenly matched.
There was a disposition to make Nc
Govern an overwhelming favorite before
it became necessary to operate on his
nose, but now many doubts are ex-
pressed as to whether he will round to
in time.
Young Corbett, it is said, is also COM
planning of the difficulty he experiences
in breathing, and the little champion
may have to undergo an operation.
My nose was in the same shape as
McGovern's when we met" said Cor

formed on his nose to ease the breath

TOM COOPER A MINER.
Former Cycling Champion Tells OF
His Colorado Experience.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Tom Cooper, the
bicycle champion of 1900, is now in
terested in coal mine near Montrose.
Col. In a letter received by a friend in
this city the other day the ex-cycle king
told of his new experience as follows:
1T is quite a change from riding a
bicycle to digging for dusky diamonds
underneath the ground, but the climate
out here in Colorado is simply superb.
1 am living in a log cabin twenty-six
miles from a town and that town of
only 1900, with communication to it
by horseback. Our mines are located
considerably above sea level and this
elevation is a little bit hard on my
breathing machinery, but 1 am feeling
really better than ever before in my
life. If 1 get the racing fever again
next summer the other riders will have
to look out for me-
TT looks as though we had a pretty
good thing out here in our coal mine,
since it possesses vein thirty-two feet
thick, about 1000 feet wide and over
a mile long with excellent quality of
soft coal, worth out here from $3.50 to
81 a ton, But it is a very lonesome
place and we have to cut notches in a
stick to tell when Sunday comes"
