OF CHINATOWN DEAD.
Who Spent His Time in Get
ting Countrymen Out of Trouble.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 19.-Sam Moy,
a Chinaman, of Chicago, died suddenly at a
hotel in Milwaukee, to-day. of pneumonia.
HI was grand secretary of the Chinese
Freemasons for the middle district of the
United States. Moy was in court as late
as Thursday attending the trial of Wong
Bling, who assaulted Louis Tung. He had
been ailing all the week, but was not COM
PEELED TO take to his bed until late Thurs
day. He talked with his lawyer at 10
o'clock this forenoon, but half an hour
later became unconscious and died shortly
before IL o'clock.
Sam Moy was the reputed king of
Chinatown in Chicago and was one of its
foremost characters. Report many times
had il that he was a wealthy man, largely
interested with influential Chinese mer-
chants, but his intimate acquatntaaces say
he was a poor man. His prominence in the
affairs of Chinatown was due to his con-
stantly looking after the affairs of unfor-
tunate Chinese, acting as interpreter. In
short, he was a sort of an all-around poll
tician. During the worlds fair he was
largely interested in the Chinese-village
enterprise.

Liverpool Shipping Circles Regard

New York. July 19.-While there is
general expectation in Liverpool ship
ping circles that the Cunard line will
be drawn into the Morgan combination,
there is less excitement over it there
than in London newspaper offices,
says a London dispatch to The Tri.
bune.
This is Because the wide-awake
merchants have watched the effect Of
the formation Of the United States
Steel corporation and observed that
the export Of iron and steel from Ger.
many and England to America has been
increased They assert that the re-
suits of combination in that trade are
a reduction of American production
by the closing of many Improbable
works. a rise in prices through scar,
city Of the supply OF metal for the
home market, the reduction of Amer
lean exports for foreign trade and
increased exports from England and
Germany to fill the vacuum.
Analogy is drawn between iron and
steel and ocean traffic, and a forecast
is made that rise in freights through
American combinations viii involve
increased prosperity for British ship.

JEFFRIES
IN PRIME CONDITION
Billy Delaney Says Rumors Of
His Sickness Are False.
INTEREST IN FIGHT GROWS,

Sold NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In Prime
Condition Physicians Say.

San Francisco, July 19.-Interest In
the Jeffries- Ftzsimmons fight is in
creasing. People are coming from
the east and interior parts to see the
contest, and seats are being sold rap
idly. George Siler the well known
referee, is among the latest arrivals.
There has been no change in the or
ders, and very little betting at the 10
to A price quoted Jeffries people are
holding out for a shade better quota
tion.
Referring to the rumor that Jeffries
is out of condition Billy Delaney said:
1T is all nonsense Jeffries was
never in better, shape in his life than
he is right now, or as good for that
matter. He is exactly where l want
him. To keep him there l have
asked him not to do much work for
the next few days 1t is always a
sign to cut out hard going when a
man commences to get cranky. Wed
nesday Jeff was a bit out of sorts,
and l asked him to call halt He
has done it-nothing more.
81 don't know where these rumors
of his being sick originated, but l
suppose they were put into circulation
to influence the betting | can only
caution our friends throughout the
country to take no stock in such ru
mors and not take fright"
Along with the rumors of Jeffries'
condition was another to the effect
that Eddie Graney was not to referee
the fight. That also proved to be a
fabrication, springing from the fact
that some difference existed between
him and the club as to his services.
Fitzsimmons has been examined by
the San Francisco Athletic clubs ply.

physical condition.
