HANLoN COMING EAST.
He VIII Try to Secure Match with
Young COrbeff.

II is now up to Young Corbett, champion
feather-weight boxer, to give Eddie Han
lon, the California fighter, a match for
the championship. Hanlon is now on the
trail Of Corbett and will come East for the
purpose of securing a match with the
champion. Corbett has not yet wiped out
the draw that HanlOn fought him last
February. Besides. the champion agreed
that the winner OF the Hanlon- Yanger bout
would be his next opponent in a regular
bout for the title 1t is expected that when
HanlOn arrives IN the East he will try to
induce Corbett TO sign articles The only
good place for the fight is San Francisco,
as that is the only city in the country
where the authorities will stand for out
and-out championship battles. CoTbett may
prefer not To fight there, but will hardly
have a valid excuse on that ground.
What Hanlon can do with Corbett is a
matter hard 10 discuss. COrbett was not in
condition when they fought their twenty
round draw, and Hanlon has improved
since that time. COrbett is a hard hitter and
a heady boxer, and he is not going to lose
his place without giving some one good
fight. Hanlon is more nearly Corbett 5
weight than either McGovern or Yanger.

ODDITIES OF EXPORTING.
What We Send Abroad and Some of
the Things We Get.

OOlHerS weekly.
We send Dakota seed to Russia from
our own product in the markets of the
world: To plant, cultivate, reap and haro
vest her own crops we send to Russia
nearly one-half our total exports Of agri-
already shipped some $4,000 tons of these
implements to the land OF the Gar. In
former nra years ears all ,f this passed through the
fractional increase in freight rates be-
tween the lakes and the East has diverted
the trade to Southern ports, while expert
ments fn % are neing made in direct shipments
from Chicago by way of the lakes, the ST
Lawrence river and the Atlantic ocean.
The cotton plant first came to America
from Asia: now the greater part of the
central Asian crop Is grown from American
cottonseed. American cultivators till the
SOIL which is watered by an American irri-
cation system. Yankee gins clean the fiber
American compounds press the cotton into
bales wrapped with American bands and
finally the cotton finds it's way to Moscow
over a railroad built with American capi-
tai, and is turned into cloth by second
hand machinery from an American cotton
factory, TO compete abroad with American
prints.
Another regular article of EXPORT to Cen
trail Asia is the Ohio grapevine cutting
The vineyards of Central Asia are all off,
shoots from American vines and the fruit
is priced above all others in Russia proper
for its deltcacy and flavor. Twenty to thirty
tons of American grapes to the acre is a
common yield in Central Asia and as the
American vine Is free from parasites il is
being introduced everywhere the world
over, from South Africa to Northern China
and Japan. We will export tobacco plants
TO Russian Asia. so that the Russian tobac-
CO. grape, cotton and wheat crops are all
American, once removed.
No Oriental fable is stranger than the
accomplishments of the UP to date Yankee
drummer. In BaSdad. the home of Aladdin
he offers the new American lamps that

the old bronze tallow burners of the Bag
dad housewife, and as these time-wOrn
Oriental lamps find a ready sale i'm New
York. the enterprising drummer who in
troduced the American lamp TO Bagdad
was well repaid for his trouble Now how
ever. American lamps are becoming a drug
in the Bagdad market, and the supply of
old lamps is rapidly giving out as our lamp
trade with Turkey increases.

On his performance this year Dick Welles
Is the fastest horse In America When
Il comes to speed the figures tell the story
that bear out the above statement. Dick
Wslles has not beaten all the other fast
horses in the country. but he has covered
two standard distances In shorter time
than any other horse that ever performed
on American race courses He has run
thirteen races this year and won twelve
Of them. His single defeat was due TO ILL
luck. not 70 lack OF speed II rained a few
minutes before he went to the post at Har-
lam. Aug. 3, and as Dick Welles cannot
run in the mud he was beaten he has won
seven stake races and established one track
record. aside from his two American rec
ord feats. He has won one match race
and In eleven OF his thirteen races he
has been an odds-on favortte. His purse
and stake winnings amount to $16.545 for
this year, and he captured enough money
as a two-year-old TO make his total win
nings on the turf over $500. The amount
is comparatively small for such a great
horse. but Dick Veiles has not been started
in the long distance stake events. where
the big money il hung up.
Owner RespesS has liz in mind to enter his
great colt In the big handicaps next year
Then the question of his ability TO go a long
distance may be answered. Respess is as
remarkable a trainer as Dick Welles is a
horse. He has made what they call a six
furlong horse win at a mile and an eighth.
He may be able 10 bring forth Dick Welles

endurance. liz he does the McChesneys and

furlongs at Washington Park in I'LL 40

as the fastest horse OF the year. Respess

PRISONER TO AVOID TAXES.
Detroit Woman Shpt Herself Up for
Three Long Years.

After ten years of uecessful tax lodging
Mrs. Nina Rauch, through her love for
tomatoes, came to grief, and now she will
have to appear In court to tell why she has
not paid the 5000 to 5000 taxes she owes.
and give up the good coin which she has
tried so hard to keep.
The affair is more like a tale OF fiction
than an actual case Of a prominent De-

ing in a handsome residence on Winder
street, and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Frank L. Doremus and Captain A. j.
Rogers, special detecttye OF the same de-
partment, have had to Use their best ability
to run the quarry down. 1t finally
accomplished at sunrise this morning.
About ten years age Mrs. Rauch's hus-
band died, leaving an estate valued at
about $4,000. She waE made executrix of
the estate, which, after being probated, was
divided among the three daughters, and
Mrs. Rauch was appointed guardian. The

When Mr.. Doremuss assumed charge of
the collection of personal taxes some
months ago, he turned his attention az once
to finding out way ii which he could Sc
cure the 5000 or si.oo that Mrs. Rauch
owed TO the city. After trying in the usual
way some time he called In Captain Rogers
and turned the case over to him. suggesting
thar perhaps the FIRE department might

San Francisco Examiner.
j. H. Camp, who resides at Browns Fat,
in southern California, has just passed
through the terrible experience OF being be-
sieged for four days and nights in a cabin
in the upper San Gabriel country by four
starving mountain lions. Camps only COM
panion was burro, and his only means Of
defense a small revolver and a limited guam
tity of ammunition.
Camp had gone to the mountain cabin 10
prepare il for the reception OF several hunt
ers, and during his stay alone had heard
the cry of wildcats and the long, blood-chil-
ing screech of panthers. he had not caught
sight OF any of the animals until one day
when he was cutting away some brush on
the trail near the cabin he heard twig
snap in front OF him. Looking up, Camp
was struck dumb with terror. but instinct
lively his hand sought his hip pocket, In
which reposed his pistol.
AS he drew it. another lion walked out
of the brush. and behind It were two
smaller. possibly cubs Blazing wildly
away with the popgun i'm his hands, Camp
created momentary diversion that al
lowed him to reach his cabin door. Rush
ing inside he barred the door and reloaded
his pistol, determined 10 frighten away
the brutes If possible. AS he looked out
he saw his burro, Al Borak, snorting and
tugging at mis- tether, one or the tawny
brutes having already begun 10 sneak up
him. With wild plunge the burro
broke loose and rushel for shelter. one OF
the lions after him. Camp opened the door

Camp barred it again. he had plenty OF
provisions and decided TO remain quiet for
a time, hoping the lions would go away
knowing they are usually cowardly brutes,
Camp was al loss to account for their
daring action except on the theory that II
might be a pair with their cubs. Tie made
the burro comfortable and was glad of his
company and then took look To see IL
