Murphy's defense was impenetrable. When
the round ended Murphy was cheered
Corbett was up from his chair quickly
in the seventh and played for the body.
Murphy guarded himself remarkably well
and Corbett was nonplussed. Corbett again
swung for the jaw, but Murphy retaliated
with a severe punch under the heart, tore
ing the champion to hug. Corbett Tented
in order to draw Murphy on, but the best
he could do was to miss two well aimed
swings. Corbett worked like Trojan In
the eighth to end matters. Murphy was
elusive and easily kept out of danger. Cor
bett almost fell to the floor from the force
of a heavy right swing which he missed
by nearly yard.
Murphy. who was in no way distressed up
to this stage. forced the fighting I'm the
ninth. He got the right to the head and
the left on the body with sufficient power
to make Corbett vince. Corbett then
showed his qualities a fighter by rushing
and landing at will. His blows hurt and
Murphy was tired when he took his chair.
Corbett was all over Murphy in the tenth
and Hughy's defense collapsed. The blows
came thick and fast and he had all he could
do to protect himself.

VICTORY FOR YOUNG coRBETT.
Knocked Out Murphy in Eleventh
Round at Boston.

Young Corbett again demonstrated what
a stiff puncher he is In ffteeh-rouiio pa'-
tie against Hughy Murphy OF Ne" 10TH

night Just when it appeared thal 'he
combat would go the limit Corpett puileo
himself together and knocked Multiply Out
in the eleventh round. This was the sec
ond meeting between the Two, anu nasss iasss
crowd attended. Murphy showed decloed
Improvement over his last mill Wlth the
champion and made many frleiids pE ms
pluckiness. But Corbett was ms master
when 1T came to real downright srueiihs.
Both fighters We're unscathed at the Id of
the battle
1t was announced that Corbett had the
advantage in weight by at least nine
pounds over Murphy, and he certalnly
looked it. Murphy said he weighed IA
pounds to Corbett's 13J pounds L ne pet
ting favored Corbett. but not much wager
ing was done, with the exception that Mur-
ply would be up and doing at the end OF
the tenth round.
Corbett began hostilities by leading with
the left which blow was blocked. Corbett
then landed the left on the mouth and fol-
lowed it up with a stinger on the same
place. Corbett got home 'wo more Jabs,
but Murphy never WINGED. Murphy only
landed one blow before the round ended,
light left on the chin.
Corbett was again the aggressor in the
second, but could only reach Murphy's head
lightly. Murphy then smashed Corbett on
the face. but had to retreat when the cham
pon came forward again. Corbett then
hammered Murphy's stomach and kept up
these tactics until the gong sounded. Muir
ply did a little better in the third He
found Corbett's jaw several times. but with
not enough force to hurt Corbett, on the
other hand was cautious, evidently waiting
for one swing to end the mill.
Corbett began the fourth with rush. 1t
fell short, however. He tried again and
found Murphy's wind. Murphy apparently
did not mind the punch. for he waded in
and mixed it up He did well and Corbett
was glad TO cinch. A1urphys next effort
was swing for the jaw. II landed too
high to do any damage though. corbett
then pounded Murphy under the heart and
Murphy iabbed Corbett on the face, In the
fifth Corbett closed in and tried the right
for the head Murphy bl9cked cleverly and

HOPES TO !. paclFY j:.PAN
WHILE RUSSIA SURRENDERS NO
MATERIAL ADVANTAGE SHE
HAS GAINED TIME.

London, Sept. 9.-The Picking CORE
NJ. Lessar, the Russian minister, in his
note to the Wal WI Pu engaging that
Newchwang and Moukden province
should be evacuated by the Russians
on Oct. 3, understood that China shall
be permitted to resume administrative
rights in three provinces of Manchuria,
provided that on her part China I'M
dertakes that no portion of the terri
tory shall be conceded to other pow
er; that no concession shall be grant
ed to Great Britain unless granted
equally to Russia, (this is obscure and
requires confirmation); that there
shall be no increase in the present i'm
port tariff on goods entering Manchu-
ria by railway; that in the event of
an epidemic at Newchwang a Russian
health officer shall be appointed to
deal with it,; that Russia shall retain
her OWL military telegraph along the
railroad and that the agencies of the
Russia-C Chinese bank in Manchuria
shall be guarded by Chinese soldiers.
If the above conditions are agreed to
Newchwang and Moukden shall be
evacuated Oct. s and the remaining
provinces in due course. The CORE
spondent, commenting on the forego-
ing, says:
cit. will thus be seen that in defer
ence to the objections of the other
powers the more Objectionable features
Of the demands made by NJ. Plancon
(who vas recently Russian charge
d'affaires in Peking), have been omit
ted, and while Russia ~surrenders no
material advantage, she has gained
time and can rest content that China
will w act in any way counter to
NJ. Plancon's demands. She also
saves the face of China, who will ac-
cept the altered conditions with alacri-
ty. Russia further hopes thereby to
pacify Japan's resentment by apparent
ly acceding to her wishes, while re-
tanning military control of the coun-
try and hoping now to be able to put
to completion undisturbed her mill
tary preparations"

UMPIRE wRIeHT's FINDINGS.
Five Disputes Between Miners and
Operators Settled.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 9.-Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, the umpire to whom was
referred the five disputes between the
operators and miners representatives
on the board of cancellation appointed
under the provisions of the anthracite
mine strike CONF" ission, filed his find
,ings during the day with T. d.
Nichols, secretary of the board. Deal
tng with the question of the employ.
ers' right to discharge men for any
a labor union, Umpire Wright agrees
wholly with the contention of the
operators representatives and declares
that The right Of an employer to dis
charge without giving the cause OF the
discharge is sustained by the award Of
the commission. AS to the rockmen's
dispute the umpire says they do not
come underline award. The complaintof
Thomas Tanner is not sustained in re-
gard to the allegations of discrimina-
ton on the part of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company and Coke
should take back old men instead Of
putting on new men in all cases where
the old men are competent and have
trial for crime committed during the
strike. The umpire's findings cover
twenty-five pages of typewriting.
The board has now disposed of
about thirty disputes. Two more
questions on which it is d~eadlocked
will be submitted to Umpire Wright.
They deal with the nine-hour day in
the Reading company's mines and the
proper basis on which to compute the
increase in wages awarded by the com
mission, the companies in the Lehigh
and %Schuylkill region c%ontending that
1t should be on the net earnings, while
the men contend it should be on the
gross earnings.

INVOLVE SIX PERSONS.
More Indictments Returned in Post
office Cases.

office Cases.
Washington, Sept. 9.-After delibe-
rating for several weeks over a mass
of documents submitted by the post.
Office inspectors the federal grand jury
in this city during the day returned
seven indictments in postal cases, in
volving six different persons.
All the postal indictments were
kept off the public records and both
the officials of the district attorneys
office and of the p%ostoffice department
refused to discuss names and details
of the indictments until the parties in
dicted are arrested. The indicted in
dividuals' identity thus was left a
matter of conjecture.
The grand jury's action probably
marks the beginning of the end of the
Investigations that have been in prog
ress since the middle of last March.
Voluminous evidence has been laid be-
fore the grand jury as the result of
the inquiry and while the present re-
port of the jury disposes Of most of
the cases there yet remains several
cases to be passed upon. Several of
the persons indicted live outside of
Washington. They will be arrested
as soc as bench warrants a be
served.
Two other important events occurred
during the day in the p%ostoffice in
quiry.
Leopold Stern, a Baltimore contrac-
tor, who disappeared from Baltimore
before he could be arrested on an in
dictment returned July 81 last, was To-
Gated at Toronto and the long delayed
surrender Of George w. Beavers, the
former head of the salary and al
lowance division, to the New York au-
thorities took place.

surrounding the finding of five-year-
old Viola Cordes in the Allegheny
river last Saturday evening was par
TALLY cleared during the evening by

that she had. been thrown around in
the world; that she was tired Of life
and would end her troubles by throw
ing her child into the river and jump
ing in after her.

CATHOLIC LITERATURE.

GOOD BOOKS are always in de
mand. Catholic controversial works
should be within the reach of all pur-
chasers. A book whose maximum
price neatly bound, would not exceed
twenty cents, and is sold at dollar
is not only demanding an eXorbitant
price, but deprives the Catholic cause
of the great good that could be at
tanned by the distribution of such
works. 1t is not only detriment to
the cause of religion, but also to the
publishers who, depending on small
sales, make up their percentage by a
large margin of profit. If the prices
charged were cut in two, the sales
would double, for every Jealous Cath
ole would keep a small number of
such works for free distribution among
their Protestant friends.
No more popular controversial work
than THE Faith of Our Fathers" by
Cardinal Gibbons, was ever published
in this country. Priests, as rule, try
to place it in the hands of all religious
inquirers. 1t takes up all the popular
objections, and, without any attempt
at philosophy, answers these objec-
lions in a plain, simple, matter-of-fact
way. His style is so plain that no per-
son interested in Catholic truth could
fail to be impressed with his common
sense and scriptural arguments. That
little book, which has done so much
good, and which has helped poor mis-
sionary priests in instructing newly
made converts, if sold at half the
price now asked, would treble its pres
ent sale. The margin of profit would,
in the end, be greater because of the
increased sale of the book. The good
that would be attained in circulating
such works, when sold at a reasonable
price, should not be measured by pc
cuniary gain. The aim of the distin-
guished author, namely, the propaga
ton of Catholic truths, should not be
impeded by exorbitant prices.
