REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 3.-News comes
from Los Angeles that Champion Jeffries
has made a match with Jack Monro OF
Butte for October 16. at Los Angeles.
The fight will be twenty rounds and
Jeffries agrees to give the entire proceeds
to Monroe IL he does not knock the Butte
miner out.
The fight will be in Hazards Pavilion
and JEFF figures that good house should

which has a pavilion Just over the boun-
dary line Of San Francisco County. is anx-
ious to get the fight, but there is little
chance now, as Jeffries wants to fight one
battle in his native town.
Jefries says he doesn't want to go on
the road in a show. but prefers to fight,
and he Is anxious to meet any white men
who think they have a chance for cham
pionship honors.
Jack Monro Is the Butte miner who
was given q verdict over Jeffries last
spring, when the champion and Fftzsim-

tance q range of mountains.
The contention is further made that
there is no such mountain range. 1t also
Is urged that the United States has occu-
pied this strip of territory ever since Its
acquisition from Russia and that Russia
had controlled 1t since the treaty Of 1s25
until ceded to the United States in 1861.
NEW DOCUMENTS.
In its counter-statement the American
Commission makes rejoinder to points
covered in the presentation OF the Brit
ish side of the case. which. It appears,
contains twenty or more documents which
heretofore have not been given to the
public.
The additional evidence referred to bears
upon the negotiations which took place
between Great Britain and Russia during
the years 1873 to 1876. and 1t is contended
that this new evidence in no way alters
any material contention made in the orig
inai allegation. but that. on the contrary,
sit confirms and strengthens the position
of the United States"
These documents consist largely Of
statements made and letters written by
Mr.. Peliy, who WIS at that time Deputy
Governor OF Che Hudson Bay Company.
and 1t is contended that his letters fully
sustain the assertion that in fixing a
line Of demarkation the British Govern
ment acted solely in the interests Of that
company.
Considerable space IL devoted to the
part played by the Klondike gold discov-
cries in arousing Great Britain's interest
in the controversy. and in this connection
notice Is taken OF an assertion maie by
the British coamissioerS nthat the GOWNS

RAMMED THE KIOWA.
Clyde Liner Was Sunk in Boston
Harbor.

Boston, Dec. 26.-in binding storm,
which swept Boston harbor this aft
ernoon, the new Clyde line steamer
Kiowa, inward bound from Jackson
vile, Fla. and Charleston, S. c., was
rammed and sunk by the steamer Ad-
miral Dewey, of the United Fruit
Company, outward bound for Port
Antonio, Jamaica and Port Limon,
Costa Rita.
Capt. Chichester and the entire crew
of the Kiowa, numbering thirty men,
were rescued by tug. The Admiral
Dewey sustained practically no dam
age, and after laying to for the pur-
pose of rendering possible assistance,
she proceeded on her voyage.
With several passengers and a big
general freight cargo the Admiral
Dewey sailed from this city shortly
after II o'clock. Owing to the driv-
ing snow storm, the Dewey was MAX
ing her way out at slow speed.
A few miles beyond Boston light.
the Kiowa appeared through the
clouds of mist and snow, directly
ahead. Before the course could be
altered the steamers collided. The Ad-
mirdl Dewey struck the Kiowa a
powerful blow on the port side, just
abaft the main rigging, the sharp
Prov of the fruiter cutting in for a
considerable distance.
The damaged vessel Immediately be-
gan to fill. The city of Boston tug
Cormorant, which was passing, ran
alongside the Kiowa and took off her
captain and crew. This was a most
difficult task, owing to the heavy sea,
and in attempting to jump from their
own vessel to the tug some of the XII
owa's men fell into he water. They
We're rescued by the Cormorants men,

The Kiowa sank shortly after the ac-

IN INTEREST OF TRADE
United States Want to Secure Adj
Vantages from Korea,

Washington, Dec. 26.-The situation
in the Far East has caused the Of
f1cials of the State Department to re-
new their efforts to secure for the
United States from China and Korea
certain necessary trade advantages as
embodied in the Chinese commercial
treaty, and in Minister Aliens demands
upon the Korean government. before
the crisis becomes more acute.
1t is realized that should hostilities
break out between Russia and Japan
the resulting peace treaty probably
would leave the United tSates. and
other neutral nations entirely outside
of the pale of advantage in Korea and
ManchuTia, no matter which way the
tide of victory turned. Therefore
the State Department is bringing pres
sure to bear upon the Chinese court to
insure the speedy ratification of the
trade treaty and, as other nations have
indirectly been given to understand
in this negotiation. it is hoped that final
notifications of the treaty may be ex-
changed in Washington within three
months, at the outside.
This will result in the opening to
the United States the trade of the ports
of Antung, and Moukden in Manchuria.
Across the river from Antung, in ko-
rean territory, lies Win, and the State
Department has prompted Mr.. Allen
at Seoul to renew his pressure upon
the Korean government to secure the
opening of that port to trade.
