Paris. Feb. 21.-The officials of the
Panama Canal company are maintain

was considered of the utmost import
ance owing to the delicate stage of the
negotiations not to throw anything into

activity has been shown since the re-

take an optimistic view of the success

TWO COIL BILLS.
They Are introduced in the Senate
Today.

The bills relating to and prohibiting
the condscation of coal in transit by
railroad companies in this state, were
introduced into the senate today by
Chairman NOftzger of the coal famine
investigation committee These two
bills were printed in fun by the State
Journal at the time of their prepara-
ton One makes the c0nhscation OF
state coal punishable by heavy penal
ties The other. nominally prohibitive,
practically permits railroads to take
private coal by paying d premium on
its market price.
At the time of the handing in of the
two coal bills the committee made its
report. This closes the operations Of
the coal famine Investigation of which
the only practical result has been the
recommendation of two bills calculat tied
to regulate one of the causes which
brought about the coal shortage during
the present winter
The credit for the instigation of this
investigation belongs to Senator Harry
Mcmillan (Democratic) OF Minneapolis.
In its proceedings it has failed to ac-
complish all he intended it should, he
says, but he considers it a step in the
right direction. Some OF the greatest
embarrassments resulting from the
famine was experienced among his own
constituency and he has received the
heartiest endorsement from them for
his stand.

LEWIS TO BE THERE.
Says He VIII Make Statement Be-
fore Committee.

Il never made a statement which
I was not willing to substantiate with
an affidavit" said Frank Lewis today
to a reporter for the State Journal,
and if the Republican city central com
mittee tonight should insist that I make
oath to my assertion that I am a Re-
publican, I suppose can do it. But I
should hardly think that it would be
necessary for the committee to demand
any such thing Of me. I claim to be
man of honor, and I believe that my
statement should be accepted without
requiring that I make cath to IT.
Mr.. Lewis stated that he would attend
the meeting of the committee this even
ing. and would be prepared to answer
all questions which it puts to him.
The city central committee will prob
ably decide tonight when the positions
on the Republican ballot viii be handed
out. 1t is likely that the lottery viii
take place early next week.

PRETTY RACES WIND UP
MICHIGAN REGATTA
La Rita Sails Off Tie With Pilot and
Wins by Nine Seconds.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. S.-The Lake
Michigan Yachting associations regatta
came to successful close today Weather
was fair and a stiff, steady breeze blew
all day.
In the class A sIoops Vence Dor won,
there being no competitor, Vence Dor

The class A sloop race required an
extra race to sail off a tie, the Illinois
winning the morning race today on time
allowance. In the morning race Milwaukee

first round owing to her main sail split
ting.
The prettiest race of the day was the

to decide a tie between La Rita and Pilot

Pilot beat La Rita by a narrow margin
and La Rita having won yesterday an
extra race was needed to decide the tie.
The deciding race was started immedi
ately after the finish of today'S race, and
it was neck-and-nec race almost the
entire course. On the second leg both

Western Critic Tells of the Fast
Work of the Former Cham
plon Gentleman Jim viii
Fight Fair = Other Boxing
Notes.

According to one of the leading fight
critics of the West, Jeffries is not to
have things all his own way in the
coming fight with Corbett. w. w.
Naughton in a special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says: Jim Corbett
Furnishing up his speed qualities is a
far more interesting object to watch
than Jim Corbett toying with cumber-
some apparatus for the purpose OF
developing muscle.
Jim is a regular dancing Dervish
these days with Yank Kenny on the
roped platform out under the trees at
Croll's. Yank is the heavy villain OF
the play. He impersonates Jefries
even to the crouch which Tommy
Ryan claims to have invented in the
first place.
When doubled over Yank is quite
formidable to look at. He weighs some
where around $40, and each of his
arms is as long as an oar and as thick
as an average mans leg. He fastens
his gaze on Corbett's midsection,
in.
1t looks as if Corbett's only way to
avoid those reachy sweeps at his ribs
is to duck out of the Enclosure, but Jim
remains within the ropes and fits
around in such manner as to disar-
range Yanks plan of attack.
Corbett Never Tires.
Corbett Jumps and jabs in tireless
way. AT times when he is avoiding
Kenny's swing, he appears to be rock
ing easily from toe to heel. He al
ways sees to it that his opponent S
blows go by him, and whether rocking
or swinging, he keeps jolting Kenny
around the ears and jaws with both
hands and carrying himself as though
his main purpose is to watch for signs
of dizziness or WEAKNESS in order that
he may cease his butterfly tactics and
concentrate force and attention on a
knockout punch.
1t is very fatiguing work for Kenny
but Corbett does not seem to mind il
a bit The perpetual motion of the
thing; the constant haunting and
humping is a species of glowing that
he delights in, and if in the champion
ship fight that is now so near Jeffries
has to follow Corbett through even q
few rounds of this sort of going, the
test of condition will be as severe as
any the champion has been put to fol-
a long time.
In addition to his continuous per-
Torrance work with Kenny, Corbett
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-09

had quite a session with the light ball
this morning. He punched it for five
rounds and crowded as much action
into the practice as some boxers in
training do in ten rounds of the same
kind of thing. He had also a bit of
shadow work with Berger and after
his shower and rub he raised the beam
at 1876 pounds.
Corbett Talks.
Corbett is thoroughly satisfied with
his speed drill SO far and for that mat
ter considers that he is as fit to box
now as he will be on August Ia. He
says his aim from now on will be to
keep at his present notch. "Jeffries, I
see, has been limiting at what may
happen in the clinches If I do not be-
have myself" said Corbett.
Now, have never been accused of
boxing unfairly, but at the same time
I want the big fellow to know that /
know something about clinching and
will be able to take care Of myself. As
for his leaning on me, as they say he
! is doing with his partners UP at Hardin
Springs, do not see how anything of
that kind will help him to win. If he
takes to leaning may do the same,
and guess the crowd will kick If there
| is twenty rounds of leaning"
This was in reply to certain er1a-
nations from Jeffrfes' camp It appears
some one told Jeffries that Cerbett
resorted to heeIing with the gloves
and tricks of that character when try
ling to free himself from clinch. JEFF
| fries declared that If Corbett tried
anything of that kind 1t would be "all
| the worse for him." Corbett denies
| that he fights unfairly, and at the same
| time throws out an intination that he
| is capable of looking out for himself
| in the clinches.
1t has been told at different times

that was marked to fill the hearts or
the Looieville mob with sorrow came IN
the ninth round when two had been
stopped and PIERCE and Flournoy were
waiting at the two advanced stations
for a husky belt.
Prior to this time the Saints had
broken loose and the outbreak had fur
nished five runs. Short Mr.. Egan al
most had his shingles lifted during the
excitement, but Bill Schriver dashed
to the rescue and saved the little man:
AS Egan refused to let go the GROUND
again, all this brought the Saints up to
the finishing round one to the bad.
Egan showed signs of another detona-
ton in this concluding inning, and
when Eddie Wheeler came up with his
oak stick two were on and waiting TO
score. E. Wheeler started off to break
up the affair with belt that shot for
the left field fence. J. Hart beat the
swat to the fence and stabbed 1t in the
nick of time. That ended it.
Louisville started off with two scores
In the first inning on a base on balls,

third inning Louisville made four
scores on hits. by. Kerwin, Hart, Brash-
ear and SOdWell.
After this. inning there was nothing
doing for Louisville in the scoring line.
The Saints started to get in an argu-
ment with Umpire Mullane in the first
inning% 1t was all about calling Brash-
ear safe on third base. Ferguson call
ed Tony some names that would not
do to print and Mullane Immediately
showed his official displeasure by hay-
ing the big Scotchman removed from
the game. This move on the part OF
the official indicated somewhat dis
comfited the Saints. Allemang was
substituted for Ferguson. He pitched a
tip-top game, and few hits were made
off him, barring the four made in the
third.
The fifth inning came near being
Egan's undoing. He was beginning to
get filghty, when Pop" Schriver gave
him an anchor power" and kept him
down through trying ordeal. The
Saints succeeded in piling up five runs
in this inning. Neither side scored af-
ter this.
Jackson, Geier and Flournoy did the
best stick work for the Saints, making
two hits each; Shannon, Wheeler and
Allemang had one hit each. The st.
Paul team played scrappy game and
tried their best to win The score.
