ECHOES OF
PRIZE FIGHT
More Than Ten thousand
People Saw the Bout.
GATE RECEIPTS LARGE
jeffries Pockets $4,000 and
Corbett Nearly $1,000.

San Francisco. Aug. 15.-According to
the official count. less people viewed she
contest between Corbett and Jeffries. The
gross receipts amounted 10 sSs.s4o. OF
this sum the fighters received 20 per cent.
or sls.s2S. which was divided IS per cent
10 the winner and = per cent 70 the
loser. For his victory Jetries is en-
riched TO the extent OF s9e.72S. while Cor
bett gets slo.sl0.
There was practically very little money
bet on the fight at the local pool rooms
The heaviest money wagered was BY
friends OF Jeffries. who came up from
southern California TO see the cham
pion win. Nearly all the money went at
odds OF two 20 one in Jeffries' favor.
The reason given for 80 little betting Is
generally conceded to be that the betting
public had little confidence in Corbett's
chances.

gaunt looking palms into prominent relief against the horizon. The cara bao in neighboring paddle fed lazily as the big black crows strutted up and down the backs of the animals cawing sonorously in their greed for the food obtainable there. Natives were hurrying by on their feet-foot- ed ponies laden with wealthy ca tches of fish to be dispensed in the town market, and a quartette of soldiers in the barracks hard by were singing love ditty In rhapso- die melody.
 All nature never seemed so grand; everything appeared in harmony with the captains feelings. Even the tiny chameleons scampered about seemingly more lively than usual in honor of the commandante's fortune. There was nothing in truth to mar the entertainment of the occasion save the alternate chanting of a padre and his congregation as they went through mass in the church. That sounded weird and unwelcome and the captain hurried on.
 The little bamboo cottage on the hill, surrounded with graceful palms and sweet-scented shrubbery, never seemed more cosy and cheer full as it did that evenir~ when tho lone tenant entered. There was a1- ready a hint of feminine presence, yet Dorothy had scarcely sailed from New York.
 The captain sat down and scribbled a hurried note to the chaplain at regimental headquarters, some 50 miles down the coast, saying his serv- the near future; he sent word to the First sergeant that there would be no formations the next day and that the men should rest-then he seated himself in a comfortable wicker and picked merry tunes from his hither- to neglected banjo. He sat late in- to the night, now and then breaking out in joyful song, and thinking how fortunate he had been all his life long. The captain was really grate- full for all these blessings. Experi- ence had taught him that it is the best policy to be grateful for what one may get.
 Now and then the striker brings in a fresh whisky sour and as the jubi- lant officer rolls a last cigarette be- fore retiring, a sentry far off in a remote corner of the garrison Is crying in tones barely audible in the cottage on the hill:
 ''Twelve -- o'clock and-a11 is well"
 "Yes, 12 o'clock and all Is we'll, my faithful man." repeated the captain, opening the face of his diamond studded Waltham: "Yes, Dorothy is coming and I am to go to Berlin when the time comes" he added so- berly.

m sorap ,,L rue circumstances con- nected with the brief but glorious conflict, is liable Ju forget most of the smaller de&ailS with the passing of time.
 Hence I offer the following inter rogatiOns to tax your recollection and to determine the extent of the impressions made. upon your mind in the enactment of certain little ad ventures which l am about to conjure up again, perhaps as much for my own pleasure as for your concern.
 You will remember, Miss O,Hallo- ran, a certain day in 1899, l believe 1t was In the month of March, when native couriers from San Jose pre- ceded a column of marching troops and entering quaint and quiet little Guines proclaimed the arrival of Gen. Lee from Havana? Gen. Lee, the friend of the down-trodden. oppressed and starving Cubans, was approaching and there was joy in every home. Barefoot muchachos hurried hfther and thither crying in their eXcitement: Gen. Lee aqui; el dios Lee, viva la Cuba v Americal'
 The rich ordered their carriages. the ereconcentrados mustered strength to walk, and tottering babes tried again to proceed on their tender feet; all in one grand assemblage to pay homage to Lee--to see, to welcome and to worship Lee, their god and their protector. He, who was hkened unto the man from Nazareth, had been driven amid insult and shouts of derision from the wharf in Havana a few months before, was returning, as he had predicted he would, with

the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 ''So you see that the artful, though unr'lly captain, must not write too often because SenOr La Palma loves ne and says he will be jealous"
 Murray tilted his chair far back on its rear legs, closed his eyes and gaspcd for breath. How different; how vastly different was the letter he expected to be full of love and tender feelings. He concluded forth with that he was no adept in the art of making love and winning hearts. He seemed a sad failure. His last resort for connubial bliss had es- capped him like a prisoner escapes sleeping sentinel. His heart was sore and his prospects for a bachelors

STRIKERS CONTINUE
 RIOTOUS CONDUCT
MAYOR HARRISON OF CHICAGO ORDERS ALL PERSONS TO STAY AWAY FROM SCENE OF TRoUB- LE-TRoLLEY CARS STONED.

Chicago. July T.-The riotous conduct or the strikers of the Kellogg Switchboard company and their sympathizers during the last four days impelled Mayor liar rison to issue a proclamation tonight urging all people to remain away from the scene of the trouble and calling on the rioters to cease from their work. The proclamation declares that all persons who congregate near the plant or in other way interfere with the work of the police will be promptly arrested and punished
 Heavy rains this afternoon and evening prevented serious trouble by dispersing the mobs and the work of handling freight from the Kellogg plant was not inter fered with as much as on former days
 The only mix up of the afternoon came at Tavlor street and Hermitage avenue. A large crowd of men and boys, pursuing a wagon load of freight sent out by the Kellogg company, boarded street car and ordered the motorman to take them in pursuit of the wagon. The street car men refused to move the car until fares were paid The crowd abandoned their pursuit of the wagon and bombarded the car with stones until there was not a pane of glass left in it. The motorman and conductor narrowly escaped injury. A squad of policemen arrived in time to offer them protection.

JAPAN AT BOTTOM
 OF THE MOVEMENT
BELIEVED THAT THE FLoWERY
 KINGDOM IS A WILLING ALLY IN THE LAST coREAN SUCCESS TON.

Washington, July 1.-The roundabout method adopted by the Corean govern ment to secure the opening of Wiju to for eign trade probably is necessary because of the existence of some treaty stipula- tions between China and Corea, signed since the China-Japan war which require the consent of China before such a step is taken. For many years most of the traffic between Corea and China has been by the way of Wiju. The latter place is a big Corean mart on the Yalu river. nearly opposite Ia Tung Kao, on the right bank of the Yalu, and the locality to be opened to international trade in Manchuria as a result or the strong rep resentations which have been made to Russia by the United States for the open door in China.
 Recent dispatches have shown that Rus sia has made claims to extensive timber concessions In Corea on the banks of the Yalu, and both that country and Japan are apprehensive that through the med ium of these claims Russia will obtain a strong foothold in Corea Japan is be- lieved to be at the bottom of this last Corean move with the hermit kingdom, and an anxious and willing ally.

ROOSEVELT IS NOT
 AT ALL SURPRISED
HAS NO STATEMENT TO MAKE REGARDING JEWISH PETITION, BUT MATTER IS CONSIDERED OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

Oyster Bay, July 17.-President Roose- welt was not surprised that the Russian government should decline to receive the B'Nai Rlth petition or any other repre- senfations regarding the Kishineff massa- ere. The action of Russia has been fore casted unofficially The information of Russia's declination was received here Secretary Hay.
 Toward midnight the President sent to Secretary Hay an extended reply. The contents of neither of the messages are disclosed, although it is known that the President requested the secretary to make public the action of this government re- spectng the incident
 President Roosevelt has no statement to make at this time regarding the matter. Whatever information the administration may care to make public concerning it will be given out by the state department at Washington It can be said to be abso- lutely unlikely that further efforts will be made to induce the Russian government to receive the petition. 1t is certain that after so frank and unequivocal refusal to receive the petition, Russia would regard the bringing of pressure to bear upon her to induce her acceptance of the presentation as an act of distinct un- friendliness. As the actual presentation of the petition involved no question of principle and substantially the result hoped for by the promotion of the move ment concerning the Kishineff outrages had been achieved by calling Russia's att tention to the petition. the probabilities are that the incident will be considered as closed.

WARRANTS ISSUED
 FOR (. ". BEAVERS
CHIEF OF DIVISION OF SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES WANTED BY GOVERNMENT, BUT CANNOT BE FOUND.

Washington, July 17.-The issuance or A bench warrant for the arrest of George ". Beavers. formerly chief of the division of salaries and allowances, in the post office department, is the continuation Of an investigation into various branches of ms department that has been in progress at intervals since his sudden resignation from that office last spring. One or the first results was the cancellation or 6v4o promotions that had been passed on by him. to take effect at postoffces through out the country during the present nscal year.
 The case on which the presentation of the grand jury Is based, it is said, IS a more recent development.
 It is said that 1t was only within the past two or three days that the evidence finally was secured that furnished basis for action by the federal grand jury. Chief Postofice Inspector Cochran and Inspector Walter S. Mayer of Chicago. who worked up the case against August W. Machen. the former head of the free delivery service, have figured conspicuous ly in obtaining the evidence.
 The authorities are now searching for Mir. Beavers to place him under arrest. His present whereabouts are unknown. The postoffice officials were chagrined to learn of the publicity given the action of the grand jury in advance of the serv- ing of the warrant. They regarded the news as premature and declined to discuss the matter on the ground that the time was not yet ripe to make statement. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Brstow conferred with several of his as- sistants immediately after he learned that the action of the grand jury had become known Subsequently he refused to an- swer all questions on the subject.

soledad. Venezuela. Thursday, July 16. Noon.-The armstice arranged between General Gomez, commanding the troops of the Venezuelan government, and the revolutionary forces at Ciudad Bolivar, commanded by General Rolando, which was to have expired at midnight yester- day has been extended until midnight today.
 Lieutenant Commander A. D. Culver, commanding the United States gunboat Bancroft, which, with the French cruiser Jouffroy, arrived off this port yesterday afternoon, visited Ciudad Bolivar today.
