GREAT INTEREST
HERE IN FIGHT

Night and Cheered Justify.
Was COrbett Crowd.

Interest in the great JeffrIes-Corbett
battle for the heavyweight pugilistlc
championship OF the world. fought in San
Francisco last night. was great and wide
spread in this city last night. Hundreds
stayed up to hear the reports of the bat
tie by bulletins and many others who did
not care for that 'phoned to the Times
Dispatch Office for information as to the
result,
The crowd interested In the great ring
battle congrcgaled chiefly at the cate
OF Sparks s. Black, where 1t had been
announced the returns from the fight
would be received by special wire and
announced by megaphone. The sports be-
gan to gather early and by midnight the
spacious cafe, the largest in the city,
was pretty we'll filled. When the bulle-
tins began coming the entire place was
damned aud the interest was intense. It
Is estimated that there were fully five
hundred persons In the cafe and they res
manned with undated Interest to the
close. The returns were given out BY
q megaphonc by Mr.. -k1aLisal upo and were
distinctly heard by all.
IT was a Corbett crowd In symp4thies,
but the big boilermaker had many friends
and well-wishers In the throng. and many
who hoped Corbett would regain tho
laurels lost at Carson City to B1tzsom-
mons on that memorable st. Patrlck's
day battle of 1897, hardly dared hope that
the pOmpadour would BIO able to do this.
Many others, however, were sufficiently
sangune of Corbett's skill and prowess
as n puncher to back his aspirations at
the prevailing odds. The Jeffries hackers
were Offering three to one. or about that
figure, though some money was wagered
at smaller odds That the crowd was q

were general when the ex-champion ap-
pcared to have a show of winning. The

seventh round was being announced, but
it was withheld until the tenth, when 1t

 large police force was on hand to preserye order. The steamer Colonian, on which the strike breakers are housed remained, however, in mid-stream, and the clash which is absolutely certain to come if the non-union men are landed was averted.
 A dozen skins put off from the wharves containing screwmen and their sympa- 1hizers and hung about the Colonian seek ing to gather information from the men on board and to entice some of them to come ashore.
 One man did accept the invitation, slid ing down a rope and being hauled into a skin. He was given an ovation when he reached shore.
 The men who escaped from the Co.onian say they were hired at St. Louis under a promise of A a day and board and transportation each way. and that they were assured that there was no strike here, but simply shortage of labor.

NOT YET CRITICAL.
Far Eastern situation os Viewed by St. Petersburg.

Far Eastern Situation os Viewed by St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg. oct a.--The statement published in the United States yesterday by news agency that an anti-Japanese war sentiment prevails here is false. The government remains peacefully dis- posed, and the foreign office disclaiTns the slightest sentiment of hostility. The newspapers here publish extracts fkfuFn t1fe SapanesA rpsesns indicating hos tility to Russia: but the Russian editor@ iais preserve studied calmness. Diplomatic circles are aware that the situation inspires some uneasiness and they believe that the government anttct-
 pates peaceful solution. The Japanese minister here, M. Kuri- no, informed the Associated Press to-day that he has seen no indications of war
 like disposition here. He has always
 found Foreign Minister Lamsdorn ready
 candidly to discuss feusso-Japanese re- lations.
 The Japanese minister says there was no reason why the government should not reach a peaceful settlement. While the foregoing reflects the senti- ments of Et. Petersburg, it is not denied
 that there may be different feeling in the Russian orient The Japanese pa-
 pers quoted here regard Admiral Alex leu prOmOLlOn LO tHc EALh Oh NACdtOH or the Far East as being victory for the Russian war party. Some disquiet has been caused by a statement made by Port Arthur news
 paper. the Novykral. declaring that the
 Japanese foreign and war ministers have
 joined the Japanese war party.
 Japan, according to this paper, de-
 manded final answer regarding Rus-
 sia's intentions in Manchuria within
 three weeks. after which serious meas
 ures could be expected.
 Regarding the reported movements of
 the Russian fleet, the foreign oft1ce in-
 formed the Associated Press that fleet
 is expected shortly at Port Arthur from
 vladivostock and it is possible that the
 fleet is in the vicinity of the Japanese
 fieet since it Is necessary to pass
 through the Straits of Korea, but no
 importance can be attached to the mo-
 mentary whereabouts of the Russian fleet.
 Touching on the general situation. the
 foreign office declared that the present
 moment was not regarded as critical.
 Negotiations were proceeding, and had
 been proceeding intermittently for three years.

PRESS IS wARL1KE.
J. panses Governments Maintains Its Composure, However.

Yokohama, Oct. s.-The leading papers in voicing Japanese opinion today showed unusually intense opinion on the Far Eastern situation. The ibid of Tokio says:
 ''The patience of the people has reached the extreme limit. Though Japan only asks Russian fuIflllment of treaty pledges yet Russia is apparently challenging her to a contest.p
 The Asahi also of Tokio, arguing on the same lines, points to the moderate Jap- anese attitude, and the Tong and serious provocation." but indicates Japan's de- sire to maintain peace. while Russia g attitude has been uniformly arbitrary and aggressive"
 Both the papers quoted consider that time makes the situation grow worse for Japan and they say Russia must mod fly her attitude considerably if an amica- ble settlement Is to be reached"
 The Chinese-Japanese commercial treaty so far as known here, is still unsigned.
 The chief officers of the naval station and those of the permanent squadrons have been holding conferences since yes- terday at the naval offices.
 Individual Japanese have been applying for permission to subscribe to a war fund; but the Japanese authorities have pro- visionally refused to accept the subscrip- ttons.

CONFIRMED BY GATES.
Morgan's and schwab's stocks to be
 Sold First.

Sold First.
 Chicago, Oct. s.--John W. Gates, whose name has been mentioned in the recent developments as to the underwriting of the United States Shipbuilding Company. was interviewed today by a representa- tive of the Associated Press.
 Referring to the contract that he says existed between his house and the house of J. P. Morgan & O., Mr. Gates said:
 There Is no question about the con- tract with Harris, Gates & Co., to sell the Morgan and Schwab shipbuilding stock ahead of all others. The contract was signed by Charles M. Schwab for J. P. Morgan and c. M. Schwab by Daniel Leroy Dresser. for the Trust Company of the Republic, and by Lewis Nixon for the United States Shipbuilding Company. MorRan's name was not signed to the agreement I presume that Mir. Dresser furnished the copy. I saw it personally, but had nothing to do with making it.
 "I was one of the unfortunate under writers. Under the terms of the contract the Morgan and Schwab stock was 10 be sold first. and 1t was further provided that the rest of the stock should be locked up in a vault and kept until the Morgan and Schwab stock was sold out. They simply made place to market the stock ahead of any other-if it had been possible to market it-but there was no market for the stock. Mr. Morgan acted. as I understand 1t, in this whole trans action, for the United States Steel Sym dicate, using the Steel Syndicate's money. I do not think MT. Morgan will deny that there was such a deal. He claims that they are not the managers of the under writing syndicate, which Is correct; he does not say they were not directly or ln- directly interested. see 1t is reported that was short of the shipbuilding stock. I never sold share of stock or a bond. would be very glad to do so at con siderable sacrifice. f consider the whole thing much ado about nothing

short Cabinet 1Faarine.

Washington, Oct. 9.--Today'a cabinet meeting lasted scarcely more than an hour. All the members except Secretary Root and Hitchcock were present. The principal topic of discussion was the post. office investigation which was considered at considerable length. especially with reference to the trial of the cases now pending before the courts. At the con- clusion of the meeting Mir. Payne said that 1t was not the expectation that there would be wholesale dismissal of clerka and division chiefs of the Postofice De- partment as q result of the investigatIon.
