SPORTING NEWS.

1t is to be hoped that the fighting
game will not be hoodooed this year
by the many fakes which character
lied the year just passed, which was
productive of more fixed fights than
pugdom has known for a decade. The
shameful number of fakes which
were pulled off in San Francisco is
q disgrace to all lovers of the sport,
and for the sake of pugilism it is to
be hoped that next year the promot-
ers of the Golden Gate will take
tumble and cut it out. Frisco and
a few other coast cities are about
the only places left where contests
can be put on without interruption
by the authorities and If this city is
lost the country is lost-to the pugi-
lists.

Deadwcod Smelter Strike.

Deadwood, S. D.. Feb. 1.-The Gold
en- Reward smelter at Deadwood, one
OF the largest of it's kind in the coun-
try, is idle, the employees having gone
on strike. Nearly 1000 are affected,
the greater part of them being out of
work at this time. and the strike will
result in throwing more men out, as
the Golden Reward mines will be
closed of pecessity.
The cause of the strike was the lay
ing off of one man employed as help
er on the feed floor of the smelter.
The men claimed it increased their
labor. Eight who claimed of the ac-
tion OF the company in laying off the
helper were discharged by the super
intendent and the employees are de-
manding the reinstatement of these
men as we'll as the helper. Wages
have nothing to do with the trouble,

ceiving the highest wages in the coun-
try for that class of work

George Dewey, has issued an appeal to
the American people for funds to carry

treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain. Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington. and
while no answers have been received as
yet. there is no reason for the belief
that the allies will see a way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here and
while it has not formally received the
Endorsement of Minister Bowen it is
felt that he will not enter serious OBJ
jections to its adoption, providing the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be con-
vinced that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to plan which seems to
offer solution of the present serious
hitch in the Washington negotiations
