4 Francisco, Aug. THE last
time Corbett met Jeffries the sporting
men looked upon the battle as cinch
for the champion. Numerous bets were
made on Jeffries at to /, the sports
considering it a foregone conclusion that
the man who previously defeated the
hurley Sharkey and the mighty Fitz-
simmons would in every way outclass
his opponent. After the fight the opin-
ions of the men who had looked upon
Corbett as an easy mark changed. He
was defeated, but not disgraced. jeff
ries won but he looked more like the
vanquished than the victor. Both eyes
were cut and his nose badly bruised.
He frequently bled during the contest.
Despite Jeff's heavy blows Corbett was
unmarked. Jeffries knocked Corbett to
the floor with a right to the ear in the
nineteenth round. Corbett was up in a
jiffy. The blow that knocked Corbett
out, according to good judges, was a
left hook to the jaw delivered with full
force. jeff landed the punch after Cor

face. The following is an account of
the last round.

Negro.

New York, Aug. THE color line has
been drawn on the United States receiving

chief petty officers have refused to mess
with a negro who has just been sworn in
as chief carpenters mate. They have as
serted their unwillingness to associate with

any orders that may come to them through
him in their line of duty.
Isaac Miller, the chief carpenters mate
Is not a full bloOded negro. He has been
in the navy many years and has a good
record For a long time prior to his re-
cent promotion. which was for merit, he
ranked as carpenter mate of the first class
When Miller appeared at the chief petty
officers mess on Wednesday eight other
members of the mess rose and left the
table when he sat down. Miller ate his
dinner as if nothing had happened and
since then he has had no company at his
meals. He has been allowed, when he
reached the table first. to eat alone, and
when others have preceded him he has
waited until they finished eating.
Captain Snow said Millers rights would
be protected, as the navy makes no dis
tinction as to color.

hours of 3 o'clock Sunday night and 7
o'clock Monday morning the Lowemont

gan their work. The office is situated IN

gaining an entrance. The glass in the win
dow was smashed out and through this
opening the latch on the sash was reached
and unlocked. After this the way was
easy.
Raising the window an easy means of
entrance and egress was established Once
inside the robbers made a thorough search
of the place, seemingly bent on finding ev-
cry cent possible.
When Charles Rroene, the chief clerk in
the office, reached the place about s o'clock
Monday morning he discovered the rob-
berry. 1t was found that the stolen prop
erty consisted of 500 in stamps of all de-
