vicious blow and Jimmy fought desper-
ately, landing a left over Corbett's eye
that tore that member open. It was
hard finish to the round in which honors
were even.
ROUND SEVEN.
Britt missed two jabs for the body and
received a short arm jolt to the face
from Corbetts left. Corbett missed
terrific right uppercut- Britt sent a ter
rife right to the jaw and followed it
with a hard left to the body that forced

better of a fierce rally. In this round
Britt out-fought Corbett. In the mixes

the round got straight to the face The
pace in this round was almost superhu-

AMERICA REJECTS
RUSSIAN DICTUM.
Secretary Hay Denies That Coal
and Raw Cotton Are Contra
band Of War.

washington, Aug. 8.-"The recogni--
ton in principle of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contraband Of war might ul-
tinaately lead to total inhibition Of
the sale, by neutrals to the people OF
belligerent states of all articles which
could be finally converted into military
usese.
asuch an extension Of the principle
by treating coal and other fuel and
raw cotton as absolutely contraband
of war simply because they are
shipped by neutral to a non-block-
AIDED port Of belligerent, would not
appear to be in accord with the rea-
sonable and lawful rights Of neutral
commerce..
This is a summary Of a declaration
by Secretary Hay on the right of neu-
trail nations during war, embodied IN
q. circular to American ambassad ors
in Europe, which was issued June 10,
hut was withheld from the public, al
though certain shippers who inquired
at the department were supplied with
copies. The circular is based on
declaration by the Russian govern
ment that coal. naphtha, alcohol and
other fuel have been declared CONTRA
band.

PORTE is PERTURBED
Approach Of American Warships May
Stir Turks to Action.

Constantinople, Sunday, Aug. L.
The announcement OF. the dispatch
of the American European squadron
to Smyrna has perturbed the Porte
and will doubtless hasten the solution
Of the questions at issue between the
United States and Turkey in man
ner satisfactory to the former. The
Porte promised American Minister
Leishman that a reply favorable to
the American demand for the same
favored treatment in the matter of
schools, hospitals and charitable in
stitaions as is accorded to other pow
ers SGuld be given Aug. 2. The CIV
ing of the answer was then postponed
to Aug. 4, but up to the present time
no answer has been received.
The Porte recognized the demand
in principle, but thus far has refused
to execute the necessary measures,
and the American legation has now
sent a communication to the Porte
pointedly demanding a speedy and
final settlement, the issuance Of the
necessary orders and the official ac-
acknowledgement by Turkey OF the
American debt. There are no none
tary claims.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Aug. S.-During con-
ference between the president and
Secretary Hay, the Turkish situation
was gone over in all of it's phases,
and the program that is to be fol-
lowed was worked out to the finest
detail. One thing that is known to
be certain is that there must be a
sudden end to the sultan's policy Of
representation If he wishes to avoid
trouble.
Admiral JEWELS squadron will
reach Smyrna Wednesday or Thurs
day at the latest, and If Abdul Hamid
is not then prepared to accede to the
American demands, Minister Leish-
man will hand him an ultimatum, the
alternative of which will be the seiz-
ure of Smyrna. The American note
will be sharp and keen and will vir-
tually be a duplicate of Mr.. Hay s
z''Pericardis alive or RaisuH dead
message to the sultan of Morocco.
No orders will be sent to Admiral
Jewell until he has reported his ar
rival at Smyrna. AS soon as he ar
rives, the ultimatum will be sent to
Minister Leishman, unless the Ameri-
can demands have been met In the
meantime. The sultan will not be
allowed many days in which to de-
eide what he will do.

St. Petersburg, Aug. S.-Lieutenant
General Stoessel. commanding the
Russian military forces at Port Ar
thur, in an undated dispatch to the
emperor, says:
IT am happy to report that the
troops repulsed all the Japanese at
taoks Of July rs, 27 and %, with
enormous losses. The garrison's en-
&husiasm was extraordinary. The
fleet assisted in the defense by bonn
harding the Japanese flank.
t'Our losses during the three days
were about one thousand five hundred
men and forty officers killed OF
wounded.
According to statements of Chinese
, and prisoners the Japanese lost az
many as 10000. Their losses were sc
great that the enemy has not hac

WHEAT WELL OVER
The DOLLAR MARK
The September Option Goes to
$1.04, but There Is Less
Excitement.

Minneapolis September wheat sold
This was 5asc up from Saturdays
closing price of 9S9sc and 4&c up
from the opening this morning at
99Ac.
The heaviest trade seen so far was
on, and millions Of bushels changed
hands. The country bought heavily.
Whipped into line by the bulls a
badly ratified crowd of short sellers
bought frantically. The country sent
in early buying orders. Everybody
then piled on to the bull side. Sep
TENDER opened at 9eAc, went thru the
dollar line ithowut a stop, halted
momentarily at $1.03, and then,
against tremendous pressure still
staggered along up. Millions of bush
els We're sold out for profit around
$1.03, and in the rise above that fig
ure the market showed remarkable
over, for early in the session Ii was
a boom, but now it was an upward
pull, despite a pulling back from half
the pit.
Fewer Wild Men on Change.
For all this there was less noise
and excitement In the pit than on
Friday last when wheat first struck
81. Traders are becoming more used
to the big figures even tho the Septem-
Der wheat above 81 is a most unusual
thing. When the big drought panic
swept the northwest in 1900 Minneap-
oils September sold to 923ac for high.
When Letter ran his corner in 1893
his trades were In May and July and
while September prices sympathized
there was practically nothing doing in
the option. This is the greatest bull
market ever known here in Septem-
Der since B. P. Hutchinson or "Old
Hutch" ran his Chicago corner four
teen years ago.
More Rust Reports.
More rust reports came in from
North Dakota. Stirred up by the
doings in the Minneapolis market,
the farmers were in the fields over
Sunday 1ookin' round" Many a
field that had looked all right on top
was found, upon close examination, to
have black rust under the heads.
Winnipeg turned bullish and
sent down some bad talk over the
private wires, but there is no rust
of the black variety worth noting in
the Canadian Northwest and the
scare appears to be over the common
red rust.
Eleventh hour bulls are numerous
I Men who could see no merit in
September wheat around 78c are now
paying above s1.00 for it and talking
crop ruination. Well authenticated
reports indicate that the damage is In
deed very great in spots, altho the
conservatives believe the northwest
will have some wheat after all anG
that there is danger Of OVERRIDING the
bull market.

Chicago, Aug. AL the laor
unions in Chicago have endorsed the
stock yards strike.
After listening to. the strikers
sented by Michael j. Donnelly, presi-
dent of the striking butchers union,
the Chicago Federation Of Labor,
which is composed Of every labor or
ganization in Chicago and has amem-
bership of nearly 100000, last night
adopted resolutions. pledging. the
moral and financial support of the
Federated body as long as the strike
continues &
Each member of the central body
will be assessed a small sum per week
and the whole, am cunt will be turned
over to the striking unions~to help in
the support of the strikers and their
packers. The exact amount each
member is to be assessed was left in
the hands Of a committee, with orders
to report results tomorrow.
While the officials of the Fedora
ton Of Labor were unable last night to
give an exact estimate of the amount
of money the strikers would secure
from this source, it was stated that

! The clearinghouse strike is the
greatest educator Of socialism the
west has ever experienced. From be-
1 ing unconscious socialists the workers
are realizing that they are in reality
a part of the great socialist movement.
The harsh treatment meted out to
the tsrikers by the packersan d the
inhuman conditions under which they
are willing to have men and women
live and work in their slaughter
houses has brought organized labor
to the conclusion that the propertied
class has no hesitation in consigning
/ the masses to a fate worse than that

Edward Tilden's advocacy of child
labor in the yards has also added fuel
to the flame of socialism.
From this class distinction and
