Prize Fight Gossip of
San Francisco
new CHAMPIONS
Who are Appearing on the Pugu.
liStiC HOrizOn.-A Rival
Especial Correspondence.)


San Francisco, Nov. 25.-Prize fight
ing grows apace. 1t was but recently
that frankie Neal, native son, won
the title of bantam champion by win
ming from the then champion Forbes.
Britt, another native son, has about
mounted the topmost round in his
class. Thursday night he fights Mar
tin Cannoli, and should he succeed in
winning that main it is conceded that
the only thing between him and the
championship of his class is the coon
Cans, leastwise he will have the glory
OF being the white champion.
Still another pugilistic light has
flashed upon the armament, who also
bids fair to attain championship hon
ors in the person of Condell, who until
his fight with Herrera, had been an
amateur. The latter had just returned
from the Northwest, where for many
moons he had made short work of all
who CHANGED to come before him. He
was, and had been heralded as cham
pion. Thinking to pick up little easy
money he ran against this amateur
from Hayes valley. He was , to in
the betting, with no one to take the
short end money. Condell won all the
way. 1t is now the talk of the town
and the surprise of the year.
Young Corbett reached town last
night; he comes here to fight Eddie
Hanlon. another of the native ele.
ment. They fought draw year ago
The latter was then but Is. and now he
has improved wonderfully. His chances

pion, and Sandy Ferguson, from Boston.
The latter reached here q day or two

and is hailed as the man most likely to
take Jim's measure. Those who knew
John l.. Sullivan in his prime say that
Ferguson is equally as quick as the old
war horse, and in other respects calls
him much TO mind. This is bound to
be an interesting go. johnson is a
triile bigger than was Peter jackson
and is possessed OF equally as much
cleverness. He has won all his fights
and as yet has never extended himself.

THOUSANDS CHEERED
RUSSIA'S EMPEROR.

Kharkoff, May 17.-Emperor Nicho-
las long journey, the purpose of which
is to say farewell to the Tenth and
Seventeenth army corps, is serving
the double purpose of stimulating the
officers and men on the eve of their
departure for the front and of stirring
the patriotism of the people to high
pitch of enthusiasm. To-day he re-
viewed a division of the Tenth corps
under the command Of Lieut.. Cen
Slotchewsky, who will lead the corps
into battle. The division was drawn
up into close formation on a vast plain,
carpeted with wild flowers.
The front of the division extended
for a quarter of a mile along three
sides of a square, in the hollow of
which was massed a black line of
people, twenty deep. Through the
peror, followed by his suite, galloping
rapidly to the front of the troops.
Wild shouts and cheers greeted the
Emperor's appearance.
He rode a mettlesome chestnut stall
lion with plain saddle cloth like that
of an ordinary trooper and wore a
simple dark green field uniform with
the white cap of a colonel of infantry.
When the inspection was finished the
DanQS were maSSeQ, the troops WneeleQ
and the review began. His majesty
called all the commanding officers,
down to the captains, around him and
talked to them earnestly and spirited
ly Of the empires great interests which
were at stake in the Far East, arous
ing the greatest enthusiasm. Then
again he passed before the men, stop
ping his horse at every few PAGES and
speaking personally to them of the
duty of acquitting themselves well.
His words evoked cheer upon cheer
and shouts of I'VE will do the best we
can for your majesty
In the meantime the crowd BECAME
so frantic that they broke through the
lines and rushed pell NELL across the
field.
When all was over, his majesty rode
good naturally among the people, adj
dressing here and there a veteran with
a medal on his breast, asking where
he served and seeming pleased when
the veteran proudly replied that he
had gone through the horrors of Ship
ka Pass, under the Emperor's father,
then, Czarevitch, or participated in the
storming of Plevna.

count with Zeregn AZ Co.
New York, May 1.-THE hearing in
.be Daniel j. Sully & Co. bankruptcy
proceedings was resumed to-day before
referee Coke, instead of United States
commissioner Alexander.
Sully who at the last hearing before
commissioner Alexander was on the
stand for nearly three hours, was again
sworn. He said that the account with
Zerega & Co. of Liverpool, which APP
pears in the Sully & Co. books, was of
transactions for Harris, Gates & Co.,
a customers account. 1t represented
dealings in futures for Harris, Gates &
Co. as customers, but the dealings,
were in the name of Sully & Co. The
account represented an order for the
Liverpool firm to buy. 1t was ordered
sold through Sully & Co.
The witness did not recall any other
future dealings with Zerega & Co. He
said the spot cotton transactions with
Zerega & Co. previous to 1904 were on
his personal account except in cases
such as that of Harris, Gates & Co.
After Jan. l. 1904. the dealings were
for F.. w. Reynolds & Co., through
o ~
bought through George H. McFadden
& Bro. The McFadden firm took the
Liverpool cotton on consignment and
advanced the money to Daniel j. Sully
& Co. The cotton was sold when Mr..
Sully directed.
Not Notified to Sell.
He did not recall getting a check for
$4,000 about the time he delivered
cotton to McFadden and neither had
any member of his firm notified Zerega
q Co. to sell the $4,000 account. On
the contrary, he said Mr.. Cutcheon,
attorney for F. w. Reynolds & Co., no
titled Zerega & Co, through the lat
ters agents. McFadden Bros, not to
sell it. If it was done it was against
the wishes of F. w. Reynolds & Co.
1t belonged to Daniel j. Sully & Co.,
excepting the equity of F. W. Reynolds
& Co.
"McFadden told me on the morning
following my suspension that Zerega
& Co. had sold the futures" said the
witness. He showed me a cablegram,
or a copy of one. McFadden ordered
the sale 1t was of futures 1 had open
with McFadden."
Mr. Sully said that three weeks ago
he had been succeeded by David H.
Thompson as president of F. w. Rey-
nods & Co. The company is capt.
talized, he said, at $780, 900, all paid in.

subcommittee, who agreed upon a
plank satisfactory to the convention.
The platform adopted is as follows:
The primal purpose of the tariff
must be the raising of sufficient reve-
nue. to carry on the government eco
nomcally administered.
The difference between parties is
one of the degree of protection to be
afforded. The abolition of the tariff
on products of foreign countries is not
contemplated by the Democratic party.
Nor is it possible so long as a tax on
imports continues to be the principal
source Of income of the government
Continuance of the present rate Of
tariff tax neither necessary for the
providing of revenue nor the equaliza-
ton of the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad, is
unjustifiable, and it's sole effect is to
encourage the formation in the United
States of trusts and monopolies.
THE facts that many of the princi-
pal products of the United States man
ufactured by trusts and monopolies
and which are protected against COM
petition by excessive and unnecessary
tax, are shipped to foreign markets and
there sold at lower prices than prevail
in the markets of the United States,
JuStlIleS the Democratic party III ut-
handing that the Dingley bill be
promptly revised and that all unneces-
sary and excessive rates there be re-
duced or abolished in the interests of
the American consumer.
THE Democratic party pledges it
self to a careful and fair revision of
the existing duties levied on articles
similar to those produced by trusts and
Industrial combinations, and which
permit and encourage the creation OF
monopolies."
Continuing, the platform says:
1--WE demand a strict and impartial
enforcement of all existing antitrust
laws and the enactment of such addi-
tional acts by federal and state gov
ernments as will prevent the formation
of monopolistic combinations and trusts
which control prices. We believe that
the federal government must assert
such control over excessive combina-
tions of capital that the evils of the
trust system eliminated without loss of
advantages which accrue from a more
perfect organization of industry and
trade"

conventions were held in Little Rock
to-day by the regular Republicans of
Arkansas. and by the faction of the
party known as the insurgents"
which broke away from the regular Or
ganization two years ago. Only one
candidate for Governor and one set of
presidential electors were chosen.
An understanding was reached which
is expected to result in the reuniting of
the two factions before the opening of
the campaign. Gen. Powell Clayton,
United States ambassador to Mexico,
was a delegate in the regular conven-
ton and was active in the peace move
ments.
Harry H. Myers of Little Rock was
nominated for Governor without oppo-
sition and no nominations were made
for other state offices.
The delegates to the national conven-
ton were instructed for President
Roosevelt. II. L. Remmel Sid b. Red

and Charles N. Rix of Hot Springs,
were elected delegates at large to the
national convention. Gibbs is a negro.
E. w. Kimball of Little Rock and
Charles T. Duke of Baxter, were elect
ed electors at large.

dorsed President Roosevelt and adopted
resolutions urging it's members to vote

! Republicans.
