SHOWS HIMSELF IN
CHAMPION CLASS
Munroe Finds no Trouble in Besting
Sharkey i'm Six
Rounds.

Philadelphia, Feb. 29.-Jack Munroe
outfouSht Tom Sharkey in their six
round bout at the Second Regiment
armory in this city. MunrOe stepped
from the ring without mark, while
both of Sharkey's eyes were badly
swollen from vicious right and left
swings OF the Butte man. In only one
round. the first, did Sharkey have any
advantage over MunrOe. After this the
battle was almost wholly in MunrOe's
favor.
When Munroe began to find the
sailors stomach Sharkey became wild.
and nearly all of his leads went round
Munroe'S neck. In the fifth round
Munroe had his antagonist in trouble,
and again in the sixth round Sharkey
was in great distress. The blows which
Munroe landed on Sharkey's stomach
went straight from the shoulder and
were hard enough to have knocked out
almost any fighter. The general opin-
ion seems to be that JeffrieS will now
be called upon TO defend the champion
ship against Munroe.

NEUTRALITY WAS
BEING VIOLATED
Ohio State Guard Signing Men to
Help Japan-GOVerDme
Investigating.

Cincinnati. Feb. 29.-The govern
ment has begun an investigation of
what is alleged to be the first known
violation of the neutrality proclama-
ton issued by President Roosevelt at
the beginning of the Russo-Japanese
war. The ease is that of letters
which are being sent TO officers of the
1st regiment, Ohio National Guard,
asking them to join a military eXpedi-
ton, preparing for foreign service"
The construction placed upon this is
that the legion is to go either with
the Russians or japanese. The let
ters are signed "WilIiam Wayne" and
a postscript reads:
Should you desire to join us, cap
taincy and $1,000 year will be grant
ed you
The letters have aroused much in
terest among the officers of the regi-
ment. Every second lieutenant of
the organization has been the recipi-
ent of copy of the letter All are
written in the same style and they
only differ i'm the place of mailing.
Nearly all are postmarIted Montreal,
Canada. Some were cancelled by the
railway mail service, and an official
of the government who took one of
the letters in charge expressed the
opinion that the letters were brought
to this city by an eastern mail train.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The Off

al Plug, chief of staff to Viceroy Alex
Jeff, that Russian cavalry had crossed

ingly trustworthy reports General

OF infantry to support the COssacks.
who have penetrated to point below
AnJu, and who are reported to have
beaten the Japanese in several skir-
miSheS.
Nevertheless, if this movement in
force is progressing it must not be as
sumed that the Russians have taken
the offensive, but rather that they are
taking up a strong position in northern
Korea in order TO check the advance
of the formidable army of Japanese
landing on both shores of Korea while
the concentration of Russian troops
behind the Yalu is being completed.
This concentration is making better
progress than is, generally believed
abroad.
The movement of troops eastward
over the trans-Siberian railroad will be
greatly accelerated henceforth, as tele-
graphic reports say that the ice rail-
road over Lake Baikal was completed
yesterday. Up TO this time the tracks
have been used as far as laid, the
gOldiers marching from the terminus
of the line 10 the other shore
Grave rumors in circulation here
concerning the sufferings of the troops
crossing Lake Baikal were communi-
Gated to the officer in charge, who tele-
graphed that there were no cases OF
severe frOst-bite ccasiOning either
death or amputatiOn. He says that
the journey of twenty-five miles, which
takes twelve hours, is broken at a re-
lay station in the center of the lake,
where hot dinntr is served. and that
particular care is taken of the weaker
men during transit.

About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morning,

er saloon in some unexplained way.
With inGescribable Swiftness the fire
gained headway and threatened soon
to envelope the whole ship. To add
to the horror the heavy seas running
meant death to any sent away in the
ife-bOats. The flames became more
and more threatening untiI-when it
seemed a choice of deaths-Captain

the danger from fire was past Captain

The Queen was headed fer the mouth

asked TO stand by until temporary re-

had been made safe the Queen con-
