how strong he is, but he is stronger
than he has ever been before and mas
improved wonderfully within the past
year.
Yes, I believe Munroe has a good
chance to win, although odds in the
betting should be on Jeffries. Jack is
not the fighter he was year ago and
the Jeffries of old will never be seen in
the ring again.
1T is not generally known but Jeff
today weighs over $50 pounds. He is
too big, and to fight Munroe and he in
condition, Jeff must be trained down to
22O or 225 pounds-sixty pounds is too
much to lose and he cannot make it
and be in shape for a long, hard battle.
Jeff Is Too Fat.
Il was talking with Jeffries a short
time ago." continued Mccoy, and no
one realizes his condition more than
the champion. He told me that he
was SettlnS 100 Dig TO HSnt and a1ter
this year would quit the ring for good.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
Jeffries is the greatest fighter the
world has ever seen, even if his best
days are over. l would jump at the
chance to fight Jeffries myself, as
don't believe he can train down to the
required weight and not lose too much
strength
Mccoy states that he will go to Salt
Lake City and challenge Munroe for a
fight there. Whether he is successful
or not, he will go to Los Angeles and
remain there during the winter. He will
try to secure a bout with either Bob
Fitzsimmons or Jack O'Brien, to be
pulled off at San Francisco.
He was weighed here and tipped the
scales at 1872 pounds. He says he
was never in better condition in his
life.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The dis

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The dis
patches sent out from washington last
night to the effect that an immediate
court-martial of Admiral Schley could
be looked for as the result or an artlcle
written by him and published yester-
.lav in The Saturday Evening Post of
Philadelphia are undoubtedly prema-
fure. At the same time, it is known
that Mr. Roosevelt is enraged that
Schley should dare to write his version
of the battle of Santiago for publica-
ton. and were it not that an election
is so near at hand, Admiral Schley
would be made to face charges of con
duct unbecoming to an officer or
something of the sort-anything at all,
in fact, that could be trumped up to
cover the crime of "Lese Majeste"-as
viewed from the Roosevelt standpoint.
But it is certain that even if Admiral
Schley escapes temporarily he will be
brought up with a round turn directly
the election is over-particularly should
Roosevelt win.
A great wave of public Indignation
is feared by the republican leaders
should Roosevelt take any action now.
The people have been slow to resent
the insults heaped upon Dewey, Miles
and Schley, but there is an undercur-
rent of feeling too strong to be rashly
faced by any president-even of the
strenuous rOugh-rider type.
Schley's article is brutally frank
recital of facts. 1t unhesitatingly re-
counts the events of the fateful third of
July, 1898, placing blame for the at
fronts put upon Americas brave old
sailor just where they belong and at
the same time calmly claiming the lau-
res of victory which the republican
administration has endeaVored SO
strenuously to snatch from him.
The article is entitled The Fight Off
Santiago" and appears in the current
number of the Post over the admiral's
signature.
Extracts follow:

The Valuations Are Reached by Send

Make Estimates.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 16.-The Weyer-
haeuser Timber company, the Tacoma
Mill company and the Mason County
Logging company, are making frantic
protests to the county board of equali-
cation against the increase in valua-
ton placed upon their large holdings
in Tnurston county by Assessor F. J.
x Miller.
Mr.. Miller's figures for the entire
show an increase over the preceding
total valuation as equalized of $1,O21,-
900. Railroads were raised 20 per
cent; town property shows a healthy
but not excessive increase, and oyster

in valuations the timber lands are
standing at least three fourths.
The usual railway protest has been
filed but the increase of less than

tiOns on timber, adopted the recon-

as has heretofore been the practice,

and valuations fixed thereon ranging
from 80 to so cents per 1000 feet.
The Weyerhaeuser representatives
assert to the county board of equaliza-
ton that Thurston county is the only
county in western Washington that has
adopted this method. but it is known
here that Mason county sent cruisers
out early in the year for the same pur-
pose, and that other southwest coun-
ties have raised timber valuations very
materially.
The Weyerhaeuser people, who are
the largest single timber holders in
Thurston county, have 1O5,O0d acres, on
which valuations nave been fixed rang
ing from IS to $40 per acre.
These figures. it is maintained by the
company, represent an increase of 10
per cent. over previous years, and they
claim that it is unjust and unreason-
able.
The assessor asserts, on the other
hand. that the price per thousand is
less than half the market value of
the timber.

TINE EXTENDED FOR
HOM[SE[K[=R'SRATES
Viii Be in Effect Each Month
Except June and
july.

The transcontinental roads have decided
to extend the homeseekers' rates to May,
August, September and October of this
year. They have already placed the rates,
which are on basis of one fare plus 81
for the round trip, in effect during March
and April and the extension was decided
upon at a meeting of the Transcontinental
Passenger association at Chicago. The
tickets will be on sale the first and third
Tuesdays of each month.
.'The lines interested in the develop
ment Of the Western country have found
that the demand for the homeseekers
rates was so great that they have de-
cided to put them in said passenger
representative who was present at the
meeting. 1.-THE homeseekers' rates are
in addition to the one-Way colonist rates,
and are put in especially to accomm odate
that class of people who desire to take a
look at the country before moving out
with their families and effects.
AS we. thought that the movement of
two hottest months, would be light, it
was decided to withhold the rates from
those months. Tourists rather than bona
fide settlers, have availed themselves of
these rates during the past few years,
when the rates have been in effect dur
ing those months, but what We put them
in for is the settlers. The condition of
the country is best for the prospective
settler to make Investigations during the
spring and autumn months and ample
time is given for that purpose by with
holding the rates from June and july
The rates will be good as far west as

SEEK COMPROMISE
IN SUGAR RATE WAR
May Establish s5-cent Rate to ST. Paul
From Seaboard and Gulf.

The situation of the sugar rate war
has become alarming to traffic officials,
and two attempts to adjust conflicting
tariffs have already been of no avail. The
latest effort was made yesterday after
noon at meeting of the traffic officials
of the Western roads at Chicago, but
nothing was decided. Another meeting
will be held today, when a proposal to
make the rates from the gulf and the
seaboard to st. Paul will be considered.
The present rate to st. Paul is 2212
cents, established in a Joint tariff issued
by the Illinois Central and the Burling,,
ton The rate applied via st. Louis, and
the proportional from that city. to st.
Paul is ~ cents. To meet this the Rock
rate of cents from Chicago. The Rock
Island has not met the ST. Louis rate.
The norma! rate to St Paul from
New Ne osea 9n sc for sooe oI time said
a traffic official yesterday. The rate or
80 cents, which was in effect before the
present disturbance, was cut to 2S Genus.
when the Great Northern made its slash,
and this was followed by the further re.
duction to 22K cents when the MISSOURI
Pacific made its cut.
''The decentralization is the result OF the
old fight between the Atlantic seaboard
and the gulf lines, and it is doubtfui
whether any satisfactory abiding settle
ment will be reached. The ST. Paul roads
certainly are losers by the low rates. LOT doa
Chicago into this territory for practical
~ nothing. as the initial roads absorb
nearly all the rate. The trunk lines, get
20 cents on the haul from New York to
Chicago, and at present rates nothing
will be left for the ST. Paul roads While
the normal rate is AZ cents, a comproo O.
mise may be reached by stabilshlng 80
cents as the rate to ST. Paul from both
territories.
The Milwaukee yesterday reissued its
sugar tariff, making its 7-cent rate ap-
plicable to all points ON its lines in Min
neSota.
