WOULD
FIGHT
THREE
Champion JeffrieS Has Made
An Unique Offer to
Secure Match

San Francisco, Call Sept. 9.-Des-
pairing of arranging a match with an
individual pugilist for the heavyweight
championship, James j. Jeffries has
made an offer unique in prize ring his
tory. He announced his willingness to
fight three heavyweights in the same
ring in one night.
81 shall take them on for 10 rounds
and if they defeat me they can fight
for the title that / shall pass over to
the winners
The men Jeffries prefers to meet IN.
der the conditions stipulated by him are
James j. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons and
Tom Sharkey. There is no candidate
in view the big fellow can meet, and
by the time a worthy rival develops,
Jeffries believes he may be too big.
The champion figures that it may
take three or FIVE years to find a man
whom the public will acknowledge has
a chance to defeat him. He thinks that
this is too long a time to wait. He
wants to retire now while he is in his
prime, but he wants it to be under.
stood that he fears no man, and when
he quits the ring it cannot be said of
him he failed to give a worthy rival a
chance.
Jeffries' idea in regard to the propo.
sition he makes is this:
He will sign blank articles of agree
ment with a club. The club can get
the best men possible to meet him.
They can toss for the first bout with
him. Each man shall be taken on for
10 rounds. There shall be a referee and
he can render a decision on points if
there is no knockout. If Jeffries is
knocked out before the end of a bout
the three men who sign to meet him
a fight it out for the championship.
The same thing holds good if Jeffries is
beaten on points.

BATTLE
WON BY
BROWNS
General Bell Receives Warm
Congratulations From
Fellow Officers

Gainesville, Va, Sept. 9.-The first
battle Of Bull Run has been repeated
by General Bell, commanding the
Browns, this morning, and he won a
great victory. The Blues, which he
found shortly after daybreak, were
strongly ~entrenched on the old Bull
Run battlefield. By Q o'clock the bat
tie had been fought, and General Bell
had more than retrieved himself for the
defeat on Tuesday.
The battle began before daybreak,
and the Browns pushed forward two
miles, driving the skirmish line of the
Blues back on their main line 20 the
Henry farm house and across Bull Run.
The Blues then occupied what appeared
to be an ~impregnable position. Theo-
retieally they had destroyed all
bridges. One brigade was nearly ami.
hilated, but they inflicted a severe loss
on the Blues. The victory of General
Bell was due largely TO the superior
strategy in his left thanking movement
with two brigades. They We're repulsed
until a detachment Of the Browns
which swam the river, surprised the
Blues and the umpire sustained the
advance of the Browns. General Grant
narrowly escaped capture as the result
of the hanking movement. As soon as
the Browns penetrated the Blue lines
Adjutant General Corbin ordered the
men to return TO their respective camps
General Bell was warmly congratulated
by his fellow officers after the battle.

Jewish New Year.

New York, Sept. 9.--The Jewish
people throughout the world began
this evening the religious celebration
of the Jewish New Year, which occurs
tomorrow. IT is a feast of marked sig.
n~ifcance in their religious calendar
and is strictly observed by all the con
gregations. The year that is ushered
in is 1866. 1t is the new year of the
Old Testament, and in the Hebrew
tongue is known as Rosh Hashana. The
new year is an embolismic perfect
year of Ss5 days, while the year just
closed consisted of but 354 days.
In America, where the members of
the Jewish denomination are divided
into the orthodox and reformed con
gregations, there are some minor diff
.ferenees in the manner of celebrating
the occasion. In all of them the an
eient ceremony Of blowing the shofar
or rams horn, is still used. In the
orthodox congregations, which cling
most tenaciously to the old time ritual.
one of the customs is for the men to
appear in the temples wearing shrouds
typify the significance of the day
as a reminder of death.

Should Be a Politician.

Washington, Wednesday, Sept. p
The bureau of navigation today re-
ceived a request from Representative
Bell, of the second congressional dis
trict of California, for an enlistment
in the navy and assignment to the bat
tleship Ohio of a constituent of his
named Theodore Roosevelt Parker. The
applicant, it appears, really bears the
name Theodore Roosevelt Parker, and
it was not recently assumed, as shown
by the facts that the records of the
marine corps disclosed his enlistment
under that name at Seattle, July 10,
1901. Parker was born in San Fran.

enlisted in the marine corps. His faith.

nected in any way with that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Representative Bells
request will be granted.

fed Galloway received 15a votes and
Bradburn 1l9. Instead of Judge Gal

70 lead people to think that the Re-
publicans didn't get the votes the GER
