COLLIE WHIPS
 THE BULL TERRIER

Ithica, N. Y., Jan. 94-That brain work counts more in fight than brute strength was illustrated yesterday to a group of Cornell professors. who while returning from skating on Bebee Lake, witnessed a tragic battle be- tween two of the best dogs in Ithica. For years the valuable bull terrfor owned by pr. Luzerne Coville has held the championship. But one bitter enemy had he in the collie owned by Prot. W. F. Durand, head of Sibley College. Several times they had met and as many times the pet of the engi- neering college had been worsted.
 Yesterday they met for the last time on the Forest Home road, just east of Sibley College. The collie was being whipped, when of q sudden 1t seemed to realize the opportunity and ran to the edge of Fall Crack Gorge. only a, few feet away. The professors who had tried to part the animals dared not approach the dan- gerous spot, but the bull terrior fol- lowed, and in a moment the two were fighting on the edge of the high prec- ipice. Getting on the safe side the "foxie" collie. inch by inch, pushed back its opponent until over the edge 1t sent the bull terrior. a hundred feet to it's death. Then with a ri. umphant look it rejoined it's master. nr. Coville. with much labor. regain ed the body of his terrier. and gave 1t a respectful burial. The dog was a great pet all over the city.

THE PUGlLlSTS.
SAM BOLEN .....
 WAS CHEATED.
He Hammered Jack Black. burn But Only Got a Draw - Decision Hiss. ed--0ther Notes.

Baltimore. Md. Jan e.--Jack Black burn, who was hailed the pugilistic hero of Philadelphia. owing to his abil. ity to give Champion Joe Cans a hard battle in the Quaker city several weeks ago, last nigh; received quite a setback tG his championship aspirations by being clearly beaten and outpointed by the veteran. Sam Bolen, in d fifteen round contest before the Eureka Ath- letlc club of this city. The referee called the bout draw. His decision was hissed by the spectators. as the New Yorker had clearly the advantage of the contest from start to finish, with the exception of the second round, when right nand swing to the jaw feored Bolen. After this the veteran assumed the aggressive and had Black. burn guessing He closed the Phla- delphians left eye and took matters easy 1t was another case Of youth and strength against experience. skill and knowledge 4of the game, and the latter won out Blackburn bad the ad. vantage of height and reach, but by clever foot work and blocking Bolen drew the youngster in and then played regular tattoo on the face and body. The Philadelphia boy at all times seemed completely puzzled by the ac- tion of hls veteran adversary and at the close of the bout he was much the worse for wear.

NO FIRE PRACTICE.
The Iroquois Inquest Develops Worse Features Each Day.
PROPER INSTRUCTIONS WERE LACKING

Exits Were AIvvays Closed, and Ush-
 CTS Had No Orders In Case of Pam 1ic or Fire--Doomed House Was Crovvded--AisIes Were Full.
 CHICAGO, Jan. e.--Tbe first witness tn the Iroquois inquest was Frederick H. Req, student in law school di- re6tIy north Of the Iroquois theater. He told of placing ladders and blanks from the windows of the law school to pIatfornas of the fire escape and of a number of people who were rescued in that manner.
 Madeline Dupont, one Of the girls in the double octette. which was on the stage at the time the fire broke out was tain which was lowered was the asbes- k1s curtain.
 Edith Williams, another member of the double octette, who tainted on the stage at the outset of the fire, was called and after taking the oath tainted again, falling from the stand and roll ing to the floor before she could be caught She was removed from the room and did not testify.
 Ethel Wynne of New York, member of the 'tMr. Rluebeard" company, de- scribed the commencement of the fire ands told. of Stage Manager Plunkett ringing the bell for the curtain to fall. She said she started for the back door of the theater, but became confused and went back upon the stage again. She did not know how she escaped from the theater. a
 Willard Sayles, former usher at the Troquois, testified that the exits on the north side of the theater were always closed.
 They caught with a spring lock, and during his time at the theater he had never seen any of them open. As far as he knew none of the ushers had any instructions concerning their duties in case of lire.
 Gilbert MacLean, one of the stage hands who had been in the theater since it's opening, swore that he had never known of any protection >provid- ed against fire with the exception of some tubes of fire extinguishers. No instructions had ever been given as far as he knew as to the duties of employ ses in fire or a panic.
 Ruppert D. Laughlin testified that he had seats in the first row of the second hAlccny and that the balcony was so crowded that numbers of women were standing or sitting in the aisles, mak- fng 1t difficult for him to reach his seat. He declared that the inner doors of the exits opened inward instead of out ward. but when questioned closely by Coroner Traeger declared he was not sure about it.

has taken place near the islands of Tsushima, in the strait of Korea, about midway between Korea and Kiushiu.
 The text of the Russian reply to Ja- pans last note has been received at the Japanese legation here. At the lega- ton the opinion is held that the reply nnese contentious.
 The Russian ambassador, Count Benckendorff, and the Japanese minis ter, Baron Hayashi, have visited the foreign office and had half hour con- ferences with Lord Lansdowne, to whom the text of the Russian reply to Japan was communicated.
 The British government Is continuing it's efforts in the interests of peace.
 The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Seoul says that guards for the for eign legations are still arriving there and that twenty British, forty Ameri. can and thirty Russian guards have aI- ready arrived
 Tokyo advices say that the elder statesmen of Japan did not hold a con- ference, as arranged, but will probably confer at an early date.
 Tn the meanwhile the widest rumors are current.
 The press unanimously demands that the government take decisive action, thereby preventing Russia from gain ing advantages by further dilatory tao tics.
 The people repose confidence in the governments ability to rise to the op- portunity. Russia's answer to Japan makes far reaching concessions respecting Korea. and the concessions are equivalent to permitting the occupation of Korea by Japan On lines somewhat similar to the position of Great Britain in Egypt, but Russia firmly rejects any right of Japan to mingle in affairs in Manchu- ria

BEST OF. FOUR TO FIGHT .IEFFRIES

While Champion Jim Jeffries is idle, pugilistic managers are busy trying to find man capable of making things interesting for the big fighter from the west
 Billy Madden, manager of Gus Ruh- lin. thinks he has evolved a plan whereby a fan will be found to give JeRries an argument.
 Madden says that the four men best fitted to face Jeffries are Gus Ruhlin, Tom Sharkey. Marvin Hart and Jack Munroe. AS Munroe Is now matched to fight Sharkey, be proposes that Hart and Ruhlin be also matched. When these two fights are settled, he says, fight should be arranged be- tween the winners and that the victor ious man be pitted against Jeffries. Madden in talking of his plan said: "Jeffries will always fight when he thinks bis opponent is good one. He does not pay much attention to the challenges fired at him at random, 1t is true he has beaten Sharkey and Ruhlfn. but he has never met Hart or Munroe. don't count that Montana four-round affair as g fight. am willing to let Ruhlip fight Hart Tn fact am anxious to see the two meet. Hart is "a good man, growing all the time and terrific hitter. I understand he wants to fight Munroe, but he cannot do that now, for the Montana man is matched with Tom Sharkey. IT he can whip Ruhlin then he will have the chance to fight Mum roe or Sharkey. am ready to put Ruhlin in the ring at any place and at any time. Now. of Sharkey and Nun roe really want to fight Jeffries here is the chance. The public would like to see the champion fight the best of the four men, but I don't believe it cares to see him fight all four in turn.''

 Australia, was hera1ded as a man who
 could take any amount of punishment
 without fiinching. His battles --.+~
 Jack Burke. Jem Smith and Jake Kill rain showed that the high estimate of his ability in taking t'gaff' were not aniss and the manner in which he
 waded through those people when they were at the height of their career left no further doubt in the minds of his friends as to his prowess- In fact he was held in such high esteem in the
 minds of Sullivan's friends that when Slavin went to the Southern hotel in St Louis and shook $5.OOO under the very nose of Sullivan, then an undefeated man, the .sbig fellow refused a meet ing. saying that he had retired from the ring and was perfectly willing to hand the championship over to Lle sturdy and hustling Australian. Then came Slavtn's fight with Jackson, and
 to this day it Is referred to as the greatest battle that ever took place in England For ten rounds these won derful lighters stood up before each other. and 1t wassgive and take all the time.

THE WHEELMEN.
M'FARLAND BREAKS
 HIS COLLAR BONE.

After two months of successive vic- tories from fifteen and twenty yards 'sback of scrateh.'' in Australia, Iver Lawson and Floyd Mcfarland met with misfortune and failed to capture the greatest event of all the Austr l1 wheel race, with its first prize of $2,- 800. The final of the Austral was run on the Melbourn cricket grounds on December 12. The grass course was rough and Mcfarland fell and broke his collar bone. This spoiled all plans for team work and Lawson sat up and ceased striving. The race was won 0y mark. Hawker, 800 vars. was second. and Meyer, 320 yards, was third.
 The AustraI remains the greatest cy- cling race in the world, although the Sydney Thousand has during the last three years supplanted 1t as the race offering the biggest purse. The new contest hangs up purse of Al.OOO, but the Austral with its G5On for first, G 14O for second and E7o for third, will always be more classic event, because of its more strenuous character and it's historic associations
 The Austral Is two-mile handicap and Is run on grass course which makes the going dangerous unless the weather is fine. It Is run in g series of trials and semi-finals, extending over three Saturdays, md is attended by immense throngs of spectators Many noted riders, Including Trimmer man. have competed in the race since it was instituted In 1886.
