Dave Holly has changed his mind
about boxing Jack Blackburn, and has
agreed to post a forfeit to meet the lat
ter at l36 pounds weigh in at 8 o'clock
shortly. Blackburn has an offer Of a
match with RUDE Ferus al Los Angeles
Owing TO the inability of Cy Flynn to
call off his engagement with Kid Lieb-
rich in Bradford today. the match be
tween Flynn and Bonnie O'Brien. sched-
uled for July II at Fort Erie has been
postponed indefinitely. 1t is likely now
that the Fort Erie Club will be re-
opened with the Fredericks- Supplies
match the last Of this month.
The Wisconsin men are pretty well
tired Of O'Dea, whose crews, with good
material, have been getting worse every
year, and there is some talk that he
will not be re-engaged. Columbia Will
again be coached by Jasper Goodwin
who did well with the men, and the
only changes in coaches will be made at
Harvard. where Z. G. Storrow will take
the place of Colson, and at Wisconsin
where the probable successor of O'Dea
is McConville, who coached them well in
1859.

CABBY SENTENCED TEN YEARS.
Robbed Manicurist of Garter Buckles
-Woman's Home Here.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Recorder Gof yesterday sentenced
John Moffett, cab driver, to ten years at
Sing Sing. on plea Of guilty of grand lar
ceny in the first degree.
Miss Claybourne Sheldon, nanlcurist,
whose home is in Washington, but who
lives at No. 25S West 3Sth street when in
this city, was the complainant.
On January 10 she went to the Liberty
street ferry to friend on the train for

After driving about until nearly II O'Clock
the driver came to a lonely place, and
then stopping the cab, demanded $40
The girl did not have the money, and, re-
pulsing an assault, was robbed of diamond
garter buckles, $45 in cash and silver
chatelaine bag. Moffett disappear ed, but
was captured three weeks later.
MOffett was to have been tried on q
charge of robbery in the first degree, but ,
through his counsel's advice. pleaded guilty
to grand larceny in the first degree.
Recorder Goff, in speaking of the case,
before sentencing, said: You might well
have been convicted on charge of robbery
in the first degree. You received good ad-
lieve, from investigation, is of good chal ac-
ter. Cab drivers are not any too geod by
reputation In this city, and when the eic-
ment of yici0usness is brought in besides
that of robbery. show no clemency Ten

EARrHQuAKE EXPLAINED.
Prof. Jaggar Says It Is Due to Action
of Frost.


A dispatch from Cambridge. Mass. says:
Prof. T. A.. Jaggar of Harvard. the we'll
known geologist, whose research work In
connection with the eruption at Martinique
has attracted such widespread notice. has
given out the following explanation Of the
New England earthquake:
According to Professor Wadsworth, there
is a recent deposit underlying the regions
of New York, and some parts, doubtless.
of New England, which is of glacial origin
and which frequently contains faults or
fractures. There is occasionally n slight
motion on settling. A movement of frac-
ton of an inch in one of these fractures
might produce a. perceptible jar on the
earth's surface. I do not know where the
center of last nights disturbance was.
Gould it have any special significance,
for instance, any connection with recent
volcanic action anywhere" was asked.
mot the most remote connection" said
the professor, emphatically. He continued:
It merely means that by the action Of the
frost after the winter, perhaps from a
force accumulated through the long winter
and hitherto held in check by the frost in
the ground, some of these fault planes"
have changed position. 1t might have been
in Maine somewhere, as by the reports the
disturbance seems to have been greatest in
that direction. 1t means no more ,han any
previous earthquake in this region. Such
movements are common il some 1egions,
for instance, in California.
At the Harvard observatory three shocks
We're noted The direction OF the earths
movement was not recorded by the in
struments. Prof E. c. Pickering head of
the observatory, with corps of assistants,
studied the phenomenon today. ITe made
the following statement:
About all that we could do was to esti-
mate the duration of the disturbance We
found that the shock started at one hour
four minutes and ten seconds after mid
night. and that 1T lasted several
There were two strong shocks and n third

Its Ability to Forward Troops
Questioned.
VERY MANY THEORIES
FEW FACTS HAVE BEEN AID.
vANCED TO THE PUBLIC.
Success Of Russians in Coming Cam
paign Depends Upon the Re-
sources Of the Line.

''At this time said an army officer today.
discussing the war situation in the far
east, "eur greatest source of curiosity is the
question of the ability Of the Siberian rail-
road to bring forward troops and material
Of war; Upon that will depend the success
or failure of the Russians in the coming
campaign.
II have seen a good deal of theorizing
but very few facts advanced on that sub
ject. but think enough is known to justify
a very fair conclusion. We know that in
1897 the railroad transported 100000 emf
grants. In 1898 it carried 100000 emf
grants again. and 4O0O 600 passengers in ad-
dition. In 1900 during the Boxer troubles
it brought into Manchuria "a 40 men, with
artillery and equipment and more than
II, ,407 horses-all from European Russia
The Boxer troubles lasted about three
months, and the dates when the first de-
tachment started and when the last ar
rived are not available, but 1 believe that
these figures represent daily transport of
about 900 men of all arms.
From that time till 1902 when the road
was finally completed, and since then, the
same energy that built the road has perse-
vered to remedy it's defects and to increase
it's capacity. In 1903 two brigades were
carried from Russia in Europe to Chila
east of Lake Baikal, at average rate of
eight to nine miles per hour.
Sent Trains Daily Each Way.
"a German authority states that seven
trains can be sent daily each way at the
present time. He calculates that Ger
man army corps of p, 600 men and 144 guns
would require 112 trains and 16 days to
load and route. Travelling at the speed of
the two brigades the corps would be at
Mukden in SO days, and each 16 days there
after would bring new army corps to the
front. So that If Russia had 133, 900 men
on the ground on February 10 she would
have 15S.000 men there on March 10, and
by May she would have 233 900 men.
This is rather a small estimate for sew
eral reasons Considering the experience
when the road was untried and new the in
crease to 1,500 men per day is not unrea-
sonable Seven trains per day is not heavy
service and 220 men of all arms is not
heavy load for a train. Moreover, the as
signment of artillery in the proportion of
six guns to a thousand men will probably
be excessive in a country like Manchuria.
1t is more reasonable to suppose that the
Russians will calculate on one gun for

DELHI, India, February 2S, 1904.
Famine is chronic in India. 1t has occur
red at intervals for centuries past, as long
as man remembers. as long as records have
been kept, and undoubtedly will recur for
centuries to come, although the authorities
who are responsible for the well-being of
the empire are gradually organizing to
counteract the forces of nature which they
cannot control; by increasing the food sup
ply and providing for its distribution But
there must be hunger and starvation in
India so long as the population remains as
dense as it is. The reason is not because
the earth refuses to support so many people.
There is yet vast area of fertile land un-
titled, and the fields already cultivated
would furnish food enough for a larger
population when normal conditions prevail.
There is always enough somewhere in India
for everybody even in times of sorest dis
tress. but it is not distributed equally. and
those who are short have no money to buy
