muNRoE KNOCKED OUT.
James J. Jeffries Still Heavy Weight
Champion.

San Francisco. Aug. 27.-Like tho
veriest amateur in the prize ring.
Jack Munroe Of Butte. Montana, went
down and out before Champion James
j. Jefrries last night in the second
round.
The man from the mining district
made such an extremely sorry showing
that the great throng in Mechanics
Pavilion roundly hooted him as he pro-
tested to Referee Graney against the
decision that had been given in favor
Of Jeffries.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when 1t was fore
seen that the aspirations Of Munroe
would be quickly disposed of.
The miner was scared and awkward
and JefYries in the first round had him
twice on the canvas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach OF his opponent
and each shot was followed by blow
on the Jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees.
Jerries went back to his corner
after the first round with a sneer and
a laugh on his swarthy face. while
Munroes seconds busted themselves
with smelling salts and restoratives.
When the two came together for the
second round the laugh on the cham
pion's visage changed to n look of de-
termination that boded i'll to the
miner.
Fifty-fve seconds after the gong
sounded. Munroe was lying on the
floor bruised mass of humanity.
with Jeffries standing over him ready.
II necessary, to put the quietus on the
championship abilities Of his adver-
sary. The miner was too dazed to
rise to his feet. and the timekeepers
counted him out. but the husky man
from southern California did not un-
derstand that the victory was already
his nor could Munroe realize that his
pugilistic star had SO early set. and
the two men in a moment or two were
facing one another and Jeffries landed
a terrific blow on the Jaw OF his stag
gering opponent.
1t was at this time that Graney
came forward and ordered Jeffries
away. telling him that the fight was
ended in his favor.
From the time the bell rang for the
commencement of the battle to the
time that the count of ten had been
uttered against Munroe. only four
minutes and forty-hve seconds had
elapsed. The fight demonstrated. II
nothing else, that the world has yet to
produce a pugilist who will displace
James J. Jeffries as champion of the
world.
A great throng witnessed the con-
test. Estimates of the number in at
tendance range from 1000 to 5000.
and 1t Is believed that the gate re-
ceipts will approximate $685.
the miners showing was disap-
pointment to those who had the con-
fidence that he would at least repeat
in some degree his performance In
Butte. when Jeffries failed to put him
out in four rounds.

CONE TO DENVER
OFFICES OF MINING CONGRESS
Lafe Pence Lugs in Mormon Question.
Utah Men Indignant, but Peace
Finally Prevails and Dem
YER Wins,

Portland Ore, Aug. 27.-The Ameri-
can Mining Congress relapsed into the
routine of the official programme after
having spent the greater part Of twen-
ty-four hours in a hard-fought contest
over the location OF the permanent
headquarters. which terminated yester-
day afternoon with the decision in IA
vor OF Denver.
Preceding the vote on the question
of the permanent headquarters there
was a love feast among the delegates
from Salt Lake and Denver. who ex-
pressed great regret over the unhappy
occurrence OF Thursday afternoon.
when uncomplimentary words were
banded from one delegation to the
other because of the fact that the Nor
mon question had been interjected into
the debate over the permanent head
quarters.
I-afe Pence, who spoke Thursday in
behalf OF Denver, in the course Of his
remarks adverted to the Mormon
problem and instantly the convention
was thrown into a state OF intense ex-
citement that permeated the proceed
ings for the remainder OF the after
noon and engendered a bitterness that
has not before been manifested.
Mr.. Pence's insinuation that Salt
Lake was noted chiefly as the home OF
polygamy aroused intense Indignation
among the Utah delegation.
A feature of the afternoon session
was the election of Joseph T. Corn
forth of Alaska former Coloradan
as an honorary life member of the
congress. The honor was token of
appreciation OF Mr.. Cornforth's serv-
ices to the mining industry in that he
was one of the founders of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress and has given 1t
substantial and valuable assistance in
its growth since.

Balloon Voyage Failed.

st. Louis. Aug. 2s.-Carl Meyers. the
aeronaut. who started in a race from
the Worlds Fair grounds yesterday
for the Washington monument and
whose balloon landed near st. Charles
last night, returned to the city to-day.
Professor Meyers said he landed
where he did because he feared he
would be unable to catch the upper
air current that would take him east.
After leaving the Worlds Fair grounds
the balloon was carried in a north
westerly direction. Neither he nor the
balloon was injured. the professor said.
The balloon of George f. Tomlinson.
who started in the race with Professor
Meyers. was seen last night anchored
in a prairie several miles north of St.
Charles. A farmer said that when 1t
passed over his house the rope was
dragging on the ground. Later 1t
passed over Avon. Illinois.

Las Vegas. N. NJ. Aug. 27.-The
Democratic convention yesterday af-
ternoon, by a vote of III to SO, chose
George p. Money over Jerry Simpson
as the nominee for delegate in Con-

The Democratic platform comes out
for single statehood and home rule.
although a strong faction of the com
mittee on resolutions urged the adop-
ton of a clause declaring in favor OF
joint statehood II single statehood could
not be secured.
The resolutions condemn the present

On the morrow Edith and Mrs.

Half an hour later she stopped in

Peter Burt came towards her. There

"Since the Republican party was

lead of Mckinley. our country has
merce as 1t has never prospered be-
fore. In wealth we stand first among
all the nations"
Not less plain and positive on the
subject of vital importance of the
protective tariff as an issue was Pres
ident Roosevelt in reply. He did not
hesitate to declare himself in har-
mony with the proposition that pro-
lection is and must continue to be the
settled. permanent policy OF the Re-
publican party when he said:
I'VE have enacted tariff law un-

material well being never before
reached. Wages are higher than ever
before. That whenever the need arises
there should be readjustment OF the
tariff schedules is undoubted; but
such changes can with safety be made
only by those whose devotion to the
principle of a protective tariff is be-
yond question; for otherwise the
changes would amount not to read
justment. but to repeal. The read
justment when made must maintain
and not destroy the protective prin-
ciple. To the farmer. the merchant,
the manufacturer, this is vital; but
perhaps no other man Is SO much In
terested as the wage worker in the
maintenance of our present economic
system, both as regards the finances
and the tariff. The standard of living
of our wage workers is higher than
that of any other country. and 1t can
not SO remain unless we have pro-
tective tariff which shall always keep
as a minimum n rate of duty sufii-
cient to cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad. Those
who. like our opponents, 'denounce
protection as robbery thereby ex-
plicitly commit themselves to the
proposition that If they were to re-
wise the tariff no heed would be paid
to the necessity of meeting this diff
ference between the standards of liv-
ing for wage workers here and in
other countries; and therefore on this
point their antagonism to our position
is fundamental.
Here again we ask that their
promises and ours be judged by what
has been done in the immediate past.
We ask that sober and sensible men
compare the workings of the present
tariff law. and the conditions which
obtain under 1t, with the workings of
the preceding tariff law of 1894 and
the conditions which that tariff of
1894 helped to bring about"
