One OF the custom house officials

to bringing diamonds into the coun-

both in this country and abroad, and
went about his trade with a GOODNESS

THE COMING ELECTION
FOR PRESIDENT
Large Addition to the Number OF
Votes Cast at Last Election
Expected.

What the addition to the total num-
ber of voters in the country is likely
to be this year is very hard to con-
lecture, for the reason that between
1896 and 1900, so far as the election
returns show, there was practically no
gain in the number of electors. From
1876 to 1880 there was a gain of 800,-
900; from 1880 to 1884, gain of
100000; from 1884 to 1888, gain
of 1,300,O00; from 1888 to 1892,
gain of 100000, and from 1892 to 1896,
a gain of 10000 Between 1876
and 1896 the popular vote for Presi-
Dental electors increased 65 per cent,
or from S,40O.000 to 13,900,000.
Apparently owing to the fact that
vast multitude of voters did not go to
the polls at all in 1900 the total popu-
lar vote in that year was only 10000
greater than it was in 1896; and, II
anything like a full vote Is polled next
fall there should be an enormous un-
precedented increase in the total vote.
In the eight years ended with No
vember, 1896, this vote increased
100000, and, as the population of
the country has been steadily expand
ing since 1896, the total vote this year
should show a far greater increase
than that of 1SSS96.
A thing that renders 1t extremely
difficult to forecast what the increase
in this vote may be is the fact that an
exceptionally large number of immi-
grants have landed on our shores in
recent years. In the eight years end
ed with 1903 over 3.50O,000 foreign
born persons were added to our popu-
lation, and considerable proportion
of those persons is now naturallZed,
and they will take part in the next
election. What the proportion may be,
however, it is impossible to judge.
1t is none too early for political
leaders and managers to grasp the fact
that first voters are likely to con-
stitute more important factor in the
approaching campaign than ever be-
fore, and, as a consequence, that they
are likely to prove a greater unknown
quantity than has ever been the case
hitherto. Evidently both of the great
political parties will need to do a vast
amount of missionary work If they
hope for victory in November New
York Commercial.

Ingleside Coursing Park

The rundown of the ninety-six-d dog
open stake at Ingleside Coursing Park

in its glory. but four long shots being
recorded throughout the entire round.
Young Johnnie Rex beat out Black

Rose of Gold took honors at 4 to 1 from

Some great coursing is looked for in
to-day's finals. Restless Acrobat and
Full Moon will meet early in the go
ing, and the winner of this course will
be heavily backed to secure final hon
ors. Doc Burns, Clover Blossom, Young

Los ANGELES, March 26.-Oscar
Graham was in good form to-day and
the best the Angels could get was
three hits off his delivery. Gray
pitched good ball for the home team,
but the visitors. landed on him for
nine hits, three of them being doubles.
Gray got touched up badly in the

a single and went to second on Ross

again and the only thing 1 specify Is
that the weight be 130 pounds at
o'clock. Britt can fix the purse any
way he desires and he can nave
$4,000 side bet if he wants."
Corbett is particularly bitter against
Graney. He says he was told he
would get the worst of the decision
If Britt was on his feet at the end Of
twenty rounds.
Corbett and his party will leave this
morning for Chicago, where he will
box Mowatt next Saturday. He will
then go on to Boston.
CAN SCOFF AT CANS.
While no championship was involved
in Friday nights contest the outcome
practically makes Britt the worlds
lightweight champion. He can scoff at
the pretensions of Joe Cans. now that
he has proved his mettle against so
good a man as Young Corbett. 1t is the
general impression that Cans has so far
outgrown the lightweight limit that he
can do but little better than 1873 pounds.
Britt and Corbett fought at a weight
between two recognized classes. AS
there cannot be distinctive class for
each pound in weight, this match car
ried no distinctive class with il.
With Cans out Of the reckoning, Britt
is conceded a clear title to the light
weight championship.
Britt and his intimateS claim that
130 pounds is his best weight. but there
was much comment on the tucked up
appearance of his body when he
stripped for the fray. 1t was the i'm
preston of some representative medi-
cal men who watched him closely that
he was at a weight which would work
irreparable damage to him if he made
it again.
Britt points to the fact that he recu-
perated readily after each fierce rally
to show that his vitality had not been i'm
paired. The medical men said it was
only his youth that carried him through
the ordeal in safety.

N-Rars From Plants.

Botanists have recently been investi-
eating the N-rays, and we are told
that they are emitted from plants, as
we'll as from nerves and muscles, and
that the fluCrescent screen will glow
when brought near to the plant, espe-
cially the leaves and the roots, where
the effect is more pronounced than in
the case Of the flower. N-rays are
emitted from such plants as onions and
mushrooms, so that they do not seem
to depend upon the presence Of chlOrO-
phyll or green cOloring matter, their
intensity being apparently due to the
activity and condition of the vegetable
protOplasm. This was shown by the
fact that the N-rays were produced
from terminated seedlings and not
from those which had not terminated,
while their emission was stopped en-
tirely on using chIorofOrm TO suspend
the vital activity of the plant.-Har-
per's Weekly.

said the butcher, "and l won't be down

The Britt-Corbett fight Of Friday
night was the principal theme or con-
versation yesterday in the CLUBS ana
in the sporting resorts. Many fr1eno-
ships were strained to the breaking
point as arguments grew heated over
the business of the decision rendered
by Referee Graney.
After thinking it over calmly the ad-
herents of Young Corbett, outside ms
immediate circle of friends, admitted
that the best they expected was
draw" decision.
The appearance of the two men yes
terday was reminiscent of the last
fight between Jeffries and Fitzsim-
mons. The day after the fight Fitz-
simmons, who was defeated, appeared
on the streets with an injured hand as
the only sign of the encounter in which
he had taken part. Champion JET
fries, with his cut and battered face,
was sight.
Corbett was about yesterday and the
only visible mark on him was the cut
over the left eye, which he sustained
in q humping match with Britt The
little Denver man complained after
the fight of soreness about the body
and it hurt him to take a deep breath.
He made little of that yesterday.
BRITT NOT PRESENTABLE.
Britt was not presentable as to face,
but bodily and mentally he was active
and alert. His face was discolored and
cut and his right hand and forearm
were out of commission. The hand Will
be subjected to an examination under
the X-ray, while the arm will prob
ably be placed in plaster cast for sew
eral weeks.
As a balm to Jimmy's feelings a
statement of the box office receipts was
shown him. The total receipts were
$33, 900, although the attendance repre-
sented a house of fully $4,000. Many
were passed in by city officials and
others. Britts share for the eighty
minutes of fighting was $15,592 So Cor
belts losers end was S9157 90. The pro-
moters' share was $3.50.
Britt said yesterday that while he was
tired at times during the fight he was
never groggy from punishment. He
said there was no time during the fight
when Corbett had a chance to beat
him. He expressed a willingness to give
Corbett a return match later in the
year. Britts plans for the future are
at present uniformed. He knows gold
en- harvest awaits him in the East and
he will undoubtedly make the pilgrim
age across the continent at the earliest
opportunity. He received fully fifty tel
egrams yesterday offering him boxing
and theatrical engagements.
