 Stepped Into The Ring--Bout Finally Declared on.
 Philadelphia, Pa, JulyS. The six round boxing bout between Bob Fitz- simmons and Jack O'Brien. which was to have taken place at the Philadel- phia National league baseball park to- night for the benefit of the Evening
 Telegraph free ice fund. was declared Ioff late this afternoon by the manage Ement on account of the action of May for Weaver in issuing orders to the po- lice to stop the contest. The mayor Iheld that such a contest would be a lprize fight and therefore violation of the law. He warned the management that he would order the police to arr rest the fighters the moment they lstepped into the ring.
 The first intimation that the fight may be stopped was received this aft lernoon by the management after a pro- test had been filed at the office of the
 director of public safety, who is the
 head of the police department. An ex- lplanation was made to the mayor, who expressed himself as satisfied, but later in the afternoon he announced he had
 changed his mind. and would not com A. &alr 1,,is, \ It is understood that the mayors ac- ton was the result of protests received

OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
1T HALF WAY MARK STEWART
 GARDNER LEADS.

A scant Two Strokes Ahead of Willie Anderson, the Present Title Holder Mackenzie, the Ex-Amateur Cham pion of Scotland and Horace RawI-
 ins, the First Holder of the Honor,
 Tied for Third Place.
 Chicago, July s-At the half way mark in the tenth anual open cham pionship of the U. S. Golf association, begun on the links of the Glenvi'aw club to-day. Stewart Gardner, the pro- fessional of the Garden City Golf elu, of Long Island, N. M, leads the field l by a scant two strokes. Close behind lhim is the present title holder, Willie Anderson, of the Apawamis Golf club of Rye, N. r., and tied for third are Freddie Mackenzie. the ex-champion, of Scotland, who came over to be present at the onmentsia club, Lake Forest, III, this spring. and Horace Rawlins. winner of the first championship of the association in 1895.
 Considering the conditions, the class of golf put up by the field was excel- lent. Rain in the night and during the morning made the going heavy, yet Gardner got rounds of 75 and T6, for a S6 hole total of 151. Anderson tied his score of the morning after a poor start, but IS was the best he could do in the lafternoon Mackenzie pleased his On- wentsia admirers with a IS in the first round, but took 79 in the afternoon and RaWlins figures were just the reverse of the Onwentsia mans.
 ] H. Chandler Egan ex-western cham pion, intercollegiate and Harvard cham pion leads the amateurs with rounds of S4 and 79 for total of 163, but even a dozen men separated him from the top. With improvement tomorrow he may land among the lucky ten who win prizes. Walter E. Egan, western champion is out of the running, as his score, 174, is 15 strokes behind the ten Headers. By the terms of the cornpeti- tion he and about twenty others who did as poorly are out of further com lpetition.
 James FouIis, professional of the Chi cago Golf club. and open champion of ! 1896, surprised all the golfers by re- turning a score of "A late in the after noon and getting a total of 157. The "A was the best medal score for IS holes during the day.

 Over Wide Territory.
 St. Petersburg. July &, 5:47 p. m.-- The war office confirms the reports Of the Japanese advance toward Kat Chou, but 1t is inclined to regard the movement as d demonstration south, while changing the disposition of troops to make an attack elsewhere. Danger is considered to De rncFY likely from the direction of Ia or Fen Shui passes, although there is no sign of move in force thence. Yet the advance upon Kai Chou extends oyer a front of if Iteen miles. and includes about SO,o0o men. The Japanese center is at Tai Si Shan, on the Chou river, eight miles southeast of Kai Chou. Constant slSir- mishing with Generals samsonoff and Chirikoff is occurring as the Japanese move forward along the railroad and from the Siu Yen mountains.
 The military expert of the Russkyja tviedomosti believes General Kuropat- kin has now decided to accept a gen eral engagement near Lia Yang, wherefore he is not offering strong re- sistance to the advance of the Japanese from Feng Wang Cheng. desiring to draw them on to his own selected ground.
 General Saiharoff, commander of the leastern army, in a long dispatch to the general staff. dated yesterday, re- ports outpost slSirrnishes over wide territory throughout July and 6 which indicate general advance of the Japanese, who are driving back the Russian advance posts. sakharoff says the Russian losses during the fighting of July s have not been definitely as lcertained, but 1t Is known that two of ficers and fifteen men were killed or wounded He says

LOOMS, COMPANION ILL.
Treaty Bearer Seriously stricken or
 His Way to Abyssiniu.

Paris, July s.-A private letter from a member of the party accompanying W. H. Ellis to Abyssinia says the latter was taken seriously sick on board the steamer oxus, and was in the doctors care. His illness, however, is not con- sidered likely to interrupt his mission to Emperor Menelik. Ellis was quite sick while here. owing to worry over Loomis disappearance, and an acute toothache, requiring frequent hypoder- mic injections to overcome the pain and nervous tension.
 Jibutil, French somaliland. July S. w. H. Ellis, carrying the treaty of commerce between United States and Abyssinia to Emperor Menelik, arrived here to-day from Marseilles on the French steamer oxus. He says he has heard nothing whatever concerning F.. Kent Loomis. His plans for proceeding to Abyssinia are not yet completed.

London, July 9.-s:sO a. m.--The lat est information points to the conclusion htat only one boat load of survivors of the wrecked Danish steamer Norge was picked up yesterday. The dispatch from Leith, Scotland, saying that nine teen survivors had been landed at Thorshaven, Farce Islands, and the dis patch from Glasgow saying that a boat containing eleven passengers, eight sailors and one child had reached the Shetland islands. probably referred to the same boat The facts have pot yet been definitely established, but it would appear that only twenty can be wiped off the list of missing.
