m the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
 Director of the Mint Roberts is telling good story on an Iowa friend with whom he recently visited the Lewis and Clark exposition grounds at Portland' Ore. The Iowa man had been accustomed to receiving railroad passes and dead head tickets at theatres. so when he was confronted with sign announcing the admission charge of 50 cents to the grounds he was inclined to balk.
 Here, he said to his friend Roberts. T don't like the idea of paying 50 cents to get in there. Wait a minute and il hunt up these fellows who are running the show, Lewis and Clark, and see if cant get a pass"

The crops.

Henry clews' stock market letter of Saturdays date says:
 'The larger factors in the financial sit uation are at the moment so conflicting as to seem to promise summer of err rattle price movements. Crop conditions, it is true, have shown fair improvement during the week; winter wheat indica- tions are for harvest well up to the record if not in excess of 1t, and spring wheat has made good progress after what has unquestionably been a poor start corn-the pivotal point of agricultural prosperty-is still rather uncertain and will require exceptionally favorable weather to regain lost headway. But 1t is we'll known how promptly and con- pletely a few days of fine, forcing weath. CT can change the farmers outlook and completely eliminate a chain of untoward preliminary conditions.
 Tt may safely be assumed that crop accounts official and unofficial, will be active market influences during the next few weeks, and that the season is at hand when the crop-kiler' will be heard with his accustomed energy. But calm reception of crop disaster reports has in the past usually proven the part of wis dom; the country is a big country-its corn acreage last year covered about 145'OO0 square miles and it's wheat area was upward of 10000 squaro miles-and an absolute crop failure over very sub- stantial area may usually be experienced without measurably affecting tn, ultimate result"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 The age for being no fool like an old fool Is always one year ahead of where you are.
 It is simply amazing what long runs of luck some men can have to remain bachelors.
 There's something terribly generous about the way a man can spend some other fellows money for him.
 A woman considers she is perfectly dressed for summer when she appears to have on even less that she has.
 If she can't find any other reason for doing 1t, a girl will marry man to make some other girl mad about 1t.

HANLeN DEFEATS CORBETT
FORMER CHAMPION IS FOUGHT
 TO 4 sTANDSTILL. #

Exciting Fight from start to Finish Decision Practically Earned in the
 Last Few Rounds--IIanIon Floored in
 the Eleventh and k Compelled to
 Take the Count but Comes Up Strong. San Francisco, June 2.-Eddie Han Ion fought Young Corbett to a stand- still during the last few rounds of a 2O-round contest and got a hard earned decision from Referee Homan at the end of tthe twentieth round.
 The fight was an exciting one from start to finish. During the first part of the contest Hanlon had a slight ad- vantage, but no harm was done to either man until the eleventh round. Then Hanlon rushed Corbett to the ropes, but the Denver man stalled Hanlon off and blocked number of stomach punches.
 Corbett got to the center of the ring and in a niix-up put left and right swings on Hanlon's jaw. Hanlon went to his knees and took the count of nine. He came up fighting and in spite of Corbett's strenuous efforts to put him out, he finished the round strong. For the next four rounds Corbett went
 at his man, and in the thirteenth had Hanlon very tired. Hanlon braced up ill the fourteenth and seemed to have a slight margin over Corbett. The tif- teenth round was about even. Han- Ion landed a left and right to the jaw, { but did not harm. The sixteenth round was Corbett's. The seventeenth was Hanlon's round. The eighteenth was about even, although Corbett had
 U shade the better of it at the end. The nineteenth and twentieth were all Hanlon's. All during the nineteenth he stood up close to Corbett, pounding away at the Denver boys stomach. Corbett was tired and could not hit back.
 | In the twentieth Hanlon came up strong and went right at his man. They stood breast to breast, each with his head to the others shoulder, and slug
 ged for all that was in them. Hanlon was the stronger and forced Corbett around the ring, playing a lively tattoo on his stomach. He fought Corbett against the ropes and had him at his
 mercy. Corbett came very near going
 off the platform, but staggered back to
 the center of the ring. The round clos ed with both men on their feet, with Corbett all but out.
 l The decision was popular one with
 the crowd, as Hanlon in the last few
 rounds outfought Corbett.

WOULD SHOOT NEBoGATOFE.
Bitter Feeling in Russian Admiralty
 Against Him.

St. Petersburg, June 3-1:35 a. m.-- Feeling in the admiralty against Rear Admiral Nebogatoff continues to run high, the majority of the naval author ities being deaf to the appeals of the few who insist that the admirars action in surrounding his Warships should not be condemned until the circumstances become fully known. The majority say they could forgive anything but surren- der, and point to the precedent set in the case of the Russian warship Raph- ael, which in 1929, during the Russo Turkish war, struck its colors to three Turkish ships which surrounded it.

MONUMENT TO ToGo's VICToRT,
Japanese to Erect Enormous light
 house on OlxinO IsIinI.

Tokio, June 2-4:30 p. m.-In response to thousands of suggestions and in- quiries received, the department has decided to erect an enormous light
 house on okino Island as a monument to commemorate Admiral Togo's great naval victory over the Russian fleet in the battle of the Sea of Japan.
 It is planned to have the light show for distance of eighty miles, covering
 almost the entire scene of the battle. This plan has been adopted over all others because the monument will be near the scene of battle and stand con-
 stantly in the sight and memory of the officers and men of the Japanese navy, and will also be a great convenience to navigation. If there should be a fu- ture war it will prevent disasters simi-
 lar to those which overlook the trans lports Hitachi I. and Sado.
 The lighthouse will be erected by popular subscription, which it is be- lieved will be opened throughout Japan {, tomorrow.

Chicago, June 2.-Tndictments con neeted with the teamsters' strike have been voted by the grand jury and will be returned in Judge Barnes court to- morrow. The names of the men in dicted could not be ascertained this af- ternoon.
 It was reported, however, that bills would not be voted in connection with the charges made by President Shea of the Teamsterss union, that he was of- fered $1e.O00 to call a strike against Sears, Roebuck & Co. It was found that the statutes of limitation barred any indictments, and the evidence giv- en was largely of hearsay character. It was rumored that some indictments would be based on the charges of con- spiracy to lnjure the business of num- Der of large concerns, and it was said that some indictments would be found for perjury. There was nothing defi- mite. however, in any of these state- ments.

NEBoGAToFrs SURRENDER.
l Declared DIsgraceful and Unaccount- 1 nbIe--A ContemptIble SpectacIe.

abIe--A Contemptible Spectacle. London, Junes.-The Tolxio correspon- dent of the Daily Telegraph again to- day sends additional details of the na- val battle, received from Moji, Sasebo and other points < .....-.s....a a.., It is stated that when Rear Admiral Nebogatoff surrendered the Russians hoisted red flags on their toprnasts, with the Russian flags below them.
 The crews wer edrawn up in parade or der on the decks and some of the sailors were waving white, flags, The whole affair. the dispatch says, was a "contemptible spectacle"
 The correspondent of the paper who 1 witnessed the battle says that towards
 sunset when the fighting was at it's most fierce stage there were some sickening sights beyond human power iof description. . | The Sasebo correspondent describes some pathetic scenees. He saw ex- i hausted fugitive Russian sailors sitting
 on places beneath high cliffs in remote and deserted parts where there were no roads. All of them were thirsty, hungry and overwrought. Two Japan ese cruisers engaged in a nierciful search alone saved 500 Russians
 The same correspondent says that when the Japanese boarded the torpe- ] do boat destroyer Bedovi after com
 pletely disabling her, Admiral Rojest- vensky was the last man to be discov- cred. He was hiding at the bottom of I the destroyer and was bleeding freely I from many wounds. The correspondent l goes on to say: #G, Tt is understood that Admiral Nebo-
 gatoff, who is grateful for the kind l treatment given him by order of the
 mikado, will be allowed to proceed home within a few days. His surrender | was disgraceful and unaccountable. An I examination of his ship shows that
 though the guns were rusty and the l bottom of the vessels covered with sea- | weed there was no lack of fighting re-
 sources. There were heaps of ammuni- l tion and no traces of damages by the I Japanese shells
 Another correspondent of the Daily l Telegraph says that the captain of the armored cruiser Dmitri Donskoi when I interviewed admitted the foolish of | trying to force the Tsu strait He said. l ''The Japanese navy is the finest In the world. The crew were so sool and
 brave as to appear almost like demons
 and no humans"
