Insured Square Bout.

BY eliminating the betting feature the
referee forced the men to put up an
honest bout and battle, for the purse
alone. There was no opportunity 10
fake, have one of them throw a pretty
little knockout and then collect wagers
from the poolrooms and big individual
bettors, which would make his end of
the purse look like a car ticket. The re-
suit showed that Graney's unprecedent-
ed action certainly would result in
real contest. for there has not been
the slightest whisper to the effect that
the men did not try their best or that
Britt was Tot put to sleep as thoroughly
as any defeated boxer who ever entered

What Graney's motive was in calling

TORPEDO BOAT SIGHTED.

Tokio, May 6.-Four Russian torpe- do boat destroyers from Vladivostok appeared westward of HOkkaido, off Subu, yesterday. They seized and burned small sailing vessel and i'm prisoned the captain and disappeared to the northwest They were evident ly returning to Vladivostok. There is possibility that they have destroyed other small craft, although no reports to that effect have been received. The object of their visit is not clear. It IS thought that probably they hoped to torpedo the Japanese patrol at night, and 1t is also suggested that the Vladi- vostOk vessels plan diversion to as- sist the fleet of Admiral RojestvensKy.
 Although none has been sighted it is believed the larger vessels of the Vladivostok squadron accompanied the torpedo boats. It is doubted if the lat ter would venture across unescOrted in the heavy sea which was running when they burned the sailing vessel.
 All the crew of this vessel except the captain, who was captured, suc- ceeded in landing, but steamer dis patched to the rescue of the burning derelict was forced to return on ac- count of the storm. The Russians poured kerosene on the deck of the sailing vessel and withdrew after hay ing ignited the surface of the oil. The torpedo boats have not been reported to-day.

 The operatives here are taking cour- age but they are not inclined as a whole to express their opinions on the wage issue until after they hear from Governor Douglas osn the question of margins. a subject which was referred to him when the great strike was set tIai last winter. Conditions are more favorable to both manufacturers and operatives than they have been at any time since the strike although the city has not yet recovered from that six months period of idleness.
 Most of the New England mill cen ters report a strong demand for almost all classes of goods with sales at fair profit.
 The export trade is the feature of the market. A number of large plants are building additions and adding to their equipment
