Blows Down Walls.

Paris-The siege of the house in the
village of Usseau, department OF
Deux Sevres, which an outlaw. heav-
lily armed, held in defiance OF the au-

forming a Gordon, withdrew to safe
distance, the bugles were sounded and
the melinite was exploded, destroying
half the building. Then the gen.
darmes rushed in, only to find the out

a commotion among the enormous
crowd assembled near the house had

TAMPERlNG WITH MAIL.
U. S. Inspectors Case Interests the
President.

shington.-President Roosevelt
is manifesting a particular interest in
the case of Marcus Braun, a special
inspector of the United States immi-
grafton service, who is having trouble
with officials of the AustrosHungarian
government, whom he charges with
tampering with his official mail. In
spector Braun complained of his treat
ment to Ambassador Storrer, who ca,
bled to the state department some
details of the situation.
The charge is made specifically by
Mr.. Braun that the AustrO-Hungarian
government is paying the steamship
companies a large sum each year to
bring immigrants to this country, and
also that the immigrants are being
urged not to become American citi
zens.
The president cabled for the reports
of Inspector Braun, and will go over
them himself. Tampering with the
mail of an official in foreign coun
try is serious matter, and there is nc
disposition on the part of officials Of
the department of commerce and labor
to treat the complaint of Inspector
Braun lightly.

Jeffries Retires.

Chicago.-James j. Jeffries, cham
world, has retired. Disease accom-
plished what no human being was
ever able to do. A combination of
rheumatism and malaria fever has put
the pugilist out of the fighting game
for all time, according to an an
nouncement made by Jeffries, who
has cancelled all his theatrical engage
ments and started for California in
an effort to regain his health. Jeffries
is going to Los Angeles, where he in.
tends to build home. In the future
it is his intention to devote his time
and one of his brothers possess in
Arizona.
Before leaving for the Pacific coast
Jeffries said:
THANK God, am through with box
ing. l have suffered more pain during
the last few days than in all my fights
put together. Understand, am not
physically down and out, simply full
of malaria and rheumatism, but l have
decided to retire from the prize ring
l have two reasons for taking this
course. My present physical condition
is one, and the other is because there
seems to be no one in sight to meet
me capable of giving the public rur
for it's money"
Billy Delaney, Jeffries' manager
and who practically brought Jim Cor
bett to the front, will retire from the
pugilistic field along with the cham
pion.
