Peter jackson Vanquished

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien was
awarded the decision last night by
Referee Charley White over Young
Peter jackson, of Baltimore. After ten
rounds of fighting before the Eureka
Athletic Club, Of the Monumental City,
O. Brien proved himself too clever for
the negro and had the advantage of
every round except the fifth and sixth,
when Jackson managed to land on
Jacks face and struck and hurt the
Philadelphia.
The agreement to fight clean breaks
greatly handicapped Jackson, as Peter
does his most effective work OIL might
ing. Jackson tried his best to bore in,
and yainly attempted to land knock
out punch, but O'Brein was far too
willy and simply danced in and out,
lsbbing away at Jackson, and had the
colored boy guessing by his clever foot
work.
At the first tap of the bell, Jackson
tried to force matters, but o. Brieu stab
bed his left to the face repeatedly,
which soon stopped Peters running.
Jackson kept trying for the head with
his right, but Jack kept out of harms
reach.
In the second and third rounds
o. Brien played for Jackson's stomach
and had but little difficulty in landing
but his blows lacked the necessary
force. Jackson was in prime form.
In the 6fh Jackson caught Jack right
and left to face and right to the stomach
in quick succession that brought o. Brief
to a cIinch and had him hugging. A
the end Of the round Jack was plainly
in distress. He rounded around, though b
in good form, and came back strong II
the sixth and kept jabbing Jackson IL
the face, and had his face and mouth
bleeding. Jackson was unable to lan'
effectively, although he did considerable
aggressive work.
From this time on until the hnisnl
O. Brien outfought his dusky adversary a
every stage of the game, and the dec'
sion awarding him the contest was iaVor'
ably received by The 3, 900 spectators.

Immigration Records Broken.

II the present unusual flow of inn
migrants to the United States continues
until July /, all immigration records
will be broken and the total number OF
immigrants admitted into the country
will amount to more than | 900, 900 per-
sons during the IL months which will
end June 30 next. The record up to
the present time is that of the fi-cal
wear 1903 during which S57, 046 i'm
migrants arrived in the United States
The total Dumber ofimmigrants arriving
in the United States during the seven
months ending February % was 523,
445. In February alone g., i'm
mi rants were admitted, and the num-
Der which arrived during March was
much greater.
The bulk ofthe immigrants come from
Russia, Italy and Austria Hungary.
Emigration from Russia has been ON the
Increase since 1902, but it took an up
ward bound in 1908. Local troubles
started an exodus frjm that country
several years ago, nut the outbreak OF
the war with Japan produced STAN
pede, which is continuing. During the
month of February, 1905, the number
of immigrants from Russia was II, ,99S,
or an increase of so p cent. over 1908.
Since January l, 1903, 1915 have
been admitted To the United States.
Henry w. Diedrich, American Consul
at Bremen, Germany, says that more
than 100, 600 immigrants pass that city
on their way to the United States every
year, and the larger number OF rejected
cases indicate that the character OF a
number of the immigrants passing
through Bremen last year fell below the
usual standard. Thousands OF other
Russians of the lowest type were rushed
over to England through the ports OF
Libau, Hamburg, Bremen and Rotter-
dam. Then everything was done to ril
the city Of London of these Russians by
assisting them t. America.
"These immigrants" Consul Died

seems but little probability that such as
these will be lifted by our institutions
and civilization.

been in recent months, that of Austria-
Hungary has far surpassed it, being
