tion Will Likely Be Settled at
Ringside.

San Francisco, Sept. 9.-The crowds
that will make the trip to Colma to-
day to see the Britt-Nelson glove con-
test started without any definite in
formation as to who will fill the all
important position OF referee. At IL
o'clock last night Manager Nolan de-
clared positively that he would not
accept Jeffries. There the matter
stands this morning. The weather
promises to be favorable for taking
pictures Of the contest. Battling Mel
son weighed in promptly at 10 O'Clock
today at Harry Corbetts, as provided
in the articles Of agreement. His
weight was 1872 IL pounds, just hall
a pound under the stipulated weight
Britt was seven minutes late, but the
forfeit, which might have been
claimed, was waived by Nelson. Britt
tipped the scales at exactly 13;
pounds. There was no manifestation
of i'll feeling, although it is believed
the final settlement Of the referee

ASK CABINET
TO RESIGN
Leader Of Progressive Japanese
Party Suggests Such a
SENTIMENT MAY VARY
Whea It Becomes Known That Japan Is
to Have a Free Hand in Govern.
ment Of Korea.

Toxic, Sept. S.-Delayed in trans
mission) AT an informal meeting to-
day between Premier Count Katsura
and the members of both houses, rep
resenting their respective parties and
associates, Count Katsura made a
full statement regarding the peace ne
gotiations. Baron Yammamoto, the
minister of the navy, who was present
at the meeting, said that although
there was strong popular dissatis-
faction with the terms of peace, it
must be borne in mind that far heav-
ier sacrifice of life would be necessary
to take Vladiyostock than that in
volved in the capture of Port Arthur,
besides the heavy monetary outlay. 1t
was advisable, therefore, he said, to
be satisfied with the present terms.
M. Oyshi, the leader of the progress
sive party, suggested that the cabi-
net should resign after concluding
peace upon such. unsatisfactory terms.
When the fact that no stipulation
exists against the fortification of Cape
Soya and that Japan is to have free
hand in the government of Korea be-
comes known, it is expected that the
popular Indignation will be consider
ably allayed.

found him a prey to the blacklist de-

he had succeeded where the police Of
