RUHLIN KNOCKS OUT MCCORMICK
Akron Giant Wins n Slow and Feat
ureIess Fight at 'CoImn, Cal, in
Eighteenth Round.

COLMA, Cal, Aug. 11.-About 200 sport
enthusiasts came to Colma tonight to wit
ness the scheduled 5-round go, between the
two big fellows Gus Rubin, the Akron
Giant and Jimmie Mccormick. Mccormick
was knocked out in the eighteenth round Of
one Of the poorest contests ever witnessed
in this ring
Mccormick was very slow and did not
show to advantage at any stage of the
game. The bout all through consisted
mainly of sparring and clinching, Very
few effective blows were struck at any time
The honors were fairly even up TO the
fourteenth round. After that Mccormick
was at the mercy of the Akron boy, but
the latter did not have the force to his
blows necessary to wind up matters until
the eighteenth. In this round Rubin landed
a succession of short arm blows to the body
and jaw. Mccormick went down for the
count of eight, but on getting up was
again hoored with a left to the jaw and was
counted out.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE session
this afternoon of the International Brother
hood of Transfers was the stormiest In
the history OF the union. Physical vio-
lence was several times narrowly averted.
Nothing was accomplished and the con-
vention was adjourned until tomorrow to
permit the delegates to cool down. The
disorder was the result of motion made
by G. W. Briggs to endorse the Chicago
strike AS soon as the motion was made
there was an uproar. Men in all parts
of the hall began shouting and shook their
fists at one another. .....
p. j. McDermott of New York wanted
the convention to go into executive session,
but this was vigorously opposed by Presi-
dent c. p Shea, who took the floor and
said he wanted the world TO know the
truth concerning the Chicago strike. The
motion to go into secret session was de-
feated This caused another uproar and
large body OF delegates in the rear OF
the hall, who were in favor of an ex-
ecutive session, made a rush toward the
front of the hail. where the Shea delegates
met them. For moment II looked as
though there would be clash, but Presi-
dent Shea by the vigorous use of his gavel
brought a semblance of order.
1T does not matter what delegates have
in their pockets" he shouted, this con-
vention must be conducted in an orderly
manner" ...

BRADsTREETs REVIEW OF TRADE

morrow will. say:
FAN trade, stimulated by excellent crop
advices continues to expand at whole
sale. Increased purchases a wider range

collections are noted east west and south

the west are dry goods, notions, hardware,
lumber, groceries and shoes.

written reply, has been received with
general satisfaction.
Statements credited to NJ. Witte had Gre
ated the impression that possibly his Gre
dentials had been found defective. The
Japanese people are following the proceed
ings at Portsmouth keenly, but calmly.
They are hopeful of peace, but are in
sistant upon satisfactory conditions and
are prepared to continue the struggle IL
the negotiations fail.
Opinion in Great Britain.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Japanese peace
terms exclusively given in the Portsmouth
dispatches of the Associated Press are not
considered excessive by the British gov
eminent, nor as being sensibly reducible in
the main points The terms the emperor of
Japan proposed to put forward in the pres
ent negotiations were not communicated
officially to the allied government; but after
the battle of Mukden the Foreign office
was informed to what terms would then
be acceptable, and has since become aware
that with the victory in the Sea of Japan
and the occupation of Sakhalin, the de-
mands would be increased.
Since the naval victory and the occupation
of Sakhalin the Japanese have added the
cession of the island, the grant Of fishing
rights. the handing over of the informed
warships and the limitation of Russian
naval strength in the far east to their pre-
vious demands
The expenses of the war to the Japanese
are estimated here to be in the neighbor-
hood of $55O,OOOOOO, and It is thought that
this is about the amount that will be de-
manded as reimbursement"
| Russians in London consider that the
naval limitations and the grant of fishery
| rights are inadmissible, but incline to the
! belief that Sakhalin will be coded, and eX7
| pect negotiations on the subject of 'reim-
bursements for war expenses"
| Say Russia VIII Pay.
| BERLIN, Aug. 12-The newspapers this
| morning seem disinclined a whole to
! express their opinion on the japanese peace
terms Some regard them as hard for Rus
| STA, but say that they are only what was
| to be expected.
| Russian utterances at Portsmouth and st.
| Petersburg pronouncing the terms unac-
ceptable are treated here as signifying moth
! ing. It is pointed out that the French
! talked in the same way in 1871 concerning
! the cession of Alsace- Lorraine, but they
| agreed to II rather than prosecute a hope
| less war.
Baron Komura's Withholding OF the
amount Japan will ask as reimbursement
for war expenses is regarded as shrewd
move designed TO get the Russian commits;
| sioners to accept the proposition that Rus
STA must bear them before the Russian
authorities and public become incensed at
the specific amount.
