JENKINS THE VICTOR.
Defeats GOtch in wrestling Match at
 New York.

New York, May 1s.-A sensational finish to a most interesting catch as catch can wrestling match between Frank Hotch of Humboldt. Iowa, con- tested at Madison Square garden to- night resulted in a clean victory for Jenkins. Jenkins won the first and third match. Gotch taking the second. Nearly an hour and a half was spent on the mat by the wrestlers in the first bout. This was the third and deciding match between the two men.
 Jenkins was the heavier of the two by at least ten pounds. but, despite sume the aggressive almost from the start. At intervals Jenkins attempted to get the upper berth, but Gotch was too slippery and finally got Jenkins all most constantly on the defensive. Jen- kins easily threw off his opponents holds and finally gaining a neck hold with a half crotch Jenkins threw Gotch easily, the Iowan seemingly weakening under the strain. Time, l hour 27 minutes 35 seconds.
 In the second round for nearly ff- teen minutes Gotch was the aggres- sor, holding and breaking, and Jenkins was vislbly at a disadvantage, but he kept on gamely, getting out of posi- ticns that might have meant disaster. Gotch never let up for a moment in obverse tactics and kept hnmmering away at the stomach of his adversary.
 Finally Gotch went in to smother Jenkins. He succeeded in getting \ a combined neck and crotch hold and won the fall. Time second bout. 35 min utes, 23 seconds.
 After rest of fifteen minutes the men got together again and indulged in a rough and tumble match which resulted in Jenkins being forced through the ropes en a log hold and neck hold combined. The referee sent the men to the center of the ring where they resumed their positions. but Gotch was the quicker to take advantage and he soon forced Jenkins to the mat. A quick turn from the Cleveland man re- versed positions. Jenkins recovered his feet and went at his man with body holds, finally throwing Gotch with double Nelson, thus winning the match. Timo of third bout, Il minutes. 10 sec- onds.

Washington Telegram to The Balti-
 more American.
 An official of the Treasury Depart ment connected with the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. where the paper money of this country is printed. achieved a reputation recently as lightning calculator. He would ask friend to take a bank note of denOmi- nation form 1 to 10-and put down the figure which is printed in blue in the upper right-hand portion of the note. Then he would ask for the privilege of a moments glance at the bank note. Then, with very superior air. he would state whether the figure on the bank note was divisible by four. or if not, what the remainder would be. He caused amazement by his unvarying accuracy.
 The explanation of the officials light ming accuracy is very simple. In the upper left-hand portion of every bank note there is printed either the letter A. the letter B. the letter c. or the let ter D. This letter bears an intimate relation to the figure which is printed on the right-hand upper portion of the note. If the serial number on the right-hand side of the note Is evenly divisible by four. the letter on the left hand side of the note Is D. Hence It is easy to figure out that when the Se- rial figure is not evenly divisible by four the other three letters indicate the remainder, the A showing that the re- mainder. after dividing by four will be 1: the B that 1t will be 9; the that It will be 8: the D that 1t will be 4: or as stated. that the serial number is evenly diviaihla hY A

SHUT DOWN FEARED.
May be Shirt, Collar and Cuf1 Strike at
 Troy.


 Troy, N. r., May 19.-A general shut down of the extensive, shirt, collar and cuff factories here is feared owing to the trouble which has existed for q fortnight between the starchers ant employers. Nine of the large factories having laundry plants are now tied up and no work is being laundered in those shops because the starchers re' fuse to handle the work.
 The trouble started in the laundry department of Cluett Peabody & Co. said to be the largest plant of the kind in the world. The employees demanded more wages, which they said had been cut down, also reinstatement Of dis charged employees. The firm refusei' and the starchers quit, together With those in the Ide plant. Material from these two was offered to other plants but the starchers refused to handle 1t and left the various shops. Thus the trouble will spread, and, as goods cannot be handled except through the laundering department, about 2.000 hands. many of them from other cities. are now without work.
 The strike is also extending along other lines. Teamsters are refusing to handle goods from the shops, while the manufacturers have been notified by the express company agents that they did not care to take the goods from the factories and endanger the men working on their wagons. Many cases that were packed for the expr3ssmen to take are unremoved.

MORTON MAKES REPLY
HIS LETTER TO HUMANE SOCIETY
 AT GALVESTON.
Secretary Says Some Very sharp Things Concernfng Alleged HI Treatment of seamen by
 Camrann ndiug OAicern.

Washington, May 19.--Secretary Nor ton has replied to a communication re- ceived a few days ago at the Navy De- pertinent from the Humane Society at Galveston which alleged that seamen on the cruiser of that name which re- gently visited the city had been ill- treated by their commanding officer. Newspaper clippings bearing on the conduct of the sailors while in port were enclosed in the society's letter.
 Secretary Morton expressed an ap- preciation of the motives moving the Humane Society and then proceeds to comment very severely upon the en- closed newspaper clippings.
 These clippings stated that many of the sailors were drunk while ashore and were confined in the "coop;" that the officers called the men profane names, and that 0 police court officer was severely assaulted aboard the ship by bluejackets. Secretary Morton says that if the facts are as stated there is a very bad element in the crew who have no proper place in the navy. and that the conduct of the men amply excused any lawful action which her commanding officer might take to pre- serve order and discipline. The Sec- retary concludes:
 'aThe Department cannot sufficiently express its regret that the men on the Galveston should have thus conducted themselves and exI resses the hope that the reports may have been exaggerated in large degree as well as the state- ments made in tho same article that the police authorities wera not ;iis- posed to assis- h the return If .he men to their duties on board ship, us oth. erwise the only effective msals t" pre- vent the iecu. renee of sim!la: occur rences will bS to restrict the visits of national ship: to your iharbor to .he limit of prohibition until Inc unfortu- nate effect which may have been creat- ed in the minds of the la abiding cit- izens of Galr7ston shall have been ob- liberated
