Baron Hnyashi Talked on Integrity
 of China.

LONDON. Jan. 30-Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, talked freely on the subject of Secre- tary of State Hays proposal for con ference by the powers on the integrity of China. Minister Hayashi does not favor the proposition as being likely to result in a satisfactory adjustment of fhe question and Is of the opinion that it would not result ill any improvement of the existing situation.
 MT. Hay s<proposal is decidedly in teresting." said Baron Hayashi. Tt is only another evidence of the sincere de sire of tho American state department tc reach some acceptable solution of inc vcxed question of the preservation of the territoria, integrity of China. For my part. however. I am unable to sec how il could be effectual under the circumstances. If q conference should decide that all countries sign treaty guaranteeing territorial integrity to China il is T question if We would be any better off. Treaties have been bro ken before without the Sisnator1es en- forcing them by a resort 10 arms.
 What is the use of making an agree ment with q country which has no re- gard for treaty promises: China is not like country that could maintain its own neutrality and territorial integrity with the moral support Of the powers.

NEW YORK. Jan. BOA story of thirteen days of suffering in an open boat and a rescue just when cannibal- ism had been decided 0n was told by one of three of the thirteen survivors of the wrecked steam lredge Texas. who arrived here on the Cunard liner Etruria. The three men were Olaf Haga, Hans Pedcrsen and Peter Gera- sola. Never in years has stich q de tailed story of suffering in an open boat been related at this port Many of the rescued men are still in hospi tai in England and those who landed here bore traces of the terrible ad- venture through which they had pass ed.
 The Texas was built in Germany and was owned by the United States En- gineering company of this city. She was bound for Galveston. Tex. when she foundcred in heavy gale 2s0 .niles northeast of the Azores. She left Dantzic with q crew of thirty three men. in command of Captain Minot On Dec. 23 she ran into heavy gale and about midnight of the following day she sank
 The captain and twelve men man. aged to launch the port boat and got away. The chief officer and the re- mainder got another boat over the side but they had no sooner got in her than she swamped. All were drowned. The captains boat drifted for thirteen days. covering some 300 miles. and the men were finally picked up by the barken- tine Mercedes. One man died in the boat
 Seven days after We left the Texas" said Olaf Haga. the food. which had been getting lower. gave out. Then inc water was all gone. Soon after that one man. Maori from New Zea land. died. The men were suffering terribly. and as soon as tbe death of the man became known a Norwegian. Hansen. went crazy. First he had visions of food. and then he said he knew how we could get all we wanted. We can cat the dead man. he said. and got ready an empty condensed milk can and declared that lc would drain the blood.
 After Hensen's outbreak the captain had the body of tine dead man thrown overheard. The next trouble came when German declared. after much wild talking. that he could not stand if pny longer He wanted to cut up the crazy man and eat him. This time there was not so much opposition. but Captain Minot said that ii must not bc attempted.
 Tt was decided to wait until tllc crazy man was dead. All looked at the man strapped to the thwart aTd then sat down io wait for his death. There they sat. waiting. waiting. ril"r about two hours afterward Peter Gera- sofa. who bad been detailed as lookout. sung out that sail was in sight. and we were soon safe aboard thc M"rce- dex'

THE PUCILISTS.
BOUTS IN
 MANY PLACES
Some Good Fights and Some Bad Ones-Five knocked d Out in St. LOuis-Other Fight News.

Last Friday night was, d lively one for the pugilists. Two clubs in Phia- delphia gave boxing shows. Saginaw, Mich.. Denver, and Lawrence, Mass, also were scenes of some exciting com- bats with the gloves.
 Fred Cooley of Chicago and "Scaidy Bilf' Quinn appeared in the main bout of six rounds at the Kensington A. C., Philadelphia. It is some time since Quinn had on the mitts and it was thought that in view of his past repu- tation he would make at least some kind of q showing. He failed, how ever, for after four rounds of lively fighting Quinn was knocked out.
 A large crowd attended the contests at the Erankford A. C., Philadelphia. Tommy OToolc. who has been making rapid strides of late. met Kid Hogan in the wind-np, Hogan proved to be q. surprise, meeting all of O'Toole's rush cs without much trouble and gettn" home q couple of hard knocks him self. \ draw would have been a fair decision. The six round go between Jack DOwneS and Jim Fellows, a com parativc novice. was interesting. Eel lows knocked out his man in the third round with q blow in the wind.
 X large crowd was on hand at the West End A. C.. Lawrence. Mass, where the chief attraction was a twelve round bout between Honey Melody and Tommy Sullivan of Law renee. For five rounds Sullivan was contented with sizing up his man. but in the fifth the Lawrence man mixed it up freely. In the sixth Sullivan landed vicious right uppercut. ln the seventh, eight and ninth rounds both boys slugged away to thei! hearts content. neither seeming able 10 gain an advantage. Sullivan ad- ministcred q lot of punishment in the final rounds. The last round was eS- pecially furious and the blows came so fast that it was impossible to keep tracks of them. The decision was Il draw.
 Joe Cherry. the much heraldcd lcatherweight from the West, again proved an easy mark for Harry Forbes the bantam champion. at the Saginaw Athletic club. Saginew. The pair were to have met for ten rounds. but after twenty seconds of fighting Cherry was put to sleep.
 Rube smith of Denver won on a foul from Charles Barry of Milwaukee in the fifth round of a ten round go before tue Democratic Athletic club Denver. Barry was palpably Out classed and it was evident from the start that he wanted to lose by unfair ! means. He struck low repeatedly, al though warned. Barry played for the body throughout. smith hoored his man twice in the first round and again in the third by blows on the jaw.
