.ew York Sun Special Service.
San Francisco, May 6.-Jimmy Britt of San
francisco is lightweight champion of the world.
He defeated Jabez White, the English cham
pion, last night by what was really the knock
out route in the twentieth round. White had
been sent to the mat with two terrific blows
landing full on the face with left and right,
and before he had recovered he received a
perfect hurricane Of blows about the head
which drove him helpless man to the ropes.
He could fight more and Referee Smith gave
well-earned decision to the pride of California.
Britt showed fine spirit by walking to the
center of the ring and calling for three cheers
for the great little Briton; and the latter, as
soon he recovered sufficiently. showed that
he was not whit the less generous by de-
claring to the crowd that the best man had
won.
1t was a sensational fight for the first ten
rounds. White may be said to have held his
own, tho the blows he received from Britt were
more than the blows he delivered. The hard
punches he had learned Britt could deliver, and
was inclined to block and counter than
to fight back. From the twelfth round on Britt
was the aggressor at all times. He fought
yicousy and his blows were better and harder
placed than White could deliver. His advantage
| was mostly in his speed, repeatedly beating the
Briton to the punch.

JOY WAS THICK
ON THE B0WERY
Tim" Sullivan and His Friends
Murdered the Books at
Belmont.
Menu York Sun snecia1 ser,ice

New York, May 6.-There was great joy on
the Bowery last night. The reason for all this
feeling of good cheer was due to the fact that
Congressman Tim Sulliyan's horse, Old Eng
land, had won race at Belmont Park and the
Sullivan cohorts had backed him for every dol
lar they possessed. big Tim and his friends
relieved the ring Of $4,000 after Old England
had dashed past the winning post in the Sec
ond race. From first to last in the betting
the Sullivantes backed Old England. They lined
up at the bookmakers stand early and &C
cepted every price that was offered. In the
early betting high to 1 was offered, but
the average price was to 5! So much money
went in on him and so persistent was the de-
mand for him that at post time many of the
bookmakers had wiped his name off their states
Old England was in front turnout the contest
and at the finish was a length in front OF
Jerry G. These two horses had the struggle be
tween them all the way.

New York Sun Special Service.
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 6.-"There will be no
legislation against the spit ball., - said Presi-
dent Pulliam of the National league during
his stay in the city today. 81 was not cor
rectly quoted in interview in Pittsburg in
which it was said that rules would be made to
kill this style Of delivery. The working of the
spit ball is as legitimate as the throwing of
ordinary curve, and it would hardly be right
to adopt rules prohibiting it's USE The only
rule that have passed the subject is to
instruct umpires to compel pitchers to d1scon-
ltinue the disgusting practice Of some in moist
ening the ball with saliva in a way the spec
tators have full view of the act We are
catering to high class of people, and this sort
Of thing will not make them like the game
more. I have ascertained that saliva really
is not necessary for the spit ball. The natural
moisture that accumulates on the hands of q
pitcher in warm weather is quite sufficient to
throw the ball in: all Its effectiveness and
therefore it is more of habit than necessity
for pitchers to make questionable exhibition -

Panic in East River Tunnel.

New York.-Deep under the East
river Thursday n panic occurred in the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnel In which
five workmen were injured. three OF
them seriously. The men thought the
river was coming in on top of them
when some scaffolding near the roof
of the tunnel at Il point about 100 feet
out from the shore suddenly collapsed
without any apparent reason. A gang
of men working near the scaffolding
started on a run toward the tunnels
mouth, shouting warnings to the
diggers. who were still further out
under the river mt the end of the Dor.
ing.
When the men were assured that the
tunnel had not caved in they returned
to find five of their comrades buried
under the scaffolding, two of them in.
jured internally and another with a
fractured skull. The injured men were
taken to the hospital.

San Francisco.-Robert Fitzsimmons
collapsed at the close of the thirteenth
round Of his fight with Jack O'Brien.
He had fought hard. but nature could
no longer stand the strain and after
the gong sounded for the close OF
the thirteenth round he walked to his
corner and sa. in his chair. Referee
Graney saw his condition and awarded
the fight to O'Brien.
Referee Graney said: "Fitz showed
his class. O'Brien Is wonderful
boxer, but the old man stood up and
took his punishment. Occasionally he
showed a flash of his old-time form,
but his strength could not last"
O'Brien gave remarkable exhibi-
tion of sparring and footwork. He
ducked and lodged, and sidestepped in
a manner that was bewildering. Fitz
would swing and find only the empty
air, and several times nearly went
through the ropes from the force of his
misspent blows.

NEED OF MINING DEPARTMENT.

Mining has become one of the great
est industries of the people of the
United States. Millions of dollars arc
invested, hundreds OF thousands. II not
millions derive their daily bread from
its prosecution. and in its conduct.
management and control are enlisted
Il great number of the most intelligent
and highly trained minds in the coun-
try. So great an industry, distributed
so widely, and enlisting the best effort
of SO large a proportion of the popula-
tion, is entitled surely to greater atten-
tion and consideration by the general
government.
The great industry of agriculture is
given separate department of gov
ernment, its chief sits at the council
board of the executive and is one OF
the constitutional advisers of the Pres
ident. Commerce is given another seat
at the same board, and has an equal
voice in the supreme executive council.
Why should not the mining industry be
accorded similar distinction. AS an
industry it's value to the nation is as
great. and its product adds greatly to
the Importance of the other two. The
employment it gives to millions OF
wOrkmen give great home market for
the productions of agriculture and for
the commodities handled by commerce.
Long have those interested in mining
felt that the general government
should accord their industry the con-
sideration and dignity its due by ere
ating a Department of Mines and Min
ing; and their wishes seem fair to be
gratified shortly. Congressman Van
Duzer of Nevada has introduced in
Congress n bill providing for the Gre
alton of such IA department, the head
of which shall be Cabinet officer.
The bill is one OF merit and should be-
come a law. Everyone interested in
mining should give the measure hearty
support and do everything possible to-
ward securing its adoption.--Nogale

PROPOSED CHURCH UNION
Of Presbyterians, Methodists and Con-
gregationaIists, in Canada.

Toronto, Ont.-The final vote by
byterian, Methodist and Congrega-
tional churches of Canada in one
great church. as has just been recon-
mended by joint committee of the
three denominations, cannot be
reached for several years.
Throughout the whole session."
says the official report, "the utmost
harmony and brotherly feeling pre-
vailed, all the members apparently
being animated by one purpose
namely, to reach conclusions that
would be for the glory of their COM
mon Lord and the more rapid extern
sion of His kingdom throughout the
world"
Substantial unity and essential har-
mony existing among the three de-
nominations is a marked feature of
the findings of the committee. The
common doctrines held by the Presby-
terians, Methodists and Congrega-
tionalists are formulated. Possible
lines for framing policy for the
united church, the arrangements of
pastoral service without time limit,
settlement and transfers of pastors.
training for the ministry and for the
relations of a minister to the doctrine
of the church, are set forth and the
matter of administration is left in the
hands of subcommittee to prepare
a detailed report for the next annual
meeting of the general committee.
