FATAL NAVAL PRIZE
FIGHT INVESTIGATED

Washington, Aug, IS. - Secretary
Bonaparte will probably order an inves-
tigation into the death of Raphael Co.
hen, the coal passer on the Yankee,
who was killed in prize fight which
took place on the deck of the Olympia
in early June.
The story created quite a sensation
in naval circles, and several of the Off
GERS declared they did not believe that
Cohen had been killed, but a search of
the records of the department disclos-
ed the fact that the fight did occur; that
Cohen died as result of the contest,
and that court of inquiry was held
and recommended that no further pro-
ceedings be had. In the files of the
navy department was found several dis
patches relating to this subject. One
was from Admiral Bradford, in. COM
niand of the northern fleet, notifying
the department of the death of Cohen.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
STRONG in SHANGHAI

IA Washington, Aug. I6-Dispatches
received at the state department from
China shows that Shanghai is the on
ly place where the boycott against
American goods has assumed anything
like serious aspects. At Canton the

but at other points it has not been
successful, This information was, sup-
piled in response to instructions sent
some days ago to Minister Rockhill
and the consular. officers in China to
keep the state department advised as
to the progress of the boycott One
dispatch on this subject received to-
day was not made public at the state

DION BROTHERS WELL 81.
/, PAID FOR THEIR LAND

Devils Lake, NJ. ID, Aug. I6.-This
week the Dion Brothers received $4,000
for nine acres of land from the 500
through which their road trayersed.
When the 500 Hallway came to the
Dion Brothers farms which adjoin
each other, a few miles out from Rus
sell, the crews were ordered to get of
the land. They refused to do so, and
therefore the brothers had to secure an
injunction. They accordingly on July
8, authorized Edward Flynn, of Devils
Lake, to make out an injunction re-
straining the crews to work. This had
to be signed by Judge Goss at Minot,
being iil that judicial district. This
could not be signed on July d, and to
get ahead of the brothers the crews
worked all day July a and S, for after
completing their work they could go
right on and fight the Dions Iii court.
D But the brothers hustled and got ITO the
farms early on July 6, Just as the work
had reached the last hundred yards,
but just soon enough to stop the work.
The 500 officials realized that they had
been frustrated and agreed to pay for
the right sof way at the rate of $222.22
per acre; or $4,000 for the nine acres.
Attorney Edward Flynn piloted the case
for the brothers,
At Starkweather Jacob Deal fell from
a scaffold to the ground, striking a pile
sof rocks. The distance was about fif-
teen feet He stepped on a loose plank,
He fell On his side and broke several
ribs, and sustained & internal injuries
which may prove fatal.

FEVER WAS FEARED
" IN INDIANA TOWN

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug I6.--The
state board of health authorities sent
DR.. w. A. Drayton, an expert, to
Charlottesville to diagnose the disease
OF. a man who arrived at Crawfords-
vile few days ago from Farce, Miss,
and who has been stricken with symp-
toms similar. to those Of yellow fever.
. Local physicians refused to attend the
case and after b. M Hutchings, &C.,
lretary of the Crawfordsville board of
health, had diagnosed the case as that
of yellow fever, he asked the state.
board to send an expert at once. L
! DR.. Brayton, after a careful diagno- !
sis, found the lad to be suffering from
an acute form Of malarial lever, and
the quarantine was at once lifted.

ticles, numbers four and six, were dis.
posed of yesterday. Article four con.
sists of mutual pledges to observe the
integrity Of China and the policy of the
open door, for commerce of all ma
tons, and article six covers the sur
render of Russian leases to Lao Tung
Peninsula, Port Arthur, Dalny and
Blonde and Elliott Islands.
To article four both parties gave
ready assent, and the official statement
of the adoption of that article took care
to state that it was agreed to ''unani-
mouSy." Article five, the considera-
ton of which was postponed until later
provides for the cession Of the island
of Sakllalin, discussion appearing Use
less at this stage on account Of the firm
negative given in the Russian reply. 1t
was decided upon motion of the Jap
anese to defer its discussion, thus re-
vealing the Japanese intention of post
poning to the end the life and death
struggle.
This is the usual procedure followed
in diplomatic negotiations, enabling the
negotiators to come to an accord upon
all possible points before tackling the
crucial issues and the fact that the Rus
slams acquiesced in the proposition
shows that they, too, are as careful and
as anxious as are the japanese that the
world should not accuse them of being
responsible for precipitating break. II
a break there is to be, wrecking the
conference, this in itself is a hopeful
sign. Besides, by postponing the burn
ing questions to the end the psychology
cal moment for bargain and compromise
arrives. Then, hurriedly, the last trump
cards and the game is done. and there
is a growing hope of compromise. To
the closest observers, the final solution
begins to crysta1ize quite naturally, the
Russians yielding the cession of Sakha.

Women Crowd Men Into Obscurity

+ Detroit. Aug. I6.-The speech of Mr.
Bodlne, who is superintendent of COM
pulsory education at Chicago, created
mild sensation among the delegates
to an educational meeting. The speak
er produced federal statistics covering
the past twenty years showing that the
industrial competition of women and

men out of large cities to fields of heavy
manual labor in mining and agriculture.
He declared that woman was destined
to be the. ruling sex in industrialiSnl,
and continued:
Man, like the Indian, is dying out
and being driven out. In 1890 there
were 3,or4,57I women who were
employed in gainful occupations in
America. In 1000 the number had in
creased to 5,32o8o7. The birth rate
among the female occupation is increas-
