England Also Wants Peace.

London, June 3.-The conference between
President Roosevelt and Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, yesterday
evoked the greatest interest here, but
the details of what transpired at the
conference arrived too late to be the
subject of discussion in TINS mornings
newspapers.
The belief in London is that at the pres
ent moment neither belligerent is anxious
Tor peace. Some advices from Toxic rep
resent the soberness with which the news
of Togo's victory was received by the
Japanese as the outcome Of a desire to
avoid peace negotiations until the expeds-
tion already in course of preparation has
had time to reduce Vladivostok
With regard to Russia. II is thought the
mere sense of enormous loss of prestige
involved in the disastrous defeat of Ro-
jestvensky will determine her to continue
hostilites
No doubt is felt that Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne will gladly second President
Roosevelts efforts i'm the direction of
peace The secretary already has had in
terviews with the Russian ambassador
to Great Britain, Count Benckendorff ac-
eordlng to rumors, at the behest of King
Edward In which he intmated to the
ambassador his majesty's willingness to
offer his friendly assistance in arranging
a peaceful settlement.

was nearly closing time when Williams
came into the saloon from Morris avenue
and told Gid Williams that he wanted
to carry him home i'm his hack The pis-
toll was lying on the counter near where
| stood. and knowing that Williams had
a horror of gun, I picked it up. ! had
examined the gun less than an hour be-
fore and 1t was empty. The cartridges

HANLAN STANDS UP
TO YOUNG CORBETT'
FIGHTS HIM TO A STANDSTlLL
DURING THE LAST ROUNDS OF
A TWENTY-RoUND CONTEST IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco Cal, June Eddie Han
lon fought Young Corbett' to a stand
still during the last few rounds of a
twenty-round contest tonight and was
awarded hard-earned decision by Ref
cree Holman. The fight was an exciting
one from start to finish. During the first
part of the contest Hanlon had a slight
advantage but no harm was done to either
man until the eleventh round.
Then Hanlon rushed Corbett to the
ropes, but the Denver man stalled him
off, and blocked a number of stomach
punches Corner got to the center of the
ring and in a mix-up landed left and
right swings on Hanlon's jaw The San
Francisco boy went to his knees and took
the count of nine. He came up fight
ing. and in spite of Corbett's strenuous
effort to put him out finished the round
strong.
For the next four rounds Corbett went
at his man and in the thirteenth had
Hanlon very tired, but he could not land
a knockout blow. Hanlon bfaced up in
the fourteenth and seemed to have a
slight margin over Corbett The fifteenth
round was about even. Hanlon landed a
left and right to the jaw but they did
no harm The sixteenth was corbett's
by a large majority The seventeenth
was Hanlon's round The eighteenth was
about even although Corbett had a shade
the better of it at the end The nine
teenth and twentieth were all Hanons.

Man IDENTIFIED
AFTER HIS DEATH
j. 3. FOX DIES AT THE HOSPITAL
AFTER BEING UNCONSCIOUS
FOR TWENTY-FouR HOURS.

J. B. Fox, aged %, who worked in the
steel plant at Ensley for some time, died
yesterday about noon at ST. Vincent S
hospital, after having been there for
dition.
Fox had a CONFUSION on the street
Thursday near the county court house
| and was sent to the hospital There was
absolutely nothing on his person by which
he could be identified, and at the hospital
the authorities did not know who he was
until late yesterday afternoon after
death.
When he was carried to the hospital
Dr. j. ID. Heacock gave him medical at
tention. but was never able to revive
him. The physicians are not exactly sure
what caused his death, but attribute II
to a CONFUSION, as Foxs hands were
gripped and his muscles tense while at
the hospital.
When Fox did not return home Thurs
day night his wife became anxious and
sent her brother to make inquiries Moth
ing resulted from the search, which was
continued all yesterday morning. Short
ly after the man died at the hospital his
wlfes brother, j. H. LuQuire, found out
that an unidentified man was lying dead
at St Vincents hospital. He went to
the hospital. Identified the man, and had
the remains removed to the Gaudin COM
pany's undertaking establishment.
Fox leaves a wife and child who live

The remains will be carried to the house
this morning and the funeral services
will take place later.
1t seems that Fox had been i'll for some
time and that he was just recovering and
able to be out of the house for short
time each day

1t was the ambassadors firm opinion

decision of his government, he took the
ground that Russia could lose nothing
either by waiting or continuing the war
on land. There was hope yet of victory
of the Russian arms, and in any event
Russia had not yet lost one foot of ter
ritory, nor was the Russian frontier en-
dangered.

Pig IRON MARKET
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
LONG CALM HAS BEEN BROKEN,
1T SEEMS-CONSUM is AT
IA HIGH WATER MARK-WILL
HAVE TO BUY IRON.

Matthew Addy and eompany's Cincinnati
pig iron report. for the week of May 20
{ June 3. 1905 says
Compared with the Immediately pre-
cedng weeks this week has been very
good. There has really been some fair
buying of pig iron and al the present
time there are several excellent inquiries
being considered. So the long calm i'm the
market has been broken. 1t is highly sig
nificant that nearly all the current pur-
chases are for spot shipment. In fact
most of the orders are of the decidedly
hurry kind, the buyers frankly confessing
that they have put off purchasing until
the very last moment, and that they must
have their iron Immediately or shut down.
OF course with the market we have been
having buyers have been purchasing eau
Hously, and most particularly they have
been putting off ordering until the
eleventh hour There is any quantity of
Iron that is going to be needed in the
immediate future A great many consul
mers are covered up To July l. A very
few have any supplies of iron in stock
or ordered before that date Consumption
IFS at high water mark, and there is no
sign of any slaekening in this direction
In fact the tremendous amount of iron
that is being consumed today is the big
gest thing in the situation. The foundries
can wait certain length of time before
they buy. but consumption is going on
-.
Is very confidently expected that June
will witness the beginning of avery smart
buying movement. Apparently the more
active trade that we are now having is
the beginning of very much better things
