best and at the same time not high
enough in the pugilistic scale to COM
pei any of the top-notchers to meet
him.
At last Honey" Melody seems to
have clear title to the welter-weight
championship. The rough and ready
scrapper met Joe Walcott ut Chelsea
the other night and got the decision
after fifteen rounds OF milling. So far
as the spectators were concerned, It
was not absolutely unanimous, as
many thought the fighters should have
had q draw. Melody, however, put
up a pretty stiff fight and made the
sawed-off Joe step some.
Walcott started in to make 1t a
short fight. aiming for Knockout.
Melody avoided most of the rushes
and after the middle Of the bout had
been reached was fresher than his OPP
ponent. who had weakened himself
through his continued rushes. Melody
got in number Of telling blows to-
ward the close. and it was undoubt-
eddy on account of his long distance
work that the referee gave him the
better OF the argument.
Jack O'Brien got even with Fred
Cooley at Los Angeles last week by
knocking out the Chicago boy In the
third round of what was scheduled as
a ten-round bout. Cooley, 1t will be
remembered, put Jack down in spar
ring bout last winter, and ever since
Fred has mentioned the feat now and
then to his friends. Jack has always
insisted that 1t was an accident, and
Tuesday night he proved 1t by putting
Fred to sleep in hurricane bout
1t was also up to Jack to put an
other aspiring heavy out inside of ten
rounds. which he did in just one less
than the program called for, and the
name Jim Tremble was added to the
list of exploded phenomenons. The
showing made by the hurry-up O'Brien
has made him a favorite over Tommy
Burns for their go Thanksgiving day.
Los Angeles sports are willing to give
odds on Jack, although they are we'll
acquainted with Tommy Burns. as 1t
was in the city of flowers that Tommy
got the tin medal for putting away
Marvin Hart.
In the meantime this same Marvin
has q hard time getting a place to

or vice versa. With the Terre Haute
scrap up in the air the fighters looked
to Indianapolis, but it seems as II
the promoters at the capital city did
not wish to take issue with the state
authorities as long as another town
had bounced the boxers.
1t was next in order for Kalamazoo
to come to bat. Sixty per cent of the
gross was offered, but Hart wanted
$1,000 for his end, so negotiations fell
through.
Jack Dougherty, favorite son No. 2
Of Milwaukee, got another dig In the
ribs Friday night when he went against
Harry Lewis of Philadelphia. Jack
was originally scheduled to meet Will
lie Fitzgerald, but the latter had been
sent to the mat by Lewis and the Mil
waukee promoters thought it best to
get a winner on the card.
The bout went the limit, but 1t
was early seen that Dougherty was
outclassed. Lewis began by paying
attention to Jacks body, but later the
easterner discovered that the blows on
the jaw counted better and in the
fourth Jack collided with a stiff right
handler and sought the mat. This hap
pened again before the go ended and
at the close it was Harry's fight by a
fair margin.

By Mulcahy Hogan.

Those old stagers of the ring, Terry
McGovern and Young Corbett, still re-
fuse to take the hook" The twin
performers of past glories starred in a
six-round bout at Philadelphia We'd
nesday night and got a hand" and
money as usual. Terry went the limit,
as also did Corbett, which, according
to the rules of the Quaker city, meant
that the purse was split as we'll as
the decision. In other words, 1t went
to draw.
According to reports before the fight
both men were supposed to be In the
pink of condition, which, however, did
not prevent Corbett, especially, being
as fat as a porpoise. Terry, the once
terrible, was not particularly lean, Ell
Their. which fact helped him some when
the weary Corbett entwined himself
around his neck.
Regardless OF the condition of the
boxers the bout seems to please the
Philadelphia fans, as the battle was
considered fast and furious" after the
first round. Neither boxer took any
chances at the beginning, but as the
scrap wore on they went after each
other quite merrily. Once Terry came
in contact with a right upper-cut to
the jaw and the Brooklyn whirlwind
went to the floor. where he stayed un-
til the count of nine. After "stalling"
for round or SO he sailed into the
former champion and mix up followed
mix-up.
The weights of the two men were
not given out, but it is reasonable 10
suppose that each tipped pretty close
to 140 pounds, which could not have
made the bout very exhilarating. II
Corbett was as fat lis the dispatches
would have it he probably came close
to las, and those who have seen the
one-time champion know well enough
that lie cannot do himself justice at
that weight. That h. is call in rs a
fighter every follower of the game
knows, but he still continues to prove
a drawing card III the city of Brotheriy
Love.
The two must also be drawing
card on the coast, as Jim Cotiroth had
the nerve to offer purse OF 10000
for the winner to meet some other
pugilistic star in Frisco. As there
was no winner Coffroth has done moth
ing further. There is already talk of
the two fighters hooking up In the cas-.
in the near future.

Reports On Pail

County Engineer Gerc last night re-
ported to the Board of Supervisors, as
follows, his report being adopted:
In re the proposition Of Mr.. l.. NJ.
Whitehouse. made to Mr.. John Lucas,
chairman of the Committee on Roads,
Bridges and Parks. wherein the Board
is asked to allow Mr.. Whitehouse to
complete his contract for that portion
of the Pail road below the Waimanalo
Branch by constructing an equal num-
Der OF linear feet on the Honolulu side
of the Pail. the same to be macadam-
lied is feet wide instead Of 16 feet. as
called for by his contract, beg to re.
port:
The contract entered into by Mr..
Whitehouse with the County of Oahu
specifically states the section Of road
TO be macadamized under the contract
as being approximately 11,0e0 feet In
length and from the top Of the Pail
to the bottom on the Koolau side"
! am advised by the County Attor-
ncy that the Board can not legally en-
ter into the agreement proposed, nor
do deem 1t advisable to cancel the
contract.

tween the end OF finished section and
the culyert at the foot OF the per

As the bottom Of the hill' this to
me seems to be the point aimed at in
the specification. although the dis
lance is 1851 feet instead OF 1000, and
believe Mr.. Whitchouse should be
directed to complete to that point.
IL Is quite true that a portion of the
road on the Honolulu side Of the Pail
Is In need Of repair the macadam be-
Ing nearly WON out In many places,
but this Is a boulevard compared with
the lower section on the Koolau side.

Of the cost OF such work which places
the cost of stone delivered on the road
at si.S5 per Gu. yard, rolling &c. per

which totals S2.27.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.--A mar
riage has been arra aged between the
Grand Duke Michael, only brother oi
Emperor Nicholas, and Princess Pa
tricia of Connaught, niece of King Ed
ward The betrothal occurred during
the Grand Dukes recent trip to Copen-
hagen and Scotland, from which he has
just returned.
From Copenhagen Grand Duke Mi
chael went directly TO join the i'm
perial party in Finnish waters and re-
ceived his brothers formal approval
of the engagement He was heartily
congratulated by all the members of
the imperial family. He will leave
Russia in day or two for London,
where, after securing the consent of
King Edward the betrothal will be
formally announced.
The last visit of Grand Duke Michael
to London was during the Boer war,
when feeling ran high and he was re-
ceived with some hostility; but his
approaching marriage with the most
popular of the English Princesses will,
it is expected, inspire a different well
come.
Though until the birth of the infant
heir to the Russian throne, Grand Duke
Michael was one Of the most eligible
of the royal bachelors of Europe, he
never figured prominently in matri-
nOnlSi GOSSIP except IHdl there WAS
some talk several years ago of his en-
gagement TO his cousin, the Grand
Duchess Helene daughter of Grand
Duke Vladimir, now the wife of Prince
Nicholas of Greece. The Princess Pa
tricia and Grand Duke Michael have
been acquainted since childhood and
frequently met at the reunions of the
Danish royal family.
According to the Russian custom, it
- 70 p,5n ri nj
to embrace the orthodox Russian faith.
but the difference from the Anglican
church is so small as to present no in
superable objections. Though the
Dowager Empress of Russia and Queen
Alexandra are sisters, a direct mar
riage between the English and Rus
sian reigning houses is almost unpre-
cedented. OF late years members of
the Russian imperial family have
sought consorts principally in Ger
many The new departure is signifi-
cant OF the altered relations which
have been springing up since the
Russo-Japanese war, though a formal
understanding between Great Britain
and Russia still rests on future nego-
tiations.
LONDON, Oct. s.-Princess Patricia
of Connaught whose enga cement to
Grand Duke Michael is announced from
st. petersburg. is one of the most
popular and probably the best looking
OF the younger generation of the Brit
ish Princesses. She is in her twenty
first year.
The news of her engagement has not
yet been given out in London. but the
friendly feeling here toward Russia
has made such great strides OF re-
cent months that there is every pros
pect of the proposed alliance between
the imperial and royal houses will
prove very popular. Princess Patricia
has opinions of her own and strength
Of character enough to stick to them,
as demonstrated some time ago when
her marriage to King Alfonso was
mooted. Despite persuasion. she reso-
Iutely declined to entertain the sug-
gestion, declaring she would never
marry any one she did not love, even
to become q Queen.

OCEAN PARK. Oct e.-Theodore A.
Bell made two addresses today, one at
the Soldiers Home. near Santa Manica,
in the afternoon. and the second at the
Ocean Park Auditorium. In the thea
ter Of the Soldiers Home 500 veterans
had gathered to listen to the nominee
when he stepped on the stage beneath
draped American flags and portraits Of
Lincoln. Mckinley and Grant AS the
politics of the 1900 veterans is over
whelmingly Republican, the situation
was calculated to provoke high plati-
tudes. but the speech Bell made struck
me as one of the best and most char
scteristic things of his campaign.
In simple and respectful manner
I want to lay my claims before you and
leave them TO your judgment" he be-
gan. and then he told them how, in his
first campaign for the office of Dis
trict Attorney in Napa County the vet
Grams in the Yountvilie Home had given
him tB7enty-siX votes, and how they
had increased this in following years
TO 156 and 275, and had finally given
him a majority in the year they voted
almost unanimously for Roosevelt.
Having gained their attention, he went
on TO present the present issues, say
ing:
This is fight where there is a right
side and a wrong side. and every one
Of you ought to be where you were
nearly half a century ago, fighting for
the liberties Of the people. Many of
you are Republicans, and you know
more about the Republican party than
I do But YOU know that it was con-
cefved in liberty. Now. when the
word liberty has been effaced from its
standard and in its place Infamous
railroad bosses have written the word
slavery it becomes your duty to your
country and TO your party to vote the
other ticket.
If I had been alive in 81 I should
have fought side by side with you. Now
I want you TO stand with me. All over
the State of California l have seen the
people rising against William F. Her
rim and Walter Parker and the debauch-
ing influence of the railroad in politics.
You are right to say My country, right
or wrong but you cannot say, My
party. right or wrong"
From Santa Monica Bell went to
Ocean Park in trolley car and spoke
10 see people there, having opposition
in a midway.
Bell spends more time on the local
history of Walter Parker as he speaks
in the South and substitutes for those
passages in his speeches where he con-
demned the blocking of the Western
Pacific in the north a denunciation of
the Southern Pacific grab of the San
Pedro harbor and a promise to back
the Owens River project for a water
supply for Los Angeles.
After the meeting Bell and his party
took an electric car for Los Angeles.
where he viii spend Sunday in resting.
Those who have been canvassing the
labor vote in the south say that they
have discovered an infinitesimal Lang
don following, and that probably the
entire union vote will go to Bell
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on Bell to hold the closing rally
Of the campaign in Los Angeles, and
he has about concluded to do so.

HELENA, Oct. 6.-Because they re-
fused to pay dollar for dollar of their
losses in the San Francisco disaster. a
number of insurance companies oper-
ating in the State have lost large
municipal insurance contracts, the
Great Falls School Board having passed
a resolution specifying his reasons for
it's refusal to renew the policies about
to expire on the seven or eight large
schools of that city. The. resolution
met with no opposition whatever when
presented to the board 1t is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That it is the desire of the
board of trustees of the school district
that the fire insurance policies expiring
during the present school year be re-
newed in those companies that have
paid their San Francisco silosses dollar

lis instructed to give preference to those
companies in placing its expiring In
