possessing a wallop, and with the ad-
vantage of training with respect only
for condition and not making weight
he should enter the ring fit as a fiddle
and able to fight to the extent of his
ability. In other words, he will have
no excuses II he is beaten.
The same applies to Hart. He fully
realizes that he is not going up against
an amateur, but against a seasoned
and game battler of ability, and the
bluegrass champion Is losing no time
nor wasting efforts in getting into the
best possible condition.
This will be Hart's first efforts at
defending the title cast aside by JEFF

line on the claimant to the heavy
weight championship.
The manner in which Hart acquits
himself one week from Friday night

where the printers and the street car

London, Aug. 7.-According to an

agency, steamer advices from Sebas-
topol say that fully 10000 persons
have left the city and the exodus Is
still in progress. Admiral Skrydloff'
commander of the Black Sea fleet,
the advices add, is in an awkward al
lemma. He is afraid to remove the
breechlocks from the fortress guns
in case the crews of the warships
mutiny and at the same time he
distrusts the fortress artillerymen.
At the fortress and on the warships
double staffs Of officers keep watch
with cooked revolvers in their hands.
The troops at Odessa are taking
the most stringent measures to pre-
vent a mutiny. Numerous patrols
surround the military camp. No
strangers are admitted there and the
soldiers are watched necessarily.

IS A DRUG TRUST.
The Answer of Lilly Drug Company
of Indianapolis Practically Ac-

MAKES OTHER ADMISSIONS
says so Per Cent. of Retail Drug
gints and 70 Per Cent. of Whole
AaIers Belong to the
Association.

Indianapolis, Aug. 3.-The FL L.
Lilly Drug company at Indianapolis
in the federal court, Thursday an
swered the action Of the United States
against the alleged drug trust" suit
which was fled several weeks
ago by representatives Of the attorney
general of the United States. The
answer filed practically acknowledged
the existence of the drug trust In the
shape of the National Association OF
Retail Druggists and the Wholesale
Druggists association and yet denies
active connection with either.
The Lilly company acknowledges ac-
uuaintance with the publication OF
Charles Brombaugh, "a La Sale street,
Chicago, referred to as the blacklist"
but claims that is has no evidence
to warrant calling it by that name and
further that the Lilly company makes
no use of said blacklist :" 1t is ac-
knowledged that so per cent OF nte
retail druggists Of the country are
in the retailers association and that
approximately rs per cent OF tne
wholesale druggists are in the whole
sale association.
Although denying any discrimina-
ton on its part, the Lilly company
does not deny that the Wholesale Drug
gists association regulates interstate
commerce, but afirms that It is merely
the possessor of an associate member
ship in the association and has not
voting power. The Lilly company
however, acknowledges that 1t has
selling agents" present at all OF the
associations meetings.
In the answer II is also stated tnat
II knows no connection between Brom-
baugh and either Of the associations
