M,GoTERN-CORBETT GO.
One of BIoodiest Battles Ever Wit
 nessed In Philadelphia.

ANSSNA AAk iA AAA&uSAphAH
 Philadelphia, Oct. T.-Terry McGov- ern and Young Corbet. fought hard six-round bout at the National Athletic club tonight. When the gong an- nounced the close of the battle there was little to choose between the fight CTS. The fight was one of the bloodiest ever Witnessed in this city.
 In the opening round there was not blow which did any damage. At the opening of the second round Corbett rushed and caught McGovern with a terrific right on the chin, which forced the latter to take the count of nine. When McGovern got to his feet he rushed to clinch and in so doing he butted Corbett over the left eye, open ing gash from which the blood flowed in stream. From this round to the finish the fighters were covered with
 aod from head to foot.
 Matters grew worse in the third round. After Corbett had missed three right swings for McGovern's jaw he finally landed hard right hook over Terry's eye, opening a deep gash. Both men !rere we'll winded when the gong sound~l at the end of this round.
 The fourth round was decidedly in McGovern's favor. Time and again he would counter CT the wind as Corbett rushed in, and an occasional jab to the face opened up the damaged eye, the blood from which partly blinded Cor bett
 The fifth and sixth rounds were about even, but there was never a second that the men were idle. At the pace the men were going it is doubtful if either could have lasted two more rounds. McGoyern was weakened by Corbett's blows, and the latter, who carried at least twenty pounds too much weight, was very weary from his own exer- tions
 When the men appeared in the ring McGoverr. looked to be in the pink of condition, but Corbett, while he looked well about the face, was several inches too large in the girth.
 Corbett was the first to appear pre- ceded by his seconds, Alex. Greggains, Tim McGrath and Harry Tuthill. Me Govern followed with Charley Mayhood Joe Humphries and John Burdick When McGovern climbed into the ring he walked over to Corbett's corner and said: If you whip me tonight, IT take off my hat to you, but want yor to act square and fight fair fight Corbett smiled and said, "All right.
 The referee announced that the fight would be straight Marquis of Queens bury, the men to protect themselves il the breaks. It was evident from tht outset that Terry had a wholesome re- gard for Corbett's right, as he did al he could to keep out of harms way until Corbett became partially blinded by the blood.
 When the bout closed Corbett walked over and grasped McGoern's gloved hand, and thetwo smiled and exchanged courtesies.

OPERATIONS OF DIVERS
 50 FAR UNSUCCESSFUL
FATE OF FRENCH SUBMARINE BOAT LUTIN SEEMS
 CERTAIN.

French Naval Authorities Practically
 Abandon All Hope of Rescuing the
 Crew-Even Doubt Possibility of
 Raising the Craft-Salvage Officers
 Express Certainty That Crew Has
 Perished.
 Paris, Oct. 17-M. Thomson, the min ister of marine, left here tonight for Bizerta, and the scene of the loss of the submarine boat Lutin, upon the re- ceipt of the following official dispatch from Admiral Bellue:
 The operations of the divers have not been successful up to nightfal, Work has been suspended until tomorrow"
 The French naval authorities have practically abandoned all hope of res- cuing the crew of the Lutin, and even doubt the possibility of ever raising the submarine.
 Bizerta, Tunis, Oct. 1.-The officers engaged in the salvage work express the certainty that the vrew of the Lu- tin has perished. Members of the crew of the tug Ishkul which conveyed the Lutin on her last voyage, declare that the submarine plunged twice success fully and that after she had gone down for the third time her bow showed twice above the surface of the water before she finally disappeared. This leads to the belief that the catastrophe resulted from a sudden leak at the stern.
 Admiral Bellus is tonight uncertain whether the salvagers have really To- cated the Lutin or not. Divers have reached the bottom, but owing to the roughness of the sea they were unable to remain below sufficiently long to make thorough investigation. Four teen salvage vessels now form cordon around the spot where the Lutln went down. The divers descend In relays, and are displaying untiring energy All their endeavors, however, to obtain definite knowledge as to the Lutin's s position in order to permit the utiliza- tion of the powerful lifting apparatus on the spot have been in vain.
 The British admiralty has sent bat tleship, a cruiser and torpedo boat destroyed, as well as several tugs, to assist in the search. Tonight the sea is moderating and the work tomorrow will be continued under better condi- tions.

SCORES AND LOSES POINT.
Decision Regarding Trades Unionism in
 Massachusetts.

Boston, Oct 17.--Trades unionism scored and lost point by labor de- cision to-day by the full bench of the Massachusetts supreme court. The de- cision, which was in the case of W. S.. Pickett and other non-union stone pointers against the Bricklayers' Ben evolent and Protective unions, Nos. 8 and 27, and Stone Masons' union, No. g, holds lawful and justifiable competition a strike declared because certain work relating to their trade is given to other workmen against the wishes of the strikers.
 The court held, however, that the un- ionists have no right to impose a sym pathetic strike upon their employer, with whom they have no trade dispute, to compel him to join with them in a boycott of the party who engages their immediate employer because that party hired special workmen to do work which theythemselves sought to do.
 The case centered about. building op- erations in Boston.
 The defendants union ordered a strike of men employed by contract or because that contractor was doing work on a building where non -unionists were engaged. This sympathetic strike, the court holds, was not warranted, and for that reason the injunction restrain ing the defendants from combining against the employer was allowed to stand by the supreme court.
 The court says: Tn our opinion or ganized labor's right of coercion and compulsion is limited to persons whom the organization have a trade dispute.

FRFNCH GARNET CRISIS,
Recent Fears Develop to Almost a Ger
 tainty.


 Paris, Oct. 1.-The recent fears that ministerial crisis might occur before the next session of the chamber of dep uties developed this evening to almost $ certainty. According to information received from trustworthy source, Premier Sarrien has informed President Falllereg that he did not possess suff1- clent physical strength to retain the premiership, his physician having de- clarel that a further continuance in office would endanger his health. The president, however insisted that the premier reconsider his resolve, and numbers of his friends have solicited him to remain in office. M. sarrien finally decided not to announce his res ignation yet, but 1t is the firm convic- ton in well-informed circles that he will give up his portfolio at the cabinet meeting to be held next Friday.
 Politicians are now forecasting the probable composition of new ministry. It is considered practically certain that President Fallieres will request NJ. Cl4nlenceau, the minister of the inte- rior, to take the premiership. This move probably would lead to a redis- tributior of the other portfolios.

 ''So far as my observation goes, the campaign is little different from that of four years ago, There is no great en- thusiasm, but it seems to me the quiet of earnest conviction The people are satisfied with present conditions, and when a man is satisfied he is not very demonstrative. I am satisfied that there will be a republican house to sup port President Roosevelt for the re- mainder of his administration.

DIR. GARNER IGNORANT.
Knows Nothing of Proposed Visit of Young Woman to Africa.

Bristol, Tenn, Oct. 17.-Mrs. R. L. Garner, wife of the noted student of the monkey language, to-day made the following statement:
 "As several newspapers have inform ed the public that one Miss Quimorton of New York was about to join Prof Garner in the jungles of Africa, fer the purpose of studying the monkey language and would occupy an iron cage among the wild beasts, it is but justice to say that Prof. Garner will certainly not occupy his cage as it was lost two years ago by the capsizing of a boat. It is also but justice to state that Prof Garner is in ignorance of Miss Quimorton's proposed trip to Af- rica."

 YORK.

General Passenger Agent of the Road
 Also Found GuiIty-Charge Against
 the Road Based on Indictments Found
 After Many Months Investigation-.
 Counsel for Defendants Declares Re-
 bate Cases Cannot be Defended in
 Present State of Public Opinion.
 New York, Oct. 17.--A verdict of guilty of granting rebates on sugar shipments was returned by a jury in the United States court here to-day against the New York Central Railway company and Frederick L. Pomeroy, the company's general traffic manager. Sentence was deferred until Friday to permit the attorney for the defense to file motions with the court.
 In discussing the jury's verdict Aus ten c, Fox, counsel for the defendants, placed the responsibility for the con- viction of his clients upon public opin- ion. You can't defend rebate cases in the present state of public opinion" said he.
 The charge against the New York Central and Pomeroy was based on in dictments found by the United States grand jury after many months of tn- vestigation. It was alleged that the defendants entered into an arrangement with the American Sugar Refining com pany whereby Edgar & Son, of Detroit, were favored by reduction of five cents a hundred weight on sugar ship. ments from New York to Detroit from the regular traffic rates.
 According to the provisions of the El- kins act, under which the convictions were secured, the maximum penalty is a fine of $20,O0O. As both the Central and the personal defendant, Frederick L.Pom eroy, are convicted by the de- cision of the jury on all of the six counts charged in the indictment, the total fine for each can be $12O,00O.

CASE AGAINST OIL TRUST
ITS FATE IN OHIO NOW IN THE
 JURR'S HANDS.
Yesterdays Proceedings the Most stren- nous of the Seven Days TrlaI--Ten- sion Between Opposing Counsel Reaches Breaking Point and Hot Words Are Exchanged.

WuEuA Are UACUUUEeus
 Findlay, O., Oct 17.--After trial of seven days the fate of the Standard Oil company of Ohio, charged with con- spiracy against trade, was placed in the hands of the jury at S:3O o'clock to- night. The days proceedings were the most strenuous of the trial. The heavy speeches on both sides were made Yir- gil P. Kline concluded for the defense and Attorney-General Ellis for the prosecution. The defense submitted fourteen points of law for incorporation in the charge of the court to the jury, all but two of which were rejected. Judge Banker then read his elaborate charge and the jury retired to deliber- ate.
 The tension between counsel on either side, which has been on the increase as the case proceeded, reached the break ing point to-day and hot words of crit icism passed, the crowded court room became denonstrative for the first time and the court sternly rebuked all con- cerned. The collision resulted from the receipt of telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan Oil company had to-day sold out to the Standard Oil for $2,OOOOOO. This was declared by the defense as a trick to influence the jury. The prosecution re- torted that the matter would have never reached the jury had not MT Kline, who made the charge, mentioned the matter in open court. The incident closed with a severe admonition from the court. The jury was not to regard the matter and the spectators must maintain silence or be ordered from the room.

Consul Conant, of Windsor, briefly
describes what is being done to pro-
mote irrigation in the Canadian
Northwest;
AN irrigation project unique in
the history OF America is being car
lried out by the Canadian Pacific
Railway Just east of Calgary, Alber-
ia. Some time ago the Canadian
Pacific Railway undertook to provide
Ia monster irrigation scheme to put
water on dry lands lying between
Calgary and Medicine Hat for wheat
culture. Already sixty miles of the
main and secondary canals and more
than one hundred miles of laterals
have been completed, and about
10000 acres OF land brought under
ditch. The main canal in the under
taking is sixteen miles in length,
ffty-four feet wide at the bottom.
eighty-four at the water line, and
carries ten feet of water
This is only the first or western
section of the vast scheme by which
it is ultimately proposed to irrigate
nearly 100000 acres, at an expen-
dlture of sS,O00,0O0. The water is
taken from the Bow River, which
even at low water has a surplus af-
ter irrigating these lands. II will be
some years before the undertaking
is complete. but water will be turned
on early in the spring on the first
section OF more than 100000 acres.
