FIGHT GOSSIP.
George Siler Gives a Few Pointers
on Happenings.


Frank Gotch, champion heavy
weight catch-as-catch-can wrestler of
America, has fully made up his mind
to take up pugilism. He came from
his Iowa farm last Monday night to
wrestle at the Coliseum, and before
he left the big building he arranged
to take a number of boxing lessons
from Tommy Ryan. Speaking of the
matter he said: 1T looks soft" in
| ferring the present crop of heavy
weights, barring Jack Johnson, did
not appear formidable, and that a
good man could wade through the
bunch. Continuing, he said: Il am
only 20 years old, am big and strong,
and, if | do say it myself, l am eX-
ceptionally fast with feet and hands
and am sure that | am game The
heavyweights of today do not COM
pare with Jeffries, FitZsimmons, Cor
bett or Sharkey; if they did, | would
steer clear of the fighting game But
who is there to beat? Burns is a
little sawed-off, though good fast
one, and | presume quite clever and
strong hitter. Schreck recently was
| beaten by Kaufman and the balance
of the heavies are not worth talking
about"
There's that colored fellow. Jack
Johnson. How about him?" l in
quired.
They are all ducking him, aren't
they? Well, so will when get into
the game Mind you, am not sure
] will take up fighting 1t all de-
ponds on how | get on with my les
sons. AS | said before, | have all
the natural requirements, but l never
may get handy with my dukes.
know there is big pot of money in
the game for top-notcher, and if
Ryan and other well posted men
think | cannot reach the top / will
pass it up and stick to the wrestling
mat. | don't need the money, as
am pretty well fixed and have just
signed ten weeks wrestling con-
tract. but | hate to see so much
money in sight without making an
effort to get some of it.
Joe Cans, it has been stated, said
he would retire after his fight with
Jimmy Burns, win or lose, and that
he hoped the top-notch white fighters
would deal squarely with the colored
men, Also that they would give
Young" Peter Jackson and Jack
Johnson chance Regarding Jack,
he said he would back him for $4,000
to fight any heavyweight in the
world, Jim Jeffries barred and
Tommy Burns preferred. Joe did not
mention Sam Langford nor Jack
Blackburn, two sterling good fighters,
but picked out the men whose repu-
tations for honesty and square deal
ing would not stand probing. Jack
son was in AL Herford's stable with
Cans and the probabilities are Peter
took part in a number of shady
fights. His battle with Jack O'Brien
at San Francisco on Feb. IA, 1900,

EMPEROR WILLIAM
TO VISIT LONDON

LONDON, October 17.-(SpeciaD-
The visit of Emperor William to
England next month is fraught with
the greatest interest, both personal
and political For years there has been
a barrier of prejudice between the
two countries, but this has been con-
siderably lowered by the displomacy
of King Edward and his ministers. 1t
is hoped that the barrier will en-
tirely disappear as a result of the
coming visit of the Emperor.
Upon their arrival the Emperor and
Empress will proceed at once to
Windsor, where they will stay during
the whole of their sojourn, except
for a state visit to London, where
they will be officially welcomed by
the Lord Mayor. 1t is expected that
the breakfast that will be served at
the Guilhall on this occasion, toge-
Their with the street decorations will
cost not less than $4,000.

COTTON MEN HARD
hit AT NEW ORLEANS
Second Port of Country In
Bad Shape.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. II. (SpeciaD
Cotton, the commodity which is
identified more closely than any 9TH
er with the life of this part, and
which has really helped, in a great
measure, to make New Orleans the
second port in the United States, is
the interest that is suffering most
from the strike on the levee front.
The cotton factors of New Orleans
see ruin staring them in the face un-
less the strike is settled, and that in
the near future.
One cotton man says:
This strike has reached very seri-
Gus, and | might say, alarming pro-
portions. Something has to be done.
If a speedy settlement of this strike
is not brought about, l see ruin star
ing US in the face. We have over g.
600 bales of cotton on the wharf at
various points, unable to get them off
our hands. Not only are we losing
money, but other interests, the inter
ests which are the very life and sinew
of the city.
The cotton factors will suffer most
from the tie-up on the levee. Those
who ship commodities which are not
so closely identified with New Or
leans; that is to say commodities
which are shipped out of New Or
leans and which are brought here
from outside points, can we'll afford
to ship from other ports, but we cot
ton factors are forced to handle our
business through this port, so that if
the commerce of New Orleans is tied
up, there is no alternative for us but
to wait until settlement, and until
then our business will remain stag
nant."

NEW SULTAN PLEASES
MOROCCO TRIBESMEN

TANGIER, October 17.-(SpeciaD-
Mulai Hafd, Sultan of the South, is
winning golden opinions among the
tribesmen of Morocco. A deputy who
has just returned from Morocco City,
says:
'Mulai Hafid shows a strong hand
and good judgment; never has there
been such good government since the
time of Gulai Hassen. Deputies are
arriving daily at Morocco City from
all quarters of the empire and they
are all pleased with the new admin
istration and with Mulai Hafid."
Mulai Hafid has effectually put a
stop TO the i'll treatment of Jews
in Morocco City and he gives personal
attention to all matters of impor-
lance.
Since his proclamation as Sultan
he has taken four wives in order to
strengthen his position, practically
inviting all the Berbers under him to
follow his example.

THIS TEN DOLLAR BILL
STAYED All HOME
What If Sent 10 Mail Or
der House?

To the detriment of mail order
business, the Cameron, S. c., ChrOn-
icle traces the wanderings of ten
dollar bill, and tells in the following
words HON it paid debts many times
its value and still returned to the
original holder:
Mr. Brown keeps a boarding house.
Around his table sit his wife, Mrs.
Brown; the village milIiner, Mrs.
Andrews; Mr.. Black, the boarder;
Mr. Jordan, carpenter, and Mr.. Hand
ley, feed and lumber merchant. Mr..
Brown took $40 out of his pocketbook
and handed it to Mrs. Brown with
the remark that there was SO to-
ward the $40 he had promised her.
Mrs Brown handed the bill to Mrs.
Andrews, the milliner, saying: THAT
pays for my new bonnet" Mrs. An
drews in turn passed it to Mr. Jor-
dan, remarking that it would pay for
the carpenter work he did for her
Mr.. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Handley,
requesting his receipted bill for lum-
Der. Mr. Handley gave the bill back
to Mr. Brown saying: That pays
so on my board" Mr.. Brown again
passed it to Mrs. Brown, saying that
he had now paid her the $40 he had
promised her. She in turn paid Mr..
Black to settle her bread and pastry
account. Mr.. Black handed it to Mr..
Handley, asking credit for the amount
on his -four bill. Mr.. Handley again
remarked that it settled for that
months board, whereupon Mr.. Brown
put it back into his pocket, remark
ing that he hadn't supposed a green
back would go so far
But suppose Mrs. Brown had sent
to a mail order house for new bon
net, then the $40 would have gone
out of town and never come back.
There is a moral to this-spend
your money with home merchants.

BLAZED

An overworked straw mattress
blazed in a negro house in the south
western suburbs at daylight yester-
day, and the affrighted occupants yell
ed for protection A shrieking whis-
tleitic alarm stirred the entire city
and the department as well, and the
trucks made a hurry sprint to the
scene. In the meantime someone
had thrown a bucket of water upon
the old bag of hay and put it out.
