Toxic. July 25.-The manner in which the
news OF tho convention between Japan and Corea
has been generally received is indicative OF sat
isfaction. II is felt among the well informed
that Japan might have been more eXactlng IN
her terms curtailing even the Corean imperial
authority by suggesting the rescript subject to
the approval of the Japanese Resident General
The avoidance Of such demand IT is believed,
was purely out OF consideration for the prestige
OF the Coreau court. The extension OF the power
Of the Resident General that he may appoint
his nominees to responsible positions in the
Corcan government is especially welcomed in
japan as one of the surest means of preventing
the adoption of any measure hostile to Japanese
or detrimental TO the interests OF COrea. 1t is
expected that the freer hand Japan is able
to. exercise In Corea will be manifested by
the peaceful development of the peninsula and
the maintenance of order In the Far East.

President Eliot is quoted as saying:
mo one for long time has proposed
to stop intercollegiate athletics at

New York, Feb. 26.-Thc rapid dcclin-
ing tendency IF stocks which was mani
fest yesterday was arrested quite
promptly today. but the subsequent
movement towards recovery was hating
and uncertain but showed gradual i'm
provement. The activity Of the dealings
subsidized to a marked degree. The re
cuvcry did rot set in, however, until af-
ter a threatening break in prices at the
orcning which made q. level of prices;
which added many important market
leaders to the list of low prices in Jan
uary. However there was a small frac-
tional difference in the majority of in
stances.
The strength of the resistance develop
ed at that particular point proved par
ticularly formidable to the bears. owing
to the usual reasoning of professional on
orators from the technical conditions in
the market. Reports from Washington
received in Wall street were of hopeful
prospects for the Aldrich bill ami this
made 4 cheerful effect on sentiment. The
Improvement gathered force IS the day

BOXING.
O'brien Cancels His Bout
With Jack Sullivan.
Willis-QulII Bout at Thornton,
R. l., Ends In Draw.
Spike Robson Is Very Anxious to
Nee; Abe AttelI.

Philadelphia. Fa.. Feb. ga telegram
received here from Los Angeles, Cal.
says that Jack OBrion, the Philadelphia
pugilist, has cancelled his March fight
with Jack Twin Sullivan and will at once
start for home.
His reason for throwing off such a
good money producer is that his mother
has been in Ill health since her adven-
turc with the burglar about one week
ago. and he is anxious TO be at her side.
O'Ericn had practically signed articles
for his fight with Sullivan, and was to
have received a guarantee OF $4,000 for
his end, win, lose or draw, and after that
he intended to start steady training for
his return fight with Tommy Burns
His plans at present are uncertain,
however, and it is unlikely that he will
engage in another contest until his moth
er's recovery.
