MONKS FIGHT IN
SACRED GROTTO

ROME, Feb. 3.-The Tribuna, in a
semioficial communication concerning
the recent fight between Franciscan
Armenian and Greek monks in the
sacred grotto at Bethlehem says that
on January p an Italian Franciscan
monk went to burn candles in the
grotto. Armenians, who were oficiat-
ing at their altar. prevented him from
passing and attacked and feiled him
with sticks. Other Franciscans rushed
70 the rescue Of their compatriot, and
a general fight ensued. in which one
Italian. one Spanisrd and three Armen-
ian-Greek monks were wounded. The
Italian consul at Jerusalem went to
Bethlehem and opened an inquiry. The
Armenians say that the quarrel began
because the Franciscan monk insisted
on passing to burn his candles without
waiting for the Armenian ceremony 10
end. The inquiry made by the local
authorities was favorable to the Ital-
ian monks and the Italian consul is
now seeking to have the guilty persons
punished.

who was then at the zenith of his wild
career on the turf. Three years later
Mr.. Chaplin won the Derby and 1885,

AMERICAN CoNsUL's DEATH
NOT A CASE OF SUICIDE
Omcfal Investigation Reveals That
Fairchild Accidentally Killed Him
self at Mukdcn

VICTORIA, B. c.. Feb. 3-The steam
ship Tartar. which arrived today from
the Orient, brought advices that the
death of the United States Vice Consul
at Mukden was accidental, instead of
suicidal, as reported. Investigation de-
veloped that Fairchild's death was due
TO the careless handling of a revolver.
Fairchild, who was given to prac-
ucal joking, was preparing for a hunt
ing trip, and discharged a gun to
alarm the Chinese servants He brought
his revolver from his room and was
sitting with Consul General w. D.
Straight, handling the weapon. when
1t was suddenly discharged. the bullet
entering his head.

The latter will have ali the time he
wants to play the races or dabble IN
stocks. as he has fixed the weight at
Is6 pounds three hours before the con-
test. In the past he talked eloquently
of being able TO do 126 pounds, but each
time when the day of fight came
round he found it hard to touch 1873
pounds. He seemed to think nothing
OF being five pounds overweight on the
morning Of a fight, and then his train
ers had TO scheme to get off the flesh
and still land him in the ring in con-
dition 10 do himself Justice.
There does not appear TO be any
likelihood that Cans will help Corbett
train. as has been announced. If the
fight is to take place in Reno on the
same day that Cans and Britt will
settle their differences in Tonopah.
Those interested in the latter venture
would object to helping make good the
show of a rival promoter, which would
be the case If the colored champion
took hold OF Corbett and tried TO con-
/ dition him. The Reno men will not
need the pavilion they are said to have,
which will seat $4,000 spectators, If
they run opposition to the Cans fight.
Any of the sports who would go from
here to Nevada TO see a fight would
prefer to see Cans and Britt in action
rather than the other lightweights.
The majority of the Nevadans are in
terested in Cans and undoubtedly will
follow him in all his fights until he
goes down in defeat. If such a fate be
/ in store for him there.
! Sammy McClintick, manager of Dick
/ Hyland. insists that he will never en-
tertain match with Cyclone Thomp-
son unless the latter agrees to do 13S
pounds ringside weight. McClintick
claims that Hyland can do 12S pounds
and he refuses to give away any more
weight than is necessary.
The present storm has appreciab bly,
cut down Jimmy Britt's road work
over in Marin County. 1t would be
drudgery to work ones way through
the mud. so the Californian has de-
voted his energies to work in the gym
nasium with Tiv Kreling, and will
wait until conditions are more favor
able before he tries his ten-mile jaunts
over the hills.
The Vallejo promoters have finally
/ decided upon match between Rufe
Turner and George Herberts for their
! Washington's Birthday card. The men
! have agreed to make the weight. 142
4 pounds at 3 p. m. on the day of the
fight This means that Turner will be
giving away several pounds. as he
probably could do 13s pounds without
I much trouble.
