White took punishment. gave it back,
getting in more licks on Goodman than
the latter gave him and ducking every
blow aimed for knockout
Goodman was the favorite in the bet

very little money changed hands.
Frank Green, master of ceremonies,
announced at the beginning that Good
man was above the required 126 pounds

went down, but only for a second and
several more times in the evening he

TO WITHDRAW MORE LANDS.
The President Is Trying to FOrestall the
Trust.

Washington. Dec. 1l.--Unless some.
thing occurs 70 change his mind, IT is
the purpose Of President Roosevelt soon
to issue an order withdrawing from
entry and sale certain large areas Of
public land in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
These lands have been found to contain
valuable deposits Of phosphates, which
are useful as fertilizers; and it is under
stood that the president takes this step
because Of the recent formation OF the
Franco-American Fertilizer company.
This Is an international trust controlled
by French capital, but with many Amer
leans Interested in it, It's ultimate pur.
pose is to control the phosphates Of the
world. At one time the most extensive
deposits in the country were in South
Carolina, but these have been exhausted.
Deposits exist also in Florida, while the
beds in Tennessee are said to contain
fou times the amount Of the original
depc sits in South Carolina 1t is learned
that forty per cent. of the American
product is being sent to foreign countries
and the export i increasing continually
The idea Of the president is that this
basic fertilizer material is needed at
home. The situation was discovered by
the National Conservation Commission,
which called it to the attention OF the
president.

took the fireman. Perry, back to un-
couple the express and mail cars, but
in the darkness the robbcr failed TO see
that the baggage was anead 81 the eS-

confederate in the engine. and the

day, asked that he be excused until
some day next week. His request was
granted. Robert S. Hastings OF Phila.
dclphia, chairman Of the committee
representing the gold leaf industry,
today asked the committee for slight
increase in the duty on gold leaf. r.
II. Mccullough Of Philadelphia, presi-
dent Of a coal company, opposed any
plan TO put coal on the free list.
Reciprocity with Canada in coal. a
ret New England subject, came before
the committee this morning in hear
ing Of Mr.. Mccullough, who represent.
ed the bituminous coal owners eof West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. They
wanted no change in the duty, he said,
but would not object to a reciprocity
arrangement with Canada, which would
give them a market In Ontario, leaving
the New England market to be sup
Piled in part BY Canada. The witness
said that the West Virginia miners had
an advance over Canada OF ten cents a
ton at the mouth Of the mine, but the
Canadian had an advantage in New
England of about Sf.25 in freight
II ties. The differences were not made
by the duty. he said, but by freight
rates To Mr. Fordney the witness re-
piled that under the reciprocity ar.
Tsngement some reduction would he
made to the consumer. Tine contention
Of the New England advocates always
has been that New England il the
natural market for Canadian coah and
u at the trade Of the manufacturing
province Of Ontario would Offset 10 the
American miners what they would lose
by the displacement Of their coal In
New England Mr.. Mccullough said
that free trade in coal would cost the
American miners the New England
market. The American coal, he said,
was Of superior quality to the Can
adian.
