While delivering address upon good roads, the

A GREAT SHOW

Henri French, the actor who arrived
yesterday morning in the Siberia, made
a great hit at the Orpheum last night.
His juggling with a top hat and cane,
comically aided by a colored servant,
gave the crowded house side aches
from explosive mirth. Another fine
performance was his person6tion of
famous European composers directing
the orchestra.
No doubt the intimation that the
directoire gown was going to be ex-
hibited helped to make the audience
as large as it was. Millions of wealth
were represented in the house and

KETCHEL MAY CUT
LOOSE FROM PAPKE

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.-Un-
less Manager Joe O'Connor has word
very shortly from Los Angeles that
Billy Papke has signed and deposited
his forfeit, the Ketchei-Papke match
that was arranged by the Jeffries Club
in Los Angeles for Labor Day, is in
danger of being declared off. While
O'Connor has no engagement for Ket-
chel at that time, he thinks that Papke
should have sent word, and is inclined
to be fractions.
Joe has not been talking for publ
cation, but to several friends he said
that tn etime which he gave the Los
Angeles people has already expired,
and he doesn't propose to let them fool
along. When the match was made by
Jack Griffin, O'Connor and Griffin each
deposited $500 with John T. Clark, the
understanding being that Papke's sig
nature was to be secured at once.
Il haven't heard anything about
Papke," O'Connor is quoted as saying
"They were to have eleven days il
which to settle the matter, and they
haven't sent me line. l don't know
but that Ketchel is doing too much
fighting. In any event, they are not
going to monkey with me in that
fashion. l will give them couple OF
days to make good, and if it isn't set
tied, pull down my forfeit"
When he has a second thought OCon-
nor may not be so hasty, for there is
no chance to break into San Francisco
for the September dates, unless Sam
Berger is angling for the card and
even then it would take a Papke to
make a strong fight.
O'Connor, by tine way, has already
had several interviews with Jim Coff-
roth in reference to Burns-Ketchel-
match Not only Coffroth but the 9th
er local promoters realize that such a
fight would be big card, and are al
ready in the field looking for a chance
to grab it up.

CANNOT FOOL
THE JAPANESE
QUALITY OF RAILROAD EQUIP
MENT SENT FROM THIS COUN-
TRY LOSES TRADE.

TAIREN (Manchuria), August o.
Japan is responsible for the introduce
ton of the American railroad system
into Eastern Asia, but she is rapidly
taking to herself the trade in railroad
equipment and material which was
thrown in the beginning to American
manufacturers. The reasons for this
are, first, the poor quality of material
and inferior workmanship used in the
American product, and second, the
ability of the Japanese to duplicate
the American rolling stock at their
own prices even delivering a better
article. American manufacturers will
soon lose his trade if they do not at
once waken to the necessity of exert
ing themselves to retain it.
Another matter for dissatisfaction
has been the poor way in which the
American cars, ETC., have been packed,
carelessness that has resulted in heavy
losses to the Eastern consignors.
The japanese looked over the field
and after comparing the American
railroad system with that of Europe,
decided that the former was the bet
ter for the requirements of Manchur-
ian and Corean traffic. Consequently
a complete American railway system
of 1890 miles now connects the prin-
cipal ports and cities of Manchuria
and Corea. On May 25th of this year,
121 American locomotives, 1403 Ameri-
can freight cars and ninety-three
American passenger coaches were in
stalled on the South Manchurian trunk
lines and on this date the system ex-
tended from Masampo and Fusan, on
the sea of Japan, to Chemulpo and
Antung, on the bay of Corea, thence
to Tairen and Port Arthur, on the
gulf of Pechili, and to Newchwang, on
the gulf of Liaotung.
