While. any expression of liberality

a well-defined plan of providing per-

SPORTS
WHERE WILL JIM
AND JACK FIGHT

II Jeffrles should agree to box
johnson. where would the contest
take place."
That is what they are asking now.
or all the bids made so far, II is
manifest that only two-thOse of
Wren and Macintosh of Australia
are genuine. and no matter how
Johnson feels about 1t, Jenrics, II
his word counts for anything Is full
ly determined not to fight OF the
American mainland.
To narrow the field still further,
Jeffries for personal reasons will not
adorn any ring pitched within the
confines Of the State of Nevada. And
with the gold camp country elimi-
mated Il begins to look as IL Califor-
mia is the only spot that can offer
hospitality to the men of the ring.
During all the time high-falutin'
offers were pouring In on the men, II
was noticed that Promoter Jim Cof-
froth held aloof and had nothing to
say. Coffroth knows that everything
comes to the man who waits, and he
feels no doubt that when johnson
and Jeffries have reached the deter
mination to engage in real fight
for real money, they will rely upon
him to lead them out of the wilder
ness of false excitement and bogus
bidding.
The latest In the -Jcffrics
business is that Jeffries has absolute
ly refused to discuss the terms of u
contest with Jack johnson. Such be-
ing the case, the prospect of fight
between the men begins to appear
hopeless.

French Patents Bill

The French government, following the
example OF our own and other countries.
has introduced a bill to amend the patent
law Of the country in order to insure the
adequate working OF foreign patents In
France. The Paris correspondent Of the
Times thus translates the principal pro-
vision Of the bill: Patent rights shall
be held 10 lapse in the event OF failure on
the part OF the holder either to exercise
his right in France or in the French
colonies for a period Of three years ar
ter applying for his certificate, or 70 re-
sumo exercise after a similar interval: or.
secondly. in the event OF only partial ex-
ercise Of the patent IN French territory.
In the second event the patent courts

The cultivation Of tobacco in the prov
ince Of Santa Clara, Cuba, IS almost wholly
done on the share system, especially on
the large plantations. as It has been found
impossible TO do the work on the wage
plan. The best results are had from the
workmen giving 10 the owner OF the plan
tation one-third OF the crop. Under this
plan the owner has 10 supply the men
with land, living house. tobacco-curing
house. tobacco poles, oxen. plows. &C..
and all tools necessary for the cultiva-
ton OF the plant. A certain amount Of
money or groceries is advanced to the
workmen. which Is charged I'D against
their two-thirds share at the end OF the
season. or when the tobacco is sold.
Two or more men work together. and
each man euItivates about four acres OF
tobacco. or about $1,000 plants. which in
an ordinary year should yield about 5000
pounds of tobacco. This varies according
20 the year. but these figures are a
good average Work commences about
