LANCfoRD IS GIVEN UNTIL
THIS EVENING TO DECIDE

terday from Britt in answer to one
sent by Hall on the day previous,
wherein Hall stated that the forfeit
money of both Ketchel and Langford
would have to be deposited by six
O'Clock last evening or else the fight
would be declared off. Britt asked
for an extension of 4S hours in
which to bring the colored man to
time and stated that he had offered
the colored bruiser $4,000 of his
end of the purse as an additional in
ducement to have him try conclusions
with the middleweight champion. 1t
has been the opinion of those hand
ling the fight that Langford has been
stalling with the view of getting
more money than was originally Of
fered, and if such is the case it is
very evident that Britt's promise to
come through with an additional $2,-
500, that the colored man or his
manager knew that it would pay
we'll to hold off until the last mo-
ment Mr.. Hall extended the time
until this evening and if by that
time, the forfeit money of both
fighters is not deposited, the match
will be declared off and the people
no longer held in suspense.

Boston, Mass July 81.
Tex Hall.
Make your arrangements with Joe
Woodman. Anything he will do will
satisfy me.
Signed SAM LANGFORD.
The above telegram was received
late yesterday afternoon by Tex Hall
and it had the effect of making the
local fight promoters do much guess
ing, as it did not have the ring to it
as did the message received by Hall
Tuesday forenoon, wherein the color
ed fighter was supposed to have ac-
cepted the original offer made him.
A wire was received Tuesday af-
ternoon, stating that Woodman was
authority for the statement that
Langford hadn't accepted the original
offer. When this word was received
Mr.. Hall had the local operator take
the matter up with the New York Of
fee and find out who sent the mes
sage supposed to have come from
Langford.
No information has been received
concerning this matter up until the
telegraph office closed yesterday af-
ternoon.
A dispatch was also received yes

FARM ERS
BEGGING FOR HELP

, WASHINGTON, July 21.-
, Fifty thousand able bodied
, men are wanted in the harvest
, fields of the west to take care of
, the bonteous crops. Farmers
, are literally begging for help,
, according to officials of the de-
, partment of commerce and
, labor, whose functions in part
, are to find employment for the
, throngs of aliens who come
, into this country. The officials
, are almost powerless because of
, the almost penniless condition
, of SO many of the immigrants.
, Assistant Secretary McHafg OF
, the department of commerce
, and labor suggests that the rail-
, roads trasport the aliens west
. at actual cost, as their profit
. would come in hauling back
, the tremendous product OF the
. aliens labor.

cabinet fell suddenly last night
under the most dramatic circum
stances, at the conclusion of violent
debate over the naval scandals.
M. Del Casse. chairman of the in
vestigating committee, led the at
tack upon the naval administration,
especially during the incumbency OF
NJ Pelletan and NJ Thompson lot
mer ministers of marine.
| NJ. Picard, who succeeded M
Thompson, had promised In the name
of the government to complete
series of reforms, when an incident
occurred which changed majority
into minority
! Premier Clemenceau, who always
| has been an adversary of Nj. Del
tcasse, smarting under the criticisms,
and doubtless over-confident OF
majority, taunted the ex-minister oil
foreign affairs, who was thrown
overheard by the Rouyier ministry
at the dictaton of Germany during
the crisis of 1905, with having led
France to humiliation at Algeciras.
The spectre of that chapter OF
Frances foreign history In which
Delcasse was sacrificed by fatal
error. Instantly there was an up.
roar of dissent from both sides OF
the chamber. Delcasse flung BACK
the taunt in Clemenceau's face with
bitter words, declaring amid that
France had gone to Algeciras in the
interest of peace.
M. Delcasse intimated that Glenn
eneeau had inspired articles in the
foreign press during the crisis, but
the latter emphatically denied this.
The premier seemed for the first time
in his parliamentary career to lose
his head Finally M. Delcasse, as
he was explaining the situation oil
1905 drew himself up proudly and
said:

that subject. have nothing to fear,

M. Clemenceau now evidently in
rage, tried to parry the thrust by
returning to the charge.
"Your policy as foreign minister,
he shouted, lied us to the greatest
humiliation France has experienced
in twenty years.

arose, several deputies crying. 1T Is

MISSOULA, Mont. July 2l--Reg-

ISTS GREATLY PLEASED. A

PARIS, July 21.-The work or
forming new ministry to take the
place of the Clemenceau regime
which came to a sudden end last
night began early today. 1t is now
assured that three members of the
old cabinet will be retained in the
reconstruction of the ministry but
the government advisers are princi-
pally concerned in re-solidifying the
republican bloc in order that its
policy man be continued here and
abroad. 1t is generally believed that
if M. Borgeois the former minister
of foreign affairs can be induced to
accept the task of forming new
ministry speedily, a crisis can be
avoided.

DALLAS, Tex, July 21.--A mes
sage received here from. Galveston
before the last wire was lost stated
that the western part of the city
was under seven feet of water and
that two spans of the railroad bridge
connecting Galveston with the main
land were damaged and water was
flowing a foot deep over the seawalls.
Wind was blowing sixty-five miles
an hour.
HOUSTON, July 21.-From the
nature of the Gulf of Mexico hur-
ricane it can be said with certainty
that if the water is risen at Calves
ton so that the surf is jumping over
the seawall there is also perilously
high water along the Texas coast for
scores and perhaps hundreds of miles
on either side of Galveston. Small
communities, fishing villages and a
number of summer resorts along
this unprotected coast would be in
great danger of being overwhelmed
by the waves.
NEW ORLEANS, July 21.-At-
tempts to get into wireless COM
munication with Galveston are with
out success up to one O'Clock this af-
ternOon.
