 The principal suburban railway ser vice ran special trains throughout the day to accommodate thousands more than the regular trains could carry, who were anxious to see the advanc- ing troops.

 GONE BACK.
Still Claims Championship and Wants
 to Fix Terms.

New York, April 20-'T will fight MT. Jack Johnson. I will defend my title as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world" Before an audience that packed the American Music Hall, in which there were as many women as men, James J. Jef- fries made this formal announcement tonight. It was the signal for great joy Excited men ledped from their seats. shouted and cheered. and the women applauded Their shrill and ex- cited cries of approval as they stood up and waved their handkerchiefs and even their peach basket hats at the ponderous. lowing and blushing ''un- defeated champion" added pictur- sequences to the scene.
 Early in the day, Jeffries and the police had to clear a way for him to his automobile. or he might have been captured and borne off by his admir- CTS. After his sparring exhibition with Sam Berger, the audience shouted for Jeffries to come out and make the statement. The big fellow soon ap- peared, his dressing gown only reveal ing his shaggy head and great red fists.
 There are several conditions attach ed to Jeffries re-entry into the prize ring. First, Johnson must defeat Ketchel Then Jeffries cannot sign articles possibly for ten months. and he insists that the fight shall take place in this country. and that it shall be un- limited as to rounds. He made these conditions known orally to the New York papers when he handed out the following written statement: 'I will say that I never felt better. I have held off making the announcement un- til 1 became sure I was absolutely the same Jeffries as when I retired four years ago. I did so then after defeat ing every possible contender for the title. There was no one left for me to meet.
 "The present heavyweight situation is the only thing that could have brought me from retirement I have all the money I will need. and there is no monetary consideration that could tempt me into the ring, if I was not sure that I could easily defeat any challenger for the championship.
 AS for Mir. Johnson, the tactics which he has employed. presumably to attempt to force a match, have been such that I felt that I would only lower myself by replying. until I felt I was prepared to say would fight"

THE YOUNG TURKS DEMANDS
They Involve the Furnishing Of a Long List of Those Responsible For the Trou- ble. Soldiers of Garrison
 GoingOverto the Invaders.

Constantnople. April 2O.-Sultan Abdul Hamid is waiting in his palace for whatever may befal. His grand viZier. Tewfik Pasha, has announced that without fear. the sultan will re- main in his palace and accept the fate prepared for him and his coun- try. Tewfik Pasha and the minister of war, Edhim Pasha, who sent their rsignations late last night. decided to withdraw them today and the grand vizier is passing most of the time with the sultan. Maxim Pasha is still in command of the garrison but no preparations have been made to re sist the advance of the Salonika troops. The constitutionalist lines now envelop this city. but the com mander-in chief. Gen Husni Pasha. is still at Hademoki and it is not likely the invaders will enter the city before tomorrow night or next day. It is understood that the Salonikans have submitted to the government a list of persons whose punishment is de- manded.
 This list includes deputies. journal ists and theologians. But apparently there is the utmost good feeling be- AttlA llit 44ih dAtLS anu lilt EtSlutlllS of the city, many of whom visited the camps of the Salonika troops today and were received hOspitably.
 Two proclamations signed by the commanding general of the army of investment and addressed respectively to the citizens of Constantinople and the garrison, were issued today. They have had reassuring effect. That sent to the garrison denounces as criminal and mOnstrous the acts committed under the cover of de- manding that the sheri law supersede the constitution, by bands of eXecu- tioners. vile conscience agitators and partisans of absoluti~n. who deluded the soldiers and populace so that par liament was stained with blood. the nation plunged in mourning and blot made on the Ottoman army. whose honor had remained intact for the last six hundred years
 After explaining that the Salonika army had come to remove the stain, the proclamation formulates two de- mands: First, the full reinstatement of the army and navy officers, and that the soldiers take an oath in the presence of the Sheik IT Islam to obey their superiors and not to mix in politics.
 Second, that the garrison undertake not to interfere with the punishment of the guilty persons, and that the spies and others who provoked the disorders be denounced. Finally if both demands are accepted by the land and sea forces and they show real obedience, nothing will befall the garrison.
 The proclamation to the pOpulace explains that the object of the in vesting army is the re-establishment of the constitution, which is in ac- cordance with the sheri. and the pun ishment of the traitors. It assures

He said that in d fight subsequent to the killing, Michel was shot four times but managed to make his escape.
 In the meantime, Sheriff Nelson had taken the matter up with Sheriff Knudsen, the present sheriff of San Pete county, who directs that the suspect be held. He corroborates the story of the killing of Sheriff Burns and the wounding of Michel He says he will leave ~t once for Tucson.
 The prisoner was searched and it was found the he bears four bullet wounds. He said he had received them in California and that he was never in San Pete county. He was not very communicative and the officers believe he is the man wanted.

Stockton, April 2O.-Admiral Evans in an interview here today expressed the belief that California was right in enacting the anti-Japanese laws in respect to the schools, but he said the laws designed to prevent Japanese owning real estate were embarrassing to the general government.
 Asked for an expression regarding the annexation of Canada to the United States he said there was a sentiment in Canada favoring it, but he would not express his conviction.
 He declared that war with Japan was not at all possible as the Japan CSC had too much sense to engage in conflict with the United States.
 Notwithstanding much that has been said about the English and Ger man navies, when the United States battleships now under construction were completed, Uncle Sam's navy would stand unrivaled, the admiral declared. He agreed with Hobson that there should be more war vessels on the Pacific coast.
