 MT. Carnegie's frequent donations to public enterprises, particularly in be- half of education, were warmly pra1s- ed by the King. The conversation next turned to the development of art and science in Italy, and immediately after MT. Carnegie's departure the King stated that he was surprised to find MT.

Especial from United PreSS)
 Philadelphia, May 17.-While Jack betting to win his six round mill with Jack OBrien here on Wednesday night, there are plenty of sports who are willing to take a chance on the local fighter and are taking the short end of it on O'Brien's assurance that he intends to carry the fighting to the negro champion. They argue that if O'Brien keeps his word he will out point Johnson as the latter has always been afraid of punishment and has stalled around in the earlier periods of his battles.
 This will be Johnson's first ring ap- pearance since he win the champion ship from Tommy Burns in Australia He declared to-day that he is in fine fettle and he expects to put O'Brien out within the limited period.
 New York, May 17.-Billy Gibson, the local fight manager has been asked to bring Billy Papke. who knocked Hugo Kelly out in half a round Saturday, and Stanley Mitchell together here for ten rounds. Papke is willing and in letter to his manager declares he can, if necessary. fight at Ketchell's weight. The chief difficulty in match ing them, it is said, will. be the fact that fights in this city are limited to ten rounds but as there is big money here for good scrappers this may be overcome.
 Chicago. May 17-James J. Jeffries will have the assistance of his old rins rival. James J. Corbett, in E1s training for his fight with Jack Johnson.

Jeffries went out to the White Sox baseball park this morning. donned a uniform and work ed out with the players.
 San Francisco. May 17.-Hugo Kelly has broken the Cardinal rule of all de- feated fighters. He has not yet asked his conQueror, Billy PaDke. for an other match. In fact Ke1ly's manager leaves a strong impression that he may retire from the ring. sI don't admit anything" Kelly said. 'It was lost the game. I guess I must have stepped on a wet spot and then went down. I don't know just yet what I will do." Papke was the happiest man intend to claim the middleweight title.'' he said. Everyone knows that Ketchen is too heavy to make the weight. He must scale TO pounds now. If he can't make the weight he's got to lose the title and that's all there is to it. But I'll fight him again if he wants it."
 Mexico City. Mex. May 17.-A1l fight fans here are rejoicing to-day in the resumption of boxing. The first fight was pulled off at Tialnepantla over the boundary line of the Federal district.

 The stock market may well meet with reactions after it's recent rapid and perhaps disproportionate rise. In view, however, of the solid foundations that exist for industrial and commer- cial progress. it seems still the wiSest policy to buy the standard and most promising secondary issues for ulti- mate profit. Nor is there reason, barring the always present possibility of accident to wait for more than nor nal reactions.

Some time ago the temporary presi-

would resign office when congress

that he will remain until the political
affairs of the country are more set
tied, unless he be ousted by force.
Since the departure for Europe of
