Growth Of the Bureau.

AS most people are aware, the insti-
tuition known as the International Blu
reau of American Republics, or Pan
American bureau, as it is usually
called, is a sort of common headQuar-
ters and clearing house for informal
ton, maintained jointly by all the
American nations from the great lakes
to Cape Horn. II was the outgrowth
of the first Pan-American conference,
which was held in Washington in 1889,
and it is maintained by common
fund to which all of the Independent
nations of the three Americas chip
in" in proportion to their population.
Iuasmuch as the United States by this
plan pays more than half of the ex.
penses of the bureau, its headquarters
have from the outset been located in
Washington.
Some years ago when the rented
ouarters of the bureau in Washington
became manifestly inadequate for -
eXr1-. ding activities, a project was SCI
afoot to erect permanent LONE for

JEFFRIES DOWN
TO 22S POUNDS
WHITE CHAMPION is WORKING
HARD-NEGRoES THREATEN
To KILL BOB ARMSTRONG.

JEFFRIES' TRAINING CAMP,
RoWARDENNAN. CAL Special
When Jim Jefrries started on his run
to Boulder Creek Saturday morning he
tipped the beam at exactly 22S
pounds.
This Information was given out by
Farmer Burns. who hailed the former
champion into the darkest recesses of
the gymnasium last night, and after
putting him on the scales got busy
with the tape and recorded a brand
new set Of measurements.
According to the figure given out
by the veteran trainer, Jeffries stands
just feet y inches in height, meas
ures is inches around the neck. As
inches around the chest normal and
50h inches expanded, SO inches
around the waist, &c inches thigh, II
inches calf, 10 inches ankle, 16 inches
biceps, is inches forearm and So
inches wrist.
An indication of the bitter animos-
ity that may be aroused by the ne
groeS of the country against Bob
Armstrong, himself a colored man,
for helping Jeffries condition for his
fight against the black champion, was
conveyed to Armstrong this morning
in an anonymous postal card which
he received from the South. In a
brief, but vindictiVe, message Arm
strong is warned that he will be kill
ed if he ever ventures to return to
the South. The postal reads: Balm
bridge, Ga.-You are a dead man If
you ever come South for training a
white man TO beat Jack Johnson"
Armstrong refuses to take the
threat seriously.
Il don't think any of them niggers
down there will do much to me-" said
he. Anyhow, l don't expect to visit
cambridge in the near future
Jeffries was up bright and early this
morning, prepared to put in an even
more strenuous day than he did yes
terday. He started off with a nine
mile run and followed up with an
hours gymnasium work before lunch
con. He showed great vim in his box
ing bout with Armstrong, and there
were times during the entertainment
when the darl1ey probably wished he
was in cambridge. One of the next
things on the program will be a box
ing siesta between Jim and Bill
Papke. When it is coming off no one
will say, but it is certain the choice
morsel will be handed out very short
ly.
Choynsk began light work today
and expects to take a regular part in
the training work by the first of next
week.

Cursed by the Lamas.

One afternoon, writes G. H. Meares
in the May Wide World Magazine.
Brooke and ] visited a large lamaserai
situated at the mouth OF the valley
across the river.
This lamaserai was a picturesque
spot, with its gilded roofs and spIen-
did walnut trees. 1t possessed a
couple of very fine and grateful watch
towers, built in the shape OF stars. or.
rather. in the form of two intersect-
ing squares.
When we first arrived the people
were very friendly, and we freely
talked with them, took photographs
and then distributed a number of
small mirrors as presents to some of
the girls and children, who were de
lighted with their gifts. Our gener-
oSlty did not, however, have the de-
sired effect, for presently some OF the
lamas came along and, seeing the mir
rors, at once told the people that we
had presented them in order 10 spoil
their eyes" Thereupon they seized
the offending looking glasses and
trampled them to pieces. We were
urged TO leave, but declined, and
shortly afterwards we noticed that the
Iamas had collected together, while a
further gathering of priests had as
sembled on the roof of the temple. To
our intense surprise, they then be-
gan to curse us with full choral ser
vice, employing bell, book and Gym
balls. At the end of each stanza-the
meaning of which, of course, we did
not understandable whole population
Joined in the chorus and clapped their
hands in unison. Meanwhile, we stood
opposite this extraordinary gathering,
smoking. beating time to the music,
and joining in the chorus to the best
OF our ability. All the people seemed
much surprised that we were not af-
fected and that nothing happened to
US.
Next day we thought it as we'll to
leave, and accordingly we started off
again up the valley, past the lama
serai, and then up over the mountains.
That night we all slept in a little de-
serted hut high up in the mountains,
where the snow pheasants and rhodo-
dendron partridges chartered and
called to one another. Next morning
we moved off early, tOiling slowly up
wards through lovely forests of rho
dodendrons and birch trees festooned
with delicate fairy moss, and here we
made our midday halt.
