COrbetf Accents Def.

Mccoy issued a challenge in the early
part of the summer Of 1900 and. after
much backing and filling on both sides.
It was accepted by Corbett and the
match arranged to take place on Aug.
80. Suspicious circumstances surround
ing many Of the fights that had taken
place in New York. chief among them
the McCoy-Choynski affair. had given
the boxing game q big black eye in
New York and tho opponents OF pugil-
ism had succeeded in having Q statute
passed by the Legislature repeating the
old Horton law. The latter. as every
n knows. allowed boxing contests to
be held by reputable boxing clubs. for
which an admission could be charged
and at which q decision could be rem
dered. The new statute was to take
effect on Aug. 81. 1900. and so the Nc
Coy-Corbett fight was scheduled for the
last day that the Horton law would be

THOUSANDS ATTEND
 THE FESTIVITIES
Clark Delivers Speech That is Regarded as the Key note of His Race For The Presidential Elec- tion.

LOUISIANA. Mo, Sept l1-Champ Clarks old neighbors, which means all of historical Pike county, and a whole lot of the rest of Missouri whom Senator Clark has shown, % gave him a memorable home coming today, shook his hands, cheered him to the echo, and made the welkin ring with their homecoming greetings to the next President of the United States"
 It is an occasion no man could ever forget, or hardly recall without emo tion, no matter how many years may intervene. The occasion from early morning. when Champ Clark reached the picnic grounds, has been one of heartfelt testimonials of pride and respect and love for the man who will always be to Pike countyans their neighbor and friend Thousands are here. At noon the throng had an old-fashioned southern basket picnic the big feature of the homecoming celebration next to an address Clark is scheduled to deliver late this after noon, when the speaker of the House is expected to launch what may be regarded as the keynote of his cam paign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency.
 Ii was at Louisiana that Champ Clark, then a young lawyer without money. clients or influence. landed thirty-six years ago from river steamboat, to make his way in what was then much of a frontier wild erness. His brains and lovable dis position, kindliness of heart, have made him the idol of his home peo- pie, the people who know him best
 In his speech Clark said: Regard ing the assertion by the minimizing that we have too much politics and too many politicians when we reflect that the word politics in it's higher sense means science government, we must concede that the more politics We have the better for the govern ment, which affects the happiness and prosperity of every resident"
 Clark declared there are not enough politicians and contended that there are not as many corrupt men in poli- tics, or any other business, this year as last.

HUN. RALPH H. CAMERON ID
 MAKE RACE FUR J. 5. SENATE
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR [. H. ROBINSON
Interesting Incidents of His Career not
 Hitherto Generally Known.

The funeral of C. H. Robinson whose death occurred Saturday night, will be held in the parlors of Mohn X Driscoll this afternoon at o'clock Publication of short biographical sketch in Sun days Republican, brought out some interesting additional facts in connec- tion with his career.
 It was learned that he played even more conspicuous part in the early history of Kansas than he did in Mis- sOuri, though he was active in both states. He was a clerk in the conVen- tion that formulated the constitution of the state of Kansas. Among others who served the convention in a like capacity was the late John J. Ingalls,, later Kansas most notable senator.
 It was recited yesterday also. by a friend of Robinson who got his infor- nation at first hand, that MT. Robin son played quite an important role in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the presidency. He was chairman Of the Kansas delegation in the con- vention that nominated Lincoln and was an earnest supporter of the latter. But some members of the delegation were strong partisans of William H. Seward and two of them had practi- cally pledged the delegation to Seward.
 There was a crisis in the proceedings when a letter from Seward to Horace Greeley was made public. which indi- cated that Seward was likely to extend favors to the slave holding interests that the abolitionists could not toler- ate. When this letter was laid before the Kansas delegation in a conference by itself. MT. Robinson made an ap- peal that threw its strength to Lin coin.
 Concerning his reason for refusing to apply for a pension, the following explanation was given yesterday. MT. Robinson had served not only in the civil war but in the Mexican war. As officers he and two others who wer fighting solely for patriotism, agreed among themselves that in view of the fact that they were well paid as of ficers. and the government had settled with them once by giving them certain lands. they could not in honor ask for further assistance It was thus the pact was made which all kept faithful ly to the end.

HOVAL SMITH MAY
 BE RUNNING MATE
Other Political Gossip As sociates Name of Isaac T. Stoddard, of This City, With the Gubernatorial Nomination.

Heretofore all the announcements of candidates for the big offices have come from the democratic side. but there has been no assumption in any quarter that republican opponents would be lacking. AS the time ap- breaches for the conference of repub- licans from all parts of the territory which has been set for the goth of this month, there is a notable increase of public interest in republican prob abilities, and before the goth there Will no doubt be authoritative state ments from sundry republican aspir- ants
 It is already known that there vii! be at least two republican candidates in the field for the United States senate, and possibly more. The Re publican yesterday received author itative information that Delegate Ralph II. Cameron will be a candidate for the senate. and the understanding is equally definite that HOval A. Smith ol Bisbee, chairman of the republican territorial committee in the Cameron campaign of 1908. will also be a can- didate for the senate.
 There has been considerable amount of curiosity among republi- cans as to the ambitions of Delegate Cameron. It was assumed that he would be a candidate either for the house of representatives or for the senate, and the general guess has been that he would announce himself for the senate. So far as expressions have been made by republicans, there is no sign that there will be any opposition to Ir. Cameron's senatorial ambitions. He has made such an excellent record as delegate that republicans generally feel disposed to support him for any Iosition he wants.
 As to whether Mir Smith will have competition for the other senatorial job remains 10 be seen.
 As to the governorship, most of the talk thus far heard has dealt with the availability of Isaac Taft Stoddard of Phoenix, and Judge Ed W. Wells of Prescott Either of them. it is every where admitted. would make an ac- Ceptable candidate It is understood that MT. Stoddard will make the race if the party wants him. There is no authentic information as to whether Judge Wells has ambitions in the di- rcctiOn Of the governors office
 As to the nominations for the su- irene court. discussion of available timber has not taken a wide range. as vet There are to be but three jus tIces of the supreme court in the state government, whereas there are five now: IL is not known whether any of the present occupants of the supreme bench will aspire 10 further service The sentiment among republicans To- cally is that if Chief Justice Kent de- Sires to remain longer on the bench he will have no opposition for the nomination. There have been many suggestions that Judge Kingan of Tue scn would make an excellent candi- date for the supreme bench. but there has been no intimation that he would be willing to relinqulsh his practica for a judicial office.

CHINESE SOLDIERS LEAVE FOR NORTH
Bloodshed has Already Been Reported in the Disturb ed Section and the Troops May be Badly Needed to Protect Foreigners.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 11-AH the American naval strength deemed ne- cessary as a precaution is being con- centrated near the scene of possible disorders in China. The American admiral has cabIed the navy depart ment today that he sighted yester- day the Flagship Saratoga accom- panied by the cruisers New Orleans and Helena. bound from Shanghai for Ranking.
 Against the strong current in the Yangtse the cruisers are likely Co make slow progress It is expected however. they will arrive in Ranking tomorrow and at that point relieve the small gunbOats which will push on up the river and get near as pos sible to the scene of the disturb ances in Szechuen province and af- ford an asylum for the missionaries who were obliged to leave ChengnU. in the heart of that territory. WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.-Bloed has been spilled in the province of Sze Chuen. China, and the situation. dtt'IuluE lo EON tIullltul CdDlc It- ports received in Washington this morning. is rapidly growing worse. Clashes between troops and the maddened rioters are occurring daily. In the residence section of Cheng Tu and vicinity. more than twenty riot CTS were yesterday shot down by soldiers. and a number of the lat ter were also slain.
 The attacks upon residences were made by dissatisfied natives. The hatred of foreigners. especially Am ericans. is growing more intense daily
 Information which reached the state department today indicates that American women and children have .already left Cheng Tu under escort of troops. and it is thought that by now all the other foreign residents have departed. A thousand Chinese soldiers left Hankow for the disturb ed province Saturday.
 The situation is like that when the Boxer outbreak occurred in the latter part of the year 1900. Then all the nations of Europe together with Jap an and the United States made a combined march and attack for the relief of the legations in Peking.

FRENCH FEAR THAT DAINTY FEET MAY
 INCREASE IN SIZE

WASHINGTON, D. c, Sept. IA question that is being much discussed by French shOemakers is whether the size of the French women's feet has increased. Since the last congress of American shoemakers at Boston gave out the statement authoritatively that American women's feet have grown larger in the last generation, the French have been investigating the subject with a great deal of interest and concern.
 French women always have worn shoes much foo long for them, in order to give their feet a narrow ap- perance, but lately they have been adopting the American style of shoe, which is shorter and much broader
