LOSS OF GERMANS
Placed By French at 5000 or
10000 Killed.

London, August IA dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Compa-
ny from Basel, Switzerland, says:
Following terrible battle at Muel-
hansen the hospital facilities proved
absolutely inadequate to care for the
almost incredible number of wound
ed. Not only are all the hospitals
filled but schools, churches and no.
tells are occupied to their capacity.
Even then it has been found necessa-
ry to charter special trains to con-
vey the wounded to Muelheim and
other towns.
The latest estimates place the Ger
man losses at from eight to ten
thousand.
A dispatch from the French For
eign Minister, issued by the French
embassy here to-day, reiterates that
the French troops behind Muelhau-
sen and Alsace, have not retired but
have VIGOROUSLY resisted an entire
German army corps"
The minister adds:
"The Belgian army and the forts
around Liege are intact and are pre-
pared to resist all attacks.

Joe Mandot did not make any
friends when he refused to fight
Johnny Grifiths in Racine last night
because of small attendance and gate
receipts.
Promoter Wagner had guaranteed
Mandot $500, and Grifiths was to. re-
ceive $500 for ten rounds work, more
than enough for men of their class.
The receipts totaled only $3.50.
Wagner asked the boxers to help him,
promising Mandot $500 and Grifiths
$500. The latter agreed to mix for
that sum, but the. New Orleans man
held out for 500. Wagner was I'M
able. to secure such an amount and
had to- call the mill off. AS a result a
crowd of angry fans filed out of the
arena and declared they we're
through with Racine
BY refusing $500 Mandot put him
self in a fair way not to get anything
in Racine in the future, as fans will be
skeptical about attending bouts there.
Mandot should have shown himself q
sportsman and helped Wagner out of
a bad hole.

Senate a resolution which would pave
the way for repeal of that section of
the old law providing no tolls

The passage of this resolution
would be an important argument
against the administration proposed

The resolution asks the secretary OF

and was referred to the committee on

Chamberlain introduced a resolu
