McFarland-Mike Gibbons battle,
scheduled for Feb. II in New York.
Frequent rumors were afloat the
early part of the week that the stock
yards man would demand such a
heavy guarantee that the Eastern
promoters would be unable to COM
ply. There was also some talk of a
hitch over weight.
But Packey is training every day
for the prospective fight, and his
hard work is a pretty sure indication
of his intention to go. through with
the mill. Down at local gymnasium
Mcfarland is working like Trojan
at the weights, and will probably
taper off his work with some boxing,
He intends to remain in Chicago
until Feb. 8, arriving in New York
almost on the eve of the fight. He
will allow himself a couple of days
to work the train kinks out of his
muscles when he reaches the big
town.
Gibbons is sticking to the reserVa-
ton up in St. Paul, and reports from
the Wisconsin city are to the effect
that he is working every bit as hard
as the local man. Gibbons will come
through Chicago on his way East,
stopping off here for day or so to
allow local fans to see him~in practice

Tom Gibbons, brother of Mike, has
been matched for a. ten-round go
with Knockout Brown, the local
Greek, at Hudson, Wis, Feb. 9. The

this more or less pure and consider

haven't the required shoes and

PARLIAMENT WILL
 MEET TOMORROW British Lawmakers Insist That Gen. sorship Be Less Strict-De-
 mand Fleet Act.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The British Parliament will meet tomorrow even- ing. It is stated that the officials of the war department will be round- ly roasted because of the undue cen sorship which has prevented the peo- pie from receiving news of operations at the front and has greatly incensed the people of neutral countries.
 Members of Parliament state that the method of the censorship has re- tarded enlistments and that if the people were kept informed of con- ditions at the front they would inn mediately respond whenever more men are needed. The present meth ods, it is charged, is crushing the in' terest in the war.
 The admiralty is also in for cen- surfing because of the inaction of the British fleet, which has lost Il cruis- CTS in the present war, while the Ger man loss has been much less. The lawmakers will insist upon prompt action by the admiralty and the fight ing of a decisive engagement. They insist that the German naval victories are humiliating.

Prohibiting Vote for Eight Years Did Not Pass-Can
 Vote Next Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-The final returns on the vote last Tues day regarding the taking Of vote within eight years upon prohibition for this state show that the drys have won and that if the required number of signatures can be secured to the application for a vote the state au- thorities must grant it at the cleo tion next year.
 The brewery interests and the wine growers had hoped that the amend ment carried at the same time the state continued wet and that for eight years they would not be called upon to finance another campaign to keep the state open as the interests paid out $5OO,O00 during the recent cleo tion and may be forced to do the same in another year, thus cutting into the profits very materially.
 It is believed, however, that the brewery interests from Washington and Oregon. which had contemplat ed moving into this state. believing themselves safe for eight years, will now reconsider their determination and will in all probability move tc Canada. 'r -.e.'

CANADIAN CATTLE BARRED FROM US. Officials Will Allow No Live Stock From Across the Line-Con-
 ditions Bad

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The De- partment of Agriculture has issued an order barring Canadian cattle from entrance into the United States. This action was taken to prevent infected cattle from crossing the line. The government experts are still rushing the work of clearing up the stock yards, killing the diseased cattle, tracing the herds and trying to pre- vent the spread of the disease to oth- CT states.
 How 1t was possible for so many cattle to become infected before the discovery of the disease is causing the officials of the department grave con cern, as they had thought the system of inspection was so close as to make an epidemic impossible. Some new method of inspection will be neces- sary. according to the inspectors, to prevent the recurrence of the cpl demic.
 The city authorities of Chicago are working hard to save the people from infection through the eating of dis eased meat, the drinking of impure milk or the use of the butter from diseased animals. The strictest of regulations are in force. '.*
