vs.. therefore. for being 20 enthusl-
ast,c over the prowess Of this Won
derful child from the West.
"Delving into the lives OF the few
husky gentlemen. such as Jess Viii
lard, Frank Moran and Jim Cofey,
We fail 20 find any such record in
the history of their battles. In fact,
II you will peer very closely at their
records you will discover that knock
outs are very scarce almost as
scarce as free tickets for the Will
lard-Moran fight.
Some skeptics scof at the sensa-
tional suddenness of Andres arbi-
trary actions in annihilatlng his
rivals. Why scof, say ]? When VIII
lard was fighting. or attempting 70
fight, around here for beef an did
anybody ever notice any big crowds
waiting outside the arena for the
present champion to exit, so that
they could give him rousing re
cepiion? You did not, Though We
have the greatest respect for our
dearly beloved worlds champion. We
must in truth confess that his bat
ties around here were nothing but
mediocre.
Having taken up so much of your
valuable time thus far. il is our
bounden duty 10 our Western marvel
TO assert in the public press Of this
country that Andre Anderson defies
any man in the world TO come forth
and do him battle. That's all a man
can say 10 prove he is game and has
faith IN his physical capabilities
"Will you let Andre box with Will

fght?" Mr.. Johnston was asked.

staked lot OF money TO get that bout
Nov. just supposing that the agile and
aggressive Andre starts 10 box with
Willard. And suppose that Andre
should. in his aggressiveness. bring
one over on Willard's jaw and send him
down for the count. That would ruin
the match. woulo it not? tell you

MYSTERY OF ABSENCE
 or STEAMER APPAM.
Shipping Experts Believe She Sank
 About the 18th of January.

London, Jan 29. .-The nystery of the British and African Steam Navigation eOmpany's liner Appam takes first place in the news of the morning newspapers today. and they all agree that the prospect that she will ever come into port may now be regarded as hopeless.
 Shipping experts believe the steamer sank about the 18th of January north- west of Madeira From the prevailing winds 1t is figured that the catastrophe occurred Mpme distance north of where the lifeh0at was found. At the Lon don office of the Elder Denpster line, agents Of the steamer, the belief was expressed that the total loss .of life would aggregate s01 first class and S1 second ciase passengers and 133 members of the c@eW.
 Most of the passengers were English and residents in London, while a ma jor1ty of the crew were natives of Liy- erpooI. Captain Harrison of the steamer was one Of the oldest and most reliable officers in the company's service
 SpecuKnttom regarding the cause of the GAtnGtrpphe varies from a Gubnna- rinG attack tn an internal explosion. The value Of the liner and her cargo is eHti1nated at fully $1.600s 900.
 A very high rate of reinsurance is being quoted on the steamers Ariadne

ANOTHER NOTE OF
 INQUIRY SENT AUSTRIA
Asking if Its Submarine Commander Has. Any Knowledge of Destruction of Steamer Persia.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The United States has addressed another inquiry to Austria asking of any of it's sub marine commanders have knowledge of the destruction of the British liner Persia A statement that they had none, reported to have been handed to Ambassador Pen1eld several days ago, never has been received here.
 State departments officials consider that they virtually have exhausted ev- cry other source of information in their effort to establish what caused the sinking of the Persia with the loss of two American lines Assertions by survivors that the ship was torpedoed by a hostile submarine-presuma Austrfan-have not been proved. The, state department wants a definite statement from the Vienna government and, should a denial be received, the case probably will be considered closed
 Only one despatch has been received from Ambassador Penfield regarding the Persia. That came Jan. 7th and stated merely that the Austrian foreign office then had no information as to the sinking Charge Zwiedingek of the Austrian embassy here has advices Secretary Lansing since that his gov ernment. so far as it had heard from it's submarine commanders, had no re- port of such an attack.
 The second inquiry, officials think, should bring positive statement from the Austrian government, as it is con- si6ered that all of it's submarine com manders in the Mediterranean now have had time to report since the ragedy.
