With a grunt he charged, head down,
one arm before his face, the other
drawn back, and when he struck the
sound was like that of club on a
quarter of beef. The blow spun Duval
half about and the next rocked him.
He grappled for Ben, but Ben was
gone. He rushed for Ben but Ben
sidestepped and struck Duval as he
lurched past.
The Bull gave up trying to close. He
struck out, now, with renewed saw
agery as they stood toe-to-toe for a
moment. He lodged a brace of drives
which, 1t seemed, would have felled a
horse. so great was the effort behind
them, and then, feinting, sent In a
slashing uppercur.
The great fist landed squarely on the
point of Ben's jaw, lifted him from his
feet and sent him reeling clawing the
air, over on his back again.
Elliott was dazed by that blow.
Bells changed thunderously in his ears
and lights flashed and hickered before
his eyes but as he crashed down to
the floor Bird-Eye's voice, shrill and
frantic, cut through the fog that had
folded over him:
9TH boots TIL boots!"
Boots, yes. Bull Duval did not fling
himself on his PROSTATE adversary. this
time. Erect. he strobe forward two
measured PAGES three. and on
the fourth he bent backward from the
hips, lifted his right foot and raked it
out before him; raked those many
spikes in the sole straight at the face
Of his fallen adversary.
But his river boot only swung across
the place where face had been. One
lone spike ripped the skin over the
cheek bone; companion left bright
red trace. Ben had jerked his head
sideways. moved it that quarter inch
which left his face still face and not
mass of raw flesh ribbons.
Duval teetered on his left foot, hop
ping for balance and cursing because
he had missed, as Ben, Keeling to his
feet, shouted:
keep out! My fightw He had
seen, as he came erect, Bird-Eye Blaine
leap for the wood box and grasp the
heavy iron poker. "My fghti" he re-
peated and his hoarse voice was COM
handing.
Bird-Eye fell back, clinging to the
poker, lips moving. 1t was Elliott's
fight, indeed. He had seen many men
fight before, had Bird-Eye Blaine; born
to rough life, he had lived it fully.
He had seen countless battles but
never had he witnessed such a fury as
Ben Elliott loosed then.
He drove out with both fists, heed
less of defense, blind to Duval's counter
offensive. He shouted as he struck. He
used knee to break another hold, he
bit when Duval tried to throttle him
with the grip of both hands. He
danced as the Bull sought to trample

TOM | LOUCHRAN CAN'T FIND ANY GOOD OPPONENTS
Opposition, While Touring Europe, Said to
 Be Too Easy

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Tommy Lough- ran, by completely outpointing and outclassing young Maurice Strick- land of New Zealand, has acquired the gentle worry of who and where to fight on his current European tour.
 His fight with Strickland was easy, so easy that London sports writers could do no more than gather up their adjectives of praise and hope for more worthy opponent for the old maestro with the educated left.
 Said one writer: For 10 rounds Loughran, by supreme artistry, bluff ed. out-maneuvered, and outboxed husky puncher, and left the ring with his hair parting still intact" "'
 Too Easy For Loughran
 Said Tommy himself Tt was easy; little too easy. Strickland is young and he showed himself bewil- dered. It really wasn't fair to ths spectators. I'd like to meet homeone with more experience.
 Loughrar now hopes for more bouts in Europe, for he doesn't in tend to start home for while yet, but the English sports writers have been quick to point out that there won't be any rush of challengers. There is talk of match between the Irish American and Len Harvey or Jack Peterson, leading English heavyweights.
 It's Loughran's first experience with British fight fans and he has no complaints, he declares.
 I've been treated royalty. I like boxing before the English public. They're sporting. In fact l think the English boxing public is more fairminded towards foreigner than is the American"
 Tcmmy, the "Woman-Hater
 There is, however, the reputation he has acquired in England as wo- mdQ-IldUGI. n EupiioAfSA iAAoSA '-S " in which the handsome Tommy ex- plained the sheer inability Of a successful fighter to mix boxing and love affairs, is partly responsible.
 "But I'm afraid they sort of fram- ed me-" sighs Loughran. When the young lady reporter showed up to talk to me, she trembled visibly; so much so that had to ask whether she was frightened. Some of my good friends, it seems, had been put ting in some very good words as re- gards my attitude toward the fair sex"
 Plans for future fights for Lough- ran include enc or two in Germany and Belgium, providing someone can be found who's willing to take a boxing lesson la Loughrarl.

 ELKS CONTEST
Many Players Break Five Hundred in Three
 Game Totals

While no records were shattered at the Elks alleys last night, confer ence bowlers chalked up more than the usual number of fancy scores. An even half-dozen of the players broke 500 in the three-game total scoring. Herb Redman of the Bad gers led the procession with a total of 590 points. Second place was hotly contested by John Hahn and R. E. Robertson, both of the Buckeyes, with STA and 572 respectively. Nick Bavard of the Wolverines bowled 554, Paul Kegel of the Badgers 537, and R. R. Brown of the Maroons 535. Bavard bowled the best indi- vidual game of the evening, 227, but Redman achieved the distinction Of being the only bowler to break 200 twice, with game scores of 2l0 and POS.
 The Buckeyes beat the Maroons three straight games, the Badgers won two out of three from the Wild cats, and the Hawkeyes defeated the Wolverines in two out of three games.

FARM EXPORTS TEND

Volume Climbs Toward Mark for

By the Associated Press.
A tendency for the volume of Amer
ican agricultural exports to climb
toward the level of industrial export
volume has been observed by statis-
ticianS.
An analysis of May trade reports
by the foreign agricultural service
division, Department of Agriculture
discloSes that since March farm exports
have risen from 43 per cent of the
l0-year average to 81 per cent, where
as the volume of industrial exports
has slumped from SO per cent to 81
per cent.
All commodities except cotton, to-
bacco and apples show substantial in
creases in volume of exports for May.
Cotton and tobacco nearly held their
own, but apples suffered a severe set
back. Losses in industrial export VOL
ume were fairly general. out the
heaviest decrease was found in re-
fined copper and automobiles and ac-
cessorieS.

OUTLOOK HAILED

Income Expected to Climb
Nearly Billion Ahead of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-In its weekly
summary Of the general business situa-
ton, the Standard Statistics Co. Of
New York currently comments as fol-
lows:
"The prospects that farm income
during the current crop year will be
substantially larger than the relatively
satisfactory returns for the preceding
Il months considerably brightens the
outlook for trade in agricultural areas,
as we'll as for business generally, dur
ing the Fall and Winter.
THE Standard Statistics Co. esti-
mate of the farm value of crops and
live stock this year is placed at $780,
1000, almost $1,000, 900, 900 above
the year before, and represents the
highest total since 1880.
Even though the processing taxes
are later declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court, this estimate
would not be affected materially.
These taxes account for only a small
part of total farm income, and,
furthermore, it is probable that pay
ments in some form or other will be
made to the farmers through the end
of the present crop year, at least.
During the past year or so, the
debt burden of the farmer has been
eased considerably. Interest on mort
cages has been reduced, and a sub
stantial proportion of the rise in agri-
cultural income last year was used for
the retirement of accumulated debt.
This is clearly indicated by the marked
improvement in the receivables posi-
ton of the leading farm implement
companies. The effective buying
power of the farmer this Fall, there
fore, should be much larger than the
rise in income.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Cables and

Britain is ready to

of new issues, firm stock markets.
general business optimism, good rail
earnings-and two fears: That

and that labor troubles which are

Ethiopia controls the real water sup
ply of the Sudan (British) and Egypt,
menaces Aden-one of Britain's most
important naval bases, and partly
dominates the Suez Canal, which is
Britain's key to the East. These are
the worries on one side. On the
other there is the fear that If Mus

tige OF the governing whites in
Africa will suffer a violent setback,
and subject races from Northern
Africa to India may grasp the oppor-
tunity to rebel in unison. However

Textile Workers to Meet.
"The labor problem is no problem
at all-yet. Britain, however, watch
ing labor making new demands all
over the world, is worried by the new
stand of the mine workers and cotton
operatives for higher wages, and the
rumbling discomfort of the unem-
ployed over relief payments. What
happens this week when the textile
workers meet with mill owners will
give some clue to the future.
"The newly constituted London
Electric Transport Finance Corp. is
going ahead with the flotation of its
first f32,030,000 loan for the electrifi-
cation and modernization projects
which London will undertake on its

A CCORDING to the budget sub
~ nitted to Congress last Janu-
~ ary, the Government plans to
4 spend $3.50, ,000, 900 during the
current fiscal year of 1885. de-
clares a review from Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
This will exceed the amount
spent in any previous year with. the
exception of the two war years,
19l7-18 and 191a-1e. 1t will exceed
last years expenditures by $l,l44,-
100000.
This will result in a considerably
larger deficit than in the last fiscal
year, especially since a decrease in
revenues is in prospect. While
ordinary receipts are expected to
show an increase, this gain will be
more than offset by deficit in trust
fund operation in contrast to the
surplus of the last year.
Consequently, it is estimated that
new borrowings of S3.152,000.000 will
be needed during the current year, as
compared with only S1,648, ,00O, 900
last year. This will raise the total
debt from s2S, 7o1 900 900 to 1853
100000. The debt at the end of
next June, however. will be $780,
100000 smaller than the budget
estimate, because this was the
amount by which the actual debt at
the beginning of this year fell below

u. S. DEBT TO END YEAR
WELL BELOW ESTIMATES
Hamilton Institutes Believes Budget
Balancing May Be Delayed;
Sees Recovery Obstacles

last January's estimate upon which
the 1856 budget was based.
LAS a matter of fact. the debt at
the end Of the current fiscal year may
not even reach $3l, ,853, 100000. The
fact that the Government plans to
spend $3.50, 900 900 does not mean
that it will be successful in doing so.
There Is q fair chance that it will
not be able to spend such large
sum. Last year, for instance, the
Government intended to spend S.
581 100000. but its actual expendi-
lures amounted to only S7,376, 900 900.
THE fact that the public debt at
the end of the current fiscal year will
fall below the budget estimate of last
January will tend to make the Gov
ernment feel that it is not essential
to balance the budget in 1861
Consequently. since next year is
election year, and since unemploy-
ment promises to still be at high
level, the prospect Is that the Gov
ernment will continue its heavy ex-
penditures. This means that the
budget will not be balanced before
1878 at the earliest. Economic
recovery thus promises to be retarded
for a considerable period, since not
only balanced budget but a budget
involving much lower taxes than al
present is one of the prime pre-
requisites to the restoration OF q
satisfactory prosperity"

CLIMB PREDICTED
IN RAIL LOAD|NGS
OF COMING WEEKS
Grain Movement Underway.
Coal Shipments Likely to
Stage Comeback.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch to The sxar.


NEW YORK. July 20-The outlook
for railroad freight traffic will improve
considerably if the current indications
of a pickup in heavy industry are
translated into actuality in the next
few months. But, even without count
ing heavily on this help, traffic experts
look for rather definite increase in
car loadings. beginning with the week
just ended, for which the figures will
be published next Friday.
There are two reasons for expecting
better car loadings figures for the
immediate future. One is that coal
shipping is likely to get back to some
thing Like normal, after sharp declines
in the first two weeks of July, which
followed unusually heavy shipments
prior to July 1 in fear of a mine
workers strike. The other reason is
that grain is now beginning to move
in volume, whereas year ago the
peak of the movement had been
reached and passed by this time.
Heavy Industry Watched.
OF more Importance, however, is the
outlook for more than seasonal gain
in freight movements in the Autumn.
There is an old saying among stock
market followers in the Wall Street
district that steel common moves
with the rails"
The meaning of that is simply that
when the railroads are prosperous the
steel industry is prosperous-and vice
versa.
In normal times the railroads are
among the best customers of the steel
industry, buying rails and many forms
of equipment and supplies manufac-
tured Of steel. And when the steel
industry and other heavy goods in
dustries are going full blast, the rail-
roads haul great deal of freight to
and from the manufacturing plants.
Another classification of freight in
which the railroads stand to gain
largely, If heavy industry maintains
its incipient improvement, is what Is
known as miscellaneous" Under
this heading mo building and other
hardware, cement. machinery of 'vari-
GUS kinds. including agricultural i'm
plements, where the volume is steadily
growing, and non-ferrous metals.
Gains Are Forecast.
For the months of July, August
and September the Shippers Regional
Advisory Boards estimate a gain Of
nearly 8 per cent over actual loadings
in the same quarter last year. Grains
are expected to show 10 per cent
gain, citrus fruits al advance of 20
per cent, other fruits 81 per cent,
iron and steel 10 per cent, brick and
clay products "a per cent and lumber
and forest products IA per cent. The
largest gain. according to this esti-
mate, is likely to be seen in loadings
of agricultural implements and We
hicles other than automobiles. which
may top 1884 third-quarter loadings
by AZ per cent.
Shippers look for less favorable
shipments in cotton, live stock and
hay, straw and alfalfa, for which de-
clines of Is, 80 and 80 per cent, re-
spectively, are indicated.
