Ring Side, San Francisco, July 23.
Aftr lighting a battle of eight rounds
that was fraught with brilliant and
courageous work, Robert Fitzsimmons
forfeited h(s last claim upon the heavy
weight championship. lie was knocked
to the floor by Jeffries and counted out
after he had .so badly punished the
champion that It was a foregone con
clusion among the spectators that the
Cornishman must win. deeding from
a number of gashes In the face, appar
ently weakening, and clearly unable to
cope with FUzhimmonb' superior sk(ll,
Jeffries delivered two lucky punches
as Fitzsimmons paused in fiis lighting
to speak to him, and turned the tide.
The battle was brief, but noteworthy,
and will live In pugilistic history.
Fitzsimmons tried once to arise from
the mat, but sank down again in help
lessness and heard himself counted out,
where but a moment before he hud ap
parently had all the better of It.
" ""I will never light again," said the
battle-scarred veteran of the ring,
when he had sufficiently recovered to
talk.
"The tight was won fairly, and to the
best man belongs the laurels."
" "You are the most dangerous man
alive," said Jeffries in return, "and I
consider myself lucky to have won
when I did,"
Fitzsimmons had been lighting at a
furlousgalt, cool and deliberate, ana
chopping the champion to pieces with
the, terrific rights and lefts that have
made him famous. It was the draught
horse and the racer from the tap of the
gong.

lutions are as follows:
Whereas, We, members of the Augus
lianian orderi assembled in quudricnnial
chapter at Vlllanova, Pa., reflecting on
tho sad straits of our brothers religious
in tho Philippine Islands where they havo
manfully toiled for tluee hundied years
and upwards as philanthropists, educa
tors, mlssioncra and plonceis of civiliz
ation, now suffering under grave civil
and religious- liberty, threatened more
over, with lgnomlnons exit from a coun
try, whose very civilization Is the con
quest of their heroic labors and self sac
rifices, do deem it our duty as Amerieal
citizens, who confide in the honor and
integrity of our government, and tho
justice of our people, to rulse our voico
In behalf of these Catholic missloneis,
ithe friars of the Philippines, whoso
honor, Integtity and rights aro so wan
tonly assailed. Thefcrore, be it
Resolved, That we energetically protest
against tho concerted effort which Is be
ing made to defame and villify the friars
of the Philippine Islands nnd to allenato
fiom them the love and reverence of a
people, whom they have ransomed fiom
Ignorance and barbaiisin.
Resolved, That we deplore tho seeming
disposition of our government to dis
credit the services of the friars In the
Philippines, do regard any hindrance to
the legitimate exercise of their labors as
a serious menace to tho moial well be
ing of the people of these Islands, an un
warranted precedent fraught with peril
to tho Catholic chinch In tho United

of Paris and a fatal departure, lrom the
tlmo-honored American pilnclple of sep
aration of church and state,
Resolved, That we protest against tho
genet al condemnation of tho filais for
what may havo been the errors of Indi

accorded all other persons and corpora

Resolved. That we, sensible of tho un
merited obloquy heaped upon the friars
In the Philippine islands by foul stand

and treacherous foes, do pioffer sym
pathy to our suffering brethren and en
courage them to confide In tho hopo that
our government, true to Its mission nnd

Greeted by Large Crowds.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Preis.
Rockland, Maine, July 23. A night in
a railway train, breakfast at the hotel,
greetings by representative Democrats
of this section, and an open-air speech
delivered to 5,000 people, comprised the
programme of AVIlttain Jennings Bryan
from the time of leaving Boston yes
terday to the hour of his departure
from this city before noon today.
With Mr. Bryan were Senator Car
mack, of Tennessee; Charles S. Ham
lin, of Massachusetts. After breakfast
and a brief reception, tho party wus
driven to the court house, where a
stand hurl been built out from tho
steps. From this platform Mr. Bryan
and Senator Carmack addressed an
audience of at least 5,000.
Mr. Bryan discussed taxation, the
money question, trusts nnd Imperial
ism. He recommended as a measure
for needed reform in taxation, a tariff
for revenue only and an income tax.
He said that the money Issue was by
no means' dead, and that he hated a
private monopoly as he hated a mon
archy. ,
Taking up the question of 'Imperial
ism, he said:
"In defense of our national policy,
three reasons are urged. First, there
Is money In It. Those who urge this
should show that It will pay. I would
not put human life and blood against
all the trude of the Orient. Secondly,
that wo are in it by God's will. God
never told us to go to the Philippines
to make a war of conquest. Thirdly,
that we are In because wer cannot get
out of 'It. I denounce a doctrine that
ajna'tion or man can go.sovfar as, to be
unab'le1" to retrace his steps. "We had
no business to make a war in the Phil
ippines, as there was no occasion for
war. Had we treated the Filipinos as
we did the Cubans, there would havo
been no war, I want the same mora!
victory In the Philippines as In Cuba."

Bnth, Me., July 25. William J. Bryan

arrangements had been made for a re
ception here, but a crowd of a thous

thur Sewall, by Mr, Bryan,
Senator Carmack also spoke briefly.

crowd warmly greeted Mr. Bryan and
his party when they arrived here this

The Democratic candidate for gover
nor, Samuel W, Gould, was the first
speaker, Charles H. Hamlin, of Bos
ton, followed and then Senator Car
mack, of Tennessee, spoke briefly. Lat
er Mr. Bryan came to city hall and
was given a tremendous ovation. In
his address he referred to the leading
Issues which the voters of Maine
should consider between now and elec
tion day.
He said that Congressman Llttlefleld,
thinking that the Republican party
rod done wrong, along with Congress
man McCnll, of Massachusetts, had
voted against It on party measures.
Mr. McKlnley's last speech, he said,
was a confession that the high tariff
must be lowered.
The party left for Bangor In the af

TRADE CONFIDENCE
GROWS STRONGER
Agricultural Products Are in a
Promising Condition Coal Short
age Hampers Industries.
By nxclushe Wire from'Thc Associated Press. N
' New York, July 26. R. C?. Dun, &
Co.'s 'Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will say:
Each day brings the agricultural pro
ducts of the nation nearer maturity,
and as the possibility , of any serious
injury becomes smaller, the feeling of
conildence In fully sustained trade
grows stronger. Insufficient fuel Is the
one serious difficulty In the Iron and
steel industry, interruptions nnd de
lays from this cause becoming more
noticeable each day. Supplies of coal
are curtailed by the strike, although
coke ovens are making new records of
production. Shipments are retarded by
the car and motive power shortage. In
a market where there Is comparative
dullness deliveries carinot be made
promptly, the outlook for long con
tinued activity seems favorable, espe
cially as scarcity of fuel cannot con
tinue a factor indefinitely. All forms
of pig iron has sold far ahead and
there Is no evidence of overproduction
in the near future at least, Billets are
still somewhat unsettled by heavy Im
portations, yet domestic prices are
steady and further foreign arrivals aro
expected. A new week has brought out
more liberal orders for railway sup
plies and the structural mills have
taken contract deliveries still further
into next year, AH lines of finished
steel are in an exceptionally firm con
dition. There has been little need to
seek business, the big producers hav
ing a ready market In sight often be
fore the raw material is received.
Further advances are reported In spel
ter which has shown great strength
during the past two weeks, but other
minor metals tended toward weakness.
Footwear factories have returned to
almost full operation, contracts coming
forward freely from wholesalers at the
large cities, Quotations for cotton
goods are unchanged, with the tone
steady and ruw material in better de
mand. There was less activity In the
speculative markets for the leading
cereals, yet prices wero fairly well
maintained.
Failures for the week numbered 208
In the United States against 19S last
year, and 17 In Canada against 28 last
year.

MORE LIGHT ON THE
JOHNSTOWN HORROR
Engineer Marshall G. Moore Gives
Theories as to the Cause of
the Fatal Explosion.
By Exclusirc Wire from The Associated Press.
Johnstown, Pa., July 25. The cor
oner's inquest into the' Rolling Mill
mine disaster draws near 'a close. To
morrow will probably see the last of
thf t( stimony. Inspector Evans will be
called first and It Is expected that In
spector Ross will follow and give the
theory of the explosion held by the
mine inspectors.
The most Important testimony given
today was that of Superintendent
George T. Robinson and Mining Engi
neer Marshall G. Moore. Superlntend
qnt Robinson said the officials knew
there was gas In some parts of the
Klondike section for several weeks, but
every precaution was taken to prevent
accident. The men were enjoined to
use safety lamps and dangerous signals
were properly placed. In his opinion
the explosion took pluce In Room No. 2,
Sixth Right heading. It was at this
point that a miner was found with his.
head blown off.
"To the best of my knowledge,"
said Superintendent Robinson, "bodies
wore found as follows:
"Two in second and third Right and
Retalllck. who have since died; 11 In
fourth Right, 33 In sixth Right, 30
dead and 9 alive In fourth Right, 4 in
seventh Right, the balance In entries
from seventh Right heading up to en
trance to Klondike, scattered all
along."
In reply to a direct question as to
the cause of the explosion, Engineer
Moore said:
"My theory of the cause of the ex
plosion is that some one on the sixth
heading side of the fall was working
with a naked light and lit the gas. The
safeties were not blown where found;
they had been put there before the ex
plosion. I believe that the gas on this
fall was not at Its most explosive point,
which caused the largest amount of
carbonic oxide gas that suffocated the
men so quickly."
Seven witnesses were examined to
day. An immense amount of testimony
has been taken, and It cannot be stat
ed when a verdict will be rendered.

CONFERENCE HELD.

Willlamsport Express Will Resume
Traffic on Thursday President
Mitchell Again at Headquarters.
He Holds That There Has Been No
Change in the Strike Situation,
Will Seek Relief for the West" Vir
ginians, v
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Philadelphia, July 25. An Important
conference took place today' between
President George F. Baer, of the Read-
Ing and Jersey Centrul; R. C. Luther,
so ne nil superintendent of the Phlla
delphla and Reading Coal and Iron
company, and W. J. Richards, general
superintendent of the Lehigh and
Wllkes-Burrc Coal company, which 'is
controlled by the Centrul Railroad of '
New Jersey. None of them would give
out any Information, but the Impres
sion prevails In coal circles that a moVe
is being planned which will result In
the starting up of a number of collier
ies within the next two weeks.
Immediately following 'the conference
it was announced that the midnight
express for Willlamsport,' which was
taken off when the strike was declared
and about which there was so much
criticism, would resume running ou
Thursday.
At Wilkes-Barre.
Wilkcs-Barre, July -25. President
Mitchell returned to strike headquar
ters In this city this evening. After re
ceiving the congratulations of the local
officers of the miners' union, hn went
to his office, where a heavy 'mail
awaited him. After .supper Mr. Mitch- ,
ell was waited on by a committee from
the Wllkes-Barre Mercantile associa
tion, who requested him to use hls In
fluence to have all the relief provisions
for the strikers in the Wyoming, region
purchased from home merchants.
Mr. Mitchell said he would call the
attention of those' entrusted with the
work of relief to the matter. It Is said
President Mitchell and the district
presidents will hold a meeting tomor
row to discuss some definite relief plan
which will be made universal through
the strike region. As It Is now, every
district has a plan of Its own.
To the Associated Press correspond
ent Mr. M.tchell said there was no
change In tho situation In the anthra
cite region. The strikers were remain
ing firm and very confident of victory.
As regurds the situation In West
Virginia, President Mitchell said the
courts would be appealed to through
habeas corpus proceedings to secure
the Mease of the organizers of tho
miners' union sentenced to jail for
contempt. If their liberty cannot be
secured through the courts then tho
higher authorities will be asked to par
don the men. The chief of the United
Mine Workers said the notices posted
by the coal operators In the Kanaw
ha and New River fields In West Vir
ginia, stating that all mines will re
sume operations on the 28th instant
and that all employes not reporting for
work on that date will be discharged,
will have no effect on the strikers.
"That Is nil' old trick of the operators,"
continued Mr. Mitchell, "the.. miners of
West Virginia are battling for a Just
cause 'and justice demands that they
be granted the concessions asked for." '
Mr. Mitchell's stay at headquarters
will probably continue now until the
end of the strike.
