!

Fitz's Superior Skill and Seemed Cer
tain of Defeat, Until He Delivered
the Chance Blows.
San Francisco, July 2. After
fighting a battle of eight rounds
that was fraught with 'brilliant and
courageous work, Hubert Fitzsiiumons
last night forfeited his last claim upon
the heavy-weight championship. He
was knocked to the floor by Jeffries
and counted out, alter he had so badly
punished the champion that it was a
foregone conc lusion among the specta
tors that the Cornlshman must win.
Bleeding from a number of gashe9 In
the face, apparently weakening, and
clearly unable to cope with Fltzsim
ruons' superior skill, Jeffries delivered
two lucky punches as Fitz paused in
his fighting to speak to hiui, and
turned the tide.
Fltzsininions nil been lighting at a
furious put. cool and deliberate and
choppint the champion to pieces with
the terrific rights anil lefts that have
made him famous. In the eighth round,
and under a series of hot exchanges.
Kltzslmnions paused with his guard
down and spoke to the champion. The
lattcr's reply consisted of the two ter
rific blows that brought hack to him
the fleeting championship and forever
removed the veteran l-'ltz.simwms from
the fistic arena. Fitzsinitnons took his'
defeat with amazing good cheer, lluj
walked to the center of the ling. and.
raising his hand, addressed the multi-j
tude. sny'.re-: I
"The best man lias won. Had l
beaten Jeffries tonight I would have
conceded him the championship and1
retired tor. . r. I retire just the same j
now. but without haing accomplished'
my ambition. I am satisfied."
"You are the must dangerous nian
alive." s;tM Jeffries in return, "and 1
consider myself lucky to have won
when I did."

of Fitz's left jabs. Fitz then put Jeff's
head back with a left jab and started

from his nose, mouth and cheek, he

while Jeffries was bloody and present

Accusation of Newspaper Editor.
Causes Grtat Excitement
Sa Francisco. July 28. The result
of the championship battle fought here
Friday eight between James Jeffries
and Robert Fltislmmons Is prolific of
widespread discussion. The story clr-
cuiated to the effect that the fight was
a prearranged affair has enraged the
champion and frenzied Fitzslmmons to
i the point of bursting Into tears and
fainting away. If any proof of a fake
can be offered, says Fitzslmmons, he
will forfeit his winnings and his last
dollar In the world.
When Jeffries was seen, his face was
a sight. His eyes were puffed and dis
colored, and his cheek cut and bruised.
"Do I look like a fake!" he facetiously
remarked, as he looked at himself In
a glass. "If I was going to be a party
to a fake, I would not have stopped all
those blows with this face of mine.
Anybody who says that fight was
crooked is a liar, and they can break
me if they can bring a bit of evidence
If there had been a fake, I would have
been the man to hit the floor, for I was
on the long end of the betting."
Those who declare that the outcome
of the fight was prearranged, base
their allegation principally on the fact
that Fitz, after waging a masterful and
telling battle, dropped his guard, leav
ing an opening which Jeffries took ad
vantage of. It Is also said that Mayor
Schmltz received a letter from a news
paper editor before the fight took place
that it was arranged that Fitzslmmons
should be knocked out in the eighth
round.

tickets was $:ilS0; 70 per cent, to

ELEVATED TRAINS CRASH
Strange Accident In Which a Number
of Persons Were Injured.
New York, July 2'J.-A remarkable
collision occtired yesterday between
two trains of the Hrooklyn Klevated
Railroad on Adams street, which re
sulted in the derailing of six cars, the
wrecking of two, and the injury of n
number of persons, at least two of them
fatally. The accident occurred on a
curve and Is unique In the history of
railroading, ns the colliding trains
were bound In opposite directions on
parallel tracks, and crashed together
because of the excessive lean to the
left acquired by the Inbound train.
There was not enough room between
the tracks to allow of this.
The train Inbound was crowded with
passengers. A car in this train struck
a car in t'i" train outbound nnd rip
ped off t! side of a car following.
Four cars wore derailed two on. each
train, an :'. the trucks hung over the
edge of th Novated structure.
Oottfr: .. ::oore and Daniel Spellman
who wer : iding on the platform of
the Bath leach train, were thrown be
tween the cars. They hung there until
fsctied. , Charles Phattuck, motorman
t;f the Hath Reach train, was arrested.
He states that so far as he could see
the signals for his train, they were set
properly, and his statement is borne
out by Samuel Norman, the signalman
In the tower. Many of the Injured
were taken from the elevated structure
by firemen. Traffic was delayed for
some time.

as to avoid drawing the lire of the
strikers.

Rocket Brook colliery In Carbondale
yesterday, but they came around at
noon, when the pickets had dispersed,
an(j started the washery going. Car
penters at the Coal Brook and North
west collieries in Carbondaie were also
turned back. This activity on the part
of the strikers is the result of a meet

WANT FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Letter It An Answer to Review of
Smith's Case, and Makes Charges
of Murder, Robbery and Torture
Against Officers and Men On Islands.
Lake George, N. T., July 28. At a
meeting of representative antl-lmper-Ullsts
held In New York city last
spring a committee was appointed to
Investigate army conditions in the
Philippines. That committee has since
then been prosecuting its Inquiries.
President Roosevelt's recent review of
the court martial of General Jacob H.
Smith seemed to the committee to de
mand some reply, and at a meeting
Just held at Lake George an open let
ter to the president was adopted. The
letter was signed by Charles Francis
Adams, chairman; Oarl Schurz, Edwin
Burrltt Smith. Moorefleld Storey and
Herbert Welsh. It says:
"We desire to express the great
gratification afforded us by your 're
view' of the 14th Inst, as commander-in-chief,
of the findings of the court
martial In the case of General Jacob
H. Smith. The level here reached Is
lofty, and in healthy contrast with that
spirit, far Joo prevalent, which seeks
excuse, if not Justification, for the ex
cesses of the present, in every In
stance of inhumanity which can possl-1
history, or from the regrettable rec-'
ords of our Indian warfare. !
"While thus, however, expressing
nttp ennuo it rililf (f n t Inn WA wish tnOflt
respectfully to call your attention to ; Lancaster county, l'a., was struck by
certain conclusions which we have In' Itehtnlng yesterday and totally de

demoralization of the officers and sol-1
filers of our army in the Philippines, j
including all branches of the service
and all grades of rank, was far more
general than might be Inferred from
your review of the court martial find
ings in the case of General Smith. The
essential facts charged In this case,
we believe we have reason to say,
were rather notorious than excep- j
tional. Demoralizing Influences, very j
prejudicial to any high standard of
military morals, were, under the cir
cumstances, inevitable. This led to j
lamentable results, calling for the firm
hand and stern correction found, and
most fortunately applied. In your or
ders of April 13th and July 14th."
The letter then discusses the "kill
and burn" order and says: "As the not
unnatural result of military operations
so inspired, an official report indicates
that out of a total population In a sin
gle district of 300,000, not less than
100,000 perished."
The letter then alludes to the water
cure, saying that the first reports of
Its practice met with denials, while
evidence before the senate Philippine
committee proved conclusively that
this and other forms of torture had
been used.
The letter concludes: "We find our
selves compelled to take Issue with
you on one Important point. In your
'review' of July 14 you say 'almost uni
versally the higher officers have so
borne themselves as to supply the ne
cessary check over acts of an improp
er character by their subordinates.'
We. on the contrary, have found our
selves compelled to the belief that the
acts referred to were far more gen
eral, the demoralization more all-pervasive.
We hold oudselves ready to
direct your attention to concrete enses.
the Investigation of which would
demonstrate the following criminal
acts, contrary to all recognized rules
and images of war, on the part of offi
cers and soldiers of the United States:
"1 Kidnapping and murder, under
circumstances of aggrevated brutality.
"2 Robbery.
"3 Torture, both of men and wom
en, and rape of the latter.
"4 The Infliction of death on other
parties, on the strength of evidence
elicited through torture.'"

WU SENDS FAREWELL GIFTS
Costly Fans, Curios and Mrs. Wu'i
Slippers As Souvenirs.
Washington, July 28. The Chinese
minister, Wu Ting Fang, is beginning
to pack his household goods prepara
tory to yielding the legation to his suc
cessor. Sir Liang, who will arrive next
month In the suite of Prince Chen.
Minister Wu says that If he responded
to all the requests for souvenirs which
be Is now receiving from admirers all
over the country he would not have
much to pack, and If Mme. Wu sent'
as many slippers to museums and li
braries as have been asked for she .
would go back to China barefooted.
She, at the minister's request, brought
with her last year from China a large
collection of rare porcelains, tapes
tries and old Ivory, and these he baa
presented to friends with true Oriental
generosity.
The old garments of Mme. Wu have
been distributed as far as they would
go, and even some of hen best finery
has been offered as a sacrifice to the
curio collector. The minister, also,
has distributed his headgear and silken
coats with great prodigality.
There ls scarcely a woman In Wash
ington to whom he owed debts of bos
pltalltv that has not received a costly
fan, n Ivory curio or bolts of silk for
a g"v-n. Minister Wu has also sent
some rare gifts to the officials with
whom he came In contact and to other
friends In every part of the country.

order occurred. At the conclusion of
the meeting, which was not largely at
tended, owing to the storm which pre
vailed, the 'crowd dispersed quietly.
