courageous work, Koheri i'ltzsimmons

was knocked to the floor by Jeffries
and counted out, after he had so badly
punished Hie i-l.anipioti that It was a
foregone conclusion among the specta
tors that the Cornishman must win.
Weeding from a number of gashes In
the facp, apparently weakening, and
clearly unable to cope with Fitzsim

two lucky punches as Kitz paused in

furious :ait, cool and deliberate and
choppinK the champion to pieces with
the terrific rir-hta and lefts that have
niado him famous. In the eighth round,
and under a series of hot exchanges,
Fitzsimnions paused with his guard
down and spoke to the champion. The
latter's reply ((insisted of the two ter
rific blows that brought back to him
the tleeiittK i hampionshlp and forever
removed the veteran Fitzsimmons from i
the fistic arena. Kitzsininions took his
defeat with amazing good cheer, llu
walked to t lu- center 1 the ling, anil,
raising his hand, addressed the multi
tude, savin:-: :
"The best man has won. Had I
beaten Jeffries tonight I would have
conceded him the championship and
retired Ion r. I retire just the same
now, but without having accomplish
my ambition. I am satisfied.'"
"You are the most dangerous man
alive," said Jeffries in return, "and 1
consider myself lucky to have won
when I did.''

ment. Then Jeffries led left for the

Cause Great Excitement
Sa Francisco, July 58. The result
of the championship battle fought here
Friday night between James Jeffries
and Robert Fttzsimmons is prolific of
widespread discussion. The story clr-
cuIatej to the tl(Tt.r, that the fight was
a prearranged affair has enraged the
champion and frenzied FHzslmmons to

will forfeit his winnings and bis la&t
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 Kitz. 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 bo knocked out in the eighth
round.

ELEVATED TRAINS CRASH
Strange Accident In Which a Number
of Persons Were Injured.
New York, July 2!. A remarkable
collision oecured yesterday between
two trains of the Brooklyn Elevated
Railroad on Adams street, which re
1 1 suited in the derailing of six cars, the
j wrecking of two, and the injury of a
number of persons, at least two of them
fatally. The accident occurred on a
curve and Is unique in the history of
railroading, as 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 tV,- train outbound and rip
ped off t! side of a car following.
Four cars vere derailed two on. each
train, an.', the trucks hung over the
edge of thc- Novated structure.
Gottfr! .. ; ioore and Daniel Spellman
who wer : iding on the platform of
the Bath lieach train, were thrown be
tween the ears. They hung there until
i scued. " Charles Shattuck, motorman
t:f the Bath Beach train, was arrested.
Ho 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.

LETTER TO ROOSEVELT
Anti-Imperialists Discuss Amy Con
ditions in Philippines.
(
WANT FURTHER INVESTIGATION
Letter Is 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. Y., July 28. At a
meeting of representative antl-lmper-lallsts
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 recqnt review ot
the court martial of General Jacob H.
Smith Beemed 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
Hurritt 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 possi
bly be exhumed either from colonial
history, or from the regrettable rec-1 Washington today on his summer va
ords of our Indian warfare. cation, and will not resume his duties
"While thus, however, expressing before September 1.
nnr sense of obligation, we wish moRt The barn of Jacob Zook, at Eden,
respectfully to call your attention to
certain conclusions which we have In
the course of our own inquiries found
ourselves compelled to reach. Coming
directly to the point, our Investiga
tions have led us to conclude that the
demoralization of the officers and sol
diers of our army In the Philippines,
including all branches of the service,
and all grades of rank, was far morn
general than might bo 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-
tional. Demoralizing Influences, very j
prejudicial to any high standard of i
military morals, were, under the clr-'
cumstances. inevitable. This led to
lamentable results, calling for the firm
hand nnd stern correction found, and
most fortunately applied, in your or
ders of April l.'th nnd 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, Baying 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 havo 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-per
vasive. We hold oudselvcs ready to
direct your attention to concrete cases,
the Investigation of which would
demonstrate the following criminal
acts, contrary to all recognized rules
and usages 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.'"

place to another. The pugilist got into
a quarrel with a colored constable
named Robert Washington. It is al

the Cooper Hospital here, where the
physicians say he may die.

ble Isaac Fowler, while In a fight, was
stabbed twice. His wounds, though
painful, are not considered serious,

ceived two cuts on the head and a
probably fatal stab wound in the left
lung. There were a number of other
persons In the fight hurt, but not
seriously.
Both sides claim t.e election, but
the returns from the three counties
indicate that Loudenslager has secured
a majority of the delegates. The adher
ents of both Loudenslager and Van
Sant are charging each other with
frauc and with bringing large numbers
of repeaters from Philadelphia. The
convention will he held at Woodbury
tomorrow.

WU SENDS FAREWELL GIFTS

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
he 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 has
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 Is scarcely a woman In Wash
ington to whom he owed debts of hos
pltalltv that has not received a costly
fan, 'n Ivory curio or bolts of silk for
a gown. 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.
