The bat- Fin for the heavy weight champion . of the world tonight at Mechan p iTta-n between the champion, J'fTrir. and Jim Corbett. ended In t t th round with a clean knockout J t:. f .r J.-:lrl?.

In contrast r .fx hi.i work In the Ruhlln and Fltz :,.;i!!'n fights Jeffries put up a far f. vcrer ficht and showed that the iItlms made for his superior speed .if! shiftiness were well founded. In fact Orbett. acknowledged superior of he.ivy weights In the boxing art. .lid not make so good a fhowing , ctn.-t Jeffrls as Fitzsimmons did. He .lid not draw any blood from the f..ir.:pinn. r.or did he manifestly dis tress him with any of the blows that he landed on the mouth and nos.. ln the first four rounds Corbett trade a very poor showing, as he i Mm hed repeatedly and seemed unable to keep Jeffries rough tactics. Jef Iiie only adopted about half his t!??al crouch, and in this way he was :M to land with punishing power r. rcatedly on Corbett's wind, despite Vrbetts cleverness In blocking swings mvI in ducking to escape right and left svinrr to the head. In the fifth round vrh.tt began to show slims of the; punishment he received. He was too j-'- w after the clinch to escape a ter tiMe left Mow dirrctly over the belt. V.. h dropped him to the carpet all , .uMd up and his face, writhing trtn the force of the savage punlsh : T.t. Hissing on one knee, he looked --'U-y at Timekeeper Harding, and u; the rount of nine sounded he arose : i -i resumed fighting. Jeffries tried t end the battle, but Corbett skilfully M Mm off. Anln in the sixth Corbett went down blow en the mouth and tonkjand Frank Smith of Los Angeles, end- ?-.- rount of njne seconds. Again the ' c save! him. In the seventh. Cor l tt had evidently received some point ers from Tommy Ryan, for he adopted f . .v nets, using very cleverly his l-'fl shoulder to bio k Jeffries rushes. -ih getting in stiff upper cuts and p Irtish"- in the face of clinches. The eighth was Corbett's best round :.r;-I he showed cleverness In evading p'ir.l-hes. end his swiftness In deliver ing blows on Jeffries face aroused the hrr.'s of his admirers that he might go th- limit. The ninth, however, showed that thse hpes were false. Corbett re r !!y linded with right and left on J rTris mouth, but though the cham rsr spat blood he was not distressed 'r ; w moment and landed both left an! t ;ht just over Corbett's belt so tht th latter went to his, corner tired ;: ! gro-y. In the tenth It was evident that Jef tr' meant to settle matters, for he tt:.." l his man all around the ring. r! -hen near Corbett's own corner ; i-! l- l a left hand punch that brought . rh tt to his knees. It was the h- tvi'st blow as well as the cleanest t-. t Jeffries had delivered, and from in-- r-xpression on Corbett's face It was r-vM-nt he could r.ot last many sec n I. Ha made a game effort to pro-1-mg the fight by clinching, but Jef- frte threw him off as though he were a child, and then landed with the left rcafn on his wind, brinfrlng'hlm down In a heap. It was so evident that Cor btt could make no showing, even thousrh he should rise, thai; Tommy Ryan, after the timekeeper had count ed five, threw up the sponge nnd the r'f"ree gave the fight to Jeffries. For several minutes after he fell r . rbett lay helpless. Then his seconds !:.!ei him Into a chair an 1 he vomited the effects of the blow. This re ' -e-l him a .trifle. He was helped to Ms f"t and Jeff shook hands with Mm nr.d congratulated him on the ood fho.rt he had made. A Orbett stagirered across the ring -) wrni aown tne stairs, supportr!

It was one of the cleanest and best of fight between biff men cer seen In this city, but the verdict of all who saw It was that there Is no m:m In the ring that can face Champion Jeffries with the slightest chanre of success.

Mechanics pa vilion, as arranged for a fight holds g. CCO persons, but at least 3.0C0 more were wedged Into the gallery and ad- dltior.al seats had been built at the rear hall to accommodate the press- ing demand for seats.

Many sports who were very late paid as high as $40 for box scats, and no seats were sold today without premiums. Mechanics pavilion, where the right was held. Is a huge barn-like structure which occupies half a block in Larkln street, facing the city hall. The two ends have been closed in wun ooaras. leaving an enormous hall with a lofty celling. In the center of this hall, raised about six feet from the floor, was- a 24-foot ring. Above were ar ranged ln the form of a square twelve powerful electric lights that certainly discounted the fierce light that beats uponfthe throne. By lowering the lights In other rarts of the house thl threw the ring into as great promi nence as a stage under the most pow erful calcium. In the first row about the ring were seats for the working press and tele graph operators, while immediately back of those were box seats in which were well known sports. Back of these ' . .1 ri carl seats crowded with spectators, while two huge galleries were black with local light-goers, who had formed long lines as early as C o'clock. This gal lery furnished most of the entertain ment of the evening, as it was full of young fellows front "Tar Flat" and "Telegraph Hill." who Joshed each other and made sport of every happen ing In the ring. The first preliminary of six rounds, between Henry Sheldon of San Rafael cd in a dra. ' The second preliminary. Jerry Fair banks and Jack Evans, ended In the second round In a clean knock-out for Rvans. Evans was half a head shorter than his antagonist. . At Jeffries entered the ring. A moment later he was followed by Cor bett in a long bath robe. Jeffries was stripped for the fight and was brown er and more rugged than when he fought Fitzsimmons. Corbett appeared rale and nervous. Jeffries was fol lowed by his seconds. Delaney and Fitzsimmons and Jack Jeffries. Cor bett was followed by Tommy Ryan, Tom Corbett. Sam Berger and Yank Kenny. Among those who charTenged the wlnnter were Jack Johnson and Jack Monroe. Betting on the fight was slow from the outset and even at the ringside the veteran sports showed no Inclination to put up any coin on the short end. AH day at Harry Corbett's pool-room small bets wore made by pickers at odds of 9 to 5. No large bets were made arid the odds did not fluctuate all day. There was a rumor late today that Corbett money was coming In large wads, but Sandy Griswold. of Omaha, who made the rounds of all the iol-roons In the city, declared the report without foundation. The most of the betting was on Corbett's lasting ten rounds. This was a favorite gamble among local sports, but none cared to wager much money even on this proposition. Of course local feel ing was strong for Corbett, as he has always leen a favorite, but there were many who argued that no amount of careful training can rejuvenate a man who has gone his pretty swift pace for ten years, and they cited the case of Feter Jackson, who went up against Jeffries In this pavilion, and though to outward appearances was in fine form, lasted only one round and a half. Jeffries has never been popular In San Francisco, largely because of hl3 sullen temper and reticence, but those who clo not like him concede that he was never in better condition than today. Harbin Springs cleared out his'system and he looked and acted in his last exercise bouts like John L. Sullivan dn his prjme. Joe Harding, timekeeper of the fight. Is an, old hand of Rounds at the business In the early 70's he liv ed in N'v Zealand and there became Interested in the manly art. He was called on to hold the watch and offi ciated In such an able manner as to win the reputation of being the most expert man in the southern hemis phere. He has officiated before all the local clubs for many years past. ToRaltlla Detail Round 1. Time, 9:30. Jeffries started forcing Corbett around the ring with his powerful left. He missed a tre mendous left and Corbett saved him self by clinching, but in a rally that followed Jeffries landed a right over Corbett's heart and followed this with a left in the wind. As soon, as Jeffries was clear from the clinch he followed his man and landed a right over the heart, which was a light blow. Jef fries put a powerful left hand blow on the side of Corbett's head. In a clinch ( just before time was called Corbett tried to iana a snort arm joit on Jer fries' head, but the champion cleverly ducked and avoided it. It was Jeffries' round and he showed speed and agili ty that he has never displayed before. Round 2. Jeffries forced his left giove into corneii s nccK ana corDen j made a protest, which the referee Ig nored, in a Dreaxaway jennes lanaeu a half arm left on Corbett's neck. To avoid a left swing Corbett rushed In iflnd flinched. After that breakaway - - : LvInd when time was called Corbett (Continued on second page.) EASY WAY OUT 1 Warden of Georgia Peniten . tiary Expected to Resign Atlanta. Aug. 14. Warden J. T. Alla good. who whipped Mamie De Chris, the diamond queen, at the state con vict farm, may resign before the pri son commission makes its report. Gov. Terrell refuses to discuss the matter further until the commission makes Its report, but wants Allagood to resign, and It is likely the . commission will defer to him even though it favors Allagood. It is expected on this ac count, and also to save the commis sion embarrassment, that Allagood will probably resign. While the peo ple of the state do not believe that Allagood made improper proposals to the woman, they condemn him and Dr. Adams for the whipping and the pri son commission for its indifference. A monster petition has been drawn up in Milledgcvllle by Recorder Park Gibson, for the unconditional pardon of Mamie De Chris. A deputation of prominent citizens will present the pe tition In person to the governor. An other petition of similar nature has been signed by the people of southern Alabama and sent to Governor Terrell. The commission is now considering evi dence and will make its report in a day or two. THORN IN THE SIDE Typographical Union to Do Missionary Work in Philadelphia Washington, Aug. 14. At today's ses sion of the forty-ninth annual conven tion of the International Typographi cal Union tho delegates voted $2,500 to the local union of Philadelphia, to be used In "unionizing" the printers there. A conditional appropriation of 52,500 additional was also voted. Philadel phia up to date has proved a thorn in the side of the typographical union. The convention also directed the offi cial monthly publication of wages scales in the union throughout the country. INSURGENT ACTIVITY 3 Macedonians Are Making a Stir About Monastir Constantinople. Aug. 14. A settle ment of the differences arising be tween the porte and Russia over the assassination of the Russian consul at Monastir Is Imminent. Jate Monastir advices are that the Insurgents have blown up a railway bridge at the station of Ezisac, inter rupting train service. A number of slight encounters between revolution ists and government detachments have occurred In the vilayet of Monastir. The ambassadors of the various pow ers have demanded that the porte guarantee protection to the consuls and subjects of their respective coun tries at ?fonastir. The grand visier promised that effective measures should be adopted to this end. The Turkish troops which have been operating against ICrushevo, the Mace donian town which was held by the revolutionists, have relieved that place. Seven trated batallions have been concen - there. The insurgent force which held the town was said to num ber several thousand men. The Turk ish gendarme Halbn, who murdered M. Roskowski, the Russian consul at Monastlr, last Saturday, has been con victed and put to, death. An accom plice companion was " sentenced to death and a third gendarme was sen tenced to serve fifteen years imprison luer.t at hard labor. Consular advices from Monastir and fcniomca endorse the belief that any overt movement in those towns on the part of the revolutioynry. committees will lead to a massacre of the Bul garians by the Mussulmans. Dispatches received by the porte give particulars of a number of encounters with the Insurgents. The latter at tacked the village of Gumenje. throw ing bombs ln it. Official dispatches say that they were repulsed. me Mussulmans ln the disturbed area are persistently demanding arms and ammunition to protect themselves against the Christians. This is con sidered a dangerous factor in the situa tion. : Chrlatlaas 3Saard Belgrade. Aug. 14. Several thousand Albanians have left Debar to reinforce the Turkish troops who have recap tured and are in possession of Kru- sheve. The Turks at Krusheve have massa cred the whole Christian population. while ' the Mohammedans in-the sur rounding villages have surrendered their arms to the Bulgarians. Bui garian bands have blown up another bridge on the Sa'.onica-Monastir rail way. They have also ! attacked Ga mendja, killing several! villagers. A great fight Is now proceeding near the village of Keupsal. MOB LAW IS ANARCHY A Delaware Judge Discusses the Subject Before the Chautauqua Assembly Chautauqua, N. Y., Aug. 14. Before the Chautauqua assembly today Chief Justice Charles B. Lore, of the supreme court of Delaware, delivered an address which sets forth the attitude of the courts of Delaware on ; the subjeot of lynching. The chief justice said in part "With us government means obedi ence to law. Lawlessness means an archy. Mob law is anarchy, pure and simple. Anarchy is the rock upon which all ancient republics have ul timately been wrecked," and Is today one of the most threatening evils . of our republic. "Strangely enough, just at this pe- riodof our national development, when by unique victories over oppression, the United States has a dominant place among the nations of ,the earth, and a time when our goverment seems to be most firmly rooted In public conff dence, we have been disgraced by some of the most revolting and brutal exhi bitions of mob violence recorded In history." A BALTIMORE VIEW Increasing Significance of the Railroad Amalgamation Baltimore, Aug. 14. The Rock Island-Seaboard deal is regarded with in creasing significance ln local financial circles. In quarters heretofore un friendly to the Seaboard interests it is conceded to have been a great stroke for that property. It is believed that the traffic of the Seaboard will be greatly augmented when the physical connections now being made are fin ished. The Seaboard will reach Bir mingham about January 1. and will there meet the 'Frisco system, with which it is now allied through the Sea board deal. Through freight and pas senger service, will, it is expected, be Inaugurated. An Interesting rumor in connection with the deal is that the al liance was formed through the grant ing of a voice ln the . voting trust of the Seaboard to the Rock Island and that there has been no extensive sale of securities by the principal owners of the Seaboard.

Eight hundred vet erans of the army of the Philippines enthusiastically celebrated yesterday, the anniversary of the occupation of Manila by the joint land and naval forces of the United States, which oc curred August 13, 189S. one day after the signing of the peace protocol at Washington. Obsolete ' uniforms were resurrected and there was a parade in the streets, in --which delegates from the southern ; islands, "clad in blue shirts and kahija, participated. This was followed by a banquet. Commis sioner Smith, the orator of the day, stirringly reviewed the history of the insurrection and the development of the present organization. Two-thirds of the veterans are now enrolled in the civil administration. The Philippines commission will ap propriate $873,000 for permanent im provements, including $312,000 for the completion of the coast guard cutters in course of construction at Shanghai, and the improvement of the insular navy yard at Manila, SKIPPED IN THE DARK - . $Z Climate "of Vicksburg Un healthy for Labor Or ganizers New Orleans, Aug. 14. James Leon ard, the organizer of the National Fed eration of Labor, who was driven out of Vicksburg, Miss., by a mass meet ing of citizens for organizing negro unions and precipitating a strike, has removed here and declares his pur pose of. taking the matter before the United States court. Leonard- says that he was waited upon by a commit tee of three who ordered him to leave, informing him that a hundred armed men were in the next street waiting to kill him. He drove at once to the de pot. A delegation of union men in sisted on his not leaving, and he drove back to his boarding- house. He asked for the protection of the mayor, who refused to give it and advised him to leave town at once if he hoped to es cape alive. Leonard accordingly enter ed a closed carriage and drove ten miles out of town . to the station at Newman, where he took the train. Leonard has been at work in Vicks burg about two months . and has or ganized a central trade labor council and unions of the blacksmiths, bar tenders, street car men, car workers and others. When he began organiz ing the negroes and started a strike it was found impossible to hold the Vicksburgers in line. During his stay in Vicksburg Leon ard had success in arousing union sen timent among the working men. This was shown in the action of a number of police who refused to ride in street cars operated by non-union labor. They were removed by the chief of police, but were reinstated by Mayor Tro bridge. Today the council approved the action of the chief of police and censured tbe mayor for treating with the mutinous officials. FIGHT ON SALOONS Election Has Been Ordered in Scotland Neck September Scotland Keck, N. C, Aug. 14. Spe cial. Through the work of the Anti- Saloon League here nearly half the voters of the town signed a petition to the town commissioners asking an election on the question of prohibition. The commissioners have accordingly ordered an election on September 15th. The moral forces of the town are thor oughly aroused and wrill make a strong fight for prohibition. The prohibition advocates claim that they will carry the election, having made careful cal culation before opening the fight. Pa pers were sent out from a meeting or the Anti-Saloon League with the ques tion: "Which do you think is more ex pedient to make an effort for prohibi tion or dispensary? A majority of the signers of those papers said prohibi tion and so the league said the fight should be made for prohibition. In asmuch as nearly half the voters sign ed the petition for the election the in dications, are quite favorable to those who are fighting for prohibition. One good and helpful influence in the con test is the organization of the women of the town. They held their first meeting in the lecture room of the Bap tist .church yesterday and organized I. ... . V. A t Commanding Abolished Institution Harris Outlawed Charlotte N. C, Aug 14. Special. Two Mecklenburg magistrates this morning issued an official proclamation outlawing William Harris, who escaped last week ifrom the penitentiary while serving a! thirty-year term. The proclamation calls on al good citizens to take Harris dead or alive, and the proclamation, together with the reward c.Tcred today by the governor, will probably hiring the fugitive desperado to justice.

The mob went to Thompson's house, and. took him out, hanging both. . - ACCOUNTS TANGLED ! $ . A New Jersey Bank Forced to Close Its Doors Washington, Aug. 14. The Naveslnk National Bank of Red Bank, N. J. was closed tonight by direction of the deputy and acting comptroller of the currency. The bank examination on the 27thuof July disclosed a discrepancy between", jthe individual and general ledgers o 510,000, a falsification of the last report of condition to the comp troller ofj the currency and numerous false entries and erasures on the books. A re-examination was ordered, and Examiner Mason, who was sent to the bank fori that purpose, discovered in creased shortages and irregularities to such an fextent as to render the bank insolvent A new president, cashier and board of directors were elected and an effort was made by the latter to put sufficient cash into the bank to restore its capital and solvency. With the assistance of a correspondent bank it was thought that this effort would be successful, until advice was receiv ed at the comptroller's office tonight to the contrary, coupled with a state ment that nothing remained to be done but to close the bank doors. Life Term Verdict in Cynthiana, Ky., Aug. 14. The Jury in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, charged with the assassination of James j B. Marcum at Jackson, Ky., returned a verdict of guilty this morn ing and fixed the punishment of each at life imprisonment. The verdict was returned at a time when there was but few Ters6ns in the court house. The only attorney present was County .At torney Webster. Jett received the ver dict with comparative indifference and calmness. White, who has been under a severe strain during the trial, flushed up and his eyes filled with tears. At torney Golden, for the defense, stated that a motion for a new trial would be made ks soon as possible. The Ver dict occasioned little surprise. The only question Which caused the delay, it is said, was whether to make the pun ishment ieath or life imprisonment. The case 1 has been on trial almost three weeks,, having been begun July 27. At the first trial at Jackson the Jury disagreed. It is believed that the verdict today was a compromise with a juror opposed to capital punishment. The friends of Capt. B. J. Ewen and other witnesses for the commonwealth, who havp suffered greatly and were living in jfear of their lives, are greatly relieved, j There." have been twenty-seven lives lost within the past two years in the Hargis-Cockrill feud in Breathitt coun ty, and this is the first conviction. No arrests or indictments had been made until last May when troops were or dered to Jackson to protect the grand Jury. Jett is still under indictment, charged with killing Town Marshal Cockrill. Jett said last night that the fope had not been made with which to hang him, but he made no remarks to day when the verdict was rendered. Winchester. Ky.. Aug. 14.
