He wuh never ut any time in serious

from the ninth round.
Jeffries fought from a crouching at
titude that was hard to get at. lie
hold his head low, his hack was bent
down and his left arm extended. He
kept jabbing away with the left and
found no trouble in landing it. It was
there that his suporiorrrcaoh told. That
giant arm served as a sort of human
fender to ward oil' dunger.
The Assoeiuted press thus vividlj de

The committee recommended that

Detroit, Mich., .June S. The dollar-a-barrel
war revenue tax on beer was
the subject of considerable adverse
discussion in the first day's session of
tlie thirty-ninth annual convention of
the United States llrewers' association.
It appears from tlie report of the board
of trustees that the trade has been
somewhat demoralized by the fact that
some brewers add tho entire tax to
the price of their beer, while others
add only a fraction of the tax. The
report of the publication committee
asserted that tho army canteen had ac
complished more for the morals and
discipline of tlie army than all other
agencies combined. Tlie annual report
of the vigilance committee said:
Prohibition continues to decline very rapidly;
tho number of Its advocates crows smaller every
year; tho urituments in Its favor havo assumed
a ileureo of puerility which almost precludes
their serious discussion by men of uveniuo ln

Kunsus City, Mo., June p.-Despite
the drizzling ruin which at times
swelled into a downpour, the .Modern
Woodmen of America gave a parade
yesterday which wus a credit to tho
order and to lumsns City. Nearly
10,000 men were in their places armed
with umbrellas, and the rain could not
dampen their ardot. The umbrellas
wore kept raised during most of tho
march. Tlio firemen marched without
umbrellas or rubber coats, in their best
uniforms. Most of tho women wore in
closed carriages. Tlie parade was one of
tho largest, if not the very largest, ever
seen here. One end had disappeared
in the distance long before the other
came in view. It was one hour and
ten minutes passing Eleventh and
Grand avenue. There were 2!J bands
in tho line, dozens of Forester teams,
scores of carriages and hundreds of
men.
The following ofllccrs were elected:

THEY FAVOR SAN FRANCISCO.

Kansas City, Mo., June S). A Star
special from Hong Kong sajs: "Peti
tions signed by nine-tenths of tho of
ficers and men of tho Twentieth Kan
sas regiment, urging muster out and
discharge from the service! in San
Francisco, have been forwarded to Sen
ator Maker."
When told of tho decision of the Kan
sas regiment as cabled from Hong
Kong by the Star's correspondent in
Manila, John A, Urown, chairman of
the committee of 'M appointed by tho
mayors of the two Kansas Citys, said
it would be useless to try now to bring
tlio regiment here. L. M. Jones, secre
tary of the committee on finance, and
Mr. Urown, have interviewed the rail
wnys with a view to transporting the
regiment here us a body after muster
out in San Francisco. Both are of the
opinion that this is out of the question.
Even if a S10 rate were secured, which
is extremely improbable, tho expense
would bo 810,000 for transportation
alone, ltcsidcs, tho regiment would
come without arms or equipment, and
many of the men would ljiave tho train
long before it reached Kansas City. So
the idea of transporting tho regiment
to Kansas City as a body after muster
out is out of question.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
Treasury Department OIIU'IiiIh Mulio n Ito
port on tlio Congressional "War Appro
priation Mado to tlio President.
Washington, Juno 0. Hut little of
the 50,000,000 appropriated by congress
before tho war with Spain and made
available until July next will remain
in the treasury on that date. As a mat
ter of fact, the allotments made by the
president exceed that sum by S5S,'J10.00,
but as the war department has a lit
tle more than SU, 000, 000 of the amount
placed at its disposal still on hand, it
is apparent that no deficiency will
be created. Other appropriations wore
made by congress for tho army and
navy during the war with Spain,
but it was found necessary to utilize
the 550.000,000. Tho war was primarily
a naval struggle, and as the navy was
compelled immediately after tho de
struction of the Maine to get in readi
ness for battle on tho sea and to block
ade Cuba, most of t-he money appropri
ated for preparation was spent by it.
Tho allotments made by the president
for the navy department amounted to
S:il.0bb.5!Ul.U0, and those for tho war
department S1S.01hVW7.hS, a total of
S50,05&,'Jlti.OO, or S5S,'J10.00 more than
tho appropriation.

Train, Loaded ivltb KxcurftlnnlfltH, Left
thn Track lit Griuidvlcnv, -Mo.
Kansas City, Mo., June 10. With a
driving rainstorm, accompaned by
deep peals of thunder and blinding
flashes of lightning to add to the ter
rors of a railroad wreck, passenger
train No. 4 of the Kunsus City, Pitts
burg it (liilf railroad rolled oil' the
track three miles south of (Jrnndviow,
Mo., Thursday night. Although many
people were injured, and some of them
seriously so, it is not expected that a
deatli will result from the accident, as
Mrs. 12. 15. Chandler, who lives on a
farm near Helton, Mo., and J. I. K.
Crawford, of Droxel, Mo., who received
the most serious injuries, and who
are now in a hospital in this oity,
are reported to bo resting easily,
with good chances for recovery. There
aro seven others in tlio hospital who
were taken from tho wrecked train,
but their cases aro not thought to be
dangerous. In addition to these more
than !10 were bruised and sustained
shocks, but all had been able to go to
their homes last night. Tlie cause of
the wreck is not understood, even by
the railroad men who have examined
the .surroundings carefully. Tlio two
theories advanced aro that the disaster
was the result of a spreading of the rails,
the roadbed having become soft during
the hard and continuous rain, or that
one of tho trucks broke. It is considered
quite probable that tlie breaking of a
truck caused thollangosof the wheels of
one car to out the spikes, thus allowing
the rails to be forced apart. Orders
had been received to run slow and the
train was malting about 'JO miles an
hour. Suddenly the combination bag
gage and express car left the track and
dragged the smoker, chair and sleeper
after it, that portion of the train run
ning along the ties for about 45 rods
when all four toppled over tho embank
ment and turned bottom up on the
ground below. Tlie overturning of tho
cars broke tho air connection with the
engine, automatically setting tlio
brakes and bringing the engine to a
standstill. Tho forward trucks of the
rear sleeper loft tho rails, but tho car
did not turn over.

the revivalist was preaching, having
first been deputized as an ofllcer of the

Charles V. Funk is the name ot tho
