bo composed of the officials mentioned , ani
In addition one leading employer and four
labor representatives , the decisions of this
court to require a majority of six out ol
eight votes. The representatives of the
Htrlkem also selected four men to repre
sent them In the court of arbitration.
At a meeting of the employers' unloi
today It was unanimously resolved to reject
the suggestion to submit the dockers
grievance to n board of arbitration. .
The Employer's arnoclatlon has written a
long letter to Senator Hadiman Justifying
their refusal to arbitrate on the groiim
that the strikers are falling to receive for
eign aid and are becoming weaker In their
positions , while the work nt the port Is being
performed by foreign dockers , who are con
tinually arriving and who are glad to worl
for the wages offered. A patched up com
promise , tbo association nays , would only
lead to further disputes , "for , " they add
"It Is not a fight about wages , but Is for

CHIPPHWA FALLS. Dec. 2. Tonight the
situation In Chlppcwu Falls Is more hopeful.
The water has receded about six Inches and
It Is believed It may not rlso higher , al
though the city has twice been fooled within
the past forty-eight hours by exactly the
same conditions. Last night the water re-
ceded eight Inches between thu hours of S
and 12 , but aftCil that hour It cameup rap
idly until It had gene two feet above UH
former high water mark. Tonight's bright
prospects may bo but a repetition of there
of last night and the night before and many
expect that before daylight the water will
bo creeping up Bridge street Into the resi
lience portion. The gorge lu the channel
ol the river has been added to all < lav
and tonight It seems a veritable mountain ,
which tons ot dynamite cannot affect. If
the water succeeds In cutting a passage be
neath this Immcnso mass of frozen snow and
Ice a further rlso may not bo experienced ,
but It Is doubtful If a sufllclcnt volume can
find Its way under it to savu the city fiom
further destruction. At 6 o'clock tonight an
immense amount ot anchor Ice plied up In
the river at the foot of Bridge street , Indi
cating that the gorge- had anchored on the
bottom ttml that the water was no longer
finding Us way beneath. The fact that the
river had fallen fifteen Inches at Eau Clnlre
seems to warrant this bellof. but , nevcrthc-
k'ss. the water did not continue In this city
after that hour. It may be possible the
water found another moans of passing down
the river , but the citizens will not feel ab
solutely safe until It has been demonstrated
by several days' observation that the river
has reached Its maximum height.
CITY WAS PANIC STRICKEN.
The situation here was Interesllng In the
extreme today. The city wes panic-stricken ,
and men with blanched faces rushed back
and forth , scarcely conscious of their nc-
tlons. The alarm may bu unfounded , but
nevertheless It exists , and the condition of
the river scema to auger III for the entire
city. Wild reports reach town of the havoc
wrought by the stream nbovo , and a ter-
rlblt catastrophe may overtake the city at
any moment. No ono knows just what Is
In store , and the condition ot uncertainty
adds moru to the excitement of the moment
than the actual destruction of property by
the river possibly could. Ono rumor to the
effect the river would cut a passage for
Itself through the high banks north of the
city gave rise to a great deal of apprehen
sion. The river course la seriously ob
structed by the gorge , which has now
reached to within a short distance ot the
dam , and the probable turning of the course
of the stream upon the city aeemil so plaus
ible that every one became more panic
stricken. Hundreds of teams started at
daylight to move tbo effects of merchants
out ot the way of possible danger , and
Bridge and Central streets were choked
will , wagons loaded dawn. .wJUwne/rchan-
disc. In many Instances these wagons
were filled to such an. extent that the con
tents' fir.llled over tha bides and ends , ami
the scene was one of Indescribable CQIT- '
fusion. - By morning not a building In the
business portion of the city will be occu
pied. Both the Lumbermen's and First
National banks moved this afternoon , and
the higher portions of thu city arc fairly
congested with the enormous amount of
material that linn been stored there for
safety.
At 12 o'clock Spring utreet was impassable
between Hrltlgo and Hay streets , and the
water waa climbing steadily toward the
basement of the city hall. It Is Impossible
to see how any of thu lower portion of the
city ran escape , for the coming of the waters
Booms as sure as It Is deliberate and the
vallc-y may be completely Inundated. It is
thought the flood may have spent lt force
for the outlying districts. The critical con
dition here , however , continues to excite
fear and the developments of the next
twenty-four hours will bo anxiously awaited.
EAU CLAIRE FEELS RELIEF.
EAU CLAIRE , WIs. , Dec. 2. There Is
not so much alarm tonight as there has
been as thereIs little likelihood that the
lessening volume of water coming from above
can cither push the Ice gorge down or make
an overflow which would rcae-h this city. It
Is certain that as long as the present
weather conditions continue the gorge will
not move und ca long as It docs not ,
Chlppewa Falls , must take the accumula
tion of water and Eau Claire will be In no
danger. Even should a higher temperature
prevail and locwcn the gorge , It seems Ilkoly
that enough of thu Ice and water would beheld
held at the reservoir above this city to pre
vent any danger hero. All the families here
who had vacated their homes in anticipation
Of danger have moved back Into them.
DURANO. WIs. . Dec. 2. The flood condi
tions remain unchanged tonight. Further
danger Is apprehended , as , If the Jam up
the river bienks , it will raise such a floon
of Ice and water as will Inundate half the
town. Grave fears are entertained for Mc-
Inenery and other men who wcro left on
the bottoms Sunday and It Is thought probable -
blo eomo lives were lost.
TRE.MPELEAU , WIs. , Dec. 2. Over 1.000-
000 feet of logs are fast In the Ice gorge
between hero ami La Crosse. They came out
of the Chlppewa and Eau Clalro rivers dur
ing the recent floods. The Mississippi nt
this point has risen seven feet within thu
Ian forty-eight hours.

over the matter for a full year , the board of
trustees of the Carnegie library hero , de
cided that hereafter the citizens ef Pitts-
burg' shall have Sunday concerts In the
music hall. This decision was arrived at
after several lengthy petitions for and
against the movement had been presented
and considered.
Rov. Dr. D. L. McCreary , who represented
the union of evangelical minister ! ) , opposed
Sunday concerto on the ground that the plan
v/ns nn entering wrdgo dcatroylni ; thu sanc
tity of the American Sunday , and that it
would furnish a stepping-stone for further
Infractions. He also eaw danger of the- music
'hall becoming' meeting placo"foryoung
couples desiring to carry on a clandestine
courtship , and had numerous other objec
tions to make to the opening.
Notwithstanding these objections , the trus
tees decided In favor of Sunday concerto ,
and , beginning with December 13 , free con
certs will bo given In the music hall every

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2. Sailor Tom
Sharkey , practically knocked out by Robert
Fltzslmmons In the eighth round of the
ten round match , was given the decision by
Referee Enrp. on the claim of foul. Fltz-
slmmons Jolted Sharkey under Uio chlrt with
hla left and the sailor went over back
wards. As he fell ho put bis hand to bin
groin. He made no attempt to rise ami was
1 carrlod imcoiiHclous from the ring. The foul
could not be seen from thu press stand , but
Roferso Earp gave his decision In splto or
Fltzsinimons' protests.
U was IFItzsltmnons' fight from start to
finish. Hu fought fairly whllo the sailor
continually used foul tactics. Ilo would
clinch and lift Fltzsinimons from his feet ,
strike In a clinch , though thu men hail
previously agreed not to do so , ami ho
was generally unfair. Several times dur
ing Uio light Fltzsinimons had the
sailor going , but could not land a knockout
blow. In the eighth Sharkey started tote
to do the leading , but seldom landed. Hob
continually sent In left hand Jabs on
Sharkey's face , sending his head back every
time. Fltzslmmon ! ! uoon had his man gold ) ;
and went at him ferociously. A right-hand
swing staggered the stiller and then came
a left-hand swing and n left half-arm punch
under the chin that sent Sharkey over with
ni thud.
Whllo the sailor was falling the rcfereo
claims that Fltzsinimons struck him In the
groin with his knee , thus committing a fiuil.
Sharkey was undoubtedly badly hurt. Ho
was unnblo to move- his legs , though ho
clutched spasmodically at hla groin with hla
gloved hand. His seconds rushed Into the
ring and raised him up , but ho fainted
away and was borne from the ring uncon
scious. Hardly any ono among the spec
tators saw the foul and the decision was re
ceived with hlsseu and groans.
FITZ DENIES A FOUL.
At first the crowd did not seem to grasp
the situation , but when It dawned upon them
that the decision had gonu against Fltzalm-
mons such u lunvl of ludlznatlon as went
up has seldom been heard In this section.
Hisses , curses , groans and hoots split the
air. On tbo platform and In tbo
ring Bob FlUslmmonti and Martin
Julian were Jumping about anil , try-
Jug to tnaku . themselves * , heard. .Although
their * " word8 'wero' ' ' "lndIstlirgHlshablof. their
actlona word expressive enough. Dismay'
and disgust were vividly portrayed. Fltz
sinimons Indignantly denied that ho hail
fouled Sharkey. Ho said ho had fought
fairly , and there was no temptation for him
to commit n foul , as hu knew ho had hla
man going. Sharkey could not bo seen.
Ho was carried Into ills room by his PCC-
ends , and followed by n doctor , who ex
amined the Injured sailor. Thu psyslclau
has not yet made his report.
It was a lively fight from the start. Hob
was even more on the aggressive than ,
Sharkey , and kept his man on the move all
the time. In the very first round Fltzslui-
mons saw nn opening and a right swing on
the Jaw sent Sharkey to the floor. That
made the sailor a bit more cautious , and
during the next four rounds lie tried to keep
out of reach.
SHARKEY DOES SOME FOULINO.
In the fourth Sharkey piulied Fltzstm-
mnns over onto iho floor and before Deb
could get up made a couple of vicious swlpca
nt him. Fltzsinimons cleverly clinched and
avoided damage , but It was a clear case ot
foul on Sharkuy'fl part. No claim was made ,
however , and the light went on. In the fifth
Sharkey did moro moan woik. grabbing Fltz- _
slmmons around the legs and trying to
throw him. Fltzslmmoiu began to worm up
and went after the sturdy sailor llko a cy
clone. A poke on , the nose and a left swing
on the Jaw sent Sharkey down. Ha
rolled up the ropea and would have
gene off the platform had not
Deb courteously hauled him back. It
looked us if Tom was done for. but the gonz
Hounded anil ho wca given a mlnuto lu
which to recuperate. In the sixth Slmrkoy
made a pretcnso of lighting , leading for
Hob's wind. When the round closed Slmrkoy
was decidedly groggy , but waa on his feet.
A Joyous shout went up from the many
spoils who had bet oven money that ho
would last six rounds. When the seventh
round oponid , Fltzxlmmons tried to end
matters. Ho swung bis right repeatedly
for the Jaw , but In some niannor
Sharkey escaped. The left Jabs always con
nect ud , though , and Tom was decidedly on
the wane. Hob himself was none too strong
und seemedto , bo a bit tired when thu round
cloHiMl. Then came thu dlnahtrous ulghtb.
Fltzslmmcnu went at hl man with a will
and fairly smothered him with lefts and
rights. First It would bu the mouth that
Buffered , then the nose uml later the eyes.
Fltzslmmnns was working llko a demon. Hla
long arms shot out with amazing rapidity and
Tom's head bubbcd baek and forth In re
sponse. 'Then Fit/.slmmons got up closu to
llnlbli the Job In a workmanlike manner. A
right half-arm Jolt under the chin cent the
sailor's head to ono Ride. A left hook nlm-
llarly applied sent him over backwards. Then
came tht ) foul. Very few of the Immcnso
crowd could bo convinced that Fllzslmmona
had been unfair , and It lu almost certain
that If a foul were committed It was uu In
tentional.
