There Is no doubt tint a proposition U
being considered by the general panongei
agents of the western ronclB looking toward
< iii advance In salarlen of ticket azents Hi
order to comiicnsflto thorn In a measure for
the loxni'ri they will sustain by the nweeplns
abolition of nil coiiitnUMnns , which became :
cffecllvo yet krday. It Is not likely that thr
Increase If decided upon will brltiR
the Balnrlca tip to the commission point , but
Whey will plncato the agents to a pprtaln ex
tent. Some of the local ticket agents have
. a-callzcd enormously from their commlHsloiiB
nnd In Komo cities agento who mndo as high
" s JuOO per month off their commissions re-
icelvcd salaries ranging from $35 to $50 per
aiionth.
The stiKRCBtion hap been made that the
nRrce on u common scale that will
snake the salaries of the agcnto of nil rends
ilinvliiR fllmllav duties the same. This mat-
Ker , It Is believed , will bo taken up by the
Kcncrnl passenger agents of western HUPS
'nl a meeting to be held for this especial pur-
jose In the curly future. The plan ndvaticei.
dH that the larRcr roads adopt a sc. . - c7 sai-
iirlcs for their ticket agents and the smaller
Jincs In proportion. Heretofore It has been
< the custom for the railroads to pay their
eiRcnts whatever they considered their
BcrviccH worth and this was Rovcrned largely
liy the amount of coinmlsslono which the
uncut could reasonably depend upon.
A well Informed local passenger official
Untrn : "Tho abolishment of commissions Is
KoliiR to open up Komo unexpected problems
for the general p-isscngcr agencies of tha
"western roads. Whllo It will iiccompllsh a
Kreat bavlnt ; there is going to be one feature
that the weaker lines will tnlto advantage of
md the precedent Is likely to force the
:
l ptrongor lines to do likewise. It will open
up opportunity for the prodigal expenditure
of money by traveling passenger agcntH , who
will stop at nothing to shower favors upon
ticket agents at points from which consid
erable business originates. These travelliiR
tigcnts will have the privilege of spending all
fcinds of money for suppers nnd the enter-
talnnicnt of agentfl , ami Hiich treatment Is
pretty sure to bo productive of returns when
( the agent has an opportunity to favor the
tread whose representative has made himself
. cuch a 'good fellow. '
"Another added expense will come In the
distribution of advertising matter. In the
( pant ticket agents have availed themselves
, nt every opportunity to display the advertisIng -
, Ing of lines paying them liberal commls-
j /dons , for It was to their advantage to
Jirlng these lines prominently before the
j jiubllc. Now , however , all such advertis
ing matter will undoubtedly be consigned
' to the waste basket , and the railroads will
rliave to pursue other plans for giving public-
Sty to their advertising matter. "
The ticket agents affected by the abolish- '
I ment of commissions arc wholly at eea as
to their prospects. Some of them assert
that the present arrangement will not
exist for any great length of time , nnd
' others who think that the condition is likely
* to bo permanent believe that their roads
j -will increase their salaries sufllclently , so
1 , that the loss of the commmiFslons will not
i i to eo serious a matter.

CII1CAC10 , Keb. 1. Terry McUovcrn o
Utoqklyn , nt Tattcrsalls tonight , proved hi :
right to the title of featherweight champloi
of the world by knocking out Kddle Santfj
of Chicago , who claimed the leadership o
the 132-pound class by virtue of n knockoui
of Hen Jordan of England.
Ttio knockout tonight came In the flftl
round , after n fierce mixup , In which Siintri
did some clever work , hut Terry was tot
strong for the Chicago lad , and straightening
Snntry up with n short-arm Jolt to thi
Btomach , landed left nnd right to the jaw
In eitllck succession nud Snntry fell to tin
lloor on his fnce. Ho got up nt the counl
of ten , but wns In such a weakened condi
tion that Uefereo George Slier declared Me-
( Jovern the winner to tmvo Snntry from
further punishment , as he wan staggering
r.over \ \ the ring and would have been out
with the next blow.
Santry was down In the second round' for
the count , hut got up strong and In long
range fighting had n shade the advantage , as
Terry seemed unable to solve Santry's two-
bnnijod work. Santry'a clover hlockcr ap
peared to bother McGovern for n while , ns
ho wns unable to reach the stomach with
nny effect. Santry tried to fight at long
range , but Terry would rush In headlong
and took many left-hand Jabs on the nose
In hla anxiety to land a knockout.
In the third Santry made an oven break
of It , doing some good Jabbing , and Terry
wns unable to get In close enough to use
his short-arm Jolts that have made him
famous.
In the fourth round Terry commenced
playing for the jaw , nnd after a llcrco
mixup landed n right swing to the jaw which
sent Santry to the floor for the count. The
blow weakened Santry and when ho got up
ho clinched to save himself. On the break
Terry started playing 'for ' the body , and this
time ho WHS able to land and from that time
to the end of the light Santry gradually
grew weaker from Terry's piledrlvlng hort-
arm jolts. Near the end of the round Santry
rallied nnd drov0 his left to Terry's face ,
but the latter did not appear to mind the
blow and made a headlong rush for Snntry
nnd jsont him to the floor with n right to the
Jaw.
Snntry Trim in fi t Aivny.
Santry tried to keep away In the fifth , but
Terry slowed him down with a breath-taking
blow In the stomach. Santry , seeing he
could not escape from McGovcrn , made a
stand in the middle of the ring. Iloth were
swinging wildly , when suddenly Terry up-
pcrcut Santry on the jaw. Santry's guard
dropped for the smallest fraction of a second
and McGovern whipped the left over to the
jaw. He followed the blow up with a right
swing and caught Santry on the car as ho
was falling. Santry fell to the lloor on his
face and rolled over. At the count of nine
he got to his knees nnd tried to strnightcn
up , but wns unable and the referee gave the
fight to McGovern. Santry was unable to
leave the ring for fully ten minutes after
being counted out. McGovern did not have
a mark on him as ho left the ring. The bet
ting before the fight was 2 to 1 thnt Santry
would be knocked out before the end of the
sixth round.
Santry was seconded by Jack Moffatt and
Hnrry Gllmore. Snm Harris and Henry Mayweed -
wood looked after McGovorn. There was n
dispute about the rules 'before the men en
tered the ring , owing to the fact that Santry
had never fought under hitting In the
clinches. The matter was finally settled by
McGovern agreeing that If Santry would
fight straight Marquis of Qucensherry rules
and was on his feet at the end of the con
test it Ehould be declared n draw.
It was the greatest boxing show ever
brought off In Chicago. Special trains were
run from nearby towns and fully 15,000 people
ple jammed and pushed through the build
ing. The box receipts amounted to over
Jl 8,000.
