Increase la prmelnally In augar. clgare and

FAN FRANCI8CO. Jury 28. The result ot
the championship battle fought here laat
night between Jame Jeffrie and Robert
Flttalmmona I prolific of widespread dis
cussion. The atory circulated to the effeot
that tha fight wag a pre-arranged affair
hat enraged the champion and fremled
ritirflmmons to the point of bursting Into
teara and fainting away. It any proof ot
a fake can be offered, eaya Fltzslmmonf,
be will forfeit hla winnings and hla last
dollar in tha world. Jeffrie 1 equally
vehement In hla denial and both are
courting a full Inveatlgatlon. Mayor
Schmlti ta weighing the alleged evidence
In the ease and Intimating that he will
end priseflghtlng her If he find the cir
cumstance bear out the charge that the
fight waa a fake. Fltaalmmona Is badly
hurt. The terrific body blowa that he re
ceived laat night have unquestionably af
fected his heart. Great welta atand out
on hla back and aide, and only today
while being rubbed down he fainted. When
Coming out of tha faint he imagined be
waa In the ring once more and hla at
tendanta had a busy time of It controlling
him. "I waa beat fairly and am badly
hurt," aald Fltistmmon to an Associated
Preta ' representative today. "The atory
that I engaged In a fake la a lie."
Flttslmmons' right thumb la dislocated
and two knuckles of hla left hand, are
badly out of place. He la bow tinder tha
cars of a physician. '
Those who claim that the outcome of the
fight waa pre-arranged bate their allega
tion principally on tb tact that FItislm
mona, after waging a masterful and telling
battle, dropped hla guard, leaving an open
ing which Jeffries took advantage of. Fits
Simmons Insists, however, that this waa
not done Intentionally. He was fighting all
the time and the very punishment he had
borne up under told on him at last. De
laney, Egan, George Biler, Lou House
man, Aleo Greggalna, Sam Thall and others
are loud In their denunclationa of the
story that the battle was a fake. They
say that the prophesying of the result and
final round In a sealed note to the mayor
waa a coincidence and that hundreds ot
anonymous letters suggesting parallel out
comes are extant.
Story Told by Fltaalasmoas.
Flttslmmons said today:
Its a shame to call it a fake. I fought
the greatest fight of my lite and here I
have been branded as a cur. There I was
winning all the time but 1 could not have
won anyway. Both hands were gone. I've
fought 328 battlea and have been defeated
twice, both times by Jeffries. That ahowa
he la the better man, doean't it T I have
had twenty-five years of hard fighting and
my hands have gone back on me. If they
had been all right Jeffries would not have
lasted six rounas, dui i ve got no excuse.
As Qod is my Judge, I did my best.
Fitiaimmons cried as he aald thla and
looked regretfully at hia crippled hands,
I know some woman had written to
Naughton that I waa to lay down In the
eighth. I was told of It yesterday -After
noon. Naughton waa to judge ty tne ngnt
whether there waa any truth tn the atory
and now he cornea out and aays It waa a
take. When I got In distress in the eighth
last night I thought of tha letter and tried
to stau on tne end, dui i couta not aa it.
I remember that aa I went down I said
or tried to say "I'm gone," but I guss it
was not any more than a gasp. He knocked
ail the wind out of my body. I did not say
"that waa a peacn. ana ir t smtiea, as
thev sav I did. that must have been a
smfle of pain. I tried to laat, but I could
not. I got what i gave many a gooa man.
only It waa a little to one side, but it did
the business. '
Some time during the fight Jeffries got
In one that caugnt me unuer tne neart. .
did not feel it much then, but this morn
ing about 1 o'clock it caught me good, and
I thought i waa going to die. i can t raiae
m v left hand now.
My handa went back on me. In tho laat
two rounds i put my giovea into mm race,
but there waa no force to the blowa. 1
waa whipped fair and square. The atory
that I laid down Is a damned, malicious lie.
Bariing my hands I was never In better
condition In my life. Where ie there a
man or my weight ana age wno could do
what I did laat nigmr
A moment lator he said: "And thsy say
I was fairing. I call on the American pub'
He to Judge." He cred again as he said
this.
"Why," he ssld, with childish frankness,
"I prayed to win thla tight. It was tha
first time I ever prayed to win. I lay in
that room there" he pointed to the ad
joining apartment "and prayed, 'God, give
me atrength to win thia battle, and I will
be thankful. Amen.' Do you think I waa
faking after that. If I wanted to fake I
could do It better than any on in the
world becauss I'm not afraid of a punch. I
would have gone up and taken one that
would bav stretched me out. I hsve been
offered hundreds of thousands of dollars
to throw fights, but I always fought on ths
squsre. I did my best. I could do no mors.
Now, I'm going to rstlre.. I'm don for
good."
Jeffries Makes Dealal
When Jeffries was seen his face was a
sight. His eyes were puffed out and dla
colored' and his checks cut and bruised
"Do I look 'like a faker?" he facetiously
rsmarked, aa he looked at himself. In a
glaas. "If I was going to be a party to a
taks I would not hava stopped all those
blows with this faco of mine. Apybody
who says that fight waa crooked la a liar,
and they can break me if they can bring a
bit of evidence. It there had been a fake
would have been the man to hit the floor,
for I waa on the long end of tha betting.
Mayor Schmlts made the following atat
meat In regard to the fight
I saw the exhibition and ud to tha tlm
the blow that aettled the fight waa struck
It seemed to be a fair and creditable per
formance, but at the time the blow waa
delivered by Jeffries, Fltaalmmona appeared
to be entirely oft hla guard.
Perhana ao much stresa would not ba
placed on thla fact were It not for the
information given to me on the night be
fore the exhibition that the contest would
end, and in favor of Jeffries, in tha eighth
round.
I am loth to believe that the promoters of
thla exhibition were In a conspiracy to
dvrraua tne puouc ana oeneve that they
knew nothing at all of a prearranged affair.
Secretary Harrington of the San Fran
claco Athletic club haa made the following
financial statement or the fight:
Total receipts for sale of tickets. 3SI. 8S0.
Brventy per cent to contestanta, 322, 3!(.

who acted aa treasurer, at an early hour
thla morning,
Trainer William Delaney .thla afternoon
Issued the following statement la behalf
of Jeffries:
The flcht Is over. Jeffries won. but n
without a struggle. I am frea to admit
that Ittslmmoita gave ua a aurprlae.
never did like Fltxslmmons, but his action
laat nlsht won me over. I admire him a
a fighter and sympartilx with him that he
should have been subjected to the mean
accusation ot faking. Taking hla age and
weight Into conalderatlon. he made a
marvelou ahowii.f. If he is a faker we are
willing to admit ouraelvea to be in hla clas,
for It Is the kind of faking that wtna glory
and chaanplonahlp. K that fight waa a
fake, we were a imrtv to it.
1 nave been before the public for a
uarter of a century, and have never been
accused of tartlclpatlng In a dishonest i!n
ceuuat, and 1 am perfectly willing to let
the people Judge for themselves relative to
laat nlaht s fight I like a coursgeou man
or animal, and when I aee a man who
tons ht aa F:iilmmon fousht last night
accused of throwing hla frlenda I am com
pelled to do aomethlng I have never dona
oenire r'len Into print In oerense ot tne
honesty of a fleht I was connected with.
To defend Fltaalmmona from the accusa
tion is to defend a principal In the greatest
puailistlo encounter the world has ever
seen.
I think tha atorv la tha brlahtaat feather
In IHulmmnrii wing. It haa had the ef
fect of making me a warm supporter of a
man whom I never liked, and I venture to
say it will bave tha aame effect on thou
sands of others. Even the spectators, did
not know what a bed fix Jeffries was In.
His cheek bone waa laid open and he had a
bleeding broken nose, the blood from which
ran down hla throat, preventing hla breath
lhg. These were not tha thlnaa we feared
most. One of hla eyea was cut between tbe
eyeorow ano tne eyeiaen, ana we were
afraid that tha flan of hla eve would fall
and blind him. Hla other eye was "blown
out" for a moment. I think Jeftrlea demon
strated ne oould take aa much as he could
give. People near the ring will agree with
iib ill una. I
I eaaerlv watched for some slrn of
weakening In Fltxslmmons. It came In the
fifth round. I then told Jeffrlee to keep
close to him and not let him recover. Jef-
rrier followed imrtructlons and landed the
punch in the eighth.
In conclusion, I will say that It waa tha
gameat fight between the earnest men the
wuiiu-nii over Known, ona tne uea i man
on.
Regarding the letter In the bands of Mayor
Schmlts, saying that tho contest would com
to an and In the eighth round, Delaney said:
We received hundreds nf anonymous let
ters predicting something for every round.
That one should have hit tt ts a fact so
trivial that l don't believe Mayor Srhmlts
will heed it. I know nothing of It beyond
what Is rumored. , .
RESISTANCE PROVES FARCE

PARIS, July 18. The serving of official
notices closing the unauthorized ' religious
schools began this morning and was car
ried but So fat- ss . Parts was concerned
without ny disturbance. At Mauavux, de
partment of du Nord, the expulsl6fj of the
sisters led to a riot. In which twenty per
son .were arrested. .A. police commissary
and ' ten rioters were Injured. '
The resistance to the official decree tn
the capital Is developing Into a farce. The
government allows the sisters in ths Rue
Salneuve to remain because an orphango
and a bome for the aged are attached to
their school. On ths other hand lbs sisters-
In' another street who were ordered by
their mother Superior to leave ware pre
vented from1 complying by a band of fifty
enthusiasta; who surrounded them snd sBut
them up 1ft the schoolhous'e. The police
are holding' off from expelling them by
force.
The situation In the provinces Is mors
grave. Telegrams containing petitions tor
clemency and delay ars pouring In on
President Loubet from all quarters, and a
telegram from Brest says the outlook in
several ot the neighboring towns Is Serious.
Opposition to the authorities wss offerdd,
but no casualties hive been reported. '
At Lyons there was bo disturbance. Ths
schools there have been closed and the
doors sealed.
A meeting convened for the purpose ot
protesting against the official decree or
dering the closing of the congrsgatlonlat
schools as held In Parts tonight, presided
over by ' Jules 'Le Maltre, the llterateur.
Addresses were made by Francois Coppee,
the author and poet, and other members
ot tha Chsmber of Deputies and municipal
counselors. Tbe breaking up of the as
semblage wag " followed by disorderly
scenes. Crowds crying, "Vive la Hberte,"
gathered and the police were Obliged to use
severe measures to dlspsrs them. Several
arrests were madey ' among " th ' persons
taken Into ctts'tyTy being a priest. .
Counter demonstrations were organised
in trie streets, those taking part In thm
singing political songs and denouncing the
nationalists. Up to thia hour 11:16 p. m

PARIS. July 1$. (New. York World Ca

little Incident la related of the pretest I
ments of death wblch haunt the emperor
of Austria. Francia Joseph was preaeat
a few days ago at th Inauguration of a
new boepttal erected at Maner-Ocbllng.
After the ceremony the old smparor, turn
ing toward M. Gerenyl, director ot th s
tabllahment, pronounced th following
words: "Many auperb establishments ara
about to be constructed now, but I shall not
live to aae them completed. I feel that I
shall not live much longer." Much moved
by these words of bis sovereign, M. Ger
enyl looked steadily at tb smperor and
said: "I ahall pray tha All Powerful to
preserve the daya of your majesty to the
good of your people." The emperor atad
bo other response than a gesture of sad
ness and walked away.

'This strike Is merely an incident. The
Union Faclflo Is as certain to loss aa that

mechanlca and can get them nowhere ex
cept In the unions. That simply means
that eventually ths company will be forced
to remploy its old mea, and In order to do
Ibis It will hav to accede to the terms ot
these tnso."
Thla Is the way In which John McNeil of
Kansaa City, grand president and organiser
of the Brotherhood ot Boilermakers and
Iron Shipbuilders views the strike on the
Union Pacific. President McNeil arrived In
Omaha late last night and will be here for
a day or two In connection with tha striks.
"I sm highly gratified with the progress
ot the strike from tbe boilermakers' stand
point and the management of It and I Will
assume to make no changea In the direction
of affairs, My chief purposs in coming at
this tlms Is to see what financial means
ths boilermakers require and how their
funds are being distributed," said Mr. Mc
Neil. Mr. McNeil has Just come from ths Santa
Fs system, where the boilermakers bave
been at outs with the company for some
time over a black list proposition. Hs feels
that things ar betng brought to a settle
ment favorable to the boilermakers and
thinks ths sad is not far off.

facta and figures: On ths Illinois Central
railroad tbe boilermakers get 82 cents so
hour in tbe city ot Chicago; 85 cents In
Nw Orleans and in all other places 81
cents: on tb . Northwestern they get 82
cents an hour In Chicago and 81 in other
places; on the Missouri Pacific 82 centa; in
the city of Pittaburg at the foundrlea they
get 85 cents an hour and $1 a day extra for
what, we call dirt work, that is, repair
work; In Nsw York and Brooklyn, 87 an
hour, with double tlm for overtime, treble
tlm for Sunday and are allowed twenty
seven hours for a night; In Buffalo they
get 88 1-8 cents In contract shops and 31 on
the railroads; In Birmingham contract
work pays 85 cents and railroads 81; In
Florida on tb Plant system and others
they get 85 and we have Just settled on a
scale in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth,
the maximum of which Is 85 cents an hour.
Now, In th New England statea the price
drops to 80 cents an hour, with tlms and
a balf for overtime, but you must remem
ber that living expenses In that section are
very 16w.
'The boilermakers on tbe Union Pacific
struck because ths company would not
grant their demand for a scale ot 33 in
Omaha, Ksnsas City and Council Bluffs,
rsnglng up to - 8? In western - Wyoming.
This would bring the scale up to a cent
and a half or two cents and a balf more
tban tbey were, getting. In comparison
with wagss paid la other localities by other
rallroada. and the. living expenses, of the
various- place; these demands are perfectly
reasonable.
Coaoeralagc Piecework.
... . .... i . .
"Now" as Id piecework, there la no rep
resentative . railroad In . ths country that
presume, to use that ayatem for new en
gine work, except the Pennsylvania and
Burlington, and thsy don't uae It for re
pair work. 8o you aee, it is obsolete as
far as repair work ia concerned. This
brings sp another point to bs considered,
namely, that th Union Pacific doea prac
tically nothing but repair work on engines.
It baa ceased making lta own engines, so
that If It adopted tb . piecework system
for repair work. It would atand alone in
that respect.
"When the boilermakers bad their fight
on the Erie, wblch endured from Decern
bar, 1900, until December, 1901, they were
put to an sxpense ot 137,000, but ' they
finally won, -and they will cheerfully ex
pehd $50,000 to win the fight with the
Union - Pacific If need ba. We succeeded
in having piecework abolished on ths Erie,
as w ' did also on ths Burlington, Cedar
Rapids tt Northsrn in our little fight of
three months, and w will attain the
sams results on the Union Pacific. The
systsm la wrong, and It must be abolished
everywhere."
President McNeil will meet with the
boilermakers at Labor temple this after
noon. Asksd If he would meet any of
th Unloo'.pacinc officials while here,' he
said: "Not a bit of it. I have ho time
to throw away talking' 'with officials."

Every master mechanic and division u
psrWehdent on the Union Pacific met
with W. R. McKeen. Jr., auperintendent of
motive power and. machinery, at the lat
ter's office yesterday afternoon ' tor the
purpose of making a . thorough report and
considering fully the conditions snd seeds
ot th system. Thoss at the meeting
were: Superintendent McKeen, M. P. Bar
num, master ' mechanic of tbe Nebraska
division; A. Stewart.' Z. T. Bprlgga and
J. O. Brlnkerhoff, master mechanics of the
Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas division
respectively; R. W. Baxter, W. L. Park,
W. A. Deuel and Jamea Roberts, superin
tendent of th division of Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado and Kansaa respec
tlvelr.
' After the confsrsncs Superintendent Mc
Keen said:
"All our man reported t their . respective
divisions In first-class ' shapa; motlvs
power, which U tbe most important thing
normal and far above the average in
Some instances. The Kansas and Colo
rado divisions report larger forces In the
shops than before the strike. The men
bad all made very thorough Investigations
and their statements and reports were an
aolutely reliable and accurate."
Ia connection with tbe condition over
the road General Manager Dickinson, who
has returned, from a tour within the last
two days, said; "Our affairs sr in gooa
order and tbe" strike baa not affected
them at all. Trains ars running on tims,
both freight and passenger, and the en-
ginea are hauling aa much and In some
cstes mors tonnage than before tne airise
W have all the mea we really need."

The statement waa made by Superintend
ent McKean that at Armstrong ths car
buHders were making on aa aversgs of 82
cents a day mors undsr the piecework eys
tern tbaa before tb atrlke and were highly
pleased wita tneir 101.
Notices ot partial piecework prices wers
posted yesterday in the Omaha ahopa and
It la aald that the company has informed
the present forces -that they will hav to
pay their own board beginning tomorrow.
Thla report la aot authentic. Regarding
th Introduction of piecework at these
Shops Mr. McKeen aaid It would be done
gradually, but could net h don at - one.
For instsace, some characters or classes
of 'work that could ba don -y th place
would b aa done, hut there might not. b
enough of tbla sort of work to keep tb
man busy for a day and consequently be
would worV the remainder of tb day at
the wage scale. Owing to certain unavoid
able complications Mr. McKeen saya It will
require yeara to effect a perfect Introduc
tion of piecework over the entire system.

wafe, and John C. Davles, attornsy general
Of New York state.

only the preliminary arrangements for It.
It Is understood thst the beet trust in

York, with special reference to the prospsct
of Mr. Dsvles getting th nomination tor

name him to succeed Judge Alfred G. Cox
as United States district Judge ot the north
ern district of New York, Judge Coxa hav
ing been advanced by the president to tb
United States circuit court bench. Should
Mr. Davles obtain the nomination It ,1a
