NEILL WINS RING BAITLE
SENDS TRACEY DOWN AXD OUT IK
EIGHTEENTH ROUND.
Callfornlan's "Weight Wore Out the
Clever Australian, Who Pat
Up a Game Contest.
In a bruising:, smashing: ring battle,
which lasted 18 rounds, Al Nelll knocked
out Tom Tracey at the Exposition build
ing: last night, and the contest -was wit
nessed by about 1000 people. It was by
long odds the befit flght seen in Portland
for many a day, and from the tap of the
gong it was a succession of mlz-ups with
terrific In-tlghtlng all the way. Nelll was
the favorite In the betting, the talent fig
uring 'it out that Tracey would be unable
to make much of a showing against the
California man because of the latter's
superior weight.
Both men were in splendid condition.
Tracey weighed in at 141J, and Nelll
tipped the scales at 148, but to the- aver
age observer Nelll looked at least 10
pounds heavier than his opponent.
Tracey's most ardent admirers were sur
prised at the splendid fight he put up.
His defensive work was a revelation, and
he showed a capability for taking punish
ment that few thought was in Him. It
was a rattling go from start to finish, and.
although he was whipped, Tracey proved
himself worthy of serious consideration :n
future battles before the cub.
Nelll said before the flght that he in
tended to win out as soon as possible.
"When Referee Joe Acton called time, the
San Francisco man started from the Jump
to rough it. He swung right and left and
found Tracey with a series of punches
that were damaging. A straight right
landed on Tracey's mouth, which started
the blood, and it bothered the Australian
the rest of the go. When Tracey came
up for the second round he took the of
fensive, and displayed some short-arm
punches in clinches that made him a fa
vorite with the crowd. Time and again
he landed trip-hammer blows on Nelll's
wind and jaw at short range, and the
effect of them was apparent.
Tracey's Clever In-Work.
Nelll sent a number of lefts to the face
and rights to Tracey's wind, but the hon
ors were not all his; In fact, Tracey
rather had the better of it when time
was called. At this stage of the game the
knowing ones began to predict that the
light would not go 10 rounds. It looked
for the first five rounds as though the
men could not live who could go the limit
in such a gruelling battle. Tracey's stock
went up with a Jump, and stayed up until
after the 15th round, when it was appar
ent that Nelll's pounds over were telling,
and that he was the fresher of the two.
The Australian seemed to have the better
of the close work, until Nelll took to
ducking and blocking In the clinches.
Traced pounded his opponent's wind ana
kidneys, and had Ncill's right side raw
from repeated Jabs.
The spectators did not seem to under
stand the rules, and hissed the fighters
several times, jxirticularly when Tracey
was getting in his work in the clinches.
"With the exception of an unintentional
low blow from Tracey, the men fought
clean, and according to the referee's in
structions. When the 18th round opened
Tracey was seen to be weakened by the
punishment he had received. Neill rushed
him, and swung with right and left.
Tracey lost his head for a moment, and
gave the California man some good open
ings, of which he took advantage.
Tracey Gocx Down and Ont.
The knock-out blow was a right-hand
upper Jab which caught Tracey full in
the jaw. It did not appear to have
intrSh; force, but It was enough, and he
wont to the floor. - As the referee slowly
counted the 10 seconds Tracey raised him
self on one elbow, and the spectators
thought he would take nine seconds and
go at it again, but he was whipped to a
finish and knew it, and there was no
sense nor reason for standing up for
more punishment when he was without
a chance to win.
The crowd appreciated the splendid
fight Tracey put up, and he was cheered
with as much vim as was the winner.
Previous to the call of time for the first
round, Jack Day announced that "Nelll
challenged "Mysterious" Billy Smith to
flght 20 rounds for a purse and side bet
of ?500. Smith was acting as timekeep
er. He rose in his place on the stage
and announced that he would accept tho
challenge and would fight within six
weeks.
Foley "Won Preliminary.
The 10-round preliminary between Mul
ler and Foley was a surprise. The de
cision was given by Referee Jack Day to
the latter, and the improvement in the
youngster's work since his fight with
Yost, which was his first appearance In
the professional game, was wonderful.
He stood up to Muller, and the greater
part of the contest . took the offensive.
Foley's advantage In height and reach
gave him some the best of It, but Muller
has met and defeated some of the best
of them in the Northwest. It was a hard
game for a boxer who was recently grad
uated from the ranks of the amateurs.
The going was fast and furious and af
ter the first half it was apparent that
neither man had the strength left for
a knock-out. Foley was trained to the
limit an&lfjhe hud'farxed several pounds
more he would have been Just as strong,
if not stronger.
Ah Wing, a Chinese aspirant for fistic
honors, and his trainer. Jack Wiley,
went four rounds with big gloves, and the
Celestial showed that he understood the
game, though he Is probably not slated
for championship honors.
At 10:35 Nelll, accompanied by his sec
onds, Foley, Shaugnessy and McQuade,
entered the ring. He was followed short
by Tracey, who was seconded by Muller,
Dcnney, Riley and Drummond. Both men
were loudly cheered. "Mysterious" BlUy
Smith acted as timekeeper.

an end.
HOLIDAY FOOTBALL GA3IES.
Multnomnh Getting: Heady to Sleet
Chenia-Tva and Ilelinnce.
The Multnomah football players have
begun to practice for the coming foot
ball games, with Chemawa and the Re
liance Athletic Club. After the Thanks
giving game, the local players did no
active -work for more than three weeks,
and consequently are not In the best of
shape for the game with the Indians on
Christmas day. Rube Sanders has gone
back to Chemawa, and It is generally
believed that he will be in the Indian
line-up next Wednesday. .The loss of
Sanders comes as a severe blow to the
club eleven, as he did splendid work In
the Oregon and Washington games. The
Indians are practicing diligently for the
game with the clubmen and It is rumored
that some of Salem's crack men of last
year will play with them on Christmas.
If this Is true, Multnomah will have to
hustle in order to win out, for the stal
wart players from the Capital City can
play good football, as was demonstrated
last season. Bishop, who Is coaching
the Indians, will enter the game as left
halfback. ,
During the interval between Christmas
and New Year's, the M. A. A. C. men
will practice diligently for their game
with Reliance. It is quite likely that
Sanders will play with Multnomah
against the Callfornlans and Captain
Kerrigan has high hopes of taking some
of the conceit out of the Oaklanders.
WRESTLERS AT M. A. A. C. TONIGnT
Twenty-tiro Entries for the Chara
plonshtp LadtCM May Go.
Tonight the first amateur championship
wrestling tournament will be held at the
Multnomah Amiteur Athletic Club. This
is the first championship tourney ever
held in the Northwest under a sanction
from the Amateur Athletic Union.
Yesterday two more entries were put on
the list, making a total of 22. For the
first time, the Multnomah Club has de
cided to allow ladles to be present at Its
wrestling tournaments, and It Is expected
that a large number of the fair sex will
be at the contest this evening.
"Little Maid" Heard From.
Frank C. Baker, former owner of Little
Maid, and her son. Printer's Ink, 29,557,
received a letter from their present owner,
C. A. Harrison, of Los Angeles, saying
that "the Maid Is keeping company with
Cresceus, 2:02?4, the fastest trotting stal
lion In the world, and I don't consider
him. any too good for her, either." Ho
writes also that he "hooked her to pole
last week with Hanford Medium, 2:13, but
he could not step with her. I drove them
a mile In 2:26, but he had to run the last
eighth. Then I drove them another mile,
she trotting, ne running most of the way.
Printer's Ink Jogged last half yesterday
In 1:12; last quarter In 34 seconds, J. C.
Mosher driving him. He has gone In 2:22

Rice Bested Dixon.
NEW LONDON, Conn., Dec. 19. Austin
Rice, of New London, and George Dixon,
of New York, met tonight for 20 round.,
at 122 pounds. During the early rounds
Dixon led often for Rice's head, but had
little success in landing. In the tenth
round Dixon was sluggish, but in the
eleventh he commenced to show some
of his old-time footwork, and from that
time grew stronger. The 20th round was
the hardest of all, first one man having
the advantage and then the other. Sev
eral times Rice landed good blows, but
lack of force prevented a knock-out. Both
men were fighting strongly when the
gong sounded, and the referee gave the
decision to Rice.

WILL BUILD SHAMROCK III
SIR THOMAS LIPTOX'S PLANS FOR
the nmmn.
He Tell Klagr Edrrard That His Nevr
Yacht "Will Be Faster Than
the Old Shamrock.
LONDON, Dec 19. Sir Thomas Llpton,
in a long interview which he had with
King Edward yesterday, during which
the America's cup races were minutely
discussed, unfolded his plans for the fu
ture. His Majesty exhibited the keen
est interest and at times offered sugges
tlons. He expressed the opinion that It
would be hard to get a boat to beat the
Americans, to which Sir Thomas replied
that he was at least confident he could
secure a yacht a good deal better than
Shamrock II. When Sir Thomas had
finished explaining his reasons for this
belief, the King appeared to be satisfied
and heartily wished him success.
Sir Thomas Upton also conveyed to
King Edward a recapitulation of Presi
dent Roosevelt's friendly comments on
the King and on England, which formed
the gist of a conversation between Sir
Thomas and Mr. Roosevelt while the
former was In the United States. The
King was evidently much pleased. In
turn he told Sir Thomas how greatly he
admired President Roosevelt's personal
ity, which, unfortunately, he knew only
by hearsay.
The King takes great interest in the
preparations for building another chal
lenger, which are believed to be already
on foot. Captain Sycamore, In an in
terview, said he would shortly hold a
consultation with Sir Thomas Llpton and
he had great hopes that a Shamrock III
would result therefrom.
It Is learned that King Edward has
taken particular interest in W. G. Jame
son's alleged shortcomings during tho
cup races. It Is noticeable in this con
nection that his Majesty has not seen
Mr. Jameson since tho latter's return
to England and It Is said by those who
are In a position to know that he Is not
likely to do so In the future.
Operations Agralnst Rebels.
COLON. Dec 19. The Conservative Gen

Panama from Penonome this morning.
They saw no Insurgents in that direction.
General Castro reports that the insur
gents have established their headquarters
on JLa Negrlta Mountain, near Penonome.
The government will send reinforcements
and cannon to surround and capture
them.
A prominent Liberal lawyer of Panama

ing false news of the Insurrection. Gen
eral Alban lsv gathering data and Inform

to be placed in his office.
War on the Irish League.
NEW YORK, Dec 19. There Is every
indication that the Government is de
termined to conduct a vigorous cam
paign against the United Irish League,
and Mr. Redmond's speech at Cork is
taken to mean that the league Is prepared
to defend Itself, says the London cor
respondent of the Tribune. The situa
tion in Ireland at present is very critical,
and seemingly the struggle between the
law, representing the landlord, and the
league, representing the tenant, which
rendered the early 80s historic, is about
to be re-enacted. Large numbers of
mounted and unmounted police have been
drafted into Counties Clare, Mayo and
Roscommon.
Invited Bsnnerman to Retire.
LONDON, Dec. 19. The Midlothian
Liberal Association, of which the late
Mr. Gladstone and Lord Roseberry have
been presidents, and which has frequently
led Liberal revolutions, publishes a reso
lution which Is regarded In some quar
ters as tantamount to an invitation to
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to retire
from the Liberal leadership of the House
of Commons. The resolution acknowl
edges the great services of Sir Henry,
but In the next sentence welcomes with
greatest satisfaction the return of Lord
Roseberry to active political lire ana pro
foundly trusts his gifts and statesman
ship will again be placed at the disposal
of the party.
Pe La ney May SHrrender.
LONDON, Dec 19. The Associated
Press learns that the War Office has come
Into possession of a cipher telegram pur
porting to have been sent by the Boer
Commandant De La Rey, stating that he
could not hold out longer than January.
According to the correspondent of the
Times at Pretoria, De La Rey is believed
to be 40 miles northwest of Klerksdorp,
with about 40fr.men.
The War Office Is taking a more hope
ful view of the war than It has taken
at any previous time.
Anstrlan Comment on Speech.
NEW YORK. Dec. 19. The Vienna cor
respondent of the London Times and New
York Times says that since the days of
Beaconsfleld and Gladstone no speech of
a British statesman has excited such keen
interest as Lord Rosebery's address at
Chesterfield. It is regretable, however,
says the correspondent, that the Vienna
papers did not wait for the full text be
fore commenting on fthe speech, as the
brief telegraphic summary available clear
ly led them to erroneous conclusions.
Loadon LaTryer la a Scrape.
LONDON, Dec. 19. Arthur S. Francis,
a lawyer, who until recently had a unm
ber of wealthy and aristocratic clients,
was arrested today on a warrant charging
him with misappropriation of 5000 of

Orkney. Just prior to his arrest Francis
had appeared in the bankruptcy court,
where his examination disclosed an in
debtedness of 78,000, with assets of
10.000.
Belgian Sngnr Industry Threatened.
BRUSSELS, Dec 19. During the debate
on the budget in the Chamber of Depu
ties today, M. Glroul advocated financial
assistance for the sugar industry. He
said he hoped the international sugar
conference would decide in favor of the
abolition of bounties, but. In the mean
while, unless the government came to Its
rescue, the Belgian sugar Industry would
perish, owing to the unfavorable condi
tions under which it competes in the in
ternational markets.

Hotr to Preveat Croup.
It will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that croup can be
Srevented. The first sign of the disease Is
oarsencss. A day or two before the at
tack the child 1 ecomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough cough.

as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
It will dispel all symptoms of croup. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. That remedy is used In this way

never been known to fall. It Is, in fact,
the only remedy that can always be de

safe to take. For- sale by all druggists.

EXPLOSION. AT A FURNACE
TEX MEX MET A FItlGHTFUL DEATH
AT PITTSBURG.
Caught In 3IIdaIr "Without Opportu
nity to Escape and l'erlihed In
Sight of Many Spectators.
PITTSBURG, Dec. 19. Ten men were
burned to death and four injured by an
explosion of gas at the Soho furnace
of Jones & Laughlln, Ltd... in Second ave
nue near Brady street today. The ex
plosion was caused by a slip in the fur
nace, and gas and flames belched upward
through the bell. The men were on the
furnace platform S5 feet above the
ground. The dead are:
ANDREW SEIGH. 20 years old, single.
GEORGE SHISUL. 20. leaves wife and
two children.
GEORGE SEMAGO, 29, single.
MICHAEL MILO. 22. single.
MICHAEL GASEDOVISE, 25, leaves
wife and three children.
JOHN MAZEY, 37. leaves wife and
three children.
JOHN KERECKE. 22, single.
JOSEPH FRANKOWIEZ, 26. single.
JOHN KLOCHANKA, 26. single.
GEORGE VALIGO, 36, leaves wife and
three children.
Those injured are: John Yongsho, 25.
not expected to recover, frightfully
burned about the face and body; John
Sabola, 25, not expected to recover,
burned all over the body; Michael Pe
trovich, 23, will recover, and John Tro
losky. There were 19 men on the furnace when
the explosion occurred. Fifteen of them
were caught in the flames, two of them
escaping with slight Injury. The othor
four were the regular men employed as
top illlers and escaped without Injury.
The explosion was caused by the gas
becoming encased in a crust of cinder
formed at the bottom of the furnace.
A wheelbarrow containing ore had been
sent up to the men and when they went
to dump it Into the bell of the furnace,
they pushed It over too far and It rolled
Into the hopper. Tho narrow weighed
900 pounds and was too heavy for the
four men to raise. The 15 laborers, all
Hungarians, were then sent up to assist
them. Had It not, been for the barrow
accident no one would have been hurt,
as the regular men knew how to pro
tect themselves at such times, as simi
lar explosions are of frequent occurrence.
"When the gas exploded tons of molten
metal, cinders and slag were thrown over
them. They made a rush for the ele
vator, but it had gone down, and there
was no escape.
Eye witnesses say there was a loud re
port, and the murky heavens were il
luminated with a great sheet of flame,
showing the men on top of tho furnace
running about, gesticulating wildly. Tho
flames and hot metal looked like a vol
cano in action. Five of the men were
blown off the top of the furnace, and
theso are the ones that are still living.
The others hung on the rail, some on the
outside and some on the Inside, until
their fingers were burned off. They then
fell to the roof of the mill, dead.
The most distressing feature of the
disaster was the burning of Frankowlez.
He was seen by hundreds of people to
turn to the platform railing and leap
Into the air. He fell on the stockyard
shed and was literally burned to death,
before the eyes of the crowd, 50 feet be
low, who had no way to reach him.
"When the explosion occurred burning
heaps of cinders settled around the men
almost knee-deep. Their shrieks were
terrible and their frantic efforts to save
themselves were pitiful In the extreme.

KANSAS TRAGEDY.
"Wealthy Real Estate Man and His
'Wife "Were 3Iurdered.
PARSONS, Kan., Dec. 19. One of the
worst crimes since the Bender atrocities
was brought to light here this afternoon
when the lifeless and distorted bodies of
Colonel John Bull and his wife were
found In the bedroom of their new home
Jn this city. They had undoubtedly been
murdered. The officers have not succeeded
In finding the faintest clew that will aid
them In finding- the criminals.
Yesterday G. S. Anderson, a real estate
man, desired to transact some business
with Colonel Bull and went to his house
for that purpose. He could not gain ad
mittance. He returned today, and, not
being able to rouse anybody, he decided

THE ANTI-EXCLUSIONISrS
THEIR REASONS FOR. ADMITTING
THE CHINESE.
"William Lloyd Garrison' Address at
a Boston Meeting: Last
Evening-.
BOSTON. Dec. 19. William Lloyd Gar
rison presided over a meeting in the
Broomfield-Street Methodist Episcopal
Church tonight at which resolutions were
adopted against the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion act. Besides Mr. Gar
rison, Rev. Mr. Johnson, of San Fran
cisco; Yong Hay, a Chinese clergyman of
this city, and others spoke. In tho
course of his address, Mr. Garrison said:
"We are here tonight as Americans to
protest against America's injustice in
dealing with a sister nation. "We can
not forget that our ancestors themselves
were Immigrants with no prescriptive
right to enter this country. The sweep
ing objection to the Chinese Is that thy
cannot assimilate with Americans; they
earn money here and send It back to
China; their manner of living Is inexpen
sive and they are small consumers; they
huddle together In great numbers; crime
and unchastity abound with them; in
short, their Influence Is corrupting and
they must go
"As regards assimilation. It Is hard to
assimilate with a man who flourishes a
bludgeon over your head. The Chinese
earn and send money to their relatives at
home. So do many other nationalities.
"Why should the Chinese be blamed for
such a natural and kindly act? The
Chinese compete with the American labor
and underbid it. They were in reality
brought to this country because American
labor could not be obtained to build rail
roads and reclaim waste tracts of land.
The Chinese live cheaply. That is their
privilege. In old times this used to be
considered a New England virtue. As
regards consumption of domestic prod
ucts it has been made a grievance that
they do not patronize the saloons. The
Chinese huddle together In unhealthy
quarters and form plague spots, It is as
serted. Persecuted people naturally
combine and are forced to be clannish.
They swarm in contracted and unsani
tary precincts because prejudice closes
the door of better situations. Unchastity
exists. Yes. "Where race hostility pro
hibits men bringing- with them wives and
daughters with a view to permanent fam
ily life, what else Is possible.
"The question of civic corruption Is
too large to consider In this connection.
It Is notorious that United States officials
find heavy revenues In their connivance
at smuggling Chinese immigrants across
the border. The higher the bars are
put up the greater the price of assist
ance. My own conviction Is that few
Chinamen are really kept out by string
ent laws."
Payne "Will Not Discuss Ills Policy.
MILWAUKEE, "Wis., Dec. 19. Henry U.
Payne, the newly appointed Postmaster
General, arrived in Milwaukee from the
East tonight. Mr. Payne declined to be
Interviewed in regard to his policy as
Postmaster-General. He said the port
folio was the only one on the list that
he would have accepted, and It came to

him personally through President Roose
velt. Mr. Payne expects to leave for
"Washington about the end of the first
week of January.
In regard to a statement to the effect
that he was to succeed M. A. Hanna, a3
the head of the Republican party, Mr.
Payne said: "There Is nothing whatever
in that statement. No man. in this Na
tion will more sincerely rejoice at my ap
pointment than Mr. Hanna. Between he
and I there Is probably as close a per
sonal as well as political friendship as
existed between any two men In the
United States. All this talk of friction be
tween the President. Mr. Hanna and my
self Is the sheerest nonsense."
SENATOR SEWELL IS WORSE
Ills Family Fears That the End Is
Close at Hand.
CAMDEN. N. J., Dec. 19. United States
Senator Sewell's condition Is critical to
night, and the members of his family
fear death will ensue soon. Two physi
cians are in constant attendance tonight.
Senator Sewell has been in ill health for
some time. About two years ago he broko
down from overwork, but soon recovered
sufficiently to resume his many duties. He
did not entirely recover his health, how
ever, and towards the end of the last
session of Congress he developed a com
"pllcatlon of diseases. The Senator's
physicians realized that he was a very
sick man and advised him. to go abroad.
He remained In Europe about three
months, and when he returned his con
dition showed no Improvement. After a
short stay at his Camden home he went
to Asheville, N. d, where he spent two
months, and returned to this city about
two weeks ago. He has since been con
fined to his room.
CAMDEN. N. J.f Dec. 20. At 3:30 A. M.
Senator Sewell was in a semi-comatose
condition, and the physicians say he may
die at any moment.
3:30 A. M. Senator Sewell, during- the
last hour, has shown a slight improve
ment. He is now sleeping. Dr. Paul M.
Macray, one of the attending physicians,
said that there Is now no imminent dan
ger of death.
A Wig
You don't see very many
wigs nowadays. 'People have
been educated how to care
for the hair. That's one
reason. Another is, Ayer's
Hair Vigor makes wigs un
necessary. Nothing its equal
for feeding the hair.
"For many years my hair has come
out so fast every winter that I hac
to wear a wig. I tried Ayer's Hai
Vigor. It stopped the falling, and mad
my hair grow so that last winter I die
not use my wig at all."
