Revolution.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Th report
that the revolutionary administration un
der Uem-ral Kstraria contemplates an
earlv proclamation of the Independence
of the Atlantic Coast states of Nicar
agua as a republic seems to have basis
in fact At any rate it is believed that
thia proposed step is backed by almost
universal public sentiment In these states.
The State Department has received an
official dispatch from Nicaragua to that
general efftct and the ofllclala would not
be. surprised at the issue of a declaration
of Independence shortly.
It Is well known here among diplo
mats and others well Informed that the
State Department is in full (sympathy
with the revolutionary movement and
would welcome any change that would
result In the retirement of Zelaya.
NICARAGUA MAY BE DIVIDED
Secession of Eastern Portion of Re
public Contemplated.
BLUEFIBLDS, NIc. Oct. 29. It is an
nounced here that Don Rodolfo Esplnosa,
the Nica.-aKuan Minister at Washington,
whose r-?.ianatlon has been accepted by
President Zelaya. will represent General
Kstrada. president of the provisional gov
ernment, In a similar capacity.
The question of the secession of the
eastern portion of Nicaragua, from which
every vestige of Zelayan authority
has been removed, and the declaration
of a separate republic, is seriously con
templated. General Manaena. who commanded the
defeated Zelayan troops at the battle of
Boca San Cailon. with M men. has joined
the revolutionary General Chamoro.

upon being; asked to read his
notes, was seized with such a bad
case of rattles that he had to be ex
cused while a newspaper man took: his
place.
sio far It had been easy sailing, but
when the question of a referee was
raised the crowd followed the conversa
tion expectantly. Little, for Johnson,
wanted to name his choice. For the
first time Jeffriea broke in. "Let the
club that gets tne Dia nave a wore ne
ordered. "They have as much at stake
as we have. Let it wait." Little was
for arguing the point, but Johnson was
all conciliation.
"Woll, let It go," he urged. "That's all
right."
The number of rounds waa next in
order.
Jeff Satisfies Public.
"So far as I go," said Jeffries. "I don't
care if it's tor tlx, ten. 20 or 100 rounds,
but I know what the public will demand
and I am going to see that they get
it it wants a finish."
To this the crowd cheered until Bob
Hu.-phy had to demand order. But John
son was not satisfied. lie feared a San
FTancJeco club, where only 20-round
bouts are allowed, might get the bid and
In that event Insisted 20 rounds should
be specified.
"Then Frisco won't get the fight." an
nounced Jeffries, decisively. "Make It 45
rounds or more."
Swallowing hts objections previously
voiced, the negro agreed volubly.
There was still the rocft on which most
agreements 6plit division of the purse.
Both men protested they were willing to
fight, winner take all, 60 and 40 per
cent, or 75 and 23 per cent; and on the
latter basis it was settled.
Boilermaker Wants $20,000.
Tl ride bet caused more difficulty. Jeff
wanted to wager $30,000. Johnson, more
cautious, offered $W0- Little, his man
ager, wanted to lay the momy at ring
aide odds, "as a business proposition."
As a compromise they agreed to let the
$5000 already posted to secure today's
meeting stand, with 000 additional to be
added forthwith.
"All right," assented Jeffries, plain
tively, "but I wanted that Hu.OOO."
A great roar of laughter went up in
the crowd and even Johnson grinned.
Bob Murphy, manager of ' the Hotel
Albany, was chosen as temporary stake
holder, the final stakeholder to be chosen
by the club.
"No. suh," said Johnson, "I has a say
where my money goes.'
"The club has mora to say than either
of us," put in Berger.
Nepro Backs Down.
"No man has more to say about my
money than I has," affirmed Johnson,
shaking his head yet he yielded while
protesting.
Now, only one -crucial point remained
when would they fight?
As a finish fight had been agreed upon
it was the consensus of opinion at the
ms'ehu.akerB' table that either Nevada
or California must get the winning bid.
Wtth SO days for the bids to come in and
CO days more for the men to condition
themselves in, the weather at the earliest
would be too wet In California and too
cold in Nevada. Both men agreed that,
to arcommodat the huge crowds sure
to attend, toe bout must be held out of
d.Hrs. Berger further urged the neces
sity for ample training time. And it was
formally settled thnt a day "Not later
than July 5. 1P10," be chosen. The deal
was closed.
Flashlight Men Busy.
Again the principals posed for the flash
light men, champagne was served while
the articles were being typewritten, and
at 6:40 the bonding signs were affixed
and witnessed.
The articles follow:
"An agreement, entered into this day
between Jack Johnson and James J. Jef
fries, provides for the following:
"1. They agree to box for the heavy
weight championship of the world.
"A They agree to box before the club

Jeffries returned from Europe a week
ago and Johnson came east from Chi
cago yesterday for the meeting today.
Both men have many theatrical offers
and both their managers said that they
probably would "scoop in a little ex
pense money" before going into active
training. Jeffries has been doing gym
nasium work since his arrival here.

WASHINGTON. Oct 29. "I do not be
lieve Bryan 'will be the next Democratic
candidate for the President." said Nor
man E. Mack, chairman of the Demo
cratic National, Committee today.
Asked who he thought the next Dem
ocratic candidate would be, Mr. Mack
declared that, due to hla position, he
could not play favorites.
"Haven't you published the fact that
Judson Harmon. Governor of Ohio,
would be your choice?"
"No: his speech made In Dallas and
his picture were published Just as have
been those of other prominent Demo
crats. There is no doubt, however, that
Governor Harmon Is growing In strength
throughout the country. He is an able
man, and a the Democratic leader who
won in a Republican state, he is gain
ing more and more popularity.
"But there is Marshall, Governor of
Indiana, who turned the same trick on
the Republicans in his state that Harrl
man did In Ohio. He. too, is coming
ahead fast as a National figure."
BALuIN BURY HATCHET
MURPHY AND HERRMANN FIX
UP DIFFERENCES.

In Dispute Between Magnates.
They Shake and Smile.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 29. All the differ
ences and managerial abrasions result
ing from the sharp correspondence be
tween President Charles Murphy, of the
Chicago National League baseball club,
and Chairman August Herrmann, of the
National Baseball Commission, have
been smoothed over and healed by the
diplomacy of Charles P. Taft, who owns
a 25 per cent interest in the Chicago
club.
When the dispute between Murphy
and Herrmann over the purchase of
Pfeffer, of the Toronto club, and Cole,
of the Bay City club, by Murphy, re
cently became acute. Taft arranged a
conference between Murphy and Herr
mann. In Taft's office' today Murphy and
Herrmann shook hands and renewed old
friendships.
As a result of the meeting, however,
the $500 fine imposed by the National
Commission against the Chicago club
over the Pfeffer matter remains intact,
and also Murphy must pay $1500 for
Cole as a direct purchase, instead of
$300 on a draft4

From Alaska.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Oct. 29.
Details of the recent Bevere gales that
have caused heavy damage to shipping in
the North were brought tonight by the
hrigantine Geneva. 21 days out from
Nome. The brigantlne fought 13 days to
gain a passage through Bering Sea to
the Pacific and with a favorable change
of wind, covered the last of the voyage
from Unimak Pass to Cape Flattery in
steamer time of eight days.
The storm, which reached Its crest last
Friday, has been the most severe in re
cent years.
Added to difficulties of navigation, the
Geneva experienced trouble with sailors,
who refused to obey orders.
One sailor, believed to be Insane, was
landed in irons. During a critical sailing
moment the man attacked Captain Scott
and succeeded In destroying the main
compass before he was overpowered.

Women Church Workers.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 29. Notwithstand
ing the recent business depression, more
money was raised during the last year
by the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Episcopal Church

of the organization. This was made
known In reports at today's session of the
40th annual convention- of the society's
general executive committee.
A new school in Rome. Italy, will be
built, the necessary no.0"0 having been

ABERDEEN. S. D.. Oct. 29. Turn
ing away tearfully from the final day
of the drawing of the names of win
ners In the Cheyenne River and Stand
ing Rock reservations, Mrs. Sylvia R.
Qlllard of Sandusky, Ohio, a widow
aged 60 years, today glanced idly at
the printed list of winners upon the!

est disappointment of her life, but de
cided on one more look, because for
days she hod passed hours at the draw
ing in the vain hope that she would
hear her name. Slowly turning the
pages, she was thrilled to see her own
name opposite No. 433S as the winner
of that choice claim.
Prayers Are Answered.
"Thank God," she said, "my prayer
has been answered." With tears
streaming down her face, she rushed
back to the platform, to know if it
were really true. Shaking hands with
Judge Wltten and all his deputies, she
sang in Joy. She had worked nights in
a hotel to pay her way .to Aberdeen.
When her name was called she -was
dozing. The drawing of the 20,000
names ended today.
The task of tabulating the names
will continue for a month.
WJtten Answers Hill.
. Judge Witten, speaking today of the
attack made on the method of the open
ing by Louis W.Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railroad, at the Dry
Farming Congress, said Mr. Hill was
misquoted or misinformed, as he would
not have made such "grossly extra
vagant statements" had he known the
facts. Mr. Hill was reported as hav
ing called the recent Flathead, Coeur
d'Alene and Spokane registration a
"swindle," and said:
'It is estimated that 300,000 people
went out there. We received our por
tion of the money and we do not want
that kind of money."
Figures Grossly Misleading.
"These figures are grossly mislead
ing," said Judge Witten. "The com
bined registration for all three was
but 286.848 and one-third of that num
ber, or 95.616, represents the number
of applicants who had registered three
times."
Judge Witten said Mr. Hill could
easily ascertain from the Government
records who went out there, if he
wanted to pay back the money paid to
the Great Northern Railroad.
The Judge later announced that he
would be prepared to furnish Mr. Hill
with the names of all persons who reg
istered at Kalispell if the Great North
ern wanted to refund their money for
fares.
Milton Weidler, of Portland, drew
claim No. 12,986; H. A. Smith, of Port
land, drew No. 13.982.

In the foregoing dispatch, is secretary
of the Portland Fire Department. He
explained last night that, as he Is a
veteran of the Civil War, he was not re
quired to. make application for the filing
in person, but submitted it by mail, at
the Bame time appointing a person at
