FIGHT 18 ONE FOR BLOOD
Both Men Bear Marks of the
Fierce Gruelling.
WIFE OF EX-CHAMPION THERE
Ab Soon as the Match Is Oyer, She
Climbs 'into the Ring and Plants
a Kiss on the Swollen Lips
of Her Husband.
PHILADELPHIA, July 23. Robert Fltz
sImmon3 and Jack O'Brien today fought
the fastest six-round bout ever -witnessed
in this city between men of their -weight.
When the gong announced the close, of
the fight, both men were on their feet and
they both bore the marks of the gruelling
which they had Just gone through. Fitz
slmmons' "lips were twice their normal
size and his lft ee was almost closed,
while O'Brien's left eye was also cut
and swollen.
While O'Brien landed the greater num
ber of blows they did not do nearly so
much damage as those landed by Fltz
Elmmons, and the latter was the fresher
of the two at the close of the fight. There
was not a clean knockdown during the
bout, but three times O Brlen went to the
flool, twice in endeavoring to get away
from Fitzslmmons. and the third time
partly from Fitzslmmons right, which
landed on O'Brien's neck, and party
through the latter's feet getting tangled.
The fight was held on the National
League ball grounds, the ring being
pitched immediately over the home plate.
It was the first open-air boxing exhibition
ever given in this city, and the novelty
of the affair drew a crowd of about GOOD
persons. Mayor Weaver had prevented
the first meeting between the men, hold
ing it was to be a prizefight, and, there
fore, illegal. Later, the fight promoters
went into the Common Pleas Court and
satisfied the Judges that it was to be a
boxing exhibition and within the scope
of the law. Under this agreement, a per
mit was granted for the bout. There were
many - rumors that tha men hod an.
understanding not to exert themselves,
but such rumors were dissipated before
the close of the first round.
Mrs. Fitrsimmons Is There.
There was a liberal sprinkling of women
in the grandstand and sitting close to
the ringside was Mrs. Fitzslmmons, who,
for the first time, was to witness her hus
band fight. She never took her ees off
her husband during the six rounds, and
when Fitzslmmons sat down at the close
of the fight, his wife rushed over to his
corner, climbed the steps leading to the
ring and planted a kiss on the badly swol
len Hp3 of her husband.
There were four preliminaries which
served to keep the spectators in a good
humor. Five o'clock was the hour set for
the men to enter the ring, but it was
5.03 before Fitzslmmons, accompanied by
Billy Lester, Benny Murphy, Joe Edmont
son and Charley Valdge, his seconds,
made his appearance. Seven minutes later
O'Brien came on. He was looked after by
Lew Bailey, Joe Hagan, Billy McCarney
and Billy Reynolds. A long wrangle en
sued over the kind of bandages worn by
Fitzslmmons. Underneath the strips of
muslin were, O'Brien alleged, plaster
bandages. O'Brien said the- bandages
must come off or there would be no fight.
Fitzslmmons replied: "Then there will be
no fight"
After keeping the spectators waiting for
10 minutes, Fitzslmmons removed the
plaster. Each man selected his own
gloves,, and at 5:28 they were called to the
center of the ring' by the referee and
given their-Instructions. At 5:30 the gong
sounded and the battle was on.
O'Brien began with dazzling footwork,
darting in and out with wonderful clever
ness, landing lefts and an occasional
right, while Fitzslmmons was content to
block, evidently endea-vorlng to land on
O'Brien's wind. This opportunity came
near the close of the second round, when
he drove his right to O'Brien's body with
terrific force. The first three rounds were
in O'Brien's favor, but after that he grew
a trifle slow, from the awful pace that
he had set, and Fitzslmmons was able
tq get some hard blows on the body.
Both men were covered with blood when
they went to their corners at the close
of the fifth round, O'Brien bleeding from
a gash over the left eye and Fitzslmmons
from the mouth and nose. Both men
were In distress when the sixth round
closed, but Fitzslmmons was apparently
in better condition.
THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
O'Brien Has Better of It at First, but
Pace He Sets Soon Tells.
PHILADELPHIA, July 23. The Fitz-slmmons-O'Brien
fight, by rounds fol
lows: .. '

and tho latter drew the blood from Fitz
slmmons' mouth. Jack again landed a

without a return. O'Brien then knocked
the stain oft Fitzslmmons' nose with a
light upper cut and drew the blood In a
stream from his mouth. FItzslmmona
missed a ferocious right and Jack, In
attempting to get away, fell to the floor.
O'Brien had all the best of the round.

Jaw, and as the latter rushed in Fltz
drove hia right to the stomach. O'Brien

mons' Jaw, bringing the blood again.
Fitzslmmons was unable to land with
success on O'Brlon up to this' time.
O'Brien cut Fitzslmmons' left eye with
a short right, and a moment later caught
him lull in the mouth. O'Brien's foot
work was marvelous, and Fitzslmmons
wad badly winded. Bob landed a hard
right to the stomach as tho bell sounded,
which was the most damaging blow that
O'Brien had yet received.
Round 3 The men danced about the
ring, and then Fitzslmmons missed a
hard right for the Jaw. He landed a light
left on O'Brien's stomach, and the latter
drove a straight left to Fltsslnuaons'

I1G BRIDGE IS GPEN
Crosses the Fraser at New
Westminster.
RESULT OF AMERICAN BRAINS
Lieutenant-Governor of British Co
lumbia Drives Spike That Formally
Connects Vancouver With Rail
ways From United States.
NEW "WESTMINSTER, B. C, July 23.
(Special.) This afternoon amid tooting of
whistles Sir Henri Joly De Lotblniere, K.
C, M. G., Lieutenant-Governor of British
Columbia, formally opened the $1,000,000
steel bridge across the Fraser River at.
New Westminster, by coming Into the
city In his private train over the railway
portion of the bridge, driving with a sil
ver hammer the golden spike, then riding
over the trafflcway of the bridge in his
carriage.
This immense steel structure, spanning
the Fraser River is Half a mile long and
has been built for steam, electric and
vehicular traffic, the principal object
being to give the Great Northern Railway
passage over the Fraser River ta con
nect with its lino running from this city
Into Vancouver. This large bridge Is
built on 11 concrete and granite piers, the
concrete being a production from Fort
land, while the granite was obtained from
the coast of British Columbia. In a num
ber of instances the Claw dredge had to
be used to clear the rip-rap from the
bottom of the river to make way for the
large caissons or cribs that formed the
foundation for a pier. The caissons have
two walls inclosing a well Into which the
concrete Is poured when the crib reaches
solid bottom.
In tho construction of several piers
solid bottom was not reached until 170
feet had been cut through. All the piers
project above water level 31 feet but ex
tend down from 62 feet to 170 feet, the
former being near the river bank and the
latter next the channel, which Is not in
the center of the river, but several hun
dred feet toward the north bank. Over
the channel the swing span, 380 feet long
and weighing S40 tons, allows of a pass
age on either sldo of the pier of ISO feet,
large enough for the Pacific merchant
men that come up tho river to do busi
ness in New "Westminster and its north
eastern suburb, Sapperton. This bridge is
unique in its approaches, no other bridge
in Canada being- so constructed. On the
north bank a. bluff 100 feet high rises al
most from the watar'a edgeand to pre
vent cutting Into thte and destroying the
main street of the city the northern an-
nroach was doubbr constructed. Dfversrinir

leave the bridge by curved lines at a 10
per cent curve till a level Is struck at a
23-foot drop.
The bridge is double-decked, the railway
being on the lower deck and the vehicular
trafflcway above. Waddell & Hendricks,
of Kansas City, were the engineers, while
H. K. Seltzer, a mere boy in his early
20a carried out all their wishes and doing
the headwork of every bit of construc
tion. Even when it was found that the
river was too deep in places to permit of
false-work to be constructed for the sub
erection of the spans he devised the plan
whereby the spans were built near the
shore and floated out on scows to their
permanent positions while thousands of
people stood on the shore gazing in awe
at the large steel spans gracefully mov
ing nearly a mile Into position.
The substructure was erected by Arm
strong. Morrison & Balfour, known as
the big three, their total avoirdupois
amounting to 750 pounds. But this did not
deter their work which is a magnificent
piece of construction in concrete and
granite. The steel work was put on by
the Dominion Steel Company, under the
supervision of J. Julien, of Montreal.
After the ceremony of opening was per
fected, Messrs. Armstrong, Morrison &
Co. gave an official luncheon in honor of
the occasion.

VANCOUVER BARRACKS. July 23.
(Special.) Lieutenant-General A. R. Chaf
fee, of the United States Army, and party
arrived at this post from Tacoma today,
on a tour of Inspection of the military
posts of the Pacific Coast. General Chaf
fee will remain here for several days,
inspecting tho command Monday, then
continuing his tour to California. He Is
accompanied by his wife, son and daugh
ter, and Quartermaster-General C. F.
Humphrey, Captain Grote Hutcheson,
Slxthv Cavalry; Captain Harper, Third
Cavalry, and F. J. Hogan, hl3 secretary.
General Chaffee and General Humphrey
were met at the Vancouver depot at 4
o'clock by General Funston and his per
sonal staff and escorted to the Barracks
to the house of Major F. G. Hodgson,
whose guests they are to be during their
stay. .They spent the afternoon quietly,
and In the evening were tendered a recep
tion at the Officers' Club by General and
Mrs. Funston. On account of the limited
quarters only a small number of outside
people were asked, officials, and officers of
commercial bodies of Portland. They were
taken over from the city on a special car
in care of Colonel W. F. Tucker.
Sitting on the verandah of Major Hodg
son's house, overlooking the parado
ground, the Columbia River and the Cas
cade Mountains in the hazy distance.
General Chaffee and General Humphrey
were found this afternoon by an Ore
gonian representative.
"I have known many officers who have
rbeen stationed at these barracks," said
General Chaffee, "and they have all liked
It so much that I have wondered what
was the attraction. Now that I have
come, I see."
General Chaffee has never been on this
Coast before, having served In the East.
South and Southwest. He Is here merely
on a tour of Inspection, and did not come
on account of the American Lake en
campment. Quartermaster-General Humphrey, who
created considerable newspaper discussion
in the Sound cities by the simple remark
that In shipping supplies to the Philip
pines he could not please all the cities
whlen wished to be the port of shipment,
was inclined to speak on the subject. As
the man by whom contracts for feed and
grain to be shipped to the Philippines
are awarded, every word he drops on the
subject might be considered golden, but he
himself laughs at the seriousness with
which his remark, made at a dinner at
the Union Club in Tacoma, was received.
"I had merely said that It was Impos
sible to please the three cities, Portland
Seattle and Tacoma, all at the same
time, and afterwards I was met with
wide-eyed surprise and asked If I really
said that,"
General Humphrey went on immediately
to speak of the protests that were made
at the awarding of the contract for hay
for the Philippines some time ago. Tha
facts of that case are that the Gov
ernment called for bids for hay for im
mediate shipment. Portland and the Puget
Sound cities had nothing but last year's
hay, which was of fine quality, but dear.
San Francisco, counting on the near fu
ture harvesting of this year's crop, bid
lower, and on a different and Inferior
class of hay. Portland and the Sound
were prepared to furnish timothy. The
transport DIx Is now being loaded with
oat hay at San Francisco. The merchants
of the latter city having tlus year's crop
at hand could bid much lower, and wero
awarded the contract. The fact that the
Northwest ports were not given a chance
to bid on the new crop and were fur
nishing a much superior grade of hay has
brought forth their complaint.
Regarding; these facts General Humph
rey said:
"The awarding of these contracts lx
merely a matter of accepting lowest bids.
I could not undertake to say whether the
timothy hay were worth $4 more than,
the oat hay, and so I had to ship tho
oat hay. Now the matter of the valuo
of the different kinds of hay for Army
use is being taken up by a military board
consisting of quartermasters, officers of
the line and artillery officers, and they
will come to some decision to guide me
by. but at the time of the awarding of tho
contract objected to, and right now, I
have no choice but take the lowest
bid as long as the hay is goad. I prefer
timothy hay, but I am not prepared to ex
plain to the Treasury Department that it
is worth $4 more than, oat."
General Humphrey was Chief Quarter
master in the Philippines for three years
and is welL informed on the kind of feed
necessary for that country and tha facili
ties for shipment from this Coast. In tho
case of this last shipment discussed ho
had expected that the lowest bid would
come from Portland or the Sound and or
dered the Dlx to report to tho Sound for
future orders, but he could not escape
the fact that the lowest bid came from
San Francisco, and ordered the transport
to report there to receive cargo.
PIAHS FOE NEW C0LUEES.
The Navy Department Will Probably
Build One on the Coast.
WASHINGTON. July 23. The Navy De
partment has decided upon tho plans for
two new naval colliers, although nothing
can be done toward building- them, until
Congress provides the facilities at two
navy-yards for doing the work. They
wjli be 450 feet In length, 60 feet beam and
2C feet draught, deep load, in which con
dition the displacement will be 12,500 tons.
The colliers will carry from 5700 to 7500
tons.
It Is probable that one -of them will be
built at the New York Navy-yard, and
the other at Mare Island or at Puget
Sound.
