From tho standpoint of the aver se spectator It would have been "mslng If less effort had been re Ired to reach tho arena. Tho fight s practically ended the moment 3 gong sounded for the men to ad nco to tho center of tho ring. That e defensive skill of tho Australian fis exceedingly poor was speedily at- ssted, for In ten seconds ho was (one upon tho mat. A woll directed yght from Burns fist struck him flush bon the jaw. It did not havo force lough behind it to give Squires his uletus and after tho count of four he rose in wobbly fashion and rushed it Burns.

But .he end was not yet.

But Squires had lie defense left. A terrific right to w Jaw had accomplished Its work littho men were barely In position iBf when the Canadian resumed iils effective aggressive campaign. Burns landed whero and when he pleased and In a few seconds, under a rain of blows, tho arms of the Aus tralian dropped in hapless fashion by his side. Finish of Fight. Then tho finish to the fight came. Burns dollborately selected his mark and sent his right to tho point of tho jaw. It seemed almost a needless task for Jeffries to go through the formality of counting the man out. There was no spectator in the arena that did not realize that the fight was over and a rush was made to tho ring to congratulate tho victor. Tho fight lasted two minutes and eight seconds. When Squires was seen after the fight ho said ho had been led to be lieve that Burns was not a "Knock orout." Ho said he had been told Burns did not possess tho strength to put a man to sleep with blows and this belief had made him carelesa at the beginning of tho contest, which Secretary Metcalf In Interview at Oakland Report of U.

"I havo all along held there was piactlcally no signflcance to this movement from a military standpoint." The Secretary said he could have made the announcement before com ing west, but thought so far as he was coming to tho Pacific coast It would be appropriate to make It on this day. Metcalf says It will here after bo tho policy to keep battleships In American waters Instead of send ing the mon foreign cruises, as he hlnks American ports should have tho benefit of the money spent by them rather than foreign ports.

Boise, July 4. At the adjourn ment of the Steuenberg trial yester day the prosecution served notice of its Intention to submit a series of mo tions to strike out tho evidence of the defense, unless the connecting up tes timony that had been promised is forthcoming. Clarence Darrow, for the defense had prveiously announced his side might be able to rest Satur day evening, although it might be necessary to let the calling of Hay wood and Moyer go over until Mon day and following an informal con ference with the counsel, Judge Wood directed the prosecution to be ready Monday with Its case In rebuttal. James H. Hawley, senior counsel for the state, said in reply it was the intention of tho prosecution to present a series of motions dealing with the evidence of the defense. Darrow and Richardson were on their feet In an instant to say tho de fenso would have some motions to make, so at the end of the veek or the early part of next week the tak ing of testimony will probably be In terrupted for extended argument on the admissibility of a mass of evi dence already in record. The defense operated today along nearly all its lines. Thero were attacks on Or chard's testimony at several points. There was the showing of the union miners who had been abused by the mine owners and militia at Cripple Creek and Tellurlde; that tho PInkerton agents had advised vio lence and endeavored to prolong the strike. A woman who served with tho relief committee that looked atfer the families of the deported miners at Cripple Creek swore she had twice been arrested and twice warned If she persisted In her work sho would be deported, and another woman lo cated Orchard with Detectives Scott and Sterling the night of the second attempt to wreck the Florence and Cripple Creek railway train. Two wltneses were men who fig ured conspicuously In the testimony of Orchard. They wero David Coates, formerly lieutenant governor of Colo rado, and Pat Moran, cormerly saloon-keeper at Cheyenne. Coates posi tively denied Orchard's version of tho plot to kidnap tho children of August Paulson and Moran denied ho made the trip from Cheyenne to Den vor after tho Independence station had been blown up for tho purpose of getting $500 from Pettlbone for Or chard.

Tho officers professed to be satisfied with the statement and departed. Ruhl boarded the train for Boston and Frank went to his home in North Adams, about 25 miles from this city. Later Deputy Frank paid another visit to the farm, driving out se cretly. He proceeded through a wooded driveway into an open spaco in front of tho house and recognized Rockefeller sitting on the piazza.

Washington, July 4. For many months the Navy Department has been planning to establish a great coaling station and naval baso at Klska Island, In the Aleutian chain. It Is learned now that tho project has been abandoned and tho deci sion Is laid to tho difficulty of de fending such a station In tho event of war with Japan. In tho summer of 1904 a naval expondltlon was sent to tho Aleu tian Islands, soundings wero made of he good natural harbor of Klska, a store houso for tools was estab lished and a careful estimate of tho cost of a coaling station was made. Tho officers of tho general board wore Impressed with tho proposition to esabllsh a coaling station having a capacity of at least 250,000 tons of conl, with completo modem faci lities for coaling ships of war. It now appears that tho opinion of tho members of tho general board has changed, and no secret is mado of tho fact that tho projoct has been abandoned. It Is believed that tho problem of rendering tho station de fensible In time or war was ono of tho considerations which led to chango of front. 5ft vr 1
