Washinoton, May 23. The inter

was made of and unjust dis
crimination in the rate3 on re

San Francisco to Kansas City, Mo.,
and 85 ceuts per 100 lb3., Trbm San
Francisco to If umboldt, more than a
hundred miles distance, but not on a
through line to Kansas City.
The commission hold that the
lower rate to Kansas City, is forced
on tlie carriers by competition, by
conditions beyond their control, and
the rate to "Humboldt from San
Francisco not being unreasonable
in itself, but lower than it would be
except for these competitive conditions
at Kansas City, nud it not appearing
that substantial injustice results from
a higher rate to Unmboldt, I his rate
and the lower one to Kansas City are
not found to lie iu contravention of
the statutes.

of the canal, says the wholo will be cut
through impermeable soil; the water
in the reservoirs will not be subject to
diminution. Tho surveys have proved
that precautions could bo taken to
counteract the evil effects of earth
quakes. A number of the captains of sailing
craft on this coast have been notified
of a novel sort of competition, namely
in the use of oil at sea. From the
replies of several sailing-masters it
appears that considerable interest will
be taken in the competition. The idea
of the competition originated with the
chamber of commerce of Bordeaux,
France, some time ago. That body,
desirous of encouraging the use of
oils by masters of vessels, and to in-
duco thorough trials ot tue recent
adaptation, has offered a series of
prizes for the best reports, based on
actual experience, receivea uy January

life saving stations will take interest
in the matter. As the competition

is onen to the sailing craft of all
nations, the honors will be more
notable, and if any of these fall into
the nanus or. masters ot coastwise
vessels something worth boasting of
will have been achieved.

Special by Tho California Assocutao Faaat.
San Francisco, May 23. The Gold
en Gate Athletic club gave its monthly
entertainment to-night, the principal
event being a finish fight between two
crack eastern middleweights, Dtnny
Kelliher and Joe Ellingsworth. The
club gave a purse of -51,000, the
loser to take $250. There was
a full attendance in anticipation
of a good fight, the record of the men
going to prove that they are quite
evenly matched. Although Kelliher
defeated Ellingsworth less than a year
ago, in fourteen desperate round at
Los Angeles, the latter has ever
since maintained that he would re
verse the order of things, should they
ever meet again. Very little betting
was done.
Both were in fine condition. Patsy
Hogan act as referee. Kelliher weighed
151, and Ellingsworth 153. Time
was called at 9:55. Ellingsworth was
the first to lead, landing heavily on the
ribs. The second round was uneventful.
In the third Ellingsworth lands in the
region of the heart. In the fourth
Ellingsworth was on the aggressive,
getting in a hard stomach blow,
Ellingsworth doing all the leading. In
the sixth, Joe gets in another one on
the stomach, Denny being on the de
fense, waiting for his favorite right
hand swing.
In the eighth Kelliher tried his
knock-out blow, but it fell short. In
the tenth round Ellingsworth received
a terrific upper cut and barely escaped
Kelliher's fatal right.
In the twelfth, Joe crowded Denny
into the cornerjabbing him. repeatedly
in the stomach without any return,
showing up by far the more clever ot
the two. Kelliher never at any time
using his left, except as a feint
In the sixteenth round Joe drove
Kelliher to the corner, driving his
head back with a straight left hander.
drawing the first blood. In the sev
enteenth and nineteenth, Elingaworth
resumed his jabbing tactics, doing all
the fighting, Kelliher showing signs
of punishment.
Up to the 23rd round, it was the old
story with Ellingsworth. In the 25th,
Denny for the first time landed his
left on the neck, following it np with
the same on the knose. He swung Ins
right barely missing the jugular.
In the thirty-first there was furious
fighting, Joe catching Denny's jaw
twice and staggering him. He reoefrad
a light one on the neck in return,
ducking a vicious swing of Denny's
right.
The thirty-third was a hot round,
Joe landing on the neck twice, ana
doing some clever ducking. The
thirty-seventh was vicious fighting, all
in favor of Ellingsworth.
In the forty-second Ellingsworth
did some furious rushing, landing on
face and jaw heavily, and Kelliher was
getting very weak. In the forty-third
round Kelliher tried his only right, as
a last hope, but failed, Ellingsworth
in return knocking him against the
ropes with a straight left-hander on
the jaw.
Kelliher in the forty-fifth was bleed
ing freely. In the forty-sixth he was
knocked down by a heavy jolt on the
jaw, and was very groggy, the stroke
of the gong saving him as it did in the
forty-seventh.
Li the forty-ninth, just as the gong
rang for the end of the round Denny
received a fearful jab on the jaw. He
came to the scratch for the fiftieth
round, too weak to protect himself,
and Ellingsworth knocked him down
and out with a straight right hander..
Ellingsworth knocked Kelliher out
in the 50th round, and the result was
received with tumultuous applause,
the fight having been long and severe
enough to satisfy all the spectators.
