"My boy will fight Nelson In any

today thoro will be a fight If both!
boys have to wear overcoats and have
their seconds hold umbrellas ovor
their heads."
In the foregoing words Tom Jones,
manager for Ad Wolgast, affirmed
Hester's declaration that the Nelson-
Wolgast battlo would tnko plnco as
schodulcd this afternoon.
The rain coased falling hero early
today, nnd the dark sky cleared Just
a trlflo. This much, howover, was
sufflclont to fill tho hearts of tho
Richmond fans with joy.
AVolgnst Sleeps.
Wolgast slopt late today. After he-
awoke ho Indulged In a bit of horse
play In his room with Jones, and then
domanded breakfast. The challenger
was in the best of spirits, and pos
sessed ovory whit of tho remarkablo
confldonco ho has displayed since he
started training for the biggest tight

At 9 o'clock the first special train
bearing fight fans to the battle
ground arrived. Dy noon Richmond
was thronged, and the lines before

ASHLAND. Or., Feb. 22. The
I good red blood of Ashland won a
! sweeping victory at the polls yester
tday In the recall election. As pr&
i dieted by tho Mall Trlbuao correspon-
i dent,. Mayor Snell's vote was two to
one over w. N. Grubb, the candidate
of tho recall petitioners. The vote
was light, only 665 being cast In the
three wards, and the fact that Grubb
received but 218 Is satisfactory proof1
that the electorate of this city Is still
safe and sane.
The Third ward register R. Tote
of throe to one for Mayor fo!l jinn
the First ward did nearly ftj.w.ell.

home of Councilman Cunningbag
Recorder Egglcston. Water Commfr
sloner Patterson and E. E. Phipps,
and which has long had the unen
viable reputation of being the most
unprogresslvo ward In the city, gave
Snell tho scant majority of 11 votes.
Now that the people havo spoken so
decisively for a progressive adminis
tration of public affairs, It Is thought
possible that Councilman Cunning
ham will resign. At any rate, it Is
hoped by many that ho will consider
tho matter seriously before embark
ing upon a policy of captlousness that
will tend to retard much needed Im
provements. Immediately following the an
nouncement of the result of the elec
tion, tho victors started huge bonfires
on tho plaza, bought up every old
stock of fireworks in the city and
celebrated noisily until a late hour
in a manner befitting a community
that had effectually and permanently
laid a certain element gently but
firmly upon its doar old moss-covered
back.

PfflLADELTHlA, Pa.f Feb. 22.
A general strike of all union men in
Philadelphia was called today, ac
cording to President Murphy of the
Central Labor Council, but other la
bor leaders declared that they had
received uo official notice of the
general strike and declared that such
action would be taken by the local
unions.
Murphy previously announced that
he intended to go to Washington to
consult President Gompers and Vice
President Mitchell of the American
Federation of Lnbor nnd endeavor to
get their sanction to a general strike.
Murphy, however, did not leave the
city.
Questloa Ills Authority.
Later tho president of the labor
council announced thnt ho hhd called
a general strike Other nnd cooler
lenders declnred thnt Murphy has no
nnthority to call such n strike.
Shortly after making his an
nouncement, Murphy disappeared.
and rumor had it that ho had been
arrested nnd wns being held on
chnrgo of inciting riot.
The lenders, however, are aroused
to resentment at tho arrest of Na
tional Orgnniser C. O. Pratt of the
Cnrmen's International union.
Pratt is charged with inciting riot
and it is reported thnt he will be
held by the police for some timo
without bail in tho hopo that the
carmen's strike will bo broken.
Union Men Iaecased.
Union men aro inconscd at the ar
rest of Pratt nnd threaten both
criminal nnd civil notions against
thoso responsible for bis arrest nnd
detention.
While tho specific, cause leading to
the arrest of the national orcranizer
is kopt a secret, it is undorstood to
have resultod from an attack on a
oar by a mob whioh Pratt had pre
viously addressed on the street.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company today issued a statement
saying that the company is operat
ing 725 cars out of a normal 200O
and that it can put 1200 more oars
in operation ns soon as it ia afforded
police protection.
President Krueger today set at
rest ail rumors of compromise of the
questions nt issue by announcing
that the company would consider no
proposition from striking men save
unconditional surrender to the die-
tatjon 61 the corporation.
