UNITED MESS LEASED WXBJS.l By Max Balthasar.) Moana Springs Training Camp, Reno, Nev., June 29. "I think Jeff will rush In and clean up in two or three rounds." "No, ho won't; ho'll feel out the black fellow for seven or eight rounds, taking a good beating in the meantime and as soon as ho finds the negro Is becoming discouraged because his punches are doing no damage, then ho 11 sail In and finish things up." "Why should ho sail In and finish things up?" "Why should he wait? Why should he hold back and let the ne gro cut him to pieces? All Jeff has to do is to stick out his chin, let Johnson drlvo his hardest and when tho" champion finds that the finest blow he has In stock cannot down his opponent, Johnson will bo pie." "Nothing like that. Johnson Is too clever. Ho can stall around for an almost unlimited number of rounds and It will simply resolve It self Into a question of endurance. If Jeff is there as good as he looks when..he works there will bo nothing to it. I figure that under thoso con ditions Johnson will last about 30 rounds." And so on ad infinitum. Gather a bunch of fans of tho Jeffries' persuasion and that's the sort of talk you will hear. Jeff will win in ono round, six rounds, 13 rounds, 20 rounds or 30 rounds. Never has opinion as to the duration of a big fight been so varying with tho ultimate result so certainly fixed In tho minds of tho Judges. Even In Jeff's camp tho picking of rounds is as widely at variance as tho selec tion of the winning number on the roulette tables that one may dlscovr or with a little effort and the aid of tho cappers. To thoso with a merely superficial knowledge of what a boxer should do, tho work of the big fellows is qulto a pUzzle. Jeff is loafing too much, they think, unmindful of tho vast amount of labor he has gone through. On tho other hand, they think Johnson Is digging in too hard, forgetting that ho has not ap plied himself until within the past few weeks; Cutting Into tho low down, tho many unusual training phases of this contest are enough to put tho sternest conditioning mathematician to tho bad. Jeff passes tho word that ho Is going do work his head off. Instead ho lays around and chats In tho morning and winds up the day with a little joust with the trout. Johnson, with a program of loafing, tears into his work like a colored brother trying to depopulate the entire chicken world. It's a fun ny gamo from any angle and many dopesters will bo surprised when the battle onds Monday.

Heartbroken bunt undaunted by tho wreck of tho aerial liner Deuschland, Count Zep polln, Its inventor, announced today that ho will at once construct an aer- ship half the slzo of tho Deuschland but with a carrying capacity of 40 passengers. ManagerColemand of tho German Aershlp compan'y which conducted tho trips of the. Deuschland, said tho fate of tho big liner would not alter tho company's plans for passenger air lines. "No airship of another typo would have dared to ascend in such a wind as prevailed yesterday," said Colo- man. "No other aershlp could have weathered that hurricane.

"Our faith in commercial aviation is unshaken and we will continue our plans for aerial passenger lines." Tho Deuschland mado tho first puroly commercial aerial flights sev eral days ago, Yestorday's disas trous trip was tho third of any con sequence mado by tho big "palacoof tho skies." After romalnlng on the ground for two days awaiting better weather, the operators of tho, Deuschland decided to bravo tho wind and ascend yesterday with more than a scoro of reporters aboard. Tho reverse motor failed to work and tho big liner was driven before tho wind for "100 miles be fore crashing to tho ground, an al most total wreck. It was learned today that three of tho Deuschland's passengers were in jured Internally when tho craft plunged to earth. Whllo it was still some distance above tho Leut burger forest, a member of the crew, named Hohensteln, became panic stricken and jumped from the car. Tho wreckage of tho Deuschland was gathered up and shipped to Frledrichschafen, today. - Tho vessel costs $300,000, of which two-thlrd3 was salved.

Somo vory valuable diamonds and other jewelry wero stolen aboard the steamer Marama which arrived hero last night. Thero were all sorts of vague rumors going around last night In regard to tho affair but noth ing definite could bo ascertained. Contrary to custom, tho steamer was held hero fom 9 o'clock last night until midday today, delaying tho malls and causing some of tho pas sengers serious Inconvonlonco, Up to noon throo arrests had been mado, although it was admitted that a gang of crooks had been operating. Thoro seems to be somo doubt as to whether tho robbery did not Jafco place at Sydney before tho departure of tho vessels. Shortly aftor the steamer departed a vory valuablo case of Jowolry including somo very fine diamonds was missed and up to tho present time has not been re covered. Tho opinion seoms to bo general that tho valuables may have been taken ashoro at Sydney, .Bris bane, Suva or Honolulu. Captain Moresby makos light cf tho matter, saying that It was nat ural that with a list of several hun dred passengers things should bo lost.

C, Juno 29. -That times aro very bad in Australia, that hundreds of men aro out of work, walking tho streets, and that it will tnko a long time for tho country to recover from tho effects of the late big coal strike, is tho word brought by C. H. Sandstrom, who went from ths city to live in Australia, but who returned last night on tho steamer Marama. That the times aro vory bad in tho country, and that it Is no place at present for any one seek ing investments or employment Is his Impression. Ho says that at New Castio thero are still very many ves sels laid up waiting for coal, and that it will take somo time before tho business assumes its normal aspect. The present labor government does npt inspire confidence, because they are borrowing money with which to pay the interest on past loans, a course which is bound to end disastrously. Washington, June 29. Tho Inter state Commerco Commission today ordered reductions averaging 26 per cent In trans-contlnontnl railroad frolght rates In tin Important series of .decisions based upon complaints from 'Spokane, Portland, tho Nevada railroad commission and tho Salt Lake Chamber of Commerc.o.

Following tho decision of tho com mission tho railroads interested filed a petition for re-hearlng ot tho Missouri river rate cases in tho United States supremo court Tho petition acts as a stay on tho action of the commission until October, when tho petition for a re-hearlng will 'bo consldorcd by tho supremo court. Tho followlng class of rates or dered In the Spokano caso indicate tho effect of tho decision: From Missouri river points to Spokane, $2.50 per hundred pounds. From Mississippi rivor points to Spokano, $2.80. From Chicago, $2.90; from Cin cinnati and Detroit, $3.05; from Pittsburg, $3.29, nnd from Now York, $3.50. In tho caso of tho Portland and Seattle Chambers of Commorco a re duction of 20 per cont was ordered In class rates, on shipments from Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to points In Washington, Orogon, Ida ho, Montana and tho Intorior. . A reduction in passongor rate was mado by tho commission ns fol lows: Between Salt Lake City or Provo. Utah, and Los Angeles, to $25.

Tho commission held that Spokano shlppors should not be re quired to pay the rate for shipping freight to Spokano from Eastern points plus tho rato from Spokano to the Pacific coast.' A similar deelelon was rondered 'n the so-called Reno caso, in which shippers of lteno Baoramonto and Utah points complained that they were compelled to pay Pacific coast terminal rates. , AWAKE 20 YEARS; DIES WHEN HE FALLS ASLEEP Hnokettstown. Alonzo Wire, famous for. 20 years ns tho sleepless policeman, passed quickly In to final sloop last night. Twonty years ago Wire was struck by lightning. Tho shock deprived him nt first ot his speech and his hearing nnd when he subsequently regained them loft somo subtle dornngomont ot tho ner vous system which provonted him from sleeping. Doctors who heard of his caso mado elaborate tests, but they never caught him napping, and at last his assertion that ho Dover slept galne'd gradual credence. He used to Ho down to rest his body, but his eyes remained open and hla brain always active. Although nev er fully at rest, his health seemed unimpaired until ho was atacked by tho bronchial asthma, from which he died. Two nights boforo ho died ho called, his wlfo to tho bedside. "Thank heavon," he said, "I think I'm going to fajl asleep." Ho never wakened. REFUSE DOLLAR FOR WHEAT Washington Farmers Show Great Faith in Grain Market. Dayton, Wash., Juno 29.
