Nov. 1. Victor II. Olmstead, assistant director of census, returned, today, to Havana, after inspecting all the provinces of the island, mn accordance with instructions from Washington. He immediately visited General Ludlow, military Governor, and informed him he had instituted an inve5tigatio"n into all the cases of enumerators, mentioned in General Ludlow's letter to Governor General Brooke, as beinfc unfit, andthat most of these persons had been discharged. General Ludlow says no blame attaches to the appointing officer, because the latter relied upon the sponsors of the applicants, the Indorsements coming from people supposed to be reliable. He considers it unfortunate that men of standing should lend their names, merely out of sympathy, to applicants notoriously unworthy, , as certainly was done In numerous instances. The Havana newspapers, generally, complain regarding the different kinds of coinape !n use in the island. The local hotels and many business houses now refuse to accept any currency except American. Nearly all the hotels and boarding houses in Havana to-day raised prices 20 per cent., which means. In most cases, an Increase of per cent, on the prices that prevailed last year. The large Influx of Americans and the expectation that this will continue, account for the rise. The climatic conditions that existed during the latter part of September having unexpectedly continued throughout October,' Furgeon Major Davis hopes the fear regarding yellow fever will not be realized. During October there were sixty-three cases under treatment, belonging to that month, with twelve cases which held over from September. Of this total of seventylive, twenty-six recovered, twenty-five died and twenty-four are still In the hospital. Thirty-six of the patients were Spaniards, of whom fifteen died, and twenty were Americans, of whom eight died. To-day a special committee from Cardenas waited upon Governor General lirooke, with a request that the harbor should be dredged. General Brooke replied that the dredger was just now being reaired, but that the desired work would e begun so that the harbor would be ready by the date of the next sugar crop. gem:hal wood s report. lie Iteeommeiidw tlint Part of Oar Army He Withdrawn. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The War Department to-day made public the report of Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the Department of Santiago. Cuba, which is In addition to what has already been made public from this office. General Wood gives an interesting account of the sanitary reforms put in force and the good effect in reducing the extent of yellow fever, wnallpox and other diseases. In discussing present conditions he says: 'I believe the best and most trustworthy element of the populaion is entirely friendly and In thorough accord with the military authorities. The only element causing friction Is the unscrupulous political element, composed of certain unprincipled agitators." In view of this friendly attitude of the Iopulation General Wood recommends a arge reduction in the United States troops In the Santiago department. His recommendation In this respect follows: "The people being extremely friendly and quiet, the garrison may safely be reduced to the lowert point consistent with efficiency. This, I think, will be accomplished by having In the province two squadrons of cavalry and two battalions of infantry. In other words, I recommend the withdrawal, in the near future, of one squadron of the Tenth United States Cavalry and one battalion of the Fifth United States Infantry, these to be sent to the United States as home or depot battalions of the regiments serving In this department." General Wood urgs that the younger officers be chosen for subordinate commands In Cuba. GIVES THE LIE TO CROKER. Gen. B. F. Tracy on the Stand Before the Mniet Committee. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. The examination of Gen. B. F. Tracy before the Assembly committee on the conduct of the municipal departments of New York was continued toc'ay. He was questioned regarding the s:rvi?es he had performed for corporations, without bringing out any facts of material interest. At the close of the examination General Tracy said: "If Mr. Croke-r said, ivrd I can hardly believe he said it. that my frm sent large sums of money to Albany to Influence legislation. It If a very, very grave fake hood." John D. Crimmirts told how the contract for changing the Third-avenue Railway motive power had been given to his firm ttrI then taken away and given to Naughton Sc Co., who are known as "Tammany contractors." Mr. Crlmmins's testimony flatly contradicted that of lresldtnt Ellas, of the railway company, given some weeks ago. Mr. Crimmtrt3 was asked: "Is the firm of Naughton & Co. locked upon as a political firm?" "If you mean, by that, affiliated, with the dominant joIlti-al power, yes." "Can thtre be any omitlti.m whtn that lirm 1 hmking for a contract?"

Nov. 1. The shooting today at the Cincinnati Gun Club tournament was at artificial targets. There were fiftyfive entries, most of whom shot at the entire number, of targets in the ten events 173. Fulford made the remarkable shoot of 172 hits out cf 173 chances, or 98 3-10 per cent. Yesterday Heikes took, the lead with 1G3 out of 170 targets. For the two days on 313 targets Heikes and Fulford are a tie at 93 6-10 per cent. each. Among the shooters to-day, but not in all the events, were Mrs. Shattuck, of Minneapolis, and "Wanda," of Cincinnati. Annie Oakley will be present to-morrow, when the live bird shooting begins, and make a trio of women shooters. Prominent among the winners to-day were Heikes, Gilbert, Riehl. Fisher, Alklre, Teipel. Hill, Fulford. Krlbb, Trimble. Elliott, Budd. Young. Hirschy ani Fanning. Today the weather conditions were favorable for big scores, and the averages throughout were high. It was quite different yesterday, when a strong wind was blowing and made the flights of the targets very erratic. GEN. FUNSTON IS WROTH RUMOR THAT HE MAY SUE ARCIIBISHOl IRELAND. Want to Know "Whether the Frelate Wan Correctly Quoted In Sayins He Took Church Chalices. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Nov. 1. Gen. Frederick Funston, who Is en rotrte home with the mustereC out Twentieth Kansas Regiment, has wired his Topeka attorneys, Gleed, Ware & Gleed, to bring proceedings against Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, for criminal libel because of statements attributed to the archbishop in a recent Interview. General Funston also instructed his lawyers to bring criminal and civil prosecutions against the Monitor, a Catholic paper of Saa Francisco, which first printed the story. In a recent Interview In Chicago Archbishop Ireland was quoted as saying that General Funston had been charged with looting Catholic churches in the Philippines. The charges alleged to have been referred to by the archbishop were made by the editor of the Monitor soon after the landing of the Kansas troops In San Francisco. The Monitor stated, it is said. that. General Funston had taken two magi iflcent chalices from a certain Catholic Church in the Philippines and had sent them home to his wife. Archbishop Ireland in his Chicago interview was quoted as calling on General Funston to deny the truth of the article and sue the editor of the Monitor for libel or the public would be obliged, against its will, to believe him guilty of the criminal acts of which he has been accused. TOPEKA, Kan.. Nov. 1. C. S. Gleed, senior member of the law firm of Gleed, Ware & Gleed, stated to-night that his firm had received absolutely no intimation from General Funston of any purpose to begin any legal proceedings against Archbishop Ireland. Mr. Gleed stated that he had simply received a personal telegram from General Funston requesting him to ascertain f Archbishop Ireland uad been correctly quoted. General Funston at the same time expressing the opinion that the statements attributed to the archbishop would be found to be Incorrect. MY. Gleed added his surmise that General Funston desired this information to enable him to form a reply to the archbishop in the event that the alleged interview should prove authentic. What the Archbishop Said. ST. PAUL. Minn., Nov. 1. Archbishop Ireland appeared somewhat surprised this evening when he heard that General Funston, of Kansas, was reported as about to sue him for libel on account of statements attributed to him in a Chicago Interview. He said he had made no charges against General Funston. but had. In conversation, expressed the opinion that the statements of the San Francisco paper charging the general with having taken a priest's robe from a Philippine church should be denied by General Funston at once, lest a failure to deny lead to a wrong impression. The archbishop admitted the substantial ac-" curacy of the Chicago interview, but was not willing to admit that he had made any libelous statements. FOR KANSAS HEROES. Preparation!! nt Topekxi for the Reception of Funnton'n Men. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 1. The Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, headed by General Fred Funston and Lieutenant Colonel Little, will arrive home from the Philippines tomorrow and will be given a splendid reception in this city. Five hundred men have been engaged in putting up decorations and to-night stringers of bunting and flags adorn one mile of Topeka's streets. Twenty-five band stands have been erected and as manyband?, with five hundred musicians, will play patriotic airs. At 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon all of them will be mobilized in Capitol squar and play "A Hot Time." Fifteen hundred electric globe have been used in arranging the inscription for the four wings of the Capitol building and on the night of the reception the Twentieth Kansas boys will read the sentiments of the people of the State In letters of blazing light. The electric effects on the south wing of the Capitol will be the most pretentious. Hx hundred and elht Incandescent globes will form a blazing flag and this inscription: " 'Twas well defended." On the north wing will appear the word. "Our fighting Twentieth." "All Kansas honors the Twentieth" will shine out Irom the top east VJng of ihe building and "Welcome home" from the wing on the wtst. In th new State library rooms, which will be used for the reception and banquet, deccrativc art has reached it.-? limit.

FALL OF A BUILDING

EXPLOSIO.V CAl'SES THE COLLAPSE OF A SIY-STORY STRICTURE. Occupants of the Place Have Lena than n Minute' Warning, and Many urrowly Escape. AT LEAST THREE LIVES LOST THREE PEOPLE ARE 3IISSIXG AXD OTHERS ARE IN.IIKKD. Panic Among Girl Employes of an Adjoining IlulldlnK, Which Warn Also Crushed-Loss $:iO0,O0O. CHICAGO, Nov. 1. Three men are known to have perished and three others are missing as the result of the collapse of a j-ix-story building at Nos. 139 and HI West Iake street this evening. Considerable damage was. done to adjoining property, and during the excitement it was reported that as many as forty lives had been lost. About $2O,000 damage was done. The Dead. JOSEPH B. DOCTOR, barn foreman for the New England Milling Company, caught in front part of the building at time of the explosion and body recovered by firemen. FRANKLIN S. HANSON, proprietor of the New England Milling Company, body removed by firemen; badly burned. HENRY HILTON, bookkeeper for New England Milling Company, body under the wreckage near where that of his employer was recovered. The Missing. CHARLES MULLENS, peddler, purchasing feed in the salesroom of the mill and last seen struggling to reach an exit after the Leonard building had collapsed; buried In the ruins of the mill, but thought by some to have escaped. UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN. Paid to have been caught by the portion of the Leonard building wall that fell Into street and burled beneath the debris. C. WILLIAMS, address not known, employe of the Leonard Seed Company, not yet accounted for. The Injured. PATRICK PEYTON, blown Into the street by the concussion; cut and bruised about face and arms. W. Bj ADAMS, saloon keeper, head badly cut. CHARLES HENRING. run over by frightened horse, badly bruised. A. J. KELLY, bruised by falling bricks. J. C. TAYLOR, bruised by falling bricks. The cause of the collapse is unknown, some claiming that there was an explosion in the store of S. F. Leonard, dealer in seeds, others saying that the walls fell without apparent cause. The generally accepted theory Is that there was an explosion of dust In the seed store. The crash came with less than one minute's warning, and Mr. Leonard, who noticed the walls of the building shift slightly, called to his employes to run for their lives, and without a second's delay they all rushed for the street, the last of them getting through the doorway Just in time. After reaching the street the women employes of Leonard rushed into the home of Mrs. Agnes Whelan, No. 135 Lake street. Mrs. Whelan, however, noticed that the house was In danger and refused to allow the women to remain. Less than half a minute later the east wall fell, and the house, together with the adjoining one, was burled beneath the ruins. Adjoining Mrs. Whelan's house and next to the seed building stood a two-story frame structure occupied by Kelso Brothers, dealers in paper. A number of young girls and two men were at work at the time, and a panic followed in their efforts to escape. The two men smashed the windows and in that way rescued the girls. Tte following are the losses: Simeon F. Leonard, wholesale seeds, loss $100,000, insurance $$0,XX); C. T. Bowal, owner of the building, $50,000, insurance full; Nicholas Deck, $S,oX; New England mills, F. H. Hanson proprietor, $25,000; Nelson Brothers, paper stock. $3,000; J. C. Meyer, pickles and vinegar, $10,COO; Agnes Whelan, owner of the building, $5,000; W. B. Adams, saloon and hoarding house, $1,000. At 10 p. m. the firemen working In the ruins found the body of a man under the debris of the office of the New England mills. It was too badly burned to admit of identification, but from the position in which It was found it Is supposed to be that of Mr. Hanson, proprietor of the mills. Mr. Doctor's body was found later. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. Their Spread by File, Moaqnttoen and Fleas Discussed by Health Officers. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 1. The American Public Health Association considered infectious and contagious diseases' to-day. Dr. Peter H. Bryce, of Toronto, secretary of the provincial Board of Health of Ontario, read the report of the committee, an exhaustive review of the progress of scientific investigations. Many experiments made to ascertain whether and how flies, mosquitoes and fieaa carry contagious diseases were detailed. A paper was read by Dr. Jesus E. Monjarau, of San Louis rotosl. Mexico, on "Transmissible Diseases in San Luis Potosi; Their Etiology and Prophylaxis." In the discussion that followed It was urged that courses In hygiene ought to be established in the university curriculae and that the public should be educated to co-operate with health officers. Dr. Ernest Wende. health commissioner of Buffalo, N. Y.. reported for the committee on causes and the prevention of infant mortality. It deals principally with milk supply and instructions to the mothers. DISASTERS IN JAPAN. Train Thrown Info n River nnd Twenty Live Lost-GrMit TIdnl Wave. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1. Advices from Yokohama under date of Oct. H were received here to-day per steamer China. Some dissatisfaction is expressed by the foreign residents of Japan over some of the decisions rendered by the Japanese courts under the new treaty revision act. Several unjust arrests have been made and much discontent prevails. The great storm, the center of which swept over Tokio and Yokohama, on the 9th inst. has proved, to have had a wide belt of destruction. Besides the terrible railroad disaster on the northern line beyond Utlunomya, where a whole passenger train was blown from a bridge into the swollen river beneath, with a loss of twenty killed and forty wounded out of a total of eighty passengers, the damage to the south line between Yokohama and Kobe was extensive. Tie great tidal wave which accompanied the storm in the south has plied up mountains of sand and shingle across the mouth of the Usui river at the dam, forming a vast lake. Hooding, all the back country. Thousands of laborers are at work seeking to make an outlet through the embankment, but thus far without success. In s-tdto of the peculiar difficulties with which the railways in Japan have to contend !n the way of earthquakes and Hoods, the work of building new ones is progressing with great rapidity. The increase In mileage during the last year was 470 miles, making a total length now finished of 3.42o miles, while those under charter will make a grand aggregate of 5.S10 miles. The war in the Transvaal is arousing the liveliest Interest on the part of the Japanese, the conviction being very strong among them that Russia will seize the opportunity to carry things in northern Asia with an

even higher hand than usual. In the meantime there is much glee over the way in which the Islanders have checkmated the Russian designs on Masampho, a post with a magnificent harbor which the Russian admiral recently visited, finding it just the place for the establishment of a dockyard and coaling station. An application made to the Korean government was readily granted, but meanwhile Japanese private parties had bought practically the whole site from the Korean owners and cannot now be dispossessed. It appears that the Russians as a counter move are to demand as compensation an island midway between Masampho and Tsushima, the latter an Island commanding the channel, being now a strategical point of the highest importance to the Japanese.

OBITUARY. Former Governor Alvln Saunders, a . Anted Figure In Nebraska. OMAHA. Neb.. Nov. 1. Ex-Governor Alvln Saunders died this morning. He was one of the earliest settlers in the State, and during his entire career was a prominent figure .n its political and business life. His daughter is the wife of Major Russell Harrison, son of the ex-President. The infirmities of old age was the cause of the ex-Governor's death. Alvln Saunders was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, in 1S17. His early life was spent on the farm. In 183'J he went to Iowa, then known as a part of the Territory of Wisconsin. He became a clerk at Mount Pleasant and later was accepted as a partner in the firm. He was the first postmaster of the town. Meanwhile, despite his mixed Virginia and Kentucky origin, he became a strong opponent of the extension of slavery into the Territories, and as such was elected a member of the state Senate. He was a delegate to the Republican national convention in Chicago In 160, and during the presidential campaign which followed he took an enegetlc part and visited all portions of the State where his services could be of use to his friend Lincoln. The election of Lincoln was almost immediately followed by the appointment of Mr. Saunders as Governor of the Territory of Nebraska. During his term of olflce the population of the Territory was only 30,000, yet he raised 3.000 men for the federal army and successfully carried on operations against the Indians. He remained Governor until Nebraska was admitted to statehood, in 1S67. It was largely due to him that the Union Pacific crossed the Missouri at Omaha instead of several miles below, thus assuring the prosperity of that city. After his retirement from public life Mr. Saunders engaged in business In Omaha and New York, banking being the principal feature. He met finally with a severe financial reverse In 1S75, and so strong was the sympathy for him that it materially aided his election to the United States Senate. He was a delegate to tre Republican convention in 1W, when Grant and Colfax were nominated. Mr. Saunders was elected senator of the United States in 1876, and served fix years.. During his incumbance he secured more than 00.000 acres of land for the State by the straightening of its northern boundary line. Since his retirement he has lived quietly at Omaha. Other Deaths. LONDON. Nov. 1. Lieut. Gen. Charles Wright Younghusband, retired, is dead. He was born June 11, lfCl. , The death is announced of Edward Elletwood John Pellew, fourth Viscount Exworth. He was born June 24, 1861. DEWEY'S FIANCEE AMBITIOUS She 3Iay Try to Land the Admiral In the White House. CHICAGO, Nov. 1 The Times-Herald's Washington correspondent says: "The general comment in Washington anent the engagement of Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Mildred Hazen Is that it is a brilliant match on both sides. As wife of the admiral of the navy Mrs. Dewey will have an exalted rank in the official society of the capital, with the right to precede all but the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps at ceremonial functions. But Mrs. Dewey will not care for that. Her place in society as an Intellectual, even brilliant woman is! already well fixed, and not even this happy marriage is likely to add anything to her popularity. Admiral Dewey and Mrs. Hazen threaten to have a wedding of the traditionally 'quiet' order at the home of Mrs. MclAan, the bride's mother, but if they do they will most grievously offend and disappoint all the fashionables. If wo can't have a grand wedding at St. John's, with acres of admirals and captains, resplendent in gold lace and uniforms and with swords dangling at their sides, what is the use in having a match between the 'greatest contemporaneous hero and 'the most brilliant voman in Washington?' At any rate, wherever the wedding is the admiral will wear his uniform and the sword that was presented him by the Congress of the United States; and cards to that wedding will be as eagerly sought as seats by the great white throne, j "One of the picturesque phases of the Dewey-Hazen engagement Is the encouragement which it has given to the misguided enthusiasts who are determined to force tho admiral to run for the presidency on the Democratic ticket. They had given him tip. The admiral's repeated and emphatic declarations that all the king's money and all the king's men coull not drive him into the political field had led them reluctantly to abandon their crusade. But now they are pricking up their ears again. Here is their argument: Mrs. Hazen. who is to be Mrs. Dewey. Is a sister of John R. McLean, of Ohio. Mr. Mclean Is ambitious. Mrs. Hazen la ambitious for him and for herself. She would like to be mistress of tne White House. The admiral Is very much In love with her. He acts like a boy again. Now mark, 'the honeymoon will bring out a new presidential candidate for the Democrats, one who will sweep the country." AH of which Is very pretty, and very silly. FEAR VENGEANCE. Witnesses Against Kentucky Fendlnts Afraid to Attend Court. LONDON. Ky.. Nov. 1. The feudists charged with murder at Manchester, Clay county, Kentucky, have comparatively easy sailing, as witnesses summoned to appear and testify against them will not appear. Mrs. Sarah Collins, chief witness against James and Millard Philpot and Alex. Fisher, charged with the murder of her husband, committed suicide by taking poison, fearing to testify against them. Other feud cases have been postponed from day to day on account of the absence of witnesses, who refuse to attend court and testify against the feudists, believing that their evidence against the warring factions would Imperil their own lives. GOOD CAUSE FOR ALARM. Forty Strcet-Cnr Passenger nalnnced on the Brink ot Death. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 1. A Wilsonavenue street car, carrying forty passengers and running at a good rate of speed, to-day jumped the track on the Wlllsonavenue bridge, which spans a deep ravine. The safety railing of the bridge was torn away and the front trucks went over the side of the structure, after which the car stopped, overhanging the gully seventy-five feet below. Women fainted and men fought their way to the doors. Had the car moved another foot or two It would undoubtedly have gone over. None was injured. FISHING FOR SILVER. Diver Removing White Metal Bar from n Sunken Ferry Boat. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Nearly the whole afternoon was consumed In removing the bars of silver from tho wreck of the ferryboat Chicago in North river. It was said to-day that there was about $G0,0u0 worth of silver. This was removed a bar at a time. The diver would place the bars one by one in a bag and tie the bg to a rope to be hoisted to the surface. The diver would then come to the surface, take the bag and go down again as each bar was hoisted. Fire nnd Explosion. CHICAGO. Nov. 1. A fire, followed by an explosion, wrecked the five-story brick building at No. 35 West Washington street to-day. The building was occupied by several small business flime. The tire started on the second floor, where were stored barrels of paint and oil. The total loss amounts to $98,000.

READY FOR THE FICHT

JEFFRIES AXD SHARKEY HAVE FIX. IS1IED THEIR HARD WORK, And Will Do Little More Training Intil They Meet in the Ring on Friday Mlit. BOTH PUGILISTS CONFIDENT JEFFRIES, HOWEVER, STILL FAVORITE AT ODDS OF lO TO 8. Big Crowd of SnortM Expected to Witness the Contest Gate Receipts. Will Be Aenrly $10O,00O. NEW YORK. Nov. 1. Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey have practically ended their training, and, save for light exercise, will do nothing more until they face one another in the arena of the Coney Island Sporting Club & Friday night. They have both worked hard for the contest and will probably prove to be In excellent condition. Some doubts have been expressed as to the form of Jeffries, as he has only done about seven weeks' work for the fight, but his manager, Billy Brady, and his trainers, Tommy Ryan and Billy Delaney, unite in declaring that he is in entirely satisfactory shape. He himself asserts that he is satisfied that he Is stronger and better than he was on the night when he met Bob Fitzsimmons In the same ring and defeated him. On the other hand, there is no doubt about the condition of Sharkey. He began work whilo in California early lastsummer, and has kept pegging away at It ever since. He is ambitious to be the champion pugilist of the world In his class, and does not want the matter of condition to stand In his way. His trainers, Tim McGrath and Bob Armstrong, and his manager, Tom 0'Rourk have been compelled to watch him to guard against going over the mark where he would be strong. As it is, he is in nearly perfect form. Jeffries may spend the night before the fight in New York. He is very anxious to see Will Curley, the English bantam. In his fight with George Dixon at the Broadway Athletic Club to-morrow night, and, unless serious objection is made by these who have him in hand, wlll-rome up from Allenhurst, where he has trained, to-morrow night. Sharkey will not leave Newdorp until Friday afternoon. He may spend part of the afternoon at Martin's Hotel, In this city, but it is more probable that he will go directly to Coney island. BOTH CONFIDENT. The eve of the contest sees both of the men supremely confident. Both are calm and will go to the fray as veterans into action. Thousands of dollars have been wagered on the outcome of the fight. Jeffries remains the favorite, and the prevailing odds are 10 to 8, although come money is placed at shorter terms than that. It was expected that the flood of Sharkey money that came sweeping into town earlier in the week would make the terms even by the call of time on Friday night, but men who follow the books and make a business of financial risks of a sporting nature are to-night predicting that Jeffries will maintain nis lead in betting favor. . The house promises to be the largest that ever gathered for a pugilistic encounter in New York or anywhere else in this country. The sale of seats so far has been tremendous, and if it keeps up the house will be sold out. The boxes near the stage went at $35 apiece, while the best seats near the ring commanded from $13 to $i. General admission is to cost $3, and it is expected that the size of the gate expressed in dollars will be close to $UA,OjO. Spectators will be in attendance from every State in the Union. Several large delegations from the South and middle West got in to-day, and others from California and the extreme West and New England will arrive to-morrow. Hotel corridors and cafes ring with fight talk. There are offers to bet, predictions as to the length the match will go, speculation and prophecy as to victory and vigorous arguments from the men who champion one or the other of the big fighters. Neither of the men did much work today owing to the storm. At Asbury Park Jeffries began with a short run on the road In the morning, then rested until 2 o'clock, when he sparred with Ryan for the benefit of Prof. Mike Donovan, who had come to see him w.ork. Later in the afternoon he punched the bag for twenty minutes, skipped the rope a thousand times and worked with pulleys, dumbbells and the wrist machine for half an hour. After a brief rest Jeffries played a couple of fourhanded games of croquet. On tossing for partners Jim and Ryan lined up against Jack Jeffries and Roeber, and, although starting off last, the champion and Ryan beat out In both games, notwithstanding the other two are credited with being the best players. BIOGRAPH DAY AT NEW DORP. This was biograph day at Sharkey's New Dorp training quarters- The moving picture people went down to take a number of views of the big sailor training and they occupied his time for a considerable period. It was a day of easy work for the Irishman. He took just enough exercise to keep his wind apparatus in working order and to insure his muscles remaining limber and supple. Before breakfast he took a short stroll with Tim McGrath, his trainer, and after the meal he went out on the road for a four-mile walk and trot. He came running in afterward, perspiring freely, but breathing without the slightest perceptible effort. Sharkey's physician went down to see him at noon. He is Dr. Frank E. Butler, formerly of Bellevue Hospital, New York. Dr. Butler has carefully noticed Sharkey during his whole ten weeks in training. He went down to-day to make a last examination of his charge and see for the fighter's managers if their man was in the condition they expected of him. Dr. Butler, after remaining with Shaikey all day, said: "Sharkey is in perfect condition. I have watched him ever since he began work and I feel satisfied that he has developed to its fullest possibilities each muscle in his body. His blood, his digestion, all his internal organs are in perfect condition. He is not In the least stale and 1 think he will be able to put up his best fight Friday night." In the afternoon Sharkey went out on the road again for a two-mile trot. It was raining at the time and Tom O'Rourke accompanied him in a carriage. To-morrow Sharkey will punch the bag a few rounds In the morning and take a short road run In the afternoon. Many wagers were placed to-night on the result of the big fight. Jim Wakely, a stanch admirer of Champion Jeffries, was one of the heaviest betters to-day, placing $3,200 on the Californian's chances. James J.

SL0SS0N WON EASILY SCORED HIS OOO POINTS WHILE SCHAEFER WAS MAKING 757. La tier's Best Runs Were 41 and 30, While the Winner's HIrIi Murk During the Match Was 37. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Slosson won the professional billiard match to-night at Madison-square garden, Sohaefer being beaten by 900 points to 757. Slosson to-night again outplayed Schaefer by 300 points against 262 and he therefore Increased the advantage which he held when play began by thlrty-e!ght caroms, and finally ended with a lead cf 143. Slosson's average for the full 900 points was a shade over four and one-half and his best run of the, match thirty-seven. Schaefer exceeded this run twice, making forty-one and thirty-nine in to-night's play. His average, however, was a little under four for the full game. Tonight's attendance was 400. At first it looked as if Schaefer was going to make a close finish of it. He picked up three, twelve and eight after his first miss and then got the Ivories rolling smoothly for him and rapidly clicked off a big run. He missed his fortieth carom. As it was, however, he had gathered in what was then the best run of the match. In the meantime Slosson's deadly angles were helping him steadily and misses were scarce. In five successive innings he gathered In ten, three, fifteen, nine and eleven, but then sagged back once more. Jake ran into a calm, too, and it seemed Impossible for him to get the balls together for a big run. He scored eleven ciphers in twenty-three innings and his admirers looked disguested. At the thirtieth inning the student had increased hi3 lead to 155 points and Schaefer was growing desperate. He had seemed careless before, but now he settled down with a determined expression on his face and soon had the balls rolling favorably again. Only delicate caroms at a time could he get, but each time his drive for a new gather and position was successful, and the ivories were together first In one corner and then another. The break added up readily and a generous round of applause greeted the expert when he passed the high-run mark of thirty-nine, but only two caroms later he carelessly fouled the white ball with his cue after he had counted on a short draw. The total, fortyone, however, was the biggest of the match. From this point to the end the play was monotonous. There were few dcuble-flgure runs and little brilliant play. Both men missed repeatedly, but Slosson kept steadily at it until he went out In bis one-hunderd-and-ninety-seventh inning. The score follows: Slosson 7, 0. 0. 10. 3. 13, 9, 11, 0, 7. 0. 1, 3, 3, 9, 7, 21. 4. 19. 0, 1, 13. 1. 6, 8, 0. 10. 19. 1. 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 11. 7, 4, 2, 2. 9. 5. 0. 14. 0, 4. 6, 9. 4, 4. 9. 2. 1. 0. 4. 0, 7, 1-Total. 3.
