SAYS THAT HE PRAYED TO WIN BATTLE | & All Others O t Al meerned in Pugilistic rt that Fight Was nd that the Best Man Won. SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.—The result of the championship battle fought here last night between James Jeffries and Robart Fitzsimmons is prolific of widespread dis- cussion. The story circulated to the effect that the fight was a pre-arranged affair has enraged the champlon and frensied Fitsfimmons to the peint of bursting into tears and fainting away. It any proof of & fake can be offered, says Fitzsimmons, he will forfeit his winnings and his last dollar in the world. Jeftries is equally vehement in his denlals and both are courting & full investigation. Mayor Schmitz is weighing the alleged evidence in the casé and Intimating that he will end prizefighting here if finds the cir- cumstances bear out the charge that the fight was a fake. Fitssimmons Is badly hurt. The terrific body blows that he re- ceived last night bave unquestionably af- fected his heart. Great welts stand out on his back and sides, and only today while being rubbed down he fainted.

Fitz- simmonk. Insists, however, that this was not done intentionally. He was fighting all the time and the very punishment he had 'borne up under told on him at last.

I could do no more. Now, I'm golng to retire.. I'm done for good.” 3 Jefiries Makes Denial. When Jeffries was séen his face was a sight. His eyes were puffed out and 4 colored: and his cheeks cut and bruisad. “Do I look ‘like & faker?’ he facetiously remarked, as he looked at himeelf i glass. “If I was golng to be a party to a fake I would not have stopped all those blows with this face of mine.

IS EXPECTING T TO DIE SOON Ased Bmperor of Austria Co stantly Gives Velce to His P ments. (Copyright 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 36.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—A pathetic Jittle incident is related of the presesti- ments of death which haunt the emperor of Austria. Francis Joseph was present & few days ago at the inauguration of & new hospital erected at M After the ceremony the old emperor, turn- ing toward M.

PIECEWORK OBJECTIONABLE CONDITION Head of the Order Says the Mea Do Not Ask Unreaso; wa and Quotes Pay on Other Rallroa “This strike is merely an incident. The Union Pacifio is as certaln to lose as that there is a strik Is must have skilled mechanics and can get them nowhere e: tept In the unions. That simply means that eventually the company will be forced 10 remploy its old men, and in order to do this it will have to accede to the terms of these men." Thie is the way in which John McNell of Kansas City, grand president and organizer of the Brotherhood of Bollermakers and Iron Shipbullders views the strike on the Union Pacific. President McNell arrived in Omaha late last night and will be here for & day or two In connection with the striki “I am highly gratified with the progress of the strike from the boilermakers' stand- point and the management of it and I will Assume to make no changes in the direction of aftairs, My chief purpose in coming At this time is to see what financial means the boilermakers require and how their funds are being distributed,” sald Mr. Me- Nef Mr. McNeil has just come from the Santa Fe system, where the bollermakers have beeri at outs with the compsny for some time over a black list proposition. He feels that things are being brought to a settle- mént favorabl to the bollermakers and thifks the s not far off. Wages of Bollermakers. “T am deeply impressed with the justice and fairnees of the Union Pacific boiler- makers' demands,” sald he. *‘To show you something of their conditions as compared with other bollermakers let me quote the: facts and figures: On the Illinols Central railroad the bollermakers get 3214 cents an hour in the city of Chicago; 85 cents In New Orleans and in all other places 31% cents; on the Northwestern they get 32% cents an hour in Chicago and 313 in other places; on the Missouri Pacific 32 cents; in the city of Pittsburg at the foundries they get 35 cents an hour and $1 a day extra for what we call dirt work, that is, repair work; in New York and Hrooklyn, 37% an hour, with double time for overtime, treble time for Sunday and are allowed twenty- séven hours for a night; In Buffalo they get 38 1-3 cents in contract shops and 31 on the rallroads; in Birmingham contract work pays 35 cents and railroads 81; in Florida on the Plant system and others they get 35 and we have just settled on a acale in Minneapolis, 8t. Paul and Duluth, the maximum of which is 35 cents an hour. Now, in the New England states the price drops to 30 cents an hour, with time and & half for overtime, but you must remem- ber that living expenses In that section are very l6w. “The boilermakers on the Union Pacific struck because the company would not grant their ‘demand for a soale of 33% In Omaha, Kansas City and Council Bluffs, ranging up to 37 in western Wyoming. This would bring the scale up to a cent d a half or two cents and a half more than they were. gettin In comparison with wages paid in other localities by other rallroads pnd the living expenses of the various places; these demands are perfectly reasonable. Concerning Plecework. “Now, as to plécework, there Is no rep- resentative railroad in the country that presumes ;to use that system for new en- gine work, except the Pefinsylvania and Burlington, and they don't use it for re- pair work. S0 you see, it is obsolets as far as répair work is concerned. This brings up another point to be considered, namely, that the Union Pacific does prac- tically nothing but repair work on engines. It has ceased making its own engines, so that it it adopted the Plecework system for repair work, it would étand alone in that rempect. ““When the bollérmakers had their fight on the Erie, which endured from Decem- ber, 1900, until December, 1601, they were put to an expense of $37,000, but they finally won, .and they will cheerfully ex- pend $50,000 to win the fight with the Union Pacific if meed be. We succeeded in haviag. plecework mbolished on the Eri a8 we did also on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern in our little fight of three months, and we will attaln the #amé results on the Union Pacific. The system is wrong, and it must be abolished everywhere."” President MoNell will meet with the bollermakers at Labor temple this after- noon. Asked if he would meet any of the Union«Pacific officials while here; he sald: “‘Not a Dbit of it. I have no time to ‘throw away. tatking 'with official Every master uocnnlc and diviston su- perinfendent on the Unjon Pacific met with W. R. MecKeen,' jr., superintendent of motive power and machinery, at the lat- ter's office yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making s thorough report and considering fully the conditions and needs of the system. Those at the meeting were: Superintendent McKeen, M. P. Bar- num, m: r mechanic of the Nebraska division; Stewart, Z. T. Spriggs and J. 0. Brinkerhoff, master mechanics of the Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas divisions respectively; R. W. Baxter, W. L. Park, W. A. Deuel and James Roberts, superin- tendents of the divisions of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas respec- tively. After the conference Superintendent Me- Keen said: ‘All our men reported their respective divisions in first-class shape; motive power, which is the most important thing, normal and far above the average in some instapces. The Kansas and Colo- rado divisions report larger forces in the ‘shops than ‘before the strike. The men had all made very thorough lnvestigations and their statements and reports were ab- solutely rellable and accurate. Ta connection with the conditions over | the road General Manager Dickinson, who bas returned from a tour within the last two da; ald; “Our affairs are in good order and the strike has not affected them at all. Trains are running on time both freight and passenger, and the en- gines are hauling as much and in some eases more tonnage than before the strike. ‘We have all the men we really need.” Plecework at Armstrong. The statement was made by Superintend- ent McKean that at Armstrong the car fiders were making on an average of 82 a day more under the plecework e tem than btle? the strike and were highly pleased with cheir lot. Notices of partial plecework prices were posted yesterday in the Omaha shops and it 1s sald that the company has informed the present forces that they will have to pay their own board beginning tomorrow. This report is not suthentie. Regarding the introduction of plecework &t these shops Mr. McKeen eald it would be dene gradually, but cowld net be done at once. For instance, some characters or oclasses of ‘work that could be dome by the plece would be se dome, but there might net, be coough of this sort of work to keep the ) man busy for a day and consequently he would work the remainder of the day at the wage scale. Owing to certain unavold- able complications Mr. McKeen says it will require years to effect a perfect Introduce tion of plecework over the entire system. Stand of the Machinist Secretary Grace of the machinists last night that when President O'Connell of the international machinists’ order re- turned to his headquarters at Washington greater impetus would be given to the strike. He says the grand lodges have beartily approved it and given It their most ardent support. He anticipates that all the vice presidents of the machinist union will be sent to this fleld to advance the Interests of the strikers. Mr. Grace claims that during the week Just closed a total of eighty nonunion mon deserted the company In the various shops dver the Iine and he and other predict a wholesale defection by Monday morning, as they clalm the nonunion men have besn impressed that the company's intention is to enforce the plecework system by that time and they claim they cannot earn a living at it.

About 8 o'clock the deputies made an effort to take the pris- oners to the office of a justice of the peace.

STRAW HATS STILL BARRED Grapd Opera Will Not Rel Rule Requiring Evening Dress. Paris’ (Copyright 1502, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, July 26.—(New York World C: blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—A rumor hi been current sorie time that during the summer season M. Gaithard, the director of the grand opera in Parls, was going to per- mit a slight infringement of the rul of evening costume and permit gentlemen to wear straw hats.
