It was evi- tion in this city would be a lively controversy concerning the method of or ion. There was one faction represented by a majority on | tee that favored a refrigerator car line, to be,owned and controlled by the growers. While this plan included the formation of an organi- ation to control the marketing of fruit, the market was made so subsidiary to the a car line to be almost lost sight of. The minority was known to advocate a plan ling for an organization among the growers alon, line almost identic with that of th tion of ¥ a car line. i It was evident when the convention was \nd in no way refrring to | called that there would be a clash be- tween the contending factions, and friends of the fon feared it might | end in def ntire plan. 9 The m lled to order at 2 | 0’clock this noon in the Sq te cham- ber and the and 1 Teports estionable humor that usually mark meetings of this racter.

After the conditions of the match had | been agreed upon Brady, on behalf of the Coney Island Sporting Club, in whose arena Jeffriee won the cham- plonship of the world from Fit simmons, offered a purse of $50,000 for the match. Brady asked O'Rourke, who is manager of the Lenox Athietic Club, how large a purse his organiza- tion would give for the contest. O'Rourke replied that it would be as large if not larger than rival club. In the meantime Jeffries will not be idle. He will leave for Europe nexc month. On his arrival in England he will issue a challenge to fight any pugilist in Great Britain, the match to take place before the National Sporting Club or any other reputable or; i tion. He will meet any English fighter for ten rounds or to a finish. SHARKEY BOASTFUL. Says He Can Whip Jeffries Rounds. SALINAS, June 17.—Thomas Sharkey arrived in this city to-day. He received many telegrams from various persons in regard to his match with Jeffri To-night, when asked about his plan: Sharkey said: “I am just tickled to death with the match with Jeffries.

AT A STANDSTILL ON THE ARBITRATION PLAN THE HAGUE, June 1 It is impor- tant that the present situation regard- ing the board of arbitration question be clearly understood. The work of the conference has been suspended | on this point and probably will not be resumed for some d On semi-offi- cial authority it is said the situation is practically this: The German Government was op- posed on principle to an organized ar- | bitration court, 1 it is found that these views existed long prior to the conference and that instructions to the | effect were given to the German dele gates. The conviction obtained in Ber- | lin that other powers, notably France, | would instruct their delegates simi- larly. As the conference proceeded the spirit of conciliation advanced and the desire | to accomplish important permanent re- | sults was manifested. With this grew | up schemes for an organized arbitra- | tion board, notably the British propos- | als, to which nearly all the members rallied with the authoritative support of their respective governments. This | at once left the German delegates in | a peculiar condition, for which they | were not prepared. The difficulty was | not at The Hague, but at Berlin. -1In | order to relieve the situation, Count | von Munster, head of the German dele- | gation, after a long conference with his colleagues at Scheveningen, decided to dispatch Dr. Zorn and Baron von Sten- gél to inform the Emperor personally of the condition of affairs. | In the meantime efferts had been | made to find means of conciliation by the means of a limited board estab- lished at The Hague, under the ordin- | ary representatives of the powers, | which was proposed by Andrew D. White, head of the American delega- tion.- This plan Dr. Zorn and Baron von Stengel have been commissioned to plead for to Emperor William. The question of the moment, therefore, is | what his Majesty will reply. The most | important fact is that the German dele- gation from Berlin were accompanied by Frederick Holls, secretary of the | American delegation, who was able to explain fully the American plan. In the meantime the delegates of the great powers have been merely mark- | ing time. The delegates .of Russia, | Great Britain and France have held | several meetings, concerning which the ! delegates preserve silence, probably ! because no definite decision has been | reached. | There is a growing bellef, however, ! peace | grades, | Sloy, which occurred butw authorizes the President to retir of each gtade, providing a certain speci- | fied number of vacancies do not oceur an- ually in_these grades through natural auses.
