Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C,, Jan. 31.—More wreck- | age, other than that reported yesterday, | has been found at the north end of Van- | couver Island. 1t includes a boat, part |of the deckhouse of a sailing vessel, a | quantity of gingerbread work, some of | which is painted blue, some varnished and | with brass fittings, evidently part of the interior fittings of some craft; the chest of a seaman and the front of the chest of another sailor, which was of mahog- any and brass bound: some new barrels | with galvanized hoops, a lapstreak boat, two rudders and the mast of a whaleboat. . Thesg things, together with sawn lum- ber and rough boards, sald to be sufficient to make cargoes for two ships, have been found by Indians at Winter Harbor, the entrance to Quatsino. In_the saflor's | box which came ashore was needle and thread and some paper with writing, pre- | sumably & letter. Unfortunately the In- dians were unabie to dry tiis stuff suf- ficiently to preserve the writing, or this might have proved from what vessel the wreckage came. There was nothing on any of the wreckage to identify it. It is believed by many that it is from the Andrada, although other than the piece of teak found with the name of this vessel cut in it nothing has been found to prove this, and the authenticity of the name on the teak board does not seem to be clearly established, for a telegram re- ceived from Lighthouse Keeper Daykin says that the name seems to have been cut with a knife. The salmon found adds to the fears for the.Ardnamurchan. La- bels found at Astoria have been received by the Vancouver packing company, and they assert that these labeis were part of ‘the cargo of the Ardnamurchan. ——————— In twenty-four hours nearly 700 trains piss o and out of New street station, irmingham, England. IMATEUR BOKERS ARE STILL AT 11 Light and Heavy Men Per- * form in the Ring of Olympic Club. s Last Fight of the Second Series of Contests for the Champion- ships Pleases the Crowd. — Three bantams, six welter, three mid dle and two heavy-welght contests made up tne fistic card at the Olymplc Club last evening. A little more of action and incident was scatteted through the pro- gramme than on the opening night, and the crowd warméd up to the bouts in good old fashion. The very last fight on the programme proved the sensation of the evening. It was between A. J. Gallagher of the San Francisco Club and Al Duffy of the South Enders. Gallagher is something new in the way of prize-fight physique. He is so fat that his flesh hangs all over his belt, and he wobbles with every movement. At the same time he was easily the cleverest boxer at the show last evening, and his punching was hard enough to double his opponent, Al Duffy, in knots. In the second round Gallagher landed very heavily on Duffy's jaw. The latter went to the floor and out. Galla- gher looks llke the winner in his class. J. Fields, a strudy bantam of the Olym- pic Club, in the first round of the first fight landed a stiff heart punch with his right on.J. McKalley. McKalley's face became twisted and he dropped to the floor. Referee’ Smith stopped the fight, giving the decision to Flelds. The crowd applauded the decision. ¥. H, McConnell, O. C., and J. C. Dolan, W. O. A. C,, bantams, fought three rounds in give-and-take fashion. McConnell was the aggressor throughout, but found a man ot good, sterling mettle in Dolan. The decision went to the Olympic Club man. Willie Snailham, whom Alec Greggains seconded and om he has dubbed ““Thurston the Second,” finished Al Craw- ford in the second round. In wild, un- measured fashion Snailham threw his arms and fists at Crawford for one and a halt rounds, when the referee stopped the fight, proclaiming Snailham the winner. Then came the welters. In the second round of the fight between M. J. Breen, O. C., and N. McKean, unattached, the referee stopped the battle because he thought Breen was outpointing his oppo- nent without a break. The action of the referee was not thoroughly satisfactory to the crowd, which was anxious to see the fight continued to its natural end. H. W. Finke, O. C., and amateur cham- pion of the United States, used the best part of a round to put plucky R. Donald- son, unattached, out of busine: Donald- son was knocked down twice by Finke's strong right, and then his seconds threw up_the sponge. W. Brock of the Reliance Club and James Pallas of the South End Rowing Club went the three rounds. Pallas is of the Sharkey type and he used his human sledge-hammers on Brock from start to finish, getting the decision. Then Willlam Gooby, Pacific Athletic Club, and J. Doyle, O. C., finished three rounds of fis »oby threw him- self in the w long left, spun around when hit and tried glove gymnas- tics, to the great amusement of the house, Doyle was an easy winner. T. Stone and Gus Baraco followed. Stone came all the way from the Reliance Club and Baraco was home talent, When they had gone three rounds the judges called for a fourth, after which Baraco was pro- nounced the winner. The Reliance men present hissed the decision roundly. M. J. Lawlor, unaitached, and T. Wolft of the Arfel Club put up what was the most earnest and hardest fight of the evening. For three rounds they drove left and right into one another with un- remitting vigor. An round was called and Wolff's aggressive work won him the decision. F. Wegener, Olympic Club, and H. Ken- ny, unattached, were next in the ring. Wegener fought in his old careless style. In the second round he found Kenny’ chin with his right and Kenny measured hig own distance on the floor. J. Millett of the San Francisco Athletic Ciub and George Ciuff of the Pacific Ath- letic Club mixed matiers for half a round, when Cluff went down and out. H. Foley of the Atfel Rowing Club and F. Bayly of the Olympics went three rounds of torrid fsticuffing. Bayly was at his taller antagonist continuous ceiving the decision. George Maclntyre of the Pacific Ath- letic Club and Thomas Lynch of the South End Rowing Club met in the first of the heavyweight fights, This fight was tine- tured with blood, both men bleeding pro- fusely from deep gashes on the head. Lynch got the decision, A. J. Gallegher, 8an Franclsco Athletic Ciub, fat and heavy, then met Al Duffy of the South End Rowing Club in the con- cluding bout. Gailegher's victory sent the crowd home in a happy mood. The programme for this evening will be carrfed through the semi-finals in the featherweight, bantam, middle and welter weight classes. Left in the bantam class are Fields, Snailham and McConnell. In the featherweight class are Danziger, Ri- ordan, Moran, Lundle, Kreling, Leonard, Howard and Long. In_the welterwelght class are Pellas, Finke, Doyle, Breen, Bar- aco and Lawlor. In the middleweight class are Bayley, Millett and Wegener. PAPERHANGERS AT ODDS; GERMAN UNION UNDER BAN Walking Delegate :;;;uildlng Trades Council Threatens a Strike Order Against Contractor Hartman. An edict by Harry Saunders, walking delegate of the Building Trades Council, threatened to impede work being done by the paperhangers employed by George Hartman on a building at 10 California street vesterday. Hartman and nineteen of his employes were busy completing the job when Saunders arrived on the scene and demanded that the contractor forth- with discharge Richard Buchaurk and George Frank Suerwein, both members of San Francisco Union No. 136 of the Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers. Saunders declared that his order would have to be complied with by 1 o'clock or he would order out the men at work who belong to the Building Trades Council. The two men whose employment by Hartman was responsible for the contro- versy are Germans, and their union {s un- officfally called the German union. It re- cently got a State charter, and its mem- Bers have worked on numerous jobs in peace with the rival organization until the trouble arose yesterday, Hartman stated that he had nothing to do with any differ- ences between the two organizations and paid all of his men the union rate of $3 50 er day. He said, however, that if the uilding Trades' delegate insisted on the discharge of the objectlonable workmen he would lay them off under protest. At 4 o'clock Sunders had not appeared at the building to order the strike, and the work ‘was completed last night. e ———— In the Divorce Court.
