He Has His Eye on the Tel- egraph, but No Mes- sage Comes. et TS Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 3L—Tom Sharkey challenged Champlon Jeffries again a couple of weeks ago. For the past few days rumors of Jeffries’ acceptance have had Sharkey on the jump. Mysterious telephone calls, wires and detters have kept the sailor guessing. The pugllist was at Manhattan Beach to-day. “Jeftries fight me?” he said. *“Why, he's got to fight me. Ain't I the only log- ical scrapper for him to meet? Say, I'm expecting a wire from Jeffries every min- ute. I got my ‘eye on the telegraph office all right.

ATLANTA, Ga., July 3L.—A report was sent from this city to-day to the effect that the Governor of Georgia had con- sented to permit a prizefight between Jef- fries and Ruhlin at Savannah. This was denied to-night by Governor Candler, who sai 1 have no authority to license prize- fighting In this State. Any gentleman may come into Georgia and depart unmo- lested unless while here he violates tha | law. In sueh case he will be held and | punished for his crime.” There is no law against prizefighting in Georgia, and suould the contest take piace | charge of assault and battery. The Sa- vannah promoters of the fight who called on Governor Candler left for home to- | night highly pleased with the result of | the conference.

July 31.—Gus Ruhlin and Billy Madden, his manager, are in this city. When Ruhlin was seen this | evening he referred his questioner : Madden, saying he would “‘stand for” any- | thing the latter said.

The saloons on the ferry-boats will not be closed—at least the rime was extended yesterday by President Hays for thirty This is a victory for the liquor men, who_have been fighting tooth and nail 1o get President Hays to reconsider his or- der abolishing the sale of liquor on the ferry-boats and steamers. Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday affer- noon, H. Flannery, who owns the privilcge of selling liquor on a number of the Oak- iand ferry-boats, was notified that his time had been extended thirty days. 1t is presumed that influence was brought to bear on President Hays, and that he noti- fied Manager Kruttschnitt that he had re- | considered the order. Now that the time has been extended for thirty days, it is supposed that the bars will be opened indefinitely. The liquor men of this city took the matter up in real earnest recently, and notified the rail- road company that should the saloons be closed on the Southern Pacific's boats thay would transfer all their freight business | to the Santa Fe road. ———— NEW INTERPRETATION GIVEN TO DIVORCE LAW Supreme Court Authorizes Continua- tion of Proceedings When Ali- mony Is Unpaid. The Supreme Court in bank decided yes- terday that proceedings for divorce may be carried on even though alimony or- dered by the court may be unpaid. The practice of judges heretofgre has been to refuse to permit a continuation. of pro- ceedings when the party directed to pay the alimony was delinquent. The case was instituted by J. W. E. Allen, who claimed that his marriage was fraudulent. He was ordered to pay costs and $20 a month. He failed to pay the ali- mony and was cited for contempt. It was shown in the Superior Court that he was unable to make payment and the case was dismissed. An appeal was taken. The only provision made by the Supreme Court is that the defendant must furnish enough money for counsel fees for the de- fense. —————————— Best Routes to the Yosemite Valley Are via the Southern Pacific.

Mrs. Waldron and her pretty young Gaughter, Miss Aida Logan, went before Judge Conlan yesterday to swear out a warrant for the arrest of Paul Redfield Lewis, an oll broker, on a charge of em- bezzlement. Mrs. Waldron claims that Lewis bas got away with about $1500 be- longing to her and considerable ofl stock that is her rightful property. Miss Logan demands the return of a valuable opal and diamond ring that she claims she loaned to Lewls. According to Lewis' story, instead of him having any property or security that belongs to Mrs. Waldron the lady is in debt to him to the amount of several hun- dred dollars, $200 of which he claims he advanced to her, the balance being money due him for services rendered. As for the ring, Lewls claims Miss Lo- gan loaned it to him for a perfod of sev- eral months and then gave it to him, he in return giving her 4000 shares of oil stock valued at 5 cents per share. “It was this way,” explained Lewis. ““Miss Logan loaned me the ring and one evening after I had worn it for several months I invited her to go with me to the theater. I wore the ring that even- ing in my scarf and it got turned around. Miss Logan adjusted it for me, and I said to her, 'It's pretty near time you gave me that ring, isn't it? Thereupon she answered: ‘You can have it. I never in- tended to take it back from you.' " ‘When Miss Logan spoke in this gener- ous fashion, Lewis claims he answered, ““That is awfully good of you, little girl,” gnd then as a return gift he davs he sent her 4000 ofl shares. If Miss Logan will return the oil shares to Mr, Lewis, Mr. ITewls declares he will give her back her ring. Atcording to Miss Logan's version of the ring story, she simply loaned Lewis the ring at his urgent request, so he might wear it to go to an out of town banquet. “I never gave it to him,” she sald, “and as for that oil stock, I will not return it. I shall keep it as a recompense for some g{ the money my mother lost through im.

PORTLAND, Or., July 3L.—Over $5,000,- 000 will be distributed by Portland banks in the next eight days in closing the deal by which the Pacific Packing and Navi gation Company secures control of twen- ty-six salmon canneries on Puget Sound and in Alaska. Mr. Onffroy, who has suc- ceeded in organizing the trust after four efforts, arrived here to-day. His assocl- ates, Windell P. Rice, Thomas B. Mc- Govern and Joseph 8. Auerbach of New York, and Judge Thomas A. Moran of Chicago, are expected to arrive to-mor- Tow. There is little to do here to consummate the deal except to pay the owners of the plants which have voted to go in the amount_of cash and stock each is to re- ceive. The titles have been passed upon and there appears to be no legal im- pediment to the deal. R. Onffroy will be secretary of the company and E. E. Ains- worth of Seattle general manager.

INTEND DODGING ANTIONAL ISSUES Campaign on State Lines. SRR Senator Gorman Thought to Have Maryland Conven- tion Well in Hand. SRR T BALTIMORE, July &.—The Democratic State Convention, which will meet at Ford's Opera-house, this city, at noon to- morrow, promises to be thoroughly har- monious. In the preliminaries, which closed yesterday, no bitterness has been developed except in Montgomery County, where the friends of Senator Bouic are sore over his defeat by Spencer Jones, the administration candidate. The delegates to the coming convention, with unusually few exceptions, are strict organization men and there will be no kicking over the traces, The only nominations to be made to-morrow are candidates for Controller and Clerk of the Court of Appeals. At this time there seems no reason to doubt that Dr. Joshua W. Herring will be nominated for Controller and that J. F. Turner will get the other place on the ticket. As to the declaration of principles it seems clear that no mention will be made of national issues. Nothing will be said about the currency, the tariff, imperialism or anything of that sort, but every plank in the platform will be confined to State issues. Prominent among these, it is un- derstood, will be the negre vote problem. Although the leaders will not admit it, there is every reason for believing that a strong declaration will be made upon this subject, following closely along the lines laid down by the Democrats at their re- cent convention in Frederick County, the home of Colonel I.. Vietor Baughman, for- merly one of Senator Gorman's lieu- tenants, in which it was decided that the danger of the negroes ultimately holding the balance of power in Maryland is im- minent unless something is done to check their right to yote. The course of the State administration in convening the General Assembly in spe- cial session last spring for the purpose of passing laws to disqualify illiterate voters and the taking of a State census will be upheld. The platform is being carefully drawn with a view of getting every vote pos- | sible for the Democratic nominees for the Legislature. Gorman has taken part in many conferences upon this subject and the list of nominees in the various coun- tles has been carefully scrutinized and revised by his friends, it being a recog- nized fact that upon the success or failure of the party to carry their legislative tick- ets, 0 as to have a majority in the coming Legislature, will depend Gorman's fu- ture career as a politician, in so far as the State of Maryland is concerned. That he will be chosen to succeed Senator Well- ington in the event of Democratic success is regarded as certain. s NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 31.—The “Pro- gressive Democratic party” was organ- ized here to-day. The attendance was so small that many doubted up to 1 p. m. whether any. attempt would. be made to hold a State convention. During the week followinrg the recent Democratic State Convention a conference was held at Cleveland and a protest was issued against the action of the Democratic con- vention in ignoring Bryan, free silver and other issues. George A. Groot. who called the confer- ence at Cleveland, was both temporary and_permanent chairman to-day and was made chairman of the State Committee of the new party. held in his ‘room at the Great Southern Hotel. The promoters of the movement did not disguise their disappointment over the small attendance. The total attend- ance did not exceed thirty, though the formalities of a State convention were carried out. The features of the platform are lauda- tion of Bryan and reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. Planks were also inserted, calling for the public ownership of all public utilities and that all money of whatever kind shall be issued by the Gov- ernment without the intervention of banks. The destruction of all trusts is demanded. ‘A committee on nominations reported the following ticket, which was nomi- nated: Governor, Dr. Rudolph Reemlin: Lieutenant_Governor, Henry C. C s Supreme Judge, Rial M. Smith; Treasurer, J. C. Shepard; Attorney Gen- eral, 8. L. Clark; Clerk of Supreme Court Charles Bonsall; member of the Board o Public Works, R. B. Connell. Dr. Reemlin, who heads the ticket, has been a lifelong Democrat and a radical free silver man. He is president of the Bimetallic League of Hamilton Count: BULLETS STRIKE THE BYSTANDERS DENVER, July 31.—During a street duel to-night between Barney and Sam Boyce, brothers, of Denver, on one side and Charles Jasper of Texas on the other three bystanders were wounded, although none of the principals were hurt. The combatants are said to be gamblers, and the cause of the fight was a trivial quar- rel. The fight occurred at Seventeenth and Curtis streets, one of the busiest cor- ners in the city. The wounded are; C. R. West of Crow- ley, Iowa, shot in right knee; J. M. Howle, g'rotessor of mathematics at the State ormal School, Peru, Nebr., shot in right leg, not serious; Nick r, carpenter, Denver, shot in the left thigh.

Yellow fever in another year will cease to be epi- demic. We have not had a single case of yellow fever at Havana this summer and none in Eastern Cuba for two years past. “Cuba’s resources require capital for de- velopment. The last enormous sugar crop was raised on 8 per cent of the entirs sugar-producing lands. Only this small rcentage is under cultivation. We have 1,500,000 in our reserve fund, and can pay all our debts and get out of Cuba within the next eight months. We have estab- lished 3600 flourishing schools. Two years ago we were obliged to provide over 100 orphan asylums to protect the destitute children. Since then we have abolished sixty, and expect to be able to close more before we retire from the management of Cuban affairs.

McCabe, in whose stead Governos Gage recently appointed Charles M. Shortridge on the Building and Lean Commission, ascertained yesterday that the State Controller had made out a warrant in his favor for only one-half of the month of July, the other half being made out in favor of Shortridge. The refusal of McCabe to give up his seat to Shortridge on the ground that his term of office does not expire for some months to come has already been pub- lished. On July 29, according to McCabe, Secretary J. L. Fields certified to the Con- troller that during the month only one meeting of the commission had been held, and that there were present on that ocea= sion Commissioners McCabe and D. W. Field. Field was elected president of tha board and Fields secretary. On July 16 Commissioners Field and Shortridge met and elected J. M. Klein of Fresno secretary of the board. On the following day Klein went to the office of the commission and undertook to take charge thereof. He was promptly ejected by McCabe. The following dispatch was received last night relative to the matter: SACRAMENTO, July 31.—State Controller Colgan said to-night that he issued a salary warrant in favor of Building and Loan Com- missioner E. D. McCabe for July up to the | 17th of the month, and for the L._'ance of the | month from the 17th to the 3ist to the new | Building and Loan Commissioner, C. M. Short- ridge. Mr. Colgan said that his authority for doing this was that Secretary Fields had mo- tified him that Shortridge had assumed otfics on the 17th of July, and he therefore re- garded this as sufficient authorization for him | to place the new commissioner on the salary roll. Mr. Colgan said that the same secretary notified him_ that Mr. McCabe had organized a board, and upon this notification he deemed that he was entitled to pay up to the 17th, when Shortridge took office. L HOBRERS FAL 10 T Booy CHICAGO, July 31.—The Chicago and Baltimore passenger train from the east, which was due to arrive in the Grand Central station, Chicago, at 9 o'clock to- night, was held up by five masked men at 8 o’clock to-night between Edgemere and Grand Calumet Heights, Ind., thirty-ona miles out from Chicago. One of the mail cars, which contained no money, was dynamited and wrecked. The attempt at robbery was made after the two mail cars had been detached from the train and run a quarter of a mile ahead. The fallure of the robbers to make a rich haul was due to the fact that the express car. which contained the train’s treasure, was in an unusual place. It was the third car in the train. After wrecking the malil car and obtaining no booty the men disappeared In the darkness without at- tempting to rectify their mistake. Tha only loot that they carried away with them as a result of their adventure was the gold watch of the engineer. The train was the New York and Wash- ington vestibule limited. Most of the trainmen were shot at and had narrow escapes from the bullets. No person was injured either by the dynamite or fire- arms. The place where the robbery oc+ curred -is a lomely district where houses are few and far between. Dr. Bosse.
