TEDDY TALKS FIGHT
Colonel Roosevelt Expresses His
Views of the Boxers.
SILER REPORTS THE INTERVIEW
Boxing Might Have Continued in
\ev» York If It Had Been
Handled Right.
Mmw Ymrk Sim Spmolal Stir* lam
Chicago, Jan. 9. —Just before Vice Presi
dent-elect Roosevelt left Chicago to hunt
big game in the Rockies he haU a chat with
George Siler, the pugilistic referee, on the
subject of boxing. Slier tells the story of
the conversation as follows:
"You love clean sj>ort, and so do I." j
commented the ex-governor. "Now on
thai basis and understanding, I will begin
our chat by asking what you think of Jef
fries as a fighter?"
"I think he is great." I replied.
"And so do I," he said. "Don't you
know. Siler, that boxing might have been
going on in New York right now if the men
who had charge of the clubs had handled
it with care. They made a mistake by
not stopping contests when they became
brutal, or when it was manifest to all
that one of the contestants had no possible
chance of winning. You know that as
well as 1 do, don't you?"
"Of course/ I answered.
"Look at that MoCoy-Ohoynski contest.
Wasn't that enough to kill the sport?"
I told him I thought it was.
"I liked McCoy," he continued, "and
thought he would best Corbett. He is
equally as clever as Corbett, and a harder
hitter. He has the right idea of hl'.ting.
too, has he not?"
I told him I was sure he had.
"Now, there's Fitzsimmons." Mr. Roose
velt continued. "He's a good, honest
fighter, don't you think so? And Ruhlin
is another honest fighter, and so is Jeffries;
but I'll tell you, Siler, there are only a few
of them, and you know it just as well as
I do.
"Now, about that fight between Jeffries
I and Sharkey. You know that should have
1 been stopped before the end of the twenty
[ fifth round. It became brutal after the
, twenty-third round, and as Sharkey had no {
i chance you should have stopped it."
• "It was a championship fight, Mr: Roose
-1 velt," I said, "and if I had stopped it in
[ either the twenty-third or twenty-fourth
, round the crowd would have jumped into
i the ring and lorn me limb from limb."
i "Torn you limb from limb, would they?
1 Well, I tell-you, Siler, if I had been referee
and stopped it they would not have torn
| | me limb from limb," he said, gritting his
jteeth.
'When I was at the head of the police
■ department in New York 1 did things some j
i persons did not like. A man must have j
I the courage of his convictions and 1 know
! you have, Siler, because Professor Mike
! Donovan told me numerous stories about
' you.
"But let us go back to the boxing. When
; I was in charge of the police I witnessed
| the Maher-Choynski fight. That was a
i hard fight, but it was so hotly contested
■ I could not stop it. I did, however, stop
j one of the preliminary bouts. Not because j
! it became brutal, but because one of the ]
j contestants was covered with blood and j
• it looked bad.
"You box and wrestle, Mr. Roosevelt,
don't you?"
"Xot at present, Siler. I boxed a great !
deal with Jimmy Dime and had a pro
fessional wrestler named Dwyer (I think
that was his name) who called on me sev
eral times a week and 1 usually made it
warm for him. He left Albany after work
ing with me several months, but sent a j
substitute, a big, husky fellow, but I know
more about wrestling than he did, so I I
let him go. lam getting too old for that j
sort of sport, but still like it —especially
boxing.
"Oh, by the way, Siler, do you know why
they did not want you in New York?"
"Because they could not handle me, I
suppose."
"That's just it, Slier. They could not
handle you and they could not handle me, j
and that is why they did not want either
of us."
BLOW DP STATE PRISON
PLOT IX COLORADO IS FOILED
Trusty Reveala the Conspiracy and
the Prison Barber Cuts
His Throat.
Mmw York Sun 8§»aolml Smrvtom
Denver, Col., Jan. 9.—A frustrated at
tempt to blow down the walls of the pen
itentiary at Carson City and to murder
the warden and guards, has just come to
light.
The plot was to place dynamite in the
stone yard, destroy the walls, murder
all the officers and escape. A trusty
weakened on account of the warden's
kindness, and revealed the plot. Sunday
the prisoners were kept in their cells the
entire day and the explosion did not come
off.
The trusty was suspected, and yester
day when he went to the prison barber
to be shaved the barber slit his throat
from ear to ear. He is still living and
may recover.
NO POMP FOR ARMOUR
FINERAL SERVICES ARE SIMPLE

Lien in State at the Ar
mour Mlhmlou.
Chicago, Jan. 9.—Philip Danforth Armour
was burled to-day. Private services were
held at 11 o'clock at the Armour resi
dence, 2113 Prairale avenue. The body
was then taken to the Armour mission
where from noon until 2 o'clock it lay in
state and was viewed by thousands of peo
ple. Many stood for hours In the street
for an oportunity of getting a last glimpse
I of their former friend and employer.
The services at the house were of the
| simplest character. The choir of the Sec
; ond Presbyterian church sang Mr. Ar
j mour's two favorite hymns, "Jesus, Lover
of My Soul," and "Now I Lay Me Down
to Sleep," followed by a solo, "Be Still."
Dr. Gunsaulus of Plymouth Congrega
tional church where Mr. Armour formerly
attended services, offered a prayer and
read the twemy-third psalm and the four
teenth chapter of St. John.
The house was piled with flowers, many
beautiful pieces were sent on cable orders
from far off countries and from employes
in nearly every large city.'
Public funeral services were held at 2
o'clock in Armour mission. Dr. Gunsau
lus delivered no funeral sermon, simply
reading from the fifteenth chapter of Cor
inthians. Singing by the choir followed.
The vast crowd united in the> Lord's
prayer.
The coffin was taken on a special funerai
train to Graceland cemetery, where the
body was laid to rest in the Armour fam
ily lot.

THE YEAR IN PINE
Wisconsin and lowa Men Poach on
Duluth's Preserves.
PICK UP SPECULATIVE TRACTS
Old Firms of the District Are at a
Loss for Siumpaxc-The East
ern Demand.
Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., Jan. 9.—By far the bulk
of the pine standing in this district has
been taken possession of during the year
by mill operators or heavy loggers, who,
if they do not care to cut for their own
mills, are prepared to cut on contract for
logs delivered at booms, etc., and they are
about all so heavily strengthened with the
sinews of war that their timber is not
likely to be on the market. One interest
ing and important feature of the year in
this district has been the entrance of log
gers for mills In districts farther distant
than had ever come here before, emphasiz
ing the growing scarcity of timber else
where and cutting away from the lumber
men of Duluth a good share of the ground
they had been standing upon. Large
tracts of timber on the north shore,
naturally tributary to this city or to new
mills to be located along the shore, have
been bought during the year by. Ashland
interests, some for speculation and some
for lumbering. A part of the speculative
tracts have already been sold, not to Du
luth or Minnesota men, but to Ashland
mill firms or to firms that have Wisconsin
interests. Some of these tracts are still
held by the speculative interests, and are
showing large profit on the investment
that should have been made by Duluthians
Some 60,000,000 feet have been purchased
the first instance when these men have
come from so far away for timber
to operate their mills. With these lum
bermen the question resolved Itself into
this: Should they be content with
smaller profit than others cared to make
off the same timber, and thus continue in
operation their mills, or should they tear
up and move or quit business. So the
■timber near Duluth has been sold and will
eventually reach lower lowa, Several
other deals of the same character are
under consideration, but have not yet been
closed.
Among the largest timber purchasers of
the year in the district have been the
Weyerhaeuser interests at Cloquet, Alger,
Smith & Co. of this city, the Merrill-King
Lumber company, the,estate of Thomas
Neater, etc. These are some of the old
standbys of the district, firms that have
had mills here for years and are wealthy
and well acquainted with the conditions,
who have let others take the standing
pine until they have not enough stumpage
for their mills. Some of these concerns
are this winter hardly able to lumber a
sufficient quantity to keep their mills busy
next year. One firm that a year ago
spent a large amount in refitting and over
hauling its mill is not now able to log
10,000,000 feet for a mill that should cut
three times that in 1901.
The new year opens with no change in
market conditions. Duluth still ships al
most exclusively to the east. Mills are
going in wes* to such an extent that the
possible territory there is being further
and further reduced. The advent of the
Milwaukee road has had little effect in
opening a larger field to the southwest, as
was at first expected. But the east is a
greater and greater consumer, propor-

tionately, and there is little sleep lost
here over the curtailment of the western
territory.
For the past few years local demand
has been almost nothing; few structures
of any kind have gone up. This should
shortly change, and Duluth and Superior
should consume nearly 50 per cent of their
own cut. Instead of having 400,000.000
feet for eastern shipment, they are not
likely to have more than i' 50,000,000 feet,
perhaps not so much. Heavy local con
struction is more and more of Pacific tim
ber and the receipts of that material for
the year have been very large. Western
shingles, too, are coming here in immense
quantity. The figures are almost impossi
ble of getting accurately, as custom-house
data are notoriously incomplete, but it is
claimed that more than 400,000.000 of these
shingles have been shipped east via Du
luth in the year.
The year has seen a further development
of the logging railway, and a great portion
of the logs for mills hereabouts will come
in by road than in any previous year.

CLIMB UP THE MOUNTAIN SIDE
Soldiers Pull .Themselves Ip by

"Rebel In Sight.
Washington, Jan. 9. —A recent issue of
a Manila paper gives a graphic account
of the capture and utter defeat in No
vember of the forces of the famous in
surgent leader, Geronlmo, near Monta
blan, by Colonel J. Milton Thompson and
a thousand picked men of the Twenty-sec
ond and Forty-second volunteer infantry
refgiments. Geronimo was strongly for
tified -at . Pinauran, in De Morte canon,
near Montablan, his trenches being strung
along both sides for a distance of six or
seven miles.
The time for Colonel Thompson's at
tack was set for coon on Nov. 22. The ex
pedition was divided into four detach
ments. The main force under command
of Captain Brandle was in the lead, and
while advancing through the bed of the
canyon, was the first to draw the fire of
the insurgents. The intrenched Filipinos
had allowed the column to advance well
up the canyo*n. Simultaneously with their
j volleys came the attack of the Americans
from four directions.
Then Colonel Thompson, leading the
main body, performed the feat of the en
gagement in climbing a steep wall through
dirt and underbrush and entered the "im
pregnable" fortress of the insurgent lead
er. "The men had to cut their own trails
and pull themselves up the mountain side
by grasping twigs and saplings over-
I hand."
When the Americans reached the top
there was not a live rebel in sight. The
number of insurgents killed is estimated
at from 50 to 150. The Americans lost
four killed and about a dozen wounded.
Tons of commissary and quartermaster's
stores were destroyed, including insurgent
uniforms to the number of nearly 1,500.

JYO LEASE OF ST. PAUL
Chicago Tribune Speak* by the Card
on the Financial Combine.
Chicago, Jan. 9.—The Tribune says to
day' that the facts that formed the basis
of the recent advance in the price of St.
Paul stock'have at last been learned from
an authoritative source. Says the Tribune:
There will be no lease of the road to the
Great Northern, but close relations, practic- '
ally amounting to consolidation, will be es
tablished between the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads, and these roads
will make a strong traffic contract with the
St. Paul, similar to the one now in existence
between the Chicago & North-Western and
the -Union Pacific.
..The financial combine which is bringing
about an amalgamation of ail the great rail
way systems in the country concluded that
the North-Western, with its ironclad con
tract with, the Union' Pacific, had too great
an advantage over the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul on north Pacific business.
The Canadian Pacific is understood to be
interested iii; this _ idea, having been guaran
teed a fair share of the business from both i
the Milwaukee and the St. Paul and the Chi
cago & North-Wesetrn roads in order to.
stop the rate-cutting which has heretofore"
been practiced by the Canadian road.
The intention of the financial combine, it
is said, is gradually to get control of the
Chicago Great Western and Wisconsin Cen
tral railroad.
FIFTY THOUSAND MEN
All Freight and Passenger Solicitors i
to Be Discharged..
Chicago, Jan. 9.—The Record to-day
says: The financial powers controlling
the destinies of the great railway systems
of the nation are reported to be planning
one of the biggest economical reforms in
the history of ;," American railway opera
tions. . The idea is to dispense with the
vast army of traveling passenger and
freight agents and other officials directly
engaged in the solicitation, of business for
the lines. ... .• " ; * . .:
Should the plan be carried out it means
the. discharge of more than 50,000 men
and the annual saving of millions of dol
lars to the carrying companies will be the
result. The intention of the railroads to
bring about the new reform came as a
result of the recent big deals engineered
by J. Pierpont Morgan, James J. Hill,
John D. Rockefeller and others.
Santa Fe Cheeked t'p.
Washington, Jan. 9. —The interstate com
merce commission holds, in the case of G. J.
Kiudel and the Denver Chamber of Commerce
vs the Santa Fe road, that as a matter of gen
eral application, rates at Denver, to or from
the east or to and from the Pacific coast,ought
not to be higher than those between San
Francisco or other Pacific coast terminals
and the Missouri river or points east.
In the case of east-bound traffic the car
riers' Contention that the rate ou sugar
might be higher to Denver than to the Mis
souri river, is sustained, it being found that
the circumstances aud conditions governing
the traffic are different when it is carried
to Missouri river poiuts than when it stops
at Denver. The commission also decides that
Denver is not entitled, by reason of its
being nearer to San Francisco, to a lower
rate than that in force from the Missouri
river.
Iron'Oren Rates Again.
The iron ore roads, which had such a hard
time with the late railroad aud warehouse
commissioners, have asked the new commis
sioners to reopen the ore rate cases. They
argue that the iron ore is carried under a
special form of contract, and that no dissat
isfaction exists regarding present rates. Also
that the order to reduce rates was made ar
bitrarily, and that reasonable requests for a
continuance were refused. The petition of
the roads also attacks the legality of the late
