LONDON, . Jan. 0. A dispatch from

Diplomacy has not said its last word,

The Kobe correspondent of the Daily
Express says that a collision, between
the Russian and the Japanese fleets
BARON HAYASHI.
has taken place near the islands of
Tsushima, in the strait of Korea, about
-midway between Korea and Kiushiu.
The text of the Russian reply to Ja
pan's last note has been received at
the Japanese legation here. At the lega
tion the opinion is held that the reply.
Is utterly opposed to the main Jap
anese contentions.
The Russian ambassador, Count
Benckendorff, and the Japanese minis
ter, Baron Hayashi, have visited ' the
foreign office and had half hour con
ferences with Lord Lansdowne, to
whom the text of the Russian reply to
Japan was communicated.
The British government is continuing
Its efforts in the interests of peace.
The correspondent of the Daily Mall
at Seoul says that guards for the for

and that twenty British, forty Ameri

Tokyo advices say that the elder
statesmen of Japan did not hold a con
ference, as arranged, but will probably
confer at an early date.
In the meanwhile the wildest rumors
are current.
The press unanimously demands that
the government take decisive action,
thereby preventing Russia from gain

tics. .
The people repose confidence in the
government's ability to rise to the op
portunity.
- Russia's answer to Japan makes far
reaching concessions respecting Korea,
and the concessions ate equivalent to
permitting the occupation of Korea by
Japan on lines somewhat similar to

Baltimore, Md, . Jan 9. Jack Black
burn, who teas hailed - the pugilistic
het6 of Philadelphia, owing to nls abil
ity to gfe. Champion, Joe Gans a hard
battle to the Quaker city several weeks
ago, last night received quite a setback
tc his championship, aspirations by
being clearly beaten ana outoointed by
i the veteran, 6am Bolen, m a fifteen
; round contest before the Eureka ' Ath
! letic club of thia city. The referee
called the bout a draw. His decision
was hissed . by the spectators, as - the
New Yorker1 ha clearly the advantage
of the contest from start to finish, with
the exception of the second round,
when a right uand swing to the Jaw
floored Bolen. After this the veteran
assumed the aggressive and had Black
burn guessing: -- He closed the Pbila
delphlan'3 left eye and took matters
easy. It was another case of youth
and strength against experience, skill
and knowledge :of the game, and the
latter won out Blackburn had the ad
Vantage of height and reach, but by'
clever foot work and blocking .Bolen
drew tha youngister in and then played
a regular tattoo ;on the face and body.
The Philadelphia boy at all times
seemed completely puzzled by the ac

the close of the bout he was much the
worse for wear.'
REST OF. FOUR TO ,
FIGHT JEFFRIES.
While Champion Jim Jeffries is idle,
pugilistic managers are busy trying
to find a nwinicapable of, making
things interesting for the big fighter
from' the west. : .
Billy Madden, manager of Gus Rub
lin. thinks he baa evolved a plan
whereby a fan .will be foun,d to give
Jeffries an argument.
sMadden says that the four men best
fitted to face Jeffries are Gus Ruhlin,
Tom Sbatkey Marvin Hart and Jack
Munroe. As Munroe Is now matched
to fight Sharkey, . he proposes that
Hart and Riuhlin be also , matched.
When these twc fights are settled, be
says, a fight should' be arranged be
tween the winners and that the victor
ious man be pitted against Jeffries.
Madden in talking of bis plan said:
"Jeffries iwill always fight when be
thinks bis opponent is a good one. He
does not pay nauchv attention to the
challenges fired at him at random, It
is true be has .beaten Sharkey and
Ruhlin, but, he has never met Hart or
Munroe. I don't count, that Montana
four-round affair as a fight. I am
willing to let Ruhlin fight Hart. In
fact I am anxious to see the two
meet. Hart is va good man, growing
all the time and a terrific hitter. I
understand -be wants to fight Munroe,
but he cannot do that now, for the
Montana man Is matched with Tom
Sharkey. If he can whip Ruhlin then
he will have the. chance to fight Mun
roe or Sharkey I am ready to put
Ruhlin in the ring at any place and at
any time. Now of Sharkey and Mun
roe really want;e to fight Jeffries here
is the chance. ;The public would like
to see the champion fight the best of
the four , men, 'but I don't believe it
cares to see him fight all four in
turn.". . ;
WHEN FRANK SLAVIN
WAS CLEVER.
Frank Slaving when he came fron?
Australia, was " eralded as a man who
could take any amount of punishment
without flinching. His battles
Jack Burke Jeip Smth and Jake KU
rain showed that the high estimate of
his ability in taking "gaff" were not
amiss and the manner in which he
waded through those people when they
were at the hergbt of their career left
no further doubt iu the minds of his
friends as to his prowess. In fact, he
was held in tfuch high esteem in the
minds of Stilllvan's friends that when
Slavin went to the Southern hotel in St
Iuls and shook $5,000 under the very
nose of Sullivan, then an undefeated
man, the 'blg fellow" yefused a meet
ing, 6aying that he had retired from
the ting and was perfectly willing to
hand the championship over to uie
sturdy and hnstling Australian. Then
came Slavtn's fight with Jackson, and
to this day It is referred to aa the
greatest battle that ever took place in
England. For jten rounds these won

COLLIE WHIPS
THE BULL TERRIER
jthica, N. Y., Jan. That brain
work counts more in a fight than brute
strength was Illustrated yesterday to
a group of Cornell professors, who
while returning from skating on Bebee
Lake, witnessed a tragic battle be
tween two of the best dogs in Ithlca.
For years the valuable bull terrior
owned by Dr. Luzerne CovUle has
held the championship. But one bitter
enemy bad be in, the collie oned by
Prof. W. F, Durand, bead of Sibley
College. Several times they had met
and as many times the pet of yie engi
neering college , bad been worsted.
Yesterday they mot for the last
time on the Forest Home road, just
east of Sibley College. .The collie
was being whipped, when of a sudden
it seemed to realize the opportunity
and ran to the edge of Fall Crock
Gorge, only a;, few feet away. The
professors who had tried to part the
animals dared not approach the dan
gerous spot, but the bull terrior fol
lowed, and in a moment the two were
fighting on the edge of the high precr
ipice. Getting on the safe side the
'f oxie" collie, inch by inch, pushed '
back its opponent until over the edge
It sent the bull terrior, a hundred
feet to Its death. : Then with a tri

- The record Of Maud SM 2: 08. ac
cording to the ruling of the board, is
, likely to 6tand forever undisturbed, a'
least as far Lou Dillon and Major
Delmar are concerned, or any otner
trotter that shall win ; a record faster
than s the high wheel sulky record ' of
2:08. The board's decision is ( tha'
when a horse" makes a record to pneumatic-sulky
he cannot make another to
a hi - b wheeled sulky, unless his record
to a pneumatic vehicle is slower, v-
the one he has. previously , made to an
Old fashioned rig.
It will be easily seen that In order
for Lou Dillon to obtain the .high
wheeled sulky record it will be neces
sary for her to trot a mile faster than
1:58. which Is her dirt shield pneu
matic sulky record, and it certainly
would be a marvelous ' performance
were she to accomplish this feat It
appears as If the board has secured

tories from-, fifteen and twentv ' yards
"back of scratch," in Australia, Iver
Lawson and Fjyd McFarland met
with misfortune and failed to capture
the greatest event of all the Austr
wheel race, with its first prize of $2,
500. The final of the Austral was tun
on the Melboum cricket grounds on
December 12. The grass course was
rough and McFarland fell -h " broke
his collar bone. This spoiled all plans
for team work and Lawson eat up and
ceased striving. The race was won by
Schepa, who started from the 160-yard
mark.. Hawker, SOO yars. was second,
and Meyer, 320 yards, was third.
: The AustraJ remains the greatest cy
cling race1 in the world, although the
Sydney Thousand hag during the last
three years Supplanted ' it as the race
offering the biggest ; purse. The new
contest bangs up a purse of 1,000,
but the Austral, with its 500 for
first, 140 for second and 70 for
third, will always be a more classic
event, because of its more strenuous
character and Its historic "associations.
' The Austral is a two-mile . handicap
and Is run on' a grass course ' Which
makes the going dangerous unless the
weather Is fine. It Is run in aperies
Of trials ' and semi-finals, extending
oveT three Saturdays, nd is' attended
by immense throngs ' of ' spectators
Aj.any noted riders, .Including Zimmer
man, have competed in" the race since
It was instituted in 18S6. Last month
there were 131 starters, with only the
Americans , on crach even the Aus
tralian champion. Walker, receiving a
start on them.
