It la understood that the actual leaders of the party on both sides will be In the meeting- either a members or by proxy, and a hot debate Is likely. It will give the first opportunity for each Side to express Its views sines the movement took con. crete form. 1 The size of the committee -will make quite a large meeting If none but members Is admitted. A majority of the committee are opposed to the convention Idea, and it la said that such men as Swansort, Hay.

Rhea and even Senator Daniel will be found on hand when the meeting Is called to order, and will oppose the request of the league. The War Department officials confirm tha statement from West Point that the Academic Board haa recommended that George Mason Lee. son of Gen. Fits-Tough Lee, and others be dropped on account of deficiency In The department record shows that everything possible has been done to enable youug Lee to continue st the academy and to He waa appointed to tha academy In 1897 by Tucker, and from the beginning had a most difficult time to keep up with his studies. He waa found deficient in 1S93.

and turned back. Soon after he again feu behind in mathematics, ana. si though a strict construction would have required him to be dropped then, he waa continued on probation. It ia said that nothing further can be done in his case. Nearly the same conditions existed In the case of Richard P.

Williams, of Arizona, a son of the late Col. Williams, who has also been dropped by tha board. a The Virginia Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement to-night "whereby the census supervisors allotted tha State will be equally divided, the Democrats naming five and the Repub- licans five.

KNOCKED DOWN BY A HAMMER. Said To Em Put tha Wall of a Barn Tan Inches Out of Flaca With His Fist. M'COY THINKS WEIGHT TOLD. IXCB Jim Jeffries Is now the champion, and since so little Is known of hfs former life, stories of his career will' be of Interest. Hera are several from Loa Angeles, bla home: Prof.

Baker, Jeffrie teacher In the. East Loa Angeles school, remembers very dis tinctly, one Incident connected with tha big fellow. The teacher was In the habit of playing ball with his. boys during recess, and had tha trick, if he saw any of the players star-gazing or day dreaming on bases or In the field, to shy the ball at them, without much' care' as to how hard It hit One day he detected TJiin," who on second base, standing on his heart and guying him. Without a word, whizz went the ball from the professor's hand, and It hit Jlm" In the stomach, doubling him up for a few moments.

But he never said a word, though even then- he could have broken tha teacher Into small bits with one hand, but ha waited 'his time. Tha teacher waa on first basa and took advantage of a lull to remove hla glasses and wipe them, meanwhile looking any where but at tha spot he should have directed hla gaze. Swish went the bail at him from "Jim's" sturdy arm. and though It waa aimed at the same place where the thrower had Just been hit. It went wild and struck tha teacher full in the face, smashing hla glasses, knocking him over and placing htm out of tha game.

The big fellow ran up at once to apologize and help tha teacher, but the latter took the mat ter philosophically and remarked: "This makes us about even, 'Jim, and I think we had better quit throwing the ball at each other now. You are a pretty strong boy. At the East Los Angeles Boiler Works, where "Jim" waa employed for some time, there Is a story that haa been handed down from on set of workmen to another about the "sand" of tha young fighter. Tha men were skylarking about the place, and one of them threw a fourteen-pound hammer In "Jim' direction, not Intending to hit mm. to tne terror 01 all the iron mass struck him full in the chest and knocked him down; the man who had thrown tha missile was at first afraid that be had killed "Jim," and then feared ha had not.

for ha expected that If the lusty youth waa not disabled he would retaliate with a fearful beating. Even at that time none of the men could atand up against him. Jim" arose, a little red in the face, shook himself a bit. and then carelessly remark ed. "You fellows ought to be a little mora careful when you go to slinging sledge narnmers aoout tnat way.

Tom Jefinea. brother, tells another Incident about "Jim," which Illustrates his power of standing pain. He was with some young fellows about a barn which wi being painaed. when one of the Iron hooka supporting a scaffold from the roof gave way and fell. Tha hook, which weighed twenty pounds, struck "Jim" squarely be tween tne snouioers.

gouging out a bit or neah as big aa an ordinary man a fist. The Injured man got. to his feet immediately and said, with a laugh: "That might have hurt me more if It had hit my head." He hardly gave the wound any care at all. and It healed almost at once, so heal- thy was his bodily condition. "Tom jennes minus that no one.

not even "Jim" himself, knows how strong ha is. "One trouble with him In a fight." said "Tom" to-day, that he ia afraid often to hit as hard aa he can for fear of killing hla man. I was boxing with him one time." ha continued, "and waa apparently getting the better of him in counts, when a bystander began to laugh at him and taunt him. 'Jim' stood this for some time, and then I saw his face harden and his muscles grow tense, and I knew trouble waa coming. 'I'll fix you Jurt I heard htm mutter, and then I dodged just as his fist launched out, and I give you my word it hit tha side of the barn wo were in and knocked the whole aide nearly, ten inches out of place.

'I'm awful glad I did not hit you ho said at once, and so was I. for It surely would have killed me. 'Jim does not dare to hit a man with full-force, though-he may act defferentiy with Fits. Why. one time after he had been ill, he went to the mountains with C.

W. Merry for recuperation, and on day ha killed a buck nine miles away front camp. This waa near Tehachapi, and you know that country Is not like the sidewalk on Spring street to walk over. tossed that buck across hla shoulders, and. without putting down his load, tramped all those nine miles Into camp and waa then not very tired." 'Jim' haa sand enough.

He eaa stand punishment all day long. He does not get angry easily, though his good temper perhaps has given him tha reputation of being easy. I remember one time was being hectored by another boy, who waa teasing him beyond endurance, daring him to fight. Finally 'Jim' began to get Irritated, and. walking up to the fellow and sticking out his face, said to him: 'Just hit me as hard aa you can on my ear, and then I will feel like licking you.

"The bov looked at the glowering eyes in front of him and walked away without a word more about fight." The finish of Friday night's fight Is told of as follows by a well-known ring follower: "Jeffries rushed with an his strength and vtiror. Ills great left hand twice swung swiftly to Bob's Jaw. Both blows were like mallets. F1ts stood stock still a moment until the Californlaa land, ed his left again. Than he began to wobble.

Jeffries was blazing with excitement. It was the last straw, and with a right, which waa well aimed and had a terrific amount of power behind It. ha caught Kitzsimmona sqintrely on the point of the Jaw. This blow won the heavy-weight championship of tha world, for Fits fell over backward, and his head struck the floor with a crash. Ha rolled about con.

vuirlvely for moment, and then lay prone upon hla bark. Insensible. "The blood was flowing from Fttsalra-muna'' mouth, and In a moment the vast crowd was in an uproar. The decisive moment had arrived before anyone had fully realised it. The idea, of Fltsslmmona, the conqueror, being put to.

sleep by a. man who had hitherto been regarded aa a second-rater waa too much for the sports, and for a moment there was silent amazement. Then in another moment the crowd came to life, and one of the wildest- scenes ever wltneased occurred. The referee waited for the. tline-kecper to count off the ten seconds, and at tha expiration of the limit he waved his fasnds to the crowd as a signal that the right was over and Jeffries was the victor.

Men leaped Into the ring frpm all aides and danced for Joy. "Jeffries stood looking at his fallen foe with an expression on his face that was a picture. Through his mind flashed visions of future-conquests. haps of gold and popularity all over the country, for as a native-born American he had beaten one of the greatest fighters in the world who was a foreigner by birth, though In re cent years had sworn allegiance to Uncle Sam. Jeffries could not realise his suc cess until Brady leaped through tha rcpea and.

throwing his arms around tne new champion's neck. klsed him on the chtek. Irt-laney and Jeffries' brother hugged and kissed him. too. A dozen wiM-eved meu who had gotten into the ring tried to grab his hands.

The crowd ctyeercd incessant- BRITONS A1UST HERE is no longer any $oubt that Harvard and Tale will accept the challenge of the English universities, Oxford and Cam bridge, to a dual meeting la track athletics. 1 Ail four cf the colleges are anxious to engage In such a struggle, and no serious obstacle has presented Itself to prevent the meeting taking place. With tha International contest an assured fact, the students of athletic form are hard at work guessing the outcome. While the conditions of the challenge have not been made public. It Is understood that tha events will be nine In number and that only first places will count on tha score-board.

The events proposed by tha Englishmen Include a IW-yard dash, quarter-mile calf-mils run. run. three-mile run. no-yard hurdle race, broad Jump, Wsh Jump and throwing tha sixteen-pound hammer. A comparison of the records show that each team Is practically sure of winning four events and that one event, the La-yard hurdle race, is doubtful.

At any rate, that ia what It looks Ilka on paper, a very uncertain thing to go by. C. R. Thomas, of Oxford, should capture tha 100-yard sprint. At tha Oxford games en March ha ran tha distance In 10 seconds; A.

L. Hind, of Cambridge, is probably good for 10 1-E seconds. K. J. Quintan, of Harvard, and T.

B. Flaher. of Yale, will probably oppose the English flyers. Both have received credit for running the distance In even time. Owing to this fact, some enthusiasts are disposed to add the hundred to the doubtful column.

E. A. Blount, of Tale, who won the sprint at tha Yale-Harvard games, broke down at the intercollegiate championship, so can not be' considered. Cap. J.

T. Roebe. of Harvard, also Iy. and the big fellow looked ever the ropea and bowed In response. 'Over in FKssimmons corner was another state of affaire.

The Cornishman had been picked up by Julian and Big Ken-nay and literally dragged to his chair. Hia face was bloody, his eyes were closed and ha waa temporarily dead to the world. His seconds worked over him with vigor, wiping the blood from bis face and using restoratives. In a few moments Fits opened his eyes snd looked serosa the ring. It dawned upon him what bad happened and he spoke not a word.

Hia heart waa broken and his fame was gone, but he waa not disgraced, because be had put up a game, hard, vicious fight against the greatest heavy-weight in the world since the days of John L. Sullivan. Fitzslmmons soon got upon his feet and doggedly walked out of the ring." After the fight Kid McCoy declared: "The fight went longer than expected to sea It. It is needless to aay that waa greatly surprised at Jeffries wonderful Improvement. He proved himself more scientific, quicker snd with better Judgment than I had expected.

Fltxslmmons. who is one of the cleveest fighters and beat generals in the ring, should have won the fight. It waa a magnificent battle and at the start it looked as if Fltssimmons would win. I looked for a shorter fight. "If I were asked whatmade Fitzslmmcns lose I would simply ay Jeffries.

He proved himself a great fighter and will defend his title. Tha fight showed the evident fact that a vary clever man at 1S7 pounds is no match for a very clever man at 210.

This contest excited th curiosity of Jef frie to th extant- of his applying for th position of "rough worker with Jin Cor bett when th latter was training for his contest wUa Fltzslnunons at Carson City.

Fltssimmons the silver watcn was not there snd he lost If th championship goes with this watch it will be a long time lieore It leave me. JAMES J. I HERS Is a general I among those who look oa 1 I tha fistic game with merely a casual glance that Jim Jeffries was not In the same pugilistic class as is Bob Fltxslmmons, and would' therefore fall an easy victim to the freakish Cornishman.

It will be perhaps Interesting ta that part of the public to read something of this young giant who went against tha champion of the world Friday night. Jeffries is a Boilermaker, but before ho learned that trade, and Indeed for torn time after, was one of the greatest hunters of the country. In going after Fltjsim-' mens Jeffries simply followed bis' natural bent of going after the biggest gtuaeiti sight. He Is used to the giant grlzxty of the native fastnesses cf California. -an Has killed more of them than he has Bve: years.

His deer record is one to be prou(l of. but the big fellow is never heard speak of It often. He was noted for year as a hunter of big game. The creaturaa ba scorned, but he' was alwayi ready to lead- a party In search th--gtixxly bear or deer. Ever Beady For rights.

This has made him theremarkatty -ged- Athlete, he is ro--tv. like him in tha lie does net t. what fear is, and has ben used to belaj a leader in sll that he has undertaken. As a hunter he waa the beat In his part ef the country. At his trsds ha was known far snd wids as th best in th business, and his services were always in demand.

As a rough snd tumble fighter he was at the top of th heap. But there was never anything of the bully about htm. It was only when a bully appeared that the fight. mg instinct of the giant made Itself prominent. Then he was always ready i or in fray, is claimed this Is bow Jeffries got intoiT4 in ngntmg buainees, A gigantic colorcV I man cam to hia town one day and offered seat anybody la the Jeffries was hunted up at once, and as toon as I rouna said he would give the strangsr a oaiue.

I fought my hardest, but he reached me. in spits of all I could do. Jeffries made a great fight far greater than I be- lieved he could ever do. I have no excuse to make. I suppose I might say I went In one often, but I thought I could do what I had done with so many of them.
