SaE Francisco. Dec. 20.—George
Gardner of Lowell, Mass., and "Kid
Carter of Brooklyn met tonight at Me-
chanics Pavilion under the auspices
of the San Francisco Atheltic club, in
what was announced as a contest for
the middleweight, championship of {lie
world. Gardner clearly established
his right to the title by knocking out
Carter in the eighth round.
The men had met twice before un-
der similar conditions and on each
occasion the Lowell lad was returned
a winner. Tonight's result clearly ac
centuated Gardner’s superiority over
Carter, and as the latter recently
knocked out Joe Wolcott the victory
is significant.
Tonight’s contest was one of the
fiercest witnessed in this city. Gard-
ner was the aggressor from the start.
He went at his opponent in a system-
atic manner and before the fourth
round had been concluded he had cut
the Brooklyn boy’s face into ribbons.
In the fifth, sixth and seventh
rounds he landed frequently with right
and left uppercuts to Jaw, and in Hie
latter two rotffils the gong saved Qajy
ter on each occasion.
In the eighth Gardner rained, blow
after blow on his practically beaten
opponent’^ face, the latter finally go-
ing to the floor and remaining there
until ten seconds had been counted by
Referee Jim McDonald. Carter's abil-
ity to stand punishment was a reve-
lation and stood him well in hand. No
other man could have lasted five
rounds under the terrible punishment
which Gardner Inflicted. Both victor
and vanquished were tremendously
cheered as they left the ring.
Gardner-Carter Bout.
San Francisco, Dec. 20.—In the pre-
liminary to the Gardner-Carter bout
at Mechanics Pavilion tonight Win-
nie O'Connor, reputed to lie the lead-
ing as well as the most popular jockey
in the country, made his initial bow
In the squared arena. He was pitted
against Johnny Crowell, a local ban-
tam of no mean ability. The bout
went four rounds to a draw. O’Connor
displayed much ability in his new vo-
cation. The next preliminary was be-
tween Toby Irwin and Artie Granfield.
Irwin floored his man in the second
round with a vicious left to face and
the latter failed to respond within the
prescribed ten seconds.
O’Rourke Defeated.
Baltimore, Dec. 20.—Young Peter
Jackson defeated Charlie O’Rourke of
Boston in the fourth round tonight be-
fore the Eureka Athletic club.
O’Rourke Was knocked down twice
in succession and was practically out
when his seconds threw up the sponge.
He gave a beautiful exhibition of box,-,
ing for three rounds, but Jackson's
superior strength was too much for
him and he was badly used tip in the
last round.
Corbett and Jeffries Meet.
Denver, Dec. 20. -A program that
may prove the opening of prize fighUs
Ing again in this clIS. was carried out
at Coliseum Hal), the former head-
quarters of the Colorado Athletic club,
tonight, without police interference.
The participants in the ring confined
themselves to sparring and the events
were mostly three round bouts be-
tween local men. The feature was the
appearance of the featherweight and
heavyweight champions, respectfully,
“.Young Corbett" and James .1. Jeffries.
Previous to their appearing with their
sparing partners the champions were
pitted against each other for three
rounds, affording much amusement to
the spectators. To the crowd they
both announced readiness to defend
their championship titles against all
comers.

/ Gardner-Whitaker Meet.
Washington, Dec. 20.—It is Secre-
tary Gage’s intention to relinquish the
treasury portfolio as soon as Presi-
dent Roosevelt can find a suitable suc-
cessor, and he has so informed the
president. Gage would like to be re-
lieved before spring. The president
has done all he could to dissuade Mr.
Gage from retiring, and will probably
continue to use his efforts in that di-
rection.
After the cabinet meeting Secretary
Gage declined to say anything about
the rumors of his resignation beyond
a simple statement that he had not
“formally" resigned. “What I may or
may not do eventually 1 am not pre-
pared to say now.” said the secretary,
"hut I can say the relations between
the president and myself are perfectly
cordial. He would do almost any-
thing 1 would ask and I would do al-
most anything he might ask.”
Wilson Wants Money.
Washington, Dec. 20.—Secretary
Wilson today stated that the discon-
tinuance of microscopical inspection
of meats sent abroad would mean an
entire suspension of exports, and lose
usi $20,000,000 worth of irfeats annual-
ly sold to Germany. The lack of
funds, he explained, was due to the
increased work of the past year and
the two weeks’ leave of absence
granted each employe of the bureau
outside of this city, which necessita-
ted the employment of additional men.
Secretary Wilson said he had asked
congress to make part of the appro-
priation for the coming year imme-
diately available, and that he had
no doubt congress would grant this
authority, as it has done so frequently
in previous years.
"I have no doubt." he added, “that
the microscopical inspection will pro-
ceed, notwithstanding the notice given
the packing interests through the bu-
reau of animal industry.”
Want the Case Ended.
Washington, Dec. 20.—Judge Advo-
cate Lemly and Solicitor Hanna this
afternoon submitted to Secretary
Long their report on the bill of ob-
jections filed by Admiral Schley,
through his counsel, to the findings of
the Schley court of inquiry. Iji sub-
stance the report rs an argument sup-
plementary to that made before the
court on the principal points, insist-
ing upon their contention that the
first report be the unanimous report
of the court of inquiry; that, the court
was justified in rejecting Schley's evi-
dence by a number of witnesses who
took issue with him, -and that there
is not sufficient reason for reopening
the case as requested by Schley.

Wakeman to Go Out.
Washington. Dec. 20.—At a confer-
ence today between the president and
Secretary Gage it is understood it
was decided to summarily remove Ap-
praiser Wakeman. Wakeman, it is
said, wrote the president, attacking
Secretary Gage. The president re-
fused to entertain charges or overlook
the offensive character of the letter.
It was announced at the White
House that the president removed Ap-
praiser Wakeman of New York on
the recommendation of Secretary
Gage. He will be succeeded by
George Whitehead of New York.
Sampson in Fair Health.
Washington. Dec. 20.—Dr. W. S.
Dixon, the physician in attendance
upon Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson,
today made the following statement
regarding his patient's condition;
“The admiral is not in any imme-
diate danger. He goes out for exer-
cise every day, weather permitting.
He smokes his cigar after dinner..
He is not feeble, but just in impaired
health. His heart action is quite vig-
orous. His life may be prolonged for
many years, or it may be very brief,
so far as any one knows.”
Omaha. Neb., Dec. 20. - Oscar Gard-
ner and Jack Whitaker of Cleveland,
both featherweights, fought twenty
rounds to a draw at South Omaha to-
night. Gardner did most, of the lead-
ing, and was the aggressor during the
greater part of the fight.
Change of Inauguration Date.
The proposition to change the date
of inauguration from the 4th of March
to some time in April is revived by
Senator Hoar, who wants the last
Wednesday in that month fixed as the
new inauguration day, says the Wash-
ington Star.
“I am going to introduce a bill fix-
ing the last Thursday in April as in-
auguration day,” said Senator Bur-
rows yesterday. “This is because
Washington was inaugurated on
Thursday, and if we fix a new date,
as we ought to, we might as well have
our presidents inaugurated on the
same day of the week which Washing-
ton honored."

The Dallas News, after saying that,
"the confirmation of Captain Garrett
removes the El Paso case from con-
troversy, and that the New Mexico
contingent is delighted,” makes the
surprising statement that “from no
place came indorsements for Garrett
stronger than those from El Paso."
The mai'shalship of the Western
district of Texas will come up for the
president's decision next month.
The reappointment of Governor M.
A. Otero as governor of New Mexico
was expected and the New Mexico
delegation is quite happy over the
president’s action. Governor Otero
has a record as a territorial governor,
and if his party is dominant when
New Mexico becomes a state, he will
fare well. Both parties in New Mex-
ico are working harmoniously for
statehood. They have declared a
truce until they succeed.
