An Associated Press dispatch yesterday
made the painful announcement that the
pugilist Sullivan is not likely to die soon,
after all, and that what was described in pre-

turns out to have been nothing but claret that
oozed from his mouth while he was a little
more beastly drunk than usual. It's pity
Co have that preparation" of his for dying
wasted, by not going right along and COM
plotting the job while he was about it. Be-
sides, the first time he takes the ring again
he's likely to get all the sanctity, that he SO
suddenly took on board for dying purposes
knocked into smithereens.
RESPONSIVE STATEMENT jackson
returned yesterday from trip to an ad.
joini2g county, where he had traced bur.
gla-- hfofn@his city. Calling at this office
he desires it stated that while he does not
wish to publish card about his official
doings or the performance of his duties. he
desires that is be stated, in reference to the
card of II. G. Hotflter. published during
his absence, that he did nothing whatever
in working up the case complained of that
he was not fully authorized by law to do,
and which he did not deem necessary, and
for the best interests of the public service,
il the detection of crime; that in the
prosecution of his duties no regard is
ever paid to the fact whether a
parson concerned is an American
born citizen or otherwise that in the
case referred to, he had succeeded after
several days and nights of hard work, in
tracing, as he believed, and as q party ar
rested for burglary had already confessed,
portion of the stolen iswelry as having been
sold to Hotfilter for old gold that portion
of the jewelry thus purchased by Hotflter
was melted after Jackson had been once at
his place of business and while be was tax
ing steps TO prove its identity, thereby en-
tirely destroying necessary evidence that
after the great trouble he had been to in fol-
lowing up the case and arresting guilty
party, he was greatly exasperated at being
thus defeated at the last moment by the con-
duct of Hotfilter in melting the ring, and
felt justified in denouncing the act which he
acknowledges to have done in vigorous terms
that the burglary having been confessed by
party then in the city prison, and by rea-
son of the facts stated, he was acting with
due authority of law in taking the person to
the police station to whom it was claimed
the jewelry had been sold, for the purpose of
Identification, and having done SO to release
him also that the case will be duly inves-
tieated in a short time by the Courts, upon
the results of which, Mr.. Jackson states, he
relies for his full vindication in the matter.
