OMAHA, May ia prize fight took
place this morning near Clear Creek,
about forty miles from Omaha, between
James Fell, a miner from Rich Hill,
Missouri, and Jack Hanley, the champion
of Colorado, for a purse of 5000. A
special train left Omaha about 9 o'clock
for the scene. There were over one hun
dred sports on board who paid ten dollars
a ticket, and also quite a party OF news
paper men. On arriving at the battle
ground a t~wenty-four foot ring was
pitched, referees, etc, chosen, and all
other preliminaries arranged by 6 o'clock.
Fell and Hanley. who had been in train
ing for several weeks in Omaha, were in
fine condition and stepped into the ring
and the fight began. Twenty-Five rounds
were fought, both men being badly pun
ished, Hanley about the face and Fell
about the body, Hanley was inclined to
make foul breaks and several times
pricked Fell with his shoe spikes and also
would not let go when they clinched.
He was warned to stop this but finally in
the twenty-second round he made a bad
foul and the referee decided the fight in
favor of Fell. Both men showed CON
siderable science and endurance. The
fight lasted one hour. The crowd while
on the return trip got to fighting on the
cars and finally there was a general ex-
change of shots, resulting in three men
being wounded. One man was shot
in the head dangerously, another in the
chin and another in the arm. Upon
reaching Omaha the wounded men were
quickly taken from the train in carriages
and removed to different places. The
names have not yet been ascertained as
no one in the crowd is willing to give any
thing away. 1t was a most disgraceful
affair. The authorities will probably en-
deayor to punish all concerned.

CHICAGO, May l3.-Cyrus II. mcCor-
mick, head of the great harvester manu-
featuring company and supposed to be

yention. He founded and literally
endowed the Theological seminary of the
Northwest, conducted under the auspices

inpton and Union Theological colleges OF

He believed all England would say aye

tary for Ireland,) made a vehement

by vociferous cheers on the part of the
Conservatives. an this instance" said

Mr.. Harrington, Secretary of State for

for General Gordon's safety and they had
no desire to disavow this responsibility.
He defended the Governments course

risk and suffering to be incurred in dis
patching a force to the latter place. He
denied that the Government were nego-

of General Gordon but said the expedi-
ton to crush the Mahdi was beyond the
responsibility of the Government. The

WASHINGTON, Mayl3.-The next mea-
sure considered was Mr.. Townshend's bill
providing hat hereafter no territory shall
form a constitution or apply for admission
as a state into the union until it shall CON
tain a permanent population equal to that
required in congressional districts, in order
to entitle it to representation in the house.
Mr.. Kasson criticised the bill as useless
andin violation of the spirit of the consti-
tuition, in that it denied to people in the
territories the right of petition in its high
est form.
Mr.. Hardeman denied that it touched
upon the right of petition, but declared it
merely said, that as justice to old states it
would not give to people of the territories
a basis of representation which old states
did not have.
Mr.. Cox On. Y favored the bill be-
cause it would have moral emphasis, and
because it was nothing but fair, just re
striction on the rights of popular or squat
ter sovereignty.
Mr.. Brent protested against the bill as
working an injustice to the people of the
territories.
Mr.. Keifer opposed it as unconstitutional
Mr.. Horn characterized it as nothing but
buncombe.
Mr.. Hammond thought it an unwise and
futile attempt by this congress to bind
another.
Mr.. Potter expressed himselfin its favor.
1t was, he thought, time for congress to
advance that it was policy for the country
that great people of great states were no
longer to be overridden by admitting the
states on the frontier when they had a
population insufficient to make a respecta-
BILE town in one of the older states.
Mr.. Townshend said the object ofthe bill
was to inform the territories that until
they attained their majority they could
not enter into their inheritance.
Mr.. Hammond moved to lay the bill on
the table. Agreed to, 100 to 10.
Bills passed extending the jurisdiction
of justices of peace in Wyoming and pro
vided that hereafter the legislature of
Dakota shall consist of twenty-four mem
bers in the council and forty-eight mem
bers in the house.

listened to with deep interest. DR.. Buck
ley said Of the bishops who welcomed the
general conference to this city twenty
years ago, that the only one remaining
was the Chrysostom of our church, Bishop
Simpson. He made touching illusions to
the love and esteem of members of the
conference for the venerable bishop, and
their solicltpde for the speedy recovery of
his health,
