"SPARRING FOR POINTS,
An Exhibition that Filled New York Audi

New YORK Nov "a. - The much-talked-of
boxing match between Charles Mitchell and Jack
Burk, who were to have fought eight rounds
under Marquis of Queensbury rules, at Madison
square Garden tonight, turned out iasco.
About 500 spectators and fifty reporters went to
see the great exhibition at 'sparring for points"
among the 500 were the police cap
tains of the various precincts of the
city, who had been specially ordered to be pres
ent. One sport remarked: This is the funeral
of glove fights in New York" At 10 o'clock
Mitchell and Burke appeared on the stage, ac-
companied by Billy Madden. Bob Smith an
nounced that, lin consequence of the interest
taken in the match by the district attorney and
the police, and from desire that all present
should be able to get home in time to drown
their sorrows, Messrs. Mitchell and Burke would
give Quaker exhibition of sparring in three
rounds, according to the last rules of the peace
society" The men were dressed in plain white
tights and drawers. When time called
they advanced toward each other offered the
right hand of fellowship and drew back to ad
mire each other; they ''chucked" each other un-
der the chin and smoothed one anothers cheek
in a really affectionate way once or twice, and
when the first three minutes were over they
gracefully bowed and retired to their corners.
The crowd, which had increased, perhaps to one
thousand persons, groaned teeIIngy but the
fighters only smiled.
The second and third rounds were similar
Once Mitchell pushed his cheek against Burke's
glove, for which Burke apologized; then Mitchell
patted his opponents right cheek, and in script

could in the formers mouth. So it went on

MADRID Nov 24-The conflict between the
authorities and the students of the university
grows daily more serious Hundreds of arrests
are being made, in effecting which large num-
bers of people have been wounded, including
several members of the police force The gov

rector, to succeed the Sagastan rector, who re-
signed last week. The military precautions that
have been adopted cause the streets to resemble
city in state of siege, and the press retaliates
with violence upon these restraints.
The government at the request of the profess
sors, consented to withdraw the police and
military stationed at the university and a
conflict will be averted. Fifty-three professors
have petitioned the government to convoke the

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Nov. PA good deal of specu-
lation has been indulged in here during the past
week regarding the future of Congressman Sam
uel j. Randall, of Pennsylvania For many
years he has been the leader of the Democratic
side of the House. He has the keen
est foresight and the readiest hindsight.
He is the deepest political economist in the
party in the House, and is in the full vigor of
his manhood. But the late turn of affairs in his
party, it is thought, will leave him as but dis
turbing element in his dominion of congressional
labors. He will be to the House what John
Kelly is to New York-the leader of band
that, Joined to the opposition, will make a ma
jority.
Mr. Randall is a master parliamentarian and
is so apt in his line that he can defeat almost
any proposition made. He is a great financier
and since it is stated that he can figure promi-
nently in Mr.. Clevelands Cabinet and since he
will be a fallen star in the House, where tariff
protection is under foot, it is question whether
he would prefer to make his mark in another
field for four years. Some of his most intimate
friends say he would Should he go out of the

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-The motion for an attach
ment to compel County Clerk Ryan to produce
the tally-sheets, poll-book and ballots of the
Second precinct of the Eighteenth ward of this
city was argued in the federal court this morn
ing. The allegation is made that the returns
from that precinct were tampered with in the
Leman-Brand senatorial contest, the final de-
termination of which will settle the question of
Republican or Democratic majority on
joint ballot in the State Legisla-
ture. The attorneys for Ryan denied
the jurisdiction of the federal court, but Judge
Blodgett declared the court clearly had iurs-
diction, and directed the county clerk to produce
the ballots, poll book and tally sheets before the
grand jury within one hour. The grand jury in
the meantime adjourned to- o'clock.
Before the grand jury reconvened, an attor-
ney appeared before Judge Blodgett, saying he
represented candidate for the House of Repre-
sentatlves of the State Legislature whose
district included the disputed precinct;
that, according to the returns made his
hopes that recount of the ballots in a regular
election contest would show his client elected,
and, finally, that if the federal grand jury were
allowed to handle the ballots it would prejudice
his clients case
On this statement the Judge decided to hear
further argument tomorrow, and ordered that,
IN the meantime the grand jury should not have
access to the ballots. County Clerk Ryan there
fore appeared before that body at o'clock with
only the poll-book and tally-sheet which wero
inspected by an expert from the sub-treasury.
The result Of the inspection was not made public.

LONDON, Nov. 24-The labcrs of the special
government commission which was appointed by
the federal council several months ago, to in
quire into the of the frightful increase of
drunkenness in the Swiss republic, and to sug-
gest remedy, have resulted in decisive action
by the council 1t is admitted that the evil in
vestigated is to be attributed entirely to the ex-
traordinary cheapness of the French brandies
and their native limitations. The cheapness of
these vile and intoxicating compounds has
made of them, within comparatively
short time, a national beverage for the
Swiss The commission found French brandy
bottles in cupboards of the poorest peasants,
and cite countless cases of once prosperous
estates and families brought to absolute ruin and
wreck by the intemperance, thriftlessness and
impotency caused by free and long-continued use
of cheap brandy. The remedy proposed is law
of almost unprecedented prohibitory power 1t
will make the duty on imported brandies so high
as to absolutely bar them from the country and
will tax all domestic manufactures of the liquor
except those expressly made for export so heav-
lily as to make the procurement of brandy in any
form by any but the very rich practically impos-
sible in Switzerland. The federal council have
agreed on the form of the proposed enactment,
rnd it is believed the bill will meet with but
little, if any, opposition.
