tween Patsy Cardiff and Billy Wilson. The
crowd was mixed, white and colered. but order
ly. Eight rounds were fought, and the fight
awarded to Cardiff on the ninth Cardiff threw
Wilson heavily to the ground several times and
then fell heavily upon him with vigorous knee
action below the belt, which winded his antagonist
In one round, Wilson crowded Cardiff desperately
and dealt him a series of very effective body
blows bat the wrestling tactics soon weakened

Wilson down, and, instead of going back to his
corner, stood over him ten seconds. menacing
him with a knock out. Wilson declined to get
up. and the fight was awarded to Cardiff Car

trained of the two. and better able to avail him
self of the advantage which came of clinching

Wilson's hackers offered to put up money ON an
other fight, but Cardiff's friends refused. Cardiff
drew the first blood. and gave the only knock

ened eyes, and Wilson had badly cut lip.

similar. For instance it has been held by the
department, and it now holds good, that lamb
skin is subject to duty fur, although it is
really the skin of a young sheep. If we held
that it was subject to duty as sheep skin the
duty would be very much less than that assessed
under the rulings of the department.
1t will be seen from this instance that the
tariff laws should be revised upon systematic
basis 1t is not necessary to reduce the tariff,
perhaps, but the complicated laws which have
to be passed upon every week should certainly
receive prompt congressional action in order
that these fine points may not be left to the
discretion of oftentimes incompetent officials.

citizen residing at Port au Prince, was arrested
on the 9th of March, 1884, and imprisoned on a
judgment for So, 900 rendered against him some
months previously in favor of Toplitz 81 Co., Of
New York city. After Mr. Van Brokklen's i'm
prisonment, other parties instituted proceedings
and obtained judgments against him in the Hay
tian courts, which, under Haytian laws,
involved a further term Of imprison-
ment Subsequent to the decisions in
favor of Toplitz & Co., Mr.. Van Brokklen
undertook to make judicial assignment of his
property in favor of his creditors. The civil
tribunal at Port-au- Prince decided against his
right to make an assignment. By Haytian laws

offer real estate to the government as security

alien, could not hold real estate in Hayti. aud

provides that American citizens shall have the
same rights as Haytans IL courts OF justice

Alliance with the Irish Party.
LONDON, June 13.--The annual dinner of the
Golden Club took place tonight. Among the
speakers were Sir Charles Dixie, who said that,
although England had great interests In Egypt,
other Europeon powers we're also entitled to a
voice in the settlement of the future of that
country Those powers, however, ought to give
guaranty for the neutrality of Egypt, SINH

GUM He believed the cooperation of the pow
ers and the Porte would insure tranquility in
Egypt In respect to Ireland he said he desired
for that country the same forms of good govern
ment as for England. He urged Englishmen to
give Ireland the same municipal and imperial
franchise as enjoyed by themselves. English
men, he said, have no conception of the imper-
fection of the municipal government, or the
meaning of the grand jury system, or the griev-
ances imposed upon the people of Cork, LINER
lex and Belfast. These people are compelled to
obtain the sanction of England for every small
private bill affecting local interests Those
abuses, he contended, were source of weakness
and darger to the English connection.

MRS. WOODwORTHs MEETINGS.
Over Four Hundred Conversions Claimed to
Date Baptismal Services Yesterday.
Fnecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
KoKoMo Ind, June 14.-To-day closed the
twenty-third day of the labors of Mrs. Wood
worth at Kokomo, which have been remarkable
in the annals Of our local history. The meetings
have continued with intense and growing inter-
est, reaching the acme in the outpouring of to-
the city at an early hour, and by the appointed
time for services fully six thousand people from
the country and surrounding towns were in the
city. Nothing short of a circus or political
rally ever before brought in so large crowd.
The mammoth skating rink capable of accom-
modating twenty five hundred people, was filed
to overfowing, and street-meetings had to be
held afternoon, morning and night. Baptism in
Wildcat fully sustained Kokomos reputation for
doing nothing by half. Rev. William Hile, of
Greensborough, Ind, assisted by Mrs.
Woodwork, baptized eighty-two people in
the presence of FIVE or six thou
sand people. Remarkable good order was
preserved during the whole service, the crowd
being almost as quiet as the assemblage at the
in doors meetings. Tonight it was decided by an
enthusiastic vote to continue the meetings.
Mrs. Woodworth is worn out physically, and
after the morning services tomorrow she will
leave for visit to her daughters, near North
Manchester, where she will seek rest and recrea-
ton for week or ten days, after which she will
return to Kokome and continue her work.
Revs. Hile, of Greensborough, and Riley, Of
Illinois, and others, will continue to conduct the
meetings until her return. The ordinance of
baptism will be administered TO forty or fifty
persons tomorrow. To-day there were two
cases of trance During the series of meetings
there have been thirty persons in
trance, some of them frequently but this
feature of the meeting has been confined
almost exclusively to children, and to those ad-
dicted to some kind of fits, or persons afflicted
with weak minds. The intense heat in the
crowded room the long continuance of each
service, and the great noise and confusion have
tendency to overcome people of this kind.
Over four hundred conversions are claimed by
the leaders Of the revival. Some of them are
among the best known and most active of our
business men, and some amongst the hardest
classes. club, called Daniels Band" of over
two hundred, has formed. It supplies the
place of q separate church organization, as many
of the converts refused to become identified
with the churches of the city because their min
listers and leading members have vigorously op
posed Mrs. Woodwork.

Paradoxical Effect of the Liberal Defeat

LONDON, June 13.-There is Joy among the
beaten and sorrow among the victors Such is
the paradoxical effect of the defeat Of the Lib
erals. The first night of the victory the young
Tories, with Churchill in the lead threw up their
hats in frenzy Of boysh, uncomfortable joy
Ever since the Tory faces have been lengthening
with doubts and fears and becoming pale and
sickly with lack of resolution. The transforma-
tion is so absurdly complete that some of the
Tory journals go to the length of grumbling that
the Ministry rode for fall and trlcked the To-
ries into victory! 1t is certain that the defeat
was a godsend. The Ministers were as hope
lessly divided as ever the subject of Irish
coercion up to the very afternoon of the defeat
1t is now whispered that Mr. Glad
stone was among the opponents of CO.
ercion. and thus the Ministers were face to
face with collapse dishonorable and perilous
compromise, when their enemies came to their
release. The defeatof the Ministers gives them
breathing space between their term Of Office and
the general election. This is an important ad
vantage, and it may lead to most beneficial re-
suits to have Tory government to criticise
The Liberals will be able to quietly shelye the
past and to concentrate attention upon their
promises for the future. Already the Radicals
have made that step in advance which is always
the result of the accession of the Tories to
power. Sir Charles Dixie is urging local self
government for Ireland with degree of bold
ness unknown when he was in Office, and Mr.
Chamberlain makes no concealment of his inten-
tention to make this prominent plank in the
new platform. The most important question is
whether Mr.. Gladstone will continue to lead the
Liberal party.
In this situation of paradoxes it is an addi
tional contradiction that Gladstone never before
was so popular nor so powerful He is greeted
with tumultuous applause wherever he goes, and
his colleagues profess degree Of admiration
more extravagant than ever. 1t is the universal
article of faith among the Liberals that they
will overwhelm the Tories at the general election

hosts TO victory.

The dooi was finally forced open,
however, but il was too late to save
anything in the main part of the
building. In the meantime Leigh

been brought to hear on the fire but it
was of no avail as the building was
composed of old logs which were very

much assisted the flames. Louis

would be convenient, aud thus saved

Sudden Death OF General George d.
Mcclellan.

General George b. Mcclellan died
on Thursday morning. October Goth,
shortly after o'clock. of neuralgia of
the heart, at st. Cloud. Usage Noun
tain, New Jersey. He had been under
physicians care about two weeks.
Nothing serious was expected until
he was taken worse on Wednesday.
He died surrounded by his family.
He has resided at 1t. Cloud for nearly
twenty years. He had been failing
for months past, and had not visited
his Office i'm two weeks, though il was
not expected his Illness would result
fatally. He leaves son and a
daughter, the former just completing
his education. Although General
Mcclellan had nearly completed his
fifty-ninth year, he had preserved not
only buoyant spirits, but buoyant,
youthful agility. When he began
about three weeks ago to feel pains of
the heart, neither he nor his medical
man lDr. Seward, Of Orange. y. j., }
nor any Of the family regarded the
matter rs serious. He and every one
else believed Wednesday that the
malady was either gone for good or at
least for long time. In that belief
the General ordered his carriage
"Wednesday morning, drove to Orange,
accompanied by his daughter, saw
several gentlemen on business and
made an appointment with one OF
them for IL o'clock Thursday. He
returned home in good spirits, ate
heartily at his meal and retired to resi-
at IL o'clock. The pains returned and
messenger on horseback was dis
patched down the hill for the doctor
who came back with the least possible
delay. When he entered the bed
room Of the General he found hi:
patient in extreme agony. Tn,
paroxysm returned with a frequency
that was Alarming, aud the hOm9'
pathic remedies which the skill of the
doctor suggested, were no more ell
cient than those supplied by the intel
gent affection of General McClellan's
wife and daughter, who had minis
tered To him increasingly from the
first alarm. For four hours he suffer
ed the most excruciating agony.
About 3 o'clock there was a change;
the eyes Of the General began to grow
brighter and his face, that had been
white with pain, began to recover It's
usual ruddy hue. He gave a long
deep sigh Of relief, smiled fain .ly, and
said, 81 feel easy now; thank God, ]
have pulled through" Then he sank
back upon the pillows, as II exhausted
closing his eyes. The doctor, who
was watching his face with extreme
solicitude, saw signs Of a collapse and
whispered to Mrs Mcclellan, II fear
he is DYING 1t was but too true.
General Mcclellan raised himselfupon
one hand, opened his eyes and fell
back dead. No arrangements have al
yet been made for the funeral. His
death has been officially announced
by Colonel Lamont, private secretary
of the President, and the Secretary Of
War Endicott, and all the observances
due a major-geDeral in the United
States army have been ordered in his
honor.
