DECLARED A DRAW.
The Burke-Greenfield Sparring Match Well
Fought Until the Police Interfered.

The Burke-Greenfield Sparring Match Well
Fought Until the Police Intertered.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 23.-Battery D was filed
to overlooking tonight with 5000 people,
the occasion being the six-reund glove con-
test between Burke and Greenfield. AtS:15
p. m. Billy Lakeman, master of ceremonies,
assembled the steps and announced to the
expectant crowd that Jack Burke and Alfred
Greenfield would appear in a six-round
contest, Marquis of Queensbury rules.
In a few minutes Greenfield appeared, ac-
companied by his second, ''Nobby'' Clark, and
took seat quietly in the southeast corner OF
the ring. Burke followed, seconded by Tom
Chandler. After a lot of preliminar fool
ishness Andy Hanlon of New York, and
Andy Hughes, variety actor, were chosen
referees, respectively for Greenfield and
Burke. Billy Lakeman and Billy O'Brien
were selected as timekeepers. In the
first, second, third and fourth rounds
it was give and take quite
viciously. The men repeatedly clinched and
were ordered to break, the crowd in the
meantime shouting wildly for theirindividual
favorites to do their best. Greenfield slung
a wicked right and was pretty handy with the
left, while Burke's left was continually at
work. In the fifth round Burke had rather
the best of the battle. The men
clinched and Burke forced Greenfield
to the ropes, when the call break
came and the round ended. Greenfield went
to work when time was called for the
sixth round in a cut-and-slash style, and
had the best of it. When the round
was over 'Parson" Davies said that Burke
had done the best fighting. Andy
Hughes, referee for Burke, declared the
fight for his man, and Andy Hanley de-
clared it draw. At this juncture the
crowd became wild, hooting and yelling
as # Tophet had broken loose. Burke
was seen to make q move toward
Greenfield, as if he intended to do him up
then and there. The portended storm soon
quoted, and it was decided to fight another
round. The blood of both men was up to
the boiling point, and it was genuine fight
ing, barring the naked fists. When the ex-
citement was at its height Lieut.. Laughlin
and Detectives Costello and Jones, of the
police force, stepped into the ring and
stopped the fight.

COMPETING FOR CATTLE.
Montreal Seeking to Rival Chieago-A Pro-
posed New Route Eastward.

Montreal Seeking to Rival Chicago-A Pro-
posed New Route Eastward.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March %. Robert G. Orms-
ton of Montreal, who is in the city, said in
an interview this morning: Montreal
wants to rival Chicago as the great market
for live stock in transit to Europe. There
has already been much correspondence be-
tween the Dominion government and Lord
Derby and others on the subject. The pro-
posed new route is called Algoma, and 1t
shortcuts the old route To Europe by
nearly one thousand miles. The cattle win
be transported through a country where the
water is good, the hay is cheap, and the tenn
perature in summer is much lower than that
Of either Chicago or New York This d.
vision of the cattle traffic will no doubt be
an advantage to our trunk lines, but the
great benefit will go to the Canadian Pacific
and Montreal will become the principal cattle
market for the West and the Northwest. The
entire importation of dressed beef into
England is, believe, some three hundred
and eighty thousand tons annually. This
vast amount represents 1,000,000 cattle
with value of nearly 10000, 600.
1t would be Of immense importance for any
city to control this trade. The prize is worth
striving for

THE couo PARKw4Y PROJECT.

The report of the committee on roads and
parkways made to the chamber of commerce
on yesterday, and published in the GLOBE
this morning, will be read with interest.
The suggestion OF parkway to Lake Como
and the fair grounds must meet
with favor from all our citizens
who take an interest in adding to the beauty
and sdorument of the city. The popularity
of parkways in other cities is forcibly pre-
Sc nted by the committee. The design for a
parkway to Lake Como is excellent, and if
carried into execution would be some
thing that 81. Paul would always
be proud Of At the same time we are not
prepared to say that parks should be entirely
superseded by parkways. While a parkway
of the kind suggested by the com nittee
would fuIdIl all their expectations. still the
parks are even more essential than the park

THE oficious under secretary who made
an evasive statement of the situation in At
ghanistan was called down by the opposition
last evening by a round of jeers which he
richly deserved. The popular demand in
England is to know what is going to be done
by the GLADSTONE government not only on
the northern confines of India, but in Sou
dan and Egypt as well. The government
policy has been invested in an air of mystery
until the people have grown FESTIVE and
would gladly welcome the restoration of the

The Egyptian Financial Agreement.


LONDON, March 23.-In the commons
THIS evening Northcote again demanded a
postponement of the discussion of the
Egyptian financial agreement. Gladstone
refused postponement and Northcote
moved to adjourn, saying the house was en-
Titled to leisure to digest the mass of papers
bearing on the subject. Gladstone in reply
said it was the absolute duty of parliament
to discuss the agreement before the Easter
holidays. The Egyptian finances had reached
the end of the tether. Early in April amounts
OF money would be due, which Egypt would
be utterly unable to pay unless the financial
agreement should be previously approved.
The whole financial burden would devolve
upon England. Northcote's motion was
withdrawn and the discussion of the agree
ment fixed for Thursday.

practical knowledge of the duties of his re-

of removing redundancies from the various

ALMOST A MURDER.
Fred Loomack, Colored Soldier, Shoots an
InOffensive Woman Particulars Of
bn fair

Vic AudlF.
The one-story-and-a-haf cottage on the
south side of Sixth street near jackson was
the scene last night of what almost
proved another murder. The house is
occupied by Polly Caldwell, a saffron-colored
damsel of ill-repute, and the victim to the
affair is Minnie Lacey, good-looking col
ored girl about "a years of age. Among the
callers at the house last night
were Frederick Loomack, and one john
son, couple of eolored soldiers
from Fl. Smelling They had imbibed con-
siderable fluid lightning and upon entering
the house Loomack invited the girl into one
of the rooms They adjourned to the apart
ment and shortly afterwards the other in
mates of the house were attracted by the
loud and mingled talk of the couple,
followed by the report of revolver.
Upon entering the room, the woman Lacey
was found lying on the floor near the bed
with the blood streaming from wound in
her temple, while Loomack was yelling for
doctor. A physician was called and an
examination showed that the ball had
entered her right temple, and, striking the
temporal bone, took a reverse course and
came out above the eyebrow.
Officer Babe was attracted by the racket
and he took Loomack in charge. The latter
was locked up, and on being questioned he
merely said it was an accident. The
revolver he carried is a forty-four shooting
iron of the bulldog pattern and one shell
was missing 1t is expected that the girl will
recover, although her escape from death was
almost miraculous. Sergeant Walsh at once
detailed men to look for johnson, who
skipped out after the shooting. On being
questioned Miss Lacey stated that Loomack
had threatened to shoot her, but that she
thought he was only fooling. The latter will
be arraigned to-day
