A TouRn ,.I.Ye FIrht.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 23.-The
longest fight ever known under the
Marquis of Queensbury rules took
place in the open air at Mill Creek,
KY, this morning, between To my
Warren of Louisville and Tommy
Barnes Of England. The fight was
with three-ounce gloves, $500, gate re-
ceipts, and the feather-weight cham
pionship, and it too three hours and
a quarter, forty-five rounds for War
rem to knock Barnes out. The fight
was scientifically contested, with vary
ing results, to the thirty-seventh
round, when the struggling became
sharp and vicious. Warren plugged
on Barnes face, who retaliated on
Warren's body. Warren knocked the
shape out of the Englishman's coun-
tenance and won the fight, when
Barnes, who was still game, could not
get up for the forty-sixth round.

THE WOMAN's EXCHANGE.
Rule Two 20 he RIgidIy Enforced
Hereafter.

At meeting Of the Board of Man.
ayers of the Woman's Exchange
March IL, 1886, it was decided that
there be more stringent enforcement
OF Rule 2, namely: Work is not re-
celved from gentlewomen whose cir
cumstances do not make it necessary
for them to dispose of their work, ex-
cept when the proceeds are to be
devoted to charitable purposes
Churches or other societies are moi
eligible as consignors).
In the beginning it was deemed ex-
pedient to place liberal construction
upon this rule in order to test the
market, and through this means to
further the interest of needy consien-
ors as well as the Exchange. This
policy has been useful hitherto, mas
much as the desired experience has
been gained, but must now be aban-
doned ince it has fully stoc ed the
cases and shelves of the sales-room
which shall henceforth be devoted TO
such consignors only as would come
strictly under the rule above quoted.
Many consignments have been re-
ceived, the proceeds of which have
been devoted to public charities, and
the Exchange desires to state to all
such consignors that it will continue
to receive all articles for this purpose,
and trust their number will constantly
increase, but that such cases will be
the only exceptions to this rule.

The Russians arrived here and we're

nineteen in number. All had been
attacked by mad wolves aud terribly
laceIatsd. Pasteur willingly under
took to treat them, and at once placed
them in his hospital. The man who
died last night had been carefully
operated on and regularly inoculated
with virus twice a day since he ar
rived. His terrible death, with all the
symptoms of hydrophobia in its worst
form, has seriously checked public
confidence In the effectiveness of
Pasteur's discovery. The first
positive indications that the patients
system was resisting the treatment.
manifested themselves on Sunday.
after he had been in the hospital over
five days. He soon afterward became
a victim Of the most terrible suffering,
and this seemed to increase hourly up
to the time Of death, which occurred
while the man was mad and wild

been removed 10 Pastsur's laboratory,

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Secretary Manning Painfully In
jured.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Rumors
have been afloa all the afternoon of
the serious illness of Secretary Man
ming. They grew out of the fact that
the Secretary had been taken home
from the Treasury in his carriage,
being unable to walk. Upon inquiry
at the Secretary's residence it was
stated that he had simply met with a
painful accident while returning to
his office from the meeting of the Cab
met. He had walked over from the
White-House, and, without waiting
for the elevator to take him to his
room on the second floor, walked up
the two flights OF stairs. On reaching
the upper landing his foot suddenly
turned under him, severely wrenching
his ankle. He limped into his room
without calling for assistance. Shortly
afterward DR.. Hamilton of the Marine
Hospital Service, happening to be in
the building on business, attended to
the injured mans limb, and the Sec
rotary was then taken home in his
carriage. When he reached home DR..
Lincoln, the Sccretary's family physi-
clan, was summoned to attend him.
DIR. Lincoln, who attended Secretary
Manning at his home, gave the follow
ing statement to an Associated Press
reporter: The Secretary was seized
with vertigo on his return to his Office
from the Cabinet meeting. He had
been working all day without taking
any nourishment, and was feeling very
weak He walked up the two flights |
Of stairs, and on reaching the top was
with vertigo and partly fell |
and partly sat down. His sudden ill |
ness alarmed his friends, and he was
aiken heme. His mind was perfectly |
clear and he had free use OF all his |
limbs, and gave a very clear account
II everything that occurred. Two or
'Rree hours after his attack he had
very much.
At midnight DR.. Lincoln, who had
ust left the Secretary's bedside, said
hat Mr., Manning was holding his
'wn and had slightly improved since
lis last visit. The Secretary's mind
vas still Gle r, and he did not antici-
'ate there wonld be change for the
worse during the night, He had raj
led from the vertigo and prostration
nd was re ting comfortably. The
illness, DR.. Lincoln says,
vas caused by prostration from over
york. He has been working very
ard and had great many things on
lis mind lately, and the result was
his prostration In spite of the
opeful view of the case taken by DR..
i coin, some of the friends OF the
ecretary are exceedingly anxious and
onsider his condition quite serious.

Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, March ;3.-To-day's
session of the Cabinet was devoted 10
the consideration of measures de-
signed to secure a more rigid enforce
ment of the Chinese restriction act,
particularly with reference to pre-
venting the landing of Chinese labor
ers on fraudulent certificates. 1t was
represented that trouble constantly
arises in cases where immigrants
claim TO have lost or mislaid their
certificates, and bring witnesses to
prove that they were in this country
at the time of the passage of the act
and were actually provided with the
certificate prescribed by law which
entitled such persons to return to the
United States after a visit to China.
Another question considered by the
Cabinet was in relation TO the affairs
OF the Union Pacific Ra lroad Com
pany, and the steps necessary to pro-
,tect the governments interests therein.

LONDON, May 3.-Mr. Gladstone has issued a
manifesto to his Midlothian constituents, in
which he explains that his great age has pre-
vented his taking part in the speeches of the
Easter recess, and has obliged him to
reserve his limited powers for the house OF COM
mons, and for that reason he uses his pen in
stead of his voice. Continuing he says: "Never
have 1 Known an occasion when a parllaInen
tary event SO rang throughout the world as the
Introduction of the home rule BILL From public
meetings, from the highest authorities in the
British colonies and America, from capitals
such as Washington, Boston and Quebec; from
remote districts, lying beyond the
reach of ordinary political excitement l
have received conclusive assurances that kin

land, which exhibit the only great failure of
the political genius OF our race and confront a

He discusses at length the objections 10 the
measure, and lays special emphasis on the fact
that those who oppose it differ hopelessly
among themselves. He points out that the
cesslon from the liberal party on the question
need cause no special alarm. Every great
