John L. Sullivan is staying at the house
of friend in Liverpool. 1t is now said that
in the fifth round of the late fight. Sullivan
made tremendous luDge at Mitchell's face
with his right. Mitchell threw up his arm,
and Sullivans muscle came in contact with
Mitchell's elbow. The arm began to swell
and it was useless from that time out. Sui.
Ivan would doubtless have won easily but
for the accident. Sullivan scouts the idea
of his leaving the prize ring, and says he ia
prepared to meet anybody Immediately.
Mitchell, in all interview, said: Now
that have proved that can fight, have
decided to quit the ring. l will not claim
the championship, as l am confident that
my friend Kilrain is able to secure the
championship of the world within six
months"

SENATOR SHERMAN, who now Vies with
Mr.. Blaine, as the apostle of protection ID
on record as saying:
"The manufacturers do not ask protec.
ton against the pauper labor of Europe, out
they ask protection against the creations OF
our own laws. 1t is not British OF foreign
competition that produces distress among
the manufacturing interests OF this country
at his time. 1t is the effect OF our laws
The chief evil arises from the deprecated
currency"
Mr.. Sherman said this when, as capital
list, it WAS TO his interest to advocate the
resumption OF gold payments and to depie
ciste the value of silver currency. But
though both those measures were adopted,
The distress of the manufacturing interests
has not been relieved. Now, to get the
support of the proteclionists in his Presi-
Dental aspirations, the Ohio statesman
takes a summersault, and cries out that
wha, the manufacturers must have, to be
saved, is protection againat spauper labor
OF Europe.

being read to the committee by the clerk.

that they will not be in order until the con-
sideraiion of the bill by paragraphs. which
will begin tomorrow and be continued from
day to day until completed. After adjourn
ment, but while most of the members were
still present, there was sharp tilt between
Messrs. Scott and Reed. Mr. Scott en-
phaticaliy expressed his opinion to the effect
that tho tariff protected and stimulated
trusts, and called special attention to the al.
legged steel beam trust as case in point.
He said that he had collected many facts
that would enlighten the public on this sub
iecs. Mr.. Reed retorted by advising MIR.
Scott as friend not to go into the subject.
He challenged him to produce his facts, and
sarcastcaly observed that they were like
