San FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct 27.-The
sporting fraternity Of San Francisco
never experienced such guprise as IL did
last night when Conley, the Ithaca Giant,
was knocked ont in less than six minutes
by doe McAuliffs, who less than year
ago was considered as little less than o
novice.
The fight which had been looked for.
vafd to with the keenest interest for
weeks ended so suddenly that the 1000
spectators could hardly realisze for o
moment that Conley could not rise from
the door. When after lapse of 10
seconds, Conley still remsined prostYated
and bis seconds crossed tho ring and
carried him TO his chair, perfect storm
OF applause broke out and In an instant
the shouts were taken up by the crowd In
the street. The one opinion expressed

The only effort made bv Oouley during
the short battle was his attempt to hold

settled him. After that he simply used

In commenting on Secretary Bayard's
Opera House speech, the Morning Mems
said
He was much amused because the Repuh-
ncan tariff bill increased the duty on the
Amer Kinds OF cotton goods. This, be said,
was protecting the industry OF tho future.
But Senator Chace of Rhode Island, who
understands manufacturing, Gays that our
cotton manufacturers have never yet been
able TO make the finer qualities OF eottona
and sell them iI competition with fine Eng
lish goods, which are still brought over to
the amount, believe, of about $4,000 900
a year. Those who have invested their
money in mills for flne work havs praeti-
cally lost thelf investment, and the labor
which would be employed IN these mills 10
not employed there simply because the
Engltsh makers can undersen Us in our
own market. Way, then, should not the
same process which has given to us the
control Of our market In respect to the
common grades be equally sffsctual and
equally ststesmanlige when applied to the
finer grades7 Certainly an addition 10 the
duty Will check revenue, which is tho obi aet
aimed at; if It likewise enables us to re-.
cover S29 c00,000 worth OF production
annually, as II doubtless will, whom does It
hurt except English traders2
In addition the Morning Neps has
dwelt upon oaliooes being protected by
duty of five cents per yard and being sold
ct retail in the home market for five cents
per yard q statement reiterated by MIR.
Higgins in his Opera House speech.
In order to get ct the bottom facts
bearing on both these assertions, the
GAzETTE sought q gentleman who, In the

more tired, !" said this gentleman, on the
subject being preached, than this con-
tinual harpiDg on the importation of
&29. GOO, 600 worth Of cotton goods in q
year, and this utterly false comparison as
TO the effect of the tariff, en- an assumed

And he proceeded to discuss the subject
in detail as follows;

This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade Ia word, we are now Inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
rents just to keep things moving Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways new ideas, new con-
ceits. new trickc and quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we l1iu sell rer-v
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,

adjournment we offer a line par excellence g
