CHICAGO, May 21.--The Sub-Commit-
tee Of the National Republican Commit
tee has been in session here two days
arranging details on the Convention and
deciding upon the distribution Of tickets
and the allotments Of seats to the press,
and other matters Of detail. The seating
capacity Of the hall is 1000, thus neces-
stating q smaller apportioninent of seats
than before. The committee decided to
give each delegate three general tickets
for distribution, and one press ticket to
each delegate thus enabling the dele
gates to take care of the local press Of
their district and State.
One hundred and forty-seven working
seats at tables are provided, one for each
of the larger daily newspapers which
will make up and send out fr ON the hall
special telegraphic reports to supplement
the verbatim report of the Associated
Press. No other papers excepting those
sending out such reports Gail be given
representation at these table. in the 147
seats are included those requii ed by the
Associated Press and official stenogra-
piers. The local Press Comm ittee was
directed to carry out these provi sions and
also notified that the largest n lumber Of
working seats given to any paper should
be three. The greater portion. of the
daily papers taking reports will liave but
one seat. Alternates will have no tick
cts but their own. 1t has been the usual
custom to give to the city where the con-
vention is held, fifteen per cent. of the
tickets. The Committee has reducsd this
to ten per cent. The remaining tickets
will be divided between the pre- 81, be-
tween members Of Congress, the Cover
nors Of States and other disting, iished
statesmen.

SAN FRANcisco, May 21.-The fight
between Joe McAuliffe, the heavy
weight champion of the Pacific coast,
and Frank Glover, of Chicago, took
place at the rooms and under the aus
pices Of the California Athletic Club
tonight. No spectators were present
except the members OF the club, but the
membership increased rapidly within
the last few days.ehnd the room tonight
was crowded. No police were present at
the match. Bets during the past few
days had been about even, and it was
not believed very great amount Of
money was placed on the match.
When the men appeared in the ring
late in the evening both were in excellent
condition. Glover weighed one hundred
and seventy-fve pounds, while McAulif-
fe weighed over two hundred. McAulif-
fe was dressed in white tights and Glover
in blue. Hiram Cook acted as referee ;
Carney Farley and Tom Ceary were
McAuliffe's seconds, and Billy Delaney
and Jim Carr, seconds for Glover.
Before the principals appeared in the
ring, about two hours were occupied in
sparring contests by number of the
local celebrities, and in that time betting
had been spirited and slightly in Glover's
favor. Just before the contest opened,
President Fields, Of the California Ath-
letic Club, stepped into the ring and
made short address, in which
he said so far as the Club was
concerned, the match which had been
arranged between Clover and McAuliffe
was to be strictly a glove contest. The
men then stepped over the ropes, greeted
by storm Of applause from the 800 or
1000 persons present.
At the call OF the referee they stepped
quickly to the center of the ring and per-
formed the usual handshake. TiIfe was
called Immediately, and the men spared
cautiously for fully a minute, when
McAulffe led out strongly with his right,
hitting Glover hard in the neck and
sending him down, amid the applause of
the spectators. He was on his feet in
stantly and the men clinched, but broke
away. Several other clinches followed
in quick succession, when the round
closed.
Glover was knocked out in the forty
ninth round. Time of the fight, three
hours and one-quarter.

bund to demand the abolition of the

people were defeated.
