THE CHARACTERISTIC FIGHT.

The Fat, Soft Canadian No Match for
"Reddy'' Gallagher.
CLEVELAND, Feb.S.-The "Reddyn Gal
lagher-Sam Bitt.e prize fight took placs
at the Cleveland gymnasium, this city,
before about fifty spectators, who paid S.
each to see the mill. Bittle was over
matched by Gallagher, the latter doing
almost all the fighting. Gallagher en-
tered the ring in the pink of condition,
Weighing 154 pounds. The Canada man
was fat and soft, weighing 1854 pounds.
Jack Fogarty, Of Pittsburg, who had
come to the ring to challenge the winner,
refereed the match. The police officials
turned out and all parties interested
feared arrest. A lieutenant and sergeant
examined the gloves and cautioned both
principals that they would be "pulled, If
there was any knockout. This scared
both Gallagher and Bittle, but Gallagher
went in to win. Bittle's leads were all
short and weak, and he could not guard
himself against Gallagher's left hand.
The Cleveland pug sent his opponent to
grass several times in each round, and
Btttle went down 9 dozen times to get
away srom punishment. At the end Of
the sxith-round the authorities called
Referee Fogarty aside and ordered him
to stop the fight. Gallagher bore no
mark after the fight, in fact he had re-
ceived no blow to count, while Bittle's
left eye was shut, his neck badly bruised,
and his shoulders were scared and
scuffed.

OPENING INDIAN TERRITORY.

A Kansas State senator Gives Reasons
Why Kansas should Oppose 1t.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Feb. S.-A few days
ago Fl. NJ. Holden and T. b. Bullene, as
chairmen, respectively, of the commit
tees appointed by the board of trade and
the Kansas City Commercial club, to ar
range for a conference. Of citizens of this
city and Kansas City, Kas., to consult as
to the best means Of securing the open
ing Of the Indian Territory to settlement,
prepared a circular letter. One of these
letters was sent to w. j. Buchanan, state
senator OF Wyandotte county. Mr.. Blu
chanan takes the position that, even if
the Indian side of the question is totally
d~lsregarded, which side he claims has the
right of the case, he cannot comprehend
why citizens of Kansas should wish to
open the territory to settlement. He
cited the great growth of Kansas due to
the immigration Of thrifty, energetic
men. He demonstrated that there are
still 800, 600 acres of good government
lands in Kansas, unoccupied, and open to
settlers. He claims that while Kansas
has o for more settlers, no true Kan
can afford to open up the Indian Ter
ritory and divert the immigration In that
direction,

WALTER MURRAY GIBSON.

Relatives Believe He was Worth a Mill-
ion, and Some One Appropriated 1t.
CHICAGO, Feb: S.-The death of Walter
Murray Gibson, ex-premier of the Sand
witch Islands, was recently announced.
His death occurred in st. Mary's hos
pital, San Francisco, and it was stated at
the time that he, died, to all intents and
purposes, a pauper. Now; however, it is
said he died worth 81, 900, 900, and left a
will. Gibson's relatives, so far as known,
are DR.. Punton and w. d. Barrows, of
Chicago, who are second cousins, and John
Punton, OF Brooklyn, who is first cousin.
All three say they believe Gibson was
worth one million when he died, and
they believe he left a will. It is said
Gibson owned a newspaper in Honolulu,
and q big plantation on one of the ISL
ands. In n of the New York papers it
wa given out that Gibson had a son-in-
law named Hazeltoh. This hardly seems
probable, as Gibson's first wife and only
daughter died in South Carolina. His
second wife is said to have been a
daughter of King Kalakaua.

HI FIELD OF LABOR.
THE INTERSTATE CONVENTION OF
MINERS AND OPERATORS

An Exciting Session and But Little Ac-
complished-The Reading Strike En-
dorsed by the Executive Board-The
House Committee to Investigate.
PITTsBURG, Feb. .5.-At the afternoon
session of the interstate convention, the
report of the committee on credentials
caused a long discussion, resulting in ten
delegates from western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, and Maryland withdraw
ing from the convention. A resolution
had been adopted that where districts
were represented by miners and not by
operators, the miners should not be al
lowed to vote, and that the same should
apply to operators from districts not rep
resented by miners. The committee had
seated all, with full vote, except those
and Illinois. To the latter, however,
was extended the courtesy Of
the convention. The storm then
began, as a number of delegates
representing large sections Of territory
in which were thousands of miners,
found themselves deprived of a vote on
the scale. The discussion was ended by
referring the matter back to the commit
tee on credentials, with instructions tt
report the names of all delegates from
Pennsylvania entitled to a vote. Alex
ander Dempster, president of the Spring
Hill company, was elected permanent
chairman; Chris Evans, of Ohio, secre-
tary, and Patrick Mcbride assistant sec
rotary. The second annual financial re-
port was read and adopted. The conven-
ton then adjourned until evening.
Edward Welton, a Federation miner
from Indiana, addressed the convention.
He ayailed himself Of the opportunity to
give several sly digs at the knights OF
Labor.
The committee on credentials made its
final report of a disagreement, and ina
bility to decide on the admission of four
Indiana delegates, all Knights of Labor.
This opened the discussion. Col. S. N.
Eyoman, of Indiana, (operator) objected
to the presence of Knights of Labor on
the floor. Col. Rend defended the
knights, stating that Col. Eyoman en-
dorsed the presence of thu knights at the
Columbus, o., convention. w. T. Lewis,
of Pensylyanaia; Hon. John Mcbride, of
P ttsburg, a local operator, defended the
Knights of Labor in lengthy addresses.

of Manager Moore, of the Western Union
office in this city, who received the mess
age from Gov. Gordon respiting the con-
demned murderer, Lewis Moore, for
twenty days from last Thursday, has
Kept a thrilling incident out of print. On
the morning of the execution, Thursday
last, in Georgetown, Ga, two miles across
th6 river from Eufaula, q number of
prominent citizens wired Gov. Gordon,
asking for a respite of twenty days. The
message was received in Atlanta at 1850
and Lewis was to be hanged between II
and 10 o'clock. At II O'Clock precisely
Gov. Gordon read the message and I'M
mediately sent to the telegraph office in
Atlanta the following:

Office at lilo to Augusta (via which
point messages from Atlanta are usually
sent to Eufaula). The wire between Au-
gusta and Eufaula was down. The mes
page was sent back to Atlanta and at
once flashed to Montgomery, where it
was received at 11:15.
The message was received by Mr..
Moore ut 11;19. 1t had to he copied and
undergo the usual routine of Office manip-
u~lation. and nc messenger was to be had.
Manager Moore took the message, and,
leaving Miss Richter in charge, hurried
to the livery stables, where one solitary
horse remained, everything having been
engaged by parties going over to witness
the hanging. Ordering the animal sad
died at once, Manager Moore, realizing
the Importance of the message and the
value of time in consuming the distance,
yaulted in the saddle, and, urging the
animal to his speed, went away on the
wind for a two-mile ride to Georgetown.
1t was 11:36 when he mounted the
horse, n Moore was to hang at IL. The
execution could not be delayed beyond
that time. Away fled the manager mes

thought, freedom in eternity, just as he

cry rang out, .s'Don't hang himl Don't
