A SERIOUS HIncn.
The Sullivan Crowd object to Renaud
ns Manager.

New ORLEANS La, July e.--TSpecial Tel
egram to The BEE. There are great
chances that the big mill will never come
of. Differences have arisen during the last
twenty four hours seriously ieopardlzing its
possibility. The frst hitch was caused by
Mike Cleary, Sullivan's second in the ring,
declaring his fixed intention never TO enter
the ring with Charley Mitchell without max
ing an effort to do handsome Charley up IN
great style. Fox was wired on the matter
and the reply was, mitchell or nobody"
which meant no fight Great pres
sure was brought to bear upon
the belligerent Mr. Cleary and the
crooked places were made straight. To
night the trouble takes the shape of a kick
by the Sullivanites against Bud Remand
being manager of the arrangements. 1t is
said by those inside the ohaamed circle that
the squabble is very serious and that no fight
will come off. Around the hotels and sport
ing houses everything is reported lovely.
The local sports are wrathy over this
trouble, and much uneasiness prevails, A
private letter from Kilrain's hackers was
read to your correspondent. 1t reports Jake
as being in the pink of perfection. John l..
will arrive here Thursday morning. This
city is crowded with sporting men from all
parts of the union, with flying detachments
of wealthy Englishmen and Frenchmen
from across the water.

John Mt Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July John l.. Sullivan and
party arrived in this city this afternoon.
Among the sporting fraternity in this city
the opinion is almost equally divided as to
the respective merits of Kilrain aud Sulli-
van, and many are of the opinion the affair
will be no genuine fight. There is very little
betting. A number of Sullivau's old
friends refuse to back him because
of his broken arm. They say,
however, Kilrain will not stand up against
him for six rounds unless his broken arm
should fail him. On the other hand Kilrain's
friends believe he can best Sullivan provided
the fight is not hippodrone. A large num-
ber of men will leave on the same train with
Sullivan tomorrow. John looks 100 per cent
better than when he was here about
month ago. There is not q
particle of superfluous flesh about him.
His general appearance indicates he is in
the best of health, and the chances seem
dent of victory if the fight is fairly conducted,
and It is evident he will make a hard battle.
When he came out Of the gymnasium at
about 1880 p. m, after spending nearly three
hours there IN exercise, he immediately
entered a closed carriage, and accom-
panied by only his trainer, Mudoon,
was driven to the hotel Sullivan's
special Car is furnished with view to the
convenience and comfort of its occupants. A
bath tub, with shower bath attached, occu-
pies almost the whole side OF the car, a
striking bag hangs suspended from the cell
ing, and about the room are scattered dumb
bells and other paraphernalia. Mr.. johnson,
sporting editor of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, who spent some time with Sullivan
at his training grounds, and who accom-
panies him in the morningssays the special
train will leave at o'clocinto- morn
ing for New Orleans. Late this evening
there was a disposition to increase the bet
ting. The odds offered in sSullivan's favor
are very much greater.

A Change in signal Systems.

WASHINGTON, July BY general order
issued from army headquarters the Ameri-
can Morse code will hereafter be used by the
army for all purposes of signaling, whett er
visual or acoustic, and the use of the En-
glish Morse or Continental code will be dis
continued. This action was taken upon the
recommendation of the chief signal officer,
with a view 10 the simpliiication of signal
teegraphers for military purposes. Fewer
errors are supposed to result from the use of
the English system, but it is slower than the
American system and its continuance would
involve the employment OF spe ecially trained
experts who could not be procured in suffic-
lent numbers in an emergency.

SEWARD, Neb., July 81 Special Telegram
to THE BEE. by Instructions from the
grand jury, Sheriff James Smiley secured u
requsition from the governor of Nebraska
to the governor of Missouri to secure the ar
rest of Richard Cullen, tho tramp suspected
of the murder of the Leavitt children, de.
string to use him as witness in the investi-
cation. They gave the sheriff instructions
to bring Cullen on subpoena IL ho would
come that way, and if not to arrest him on
information, secure a requisition and hold
him under that authority. The sheriff To-
Gated his man In Missouri, but on arriving
there found him travelling with tramps to-
ward the Kansas line Smiley assumed the
neat detective role of tramp and quietly re-
turned with him to Seward, arriving here
tonight. The grand jury had been in session
all day and towards evening adjourned to
meet upon call, and several de-
parted to their homes. Upon learning
of the arrival of the sheriff and
witness they Immediately reassembled, and
are examining Cullen as a witaess. BY a
majority OF the citizens Cullen is thought to
be the perpetrator of the crime. The evil
dence against him seems to be that shortly
after the crime Cullen was seen
in Seward, Monday at midnight,
sleeping in q barn. The next
morning, while waiting breakfast, con-
versation occurred in his presence about the
murder, when Cullen Immediately left, not
returning for breakfast. Blood clots were
noticed upon his clothes and scratches upon
his face and hands. He changed his clothes
in an outhouse IN the rear of the hotel, in
which place has since been found vest con-
tanning blood spots. He was held for ex-
animation. A dirk knife was found in his
possession. He gave unsatisfactory ac-
counts of his whereabouts and has since been
roaming about the country. He was known
in the Leavitt neighborhood, and because he
was recognized by friends here was re
leased. The only theory which connects
him with the crime is that the intention was
rape, which he was prevented from accom-
plshing by the younger sister approaching,
and recognizing her, he cut the throat of the
eldest girl and then that of the youngest to
remove the witness against him. But few
hold to the theory that SteInblock, who sui
cided Saturday. was guilty of the crime
The grand Jury has made no report, but it is
generally understood that Cullen will be in
dicted for murder This is the witness the
grand jury has been waiting for nearly two
weeks. Cullen claims innocence and If in
die ted will endeavor to establish an alibi.
