THE sULLIVAN-NLRAlN FIGHT.
The Changers DO Not Propose to Allow
Any Fake"
fBy telegraph to Tho Dispstch.l


NEW ORLEANS. July 5.-There appears to
be a good deal OF Ill feeling between the
partisaus Of Sullivan and kilrain. About
the hotel rotundas yesterday there were
good many acrimonious DISCUSSIONS, IN
which the explosives used were more forci-
bic than elegant. There seems 10 be a DIS
position on the part OF the interested par
ties 10 get every dollar there Il IN slgnt,
and the question Of admitting even mem
bcrs Of the local press IS causing some bit
terness among the respective managers.
II has been decided that each local paper
shall he allowed two representatives,, and
each of the prominent outside papers VIII
be allowed but one. As q matter OF TACT,
none of the papers care a snap about TINS
matter. but If the parties who have engi-
neered this fight imagine that they can
fake this community they are reckoning
without their host. II has been arranged
that no part Of the gate-money VIII De
paid over until the fight Is finally decided,
and if there ia not square fight it will not
be paid over at all, but viii be returned 70
the ticket-holders. This Is the programme
of the local managers, and they are re-
liable men. and will be very apt to carry
out their programme.
