NEW OhLEANC. OObI
Stevenson and Duffy, who left town
last night to look I'D an available site
for the fight in event OF Gov. LOwrey
fulfilling his threat to camp the state
militia on the state line, returned this
morning. All are uncommuuicatiye
but admit that they have in view
several places easy of access by
roads previously agreed upon. There
will be conference on the subject
when Charley johnson and jim Wakely
arrive, and the question will be def
nitely decided. The managers admit
that unforeseen distractions may pre-
vent the fight taking place Monday, but
say the men are bound to come together
during the week, even if they fight
in a private room with 100 spec
tators. Sullivan and party ar
rived shortly before noon. Just
before the Mississippi state line
was reached his special car was at
tached to an engine in waiting and
rushed acrossed the border to prevent
the anticipated interference by the au-
thorities. To avoid demonstration at
the depot here Barnett persuaded
Sullivan to leave the train at a
point on the Gentilly road, four miles
from the city, whence he was driven
into town and to the rooms OF the
Louisiana Athletic club. The large
crowd assembled at the depot we're
chagrined when the procession of sports
filed from the train and Sullivan was
not among them. The occupants of the
train took carriages to the ST. Charles
hotel followed by big crowd shouting
for Sullivan, demanding to see him.
Sullivan went to Spanish Fort this
afternoon, where three rooms were re-
served for him. He stood the journey
well and was perfectly fresh.
KILRAIN CERTAIN OF SUCCESS.
CINCINNATI. o., July 4.-Jake Kill
rrin arrived by the Cincinnati, Wash
ington IL Baltimore train at the central
passenger station at 9:45 this morning
The train was more than an hour
late. There was a large crowd
at the depot, and Kilrain's
friends greeted him with a hearty
cheer. There was in his getting off the
car, owing to the crowd which pressed
about the door. Jvst as Kilrain put his
foot outside on the platform some one
placed two big cakes of ice at the top of
the steps, which impeded his progress.
A man on the platform remarked;
"Jake, that's rather cold reception,
but you are all right" This was fol-
lowed by hearty cheer. Kilrain and
his party left the depot and took car
riages for the ST. Nicholas hotel, where
they are quartered. They remained
until O'Clock this afternoon, when
they took the Queen 81 Crescent train
for New Orleans. They will have an
all-night ride to Chattanooga. and reach
New Orleans twelve hours behind the
time fixed. When asked how he felt,
Kilrain said:
u am first rate and couldn't be in better
fix
DO you feel like you can win p
81 am sure of it. l am all right in every
way"
His manner, however, was not gay. He sat
quietly and had less to say than any Of his
''Win the fight certainly come off ?' was
asked
on. yes: certainly. All the arrangements
have been made. Ask Charley Mitchell. He
will satisfy you on that head. Our train was
late and | was afraid that we should miss
connection
A LEG-PULLING AFFAIR.
New ORLEANS. July 4.-Thdre ap-
pears to be good deal of ill-feeling be-
tween partisans of Sullivan and Kill
rain. About the hotel rotundas to-
day there were good many
acrimonious discussions, in which the
expletives used were more fOrcible than
elegant. There seems TO be dlspOSl-
ton on the part of interested par
ties to get every dollar there is
in sight, and the question of adj
hitting even members of the local press
is causing some bitterness among the
respective managers. 1t has been de-
cided that each local paper shall be al
lowed two representatives and each
of the prominent outside papers will be
allowed but one. AS matter of
fact, none of the papers care a snap
about this matter, but if the
parties who have engineered this
fight imagine that they can fake
this community, they are reckoning
without their host. 1t has been ar
ranged that no part of the gate
money will be paid over until
the fight is finally decided, and if
there is not svuare fight it
will not be paid over at all, but be re-
turned to the ticket holders. This is
the programme of the local managers,
and they are reliable men, and will be
very apt to carry out their programme.
