CHICAGO. July 1f--A bloody slugging-
match took place in Chicago tonight without
even the show OF interference made by the
Mississippi authorities in the Sullivan -Kilrain
Affair." About four thousand persons we're
present, and the match was brought TO an end
by the outcry Of some of the spectators that

out, however, that il was TO be fight for blood.
Persons who came for gore were reassured
when the gloves were seen to be OF the two

blows. Jackson, however, stopped them
easily, and went at "the sailor" hammer and
tongs, driving him around the ring repeatedly.
When the three minutes allowed for a round
were ended, Mr. Brown was virtually horse de
combat. Jackson came to the scratch with
savage look on his face. Brown was very
groggy, but pressed the fighting as before. The
black fellow with his long reach easily repelled
all attack, and time and again knocked Brown
head over heels, only 10 find the irrepressible
"sailor" rise up once more mechanically as an
autOmaton.
In this and the succeeding round the efforts
of Brown were pitiable. He was bleeding pro-

ately after the ceremony and that Husson's
body and all connected with the affair, except
herself, including Husson's father, the
priest who performed the ceremony and

she alleged, resembled herself, on the charge of
threatening her with death il she did not don
widows weeds and declare herself to be Hus-
toms widow.
No arrest under the warrant was made until
Saturday last when Miss Mulcahy met in
the street here young lady named Tibbets of
Fredericton, n. B., and declared to the
police that che was the unknown woman.

cover her whereabouts till Sunday after

alibi will be established by Miss Tibbets'
friends, who are en- route from New Brunswick.

WINNIPEG, Man., July 10.-The arguments
in the Burke case were resumed this morning
The defense (Alessrs. Perdue and Campbell) in
their speeches assailed the evidence, which
they held did not connect the prisoner in any
way with the murder of Dr. Cronin; that it did
not prove that Cronin was murdered in the
Carlson cottage; that Burke knew Cronin, or
that he had any malice against him.
The prosecution reviewed the evidence and
contended that it made clear enough case to
justify extradtion.
Judge Balm delivered judgment iCnmediately.
lie reviewed the evidence and said that it to
him supplied such a strong presumption OF
guilt that he could not take upon himself the
responsibility of setting Burke free He, there
fore, in the terms of the act, committed Burke
TO the nearest Jail to await extradtion, the pris-
oner standing up while the commitment was
pronounced. The judge explained that he had
given judgment Immediately as the full court
was now sitting and the question could be
brought before them Immediately on applica-
ton for q writ of habeas corpus.
The necessary warrant for Burke's commit
ment was then made out and Burke was re-
moved to jail. An application will be made to
the department of justice at Ottawa at once
for Burke's extradition, but the prisoner will
be given fifteen days grace in which to appeal
from Judge Bain's decision.
