The Card,rJnckson Fight.

SAN Francisco, April 26.--The fight TO a
finish between Peter Jackson (colored),
holding the heavyweight championship of
Australia and the Pacific coast, and Patsy
Cardiff, of Minneapolis, for purse of 5000
and the heavyweight championship, took
place in the rooms of the California athletic
club tonight. Jackson weighed in at 200
pounds and Cardiff at 1888. Jackson was
seconded by Sam Fitzpatrlck and Jack
Baines, and CardT by John Donaldson and
Tommy Warren. Hiram Cook was referee.
In the first two ROUNDS jackson did the
leading, but Cardiff, by ,clinching, secured
the advantage pushing the negro over the
ropes repeatedly. Cries of foul were un-
needed. The fierce rushes by jackson, who
had been made almost insanely savage by
Cardiff's tactics, caused the white man to
look tired by the end of the sixth round. At
first Jackson's long reach ayailed little
against Cardiff's admirable lodges. The
hitting on each side was equally
terrific. Cardiff's nimbleness waned
IN the seventh, and in the eighth Jackson
had pounded the Caucasian into almost utter
exhaustion. Cardiff walked to the ropes, not
defending himself, and jackson struck him a
jaw. breaker just as the gong sounded
Throughout the ninth jackson chased Car
diff around the ring, Furnishing him fright
fully, but not putting in a knock out blow
In the tenth Cardiff gave up the fight.

PENDER, Neb., April Especial to THE
BEE. Daniel Webster and Sylas Wood, two
Omaha Indians VINO have a small following
in their tribe, left this week for Washing
ton the object of their visit to the national
capital beng to secure permission, is possi-
BILE, to remain as they are for twenty-five
years yet, instead of becoming citizens, and
thus avoid raging taxes. A purse to pay
their ways to Washington was rsised by
those Of their tribe over whom they exercise
q certain power by means of deception, and
they expect the Indian commission to furnish
funds for their return. In this they are very
likely to meet with disappointment, US teie-
gram from chief of the Omahas has gone
ahead of them, instructing the commissioners
OF InGan affairs to ignore them, and compel
them to either pay their own fares home, or
"hoof'' it. Webster and Wood are regarded
as shysters, both in their tribe and among
the whites, and are only considered promi.
nent by few of tho most worthless and
fault-iindrng members of the Omaha band.
IL is claimed by a gentleman who is thor
oughly acquainted with the Omahas. that
these two men have no hopes of accomplish
ing anything at Washington, but merely
went on pleasure trip at the expense of
their less intelligent brothers, whom they
have impressed with the belief that next to
taxation comes DEATH and thus induced them

TO-Morrow's Parachute jump.

Owing to the great business energy be-
ing displayed by the manager of the Van
Tassell aeronauts, and other guarantees
OF certainty in giving the performance
promised at Kapiolani Park tomorrow,
a great deal of anticipation has been
awakened on the part of the public. The
wind-brake erected to protect the bal
loon, which when inflated will be nearly
eighty feet high, is made with a sub
stantial framework of poles and covered
with English burlaps. Its length is los
feet and the height 40 feet. This cree
ton will Withstand anything less strong
than cyclone and, as these storms are
never known here. the ascension of the
balloon and the jump from it when at an
elevation of one mile or more, is a GER
tGinty. No wonder that these daring
leaps have produced so much sensation
in America. The appearance of man
decendihg from the heavens, and appar-
emily carrying over his head an expanded
ton anywhere.
these ascensions at Fresno, California,
which we clip from the San Francisco
Examiner:
"These events were preliminary to
the races and the balloon ascent and the
parachute descent. The daring deeds as
performed by the Van Tassell brothers
were as successful as could be imagined.
Long before 2 in the afternoon was
reached there were over 5000 people on
the grounds. There was not breath OF
air and everything worked exactly right.
While fifty men held the balloon, which
was being filed, Joe Van Tassell got
himself astride of the trapeze at the loot
of the parachute. The monster swelled
gradually, and at the word "let go" she
assembled gracefully, but as swiftly as
bullet from gun. Immediately under
meath the daring aeronaut was bag,
plethoric in its contents, and which
Van Tassell cut loose when he was 1000
feet in the air. The moment the bag
was liberated peculiar contrlvance
arranged before hand spread it wide
open and $50, 900 small cards fluttered to
the ground. They were multi-colored
and looked like a shower of gold as they
trayersed through space. All this time
the big balloon was getting nearer the
heavens, carrying away the handsome
Young aeronaut. When the balloon had
reached an altitude of $500 feet Van
Tassell cut the cord holding his para
chute, and the balloon shot upward with
a hundred-fold more rapidity, while the
parachute with it's human freight, oscil-
lated and slowly dropped toward the
earth.
The Examiner reporter took exact
time of the descent, which lasted exactly
two minutes and ffty-five seconds. Van
Tassell alighted just twenty feet from the
where the balloon had originally started,
and the parachute caught IN the
wind brake which he had erected to pro-
tect the balloon from the elements"
