NEW ORLEANS, July 6.-The scenes are
very animated this afternoon. Pugilists
from every section Of the country, sporting
characters who have never missed fight
and correspondents who have done every
battle during the last fifteen years are here.
They mingle freely and each has his opinion
as to the outcome of the great mill, which he
expresses with uncommon frequency.
Sullivan continues to improve with the ap-
proach of the day which is to make or mar
him forever, but Muldoon's watchfulness
and scientific care shows no abatement what
ever. Muldoon's reputation as an unequalled
trainer is established beyond the possibility
of dispute or cavil. He found his
man physical wreck, weakened by disease
and bloated by dissipation and in three
months he has brought him to a condition of
physical perfection which is the wonder of
the pugilistic world
Sullivans seconds were decided upon six
weeks ago, but choiceis kept profound secret,
1t is thought safe to predict that they are
Joe Coburn and Mike Cleary. Coburn Is
full of resources and up to all the tricks of the
the trade, ana would make a valuable sec
ond. When asked about it by reporter he
was -committal, but declared himself
willing to serve.

NEW YORK sPoRTs TALK.
Partisans of the Fighters Freely
Express Their Opinions.

New YORK, July 8.-fSpecal Telegram to
THE BEE. THE main topic of conversation
is the fight between Sullivan and Kilrain.
Not much money has been displayed, how
ever, as the growing uncertainty of the
fight taking place has deferred many from
backing their opinion with "boodle." What
wagers were laid were all in favor of the
"big fellow" The odds were usually 100 to
so, but those who were anxious to place a
large sum of money on Sullivan had to give
100 TO 60 Very few prominent pugilists or
sporting men are in town. All who could
get away are either at New Orleans or on
their way there.
The adherents OF Sullivan who have re-
mained are very much disgusted with the
present condition Of things, and many Of
them boldly say that Kllrain and
his hackers do not want to fight.
In support of their opinion they
point to the difference in the actions
OF the two men and their backeis. The
greatest caution has been exercised by the

Eagle announces that he will exert all ef-

that he hopes the sheriffs of the respective

Not Afraid of lnterferPnce.


New ORLEANS, July 6.-The time when
the cars will leave may be changed at the
last moment, in order to avoid too much pub
licity, and If matters are rushed rs it is ex-
pected they will be, the articles of agree
ment will be mutually waived in so far as
the time of fighting is concerned, and the
men will go into the ring when the first faint
rays of day dawn in the sky. Unless tho
opinion of able ring followers is wrong the
fight will hardly last over an hour
If this be the case the entire party
principals, excursionists and all can get back
to the city before the governor gets out of
bed unless on this occasion he stays up all
night. In order to avoid the possibility of
arrest, it is stated that Sullivan will leave
the city at the conclusion of the battle, and
as soon as he can dress himself again in his
street clothes. This is, of course, if he is
not too severly punished to travel. 1t is
also fair to presume that Kilrain
will follow the same line of ac-
tion. The Sullivan people are specializing
on Kllran's pluck, and the Kilrain men are
worrying themselves about Sulivan's con-
dition. All these topics form subjects for
universal discussion, but the rumored threat
of the governor to interfere with the fight
was the subject most talked of at the hotels
and among the friends of the two men this
afternoon One of Supsvan's managers said:
81 have consulted legal talent and we have
found out there rs nothing in Louisiana's
laws that can touch us for prize fighting,
no matter how partisan the Interpretation
may be. There is nothing in the world that
will prevent decision of the merits of the
two men. If the military power of the state
Is called out and is able to reach the scene Of
battle, then the mill may be temporarily
postponed, but if we are interfered with in
our rights the people in authority will be
held to legal account. If Kilrain is
as anxious to fight as we know
Sullivan is the two men will be
brought together. We have a reputation
as sporting men to maintain. The fight has
been written up with unusual thoroughness,
and we can not afford to be at the head of a
tiuke The battle ground is on private prop
erty, and can not see how we can possibly
be interfered with. 1 promise you there
will be fight Monday.1

Now let some genius figure out the

even greater than by smoke. No

WHILE the democracy are charging
that the republican members of con-
gress are not willing to admit New
Mexico to the honors and privileges of
statehood, because the state would
fall into the democratic ranks, dem
ocratic journal of central Texas says
editorially:
"a formidable memorial from citi-
zens of New Mexico has been present.
ed to congress against the admission
of that territory into the Union. The
petition stated that it was not the in
terest of the residents nor was it the
desire of a majority of New MeXicans
engaged in commercial pursuits to he
admitted at present. The petitioners
also say that the population is largely
composed of people unfamiliar with
the English language who would be
easily influenced by inscriptions
politicians. The petition further
states that the legislature has been
such as to cause the gravest fears
that if left to enact laws not subject
to the reversal of congress the result
ing code would be disgrace to the
state"
The true blue democracy of the
Territory will not be questioned after
such setting forth of the complexion
of the population.

STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
This body of professional gentle
men have appointment, by adjourn
ment from las annual meeting, to
hold their session this year in San
Antonio. They will come to this city
in April, and will remain here several
days. Their stay in this city should
be made as pleasant as possible, not
only because it is our duty as hospita-
BILE people to render it as pleasant as
possible for our guests, but because
it is to our interests to do so. The
more pleasant are the Impressions
made by this city upon the visiting
physicians the more creditab BILE will be
the reports that they will carry away
with them. These gentlemen, the
majority of them at least, are men of
liberal culture, broad and generous
views of things, enlarged minds and
they will come here with obserV-
ant eyes and ears and when they
go away will not have the
lock jaw concerning what they
have seen and heard. Our city
should welcome them officially.
These medical gentlemen come here
in their official capacity as represent
ing their honorable profession in this
state. They come to consult concern
ing the health of the state and to
compare notes and exchange views
upon disease and its best means of
treatment. They we're invited to
hold their session in this city by the
medical fraternity of San Antonio,
of our citizens. These gentlemen
should not be lett to do all the work
of welcoming and entertaining the
State Medical association. Let the
city welcome them and tender them
the hospitality of the corporation.
Let them feel that they are here by
the Invita- on of the whole city and
not OF "a few members of the medical
association of the state. The good
that may rise from this meeting will
be no inconsiderable factor in the
opinion of this state and of other
states as to our advantag as a
health resort and an invaiid's para
disc. The LIGHT commends the wei
come and entertainment of the State
Medical ASSOCIATION TO all the citizens
OF San Antonio as something due to
the city, due to the association, and
due to the San Antonio members OF
that association by whose invitation
they come.

The spirit of the Spanish inquisition
lives today in the form Of the small boy,
and particularly that portion of tho
genius commonly known us the gamin.
For discovering particularly ingenious
and soul racking methods of torture and
annoyance, the small boy stands pre-
eminent and un~approachnclo. This great
truth was borno in upon the mind of
The Man About Town by an incident to
which no was n witness on Olive street
tho other day. A youngster who, from
his aristocratic appearance, was evidently
no hope of some West End family, and
who had strayed down town, had
become deeply interested in the mys-
teries of the cable road and was endeav-
oring to penetrate its secrets by q careful
investigation through tho slot. Agamin
stood on tho curb.
His rowing glance took in the boy in
h middle of tho street, md his activo
mind Immediately conceived n plan to
improve the situation for his own nmuse-
mcnt and the utter woo of tho boy from
tho West End. He drew q long string
from his pocket, made n slip moose in
ono end and warily approached his vic
tim. With n sudden spring ho seized tho
others natty hat, deftly slipped tho
moose around the crown and running n
few steps up tho street before tho other
boy had taken in tho situation, he dropped
the free end through the slot. Instantly
it caught the cable and held fast, and the
next second the hat was sailing up the
street at the rate of eight miles an hour,
with its owner wildly pursuing it, a
hopeless second in the race while the
bystanders checred, and tho author Of
the trouble smiled n smile of exceeding
peace, and ran up M alley to relate his
adventure to a few other angelic spirits.

A CHIP oE HE OLD BLOCK.

Ike Hutchinson's Adventure with His
Father In Carrying Laths.
Mr.. b. p. Hutchinson has a promising
son Isaac, of which this story Is told:
"Old Hutch" as the world calls him,
was seated one afternoon on the fence
surrounding q piece of his property upon
which a comfortable dwelling house was
being put up. The veteran merchant
was whiting q stick of wood and super
intending tho actions Of IKE" who,
under his instructions. WINS transferring
a lot of laths from the open air to the in
terror Of the unfinished house in n wheel
barrow, 1t was not an easy task. Any
body who has tried 1t knows how hard 1t
Is to wheel n barrow up a single plank.
But Young Hutch" was performing the
job creditably.
"Old Hutch" watched and whitfield for
a while in silence Then an idea struck
him, and he numbered down off the fence
and approached his perspiring SON
Ike" said he, "you know as much rs
an oyster"
Ike made no reply, but looked q little
sulky.
SEQ here" went on the old man,
don't you SEQ that you can get twice
us many laths onto that wheelbarrow II
you pile them crosswise instead of length
wise, us you've been doing2 Just watch
me, and see tho load I'll take in there
The boy silently watched his father
laboriously pile up tho sticks. When he
started the wheelbarrow slowly up the
plank a bystander might have perceived
a huge grin of delight spreading itself
over young Hutch's" features.
When Old Hutch reached tho brick
doorway he stopped. Why2 Well, be-
cause when piled crosswise the laths
were too long topermit the wheelbarrow
10 enter. The old man turned slowly
round and mopped his brow with q red
silk handkerchief.
Old Hutch looked Mt Young Hutch.
Young Hutch looked ut Old Hutch.
Father" said tho younger Of the
twain deliberately, you don't know as
much MS tho shell of an oyster"
Tho old man told tho Century club
crowd all about 1t tho next day, and
vowed rs no related tho circumstance
that Ike would DO n bigger mar thnn his
brother Charley some day.-Chicago Tri-
bune.
