The Australi"e Pugiiist rendered
an ovation in En- gland.
LONDON. Dee. 24.-Frank SIavin, the
Australian pugilist, who so thoroughly
demonstrated the wOrthieSsness of Jem
Smith either as man Or fighter at
Bruges. Belgium, yesterday, visited the
stock exchange to-day and was received
by the members with every manifesto
ton of admiration. He seemed some
what stiff and sore from the rough
handling he was subjected to. and APP
parentiy had suffered far greater injury
from the attacks of Smiths ruffianly
friends than from the blows that Smith
had dealt him. Slayin was introduced
to many OF the prominent men on
change. and at the suggestion of one of
these gentlemen the hat was passed
around, with the result that clio was
raised in few minutes and given to the
courageous Australian on the spot.
Slavin excited immense interest on the
street, and the crowd that followed him
became so great that he was Obliged to
take refuge i'm a cab. which he did
amid the cheers of thousands of persons
of all conditions.
sLAvIN RECOGNIZED AS CHAMPION.
LONDON, Dee. 24.-At meeting Of
the Pellcan CLUB. last night, 1t was re-
solved to send a letter to Frank P.
Slavin, the Australian pugilist, who
was assaulted by roughS during the
progress of his fight with Jrm Smith,
near Bruges, Belgium, yesterday, ex-
pressing sympathy for him i'm the treat
ment accorded him, and admiration for
his courage in fighting in the face of the
ruffianism displayed at the ring side.
The club decided to recognize SIaviu as
champion of England. and to present
him with belt and purse of money.
Fleming, who acted as Smiths umpire,
and who is member of the club, was
suspended from membership pending
an explanation of the part he took in
the disgracefui affair. In an interview,
Fleming said he was not acquainted
with the rOughs who caused the trouble,
but that they were doubtless friends
whom Smith had hired to Interrupt the
fight in the event of its going against
him. Fleming also said that he had
severed the connection between himself
and Smith forever. Upon his arriya
in London, Siavin was given an eDthusi-
astic reception by large crowd which
had gathered to welcome him.

MARK FOR THE LEAGUE.
Proceedings TO Enjoin Ward
From Playing Ball.

New YORK. Dec. 24.-The Injunction
proceedings against John Ward by the
New York league club to restrain him
from playing with the brotherhood
were begun last night, when the papers
in the suit were served upon Ward at
his res dence. The action is brought
in the supreme court, and the argument
on it is set down for Jan. 6. In the
complaint, which is made by the Metro
pOlitan Exhibition company, there is
the usual preamble about the Organiza-
ton and Incorporation of the club, its
plan and manner of carrying on bnsi-
ness, the enormous risk and cost in the
gathering together aud employment of a
team of ball players; the value of a
players services to a club, and. incl
dentally, the value of Wards services
to the New York club, which was
approved by President Young, Of the
league, and in which his salary is placed
at $1,000. and then it recites the execu-
ton by Ward of supplement- contract.
The complaint specifically charges that
Ward himself wrote out the contract
with the reserve" clause in which the
club now seeks to hold him. The CON-
plant next recites Wards refusal to
fulfil the terms of this contract, and his
announcement that he intends to play
with the brotherhood. and asks that the
defendant be restrained from playing
baseball, or abetting any exhibition or
game of base ball during the season of
1890. There are also affidavits by Pres
ident Day and Supt. Bell attached to
the papers touching Wards engage

WASHINGTON, Dec. Calf the In
veStigatlOn just closed in the interior
department.. involving the claims of
hartmann & MaIlet. the Minnesota
Iron company and others TO parts OF
section 50, township 6S, range Ii, to
which patent was issued to Hartmann
Il Mallet by mistake. has demonstrated
nothing else. it has established the fact
that through the carelessness of clerks
IN the several departments serious
financial injury is at any time liable to
tall upon any person having claim to
land. The system in the department is
tangled web of red tape, and a cler-
teal error. apparently, would be
checked aud corrected in another di-
vision. La this case, however, an error
went through at least three sections of
the interior department without de-
lection. The patent was issued and
charges of fraud were at once made.
which implicated numerous employees
OF the department and neceSSitated
an investigation. That there was
no fraud is evident, but that there
was gross negligence is equally evident.
The worst feature of the affair is that
suspicion has been aroused and the
whole Duluth land district will suffer
theretrOm, as in numerous Instances
there patents ready 60 issue which are
being held back on suspicion. Duluth
land cases will be watched by the de-
partment very closely in future before
patents are issued. A curious point in

out in evidence that this decision was
forwarded by special messenger to the
Duluth land office, at the particular re-
quest of Capt. HaSSler, appointing clerk

out that whoever he was, he was ill.,

TO return the decision at once from
wherever he was when the telegram
reached hun. He was intercepted at
Fort Wayne. Ind, and the decision was
returned through the Adams Express
company. a new decision was mailed
to the collector and receiver of the Du-
luth land efflee. received there on the
2Sd. and scrip placed upon the land on
that day by Hartmann & MalIet. Ger
tain members of the Minnesota Iron
company filed contests against it. Just
how that decision was entrusted to a
special messenger, out of the common
order of things. will probably never be
known, but Secretary Villas was cOu-
WINGED that there was sharp practice
somewhere, and the commissioners
seem convinced of the same thing,
though. in the absence of Capt. Hass-
Ter. it is Impossible to get at the bottom
of the case.

Special to the Giote

Special to the GioEe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Mr. Dubois,
of Idaho. says that he does not aHtici-
pate any organized opposition to the adj
mission of Idaho and Wyoming, when
the question comes up. The senate is
undoubtedly i'll favor of the immediate
admission, and the majority Of the Re
publicans in the house have expressed
themselves as favorable. There has
been some talk of an effort by the Dem
ocrats to have bill passed admitting
New Mexico and Utah at the same
time, but Mr.. Dn Bots says he will try
to have the admission of each territory
considered on its merits. ''The Demo-
Gratis" said he, cannot afford to oppose
the admission of Idaho, for il they did
so as body the state would be surely
Republican when il did come in; where
as. believe that if it is admitted now
l should be about the only Republican
elected. l don't think they would try
to beat me, but am the first Republican
who ever was elected to anything that
amounted to anything in Idaho. The
Democrats can carry Idaho without an
effort, but if they are Short-sigbted
enough to oppose her admission they
will lose it in spite of all they can do"

KILLED IN A BRAWL.
A Drunken ARRAY Costs Two
Lives.

DOVER, Del, Dec pa drunken af-
fray, which cost two lives, happened at
Hartley, a small town in this county,
near the Maryland line. this afternoon.
Fred Mass and Alexander Dill, who run
a wheelwright ana blacksmith shop
at Hartley. aud this afternoon were
carouSing there with several frIeRds.
among whom were George Peterson
and John Hovey of Dover. Peterson,
who is also a blacksmith. tainted Mas
with the assertion that he did not know
his business. This angered Mas, and
he struck Peterson, and general fight
ensued. Peterson cut Mas with a
razor. the blade passing through his
left lung. Peterson also slashed DiiPs
throat in fearful manner. Mas died
in few minutes, and Dill is dying.
Peterson made his escape in the woods
after the cutting. and. it is thought, is
now in the forest on the Maryland side.
Scouting parties with torches, dogs and
shotguns are securing the woods to-
night, and the friends of the murdered
men swear they will shoot Peterson on
sight. Hovey, who was with Peterson,
was badly hurt during the fight, but has
mysteriously disappeared.
