SULLIVAN AND SMITH.
Money for a Fight Between them to be
Raised.

LONDON, July 15.-From inquiry it is safe to
say that the money for fight between Sulli-
van and Jem Smith, articles for which are now
in the hands Of the editor of Sporting Life,
will be Forthcoming when the time comes.
There is no doubt among Americans here and
Englishmen versed in fstic lore that Sullivan
would win, but there is always feeling in
favor of the contestant representing home tai
ent and enough money has been subscribed by
bookmakers to secure the stakes named in the
articles. They have a cheerful confidence that
they can recoup themselves from the pockets
of the ever gullible public, and tempting in
ducements are now on the way to Sullivan and
those of his friends who are supposed TO have
influence over him. If the affair can be con-
cluded, it will most probably take place in Hol-
land at the end of the racing season, when the
betting gentry will have time to devote to COW
ering the wagers of those of their fellow-coun-
trymen, whose patriotic instincts or weIl-man-
aged rumors, may lead them TO stake their
money upon Smith. As these professionals do
not generally bear the most sayory regulations,
some prominent members OF the Pelican club
will be put forward as the ostensible promoters
of the event

A SECRET SESSION.
The Engineers, Conductors, SwitchmeI
and Brakemen May Unite in a Strike.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, July 1.-two hundred
members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers held a secret session yesterday in
this city. Chief Arthur said there was no
truth in the report that the object of the meet
ing was to unite the associations of the engi-
neers, conductors, switchmen and brakemen
and that the only purpose was to get together
in a social way. He admitted the brakemen
aud switchmen desired the consolidation, but
denied that il was considered in the meeting.
The chief expressed positive opposition to the
proposition aud said he thought that nine
tenths of the brotherhood agree with him.
A well-known railroad official said last night
however. that it has been known in railroad
circles for some time that the engineers are
dissatisfied with the outcome of the strike on
the burlington system, and it has been under
stood that this meeting was to consider the
best plan Of retrieving their former power To
do this it is thought general strike of the en-
ginoers and hremen on every western road was
proposed,

TO-DAY'S YACHT RACE.
Though the Weather is Bad the Boats
Make a Good Start.

MARBLEHEAp, MASS, July 15.--There has
been marked change in the weather condi-
tion within the past twelve hours The beauti-
ful weather of yesterday has been followed by
cold northeast rainstorm; the wind, which
was light early this morning, is increasing. If
1t continues to gain strength it will have q
tendency to kick up nasty sea outside. The
race will. however, be sailed if the wind holds
good 1t is so thick outside that the starting
buoy can hardly be distinguished. There are
twenty-eight entries-four first-class schooners,
three second-class. In the third class the Clara
will have no competition. The same forty
footers that sailed Saturday will make up the
forty-footer class, while the special class will
have ten starters. In the seventh class the
Hilda and Romona will contest the honors.
The start will be made at 11:15, the course be-
ing from Halfway rock to Harding Bell buoy,
thence to Minots, and return, giving the yachts
dead beat home.
THE RACE WILL BE SAILED.
MARBLEHEAD NECK, MASS, July Is, 10:45 am.
Driving northeast rain storm prevails here, but
the race Of the Eastern yacht club will be
sailed.
THE FORTUNE CROSSES THE LINE FIRST.

jib topsaii. Mayfower crossed second, at
11:1614, with everything but staysail set. Next
came the Sea Fox, at 11:161l, with the same
sails set. The Mertin crossed last, at 11:l7La,
under similar canvas.
THE sECoND-CLAss scHooNERs START.
MARBEHEAD, 11:27 a. .m.-The second-class
schooners have gone over the line. The
Oenone, with staysail set, crossed first and
rapidly walked away from the Quckstep which
crossed at 1l:261a. The Diana did not come
to time at all.
ovERHAULING THE MAYFLowER.
11:2S a.m.-The Sea Fox appears to be over
hauling the Mayhower and the Mertin is
slowly crawling up on the others. The Oenone
seems to have the best of it in her race with
the Quickstep.
THE OTHER CLASS BOATS START.
11:40 p.m.-The fourth, fifth, sixth and sew
enth-class sloops crossed the line at IL 80, led
by the Clara. Most of the forties have their
balloon jibs set. The Fanita led in the fifth
class. 1t is impossible to distinguish the lead
ing forty.
The special class made a good start at II: :35
with about five yachts in the feet. The Saracen
seems to have the advantage of the Kathaieen.
THE COURSE OF THE BOATS.
11:55 a.m.-The course of the smaller boats is
from Halfway rock directto Southwest mark, of
Hardings, and return, a distance of 2315 nautical
miles. They are standing down under spank
ing breeze. Large schooners are heeling over
to a stiff breeze on their outside course and will
make a quick run. All the boats will be out of
sight when they reach First mark.

WALSH, NOT "SIMMONS."
The Frisco Police Satisfied He was
There When Cronin was Murdered.

SAN Francisco, July l5.-Maurice Walsh, the
sailor who mentioned in connection with
the Cronin murder returned to San Francisco
last night from Oakland where he had gone to
visit some friends. He readily answered all
questions relative to his movements in the
east and in Europe. where he alleges he trav-
eled with Luke Dillon. He is about the same
height given as Simmons statue. but in several
particulars his description would disagree with
that individual, and there is no doubt whatever
that Walsh is not only not that person. but also
that be was in San Francisco for weeks before
and after the murder. Irishmen here who are
considered as best qualified TO give an opinion
on the matter, scoff at the idea that Walsh was
in any way connected with the tragedy The
police also reject the theory and state that the
man for whom Walsh was mistaken, while
much like a well-known San Franciscan, has
never been in California. Walsh is now a fore
most hand on Panama steamer and will sail
i'll few days, as no attempt has been made to
detain him.

THE SIOUX COMMISSION.
Gen. Crook Believes the Requisite Sig.

CHICAGO, July ia dispatch from Fort Ben
nett, Oak, says: Gen. Crook, speaking of the
Sioux commission, expressed his belief that the
requisite number of names would be secured.
The commission, he said, had been in the res
eryation thirty-eight days and had secured

HADJI-HASSElN KHOULI KHAN.
His UnceremOnious Departure The
State Department in the Dark.

When Hadji-Hassein Khouli Khan Motamed
el Vesare-which, by the way, is the full name
OF the late minister from Persia to this coun-
try-left for New York last week with the in
tention of sailing for Europe, never, never to
return to the country of unmuzzled newspa-
pers, he gave no official intimation of his de-
cision beyond announcing that he had been
granted a leave Of absence. Therefore it
is that the State Department archives contain
nothing to indicate that this country is diplo-
matically severed from the land of the shah, for
Hadji Hassein, &C.. had
NO LETTERS OF RECALL TO PRESENT
when he made up his mind to CO. He will
meet his sovereign in Paris, whittier the latter
has gone as a counter attraction to the Eiffel
tower, and will there relate to him his woes
and show him his scrap book containing the
nice things the American papers have said
about them both. Hadji viii undoubtedly be
sent to more congenial cline, and perhaps in
the shah's own good time another envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary from
Persia to the land of the Christian will be sent
from Teheran. armed with credentials and also
with Hadji- Hasseins letters of recall. which he
will present to the President together But
until then the diplomatic list will continue to
bear the sinuous name of the late departed
Hadji as the representative of the shah.
WHEN KHoULI KHAN's TROUBLES BEGAN
Itwould seem that Hadji-Hasse in's troubles
and disappointmcnts began with his arrival
here, which was delayed many months beyond
the regulation period. He was met in New
York by the chief clerk of the State depart
ment in tug. whereas his ideas of oriental
splendor had coniured up to his mind picture
of the President Oh a man-of-war waiting with
open arms to welcome him to the shores of the
land OF freedom. His disappointment was
great and was tenfold increased when the little
steamer glided under the muzzles of the guns
at Governors Island and no salute was given to
the man who represented the eternal kingdom
of flowers. Thenceforth Mr.. II. H. X. X. NJ.
el Vesare was bitterly disappointed person,
and the onslaughts OF the press formed the last
straw.

THE WAR IN EGYPT,
More English Regiments Sent On-A
Good Deal of Hard Work to be Done.

LONDON. July l5.-fwO more regiments are
off for Egypt, and il is certain that others will
be speedily required there. English love of
military glory received mild exaltation by the
news of the victory over the dervishes at
Arquin. but it is becoming evident that a good
deal OF work.and hard work, too, remains to be
done there before the fanatics from the Soudan
are definitely driven back. Prisoners speak of
the number OF men under the successor of the
mahdi as being like the sands of the sea. and.
making due allowance for eNaggeration. n IL
safe to assume that their number il formidable.
They hold the Egyptian f,ilshen in well
merlted contempt, are themselves brave to
rashness, and in their ignorance have no dread
of contest even with disciplined troops. The
party dispersed by Gen. Grenfell was merely
one detached for purposes OF foraging and re-
connolssance. and he admits that the main
body OF the enemy is steadily marching north
ward. his own troops following on parallel lines
without caring to risk an attack upon it, So
far from there being any probability of recov-
ering hhartoum, the khediye may consider
himself fortunate If he succeeds in driving the
invaders from the territory which they now
hold. In the meantime this irruption from the
south furnishes a capital pretext for the con-
tinuance of British occupation.
