sullivan's Condition.

New ORLEANS, June 29.-J. w. Bar.
nett, who left John L.Sullivan Wednesday
evening at his training quarters in New
York, states he arrived here this morning
to receive the notice as to the selection Of
the battle grounds. Being introduced,
Barnett said: sullivan never looked
better. l knew him when he fought Ryan,
and tell you frankly he is in better shape
at present than ever in his life. AS far as
can see there is not bit of surplus flesh
on him, and the story that he is flabby
looking about the muscles Is all bosh. His
wind is excellent, and his legs are as solid
and strong as. bars of steel. Just before
left he skipped rope 500 times without
break, and man must have pretty good
legs and mighty good wind to do that"
Sullivan does everything Muldoon tells
him, and he realizes fully that he must
show the country again Just what he is
made of. When he strips the public will
be amazed to see the magnificent speci-
men OF combined muscle he is. He is
verify Hercules, and all his pristine
strength Of limb and vigor of rush have
come back. The big fellow himself has as
little fear about the result as he would
have if Andy Bowers was to be his oppo-
nent. Barnett says that AIuldoon is
deserving of great credit for what has
been accomplished in training Sullivan
and giving him lessons in wrestling. He
says that when Sullivan gets into the ring
ne will know point or two about wres-
tling that have never occurred to Kilrain.
Barnett does not know who will be behind
Sullivan in the big fight. Cleary can be
counted on, but the other man is unknown.
Maybe it will be Ashton, though Sullivan
did not know himself last week who was
likely to assist CIeary. Muldoon is spoken
Of and could fill the bill, but Muldoon
would hardly care to get behind John.
He would prefer to have some
experienced man. However, the
matter will be decided in a
few days, and when it is the name of
the missing second will be made public.
AS far as Sullivan is concerned, nothin g
will interfere with the fight unless the
champion drops dead. The Kllrain party
will be conceded everything in order that
there may be no kick. Any square man
to referee the game will be satisfactory
to Sullivan, and it does not matter where
he halls from. There will be plenty
of good men down from the north, and
there are good men right here IN New Or.
leans capable Of serving. As far as the
interest north is concerned, it is getting
more intense every day. So far there has
been little betting in New York, but what
there is Of it, Barnett says, is Favorable to
Sullivan.

Yale-Harxartl Boat RACE,

New LONDON, Conn.,, June 28.-The
Fourteenth annual four-mile straight away
eight cared boat race, between crews rep
resenting the universities of Yale and
Harvard, was rowed from Winthrop's
point to Gales ferry and was won by Yale
by six boat lengths. Official time: Yale
21:S0, Harvard 21:SS. A series of rcces be-
tween these colleges now stand: Yale
Victories 6 defeats; Harvard 8 victories, 8
defeats. Yale also holds the record for the
fastest time over the course (2O:lO), made
last year. The crowd which saw the race
was unusually large, there being several
thousand more strangers in town than
for several years. Throughout the
race the demonstrations by friends
of the two crews was noisy and exciting
to high degree. The race, originally set
for II o'clock, was postponed until even
ing on account of very rough water. The
Yale crew were the first to show up, COM
ing down the river at 6:25 and getting into
their boat at $50. Harvard was very
slow. They had their shell stored in the
boat house near the start. In spite of this
they kept the Yale crew waiting in their
shell fully 40 minutes. At TIA Harvard
pushed away from their float and pulled
to line, where they were quickly lined up,
and after Yale had made a false start,
promptly sent away by the refree at 7:2O.
At the word "go," Harvard caught the
water first and her shell forged ahead of
Yale by half length. Harvard started
off with strike of "a and Yale SO
At two miles Yale showed boats length
of clear water, and the race was finished so
far as Harvard's chances were concerned.
At that point 1.-TWO miles) Yale was pulling
80 and Harvard 80. After passing the
two-mile flag, Nos. S and in the Harvard
boats splashed badly and their body move
ment was bad. Yale's long. sweeping
stroke sent them further and further
ahead and al the two and half-mile flag,
they had lead of fully four lengths.
At three-Quarter mile Yale struck smooth
water, close under the bank, and two ad-
ditional leugths were quickly added to her
lead. Harvard made final effort to less
en- the distance. but 10 no purpose, as Yale
crossed the line easy winner by six lengths.
The official time for each half mile was as
follows: Half mile 2:28, one mile 4:47,
mile and a half 7:15, two miles 1903. two
and half miles 1901, three miles 1887,
three and half miles 1875, four miles

Prospects in the Northwest.

Shows a Decided Improvement in Crop
Prospects in the Northwest.
NEW YORK, June 28.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: 1t has been q
week OF considerable excitement in. specu.
lative circles and of heavy general trade
without material change in the conditions.
AS all depends in large measure, at this
season, upon the crop prospects, it is most
encouraging to find reports in this par
ticular unusually favorable. The only
noteworthy exception being that some
damage to cotton and grain from frequent
rains is reported at Galveston. In the
northwest the grain outlook is particularly
fine, great improvement being reported in
quarters where therel had been some appre.
hension. With crops of unusual mag
nitude highly probable, and with
the general volume of business
so maintained that an increase
Of 80 per cent. over last year appears in
the closing house returns, the prospect is
not gloomy. Detroit notes a quiet busi-
ness and Kansas City and Omaha report
fair activity. At Milwaukee fair i'm.
provement is seen, with greater activity.
Wheat has advanced 2cents with sales of
A,O00,O00 bushels on Wednesday and 55,-
100000 for the week, but all accounts of
harvesting thus far are satisfactory. Corn
and oats each declined fraction and
coffee is still sold heavily, the transactions
for the week reaching 100000 bags, and
has declined u cent. Pork and pork pro.
ducts are all a little stronger. Business
failures number 215 as compared with go
last week, and $50 the week previous. Fol
the corresponding week of last year the
figures were 2Ol.

sleeping cars and baggage car left

charge of Thomas Kllkenney of Syracuse,
and picked up Sullivan, Muldoon, Charlie
johnson and J. g. Warner of Rochester at

his trainer had left the Western New York
& Pennsylvania train before arriving at

splration. for they had tramped about fif-
teen miles without any supper. Sullivan
was the most cheerful Of the four. he
wore white soft felt hat, coarse WOOlen

ever it may be. He is able to fight fur
1Ously and fast for an hour, or slow and
sure for three hours" The champion was
tired and soon fell asleep, while MuldoOn
watched over him in q fatherly way. Mui-

The Rochester Insane Asylum.

ST. PAUL, June 28.-The special COM
mission to investigate the reports of out
rageous treatment of patients in the
Rochester insane asylum began its session
in this city to-day. A large number of
witnesses were examined and some SEN
sational testimony heard. Mrs. Luck told
of visits to her husband at the asylum, and
discovering that he was being badly cared
for and much maltreated. Mrs. Saphrona
Sharp proved good witness. She said
she was taken to the asylum on April S,
1882, from Mortified, and was there until
the 9th Ut October of the same year. The
fault she found was not with the treat
ment bestowed upon her but upon other
patients. There was q girl named MUIR
ply there at the time, a simple and inof-
fensive creature, who was not violent
One day DR.. Vincent jumped on this
poor girl with all his force, his knees
striking her with full force in her
abdomen. He stayed on top of tht, girl
sometime and punched her with his fist.
There was no possible call for his action.
The witness saw this with her own eyes.
One time when a girl had been confined
unwarrantantably in the ''crib," a place of
detention for violent patients, DR.. Vincent
entered the crib and jumped on the girl
and trod upon her. The struggle lasted
perhaps half an hour. The witness closed
the door so that Mrs. Bowers.
who was in delicate condition,
might not hear the terrible
screams of the girl. The girl never ought
to have been hardly deal with in the
world. The next witness detailed the case
of Mrs. Andrews. Mrs. Andrews, the wit
ness graphically related, was the woman
who was not of the violent class, as far as
she knew. She had been shut up in the
crib for number of days at time, with
nothing to eat. Mrs. Andrews was kept
at different times in the crib entirely nude.
She was once taken from there nude and
scrubbed with a common broom. Witness
also mentioned other instances of unwar-
ranted abusive treatment of patients. Mrs.
M. Downing, of South st. Paul, said she
visited her daughter, who was quiet pa
tiert at Rochester and found that some Of
her teeth were knocked out and that her
head had been badly bruised. Gordon S.
Hazeltine, Of Minneapolis, recited in
stances where he had seen an offensive pa-
tient knocked down and beaten by the at
tendants. Others testified to a similar
strain.
