SULLIVAN AND JACKSON,
Ghe California Athletic Club Will Civ
 Them Il Big Purse to Fight.


 NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-E. E. Craig, a member of the California Athletic Club, arrived in this city this morning. Speaking of Suliivan's offer to meet Jackson for purse of S25, ,OOO, he said:
 ''The California Club will give no such amount of money for anybody to fight for. The game is not worth the candle, but it will give larger purse than has ever before been offered in this country.''
 Twill there be another fight between Dempsey and La Blanche?''
 II hardly think so. La Blanche is well satisfied to rest upon his laurels as far as Dempsey is concerned, all though 1 think the Marine is the Non pariel's master, and so does every one who saw the meeting between them. For the first twenty-Seven rounds Jack had things his own way. From the twenty-seventh to tho thirty-first round the fighting was worry even, but after that the Marine gained ground. How he knocked Dempsey out is still a n1yS- tery to all who saw the fight, and whether it was done with his fist or his elbow, the Marine, only can tell. It was one of the biggest surprise parties that had occurred in San Francisco for years, and we have had good many of them.''
 According to Craig's statements, young SpreclSles, nephew of the sugar king, was the only winner on tho Ma rine, the whole house being for Demp- sey, and the betting at odds of S1OO to $40 in his favor.

She Entertained Chicago Anarchists with
 Lurid Address.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Mrs. Lucy Parsons entertained the members of the Arbeiter Bund, who gathered at Turner Hall last evening, with very lurid address. She abused the police in terms that havo become familiar from frequent repeti- tion, referred to the red flag as the only banner that would lead to freedom, and ventured into the realm of theology as she spoke of her dead husband and child.
 Do you suppose they kissed each other in the beautifully described here after?" she said. Bah! don't be de- ceived. So-called Christians will tell you such things. What we want are homes in this world and let God, Christ and all religious functionaries take care of themselves. This is the teaching of anarchy. and as such 1t will live. The principles of anarchy will prevail, even though it takes blood to make them su- preme.'
 Mrs. Parsons was followed by Moritz Schiltz, of New York, who spoke in German. His talk was semi-political in it's character. He said the world at large underestimated the number of anarchists by half, and all they needed to secure certain success was united action

JEFF DAVIS VERY ILL.
He Is Weak that any Rela pse is Almost
 Certain to Prove Fatal.


 Certain to Prove Fatal.
 son Davis is lying dangerously i'll at the residence of MT. l. U. Payne in this city. Last night, as on the previous night, he was very restless and became much worse after midnight, although not as sick as on Friday. The weather, which was heavy, damp, and cold, great difficulty was encountered in pre- serving that even temperature in the room regarded as absolutely necessary to the patient. It is evident that Mr. Davis'S condition is extremely critical.
 Should he have a return of the dit1i- culty in breathing which attacked him on Friday night, or any other relapse, the chances arc that he will die. He is so weak that he is unable to lift his arm or turn over in bed. His only food is beef tea, and this he takes by the teaspoonful. Last night he suffered somewhat from nausea, and it was feared that his stomach also was failing him, which would have proved danger ous in his present low condition, but he recovered and took the beef tea regu- larly. During the night MT. Davis had a return of fever, but it passed away, and to-day he is somewhat better.
 Mrs. Davis still takes a favorable view of her husbands condition, and calls attention to the fact that sine has hursed him through many similar at tacks. The unfavorable circumstances are his age and his present great weak ness. For nearly a year past friends who have seen him at Beauvoir have recognized the fact that his health was failing, and that old age was beginning to tell on him.

NEW YoEK, Dec. 1S.-Dr. McG1y1ln de- livered an address last night before 8 fair-SiZed audience at Cooper Union, in which he made allusion to the removal of the body of Miss Kelly from Calvary Cemetery.

He walked about Prospect Park and Goat Island, and spoke espe- cially of the fascination he experienced while standing at Prospect Point view ing the American falls, and asked many questions in regard to people who have jumped from that point into the river. On Saturday morning his mind had apparently cleared, for it was on that morning that he sent the dispatch to his father informing of his where- abouts, and begging him to come and bring his wife. His father arrived yes terday morning. .lis son was delighted at his arrival. He kept his bed all day, saving his strength for the journey home. The sons brain, it is thought has been affected temporarily by ma laria.

FOR HIGH LICENSE Mass Meeting of Catholics ill
 Baltimore.
CARDINAL GIBBONS PREsIDEs.
Several Archbishops and Bishops and a
 Large Number of Clergy Present.

Strong Resolutions Adopted-A Belief that
 High License Will Diminish Intemper-
 apcc-Want the Number of Saloons in
 Any One Locality Limited by Statute,
 and Kept Away from Churches.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 1S.-An immense mass meeting under the auspices of the Catholics was held at the Academy of Music last night. with the purpose of advancing the high license movement. The meeting was presided over by Car tinal Gibbons, and upon the stage were Archbishops Ireland of St. Paul, Elder of Cincinnati, Bishop Virtue Of Eng land, Monsignor McColgan and large number of priests.
 Tn the opening of the meeting Cardi- nal Gibbons said: II appear before you tonight not only as a churchman, but as a fellowcitizen, anxious for the welfare of my native city. Whatever contributes to the moral growth of Bal moro and the happiness of its people will always have my most hearty ap- proval, and l believe the cause we are here to advocate to- night will enhance our welfare. It will be the means of bettering the condition of the poorer people and laboring classes. The movement we are striving for is for tho Iaboring man and it must and shall be successful.
 The speeches were made by Rev. Jas. Nugent, of England, and Rev. Dr. Cleary. of Wisconsin: Archbishop Ire land, of St. Paul, and Bishop keane.
 The following resolutions were adopted:
 The Catholic clergy and laity of Baltimore. recognizing the gigantic evils of intemper- ancc, inperilling the interests and well-being of the State and society, and casting about for a means which will diminish the evil and pave the way to a complete moral restitution, be- lieve they see this remedy in high license.
 They have been backward in uniting in the efforts of many of their distinguished fellow citizens in the holy cause. It was not from ignorance of the great danger, nor lack of heartfelt interest to avert it, but solely from their inability to compromise the sacred in- tereSts of truth by accerting certain portions which were sometimes found to be the con coInitantS of such movements under Catholic auspices.
 It is resolved that high license is the only feasible and hopeful means of extcrminating the dcluge of vices and crimes Of which drunk enneSs is the fruitful source. The license should be put so high as to make it practically prOhi ibtOry regards the multitude of low saloons. Certain restrictions should be en- acted as to the time and place of sale. The number of saloons in any one radius should be restricted by statute and should not be al- lowed near churches or schools. License should be given only to persons of tried char
