Ed Smith, the Doughty Colorado Pugilist,
Stays with Peter.
CHICAGO, May 19..Six thousand people
so-night witnessed ar rattling fve-round
match with four-ounce gloves between
Peter jackson, the colored Australian
champion who is to fight John L. Sullivan,
and Ed Smith, champion of Colorado.
Much interest was taken in the question of
Smiths ability as against jackson, owing
to the fact that the Colorado man has been
trained by Sullivan and Muldoon, the
wrestler, and to the further fact that Smith
recently knocked out Mike Cleary IN one
round. Smith made decidedly good show
ing against the big colored man, standing
up five rounds without suffering KNOCK.

round and was foored three times. but in
the succeeding rounds rallied and though
at disadvantage from Jackson's long
reach. landed repeatedly on Jackson's jaw
and wind. Both men were groggy when
the combat ended. Muldcon offered
to back Smith for 5000 for fight against
any man in the world, bar Sullivan, Nc

are expected to arrive tonight and the
company seem determined to again begin
operating their plant. No violence was
ohered, but none of the old hands show
any signs of acceding to the company's
offer. Probably fifteen detectives, mostly
from Helena, arc guarding tho company's
property, though this precaution is prob
ably unnecessary, as the men are now all
quiet. They only wish to talk with the
new arrivals and if possible persuade them
not to work, but they are allowed to do as
they please.

GROWING TALKATIvE.

Bismarck Twice Observation-Disclosures
French, Prusso-Austrian Alliances.
PARIS, May 19.-In an interview recently
had with him byDr. Soux,a French journal
istBismarck said the dangerahead lay in the
sentimental anger of the French over the
loss of Alsace-Lorraine. Supposing France
and Russia crushed Germany. he said, who
would be the gamer? Russia would
certainly devour France. Germany was the
bulwark of western Europe against Russian
invasion. Talking with the correspondent
of Novoe Vremyea, of st. Petersburg, the
chancellor declared that Austria was not 80
near decay as people imagined Germany
needs Austria for the same reason that
Russia needs France. War be-
tween Germany and Russia would be
the greatest mistake, but was for many
reasons almost impossible. The labor con-
ference was blow in the air. The discou-
tent of capitalists was much more danger
ous than the discomfort of workmen.

Surveying in Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-[Special.] ]-Secre-
tary Noble to-day gave an opinion in re-
sponse to petition from Lewis Dizmer and
thirty-six other residents of Washington,
who claim to be bona fide settlers on unsur-
yeyed lands in that state. They asked to be
allowed to make the surveys on the deposit
system and this was granted. The land to
be surveyed is in township 10, range Z. The
surveyor r-general of the state is directed to
make contracts for the surveys and is noti-
fed that if the land lies within the limits of
the Northern Pacific land grant that COM
pany will be obliged to share the expense.
The petitioners in laying their case before
the department make some statements of
general interest. They affirm that the apri
cultural interests of the state have not kent
pace with the growth of the large towns be-
cause the surveyed lands have not been
equal to the demands of immigration.

MORTGAGES ON CLAIMS.

Where an Entryman's Claim Is Cancelled a
Mortgage Has No Right.
WARRINGTON, May 19.-[Special. .]-Secre-
tary Noble to-day decided. a land case which
involves the. right of mortgages in contested
cases and is of interest wherever public
lands are taken under the homestead law.
The entryman in this case was James Ross,
who fled on land in the Fargo, N. D., dis
trict. His claim was cancelled for lack al
good faith. Before this, however, he exc
cuted mortgage to the Colonial and
United States Mortgage company. The
company did not notify the land Office and
SO had no hearing when the case was under
consideration. 1t claims it has had no day
in court. The secretary rules that it was not
entitled to notice unless it had notified the
local office of its interest in the land. As
the entryman failed to show good faith the
company would have no claim, for the Sec
retary holds the transferee on a mortgage
stands in the position of the entryman,
rather than that of bona fde purchaser.

STUCK TO THE SCHEDULE.
The House Refuses to Admit Silver
Lead Ores Free
Of Duty.
Carter Makes q Vigorous Five
Minute Speech on the
Subject,
RumOr That y. n. Walker VIII He Made
Assayer, ana Mr. Wheeler Postmaster,
BY Way Of Compromise.

sentative Carter, of Montana, participated
in the fight made in the house to retain the
provision in the tariff bill providing duty
of ~ cents per pound on lead shipped into
this country with silver ores, which under
the ruling of the treasury department, come
| in free if the value of the silver predom-
mates. 1t was the first section discussed,
where the speakers confined themselves
directly to the subject. In the gnlleries
there were many people eagerly watching
the contest. Those from Montana were:
Mrs. Carter, Russell Harrison, Col. and
Mrs. Sanders and Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Lockey. Among other western men was
Dennis Sheedy, of Denver, who was alluded
to as man who would 90 out of
the capitol a million dollars
richer if the bill became law
with the present lead schedule unchanged,
Carter had charge of the. opposition to the
Funston amendment and opened the debate.
He quoted the history of the present lead
regulations and showed how imports of
Mexican lead had increased to the detri-
ment of the American miners. The lead
miners were now compelled to compete
with the twenty-five cents-a-day miners in
Mexico. The fate Of 5000 men engaged in
mining, the financial, commercial and in
dustrial system of the Rocky mountains
was hanging in the balance. The opposi-
tion to the tariff on lead was represented by
$25.OOO,OOO smelling trust. Hundreds of
men engaged in the Rocky mountain
country, working little lead mines, furn-
ishing their products to the lead smelters.
were anxiously awaiting the decision
OF congress on this important
question. At the close of his remarks he
presented two petitions and said: "Here
are petitions from 5000 miners in the
Northwest asking for this tariff and they are
followed by O,OOO more who are doing bat
tie for their bread against the Is cent labor
ers of Mexico.''
Mr.. Carter closed the debate in a five
minute talk. He urged the members to do
justice to the miners. He said that it was q
fight agairss The white lead trust and smelt-
ing trust and the southwestern railroads
leading to Mexico, all combined against the
$4,000 unorganized miners of the Rocky
mountains.
The first vote showed that the lead pro-
ducers had won. OF the republicans who
voted against the bill were: Anderson.
Kelley, Funston, Morrill,, Hopkins Taylor,
of Illinois. Gear, Butterworth and Cannon.
The only democrats who voted for the 11S
cents tariff were Clunie, of California, and
Catchings, of Mississippi.
Dubois, of Idaho, made very hot five
minutes speech, and charged that no one
on the republican side would oppose the
scheme who did not have a smelter in his
district.

\ DIVIDED DELEGATION.

Doiph and Mitchell, OF Oregon, Split ON
the Silver Question.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-The silver bill was
taken up and Dolph addressed the senate.
He thought International bi-metalism was
desirable. In considering the various plans
proposed he was satisfied that the plan
proposed by the secretary of the treasury
was open to less and fewer objections than
any others, if the purpose was to keep both
gold and silver coins in circulation. He
argued against the free coinage Of silver as
something that would stop the coinage of
gold, but remarked that what he said in
regard to- free coinage did not of
course apply to free coinage under interna--
tional agreement establishing a ratio be-
tween gold and silver. At the close of
Dolph's speech Teller criticised it ana said
that, it would not do for that senator or
any other senator to say with unction that
ne was for double standard, or for silver,
and then favor measures which were
absolutely destructive of silver as money.
He did not propose that the country should
be deceived into believing that the PROPOSE
tlon which came from the finance commi t.
tee meant silver at all. On the contrary,
1t meant single gold standard.
Mitchell expressed dissent from the views
expressed by his colleague, (Dolph), saying
IN part: Two state conventions recently
met in Oregon; each resolved unanimously
without any hesitation or equivocation tina
they were in favor of free and unlimite d
coinage of silver. / believe each of those
conventions was composed of representa-
tive men of the respective parties of our
state. believe that in adopting those reso-
lutions they voiced the sentiment almost
universally of the people of Oregon. There
fore, do not desire it to go ont that nv
colleagues speech here on this question
voices the whole of the sentiment of Oregon
80 far as the representation of that state is
concerned on this floor.
On motion of Wilson, of Iowa. it was or
dered that the senate bill subjecting i'm
the several states be taken up to-morrow
after routine morning business.
