Associated Press Dispatches
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-A London special
says: The Slavin-McAuliffe fight for
the championship of the world and the
international championship belt, is
likely to take place within the next
eighteen hours. The principals and
hackers are here. The price of tickets
ranges from $50 to $3.50. McAulife will
fight at 200 pounds, twenty-four pounds
lighter than when he fought Jackson,
while he is in better condition than ever
before. Slavin has been boasting that
he will quickly knock out his opponent,
but betting remains five to six on the
San Francisco boy. The amount that
will change hands on the result
will exceed $1,000,O0O. The resorts
are crowded with sports from all
the principal cities, as well as
from Paris and Brussels. Detectives in
plain clothes are seen in every throng,
for the authorities realize that it will be
feather in their cap if they can stop
the fight and arrest the principals.
LONDON, Sept 1S.-The Press Associa-
ton says tonight's meeting of Slavin
and McAuliffe will be purely a formal
affair for the purpose of making ar
rangements for the coming fight. The
Sportsman says both men are IN the
finest trim.

DUBLIN, Sept. 1S.-John Dillon was
arrested this morning, at his residence,
near this city, and conveyed on special
train to Tipperary, accompanied by a
large military escort. William O'Brien
was arrested at Glengariff and taken to
Cork. Warrants have been issued for
the arrest OF Sheehy and Condor, mem
bers of the Commons, Patrick O'Brien
and Rev. David Humphreys, of Tippe-
rary. The charges on which Dillon was
was arrested, are conspiracy and incit-
ing tenants on Smith Barry's estate not
to pay rents.
The.arrest of William O'Briei was
made at the Glengariff hotel. The
charges against O'Brien are similar to
those on which Dillon was arrested.
O'Brien was Immediately carried to
Dublin.
In addition to those already mention
ed, it is ascertained that warrant has
been issued for man named Dalton,
who has been active in the work of the
land league.
Here in Dublin the police are keeping
a strict watch over the headquarters OF
the land league. Dispatches from Tip
perary report that the organizers of the
local branch of the league there are un-
der close police surveillance. This leads
to the belief that the authorities
are contemplating further arrests. The
Irish Nationalists had no suspicion OF
the impending blow, and are at loss
to know what it portends. Mingled sur
prise and Indignation are the predomi-
nant feelings. Dispatches from various
parts of Ireland indicate that the
Nationalists are everywhere excited over
the arrests.
O'Brien and wife arrived at Tipperary
tonight. They were enthusiastically
cheered during their passage
through the town. In court
the prosecutor asked that O'Brien
be remanded until Thursday in
Ell 900 bail. This was done. The police
inspector denied on examination that
the mission to America had anything
to do with the arrests. Dillon was
= also received by a large crowd, and after
giving bail, addressed the people from
the steps of his house. The warrant
mentioned the offenses as occurring be-
tween March and September. A con-
stable served warrant on Sheehy, but
did not arrest him.

Reconsider.
The Double Site Is No Longer
Wanted.
The Local Commission Will be Asked

George R. Davis, of Chicago, Selected for
Director-General-Ut Pro-
posed Exhibit.
Associated Press Dispatches.1

Associated Press Dispatches.1
CHICAGO, Sept, 1S.-From today's
action of the natioral worlds fair COM
missioners, and from a can
vass of the commission, it
can be stated that the majority
of that body is finally and irrevocably
opposed to :the double site for the
worlds fair, and that on Saturday next
resolution will be offered and adopted,
requesting the Chicago directory to ten
der Washington Park (or what is gener-
ally known as South park In case this
is refused. the commission will report to
Washington that no adequate site has
been offered.
There are indications of a change in
sentiment in regard to the director-gen-
eralship, and from indications tonight,
the local directory will select one man
as directorsgeneral, probably George R.
Davis, wh& It is thought the national
commission will elect man of their
own, with the title of commissioner
general, and will place him in charge of
all foreign and interstate exhibits in
connection with the fair. This will,
OF course, curtail the powers OF the di-
rector-general.
Today's meeting of the commission
was an exciting one. Soon after the
body was called to order resolution
was offered by Mercer, of Wyoming,
which had already been agreed upon in
caucus. 1t sets forth that the act of
congress provided for the tender of 'an
adequate site," and whereas resolu-
ton adopted by the commission at its
first session, implies that it adopted two
sites, resolved, that the former action be
reconsidered and the Chicago directors
called upon for site adequate and in
one compact body.
Mercer, Mcdonald California; ,Sewall
New Jersey, st. Clair (Virginia)
Martindale Qndiana) and others spoke
in favor of the resolution, and their
comments on the action of Chicago so
far, were scathing. Finally the matter
