came TO him as a farm pupil,

Afraid of the American.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-A special cable TO
the Police Gasette says there are many
rumors being circulated about the fight.
Billy Madden, McAuliire's trainer, claims
that Slavin is afraid of the American and
believes he did not want to meet him. A
well known American says the arrest Of
McAuliife is due TO the fact that Slavin
has trained of, and those who backed
him had the American arrested to save
their money.
Crichton Temple, Of the Ormonde club
attributes McAuliire's arrest 10 the fac,
that the Prince of Wales was going 10
attend the fight. At meeting Of the
Pelican club to-day, Lord Lonsdale and
Richard X. Fox, of New York, decided
that rather than see the match fall
through they would, il the authorities pre-
vented il, put up between them the same
purse offered by the Ormonde club and
bring the fight OF on the continent.

Postponed Conference Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Although a
meeting of the conference committee on
the tariff bill was called for this morning,
when the hour OF meeting arrived the
democratic members were notified that
there would be no meeting. The reason
for the postponemeut is desire on the
part OF the republican conferecs TO con.
suit further among themselves. II ap.
pears no progress has been made since
Saturday in the disposition of the sugar,
binding twine, bonded period, and metal
amendments, but that these are in such
shape II an agreement can be reached
upon one. il will probably also result in
an agreement upon the other.

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES.
Debate on Their Report Expected 10 Re-
GIN ON Thursday.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-At late hour
tonight il was confidently expected By
the republican conferees on the tariff bill
that Wednesday or Thursday ut the latest
will witness the opening Of the debate on
the conference report. While the dis
puted questions of most importance,
sugar. binding twine and steel duhes are
not settled, the conferees are near enough
TO warrant them in saying they had no
doubt some basis OF agreement will be
reached tomorrow. The bonding period
about which there has been so much talk
has been definitely settled for February.
There is, il is thought, good reason to pre-
dict that the free sugar standard will be
placed at Il and not at l6, as proposed By
the house, that a compromise generally
favorable to the house rates will be tho
outcome Of the disputes over the various
items on the metal schedule. and that
binding twine also will be the subject of .
compromise. Southern republican con-
gressmen have adopted resolutions do
claring IL essential 10 the interests of their
constituents that the tax on tobacco should
be left as fixed by the house.

Major Maginnis Being Enthusiastically
Received In Idaho.

BOISE CITY, Sept. 22.--One thousand
people applauded an eloquent speech by
Major Maginnis at the opera house here
tonight.
In the history Of political campaigns In
this state never was more enthusiastic

fact that the meeting had been postponed

the echo.
lie spoke upon the subject OF silver and
showed how the republican party had de-
basedthe great product of the mines Of
Idaho and Montana. He told the record
OF the thieves who were permitted TO plum
der the country under the republican ad-
ministration, and he demolished the silly
and untruthful contention that the demo-
crats had retarded Idaho's statehood, or
even in the slightest manner injured her
lead interests.
IL was by far the beat political speech
delivered in this city during this
campaign and bad the effect Of
inspiring the democrats of Ada county
with renewed determination 10 place this
as the banner democratic county on the
day Of election. Tomorrow Major Ma
ginnis goes into the Cour d'Alene, where
he will speak at two or three places before
returning to Montana, on Saturday. Major
Maginnis said To your correspondent
MY republican friends need have no
fears OF my being absent from
Montana during the campaign up
there. I'll be there, and won't fail
in my humble way TO do all in my power
for the election Of our candidate, Judge

A FATAL ENCOUNTER.
Bullets Give AN Avaricious Brother-in-
Law His Quietus.

Law His Quietus.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-To-nigbt a fatal
street aifray between brothers-in-law
ended a remarkable contest for the
possession Of fortune Of 100000. Alfred
Richner, several years ago was the hus-
band Of noted brothel keeper.
Notwithstanding this and his unsavory
record Richner succeeded in clande-
stinely working himself into the good
graces of the daughter of wealthy
flour and feed dealer named
Kessler. Upon Kessler's death the daugh.
ter, who seems 10 have been somewhat
simple minded. disclosed her attachment
for Richner. The instant opposition of
the family TO any recognition of that
worthy resulted in prompt elope-
ment Of the couple to Montreal.
Richner later went through the
form of obtainining a divorce
from the brothel keeper and having his
marriage with Miss Kcssler lcgalized.
They then returned to Chicago and feud
was soon engendered between Richnei
and his new wife's brother.
The latter accused Richner with being
actuated solely with a desire TO lay his
hands on the fortune Of his sister. Legal
struggles and personal encounters between
Richner and young Kessler have been
frequent. Recently, il is alleged, Richner
failing in his efforts to get at the kessler
patrimony. has threatened TO Kill every
member of the family.
Tonight lie met young Kessler on State
street and struck him with a cane. Kessler
drew a revolver and fired several shots
into Richners body, inhicting fatal in
juries. Kcssler gave himself up and said
he had been advised TO arm himself Ivy
the city chief OF detectives and his attor,
ney, Gen. John c. Black. The atfray took
place in a crowded part of State stree,
and for q short time created wild
stampede.
