A LONG EXPECTED FIGHT.
McAuIife Badly Whipped by slavfn th'
Australian.

Australian.
The long expected fight between Joe Nc
Auliffe, the American pugilist, and Frank
Slavin, the Australian, was fought at the
Ormonde Club, London. McAuliffe was
easily knocked out by Slavin. The hall
where the fight occurred is about forty by
twenty feet, and the ring in the center
measured nineteen feet each way, the space
being inclosed by stout ropes and sprinkled
with sawdust. Two notices were posted on
the walls, one cautioning gentlemen against
approaching the ropes and the sec1nd read
ing seconds are cautioned against shout
ing during the contest. No instructions
must be given men.
First round-The men came up smiling,
particularly McAuliffe, who kept broad
grin. Joe had a marked advantage and
drew first blood by slashing lunge on the
nose, which he followed up by many of the
same sort Slavin seemed TO have no chance
whatever and only got in an occasion al
body blow with perhaps few head hits.
The American s chances were rec koned far
better than those CT his opponent
Second round-Tnc men came up lively
after ten seconds interval McAuliffe
looked fresh, and Slavin bled over the left
eye Those who watched him closely, how
ever, might have seen wicked look under
his heavy brOws, and not only was there a
Wick6 q look but q WlckcI intention pack OF
it. In less than two minutes the tables
were turned. and so was America S
proud bruiser turned over on his back,
sprawling prone in the sawdust, knocked
out entirely. and SO dazed that when he at
tempted to rise he was SO giddy that he tell
back again, and bruised and bleeding was
carried back to his corner defeated. Sla-
wins terrific body blows had done their un-
perceived but deadly work, and McAuliffe's
apparently brilliant opening had been only
a fictitious dash, worthless against the Aus
tralian's superior grit and science.

INDIANS GETTING RESTLESS.
A Big Indian Uprising Is Predicted.

A Big indian UPRISING Is Predlctod.
Capt. Trimbleton, of the Seventh United
States Cavalry, commandant at Fort Sill,
says the greatest Indian uprising of recent
times is certainly to come soon. The In
dams, he says, have got the idea that the
Great Medicine Man is coming to wipe out
the whites and restore to them the owner
ship of the country. The result is
that they have entered with the fervor
of fanatics upon series of lamentations
and religious orgies. The 5000 Indians
about Fort Sill have renounced Christianity,
and he is certain that in a short time some
body will pretend to be the expected Great
Medicine Man, and then trouble will begin.
He thinks all the United States garrisons
should be doubled.

Senate-NO Vote Taken.
IN the Senate on the 29th the confer
ence report on the tariff bill was presented
and read at length Mr.. Morgan having,
in the course of his remarks, referred to
the reciprocity section of the bill as utterly,
preposterOusly, and ridiculously unconsti-
tutional, Sherman defended the section as
one the principle of which had been recOg-
niZed in other statutes and had been sup
ported by the courts. Mr. Paddock next
addressed the Senate. He said he would
vote against the conference report. He
then proceeded to criticiSe the treat
ment given the beet sugar interest
by the conference committee, and said
it was not pleasant to contemplate,
nor did it particularly incline a Senator

aside informally without action. In the
House of Representatives Mr.. Hen
dersOn of Iowa submitted the conference
report on the general deficiency bill. Mr.
Clements of Georgia called attention to the
differences existing comparatively between
the number and salaries of the employees of
the Senate and the House. On an average
each Senator had three and One-haf en-
plOyes to wait upon him, while less than one
employee was sufficient to attend to the re-
Quirements of q Representative.

The cable dispatches concerning the will
ingness of Germany and Austria to make
concessions regarding the importation of
American meat products are credited at
Washington. Minister Phelps has already
explained the favorable outlook in Ger
many, but it was not known that Austria
was also ready to move. One reason
for tire change of sentiment in the two
German-speaking countries is probably
the knowledge that France was getting
ahead of them. The tariff bill as it will
become law does not seriously discrimi-
nate against French products. Art is not
on the free list, yet the duty is cut down
from 30 to IS per cent, while the increase
on wines and champagne is not great. The
understanding of the trainers of the tariff
bill was that Minister Reid had gotten SO
far in his negotiations that little doubt eX
listed that France would remove it's restric

The Department of State at Washington
has received from the United States Lega-
tion at Pekin, China, report relative to
the recent heavy floods in that country.
The report says that the floods have been
the most serious ever known. 1t is supposed
that an area of three thousand miles and a
population of several millions were affected
by them. Many people have been drowned,
nd tens of thousands are refugees from
their homes. living on charity. One result
of the floods, the report says, may have
far-reaching consequences. Near Lutai,
which is a point on the railroad from
Tongku to Tongshan. the railway embank-
men5 has been destroyed by the people
for several miles. 1t was alleged that the
embankment damned up the water and
flooded the country. Forcible possession
was taken of the embankment. which was
cut in many places, the trains were stopped
and the employees driven away. The Tong
shan colliery is stopped and 5000 men are
thrown out of employment, and the OPERA
tion Of the railroad is, of course, suspended.
This destruction was wanton and unneces-
sary for letting off the water. All these
proceedings indicate anti-ra.lrOad excite
ment, which may result in pOstpOning in
definitely any further railroad enterprise
in China.

about 40 per cent. of the wheat crop has

the movement of wheat has been much
