DIXON Is CHAMPION.
The Boston Negro Bests Britain's
Crack Bantam.

LONDON, June 27.-The international
glove fight between George Dixon (cOl-
Ored), the bantamweight champion Of
America. and Nunc Wallace, the ban
tumweight champion of England, took
place at the rooms Of the Pelican club
this evening. The match was for the
bantumweight championship of the
world and a purse of 9500. Wallace re-
tired in the nineteenth round, and
Dixon was declared the victor.
The fight was witnessed by about
1000 persons, among whom were Baron
North and the Earl of Lonsdale. Wal
lace led off in the first round, appearing
to considerable advantage. Intense in
terest was manifested, and he was loudly
cheered by his friends, and received
many signs of announcement. In the
second round the Englishman adopted
ducking manouevers, in which he
touched Dixon's leg. This gave rise to
cries of foul, which, ,however,w not al
lowed by the referee. In the third
ably tagged. and Dixon come to the front
to great advantage. In the succeeding
inning the American forced the fight.
In the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
they fought on even grounds. From
this ND to the tenth it was no great dis
play of pugilistic skill. but in the tenth
round Wallace received knOck-dOwn
blow and blood flowed from him pretty
freely. He came to time, however,
promptly at the call, though his weak
ness was plainly apparent. In each
succeeding round up to the eighteenth
Dixon fought the Englishman all
around the ring. At the next call
Wallace reached his corner, but had
been so badly used up that he was una
BILE to defend himself. He leaned help
lessly OH the ropes, and was obliged to
give up the fight.

Meanwhile there is little apparent
probability of definite action until next

may he accomplished, but there Is ap-
parently little danger of any more to-
day. Mr.. Hay says he has no desire to
shirk any of the responsibilities of his
Office, and that he will bring the actions
himself. He will continue his inveStl-
cations to-day, and probably determine
tonight just whom he will arraign for

Boudinot, of the census bureau, lent
material aid in influencing Gen. Taft to
take the course he did take. The in-
spector has filed a lengthy bill of par
ticulars, it is said, that is considered
very damaging to the probable defend
ants in the promised conspiracy case.
He has inspected the returns and has
made Slight canvass of Minneapolis to
verify the legality of the enumeration
lists. This work revealed to him some
discrepancies. r..
The citizeus' committee will now ask
of the census bureau that certain blanks
returned by Supervisor Davenport be
placed in the hands of a United States
census inspector for yerification. They
will ask that the inspector take these
blanks and make personal canvass up
and down the streets indicated in such
returns and ascertain whether or not
the persons enumerated are bona fide
residents at the numbers given after
their names. If it is demonstrated that
vacant houses, and lots where there are
no houses at all, show residents, a case
of conspiracy will be made out, and it
is claimed that these conditions can be
easily shown.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-FOllOwing
morning business the senate resumed
consideration OF the bill to admit
Wyoming as a state, and Mr.. Morgan
spoke in opposition to it. He referred
to the inattention which had marked
the discussion of the bill yesterday, and
said that either majority of the SEN
ate had come to an understanding that
the bill was to pass notwithstanding OBJ
jectiOnS or arguments, or alse the mat
ter of admitting new states had become
so commonplace that it scarcely at
tracted the attention of senators. He
thought there should be careful atten-
of the people Immediately con-
cerned. but also to the pres
ervation of the just balance
of power in the senate between the diff
ferent geographical sections of the coun-
try. The attention of the chair having
been called to conversation in progress
OIL the floor, Mr.. Morgan said that it did
not disturb him; that he was talking to
the reporters and the country. Mr..
Platt spoke briefly in defense of the
bill, and the question was then taken
on the omnibus bill offered as substi-
tute, and it was rejected by a party
vote, 1S to 20. Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas,
moved an enabling act for Wyoming
alone, which was rejected by vote of
Is to 29. The bill was then passed by a

on the aemndments made to the house

Must Be Investigated.

Northfield Independent.
The evidence already made public Of
the manner in which the Minneapolis
census returns have been padded is of
such character as to demand thor
ough investigation. 1t is an unfortunate
circumstance that the proceedings
against those alleged to- have been
guilty of fraud were not initiated by
some persons other than citizens of St.
Paul, for the jealousy which h as long
been known TO exist between these
rival municipalities prevents the Min
neapolis citizens, whom we cannot, be-
lieve. to be all III the conspiracy. from
demanding a thorough and impartial
Investigation of charges made by st.
Paul people. That. however, cannot
now be helped. The charges have been
made and substantiated by evidence
which any grand jury would not hesi-
tate to send men to trial upon.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June N.-Ex-Senator
Thomas w. Palmer, of Michigan, vas
this morning elected president of the
worlds Columbian exposition. The
nomination was made by Mr.. Martin
dale, Of Indiana, and the mention of his
name was signal for an uproar. There
was not a dissenting voice at the con-
vention, and the gentleman from Michi-
gan was unanimously the selection.
Col. John T. Dickinson, OF Texas, was
elected permanent secretary OF the
commission. The commission then pro-
ceeded with routine business, and at
II o'clock adjourned to meet tomorrow
morning.
He's Live Stock Man Himself.
The fifteen members of the executive
committee of the National Live Stock
association called by appointment this
afternoon upon President Palmer, of
the worlds fair commission. President
Palmer assured the committee that his
heart was with them in their desires re-
garding the live stock exhibit at the
worlds fair, End he congratulated them
OH having taken UP the subject at so
early and OppOrtune time. He prom
lsed that the commission would look
carefully after the live stock interests,
and advised them to present their re-
quests at once, insisting strongly upon
definite amount of space being asked
for and upon il rough estimate being
made. He further advised them to ask
for an even 200 acres. An informal dis
cussion, lasting half an hour, ensued.
A formal petition, embodying the
wishes of the Live Stock association,
is to be presented to the worlds fair
commission tomorrow.

A NIoorhead View.

MOorhead News.
Whether st. Paul has magnified the
case against Minneapolis or not in the
census matter, it is clear to an outside
observer that the enumerators who were
found in the Stevens annex had no
legitimate business there, and that alone
is presumption of guilt. The question
of fraud in the count of the population
of Minneapolis is one in which the peo-
pie of the whole state have a deep in
terest. Minneapolis should have all her
residents counted and that is ALL. The
rest of the state will not submit to be
robbed of its political rights by having
the Minneapolis population fradulently
swollen 10000 or 10000 or any other an
preciable number.

But despite the outward appearance of
harmony, and the prospect as given out
OF successful career, practiced and

CHICAGO, June 27.-The Chicago
freight committee of the Central Traffic

meet the rate of the Wabash on dressed
beef TO the seaboard, reduction from
SO to so cents per 100 pounds, to take
effect July 3. 1t was learned that the
Chicago d Grand Trunk has also filed
notice with the interstate commerce
commission that 30-cent rate would be
adopted next Monday. 1t is believed
that this is as low as the dressed beef
rate will go, and it is understood that
the Graud Trunks contract with the
shippers does not require it to go below
that figure. and insures it the patronage
of the shippers, whether the other roads
make lower rate or not.
