Terrific Fighting From the outsst-s.aviu the
Best Man

LONDON, Sept. 25.-When asked last night
TO account for his defeat McAuliffe an
swered, shaking his head sadly, Il can't ac-
count for it at all. except that Slayin was
smart enough to put me to sleep. l have
been fairly beaten, and there's an end of it
ALL"
"I'll tell you how it happened" spoke up
Billy Madden. THE fight was a terrific one
from the very outset. Both men went in
for slugging for all they We're worth, and
either man was liable to be knocked out at
any moment, il one of tho Sc terrible blows
happened to strike the right place. That,
unfortunately, is what happened to my man.
If he had avoided Slayin's blow on the jaw,
it is quite possible he himself would have
knocked Slavin out the next moment. In
any case it is inconceivable that such terrific
fighting could lave lasted more than very
few rounds" Madden thinks if McAuliffe
had fought in the second as he did in the
first round he would have knocked Slavin
out.
Richard K. Fox said: "There is no doubt
Slavin is the best man."
Richard K. Fox says he is ready to back
Sullivan to the amount of $4,000 if he will
fight Slavin after Madden has trained hun
for it. Madden says that after four rounds
Sullivan would leave nothing of Slavin.
Lord LoBsdale is ready to put up money to
bring jackson over TO meet Slavn.
TIE Sportsman says McAulffe's arms
were soft and habby and he appeared light
below the knee, just where he required sup
port. With fully two and half stone to
get off he was at a great disadvantage in
training, which weakened him considerably,
and which in some measure accounts for his
Collapse. Our opinion is that McAulffe is
too big ever to aspire as pugilist.
1t is reported that warrants have been
issued for the apprehension of Slavin and
McAuliffe.
New YORK, Sept. 2S - Sullivan looks
upon FOx's proposition as bluff, and says
he will have nothing to do with Fox or
Madden under any circumstances.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Nearly Three Quarters Of a Million Gone Up
in Smoke.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The eAngo-American
Packing Company's establishment at the
Stock-yardS was damaged by fire early this
morning to the extent of S650,000 The fire
was one Of the worst the department ever
had to deal with. An alarm was turned in
just before O'Clock, when flames were seen
in the packing-room. When the first engines
arrived this room was a mass of flames. The
water had but little effect on the grease
soaked floors, and the fire soon reached
room where thirty-two tanks of lard were
located. These exploded one after another,
and the melted lard added fresh fuel to the
flames. The heat was so great that the fire.
men were forced back and compelled to work
from distance.
BURNED LIKE OIL.
The flames then spread to the cooling
room, where the carcaSSes of nearly 1OO0 hogS
were stored. They burned like oil. Water
seemed useless. and the twenty engine COM
panies at work made little headway. More
engines were summoned. buttwo hours after
the fire started the roof fell in, and the
flames seemed 10 spread more rapidly than
ever. A hundred streams OF water were be-
ing poured on the fire, but appeared TO have
no effect. About this time the flames reached
a lot of saltpeter, and the fumes from this
stifled the tiremen, overcoming several OF
them. The Fire MaTShals directed all the
efforts of their men to preventing the
lean plant. Within q short distance of the
establishment are several other large pack
ing houses. and for time it was feared that
the flames would communicate to them.
The firemen succeeded, however, in control
ling it.
BURNING PORK.
At 6 o'clock this mornig it was seen to be
impossible to extinguish the burning pork,
and water was thrown on it to keep the fire
down as much as possible. 1t will have TO
burn out and it will probably be day or
two before il will be entirely extinguished.
The Fire Department succeeded in saving the
other portion of the Anglo-American plant
from serious damage. The loss is entirely
covered by insurance. The company that
has been conducting the business is CON-
posed of Englishmen. Recently, however,
new company was formed known as tue

SEATTLE, Sept 2S.-Fire broke out at $50
o'clock tonight in the outward end of the
Harrington & Smiths warehouse, in a pier
900 feet long, between the foot of Yester

who saw the flames bursting through
the roof Immediately over where 100
tons of hay were stored. The
alarm brought out the entire fire
department. but before it arrived 200 feet of
the wharf and the one adjoining were in
flames. Hard work by the department ex-
tinguished the flames, after half an hours
time. Harrington & Smith lost 100 tons of
hay, 400 barrels of lime and 400 barrels of
cement. Their loss is estimated at $1,000 on
stock and $4,000 on the wharf. The con-
tents were fully insured, but there was no
insurance on the wharf. Hatfeld's loss is
about $4,000 on stock, lime. cement and hay,
which was insured. The wharf was owned
by Ed l.. Terry, whose loss is 5000; insur-
ance, $4,000. The fire is supposed to have
been started by a spark from the pipe of a
vagrant sleeping in Harrington & Smiths
warehouse.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS.
Increased Activity in Berlin-New Journals
to Be Started.

to BE Started.
New YORK, Sept. 2S.-A Suns Berlin dis
patch says: The anti-Socialist law will ex-
pire on Wednesday next, and there is great
increase in activity in the Socialist camp.
Several new journals are to be started to
spread red-light Socialist doctrines among
the laboring classes. In many cases these
newspapers will take the titles of journals
suppressed years ago in the first fury of
Bismarckian oppression. The split In
the Socialist party is far from healed. A
proof of this is supplied by the attitude of
the more rabid leaders on the question of
female workers in factories. The advanced
parties, who are called Freshmen" in
contrast to the older and more conservative
Volmar, have decided not to support by
resolution at the Congress in Halle any
changes in the present condition of female
labor.
During his visit at "ohnstock the Emperor
found time to issue cree ab0lishing night
ment,. This called forth proc, nation
from the younger branch t''Es cialists
declaring against the abe Of female
labor in any shape or form. Women once
banished from The factories would again be
domesticated drudges and cease to be Social
lists. There must, therefore, be an end to
the agitation for the exclusion of women
from any work and for their remuneration at
the same rates as men.
Christianson, Wesenack, Grothe, Kessler
and Reissans, who were sentenced to ban
ishment, are shortly expected to return to
Berlin from America. 1t is now definitely
settled that General Verdy du Vernois will
retire from the office of Minister of War in
October in consequence of his biunder in

employed in the Lacon Wo len Mills, has
been courting M1ry Siefert young girl,
who, with her father, worked in the same

threaten, several days ago, to kill them and
himself unless they gave up the idea of mar

married Saturday night, and this morning
Siefert sent for Baxter, saying he wished to
apologize for the language used and become
TecOnciled. Baxter went, and had pleas
