WHAT WAS DONE Is STOCKS.

estinQ feature to-day. The opening was weak IN

In spite Of the favorable conditions attending
speculation the closing was not altogether strong
and the final changes were more often declines
than advances.
II is the popular opinion at the Stock EY-
change that, as stocks did not decline materially
under high rates for money. they were artih-
cially supported and consequently must decline
when money has retuucd 10 It's natural level

instances. The Michigan Central loan, offered
by Mcssrs Vcrnlyc 4 Co. and August Belmont

hour and the Ncw-Jcrsey Central loan was over
subscribed and the awards viii be from ! 10 g.

taken proved that capital was still sccln" en-

made al slightly higher figures, but for the 4 -
per cents concessions were allowed. The closing
quotations were not strong:

The California Boy Anxious to Meet
Boston's Pride.
New YORK, April 2d.-Pugilist Corbett
was interviewed last evening. He said he
had proposition to meet Sullivan in a
four round glove contest near New York
within three weeks, which he would ac-
cept If permission was granted by the
Olympic Club of San Francisco.
He says he does not expect an easy time
OF 1t as he knows Sullivan is different
man than kilrain. He doubts that anv
puSilist can defeat Sullivan with gloves
The articles of agreement are unsigned,
but he understands that he will get favor
able verdict If be manages to stay four
rounds. The police will probably not allow
smaller than three ounce gloves
Corbett wired the club requesting per-
mission to fight Sullivan. He modestly
says he will endeavor to do himself Justice.
but makes no boasts. Sullivan expects to
arrive from Boston tomorrow, when the
match will probably be arranged. The
contest will undoubtedly create great in
terest. Corbett is due back in San Fran
cisco April Goth.
New YORK, April 2d.-Jim Corbett, or
the California Wonder" as he has been
styled since he defeated Kilrain, when
spoken to about the proposed contest with
John L. Sullivan, said: Il am willing to
meet Sullivan in any business office
he may be pleased to name, to arrange
terms for four.round contest with
gloves, within two weeks. This is
the only stipulation, and l must in
sist upon it as my leave of absence
has nearly expired, and it IS imperative that
return to my duties at the Olympic Ath-
letic Club. If Mr.. Sullivan will agree to
= No I. u
be arranged"
Corbett spoke throughout the interview
with modesty-in fact, it was difficult
matter to get him to say a word about the
contest, for fear, as he said, people would
think him boastful.

BLOODLEsS DUEL.
Two Southern Dudes Meet on the FieIs
of Honor.

Two southern Dudes Meet on the Field
WHEELING wv. Va.), April 2d.-There
was duel yesterday morning on the
Wheeling, West Liberty and Bethany
turnpike, three miles from this city, which,
although bloodless, created a great sensa-
ton in social circles.
The principals were William Burt and
Randolph Hicks, two society youths.
While calling on young lady few DAYS
ago Hicks insulted Burt, who read him
lesson in etiquette. Thinking to humiliate
Burt, Hicks sent him a challenge, which
Burt promptly accepted and named swords
as the weapons. This put the Joker IN a
hole, and a mutual friend was called on,
who, after conference with the seconds,
induced them TO accept revolvers.
Howard Simpson, the go.between, took
charge of tine weapons and extracted the
bullets. Hicks was apprised of this, but
Burt was left in ignorance.
While on the way Burt, who had been
esteemed a harmless dude by Hicks and his
friends, handed letters to his mother and
friends TO his seconds, and taking his
place showed himself possessed of all the
nerve necessary.
At the first fire he shot in the air, and
then stood the point blank aim of his op-
ponent, repeating this on the second fire.
The wounded honor of both parties was
then declared satisfied, and a return to the
CITY was made

lowed him up, contiuuing their fire upon
him until he fell dead riddled with bullets.
Clayton and Bolton were arrested and
are now in Jail at Paso del Norte. The
people on both sides of the river are very
indignant, and threats of lynching the
murderers are openly made. Cavitt was

Another Gss Explosion.

WILKEsBARRE, April 2d-By an explo-
sion of gas in No. 4 slope of the mine of
the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nam
ticoke to-day, three men were killed and
four were seriously and two slightly in
jured.
A number of the miners and laborers
were injured by the concussion but their
injuries are not serious enough to pre-

NEW YORK, April 2d.-The Methodist
Episcopal New York East Conference
adopted this afternoon, in Brooklyn, after
discussion, paper drawn up by Rev.
Leonard, Secretary of the Missionary So
ciety, and addressed to the Senate of the
United States, which recited that the New
York East Conference, composed of 30
ministers and over So, 900 members, protest
against the passage of the anti.C Chinese bill
which passed the House March 18th. The
paper characterized the bill as unjust and
fraught with danger to American mission
aries in China. Rev. Mr.. Leonard spoke,
alleging if the bill is adopted the Chinese
would retaliate and drive all our mission
aries out of China. He asserted that the
legislation was the work of politicians who
could not use Cinnamon. Rev. Joseph
Pullman said he had never known a ma
tive Californian who did not object to the
presence of the Cinnamon.
