JACKSON VS.. SMITH.
The Australian Fails to Knock
Out Smith.
The Colorado Man Makes a
Good Showing.
A Great Wind and Hail Storm
in Ohio.



CHICAGO, May l9.-Six thousand peo-
pie to night witnessed g rattling match
with four ounce gloves between Peter
jackson, the colored Australian cham
pion, who is to fight John l.. Sullivan,
and Ed. Smith, champion of Colorado.
Much interest was taken in the question
of Smith ability as against Jackson. ow-
ing to the fact that the Colorado man has
been trained by Sullivan's noted helper,
Muldoon, the wrestler, and to the further
fact that Smith recently knocked Mike
Cleary out in one round. Smith made a
decidedly good showing against the big
colored man, standing up five rounds
without suffering a knock out. Smith
appeared timid in the first round and was
foored three times, but IN the succeeding
rounds rallied and though at a dlsadvau.
tage from JacksOn's long reach, landed
repeatedly on Jackson's jaw and wind.
Both men were groggy when the combat
ended. Muldoon offered to back Smith
for s., 900 to fight against any man in the
world, bar Sullivan, McAaliffe and Jack

The Senators Discuss the Silver
Coinage Bill.
Tee House Still Debating on
the Tariff.

WASHINGTON. May l9.-The senate
resumed the consideration of the silver
bill, Senator Dolph on the floor.
Hale, from the committee on appro-
prlations. reported back the annual naval
appropriation bill.
Silver was taken up and Dolph ad-
dressed the senate. He thought interna-
tional bi metalism was desirable. In con
sidering the various plans proposed, he
was satisfied the plan proposed by the
secretary of the treasury was open to less
and to fewer objections than if the pur'
pose was to keep both gold and silver
coin in circulation. He argued
against the free coinage of silver as some
thing that would stop the coinage OF gold,
but remarked that what he said in regard
to free coinage did not. of course, apply
to the free coinage under the international
gold and silver.
At the close OF Dolph's speech, Teller
criticised it and said that it would not do
for that senator or any other enAtor with
JUNCTION to say that he was for double
standard or for silver and then favor
measures which were absolutely destruc'
tive OF money. He did not propose that
the country should be deceived into be
lieving the proposition which came from
the finance committee meant silver at all.
On the contrary it meant a single gold
standard.
Mitchell expressed dissent from the
views presented by his colleague (Doiph)
saying: At the two state conventions
that recently met in Oregon each resolved
unanimously without any hesitation OF
equivaction hat they were in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
believe these conventions were composed
of representative men, irrespective OF
parties or state.

committee on territories to-day heard
Frand Cannon, editor of the Ogden, Utah,
Standard, in opposition to Cullom's bill,
amending the Tucker Edmunds act SO us
to dIsfrauchise Mormons and render them
Ineligible as jurors. Cannon opposed the
bill on the ground that anti Mormon leg
~islation had now gone far enough; that
the situation Of affairs with respect to the
Mormon question was improving and
would continue to Improve. Upon the
present basis nothing but time was needed
to work out a satisfactory settlement Of
all troubles.

The Lower Court Sustained.

WASHINGTON, May l9.-The supreme
court of tie United States today rendered
an opinion of vital interest to the Nor
mon church in the suit of the Church of
Latter Day Saints against the United
States, which comes here on appeal from
the decision OF the supreme our of Utah
in favor of the United States. This court
afirms that the Judgment in the case
grows out of the Edmunds anti polygamy
law, which dissolved the Mormon church
corporation and escheated to the United
States the real estate owned by the
church. The Mormons entered suit to
have the law declared unconstitutional on
the ground that congress by the dissOlu-
ton assumed judicial powers, that the act
of the legislative assembly of Utah incor-
pora'ing the church constituted a contract
which could not be impaired by congress
under its authority to repeal territorial en-
actmeuts; that the doctrine of escheat was
alien to the spirit of free institutions. On
the part of the United States it was con
tended that congress had authority to re
peal all territorial ensc.ments; that the
act incorporating the church was invalid,
as the act to establish the religion was
contrary to the provisions of che constitu-
ton; that the church should be annulled
for abuse of granted rights, as when the
church corporation was dissolved there
was no one to whom to turn over the
property, and it was properly escheated
to the United States.
