White Man.

PROVIDENCE Or. L., Oct. ga great.
crowd assembled at the Gladstone Club TO-
night to witness boxing contest between
cOlored lad, George Dixon, the ban-
tam light weight champion of the

$1,000 a side. Dan Coakley of New York
was referee. Dixon weighed 115 pounds
ard Murphy 114b. Dixon drew blood from
Murphy's face in the first round. After
that the battle was fast and furious
for several rounds, with no partic-
ulGr advantage on either side. In
the tenth round S10O to $50 was
offered on Dixon. He seemed to be playing
a waiting game and landed some hard blows
on Murphy's face and body while dodgiug
returns. In tie twelfth round Dixop began
to get in his famous left-hand stomach
blows, while Murphy, whose left eye was
closed, seemed TO lack strength. The same
thing prevailed in the next two rounds,
Dixon Furnishing Murphy on the stomach
while the white boys arms appeared to be
t1O short to infict damage on the champion.
In the fourteenth round Dixon hit Murphy
four times, while Murphy hit him once.
Blood streamed down Murphy's neck, and
Dixon continued TO pound his stomach amid
Jries OF foul and Kissing. Little was
done from this 10 the end of the round ex-
ond Murphy landed a good blow on Dixon,
but received il return the most terrific blow
yet landed. From this time on Dixon

fct punishment still he pluckily re-
spCnded to the call of time in each

bleeding and exhausted, was reclining
against the ropes too weak to defend HIM

PARIS Tex, Oct. 23.-The message of
Chief Perryman to the Council of the Creek
Nation, now in session at Ocmulgee, makes
mention of the law enacted by Congress by
which the Western tribes are fast allotting
lands preparatory to admission as citi-
zens into the American Republic. He then
adds: Thus the rights, privileges and
authority of the Five Nations are infringed
upon and curtailed at almost every session
of Congress. 1t would hardly be fair to
charge Congress with malice toward the In
diGnS, or wllliul disregard of their interests
The general policy of the Government
toward the Indians is one of humanity and
charity. The fault lies in the ignorance of
our would-b be benefactor as regards The true
condition and needs of the Indians. This
Congress, through its misdirected zeal for
the betterment of the condition of the In
dians. has handicapped our most laudabe
efforts for self-gOvernment and self-preser-
vation. The United States must be con-
stantly informed of our condition and con-
tinually reminded of the sacred treaty obli-
cations she has entered into with us in the
past. 1t is recommended, therefore, that
strong delegation be sent to Washington to
represent our nation during the next session
Of Congress.

Sulcide of a Banker

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Blakely Creighton,
banker of Broadway, was this morning
found dead in his Office. having shot HIM
self during the night. The body was cold
and rigid when found, death having evi-
IDENTIFY occurred some hours before. The
man lay ON sofa with revolver having
empty shell in one of its chambers, at his
side. On the Office table lay several letters.
One letter was addressed to his wife, and
one to his partner, ii. H. Brigham. An open
letter was addressed "To all whom it may
concern" and read as follows: Il have
fought a hard business battle and have
made square fight, but lost. My brain has
given way and now my body must go. Please
break the news gently TO my wife" George
Crosby, the cashier, said: II left him at the
office yesterday afternoon happy, and have
never seen anything in his conduct to indi-
cate that he was low spirited, As far as l
know, his accounts are all right. He had no
financial difficulties, think"
Creighton was the son of the late Commo-
dore Creighton of the United States Navy.
The autopsy developed the fact that death
was not caused by the bullet, but by poison.
A large quantity Of morphine was found in
his stomach Apparently he swallowed SO
much that it produced hemorrhage. 1t was
this that accounts for the presence OF blood
in the suicides mouth, which created the In
preston that he shot himself there.

Three Persons Killed in a Quarrel Over q
Piece Of LAM

ATLANTA (Ga.), Oct. Ex-Governor Cor
don has received an appeal for troops from
the Sheriff of Coffee County, who telegraphs
that negroes were shooting down whites.
The negroes constitute a larg e proportion
of the population of Coffee County, and the
county has been the scene of several race
troubles. Mach territory is covered with
dense pine forests, the working of which for
turpentine employs numbers of both whites
aud blacks. They are very illiterate and
quently leads to conflicts. Douglas, the
county seat, is a small village of the most
primitive sort.
WAY Cross (Ga.), Oct. 23.-The facts re-
garding the trouble in Coffee County are
these: l.. S. Warn leased a lot of land
from the WAY Cross Lumber Company and
commenced working it for turpentine. The
same lot of land YVES sold by Ii. NJ. Hit to
Tom Sears, and the timber leased to f. NJ.
Stokes for turpentine purposes. Ten days
ago Tom Seres ordered Varne's hands off
the land. YARNS men resumed work this
week, he notifying Seres that he
would submit only to a legal pro,
and shot one of YARNS teamsters,
fatally wounding him. Wednesday after
noon Tom Seres his father. Frank Seres,
Bryan McLendou, James Hendricks and
others came to the house Of Robert Knight
(colored), where several of Warns colored
employees were stopping, and commenced
firing into the house. The negroes all ran
turned the fire, killing McLendon and Hen
bricks and badly wOunding Frank Seres.
The militia arrived on the scene last night,
but found everything quiet and returned.
MIR. Warn was absent at the time and had
no knowledge Of the affair until last night

Tossiule to carry out the orders, as he took
all the strong, able men and those of good

Major BartelOt's diaries declare that Stan

cident Bartelot gave his brothers words:
''Afterward, turning to me, Stanley said it

empty threat, and 1t would take a great
deal more than he could say to do that He
punished me afterward by making me

in an irresistible crusade against the whites.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-At a meeting of the

their hostile attitude.
The Shipping Gazette says on the subject:
Should such a desperate remedy be neces-

making out their case. They can show their
business is being ruined by the tyranny of
uniOnism. The prospect of an immense fed
Grafton of every trade remotely connected
with shipping has convinced ship-owners
that something must be done promptly. 1t
