political character from this and that
quarter, asking his advice or opinion,
aud he makes it point to reply frankly in
all cases. He is very much interested in the
subject of party organization, which he
thinks could be made more effective than
ever now, since the people generally seem to
be taking deeper interest in national poll
tics than ever. He is in excellent health
and spirits, and don't think he is keeping
awake at nights about the question Of presi-

Dun's Weekly Review.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-R. G.. Dun's
weekly review says: The improvement
in business continues. It is greater than
before in the west, considerable in the
south, and is clearly perceived even in
the east. Yet the encouragement in
some branches of industry is doubtless
more apparent than before, evidently be-
cause calculations have been made upon
a more rapid and greater increase in
business than has been realized. The
premature expansion in some forms of
production and of trade has invited the
usual corrective and a depression exists
which is so general that it might easily
be misinterpreted.
The iron industry shows the largest
change. The extreme anxiety to sell
pig iron and a financial weakness in
unexpected quarters, produce a present
depression which is in curious contrast
with the Astounding confidence which
prevails regarding the future. Bar mills
find a lax of large orders, plate mills
have a fair business at the lowest price
ever recorded and structural iron is
irregular and also very low. Copper is
depressed by heavy sales at 111ac. for
lake. Tin has gone below 20c. and lead
has sold down to 42c. Wool is somewhat
easier. Reports from other cities are
decidedly moro encouraging than usual,
at the east improvement is not
rapid.

Heavy Struggling.

New YORK, Oct. 31.-A fight with
four-ounce gloves between Peter Maher
the "Irish Wonder" and Jack Fallon,
the "Strong Boy" of Brooklyn, came of
at Niblo's garden this evening. Billy
Madden acted as master of ceremonies
and Inspector Williams in civilian dress
was behind the wings to see that order
was preserved.
First round: Maher made two feints
in quick succession and bounded around
the stage with a colts agility. Fallon
followed him. Maher made a quick turn
and dealt Fallon a Highlander on the
jaw. The Brooklyn man aroused and
landed his right on the chest
of the Hibernian. A clinch followed
during which the Irishman dealt Fallon
a couple of severe blows on the face.
Considerable tame sparring followed, but
toward the end Of the round some good
boxing was witnessed, Maher demon
strating his superiority. The combat
ants were clinched when the allotted
three minutes had expired.
Second Round-Both came up con-
fident. Maher dealt Fallon a savage cut
On the chin and chased him to his cor
ner. Presently they were in the center
of the stage fighting vigorously. Slash
ing and fencing followed for some seconds.
Fallon began to weaken but seeing de-
feat before him he grew savage. He
rushed at Mahr and in his effort to reach
his nose the Irish wonderer dealt Fallon
a terrible right handler on the cheek
which staggered him. Fallon clinched
to save himself and in pushing him off
Mahr landed another blow on his face
knocking him down in a heap.
Jas. Corbett tonight covered the 81 900
deposit with the Herald on behalf of
Peter Mahr, the "Irish Wonder" and ar
rangemants for a meeting will be made
as early as convenient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-A letter from
Valparaiso. written under date of Sept.
10, two weeks subsequent to the down
fall of Balmaceda's government, %recounts
that at that time a feeling of great bit
terness was being, exhibited toward
United States Minister Egan and the
American naval forces. Newspapers
which began publication after the sue
cess OF the congressionalists continued to
reiterate that Minister Egan favored
Balmaceda, but it was also conceded that
he had protected a number of
sional adherents when Balmaceda was in
power. When the conflict closed the
fact that he had afforded protection to
adherents of Balmaceda was urged
against him as showing his sympathy
with the downfallen administration, In
timation that a son of the United States
minister was interested in a railway en-
terprise was also cited as a reason for
opposition to the minister and the claim
was also made that the latter intended
embarklng IN commercial enterprises in
Chili when his term of office expired if
Balmaceda succeeded. 1t was acknowl-
edged that no evidence was given in
proof OF these allegations, but they were
printed and added to the feeling of ami
mostly in the popular mind against the
American embassy. The papers also
made attacks against the American
naval force, and owing to a reiteration
OF the denied statements a distinct feel
ing of hostility was created in the public
mind against all Americans in Chill.
