Joe Choynsl1f Knocks Out Mick Dooley
in Minutes and Ii Seconds.
MELBOURNE, May 26.-The prize fight
which came Off here yesterday between
Joe Choynski of San Francisco and Mick
Dooley, ex-champion of Australia, was
one Of the shortest combats ever recorded
i'll the history of the prize-ring.
The result showed that DooIev was no
match for the San Franciscan. The lat
ter knocked the Sydneyite out in four
minutes and eleven seconds.
From the moment the men entered the
ring Choynskl adopted hustling tactics.
In short time he drove Dooley to the
ropes. When the men faced each other
in the second round it was further dem
onstrated that Choynski was the superior
of Dooiey.
The Australian was outfought and COM
pletely overpowered Choynski kept at
his man necessarily and the terrible
punches he administered completely de-
moralized the clever Australian. He
was covered with blood, and the smash
ing right handlers of the American had
taken all the vim out of him.
Only eleven seconds had expired in the
second round when Choynski, who since
the commencement had been fighting at
terrific pace, landed on Dooley's law
and sent him to the floor. DooIey Law
like one dead, the blood yelling from his
mouth and nose. The American stood
over him and waited for the Australian
to arise, but Dooley was insensible. The

Damaging Testimony Against Phila-
delphia's City Treasurer.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Before the
City Council Committee investigating the
affairs of City Treasurer Bardsley, Ma
tional Bank Examiner Drew testified as
to what he knew regarding the affairs OF
the keystone Bank.
The most surprising testimony vet
given, however, was that of George
Hume, of the firm of Robert Glenden-
ming 81 Co., bankers and brokers. Hume
said Bardsley, from January to Septem-
Der last, was a heavy operator in stocks
through this firm. In that time thew
purchase for him between $500, 900 and
S6OO,0O0 worth of stock of various com
panies. 1t was purchased outright by
Bardsley, and never on margins. Dur
ing December Bardsley closed all his
holdings in these stocks.
Hume was unable, without the books,
to give the amount lost or gained by
Bardsley in the transactions, but as far
as he remembered it was small either
way. Hume's firm borrowed 500. 900
from Bardsley during the financial strin-
geency last fall. paying the prevailing rate

ATLANTA (Ga.), May 26.-The largest
dry goods firm in the South, John Ryan's
Sons of this city, was closed by the Sher-
if to-day. The liabilities are estimated
Sl,000,0O0, with assets probably aggre-
eating 100000. The house is one of the

months ago there were rumors of his be-
ing financially embarrassed, and suit
was brought by Schloss 81 Co.. of New
York, which created stir. Ryan won
the suit, and afterward sded the New
York firm for 100000 damages. That
suit is still pending. After the first suit
was decided in his favor Ryan met a
member of the Schloss firm. and a per-
sonal encounter resulted, in which Ryan
came off best. Ryan claims that the suit
brought by Schioss was one cause lead
ing to his failure, as it induced his cred

The Police sweep Down on the CeleS-
tiaIs for Dealing Fan Tan.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-When China
town was raided last night the CaIifor-
mans in Washington were wildly re-
minded Of home. II is not generally
known, but it is fact that Washington
City itself, the Athens of America, has a
Chinese quarter that exists under the
very shadow of the Capitol" 1t is only
five or six squares from the Capitol
building, south Of Pennsylvania avenue.
In that quarter of town. frequented by
the demi-monde and all kinds OF low peo-
pie, some of the sights are quite as dis
gushing as any to be seen on Dupont
street in San Francisco. There are nearly
100 of them here, according to the police
census.
y Massachusetts Congressman was on
his way down from the Capitol last night,
when the outrageous noise made by
chattering Cinnamon, who were being
hustled into patrol wagons, attracted his
attention, and together with other curl
GUS pedestrians he went over to see the
fun. The CelestialS were unduly excited,
and the whole town was in great up
roar.
The Massachusetts, Congressman was
introduced to the seductive game of fan
tan, and was jokingly invited to shit the
pipe" He exhibited lively interest in
all he saw. There were to be seen dried
ducks and chickens, Goldfish and all the
nauseating imports from China that are
exposed for sale by the Chinese in San
Francisco.
us Chinatown in San Francisco worse
than this ?" asked the member of Con-
gress.
Yes, ten times worse" was the truth
full answer of your correspondent, who
regretted not having half the members of
Congress present. in order to teach them
an object lesson.
The Star tonight devotes column to
scenes in the Chinese quarters at last
nights raid, and strangely enough every
body seems to be greatly interested, as if
the fact of such Chinese dens being
among them was not known before The
Star says a partially written letter was
found in one place. 1t was addressed to
one ofthe lady Sunday-school teachers,
and in the letter the Chinaman was
telling her that there would not be many
boys at Sunday-school next Sunday, but
before stating the reason the place was
raided.
1t would be seen from this that the
Acknowledged celestial works the Sunday
school racket wherever he goes.
Altogether this Chinese raid may have
a rather salutary effect on next winters
legislation in Congress.

CROCKETT, May 26.-Crockett between
Port Costa and Vallejo Junction, was
almost wiped out of existence last night
about $50 o'clock by a disastrous fire. In
@act, the entire business part of the town
s gone, and the loss is between $40, 900
and $4,000. 1t is not known how the fire
originated, but it is believed to be the
work of an incendiary. 1t was dis
covered by J. II. EcllIey in a vacant
house corner LOrena avenue. All efforts

water could be obtained and the residents
could only stand by and see the fire

BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
Lord Salisbury Has at Last Broke
His Long Silence.

His Long Silence.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The HerGJd'S
Washington special says: Lord Sails
bury at last has broken his long silence
in regard to the Behring Sea agreement,
but he has not broken it in way which
affords much relief to the Administra-
tration. He has neither accepted nor re-
jected Blaine's suggestion that closed
season be agreed on, and that the North
American Fur Sealing Company be al
lowed seals enough to compensate them
for their expenses at the seal islands. His
communication does not come in writing,
but is delivered by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote to the President. Sir Julian said
Salisbury was not indifferent to the i'm
portance OF the subject, nor is he seeking
the strong opposition which was devel-
oped all over British North America to a
| closed season.
Protests come, not only from people in
British Columbia, but from those of
Canada. Lord Salisbury is greatly
troubled by the feeling in Canada, which
! he does not wish to afiront, although he
says he would like to reach an amicable
agreement for closed season. He sent
Sir Julian to the President TO make his
position clear, and to show he is not in
tentionally delaying action, but studying
| the question with a view to its solution.
While the President and the Cabinet
are willing to accept the protestatiOns of
Lord Salisbury so far as the circumstances
justify them, they feel it is getting too
late i'll the season to palter. The subject
will be taken up and discussed with con-
siderable warmth at the meeting of the
Cabinet tomorrow. If nothing more
satisfactory is received from Lord Sails
bury by that time, conclusion will
nrOhahlU no reached without bic OF
ance.
NO CONCLUSION REACHED.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The seal fish
cries matter was considered at a Cabinet
meeting to-day at length, but no concIu-
sion was reached. Secretary Foster and
the Assistant Secretary of State will have
q special conference with the President
tomorrow, with a view to determining
the plan Of action. The President fully
appreciates the necessity for prompt
action in the matter, and is doing all in
his power to arrange so that there may be
no further delay in the departure of the
revenue cutters to Behring Sea for the
purpose of protecting the interests of the
United States.
If those vessels start now they would
not reach the fisheries until the middle of
June, or fifteen days after the opening of
the season, and it is understood that
tifty-nine poaching vessels are now in
the vicinity of Behring Sea threatening
the pursuit and slaughter of seals.
The North American Commercial Com
pany's steamer left San Francisco for the
seal islands about week ago, and will
probably arrive there by the end of the
month, when the employees Of the com
pany will proceed at once to take seals,
and continue to do so until the entire
number allowed by law is secured, un-
less some order is received from the Off
Gals at Washington to the contrary.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Friday, Saturday and Saturday matt
nee at the Clunie Opera House we are to
have Thatchers Ministries. We do not
recall San Francisco press notices of any
minstrel troupe that have been so warm
and hearty i'll commentator as those
given Thatcher's company. The reason
is, for one thing, that the manager has
returned to the old Style of ''JumD Jim
Crow" Carolina Janen style of min
strelsy-the style of real life among the
plantation hands after the days work
was done and the ''darkies'' gathered for
evening aIuusements. Out of that reality
sprang the idea Of minstrel performances.
and for twenty-five years no amusement
was more popular. In later days the
original has disappeared, and tinseI,
and slang, nasal singing, sentimental
twaddle and the dude ''darkey''
have usurped the place of the old
time minstrelsy of the days of the
Christys. OF course Thatcher has not
made his entire entertainment return to
the DID, but he he has introduced il to
such an extent as TO make it a delight TO
lovers of genuine plantation minStrelsy.
Thatcher has fine vocalists, plenty of
sentimental singing and enough variety
performance. Among his people are
Raymon Moore, the balladist: Jose.
the tenor; Frillman, the basso, and
Lewis, the baritone, all well known
as first in their lines. There is
also Lew Dockstader, who, with Burt
Shepard and Thatcher, are a trio of first
class, genuine old-time MINISTRIES. Among
his variety performers are Gregory and
Elmar on the triple bar, Coleman, the
eccentric dancer, Cain and Lorens, ath-
letes, and several others, including La
Mondue, u slack-wire walker. The box
office viii open Thursday.

elected the fact that he had gone to st.
Louis after the summons was served on
him. The slipping away of the principal
witness in the first of the bribery cases
called is regarded as strong circumstan-
tial evidence against the accused.
The Grand Jury has found indictments
against McCrystal and Cooney, two of
O'Malley's assistants, for attempting to

The jury is not in pleasant frame of
mind, for after investigating the bribery
for over a week, it has made the discov-
cry that there is no law to punish the
offenders, as the Bribery Act covering the
matter has no penal clause
