A VIGOROUS PROTEST
Efforts to Prevent the Hall
 Fitzsimmons Fight.
ACTION OF THE CLERGY
But Notwithstanding the Strong Popular Movement the Prize Fight Wni Probably Come on W thout
 Police Interference.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 20--Some excite ment has besn occasioned in sporting cir cles over the concerted action of the min. isters of the St. Paul churches to prevent, If possible, the Hall Fitzsimmons fight, sched dulei for Wednesday night Early last week they sent member of the Chamber Of Commerce, who Is also a lead CT in the Young Mems Christian Associa- ton, to Mayor Smith with the threat that if the fight was permitted to come of war rants would be sworn out for the arrest not only of the principals and seconds in the event, but also of the police and city ooi. cials guilty of allowing a puglistic contes t to occur unnolested. The Mayor did not appear to be disturbed by the threats, and It was obvious that he did not propose to act in the matter. Gov. Merriam was seen, but he said there was no law under which he could act, the Legislature last winter having fail cd to pass law prevent ing fights
 Apparently the only thing that can be done is to have the pugilists arrested after the fight, and the only penalty for engaging in ring con test in Minnesota is a small fine Finding little encouragement from city and State officials the ministers have set about working up public sentiment. The l Revs. Wm Astor and Robt Christie preached yesterday on "Pugilism" Mahl- on N. Gilbert, Episcopal Bishop of Minue- sota has addressed letter to the press, protesti ngsagainst the fight.
 There is no doubt however, that the fight will como of at 9 o'clock Wednesday evening, accordl ng 10 arrangements The betting wasot1sk all day yesterday and at 3 ?. m. had run down to $io0 10 ss5 in favor Of Fftz simmons.

Currier X Co., was also burned. IL is estimated that the loss on the two blocks destroyed and that of the Currier block (partially burned), together with contents, will reach nearly $500 ,oo0. The destroyed Blake block marked the boundary of the biz fire or 1889 on Union street and at that time received severe scorching. The burned Strout block had been occupied only about four months and was erected on the site Of the Spinner block, destroyed by the big fire. It was one of the largest blocks in the city.

That is q question that will b. decided later on. IL was my intention to retire immediately after President Har- rison's election, but was prevsntei from so doing by circumstances we'll known by my colleagues on the committee That desire to get out of place encumbered with so many duties has never abated, and the time has now como when I fcel at lib crty |, stop out. The coming campaign has the forecast of being an educational one IL twill be conducted with viz by both parties The man who k to manage the preliminary work as chairm an Of the Executive Committee should bs ia posi-. ton now and should henceforth devote his time largely to it's duties.

 Company from all Directions.
 OMAHA, Neb., July 20--S. R. Ho wells affairs, instead of improving under the scrutiny to which they are being sub iected, are gradually becoming worse and more entangled. Mir. Howell's friends are los ing confidence in bis ability to pull through the crisis not only on account of t he indef- mite char acter of the liabilities that were scattered through the West and Southwest by Geo. w. Howell, but because they think there will bs large shrinkage of the lumbermans available assets when the time for general accounting arrives Advices received yesterday showed that creditors are jumping on property where ever they could find 1t. MT. Howell has an amount of lumber piled up awaiting ship ment Property worth many thousands of dollars Is in the hands of the sheriff, while creditors in Nebraska and Kansas are swarming around the yards in such numbers as to suggest the possibility of carrying away every board that is not nailed down. Mir Howell and his legal advisors were seemingly no better in formed about the condition of his affairs yesterday than they were on Thursday, and beyond confirming the vague and un- satisfactory statement that the liabilities will approximate sl, 800, 900, they declined to give out any information. s. k.
