Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
MiNNEAPoLTs, MINI, Feb. 1S.-At
$50 o'clock this morning Ryan and
Needham had fought 70 rounds and the
men were simply walking around each
other, letting fly blow occasionally.
Needham forced the fighting in the 74th
round, but did little damage. He got in
a smash on Ryan's face, and Ryan re-
turned it, almost scoring knock down.
In the 18th round the fighting was
hot and fast, the men doing consider
able mitigating and going at each other
like demons, Ryan securing first blood.
Perfect pandemonium reigned among
the spectators. Suddenly Ryan gave
Needham an awful blow in the neck
and both men got excited, clinching
savagely. Cries of foul were raised and
not allowed. Desperate mitigating fol
lowed in which both men struck any
number of foul blows.
With round rs each man came up for
blood. Ryan landed effectively with his
left, and knocked Needham down. A
clinch and Needham was knocked down
again, Ryan's upper-cut right and left
knocking Needham down repeatedly
and the call of time only saved him
from being knocked out. As it was he
was carried to his corner in a dazed
condition and before time was called his
seconds threw up the sponge.
The fight is universally considered
one Of the greatest ever fought in this
country, fighting being by the rule in
almost every round. Needham made a
pluczy fight, being knocked down re-
peatedly in the last round, coming up,
but only to get down by another vicious
upper-cut.
The exact time Of the fight was five
hours and five minutes. Needham is
badly punished, especially about the
face. Ryan escaped without mark.
The Chicago delegation went wild over
the result of the fight and themselves
hoarse, hugging Ryan again and again
in the ring,

A TERRIBLE WRECK.
A Dummy Jumps the Track---One

Sunday terrible wreck took place on the
Easley dummy line near Hawkins station,
about four miles from Birmingham, Ala.
The train had just passed little curve in
the road just beyond Hawkins station when
that futed old two spot quit the track and
played havoc all along the line.
1t is said that the train was running at a
rapid speed when it left the track After the
engine left the rail, it plowed down the en-
bankment and hauled up In bog on its side,
completely stripped of all riggings and para

rushed on by and two of them rolled off on
one side and ons on the other. Tho trucks

"The plan of half-dozen prominent
Boston people to unite for the purpose of
investigating spiritualism is" thinks the
San Francisco Chronicle, ga good one.
The fact that Edward Everett Hale is a
member Of the company is an assurance
that nothing unable to stand the test of
good common sense will be admitted.
There is much in spiritualism which has
never been explained. The Sybert com
mission several years ago pronounced all
the leading professional experts of
spirituallsm frauds, but it did not deal
with the amateurs, who are certainly
more interesting than the mediums who
make money out of their alleged power
Of summoning spirits. The work of this
Boston committee will be watched with
much interest" ~

Remarkable One.
The Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore,
Md, says that the past week has been one OF
the busiest In industrial advancement the
South has ever known. 1t has been a week
crowded with organization and the projec-
lion Of solid industrial enterprises through
but the whole South, and Of large invest
nents Of outside capital in manufacturers
while comparatively few new land companies
nave been reported.
So numerous have been new enterprises re-
ported that it is difficult to give in brief
summary a comprehensive view of the wide-
spread activity which the full record of the
week shows. Among the leading concerns
reported is 81 ,5GO, 900 company now being
organized in New York to establish cotton
seed oil refneries.
A s15,000,0OO company to build soap works
throughout the South using cotton seed pro-
ducts, and cooperative town company in

1t sounds somewhat strange, comics ses
the New Orleans Times Democrat, to
have the Mormon question transferred to
England-it is one we have ALWAYS be-
lieved SO thoroughly American. It is
true that majority of the Mormon i'm
migrants came from England, but they
have carried on their operations so quietly
and secretly there that the world heard
little about them. 1t seems, however.
that they have at last attracted the at
fention of the people of other denomina
lions, and are being roughly handled in
consequence. Tho Mormons have good
organization in England, have their
churches and congregations there end do
great deal Of missionary work. It is
complained that they teach polygamy
and defiance of the laws of both the
United States and England. They seem !
to have gained in strength and numbers
lately, for in this way only can the pres
ent movement against them be explained.
The agitators who arc leading the at
lack on them have asked the House Of
Commons to interfere and compel "the
Saints" to abandon the teaching Of poly
famous Mormonism in England. Should
hey carry their demand, it will matcri-
lily help this country in dealing with
he Mormon question, as the chief sup
ort OF the church comes from the
swly arrived and generally iguoraN
oEHan Immigrants.

Until recently fifty per cent. of the
immigration to the United States was
Irish, about thirty per cent. German and
twenty per cent. from various European
nations. Now the Irish immigration has
almost ceased, asserts the Philadelphia
Record, and that from Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Russia, Poland, Sweden and
Norway is rapidly increasing. Most of
these immigrants formerly went West,
but now about two thirds of them remain
in the New England and Middle States.

The San Francisco Chronicle feels that
the report Of the Arid Land Committee,
If it is generally promulgated, will do
much to convince the outside world that
all American farming is not unscientific
There is popular European fallacy that
oil that is done in the United States is TO
tickle the virgin soil with pillow in order
to make it produce good crops, but, as
will be learned by those who will take
the trouble to look up the question, a
great deal of intelligent farming, backed
up by considerable investments, has been
done in this country of late years.
