THE MASS MEETING.
PETER and Powderly Orate to a Big
Audience.

Audience.
CINCINNATI, May 19.-The easy meth
ods of the unconventional delegates of
this conference were finely illustrated
by the opening of the mass meeting set
for 7:30 o'clock tonight. The adver-
tised speakers were Senator PETER and
others. But, at 7:3O, no chair
man or other celebrities were on
hand. The audience began calling for
fayorite speakers. At length Sam
Woods, of Kansas, responded by climb
ing on the stage and asking a fellow
delegate to introduce him. The speak
er began humorous talk, the burden
success of the Alliance men in Kansas.
When at length brass band started
the echoes in the great hall, the house
at once filed up with delegates and the
general public, and cheers went
up as the airs of America"
Dixie" and Yankee Doodle"
were played. The meeting proper
opened with an Alliance song by
a Kansas glee club. For an encore, the
song Good Bye, Old Party, Good Bye"
rose and fell with something of the
cadence of funeral dirge, as the audi
ence joined in the ringing refrain. An
unpleasant hitch was made in the eff
fort TO chose chairman. Gen. Hum
phrey, of Texas, was elected, but was
not present. The acting chairman, Con-
lad Burkhauser, called for another cleo
ton. Judge Dill, of Illinois, was elected,
but he also was absent. Here Capt.
Power ended the difficulty by throwing
the honor upon Mr.. Burkhauser himself.
The orator of the evening, Senator
PETER, of Kansas, moved with dignity
to the front of the stage and amid a
storm of applause began at once his
speech. His voice, with its sonorous
tones and explosive bursts, was used
deliberately and was apparently heard
easily throughout the hall. he began
by saying these people before him were
COntinued ON Eighth Page.

The Great Case to Begin at Butte
To-Day.
Special to the Globe.
BUTTE, Mont, May 19.-The trial of
the great Davis will case will begin in
this city tomorrow. The hotels are
crowded with lawyers, witnesses and
heirs from dozen states in the Union,
and the trial will doubtless prove the
most famous in the history of the courts
of the Northwest. Col. X. G. Ingersoll
and family arrived this evening, Mr..
Ingersoll being at the head of
the array of legal talent en-
gagged for the contestants. The con-
teStantS have asked for a change
of venue to another court on the ground
that Silver Bow county is deeply con-
cerned in the success of the proponents
in the case, as it would keep his i'm
mense fortune of SS,000.000 in Butte.
The petition for change of venue has
been denied, and the trial will proceed.
The work of selecting jury is likely to
consume couple of days. Microscop-
ical experts are in town for both sides,
and will doubtless testify diametrically
opposed to each other. The experts for
the contestants are reported to 6ave said
that in the seven letters of the sigma
ture, "A. j. Davis" there are forty
nine breaks from the lifting of the pen,
perceptible to the microscopist's vision,

Little Betting on the Heavy
weight Contest So Far.

NA1Oio beItlnS on the HcaVys
weight Contest So Far.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-Every
preparation has been made for the bat
tie of the heavyweights, jim Corbett
and Peter Jackson. which will occur in
the gymnasium of the California
Athletic club Thursday evening. Both
men have trained hard and carefully,
and are pronounced in first-class con
dition. Jackson sprained his ankle by
being thrown from a carriage some time
ago. His ankle is still swollen slightly,
and an electric battery is being applied
to the wound, but as Jackson walks
without difficulty he anticipates that
his ankle will give him no trouble on
the night Of the contest. Jackson'S
present weight is given as 1917 pounds
and Corbett's as 1877 pounds. The
men will doubtless enter the
ring close TO these figures.
$4,000, 81 800 of which goes to the loser.
The affair is creating a wonderful de-
gree of interest here, and number of
we'll known sporting men from various
parts of the country are arriving here
daily to witness the contest. No better
criterion Of uncertainties with which the
contest abounds can be found than the
extremely careful manner in which the
sports who usually bet their money on
such affairs are acting. Although it IS
a we'll known fact that large amounts of
money await investment on both men,
wagering up till now has been remark
ably light, and it almost looks as if the
local sports will let the big affair pass
without speculating ON it at all. Even
visiting sports, whose arrival here was
preceded by telegraphic announce
ments that they were going to put
thousands Of dollars on one or the other
man, are feeling their way with extreme
caution, and it is pretty hard to gauge
what they intend daing. The usual odds
up to the present time have been 100 to
20 and 50, with jackson the fayorlte.

SHORT ON POLICE.
Chicago's Council Was NiggardIy
in Appropriations.

CHICAGO, May 19.-It is stated that
the new chief of police, Maj. Nc
Claughry, finds that one of the first
things he must do is to reduce the po-
lice force at least 500 men. This is
necessary because of lack Of funds for
the use of the department. The present
force is nearly 1000 men, and in pTepar-
ing estimates for the ensuing year ex-
Chief Marsh reported that the force was
inadequate for the large territory 10 be
covered, ETC., and in view OF the COM
ing worlds fair, recommended that 10
be increased 500 men. If not more. His
estimate for the year was S3,O9l ,573,
The city council, however, appropriated
only 81, 100000. This spring, owing ia
labor troubles and other matters. Mayof
Cregier, under an emergency clause in
the police ordinance, placed on the
force a number of Substitutes" and
specials" These men were paid from
the regular fund, and it being already
meagre, this drain will have to be met
by reduction OF the force.

which was begun last night, continued

SALTWATER, May 19.-Seldom has
rain been more appreciated by farm

showers which fell this afternoon. One
hour after the rain began falling a per-

the rain to farmers this morning cannot
be estimated; suffice it to say that their
hopes are many times brighter. The
rainfall was not heavy, but continued
throughout the afternoon and evening,
and bids fair to continue during the
night. Although it is not heavy enough
to swell the stage Of water in Lake st.

preciated by lumbermen, and will serve
