John L. sullivan as speechmaker.


The Sullivan engagement at the Bush street,
in "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands, is hold
ing its own against all opposition. Last even
ing the auditorium was crowded with most
respectable people-ladies being in the majority.
At the fall of the curtain on the third act the
redoubtable champion came before the foot
lights, and alluding TO an article in an evening
paper pronounced ii fabrication from begin
ming to end. He did not know Mr. Jackson. the
colored pugilist, only casually, having met him
once in the East He was not intoxicated, as the
article stated; he did not go 10 Jackson's saloon
he had not met Mr. Haas, Mr.. Jacksons part
ner: and he not seeking any disturbance.
He was quietly attending TO his present bus
iness, and he could not understand why he
should be annoyed by persistent newspaper mis-
statements since he had been in this city, which
were made out of whole cloth, as was the article
in question, and against such he felt called
upon 70 defend himself, as they were calculated
to do him injury here and elsewhere. In fact
il was as earnest and neat an of-hand speech as
Dune Harrison might have written for Sullivan
had he been here, and the audience applauded
him TO the echo. All John l. wants is a chance
TO show that he means business, and at his time
of life and with his varied experience that he is
not going 10 throw his chances away.

FIRST DAY OF THE RACES.
Eyes OF All Horsemen Turned to the
Kent Track.

The Kent racing season opens this afternoon.
Work on the grand stand and track was pushed
forward all last night, and will be fully COM
pleted by noon today. The track is III excellent
condition, and large number of prominent
Seattle people will be present to witness the
racing events A number of horse experts have
been drawn to the scene by the fame of the kite
track, which, IL will be well to remember, is
being put to its first practical test today.
The opening day promises to be quite society
event, and 1t is not at all probable that there
will be any dearth of jaunty feminine costumes
in the grand stand. Friends of the local horses
will carry the coiors, OF course, and the hackers
of others viii wish just as hard for the success
of their favorites.
The events of the day are three in number.
Tomorrow four races will be trotted and run.
On each of the following days there will be
three events. The promise for brilliant season
has not diminished since the first announce
ment that the races would happen was made.

It's a reward of $500 for an incura-

The symptoms of catarrh are,

In THE NAME OF CHARITY
BULL FIGHTING REVIVED IN THE
CITY OF MEXICO.
Grand Exhibition of the National
Sport Given for the Benefit of the
Spanish Flood Sufferers-Nine Bulls of
the Celebrated Breed Killed.

Cry OF MEXICO, Oct. 19.-The revival
of bull fighting in the City Of Mexico
yesterday was in the name of charity.
A committee of ladies of this capital,
with Mrs. Diaz, wife of the president, at
its head, organized show for the bene-
fit OF the sufferers from floods in Spain.
1t was one Of the greatest spectacles Of
the Mexican national sport ever wit
messed. 1t is estimated that 12, 900 per
sons were present. Nine bulls of the
celebrated breed were killed, amid the
''bravos" of the spectators. The ami
mails were trained for the occasion, and
many of the matadores had narrow
escapes. President Diaz and party left
the ring during the killing of the eighth
bull. The banderillos stuck into the
bulls were, after the fight, sold by
peddlers at extravagant prices. This
was one of the greatest fights Mexico
has seen for years, and the amount re-
ceived for admission fees is supposed to
reach $4,000.

Terrible Storms and Floods in Western
Ireland Nearly All the Lowlands
Inundated Many Cattle Drowned.
English Valleys Overlooked.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The hurricane which
has prevailed on the west coast of Ire
land for several days past is pronounced
the worst storm In twenty years. The
river Shannon overfowed it's banks and
submerged large areas in its vicinity,
drowning a considerable number of cat
tie and sheep, and destroying several
houses and many barns and other build
ings.
The storms have caused most alb
normal high tide at Sandgate, near
Folkestone, and this, combined with the
hurricane, is destroying the sea
walls. Great alarm is felt. Many
houses situated near the shore
have already been washed over
by the angry waters, and the high road
leading to Hythe and Folkestone is sub
merged and destroyed in many places.
The river Thames, at Windsor, Eaton
and other places is overfowing its banks
into many houses. Similar reports
come from many other places in Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland.

At Maryport, Cumberland, on the

The River Shannon has burst its banks

Fill Uhe Gap Now.
San Francisco. Oct. 19-C. f. Crock

have returned from EIlwood, Santa Bar
bara county, where they went to talk
over the matter of the construction of a
line over the mountains to Santa Mar
garita, to close the gap in the coast di-
vision. This work, Colonel Crocker
said, would cost, including equipment,
$4,000 per mile. He did not think it
would pay interest on the bonds if they
were sold, and yet the work is one
which the company would be glad
to undertake, and may do so
before long. 1--WE will not
begin until we are ready to go at it all
along the line wherever there is heavy
work to be encountered. / hope and
expect large influx of immigration
here, and the selling OFF of large land
holdings at such prices as to permit the

WHY TIMOTHY GOT LEFT.
He Was Extravagant and Disregarde'
His Foster Mothers Feelings.

He Was Extravagant and Disregarded
His Foster Mothers Feelings.
New YORK, Oct. 19.-The Sunday
Press has story from Methuen saying
Mrs. Searles's reason for disinheriting
Timothy Hopkins was because of his
lack of economical habits, and because
OF his disregard OF her feelings. SearIes
is quoted as saying he offered $4,000, 900
from the estate in hope that the veil on
the home life of Mrs. Searles would not
be lifted. He says the whole truth
will come out during the trial, and that
he need not fear that his course of con-
duct will not be fully vindicated. He
says it was the wish of his wife that the
Great Darlington estate should be con-
verted into an educational institution
and that it is his intention to carry out
her wish that such of her fortune should
be devoted to education ard charity.
She made him her confidant, and as her
executor he proposes to carry out her
wishes.
