BEFORE ETHE BATTLE.


New ORLEANS, Sept. THE carnival of
pugilism in this city ended with the battle
of the giants tonight. The closing day of
this festival of bruisers opened bright,
clear and reasonably cool. Pending their
exercises, which came later in the fore
noon, it may be said that both Sullivan
aud Corbett aroused TO their battle day in
shape said to be satisfactory to their
trainers and hackers The dogged and
never-whipped Sullivan could not imagine
the possible contingency of his own defeat.
Some who were here said this was over
confidence, and, with an air Of extreme
wisdom, they tipped their hat brims for
ward upon their several noses, and re-
marked that ''over-confidence is danger
ous." Then the Sullivan oracles assumed
disdainful wrinkles about the mouth and
nose and responded, ''That's all right. {"
On the Corbett side of the fence, there
was apparently equal confidence and an
entire absence of nervous apprehension.
Corbett expected to win. and that was a
large factor of the battle in his favor.
Sullivan slept soundly throughout the
night before the battle, and at a comfort
able hour this morning breRkfasted in his
room upon steak which was in keeping
with the mans size. During the morning
it WAS said that Charlie johnson, one of
Sullivan's hackers, and the champion
lightweight, Jack McAuliffe, would Sec
ond Sullivan. At 10 O'Clock Sullivan and
Casey went around to the gymnastic club
and there Sullivan took his final exercises
Then came the plunge bath. Sulllvan's
little nephew, Johnnie Lannon, a lad of 10
years, OF light build, bad gone along to
have bath. He hesitated to go in and

Come here, tell you, | want to duck
you," commanded the fighter, grinning
amusedly, and the boy, as much through
dread confidence, obeyed. The great
giant lifted the boy at arms length and
Ienderly lowered him into the water. 1t
was a picture of power and weak ness con-
trasted. AS the lad went down in the
water he caught his breath and pleaded to
get out.
You will get bigger some day, ;" said the
champion as ne turned away for another
plunge.
Afterwards he went to the rubbing room,
where stands scale. Standing on this, in
his woolen knee breeches, Sullivan was
weighed. Phil Casey was conversing at
the moment at the other end of the room.
Whats the weight, CaseyF" inquired
the fighter.
John, what do you weigh now," shout
ed casey.
What do weigh?" repeated Sullivan.

Yes, what's the weight ?" repeated
Casey.

Sullivan.
"Oh, no, l know you don't mean that -

Yes, do. They say that weigh 240.

DIXON AND SkELLY.

Skelly did not tarry long in the ring last

Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's manager, had
nothing but words of praise for the treat
ment he had received, and was in an ex-
cellent humor, because he had been warn
ed not to come souVh on account of race
prejudice. He found better treatment than

Skelly was clearly overmatched, and
that is all there is to say Of the fight.

RAILWAY NOTES.

CHICAGO, Sept. THE Transcoptinental

The Canadian Pacific caused sensation
in railroad circles today when it gave mo-
tice of its intention to Withdraw from the
organization, taking effect January l. A
quarrel with the Southern Pacific over
rates was the cause of the withdrawal.
One full day has been consumed by the
vice president and general manager OF the
Missouri river lines in the consideration of
west. bound rates. No action was taken
today, und the matter comes up again to-
morrow.
CHICAGO, Sept. Notwithstanding the
recent Investigations instituted by the

Last week the NickeLPlate carried over .

if any exist, are carefully covered up, but
there seems to be no doubt in the minds OF
interested parties that rates are being
tampered with to an extent that has sell
dom been equaled.
A traffic manager says that he had reas-
on to believe that certain lipes were pay
ing commissions TO the amount of l21a per
cent. This he says is undoubtedly one of
the methods practiced by the lines that
are absorbing more than their share o. the
traffic. As yet no steps have been taken
by the conservative roads to put a stop to
these practices. but they are beginning to
exhibit signs of impatience, and some Of
them may be expected to act before many

Among the most wonderful discoveries
of recent times is the effect of various
vegetable products possessing digestive
properties Of an active character. Tha
digestive property of the pawpaw has
long been known aud utilized. Mora
recently it has been asoertaincd that
the juice OF the pineapple contains 4
very important digestive property,
which is capable of digesting slbumerf
and allied substances, not only in acid,
but in nutritive alkali media, which
gives it the combined properties Of the
gastric juice and pancreatic Juice. II is
quite possible that this excellent fruit
may be found a valuable aid to diges-

NEW YORK SURPRISED.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE news that
Corbett had defeated Sullivan and was
now the champion heavyweight pugilist
of the world was received in this city with
something like astonishment. The Cor

meanor was in strange contrast
with that of the followers of
the Boston boy, The great majority could
not believe that Sullivan had at last met
his match. They fingered around the bull

mistake, but when it was definitely known

STRIP CAIIlE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. An order has
been received at the war department to-
day from President Harrison, to the effect
Cherokee strip be continued until COM
pleted. This is In response to petitions
from various cattle interests requesting
that the order to have all cattle removed
from the strip be rescinded. The order
states that no one is entitled to grazing
privileges in the strip, and all persons
found there with cattle interests are IN

A report from General Miles announces
progress in the work of clearing the strip
of cattle 1t is the first report that has
been received from him since he
received the order. The general
tlemen wh0 claiming grazing privileges

dent desire to retard the work, but very
few delays have been experienced. This
work is getting along nicely, and will be
COMPLETED in ten days or two weeks.
Possibly two-thirds of the cattle have been
removed. All possible care will be taken
to clear the strip of both men and cattle.
Senator Dawes, chairman of the senate
committee on Indian affairs, wired Com
missioner Morgan. yesterday that the SEN
ate committee would meet at Chicago on
the 18th inst. for the purpose of visiting all
the Indian tribes in the Mississippi valley.
The most of the work of the committee as
assigned by the senate is to look after the
condition of the Indians in the territory.
The Cherokee strip treaty will be matter
of special inquiry, as the committee is re-
quested TO inquire into various features.
The strip question is one of the topics as
signed.

they were 10 to 4, and yet considerable
money was going on the champion. a
bet was then posted that sullivan would
win in fifteen rounds That bet was still
on the board at noon. Nine-tenths OF the
New Workers were staunch adherents oil
Sullivan, and they were backing their
opinions to their bottom dollar. Steve
Brodie placed S.. 600 on Sullivan, William
Brady, Corbett's manager, taking the
short end. Charlie Johnson, Jack Nc
Auliffe and hundreds of others were anXl-
Gus to get a chance at the Corbett money
This was a trife more than Brady had
bargained for and he vanished.

THE CHICAGO SPORTS,

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-The interest shown in
the fight here was intense. The streets ia
front of the bulletin boards were practi-
cally impossible for street cars, and it was
with difficulty that pedestrians could
make their way through the crowd.
Much Chicago money was on Corbett, and
all of it at good odds, and as the bulletins
began to come showing that Sullivan was
getting the worst of the fray the delight
of the Corbett sympathisers knew no
bounds. When the result was announced
they simply went wild. The excitement
surpassed that shown at any event since
the national election.
