CHOICE IRISH COMPLIMENTS

Pass Between Dillon and Hea:y at a
sh,reholders' Meeting In Dublin.
DUBLIN, May 1S.-Another stormy meet
ing of the shareholders in the Freeman s
Journal and National Press was held to-day to
decide upon the reorganization of the Board
of Directors. Mr.. Gray, the chairman,
called upon Timothy Healy to withdraw
from the directors table, where he had
taken his seat, and sit among the share
holders. Mr.. Healy shouted in response,
"Don't make an ass of yourself" This pre-
cipitated an uproar of cheers and Kisses.
Mr.. Healy was requested to withdraw his
expression, but he refused to do so.
John Dillon exclaimed that it could not
be expected that Mr.. Healy should with
draw such expressions, for if he did he
would be engaged in making Withdrawals
all day long. Mr. Gray said it was great
mistake to appeal to Mr.. Healy on the
ground of decency. Mr.. Healy declared
that Mr.. Gray was a mere cipher in Mr..
billions hands As soon as Mr. Gray left
the chair, after going through his antics,
they would get another Chairman. Mr.
Gray retorted that he did not intend to
leave the chair until everything was done
legally, and then Mr.. Healy could stew in
his own tat. This remark evoked cheers.
Mr.. GRAY proceeded to accuse Mr. Healy of
''docJoring" the Freemdn's Journals report
of the prior meetings Of the shareholders.
Mr. Healy denied this accusation and
heated interchange of compliments and
eplthets between Messrs. Healy, Dillon and
Sheehy ensued.

PUGILISTIC GOSSIP.
Fred Johnston, the English Pugilist, Arrives
and Pleases the Talent

Fred johnston, the English Pugilist, Arrives
and Pleases the Talent.
NEW YORK, May ls.-[Specidll-Fred john
ston, the English boxer who is to meet
George Dixon before the Coney Island Ath-
letic Club at III pounds, on June Is, reached
this city this afternoon on the Majestic.
Arthur Lumley, the manager of the Coney
Island club, has charge OF the reception of
the stranger. There was band of music
and plenty of refreshments on board of the
tug, TO say nothing of enthusiasm. The
Majestic was met below Quarantine. john
ston struck the experts who looked him
over as a remarkably big man, and likely
one at that He stands 8 feet inches tall
has a strong neck, firmly set jaw, hand
some teeth and good legs, but the thing
that was most commented on was his
breadth across the shoulders. He is wide
enough under the neck for a h0pound man,
and fairly deep-chested. He said he weighed
little over l25 pounds, but his statement was
difficult to accept. He looked as though he
scaled Is pounds more than that He is of
dark complexion and his features suggest
the Hebrew. So dark of skin is he, in fact,
that when he faces Dixon there may be
some trouble to tell which is the darker in
color.
But one objection to his makeup was dis
covered. That concerned his wide shoul-
ders. 1t was thought his great muscular
development in those quarters may make
him a little bound up in movement, and
that he may not be fast enough to land on
quick and clever boy like George Dixon.
Bill Plimmer, "Chappie" Moran and other
English lads who have seen Johnston per-
form are, however, unanimous in the state
ment that Fred is unusually inst and shifty
as well as a great punisher. He has whipped
men 10 and Is pounds heavier than himself,
among them being Stanton Abbott, who is
now matched to fight Austin Gibbons at 1872
pounds. Johnston smiled when asked ii he
had a sure thing over Dixon. "There can be
no sure thing in fighting" he replied, "but
hope to win, of course"

King and Boyle Say They Did Not Elope
With the Cincinnati Girls.
NEW YORK May ls.-ISeecidL 1.-The story
telegraphed from Cincinnati yesterday that
Pitcher "Silver" King and Catcher Jack
Boyle, of the "Giants," had eloped with
Miss Rosa Santman and Miss Kate Totem
bier, of Covington, is strenuously denied by
those players.
81 was never in Covington but once in my
life" said King; 81 know the two young
ladies' however. They came to the depot at
Louisville when We were leaving and said
that they were coming to New York. They
bought their own tickets and came all the
way alone, as far as 1 know. understood
they had friends here. At least think 1
heard them say So"
Boyle was very indignant when ques-
toned about the matter. "It is absolutely
false" said he. "One of the young ladies is
a friend of mine, but have not seen her
since we arrived in New York. 1 have no
wrong to right: neither do 1 know where the
girls are"
Then Mr. Boyle went on in substantiation
of what King had said about the girls COM
ing to the Louisville depot and buying tick
cts for New York.
Manager Powers, of the New York club,
said: al only want co say that If there is any
truth in the reported elopement l know
nothing of it.'

SULLIVAN ALL RIGHT,
He l. Examined by q Doctor and Pro-
nounced In Excellent Condition.


NEW YORK, May 1s-John L. Sullivan un-
derwent for the first time in his life a thor
ough physical examination at the hands of
DR.. George F. Shready, one OF America 8
most eminent physicians, in the latter's res
idence. The result will crafty the cham
pion's thousands of admirers. After look
ing over the massive frame of the pugilistic
champion with a great deal of care and
thoroughness, the examination requiring
eone hour, DR.. Shready said
ain all my life have never seen such a
magnificent specimen of muscular develop
ment, and, indeed. l do not think that an
other such man is living to-day. You are
in perfect health, Mr.. Sullivan. Your heart,
liver, stomach, lungs and other organs are
all performing their work properly. You
are physically sound, and with some of the
supertiuous flesh in the abdominal region
removed, your powers of endurance would
be remarkable"
This was said in the presence of the cham
pion himself. Dan Murphy, his faithful
friend from Boston. and q reporter in DR..
Shready's private office.
The examination was the result OF John
LIS curiosity to know his exact physical con-
dition. Ever since he was matched against
Jim Corbett various alleged authorities
throughout the country have been predict
ing his f1stic downfall on the ground that he
could never be well enough to fight again
with that old-time vim which has marked
all his struggles in the ring.

INDIAN INTERPRETERS BRIBED.
The Oklahoma Scandal to Be Laid Before

The Oklahoma Scandal to Be Laid Before
Congress at an Early Day.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-Colonel J. NJ. Lee,
who was sent to the Indian Territory by
General Miles to investigate the complaints
of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians that
they were being robbed by coterie
of lawyers in the sale of their
lands in the Cherokee Outlet to the
Government, returned to Chicago to-day.
He had lengthy interview with General
Miles, the result of which, it is understood,
will be that the evidence secured by
Colonel Lee will be laid before Congress.
The bribery of interpreters is said to be
the means by which the alleged frauds were
consummated. Swindles aggregating q
large amount in supplies for the Indians,
are also said to have been unearthed by
Colonel Lee, the suspected cul prits being
officials of the Interior Department.
