his trainer, gave an athletic exhibition at the
Rink opera house last night and had a good
audience. Those who could not appreciate

an organization Of no mean ability.
The first competitors for tistic honors were
two local amateurs. After n few more like
events came the sparring match between
DAILY and Gallagher. Never before has
Chadron had an opportunity of witnessing
such boxing and it, is safe TO say that if n
match is arranged between DAILY and Eddy

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 4.-[Special Telegram
to Tn BEE. Frank z. Slavin and Charles
Mitchell, the pugilists, are here. Speaking
of the attempts made to get on Il match with
John l.. Sullivan and the Withdrawal of
Pease, his London hacker, Slavin said:
"Pease declined to put up his money in
America because the Sullivan party insisted
on unfair conditions. In the first place they
want the fight TO come of, if at all, next
November, and Mr.. Pease does not
want his money tied up that
way in tho hands of strangers.
for ten months. Besides, they make the
match conditional on my defeating jackson
when we meet May 30 in London, Further
they want to name the fighting place and
everything else, and yet leave tina. matter so
wide open that they can back out of it at the
last moment if they feel like It. $40

"Wel!, to tell tho GODS truth, I think SullI-
van would be an easier mark for me than
Jackson, and | expect 10 lick Jackson very
easily. | would prefer TO have met Sullivan
several years ago. 1t would have been mucn
more to my credit TO whip him then than
now, when his constitution is broken down
and he IS not as good Il mar as he was. From
what / have read OF Sullivan's performances
l have no reason TO fear him. l beat Kilrain
in a much shorter time than it took Sulll-
van to do it. McAuliffe was only n
mark for me-. Sullivan is a good three or
four round fighter, but that Is all. Unless
he can settle his man in three or four rounds
he has no chance, In all his long fights moth
ing was done except IN the earlier rounds. l
can night longer than -four rounds, and If /
meet Sullivan he will have to fight as he
never fought before.
Neither DO We, Paddy.
II do not know why Sullivan desires to
evade "a match with me, but THAT he does SO
is plain. After my meeting with Kilrain we
waited around New York for some time. in
the hope that johnson and Wakely would
put up a forfeit for a match. They did not
do 1t till the very day we sailed on the
Aurania for England, when they put up
$1,000, knowing we would not be there TO
cover it.
''My match with Jackson to be fought in
London, MAY 80, is for $40, 900, and is TO be
twenty rounds. II won't last anything like
that long. jackson is a very clever boxer,
but no Is no fighter. | expect the
match with Sullivan will be made
and articles signed within a week.

essary | can back myself. am determined
to drive Sullivan into making n match with
me or else say why he refuses"

THE r. BUREIU

TUE BEE BUREAU OF CLAIMS in Washing
ton has done Il good work for the residents OF
this section in attending to tho claims arising
undor the Indian deprodations act. 1t has
saved those who have taken advantage OF its
offer from the unconscionable charges of the
regular claim agents, aud has benefited the
others by forcing the agents to demand only
moderate fees in order TO get business. The
long delay over the passage OF the act had
given the claim agents time to make con-
tracts that would give Them the lions share
of the appropriation. Many OF the claimant
had been induced to sign contracts guarantee
ng the agent from one-third to over 80 per
cent of the claims in case they were allowed.
The depredations act annulled these extor-
tionate contracts and set the limit of agents
fees at Is per cent, to be increased in certain
cases to ~ per cent on the order of the court
Ct claims.
But so many complaints were made of the
action of the agents, ana so many inquiries
for a reliable agent were sent to this Office,
that it was decided to establish a bureau
under the direct charge of TIE BEE to pro-
oct It's Subscribers and give them the beuo. 4
fits Of the law at the lowest possible charges. I

to remember, however, thar the time within

time they are forever oarred. Moreover tho

place their claims before the proper author

The contracts maize before the passage Of
the act have, as stated, been annulled by con-
gress. 1t is therefore necessary for claim
ants to make new contracts or arrangements
with their agents, aud they are left free TO
engage now agents If they ure not satisfied
with those they had engaged before. This
will enable them to make much more favor

while the passage of the act was still in
doubt. =
