Ecrfeit Clause.

6niiivan's Racker Don't Like the 81, 500
Forfeit Clause.
New YORK, April S.--Charley John
son, one of John l.. Sullivan's hackers,
Is much perturbed over the report that
Wakely, on behalf of Sullivan, had
signed the articles of agreement sent
out by the Olympic club of New Or
leans, whereby Sullivan's hackers would
forfeit 81, 500 IL he was not in the clubs
ring on Sept next. He said he hardly
thought that Wakely had signed such
articles. Is would be ridiculous to sign
articles whereby they would forfeit
81, 500 if Sullivan was not in the ring at
the time specified. He thought the side
bet of SIC, ,0G0 was asusficient guarantee,
as they lost that if John did not appear.
II, however, Wakely had signed the
articles they would stand. He was GER
tain that the e, 800 was not up yet, at
any rate. He thought there was plenty
OF time between now and September to
sign club articles, az some other club
in the meantime might offer more than
S25, 900 for the fight.

Five Tickets in the Field.

NEW ORLEANS, April s.--The McEn.
cry Democrats have entirely changed
their political position. Tuesday they
decided to accept the decision of the
electoral committee of seven which de-
clared Foster to be the Democratic
gubernatorial nominee. McEnery Dem.
ocrats protested and denounced the de.
cision as robbery, but at the same time
they took down their ticket, leaving the
Democratic field clear for Foster. Such
was the storm of protests against this
action that the McEnery COMMITTEES
have changed front and now. will make
fight to the end and have nominated
McEnery again. This puts FIVE full
state tickets in the field.

BISMARCK, April s. --Bismarck's blind
pig license is no more. The council
which passed the license ordinance was
very unanimously defeated at Mondays
election and met the next night and re-
pealed the Objectionable city ordinance.
During the two months the city license
was in force some $500 revenue was paid
in and about all of it was required to
pay for extra police. while the streets
were full of drunken men and liquor
was sold night and day, Sunday and
even on election day. This state OF
things and the burning of a church by
the whisky men in Mandan is doing
much to hasten the complete enforce
ment of prohibition.
