SAN FRANoIsoo. Dec. S.-George Dawson,
the clever young Australian, and Doc"
O'Connell, of Boston, fought before large
audience at the California Athletic club to-
night. Interest in tho Goddard Maher
fight was lessened by the battle here. Both
men reported in good condition. Dawson
was the favorite before entering the ring,
at odds of twenty to eight and a combina-
ton of Dawson and Goddard sold against
UConnell and Maher five to four. OCon-
nell entered the ring amid applause AT 903,
closely followed by Dawson, who received
mn ovation. Time was called at 9;05.
OConneli led FIRST but Dawson got in the
first punch on the Bostonan's wind. Daw-
son closed tho round with right over the
kidneys.
In hte second O'Connell got in good
left on the wind; Dawson gave II light
right and loft near the ropes, but UCon-
nell drove him back with an overland left,
and soon followed with two sounding left
smashes on Dawson's check. Dawson
landed on the head as the round closed. In
the third O'Connell dashed in number of
lefts Dawson landed Il staggering left on
the chin. but O'Connell forced him TO run

TELEGRAPHERs STRIKE.

Those on the Rock Island Quit I'm Large
Numbers.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Chief Ramsay, of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, says the
strike on the Rock Island road ia now on,
and that all telegraphers went out at 10 n.
m. General Manager ST. John, of the
Rock Island road, on the other hand, said
to an Associated press reporter that every
thing was moving as usual, and the tele-
graph business of the road was being con-
Quoted without delay. AS far as he WAS
advised the men had not gone out. Some
of the men might have struck here and
there, but they had not received any ad-
vices to that effect. The great point of in
terest is whether the men will succeed in
obtaining the active cooperation of other
organizations of trainmen.
Notwithstanding the claims of officials of
the Rock Island company that only forty
operators went out. they were to-day en-
deavorlng to obtain 200 operators. Chief
Ramsay declared o-night that if the road
employed non. union men it would simply
force the strike upon other branches of the
roads, as the men wouldn't work with non
union operators.
Reports from division headquarters along
the line are to the effect that most of the
men went out. In many instances theil
places were filled and work WAS going or
with little Interruption.

suppose All Charged Is True, Does That
Acquit the Police.
New YORK, Dec. S.-Rev. DR.. Parkhusst
has issued reply to Superintendent Byrnes
allegations to- o-niGht. He SAWS that for the
sake of the argument he will, for the time,
plead guilty to the charges made by Byrnes.
He asks if his guilt justifies the superin-
tendent of police in violating law by allow
ing gambling houses and houses of ill-fame
to run. DR.. Parkhurst then admits that he
had an obscene picture in his pocket at one
of the trials last spring, by which he in
tended to illustrate to the court and jury
the disgusting revels he saw in certain
bawdy houses but upon considering the
matter he decided not to produce it. Where
he got the picture he does not say. AS to
the shadowing of city officials, he says:
That was done and we'll done. 1t was
done in the exercise of distinct right
which | have, not as president of the So
ciety for the prevention of crime simply.
but in my right as a citizen. We have gone
quite too long without watching our city
officials, and that's part of the difficulty we
are laboring under to-day"
Touching the divorce, he said it had
nothing to do with his onslaught on crime.
He continues by reproducing the depart
ment of police for not taking hold OF the
work commenced by the society of which he
is president and closing all houses of ill
fame.

The Attorney-General,s Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Attorney- General
Miller. in his annual report. reviews the
work done by the department during the
year; calls attention to the growth of busi-
ness therein, especially in the department
of the court of claims. The various classes 8
of claims chiefly occupying its attention is
then statistically set out. Special alton
tion is called to the enormous amount of
southern claims piling up for supplies, etc.,
taken by the army during the war, amount
ing at present to about four hundred mil
lions. He points out that a large proper
tion Of these are without right, being by
persons who were at the time in rebellion,
and suggests that unless congress put some
barrier between the treasury and these
claims there is no telling what amount the
government will be called upon to pay.
The report refers to tie new circuit court of
appeals, and says the number of cases be-
fore the supreme court is decreasing as &
result of it's establishment.

seventh OConEell struck Dawson II blow
that sickened him, and the referee warned
the Bostonian II IL occurred again he you'd
give the fight TO Dawson. O'Connell mp.
parently had a strong Iead while Dawson's
blows lacked steam. OConnell had the
fight his way until tho twelfth round, when
his blows were lacking in force and poorly
timed. while the Australian recovered his
equanimity and fought his usual careful
battle. Ho bore but few traces of the
battle. while the Bostonian's nose and
face were raw and swollen. During tho
thirteenth, fourteenth. fifteenth, sixteenth
| rounds Dawson kept the Bostonian dodg-
ing about the ring to evadc right. O'Con-
nell was working hard. but failed to
accomplish much. Dawson let up several
times when he apparently could have
| finished the fight. 1t was seen the Boston
| ian was ontmatched. and Dawson had the
| fight his own way to the end.
OConnell dropped to the floor continu
ally, and fought and clinched in despern-
ton. In tho twentieth and last round
Dawson worked his opponent into the
ropes, and aa OGonnell bent his lyaad
dropped him fiat on his back with an upper
cut, knocking him out.

All Efforts at Compromise Are Said

Steps Taken to Have the Matter
Up for Trial Once
More.
Three Of the Suspected Train Robbers Re-

dering Their Baby.

BUTTE, Dec. 8.-[speoial. Attorney Sta
pleton, representing the contestants in the
famous Davis will case, appeared in court
to day and gave notice of a motion to have
date fixed for new trial in the case
Last summer when negotiations were pend
ing for compromise settlement of the
case, stipulation WAS filed in court by
which both sides agreed to let the case rest,
and providing that it could only be called
up by one side giving the other ten dayS
notice. That notice was given to-day by
the contestants and the matter will come
up for hearing Saturday. Dec. II. This
move indicates that all attempts to COM
promise have been abandoned and that all
efforts in th:t direction have proven futile.
One of the interested parties states that
most Of the propositions for a compromise
were made by the contestants and rejected
by the proponants. There was fortune
of difference in the nearest propositions
submitted by either side.
