MUNICH, June 27.-Prinoe and Princess
Bismarck and party started for Kissin-
gen yesterday. A large crowd was at the
railway station and heartily cheered the
prince and sang patriotic songs. The
locomotive was gaily decorated with
flowers. At all the stations along the
route bouquets were presented to the ex-
chancellor. The party arrived at Kissin-
gen last evening and were given an en-
thusiastic reception. The route to the
baths was lined with cheering crowds.
In an interview published in the Num-
ich Zeitung, Prince Bismarck said that
his intercourse four years with the Aus

solicit an audience from Emperor Francis

At the outset the feeling was favorable
to granting his request, but 1t suddenly
changed, doubtless owing to strong Ber-
lin pressure. The Prince received ver-
bal answer that the audience which ho
solicited as soldier and an admirer OF
Emperor Francis Joseph could not be

NEW YORK, June 27.-The much talked
of international battle between George

Few contents of fistic skill and endur.
ance have evoked moro genuine interest
among admirers of the manly art here.
abouts than the meeting of the two
clever feather weight puRilists. This 10
due probably to the fact that this will be
the first championship glove contest
fought near the metropolis for many
years, and to the sterling boxing abilities
Of the principals.
Dixon and johnson have demonstrated
In many hard fought encounters that
they are the two best men ut their weight
in the world, having defeated the cracks
Of Englan and America. The men will
decide the question as to who is the peer
OF the feather weight class. 1t will be Q
case Of Greek meeting Greek, and hard
tug-of- war will be the result.
Nearly all Of the American sporting
men are backing Dixon heavily,
30 confident are they that the dusky lad,
who has never yet tasted the bitterness OF
defeat will best the representative OF
England. Dixon, they figure, beat Nuuc
Wallace, whom the English thought was
invicible, and they feel that tho colored
lad will lower the colors Of johnson, the
present idol of his countrymcn.
II Dixon does not win 1t will not be for
the lack OF training, for he has trained
hard and well. Until last Thursday, when
he went to Coney Island. he trained in
Boston. Those who saw him then knew
by glance Of his brilliant eyes, quick
movements, and healthy color that he
had been taking the best care Of himself.
Dixon says that he is down to weight and
in a better condition than he ever was in
his life, and II defeated he will have no
excuse to offer.
