CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-At series of glove
contests at Battery d tonight, the features
of the evening were two contests, one be-
tween Peter jackson, of Australia, the Pa
cific slope heavyweight champion, and
Jack King, a local middleweight. The
other was between Peter Jackson and John
Dalton, of Philadelphia. The first was
easily won by jackson in the third round,
King giving up. The other contest was
viciously fought, both mon delivering n
number of good blows. In the third round
jackson took advantage of an opening to
give his opponent right and left hande, on
the heart and neck. knocking him down
and out. Con Riordan, California middle
weight and Harry Baker, Michigan mid
dleweight champion. fought a very pretty
four round contest, which resulted in
draw. About 1000 spectators we're present.

Carter Not Overhauled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-[Spscial. The
report that there was objection to the con-
firmation Of Commissioner Carter, and at
tacks upon him in the executive session
Yesterday, is entirely without foundation.
Garter was confirmed aud no word vas said
by anybody. Carter has one or two enemies
here who do not like decisions he has made
and they indnstriously circulate anything
tending to his injury.
Gov. Toole, of Montana, who in Wash
ington, called at the Indian office to-day
and learned that the commissioner had
requested the war department to mako the
arrest of the offenders at Tongue river, and
he has telegraphed the sheriff not to act at
present.

Nebraska Farmers in Politics.

LINCOLN, Neb. l2.-'rhe eleventh annual
meeting of the State Farmers alliance was
held here to-day. Tho meeting is to be
held with closed doors, but it is known an
attempt will be made to pass resolution
endorsing the sub-treasury scheme. The
action Of the state Legislature in replacing
the bounty on beet sugar was endorsed and
a resolution bordering on free trade was
discussed. Much interest is shown in dis
cussing the probable candidates for gov
ernor. Ex-senator Van Wyck is mentioned
as the probable Candidate on the indepen-
dent ticket. The greater part Of the after
noon session was devoted to the annual
address of President Powers. The main
point of interest was his reference to tho
movent early last fall toward 'holding

TO Correct . General Erroneous Impress
aion ~ to the Eject OF tho
Mckinley Law.

WAsHrNGroN. Jan. Il. 1t is probable that
the ways and means committee OF the house
will make one very radical departure from
the past practice Of the committed This
will bs in declining TO afford prolonged
hearings to those various interests likely to
be affected by proposed legislation. The
sense Of the democratic majority is clearly
IN favor Of limiting the work of the com
mittee to the preparation Of less than a
dozen bills, affecting only that number of
articles of Importance. Those interests de-
string hearings have been requested to re-
duce their statements to writing. Dan Nc
keevsr, secretary of the New York associa-
tion Of importers, and Mr.. Worrell mem
Der Of that association. to-day applied to
Chairman Springer for a hearing to correct
what they characterized a general erro-
neous impression in regard to the work
ings of the Mckinley act. These gentle
men stated that there is much larger
falling off in the importations of WOOL
en- goods under the operation of
the Mckinley law than appeared by
the report of imports and exports
furnished by the treasury department.
They Cited the fact that the Mckinley law
provides that oil goods in bond on or prior
TO Dot. |, 1890. could remain in, bond until
Feb. !. 1881, and OH being taken out would
be subject only to duties imposed by the act
OF March 3, 1888. These gentlemen maintain
that the basis of determining the decrease
IN importations of woolen goods under the
Mckinley act was to make statement dat
ing from Feb. l, 1891. to the present time.
That statement. they say, would show q
falling off Of more than 50 per cent. in i'm
ports Of woolen goods. The per cent Of re-
celpts, except MS to sugar and tin plates,
Of customs since the passage Of the McKin-
ley law, should date from Feb. 1, for pur-
poses OF comparison with previous duties.
AT the suggestion of the chai man it was
agreed that the New York association of
importers. or the two gentlemen themselves,
should reduce their statements and COM
parsons to writing for formal presentation
to the whole committee.

Startling Testimony OF the Surgeons OF

VALLEJO, GAL, Jan. 12.--A genuine sensa-
tion developed in the Baltimore's inyesti-
CATION to-day. Surgeons Stitt and White,
of tho Baltimore, after testifying 10 the
wounds of members Of the Baltimore's
crew, declared that the death of Iurnbull
was directly caused by neglect in the hos
Rital, whore he was carried by the police.
The Chilians refused to allow the Balt,-
inore's surgeons to treat their men and de-
clined TO do it themselves, except in very
superficial way. For four days the sur
geons valnly begged Judge of Crimes Fos-
ter to allow them to remove the wounded to
the Baltimore, but not until it became
probable that Turnbull would soon die
would he grant permission. The men we're
taken to the ship. but too late for Turnbul.
BLOOD poisoning set in. and he died five
days later. The surgeons are positive death

ment in the hospital. The Sisters of Char

inability to help the sailors, but had to
obey the orders Of superiors. 1t further
appears that il Riggin had not been shot he

quiet and sober. Two of them told him
the police had ordered them to return to
the ship as there had been some trouble
and more was threatening. He advised
them to 20 aboard and about fifteen did so.
He went to the police station to see whether
he could do anything for any of the Balti-

The officer in charge told him there had

WASHINGTON, jan l2.-Have Harrison and
Quay buried the hatohet? The question is
heard with great frequency at the capitol
and ia the subject of earnest discussion
among the republican senators and repre-
sentatives. There are reasons for believing
that the reply should ba in the affirmative.
The reason for the discussion lies In the
two long consultations which the boss Of
the republican party in Pennsylvania has
had with the president at the White house.
On Thursday lie was coseted with the
president for over an hour and the next
afternoon he was there for a still longer
period. They are the first visits that Quay
