that has ever been projected I'M the.
leather trade is now being attempt
ed by combination of English
CAPITALISTS, whose agent on repre-
sentative has been for some time inn

nor loss than the consolidation of
the tanneries of the United States;
into trust OF Syndicate with head
quarters; i'm the east and. local
office Ina each state.
The English syndicate has already
BEEN formed and 81, 100000 of its
capital stock has been subscribed
for The names of its members
have not yet been made public, but
are. stated to- be among the most
nrominent leather merchant in that
country

cate holds out to- the tannerles OF
this country is am entirely new
process of tanning the leather by
means of a liquid that practically
eliminates time from the operation.
Under the old method it takes FROM
forty to fifty days to tan calfskln,
while with the new process 1T can
be accomplished Within ten hours

They Effect Temporary Organization
and Take a Recess. d. Herman
Temporary Chairman.
Before Recess 1t Is Voted to Send
Contesting Delegation to
Chicago.

SYRACUSE, June 1.-The convention
Of protesting Democrats was called to Or
der at 1900 p. M, and John d. Herman
was made temporary chairman. Mr..
Herman. in accepting the honor, said:
"This convention is a halt on the mar.h
to the national Democratic convention at
Chicago of an army of 100000 New York
Democrats and of as many more enlisted
sympathizers. They go to wage war
against their disfranchisement in that
convention Ey leaders who have made un-,
wise and crafty use of party machinery
for personal ends, and who have overrid-
den time-honored customs and usages of
the Democratic party. We claim under
these rules our right to insist at Chicago
that the call for and manipulation of the
February convention was an abuse of
trust and violation of Democratic rights
in this state; that it's proceedings then
misrepresented large element of dis
franchised Democrats 'a1d now mis-
represent an overwhelming sentiment
which since then has grown to vast
proportions throughout the state. The
February convention was mistake
from every standpoint; in some respects it
was crime, indictable at Chicago. No
one before ever attempted to put the party
ina hole by such device as February
convention.
Mr.. Herman then reviewed the triumphs
of Democracy in New York, and con-
tinued:
The disaster of 1855 came because the
people did not at once see as they have
since been learning more and more clearly
to see, the right and wrong of this com
plicated tariff question, and because of the
corrupt use of money poured out by the
carnival of monopolists, trusts and manu-
facturers who were subsequently re-
wartied by the Mckinley tariff. which. as
was inevitable, has already proved to be a
disappointment even to them.
The eelections of 1890 were the first fruits
of the tariff message of 1887. Since then
and especially since the February conven
ton, there has grown up in Lamlets, tow .
counties and states, u universal demand

Jackson and Slavin Battle for the Cham-

LONDON, June 1.-The fight between
Peter jackson and Frank P. Slavin for
the championship Of Australia and
purse Of $4,000 took place at the Ma
ional Sporting club. The result was
. victory for jackson in the tenth
:ound.
Although the members of the club
who had seats reserved subscribed from
t25 to $3.50 each for the privilege and
paid 1925 more for every guest introduce
ion, the hall was crowded to its full ca
2acity and according to social and sport
ing standards a finer audience never
gathered to witness prize fight in this
country. Most of the audience were in
evening dress. R. j. Angle, who ref
creed the Sullivan-Mitchell fight in
France, was selected as the referee: The
principals were then weighed. Slavin
turned the scales at 185 pounds
and jackson at 1872. Slavin was
seconded by Tom Burrows, of London,
Tom Williams and his own brother
Jack. Charley Mitchell, who was Sc
lected by Slavin at first as one Of his
seconds, was not allowed to enter the
club on account Of his ungentlemanly
conduct in the club house one evening
some time ago. Jackson's seconds were
''Parson" Davies, Of Chicago, Joe
Choyinski, of San Francisco. and Harry
Smith, of London. The betting was Z
to Ain Slavii4's favor at first, but was re-
duced to to 4, and eventually II to TO-
Jackson entered the ring first. He
walked with firm step and his bearing
showed marked confidence. Slavin
entered shortly afterward. The men at
once shook lands and took their corners.
Upon the call of time at l1:15 both men
walked brislSly to the center Of the ring.
Jackson seemed to be fully two inches
taller than Slavin. The fight was a
game one throughout, but jackson had
the best Of it during the entire ten
Irounds. Slavin was very badly pun
ished, while jackson escaped unscathed
except for light Craze on the shoulder,
Jackson proved to be a hard hitter and
showed great science and endurance
The fight lasted thirty-nine minutes
and everybody present voted it a gooG
one.
