Pat sheedy Gives Him Some Hints and
Charges that the Champion Bet Against

New YoRK, Jan, 25.-Pst sheedy was
not one whit disturbed when shown
pugillst Jim Corbett's somewhat caua-
tic reply to his recent proRupciamento
upon the methods Of modern fighters
and iakirs, In nm interview with re-
porter to-day no thus joins issue with
the California puglllst;
"As champion he cannot excapt his
adYersaries, Jackson, Goddard, Mitch
ell, or any other pugilist OF first class
standing, who posts challenge accom-
panied by q substantial forfeit for .
battle within reasonable period from
the date OF the champions last conflict
is entitled TO consideration. The cham
pion can't call his battles, " said sheedy'
"Corbett also seems angered because
deprecate the practice at present pre-
vailing Of offering fortunes TO ppgilists
to battle for. He seems TO think that
fighters arc entitled to purses Of $4,000,

he now possesses, and he cast an anchor

demand for coin toputup for finger

his endeavor to defeat the bankruptcy
bill by Mr.. Pierce, OF Tennessee, who
supplemented his every fllibustering
motion with another which was calcu'
lated to prevent action, and the tilibus,
teriug continued, "Another wasted
day" was the comment OF the Republi.
cans and their comments were echoed
by majority Of the Democrats. But
the few Democrats opposed to the
bankruptcy measure held firm and
though adjourned without action, thus
exhauIting the two days assigned to the
judiciary committee and the bankruptcy
bill.
Filibustering began eaFlyin the house,
Mr., Kilgore demanding the reading OF
the journal in full, His object was to
prevent consideration OF the bank
fuptcy bill,
Mr.. Lockwood DAm,, N. Y. called up
senate joint resolution directing the
secretary Of war to investigate the sub
jeet OF raft towing on the great lakes.
This was another opportunity for Mr.,
Kilgore to pursue his filibuatering tao
tics and he ayailed himself Of it
After a half an hour consumed In
votes by tellers, Mr. Lockwood's bill
was passed,
Motions were made by Mr.. Kilgore,
supplemented by Mr.. Pierce, TO ad-
iourn, but were rejected.
Mr., Reed, (Rep. OF Maine,) in his dry
manner, suggested that the house should
recognize that public business was in
the hands OF a minority, Since tho
house could not transact public bust-
ness, why not lot 1t adjourn and permit
members to 20 about their own busi-
nessp
Mr.. ]. D, Taylor, (Rep, OF ohio,) made
a point Of order that the proceedings
now in progress were derogatory OF the
dignity OF the body and therefore not
permissible. This kind OF conduct was
notin keeping with the dignity OF this
house or any other house.
III you said any other house" aug-
gested Mr.. Reed, lit would be rlghted,
but" drawllngly, mot this house"
There was not, continued MIR. Taylor,
town meeting In New England, the
home OF tho present occupant OF the
chair (Mr. 0'Neill, OF Mass.), where
there would be permitted such absurd
and even disgraceful proceedings as the
house was witnessing to-day. There
were but few weeks OF the session re-
naming, and there was tremendous
calendar. Yet one man who lived in
Texas could prohibit all business, The
very Indians land here Mr.. Taylor
pointed TO Chief Wolff In the gallery

from Ohio insulting his constituents.

Mr.. Boutellc (Republican, Maine)
sarcastically inquired whether the
position in whichthe house now found
itself was not the result Of the deiiber-

itself Of power to control its own busi-
ness. laughter
Mr.. Oates motion was agreed to and
the house adiourned.

THE WHITE FEATHER.

AT the last moment, when the goal
of success was so near at hand, the
silver Democrats in the Senate showed
the white feather, and Cleveland,
Sherman q Co., who constitute the
real Administration of the United
States, heaves a sigh of intense sat
isfcation.
1t was not gradual giving up of
the ship, but sudden and complete
flop, and one which sounds the death
knell of the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman Act; the clause which
was the forlorn hope of silver.
But crying over spilled milk is a
waste of time and tears. In the long
run 1T will be the best thing that
could have happened; when the finan-
cial distress of the country is aug
mented, and increased, as it soon
will be, it will open the eyes of the
thinking voters Of the country to the
fact that the silver purchase law was
not the cause of the monetary de
preston, aud when the next Presi-
dental election comes around, there
will be a political upheaval which
will land Populist President as the
executive head of what will then be
the greatest nation of the earth
Let Cleveland and his mlnions
keep up their work; they are simply
engaged in manufacturing a boom
erang which is bound 10 return to
them with force calculated to upset
the Goldbug parties, foot, horse and
dragon.

In Case Kansas Mine Owners Import
: Non-Union Miners.
NEW YORK, July 19.--The Times
Topeka, Kan, special says: Governor
Lewelling has declared that if the coal
operators attempted to use non-union
labor there would be trouble and pos
sibly bloodshed. He is endeavoring to
secure arbitration, and in the mean
time he is encouraging the miners to
hold out. He sent his secretary to the
Leavenworth mines and he induced
those who had gone to work to come
out again. He has promised aid to the
miners. Alliance officers appealed
to the state Alliance for food
and succeeded in getting one
carload, but now as coal has
doubled in price to consumers, owing to
non-production, and such threshers as
are working have been compelled to in
crease their prices, the Alliance is grow
ing impatient, especially as the men,
bers are asked to tax themselves twice.
In the mean time orders have gone
from Topeka to the strikers to hold out
and oppose any foreign labor brought
into the state. Trouble is anticipated,
as one company has erected stockades
and has engaged 1,0UO negroes from
Alabama, who are now on the way
here. The mines are guarded by armed
men, excepting the Leavenworth mines,
which have permanently closed.

Report-It Would Be an Act of

SEATTLE. Wash, July 10. - The
steamer City of Topeka, from Alaska,
brought the following advices, which
finally settle the mystery concerning
the steamer Alexandria, which was
fitted out in San Francisco some time
ago, ostensiply for fishing cruise.
The Alexandria, under command of
Captain Mclean, sailed from San
Francisco for Honolulu last April and
later left Honolulu at night. On
June IS the Alexandria was in
tercepted in Behring sea by the United
States steamer Mohican. The Mohican
ordered the Alexandria to lay to, but
instead of doing so the Alexandria in
creased her speed and attempted to
escape. The Mohican pursued her and
fired two blank shots across her bow as
a signal for her to heave to- In supreme
disregard of the order of the Alexandria
steamed faster, and when the Mohican
fired another blank cartridge, the Alex
andria turned her six-pounder on her
pursuer and sent shell
Crashing Through the Sides
Of the warship and into her gunroom.
The ball played havoc with the ships
machinery and completely disabled the
Mohican. At this juncture dense fog
arose and the Alexandria made her es-
cape, while the Mohican had to anchor
six hours for repairs.
Further advices have been received
here to the effect that lieutenant from
the cutter Richard Rush boarded the
schooners Alexander of San Francisco,
Captain G. II. Lewis, and the st. Paul
of Kodiac, on July l, and sent them to
Ounalaska with prize crew aboard.

MILLIONS OF DIAMONDS.
Composition of Meteor That Fell
In Arizona.

In Arizona.
NEW YORK, July 19.-Defnite knowl-
edge of the interior composition of
meteor has just been gained by profess
sors at Yale college, Last year an i'm
mense meteor fell in Canyon Diablo,
Arizona. It was purchased from the
discoverer for $3.50 by friends of Pro-
lessor Elias Loomis, now dead, who
was Yale's chief astronomer. The
meteor was sent to Yale college
for the Peabody museum, with
the request that it be inscribed
to the memory of Professor Loomis.
The mass was rough and uneven and
looked like huge cindsr. Last week
it was sent to a New Haven factory to
have one end planed off to give space
for the inscription. From its general
appearance the men supposed it
weighed about 200 pounds, while, in
fact, its weight was about S35 pounds.
The two men who came for it nearly
strained their backs before they
acknowledged they needed help.
The workmen were surprised when
they saw the teeth OF the powerful
planer melting swiftly away. Set after
set of teeth was put at work, but it was
not until IL had been used and spoiled
that the desired smooth surface was
made. An examination of the scraps
from the planer revealed the fact that
the meteor was composed of millions Of
minute black and white diamonds, too
small to be of any use, but weighing
enough in the aggregate, could they b
combined, to furnish an immense for
tune. There are other valuable ma
terials in the meteor - nickel, iron
graphite and triolite.
