LONGEST FIGHT ON RECORD.
Bowen and Burke in tho Ring Owe
Seven Hours-A Draw.

Bowen and Burke in tho Ring Over
Seven Hours-A Draw.
New ORLEANS. April z, 1893.-The
Bowen-Burke fight was stopped in the
10th round by the referee, who decided
It no contest.
There was very little f~ightingdone after
the ninety-third round Bowen from
time to time until the finish was the ag-
gressor whenever there was any fighting
to be done. He landed now and then on
any damage. Burke's hands were prac-
tically useless and Ehe only prodaed
at Bowen to keep him guessing and not
with the belief that he could knock the
local man out. In the ninety-fourth
round Referee Duffy had to leave the
ring and President Dixon had the honor
Of refereering a round. In. the 105th
round Bowen fell heavily from the mo-
mentum of his WI blow, but did not
b urt himself.
In response to the vehement demands
of the crowd, Referee Duffy In the 108th
round announced that ii nothing was done
in gthe succeeding two rounds he would
stop the fight and declare it no fcontest.
This had the effect of making both men
summon I'D sufficient courage to force
the fighting. At the end OF the 10th
round Duffy stopped the fight and declar-
ed it no contest. Bowen protested.
but in vain. He was unmarked and
fresh when he left the ring. Burke was
badly punished about the body, appar-
emily. and some of the bones in both his
hands he said were broken; his wrists
were much swollen, and he suffered con-
siderable pain: He wants to fight Bowen
again, but President Dickson says his
club will not make q new match. The
board of directors will meet today and de-
eide what to do with the purse. Presis.
dent Dickson suys the men
fought hard and are entitled
to the money. AS Bowen was
willing to continue. aud the official ref
cree prevented him from doink SO, the
club is PROBABLY responsible for the
money. The Bowen people are sore at
the decision. A new match will no doubt
be made.
The purse will probably be divided.
Bowen ed to finish. Bones in both
of Burke's hands were broken.
This fight was for 81, 500, CT which $500
was to have gone to the loser. The con-
test was chiefly of local interest, drawing
but few outsiders to New Orleans.
In the matter Of length, the hight beats
all previous records. 1t occupied nearly
seven hours and a half
The longest contest previous to this one
was that of February 81. 1890, at San
francisco, between Danny Needham and
Patsey Kerrigan. In this case a draw was
declared after 100 rounds.

TIE SEAL FISHERY A FAILURE.

ST. JoHN's, N. F., April 2. 1s93-The
New Foundiand Seal Fishery is now adj
mitted to be a total failure for this sea-
son, worse even than expected.
The schooner Thrasher arrived from
Bona Vista yesterday. and reports that
seventeen schooners were off the North
Coast without seals. The Falcon had
1000, and the other vessels OF the fleet a
much less number.
Among all there is not sufficient to load
one ship. The New Foundland brought
5000 seals, the Nimrod $4,000, and the
Algerine is expected to maK a good
catch.
The total catch of the feet is not ex-
pected to yield $1,000 seals, which is one
fourth of last years catch.

THOSE who are well posted say that
Freeholder Hennessey is sure to be re-
elected in the Third district. His
opponent. Alderman Norton, is MAX
ing a vigorous fight, but his chances
of success are not good, He has the
Republican nomination, but it is
doubtful if he will get the Republican
vote. Many claim a large section OF
it will go to MI. Hennessey.
Mr.. Hennessey should succeed. He
has a good record as member of the
Board of Freeholders, and should re-
ceive the support of all the democrats
in the district, at least.

THE effort of some Republican cam
paign writers and takers, to load MI.
Allen with the burden of the Bad
Legislatures doings is both unjust
and absurd. Mr.. Allen had no more
to do with the race track bills than
the man in the moon. He was sick in
bed a large part of the time the Legis-
lature was in session. He was not
one of the obscene mob who went,
under the direction of Bob Davis to,
urge the passage of the Wanser wing
clippers. He has never committed
himself upon this subject. He is IN :
der no pledge to Davis or anyone else
to obstruct Mayor Wanser's policy, or
''hang up" his appointments, provid-
ed they are good ones. Indeed, we
believe Nj. Allen would uphold the
Mayor in everything that was for the
good of the city. We believe the peo-
pie can make NO mistake in giving
him two years more tenure of the
Office he has now filled SO creditably
for four.

Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Simpson.

W.T.. Aklon anu uVf,
Mr.. Reuben Simpson and Mr..
Flavel MCGEE, in their addresses at
the Minkakwa Club mass meeting in
Greenyille, last evening. urged with
great emphasis that politics should
not count in a municipal election.
The qualifications and affiliations of
the candidates were the most i'm
portant considerations.
There is something in this, though
we doubt if it would ever make Mr..
MCGEE vote for a democrat; but it
does not apply when one Of the candi-
dates is just as good as the other.
Take the two men in the present
contest, MI. Allen and Nh. Simpson.
We are willing to concede almost
every good quality to Mr.. Simpson,
personally. He is honest, able and
energetic. He makes a good public
official in one capacity, and would be
just as successful in another. But
there is not . word you can say in his
favor which you cannot say, with equal
emphasis, of Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Aliens personal integrity is
equal to his financial standing, and
that is beyond question. His ability
as a inancier is at least equal to that
of Mr.. Simpson, probably in dealing
with large operations he has much
more experience and skill. Mr.. Al
len has, besides, years of experience as
a member of the Board of Finance,
and that experience is what the city
needs in the management of its affairs.
1t appears, then, that Mr.. Allen is
personally the better choice for the
people in the contest of next Tuesday;
but, admitting he is only equal to MI.
Simpson-just for arguments sake
then the element of politics must con-
troll the decision between them. If
two equally good candidates are pre-
sented, then every man ought to vote
for the one who is of the same politi-
cal creed with himself. If this rule be
carried out in Jersey City, Mr.. Allen
will be elected by from one to two
thousand majority.

l1oKE COMPLAINS.

The Secretary Says He Has Been Woe
fully Misrepresented- He Is Not Opposed
to Pensions. But Is Determined to Purge
the List Of Fraudulent Claimants.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 90. = Secretary
Hoke Smith has made u statement re-
garding his position upon the pension
question. He says he has often been
grossly misrepresented in this mat
ter and held responsible for acts
about which he knew nothing
until they had been committed; and he
makes particular mention of the case
of Charles I. Bennett, private in Com
pany F, Thirteenth Indiana volunteers,
upon which an important order was
issued and about which SO much has
been said.
Mr.. Smith says it is wrong to sup
pose he is common enemy to pensions.
He conscientiously believes there have
crept upon the pension rolls, through
one avenue or another, the names
of an enormous number of per-
sons who are not entitled to PEN
sions. "These are the ones am after"
declared the secretary, land they are
the ones intend to weed out of the
pension list, it they reduce the total
number of pensioners one-half."
Referring to the order of Commits
sioner> Lochren, that pensioners whose
claims were not good upon the pre-
sentation made should be dropped from
the rolls for a period of sixty days,
when they must make their claims
good or suffer permanent suspension.
SecretarySmith says that this action was
taken when he was absent from Wash
ington, and that it did not meet his ap-
proval He believed that pensioner,
after being once placed upon the
rolls. should have notice before
being dropped. Secretary Smith states
that his original idea in hav-
ing the list of suspects pre-
pared was to have stricken from the
rolls those who had failed to present
prima facie evidence that they were
entitled to pensions. lie believes that
investigation into all these cases will
lead to the discovery of much fraud,
and that fully half of those who have
not made prima facie cases will fail
in their efforts to show that they were
entitled to pensions.
Many of those who were being noti-
fled that they must furnish new evil
dence had SO little to stand upon that
they would make no effort whatever.
The secretary says it is great mistake
to suppose that he intended to de-
crease pension expenditures by de-
priving those who were entitled to pen
sions under the law of their just re-
wards. Referring to the fact that
quite number Of pensioners who were
dropped from the rolls were being re-
instated, the secretary said that all
of them had furnished the required evi-
dence.
