TO the Southern Democratic politicians. and
appealed eloquently to Northern Demo-

OF this nefarious bill. The black people
were the most traduced and slandered on

THE CITYOF PICKING
No News of the Overdue
Steamer.
UneasineSs of the Steamship People
for Her Safety-The nission
of the Fearless.

All possible theories had been worn
threadpare by discussion when darkness
fell on the waters of the bay last night, and
still no City Of Peking had hove in sight of
the heads.
The Pacific Mail people had at last begun
to show the general uGeasiness. and there
was talk of sending the Millen CIR fifth
out to take part in the search for the miss
ing vessel The Fearless, it was said, bad
already gone out, but-as 1t usually hap
pens in these cases-those interested insisted
! that she had merely gone out to tow a
schooner to sea.
The Chinese merchants who have heavy
interest in the vessel were the most fire.
Quent callers at the Merchants Exchange
aud UP to 10 O'clock last night 90 per cent
reinsurance risk was quoted in Chin atown.
The regular reinsurance risk yesterday
varied from 10 to 10 per cent. The cargo is
valued at over million dollars and of the
insurance two English companies have
S125. 600. the Fireman's Fund $4,000 And
the Sun $4,000.
Nothing fresh was really expected to be
learned from the Fearless trip, because the
tug could not go far 10 sea without risk IF
missing her quarry. and the general belief
seemed to be that even the China might ar
rive without news, though she, like the
Picking, had taken the southern route. The
China was not scheduled TO call at Homo
lulu, so that if the Picking had made for the
latter port the China would miss her.
The British steamer Bawnmore, which
has been delayed for three or four days in
sailing for NanaIm0, got away last evening,
after steaming around the bay most of the
day. She took seven union firemen. two
union sailors and three non-union men. As
Captain Woodside is one of the principal
witnesses in the British Columbia court
againstIthe union sailors In the kidnapping
case on the steamer, it is cynically limited
that another accident" or some unac-
countRble circumstance may again detan
the Bawnmore on her way north. .

A SHORT FIGHT.
Purcell Whips Walker in
Four Rounds.
A Contest Which Created Much Excite
ment Owing to Bad System
of Time-Keeping.

The Palo Alto Club was packed last
evening with very enthusiastic crowd of
people, who grew very boisterous at the
end Of the fistic entertainment owing to a
display OF ignorance on the part or the time
keepers who held the watches.
Previous to the event of the evening,
which consisted of finish contest between
Frank Purcell of Salt Lake and Arthur
Walker Of Australia, ten-round bout was
witnessed between Jacomie, the champion
wrestler-pugilist Of Nannygoat HILL and
Scotty, the Colored Spider OF Los Angeles.
The white man had a big handicap on his
wiry and elongated opponent in height and
weight. but what Sc0tty was wanting in
flesh he made up fully by the science he
displayed during the contest.
The Italian could not land one straight
punch during the engagement, and his only
effective blow, II 1t could be called such,
was slap with the open glove when
Scotty was making a retreat from Wild
and awkward rush. Time and again Scotty
landed his bunch of fives on Jacome's nasal
appendage He seemed to enjoy the sport
OF shooting at the Italians frontlspiece,
much TO the chagrin OF the latter, who failed
repeatedly to score an effective blow.
In the zenith and last round Scotty
punched Jaeomie hard. and Referee Flood.
the Australian pugilist. awarded the con-
test in favor Of the colored spider.
The event OF the evening was short and
spirited. Walker made hurricane night
and looked a winner up TO the time Purcell
got home his favorte smash, which Is
right-handed swing on the chin point.
Tbs first, second aud third rounds ended
in favor of the Scotchmab. who chased his
opponent around the ring and landed sew
eral good stiff punches on PurcelPs body
and neck.

In Ubalde Selna's viii it was expressly

the arrangement for the exhibit ion and it
WAS the first OF September last before j. T..
Young's efforts were successful in securing
any evidence OF support at all. Then the
people Of San Luis Obispo had TO pick up
the remnants OF their crops and send them
to the fair. But II the squashes and onions,
the potatoes and the carrots-each one OF
which would provide meal for family
II these III marvellous products are merely the
remnant of the crop then it requires no
effnIt on the part Of the imagination to
realize that, as Mr.. Webster declares, the
onions and other kindred vegetables
actually push one another out OF the
ground In San Luis OblSpo County.
Mr.. Webster concluded by remarklng that
when commission merchants and carriers
ceased their exactions butter and other
farm products could be furnished to San
Francisco by San Luis Obispo County at a
lower rate than the present state OF things
makes possible.

Purcell, however, took very little n0tics
OF the uproar, and continued to avoid
Walkers PUSHES by lodging from corner to
corner of the ring. and occasionally stop

gagement.
When half OF the second round was COM
pleted, Purcell slipped and fell. and then
there was roar of anger from his hackers,
some of whom tried to hedge by offering
odds on Walker.
In the fourth and last round Purcell, who
was being pursued by Walker, turned
quickly on his heel just as the Scotchman
got within good swinging distance. and, let
ting 60 his right duke, he landed the glove
with good effect on Walkers chin.
The recipient fell to the floor and leaned
against the lower ropes. he struggled
to his feet, but had scarcely got into posi-
ti0n when he was sent down again near his
own corner by right smash IN the mouth.
Again Walker got on his feet, and was
sent down third time.
Purcell was standing Immediately over
his opponent, when Referee Acton stepped
in and ordered him to his corner.
Purcell walked away In the direction OF

rise, and as he regained his feet and was
resting his back on the ropes Purcell made
another pass at him. Walker went down

seconds more grace before being officially
called out.
