in Seven Rounds.
CARSON New, April u. - Charles
Turner of Stockton whipped George
Allen of Australia in seven rounds to-
night. The principals entered the ring
at 1890, and went right to business. The
first three rounds opened with consider
able mitigating, Allen smashing Turner
repeatedly on the jaw and neck. Turner
played for Aliens stomach, reaching it
several times with great force.
Allen was always the aggressor, and
forced the fighting from the start. The
fourth and fifth rounds were very hot,
both men forcing each other to the ropes
and raining terrific blows right and left.
In the sixth round Aliens left landed on
Turner's face with effect
In the seventh round both men came to
the center of the ring like cats. Allen
rushed tiercely at Turner, smashing him
on the neck and stomach. Allen went at
Turner like maniac, and suddenly
Turner threw himself to the front, both
men clinching. Turner then rushed and
Knocked Allen down, the latter striking
the back Of his head on the floor with a
crash. When nine seconds were counted
he still remained helpless and was count
ed out. He remained unconscious fol

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.

Efforts to be Made to Secure AdjudI-
cation ut an Early Date.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Extraordi-
nary efforts will be made to secure adj
Judlcation upon the Chinese Exclusion
Act by the Supreme Court at this term.
The matter has been the subject of CORE
spondence batween the Governments of
the United States and China, and at the
request of the State Department the De-
partment of Justice has completed the
necessary preliminaries in conjunction
with counsel of the Chinese Government
and its subjects in this country.
Under the terms of the Geary law
case to determine the validity of the Act
cannot be begun until the 9TH of next
month. In ordinary circumstances it is
impossible to bring test case before the
Supreme Court of the United States be-
fore the adjournment for the summer re-
cess, but by concurrent action of all par
ties interested, which has been secured.
in view of the important international
character of the questions involved, the
standing of the law will be decided
within few weeks, thus obviating long,
tedious and expensive litigation.
An arrangement has been entered into
which contemplates the arrest of Chi
nese laborer in New York for violation of
the terms of the law, prompt decision in
the lower courts, and an appeal to the
supreme Court of the United States,
which may be heard on the Sth of Nav.
II the programme be carried out, de-
clsion will be rendered by the middle of
May, at which time the court expects to
adjourn for the term.
Commissioner Mason received a tele-
gram from the Collector of Internal Rev.
enue at San Francisco, stating that some
of the Chinese who were registering de-
sired for their own protection to file with
their papers copy of their picture. He
ashed if there was any objection, in view
of the recent circular issued by Secretary
Carlisle on the subject. He was informed
that there was no objection if the act was
purely voluntary

HEAVY FAILURE.

y British Bank Whose Liabilities
Reach $4,000, 900.
LONDON, April 12.-The English, Scot
fish and Australian Chartered Bank has
failed with liabilities amounting, it is
said, to eight million pounds or 10000
900. No estimate of assets is yet made,
out they are supposed to be large. The
bank was incorporated by royal charter
in 1852, and claimed to have paid-up
capital of $500, 900 and a reserve fund of
E3lO,O The suspended bank has main
branches at Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane
and Melbourne, and at various lesser
points in the colonies of New South Wales,
Victoria and South Australia. 1t trans
acted banking and exchange business
between Great Britain and Australian
colonies and had large deposits. The
failure has added to the anxiety and con-
sternation which previous recent failures
of financial institutions with Australian
connections have caused. The only rea-
son given for the failure is that there
has been for several weeks steadily in
creasing withdrawal of deposits.

Conflict Between Workingmen and the
Police-Many Injured.
BRUSSELS, April 12.-Immediately after
the assembling of the Deputies to-day an
excited crowd gathered. AS the crowd
became more demonstrative a squadron
of police was called out and held ready to
charge. At t o'clock the workingmen
nearest the Parliamentary building raised
shout for universal suffrage, and made
a rush to break the police line. The po-
lice were driven back and the mob tried
to push up the steps. The mounted re-
serves charged with drawn swords. The
mob met them with repeated volley of
stones, but were eventually forced back
and partly dispersed. In the conflict sew
eral policemen were struck with stones
on the head, and many rioters were cut
and tramped on. Repeated disturbances
followed, for as often as the crowd was
dispersed by the police the rioters tried TO
reassemble and tight back with stones.
In the district round the parliamentary
buildings fifteen men were arrested.
There were less serious disturbances in
other parts of the city, also followed by
arrests.

oPeClil 70 the hECORD-UNTON,
PARIS, April 12,-Upon the opening of
the Behring Sea Court of Arbitration to-
day President Baron De Courcelles an
nounced that the court had decided not to
admit the British supplementary report
Tor the present. The President added
that this decision was without prejudice
TO the right of counsel to introduce the
report In the pleadings by word of
mouth. The President further announced
that the tribunal had decided to adjourn
the demand of the United States for the
rejection of portions of the British coun-
ter-case.
j. Z. Carter then proceeded to address
the court. He reviewed the history of
the sealing industry, and mentioned that
Russia had prohibited the slaughter of
female seals. He contended that the
seals were bestowed by Providence on
all mankind. 1t was the duty of the
American Government to prevent their
determination, and therefore the United
States had re-enacted the Russian regula-
lions Tor the protection of seals, and had
arrested Canadian poachers because it
was impossible TO allow any nation TO de-
stroy lndiscriminately the gifts of Provi-
dence. Carter read the diplomatic COM
munications which related to the seizures
made Of vessels accused of poaching.
His address will probably last for a fort
night.
United States Agent Foster said in an
interview to-day that the decision of the
Court of Arbitration refusing for the
present to admit the British supple
mentary report substantially sustains the
| American Interpretation of the treaty of
arbitration in the contention that addi-
tional evidence cannot properly be laid
before the tribunal. The decision, Eos
ter adds, determined that the report can
rank as argument or criticism, but is not
pertinent as evidence or printed argu-
ment provided for in the treaty,

PARTRIDGE IS BEATEN.
EXCITING DAY ON THE CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE.
The Most Widely Known Bear Specu-
1ator in Grain in the World Ac-
knowledges His Defeat.
Special to the RrcoRp.uN1or.

special to the RECoRD-UNl0N.
CHICAGO, April 12.-The most widely
known bear Spectator in the grain trade
of the world tonight acknowledged him
self beaten, if not ruined. In an inter
view Edward Partridge talked wildly of
his losses and revenge, declaring that his
wife's fortune and his real estate would
yet enable him to recoup himself and
down the enemies who he admitted
pushed him to the wall in the great May
wheat deal.
The threat of 81 bushel for May wheat
seemed about to be realized to-day. Amid
intense excitement the price suddenly
shot up over cents on top of the recent
heavy advance Of nearly u cents. From
80 cents, however, there was a sudden
sheer and drop of 6 cents, followed by a
rapid rebound of 3 cents.
The whole trade seemed to feel that the
fate of the great plunger, Ed. Partridge,
hung in the balance, and the feeling of
nervousness and anxiety was widespread.
He covered his enormous short sales YES
terday and the opening to-day found
every one who had dealings with him
calling HIM heavily for margins away
beyond the market.
Everything seemed to be conspiring
with the big bull clique, headed by the
multi-millionaire pork-packers and
spectators, Michael and John Cudahy,
to make life burden to the big bear.
With terrific roar May opened at
ninety cents, an advance over night of
half a cent. 1t was supposed this would
bring the big plunger down, but he was
apparently still in the ring by large
majority, and the clique, seeing its mis-
take, began pounding the market with
heavy offerings by one of the best-known
clique brokers, Linn, and inside of five
minutes the quotation was eighty-four.
A series of wild fluctuations between
that figure and ninety followed till the
excitement exhausted itself, and at the
end of the first hour the market was
comparatively steady, six cents under
the opening figures, though another up
heaval was looked for at any moment.
The bull game was evidently to make
heavy margins necessary, though it was
disinclined to take much wheat at the
highest figures.
Partridge was on the floor directing
the operations of his brokers in person
and was evidently unruffied. He hung
stubbornly to his May position, but
bought in some July, which he sold YES
terday at profit of a cent or more Der
bushel, thus executing a neat flank
movement.
After the usual fluctuations of the ses-
sion May wheat closed at SCI cents.
within quarter of cent of yesterdays
price. The range during the day was
about six cents.
With Pardridge's defeat there seems to
be nothing to prevent the contamination
of the deal. As to the identity of the
clique there is as much mystery as ever.
Nobody are known in it but John and
Michael Cudahy and SANDY" Eggle-
ston. But few acquainted with the situa-
ton believe they are the principals.

Los ANGELES. April ia most inn
portant purchase in the railway world

great importance to the San Gabriel Val
ley. This was the acquisition yesterday

citic Company. The price paid was not

very cheap buy, most of the considera-

The property purchased consists OF the
railway now operated by the Terminal
Company, extending from this city to
Monrovia, together with franchise for
line into Pasadena, branching from the
main line near the San Gabriel winery at
West Alhambra. The main line runs
through the very richest portion of
Southern California, the best part of the
San Gabriel Valley, tapping the noted
ranches of the B. d. Wilson estate, the
L. j. Rose property, j, De Barth Shorb's
place, the Winston estate, A. B. Chap
mans rancho, the Baldwin Santa Anita
principality, to the busting little city of
Monrovia. 1t is lined with wineries and
orange-packing houses, and should, In
connection with trunk line, furnish
large returns in both freight and passen-
ger business.
Its stragefic Importance to the South
ern Pacific Company is;yery great, as it
will enable it to parallel the Southern
California or Santa Fe, and will give the
first named company a strong hold in
territory heretofore exclusively tributary
to the latter.
It's the plan of the Southern Pacific to
make this the first step IN the construc-
ton of a number of feeders and new lines
which will take in Riverside in connec-
ton with the branches already con-
structed to Redlands.
This line will be at once extended to
San Bernardino. close to the Southern

Business Portion of the City of Ypsi-
lantf Laid in Ruins.
DETROIT, April 12.-The following dis
patch was received from Ypsilanti: The
city is in ruins. A cyclone struck here
tonight, sweeping everything in its
path. Thousands of dollars worth of
damage was done. The storm took a
strip through the business portion of the
town, moving houses from their founda-
tons and raising others. The Cieary
Business College and Curtis Carriage
Factory are in ruins. Hawkins house
and the Occidental Hotel are badly dam
aged and the roofs of half the stores were
blown off. Twenty store fronts were
also smashed in. ON Huron street the
the rubbish is piled ten feet high. The
Postoffice building was demolished and
the mail scattered in the street. All the
telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires are down, leaving the city in com
plete darkness.
The work of clearing up is going OH as
rapidly as possible. No dead bodies
have been found, though some were
killed, and few probably fatally in
jured. Many more dwellings in the resi-
dence portion OF the city are down than
was at first supposed. The loss of prop
erty, it is estimated, will reach S2OO.OOD.
The streets are torn up and blocked by
fallen trees

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The Star has
this: 1t was rumored on the Stock Ex-
change in New York to-day that 81 .OOO.-
900 in gold will be shipped on next Satur-
day or Tuesday. 1t is not probable this
large sum will go out, but should half
the amount be needed it will be necessary
for the Secretary of the Treasury to utiI-
lze small part of the Sl0O, 900 gold
reserve. There is no impression that
bonds will be issued, as Secretary Car
Isle will not hesitate to dip into the gold
reserve,ssH necessary. Should the Secre-
tary find himself called upon to use the
gold reserve it is thought the banks will
Immediately come to the rescue of the
department..
The action of Secretary Carlisle in re-
fusing to purchase the Bowling Green
site in New York City for Custom
house, and in declining to accept the
Chestnut-street site in Philadelphia for a
United States Mint, is taken as indicating
his policy in regard to the erection OF
public buildings, which is understood to
be to defer entering upon any costly pub
lie works in the present condition of the
Treasury.
1t is generally believed Colonel La
mont, who, as Secretary of War. will
have charge of the river and harbor ex-
penditures, will follow on this same line
of action. Between the two departments
the payment of sums aggregating between
100000 to $75,0O0.0OO a year can be
easily deferred without hampering the
public service until the Treasury surplus
begins to grow again.

strangers to this country, who have sue

occupying one week. For seventy-five
miles of the way, after leaving Yuma, he
followed the Boundary Commission,

ing on independently of them in the day

alone for the coast, and for the first thirty

The ShiveIy Case Hearing Postponed
Until June 18th.
SAN Francisco, April l2.-Railroad
Commissioners Rea and Litchfield met
at the Office of the commission this fore
noon.
The further hearing of the Shively case
was postponed to June 18th at 10 A. NJ.
The Secretary of the board was in
structed to secure copies of all the evil
dence given before the Legislature con-
corning the management of all the rail-
roads in the State; also, to secure the evil
dence given at Sacramento affecting the
Commissioners; also, a copy of the
journal of both branches of the LegisIa-
ture for the files of the commission.
1t was subsequently explained by
Colonel Litchtield that counsel in the
Shively case might move to introduce
this mass of evidence as a part of the
Shively record. The attorney for the
Southern Pacific Company could move to
introduce such part of the matter as he
desires in, and the San Jose lawyer can
move to introduce other portions. Col
onel Litchfield had little confidence that
the Traffic Association of California can
be counted on to furnish any further evil
dence. The admission of the evidence
given at Sacramento, he said, would be
as effective as sitting sixteen months to
reach the same result.
When the two Commissioners had
talked various matters over it was agreed
to come together again upon call by
Chairman Rea. After the adjournment
Mr., Rea said that he would like to move
that the invitation to the Traffic Associa-
ton be renewed to join Shively of San
Jose in furnishing testimony under his
complaint. The impeachment of the
board is now no more an issue, the Com
sioner said, the board remains in office
and wants every one to testify who de-
sired to do SO.
Colonel Litchfield spoke at equal
length. He said that there was no good
in calling the board to order again to-day
to make this motion, for he would not
second it. The Traffic Association had
been invited before this to come in and
testify, but the invitation did not result
in anything. The board did not come
together again.

KANSAS CITY MOI, April 12.-As COM
munication gradually becomes opened
up with the small towns and hamlets
through Kansas, which the cyclone swept
yesterday, the real extent of the disaster
becomes known. 1t is impossible to get
the names of victims, however, and in
most instances the accounts of the de-
struction are incomplete. Fifteen people
are known to have been killed, thirty or
forty injured, while numberless houses
as well as smaller property destroyed.
Much stock was also killed. Fruit trees
were broken and twisted and hay stacks
shattered. Parker, a hamlet ten miles
south of Independence, was almost to-
tally destroyed. Many houses were de-
molished and many others badly wrecked,
Walnut, in Crawford County, suffered
severely in wrecked houses, but there
was no loss of life. Dispatches from
Hiawatha state that the storm wrought
great havoc in the northeastern portion of
the State. Several towns were more or
less damaged and many lives are reported
lost. The towns of Willis, Garnet, Everest
and Powhattan were partly demolished
and several people injured. Near Rob-
lnson, +. p. Potion was struck by light
ming, and killed. At Mascotah, several
houses were unroofed and Mrs. Burns
and her baby badly injured.
The cyclone entering Missouri struck
successfully the small towns of Mayview,
Page City and Higginsville, where, after
doing considerable damage, it spent its
force. at st. joseph the cyclone caused
considerable damage. Several people
were killed, but most OF the people saw
the storm coming in time to get into
cyclone caves and escaped injury. Salem,
Stanberry, Steeleville, Rolla and other
places report not only destruction of
property, but loss of lite. Nevada, Mex
leo and various other places report trees,
outhouses, fences and roofs blown away.
The same is true ofSouthern and Central
Illinois, Springfield, Quincy, Jackson
Vile, Danville, Centralia, Olney, Van
dalia, Cairo and various other places re-
porting barns and other small buildings
destroyed, and much livestock killed.
No loss of human life is reported.
Northern Arkansas also suffered,
though not to so great an extent.
The property loss at st. Louis will be
great, aggregating over 100000. Trains
from all sections were from one to three
hours late to-day. The death list for
Missouri reaches over twenty-five, and it
cannot be foretold how much it may be
increased as soon as communication is
re-established.
