By The Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 5.-The Slusher-
vokes fight was successfully pulled off at
Riverside park, we'll known resort near
this city last night, under the auspices OF
the Kentucky Athletic CLUB. Colonel
Ike English OF Cincinnati was behind
Slusher, and Johnny Needham, the
well-known welter- weight, acted in the
same capacity for vokes. The men
weighed in at 13i pounds. Elisha Kelly,
n well-known newspaper man of this city,
was referee. Fred Pfeffer, the ball player,
was time keeper. Susher was the ia
vorite in the betting, but Vokes
had great many friends and
all bets were readily taken. The sporting

well represented. Time was called at IL
O'Clock. Four ounce gloves were used and
Marquis OF Queensbery rules governed.
Ia lasted Two Hours.
The fight lasted two hours and was a
pretty even one, vokes doing the most OF
the leading. In the twenty-ninth round
Vokes had decidedly the best OF it. A
swinging right handler in the thirtieth
by Slusher knocked Vokes under the
ropes, and his head struck the floor with
such force that he did not recover con-
sciousness for some time.

SEALERS EXCITED.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 5. - The
hopes of the sealers, that there will be no
embargo on Berhing sea this season, have
been raised by the report of Captain Abel
Strong OF the British schooner Artist,
which has arrived here from Victoria to
fl out for seasons cruise. When he took
out his papers at Victoria, the
charge D'Affaires, it is said, gave a
quiet tip that there was likely to be
considerable difficulty in effecting an
arrangement between the United States
and England this year and officially noti-
fled him to keep clear of the sea until the
first of May. II by that date no English
orders have been issued TO the effect that
the sea is closed, Captain
Strong could consider himself
at liberty TO go hunting in the
hitherto prescribed districts. No such
information has been conhded TO the
American scalers, who have no knowledge
OF probable rupture of the agreement.
Local owners who heard OF Captain
Strong's instructions were considerably
excited and n long telegram has been
framed asking for information from
Washington.

PARIS, Jan. 5.-Maitre Labori, distin-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-There will be
another contest In the senate over the
confirmation OF Thomas, appointed from
Eastern states, as Indian agent and other
offices in the West. During
the special session of congress
there was protracted fight i'm the senate
against the conformation Of this class OF
appointments, not because there was an
objection to the men personally, but be-
cause the principle was opposed. Senator
Hill OF New York, was one OF the few
Democrats who supported the Republi-
cans in the fight that was made. Every
man sent from one state to hold settled
appointment in another was opposed in
executive session by Senator Hill. The
fight was led by the senators from the
West. The fight this time will open with
an Oregon appointment. 1t is claimed by
those who support the administration in
this matter that Indian agents are not
state appointments and that Indian
agencies are purely under federal control.
