FOUGHT A DRAW.
Trimmer and Murphy Htt Hard For Twen-
 ty-fiye Hounds.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. ss.-The first of the series of fights which will form the pugilistic triple cvcnt at the Olympic club took place In tho presence of 5000 spectatCes. Professor John F. Eckhart ofliciated as rcferee. Murphy and Plim- mer fought for a purse Of Sa, 50o-Ss, OO0 to tho winner and $500 to tho lossr. The match was decided draw. The men wero in splendid condition and weighed in at tho stipulated woight-Il5 pounds.
 The stakeless ring was introduced for the first time, and so far as appearances went seemed to To an improvement on tho old style ropcd inelusure..
 Trimmer forced the fighting from the start and had rather the best of 1t up to tho twelfth round wien Murphy evened things up by getting in some terrific swings.
 In rounds "a and II the fighting was terrific, Murphy getting some fearful punches. When the gong sounded at the end of tho fourteenth round, they had to be separated. In the fifteenth and six teenth rounds they fought desperately. Murphy gut the greater humber of blows and the harder ones tOA Still the King .ishman sailed to weaken him.
 In the seventeenth and eighteenth rounds Trimmer had the better of the fighting. and in the eighteenth round Iltmmers s execution was terrible Hc landed a heavy right on Nurphy's throat, knocking the latter to tho ground. and though Murphy 20. up and fought game ly hc was hammered around the ring to the end Of tho round.
 The nineteenth and twentieth rounds were in Plimmer's favor. the latter jab. bIng Murphy all around the ring In the twenty first round Murphy received severe punishment.
 In the twenty second round Trimmer was knocked down by a heavy right in the jaw. This was Murphy's round. In rounds 23 and - therc was terrific fight ing in Plimmor's favur. Murphy's re- cuperative powers, however, were i'm mensc.
 Tho men then shook hands for tho windup. plimmer's blows seemed to have the most steam. Tho little Englishman landed some hard body blows with the right and some hard blows with his left. Tho audience rose in a body to hear the verdict. The referee declared the match a draw. and his decision received general appreciation. Trimmer had the best of the hitting. but the little Bostonian's game ness and generalship enabled him to con ,inue the contest to the required 25 rounds.

KOREAN CAMPAIGN.
The Japanese Plan For Descent Upon
 Picking.

SHANGHAI, Sept. c5.-Captain Tang. commander of the Chinese warship Chin Yuen, which was sunk in the engagements of the Yalu river, is among the saved.
 Tho British steamer lrene. from Ham burg, loaded with largo quantities of mu- nitions of war, has safely arrived at Taku and landed her cargo.
 It is understood that tho governor of Manchuria is concentrating all the troops raised in that province upon Mukden, and that on tho route to Wi-Ju extensive earthworks arc being thrown up. The levies arc composed of hardy north China men and are excellent material, but they arc badly armed. only about LOGO of them having good military rifles.
 Further supplies, however, arc being hurried up from the southern arscnals.
 Tho Chinese force intrenched upon the Yalu river Is estimated to number 3S, 900 men. Many of these arc raw levies and also badly armed. Tho loss of fold guns, rifles and ammunition suffered at Ping Yang has greatly embarrassed the Chinese war department. It Is recognized that u battlo must be fought on the Yalu. and the Chinese are straining every nerve to retrieve the disaster at Ping Yang. Europcan officers hero doubt whether Mukden Is really the immediate object of tho Japanese It is considered moro probable that before they attack wi-Ju tho Japanese will make descent from the sea upon Neu Chwang with an expe- | ilitionary force If this movement should be successfully made. tho Japanese would cut the Chinese main line of communi- cation and could attack the Yalu army in the rear. Seu- -Chwang in the possession of the Japanese would form a base for a movement upon Mukden or upon Peking itself, and the forces landed there could co operate with tho army advancing from Korea. This is tho plan credited by ex- perts to Field Marshal Yamagata.
