FOUGHT A DRAW.
George Dixon Has Met
His Match.
GRIFFO MUCH TOO HEAVY.
Might Have Been Different at
Even Weight.
TWENTY VERY PRETTY ROUNDS.
Then the Referee Declared That
Neither Man Had Won the
Battle.

Boston. June 29.-Five thousand spec
tators witnessed one of the prettiest fights
ever held in this city, at the Casino to-
night. between Dixon and Griffo. Critic
seemed over-fat and his heavy form cre-
ated the impression that Dixon would have
hard tussle to win, but here is where
the colored man again proved his game
| ness and adroit tactics. He was
| cuffed and slapped and cut about the
face by his heavy opponent. but
on more than one occasion during the
twenty rounds 1t looked as though his left
would nnish the Australian. Critic is a
great fighter and no mistake, but the i'm
preston gained from the battle of to-
night was that at anywhere near even
weight the colored boy would win. Critic
| tipped the beam at 135 and Dixon 123.
For the first few rounds Critic was In
high feather. landing frequently and with
effect. Dixon seemed wild and wasted
much Of his strength swinging into the air.
while Critics movements were almost
perfect, sidestepping and clinching in won
derful style.
In the second round he was warned by
Eckhardt that he must refrain from ruff
fing with his elbows the negro's chin. He
did as requested and received no further
instructions. He held the advantage up
TO the close of the fourth round, but in the
fifth Dixon did some hot rushing that did
much damage.
Both were tagged in the seventh. but
Critic had found Dixon's face and hit him
repeatedly and brought blood.
In the eighth Dixon caught Griffo full in
the face and they exchanged rapidly, not
being much hurt. up to and including the
fifteenth round.
1D round sixteenth George put in one on
Griffo's head and missed a wicked right
for the jaw. In ducking to avoid the lat
ter. Griffo was met with the hali-arm
swing of the left from the eolored lad.
Round 17-Griffo met the first rush of
Dixon with a stiff left-hander, and the
negro's head went back. He retired to the
further corner, but returned with a rush,
shot out the left again and landed on
Griffo's jaw.
Round 1S-Again did Dixon catch his op-
pOnent when he ducked. A clinch fol-
lowed, and when the pair parted the flesh
over Dixon's left eye was cut and bleeding
He was fighting all the time. however, and
before the round was finished he had more
than evened matters.
Round 19-There was slight breathing
spell and then a rush by Dixon, clever
sdestep by Critic and the pair again in
the center of the ring. Critic was first to
lead with well-measured right, finding
Dxon's S jaw, while the darky's left reached
Griffo's eye viciously.
Round 20-There was a furious two
minute exchange of blows in which hon.
Ors were divided, and then a walk around
the ring. The pair had fought their fight
Of fights, and at the finish they shook
hands and laughed good n urcdiy at one

WITH HALF HEARTS.
Union Pacific Men Do Not Want to
Go Out.


OMAHA. Neb.. June e29.-Presideut Debs
of the American Railway Union. wired
Secretary Noble OF the local union TO
strike at noon. Noble conferred with
President Miller of the local union and
others connected with the organ ization on
the proposition. An answer was returned
to the effect that the local situation is such
that in the wisdom of the local union it is
deemed highly impracticable 10 precipitate
a strike here and the argument was made
that positively no hope existed for the sue
cessful carrying out of a boycott, as the
local union consisted entirely of men not
in the train service.
An Omaha railroad man explains that
the Western boycott arises from the fact
that a crew ran q car with an A. r. u.
grievance committee out to the shops, and
the company let the crew out when il
heard OF it, The Chicago roads have agents
in Omaha hustling up men to take the
places of A. r. U. men in Chicago. They
are meeting but poor encouragement, for,
as far as known, not a single man has
gone. There are number of railroad men
in Omaha who are out Of work, and they
have been asked if they would 90 TO Chi
cago and take the places OF the strikers if
they were wanted. The answer has been
an emphatic "No." While the men in
Omaha are anxious to 60 to work. they de-
clare that they will starve before they will
take the places OF men who are out for a
principle.
1t is stoutly maintained that there will
be no trouble in Omaha or at the Council
Bluffs transfer. but all admit that the con-
dition of affairs is extremely critical and
that it would not require much to precipi-
tate a strike.

NO SPECIAL MAIL TRAINS.
That Is the Conclusion Reached BY
Mr.. Olnev.

mat IS the conclusion Reached by
Mr.. Olnev.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Nether At
torney-General Olney nor Postmaster
General Bissell will express positive opin-
IONS as TO the Governments right to COM
pei railroads to carry mail, even though
only an engine and one car is run; but
when seen by THE CALL correspondent
the tone OF their conversation plainly
showed that, in their opinion, it was not
oDllgatory on the roads to transport the
mall unless on regular trains. This, how
ever, In many cases depends upon the
form OF contract. so that no rule can be
laid down that may be applied to all roads.
There is no manner of doubt that the
strikers will be prosecuted If they obstruct
the running Of trains carrying mail, as
this is violation of United States law
Mr.. Olney had no hestancy in saying that
he had instructed several District Attor-
neys to this effect. He was cautious. how
ever, when asked whether. in his opinion,
concerted action of railroad employees in
abandoning work could be construed into
conspiracy resulting in obstruct on of
the mail service. This view has been ad-
vanced by some alleged good lawyers,
while others say it is the veriest nonsense.
Attorney General Olney evidently thought
so, for he only smiled when the question
was asked him in a way that plainly in
dicated his opinion of the lawyers who
would advance such constructions Of the
law.
Senator White believed il is right to
punish those who strive to prevent others
from operating railroad trains, but
laughed at the idea that it was "con-
spiraey" for them to quit work by con-
certed agreement.
"a man cannot be compelled to work,
but he can be punished for trying to pre-
vent Others" said he. Senator White does
not believe that the railroads can be COM
PEELED TO run special mail trains where this
will be allowed by the strikers, except in
cases where the contract provides for
special service, but this is believed TO be
an unusual provision.
Senator White has discontinued his
voluminous correspondence to California
constituents, and is now using the tele-
graph to communicate with his family
Other Californians are doing the same.
The situation from the standpoint of
possible Federal Interference is this.
briefly: The roads will not be compelled
to run special mail trains, and strikers
will De arrested and prosecuted for any
overt act resulting in delaying the mails
Acting Postmaster-General Jones held
short conference this afternoon with At
torney-General Olney. at which the move
ments of the strikers were discussed. 1t
was decided to rgidly insist upon the car
riage of all mails and to prosecute ali who
interfere with postal TRANSPORTATION.

ON THE COAST DIVISION.
One Train Went Through With a
SCab Crew.

SCab Crew.
PACIFIC GROVE, June 29.-The many
railroad men who are at this terminus Of
the coast division are making things
pretty lively on the streets and hotel
lobbies by their discussions and argu-
ments. Train 13, under Conductor Gould,
arrived forty minutes late this evening.
II is understood that no train will arrive
tomorrow, and it is hardly probable that
the train scheduled to leave at 6 :35 in the
morning will go out. No tickets will be
sold, and even if the train moves out no
tickets can be sold. This is greatly iD-
cOnyeniencing people here, as many ex-
pected to return to San Francisco to-
morrow. Even if the train leaves no
baggage Will be checked. Conductor
Gould's train this evening arrived with
FIVE scab trainmen. The people who are
visiting the fair from this city will be
greatly put out if no train arrives, as many
local business men are now in the city. AkS
