FesthsrwsIght Champlons.

BosToN, Mass, March 17.--Provided
there Is no police interference at the
eleventh hour, Featherwelght Cham
pion George Dixon and Jerry Marshall
will come together before the Prescott
Athletic club, tonight, for fifteen
round bout; and large delegation OF
the sporting fraternity from New York,
Jersey City, BrooklYn and other places
came in this morning, with the expec-
tation OF witnessing the battle. This
go was to have been one of the features
OF Dan Stuart's pugilistic carnival, at
FL Paso, the men at that time being
pitted against OF oh other for the cham
pionship of the world and purse of
$S. 900. Each man will weigh in at
the ringside, tonight, ct l22 pounds.
Dixon is twenty six years old, Ave
feet three and one-half inches In
height, while Marshall is four years
his senior and two inches taller.
Sports Of good judgement who have
seen what Marshall can do. Ia his
meetings with "Kid" Lavigne and
Johnny Van Heest. believe that he is q
dark horse and possibly new cham
pion. He has taken good care Of him
self all his life, and Ia the matter Of
to stand lots of punishment,
is probably in better shape than his
opponent, especially ~ the latter has
bad spell OF sickness since the FL
Peso fiascO.

Sentiment EylcentIy 0rowIng In Favor Of the
White Metal.

New YORK, N. r., March IT.
A dispatch from London says; The
ssc;;oa IL ia7or Of the establishment OF
an international bi-metallic currency,
was on the calendar OF the house Of
commons for debate tonight, and both
the friends and opponents Of the pro
posal have sent out urgent requests to
the members to be in their places. II
q division Is pressed, party lines Will
not be drawn, az The motion will be
antagoniaed By the gold influence Of
both the conservative ani liberal
branches. 1t has been given out that
a speech In favor Of the motion will be
made by the chancellor OF the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, but
great pressure has been brought to
bear upon him by the gold element,
on the ground that the government
should maintain q neutral attitude on
a question OF this kind when subm ted
by private member. II Is probable,
however, that the weight Of the gov
ernment will be thrown toward the
motion.

though the republican state conven-

reunion and love feast, delegates

buttons and badges bearing the coun-
