The wrestling match last Wednes-
day night between A. H. Felkey. of
Cresco, and w. L. Loveland, cham
pion light-weight of Minnesota, was
the most exciting and most closely
contested athletic event ever in Cres-
co. Some trouble was experienced "a
selecting a referee. but abont 10 o'clock
Morris Flemming was selected and
time called. For over three hours
they struggled and tugged with only u
short intermissiOn, and at the solicita-
tion of Loveland's friends, the referee
declared it a draw. Mr.. Felkey says
that q short time more would have
seen him throw his man. Lime Springs
has for some time endeavored to get
man here to down Felkey and thought
they had one here to do it this time
sure, but were again doomed to disap-
pointment. Ole Marsh, the Decorah
fakir, was present and made himself
conspicuous, as usual. We understand
that Loveland's hackers have made no
advances for another match, though
they will probably be accommodated
should they so desire.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 2S.-President
Gompers was in Pittsburg to-day in
conference with leaders OF the Ameri-
car Federation. He stated that the
eight hour movement was now para
mount in the minds of labor leaders.
Over half million toilers will demand
a shorter day, May l, and most OF them
will get it without struggle.
Continuing, he said:
Il do not want to predict that there
will or will not be strikes. When
movements of this kind are started,
there is no telling where they will end.
At the present time | don't know of any
great strikes contemplated or that any
will be necessary"
When asked what branches OF trade
would join in the movement he said:
The building trades generally have the
eight hour day in large cities, but the
trades that will make the request are
the carpenters. horSeshoers, stone-cut-
ters. bridge and structural iron work
ers. and several other crafts. There
have been many conferences lately in
all the cities between the representa-
tives of the trades unions and the en-
ployers in reference TO the eight hour
rule. The men have been met in a
spirit of fairness. The result of these
conferences will be seen in the large in
dustrial centres about May 4, which is
the first Monday in the month. The
days work will be lessened, but there
will be no decrease of pay

COMMUNICATION CUT OFF.
The Telegraph Wires Between Buluwayo
and Cape Town Downat Fig Tree-Causes
Considerable ANXIETY.

Copyright. Associated Press)
Capetown, April 23.-Telegraphic
communication with the town of Bulu-
wayo has been cut off at Fig Tree. The
latter is a small place near Mangwe,
southwest of Buluwayo. The break
cuts off all means of communication by
wire with Buluwayo and, in view of the
serious condition of affairs there, the
town being surrounded by $4,000 Mata-
beles. it causes considerable anxiety. A
repairing and scouting party has been
sent out from Mangwe in the direction
of Fig Tree There was no change in
the situation when Buluwayo was last
heard from. 1t is hoped the break may
be due to an accident or simply be the
work of marauding band Of Mata-
beleS
