SHARKEY AND FITX.
They Will Likely Fight Ten Rounc
Enrly in DncnmhCr,

They Will Likely Fight Ten Rounds
Early in December.
San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-The National
Sporting club has turned its attention to
Robert FitZsmmons, and the prospects
are that a match will be made between
him and Tom Sharkey. The proposal
made to FitZsimmons by the National
Sporting club was that he engage in a
ten-round contest with Sharkey in tins
city some time in December for purse
of $4,000.
This was the reply received from Mar
fin Julian. FitZsimmons' manager:
New York, Oct. 16.-TO J. j. Groom,
San Francisco-Will match Fitzsimmons
against Sharkey on the following condi-
tons: Purse of $4,000, winner to take
MI. and $1,000 for our training and trav-
cling expenses; club to deposit $1,000 for
felt on signing articles, balance to be put
up ten days before the match. Marquis
of Queensbury rules to govern. Elther
Silcr or Houseman of Chicago to referee.
The match must take place before De
cember /, on account of our match win
Corbctt. (Signed) MARTIN JULIAN"
The National Sporting club has com
piled with FitzsiNmons' demands to the
extent of placing the $4,000 i'll the hands
of local sporting man, but it firmly de-
clincs to allow FitZsimmons more than
$500 for expenses. Sharkcy's only OBJ
lection is to having the referee selected
at this stage of the proceedings. 1t is
thought that it will be only a day or two
till Sharkcy and FitZsimmons are match
ed. In later wire Julian favored De
ccmber s or for the contest.

BILLY WILSON'S FIRST.
He Made His Initial Speech in the Cam
paign, for Sound Money.

Charleston, w; Va, Oct. 17.-Post-
master General Wilson made his first
speech in the campaign here this after
noon in the court house, where a large
crowd gathered to greet him. When
Mr.. Wilson arose to speak the crowd
cheered him loudly. He made strong
appeal for the gold standard and was
cheered repeatedly in the course of his
remarks. One of the first things he
said in his speech was that he was a
democrat and not a populist. He de-
nounced the Chicago convention and the
platform on which Mr.. Bryan was
nominated and said it was nothing on
earth but a populist convention and a
populist platform, and that it was an
almost exact copy of the pOpulist plat
form of 1892.
Mr.. Wilson said Mr. Bryan was an
eloquent speaker, an able debater, an eX
tremist and entirely too young Il man to
be president of the United States. He
quoted a large number of authorities.
democratic party, and that on the Bird of
November he would vote for six demo-
cratic electors and not for two populists
and four democrats, as a large number
of people in his county were going to do.
In the course of his speech he paid a
high tribute to Secretary Carlisle and
President Cleveland, both of whom, he
said, would stand as faithful servants
of the democratic party and were no
more traitors to the party than Gen.
Robert e. Lee was to the Confederate
army.

BIG BOAT BURNED.

Cleveland, O.. Oct. 1S.-A special from
Sturgeon Bay says the big steamer Aus
tralasia. of this city, was burned last
night on Lake Michigan and now lies
at the bottom of White Fish bay. The
steamer, which was valued at 100000.
and was loaded with 1000 tons of coal
for Milwaukee, caught fire about IL
o'clock last night.
The Australasia was then in sight of
land. Full steam was put on and an eff
fort made to beach the vessel, the crew
in the meantime making a terrific fight
against the flames. At last shoal water
was reached just as the lifesaving crew
arrived ut the vessel and reached the
crew. The Australasia soon afterwards
sank. The vessel and cargo are counted
a total loss.

NEBRASKA LOST TO BRYAN.

NEbRASNA 1ItN ~ DIN Il AN.
Exceptionally satisfactory to republi-
cans are the late reports from Nebraska.
1t was not so very long ago that visitors
to national headquarters flom that state
expressed grave doubt ms to the proba-
bility of carrying it. Now the Nebraska
visitors are unanimously of II different
mind. q. w. Mcdonald of Lincoln was
among the NcbraSkans ut headquarters
yesterday, and from an intimate knowl-
edge of local conditions gave detailed
report that made the national commit
teemen stronger in their faith i'll carry
ing the state of Bryan. Two months
ago Mr. Mcdonald was one of those who
expressed small hope of carrying Ne
braska, but the developments of the lat
ter part of the campaign have changed
his opinion.
According to Mr.. Mcdonald, there are
great many strong silver men in Ne
braska who are going to vote against
Bryan. Some of them are men who
are warm friends of the democratic can
didatc, but. as election day draws nearer.
bilitics that may follow his election.
Such silver men believe free silver might
| be all right in time, but are alarmed at
what is likely to happen in the interim
| if Bryan should he elected. This opin-
ion. Mr.. NJ, Donald says, is far-reachng.
He also says that many populists are
coming back into the republican ranks
every day. There are still some coun-
ties, he says, where the situation is very
bad, such counties being the hotbeds of
populiSm. but taking the general situa-
ton into consideration, he thinks there
is no longer any doubt whatever about Il
republican plurality.
The reports following the sending of
eastern stamping talent into the far
western and coast States-this being the
first time speakers have ever been sent
to the slope by the republican national
committcc-arc constantly increasing the
confidence of the campaign managers re-
gnrding the section that was practically
hopeless short time ago.

The number of electoral votes conceded

The number necessary to elect is 224.
Thus the official statement of the silver

addition of fourteen votes from their

DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT CON
rINnEh

The democratic leaders practically con-
code the defeat of their presidential can
date in a table given to the press on
Thursday last from the campaign head
quarters in Washington. This table
showed the number of members of the
house of representatives which the DEM
,ucratic managers assert they expect TO
elect This statement confirmed sus-
picion that has for some time found place
with the republican managers that the
democrats had abandoned Mr.. Bryan and
were concentrating their energies upon
-Sn attempt to control congress. The
statement to which Chairman Hanna
yesterday gave official sanction was.
thercupon. prepared. In this statement
attention is called to the fact that the
free silver democratic congressional table
contained but s of the 22 members from
Illinois, : of the II members from Michi-
gan. ! of the 81 members from New
York, of the II from Iowa, 3 of the II
from Ohio, > out of 30 in Pennsylvania,
- out of 10 in Wisconsin, | from Massa-
chusetts, | from New Jersey and none
from the states of Connecticut, Della
ware, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon
Rhode Island and Vermont.
II goes without saying, say the repub-
lican managers, that Il party which ad,
nitS il can not elect more than one-third
40 onC-siXih of the members Of congress
from any given state, has no eNpecta'
ton of carrying that state for the pres,
idential nominee. Usually candidates
for congress poll larger vote than the
presidential candidate. since every man
has his personal friends to whom he can
appeal for the certain support which they
wonld not give for party reasons.

managers in Washington and given I,
