Palmer and nrurnhr.

LONDON. Oct. 12.-The fight between
"Peddler'' Palmer of England and Johnny
Murphy of Boston for the bantam cham
pionship Of the world took place tonight
at the sporting club, and was won by
Palmer. Both men were in excellent con-
dition, and each weighed 1141e pounds.
Palmer was good favorite in the bet
ting at odds of to 4 on him.
The Englishman forced the fighting
from the outset of the battle. He was
much the quicker in his deliveries, and
hustled Murphy around the ring in lively
style. In the first two rounds Murphy
failed to land a single good blow. Never
theless, he stood up bravely and took
punishment pluckiy as Palmer rained
blows upon him with his right and left
The plucky Yankee boy was heartily
applauded.
In the third round. Murphy landed once
or twice, but did no apparent damage to
his opponent Murphy started in the
fourth round with more advantage, but
he was terribly slow. Round after round
Palmer rushed Murphy about the ring,
but the American did not show that he
had been punished much until the end
of the twelfth round. Then he went to
his corner very tired. Before time was
called, however, he pulled himself to-
gether and made a splendid fight in the
thirteenth round. Despite his pluck he
was too terribly battered to recover per
manently, and Palmer had the battle in
hand to the finish
At the end of the twentieth round Pal
mer was declared the winner on points.
Murphy was not knocked out. Palmer's
seconds were Baxter and Fitzpatrick,
while Craig and Solly Smith acted in a
similar capacity for Murphy.

FROM THE GOLD STANDARD.
BourISe Gives it Out as His Unvar-

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Between six and
seven thousand people tonight heard Hon.
W. Boul11e Cochran at the Coliseum,

livered by Governor Altgeld, in which the
Illinois executive answered the arguments
advanced by Hon. Carl Schurz and Mr.
Cochran. Tn speaker was in excellent
voice and was heartily cheered when he
stepped on the platform.
After the audience had sung America"
the New York orator said:
L am, at the outset, confronted with
the difficulty which always befalls me
when l study Populist production
am always at a loss to know just what
the Populist means, and of the injuries

and a Democrat is this, and 1 might add,
between a Populist and a sensible man

facts and then proceeds to talk on them;
the Populist begins to talk, continues to
talk, and never takes any pains to as
certain the facts about what he is talk

IF there can be any reason for this
Populistic propaganda whatever which is
now sweeping across the country cham
pioned by Bryan and Altgeld, it must
be that somebody is to be benefited at
the expense of somebody else"

same day that Mr. Bryan was there, he
said he left behind him question which

NEW YORK, Oct. FIN the Walcott-
Scaldy Bill fight at Maspeth tonight Wal
colt was given the decision in the seven
teenth round.
Two good bouts were provided by the
management The opening was a ten
round go between Dick O'Brien of Bos-
ton and Dick Moore of st. Paul; the
main attraction. a twenty-round contest
between Joe Walcott, the coiored weiter-
weight champion, and William Quinn,
better known as Scaldy Bilr' OF the
PENNSYLVANIA coal regions, a eolored
prodigy.
O'Brien seemed to have Moore at his
mercy IN the first round, but Moore came
to in the second round and punched his
man pretty hard on the jaw.
O'Brien came up pretty fresh in the
third round. and they mixed things up
in great style. Moore was tired when
the bell rang.
O'Brien had the best of the fourth
round.
Both men INDUCED in hard lighting in
the fifth round until O. Brien sent a cross
counter and Moore went down. The ref
cree counted him out
Walcott was the first to appear in the
main bout. He was seconded by HOWE
Aodgekins, Tommy Connolly and Tim
Collins.
''Scaldy Bill' was looked after by Char
ley White, Sam Bolen and Jim Johnson.
They were scheduled TO go twenty rounds
at 14S pounds.
''Scaldy' was nearly a head taller than
his antagonist. Walcott punched his man
hard and forced the fighting from the
start. 1t was a terrific go
Joe rushed at his man and landed hard
lefts on the body, bringing the right
and sent a couple of wild swings on Joe's
body.
''Scaldy" was very nearly gone when
the bell rang in the second. 1t was a
grand fight
WalcoIt was after his man like a de-
mon in the third, and twice sent him stag
gering against the ropes. Bill landed
two terrific swings that staggered Wal
colt and the crowd howled.
In the fourth. fifth and sixth Walcott
had the best of it, but "Scaldy" took his
punishment without flinching, while both
carried on an animated dialogue.
In the seventh the terrific punishment
seemed to be having its effect on Bill,
although he landed two rippers that
nearly sent Walcott off his feet. The
eighth was much the same.
Walcott came up smiling in the ninth,
and they mixed things up with terrific
swings. Scaldy was getting groggy when
the bell rang. Walcott in the tenth
punched his man all over the ring.
Scaldy was game to the core and took
his punishment like a glutton. 1t seemed
as If no man could stand the uppercuts
and punches on the. jaw and body. that
Walcott rained in the eleventh Again
the bell only just saved Scaldy in the
twelfth Three times in the thirteenth
Walcott sent his man down, but Bill
managed to stay out the time.
Scaldy was groggy but game in the
fourteenth and fifteenth, and took pun
ishment in an extraordinary way. Wal
colt knocked his man down again in the
sixteenth but could not put him out
Scaldy was completely daZed in the
seventeenth, and after Walcott had sent
him down three times the referee stopped
the brutal exhibition and gave Walcott
the decision.
