WELTER- R-WEIGHT FIGHT.
The Olympic Club May Match Green
and Ryan for Fifteen-Round


Superintendent Kennedy of the Olympic
Club has already commenced to negotiate
for talent for the boxing tourname Mt,
which will be held at Mechanics Pavilion
in April or Nav. In all proba bility the
event of the evening will be a fifteen-round
contest between Tommy Ryan and George
Green. The sporting people of New York
are of the opinion that Ryan would have
tolerably easy game to dispose OF Green,
but the Green of the present day is an
entirely different man from the Green of a
few years ago, who fought the mysterious
Billy Smith. The superintendent of the
Olympic Club is very anxious to bring
Green and Ryan together and if the East
ern man is willing to accept good purse
and will fight the Californian at the welter-
weight limit, his friends OF the East will
have q chance TO wager large sums OF
money on their favorite, as the sporting
fraternity of this City will back the
olympic boy strongly against any man in
his class. 1t was rumored last evening
that tGe club intended to match Needham
and Green, but such a report was circu-
lated by the friends of Needham and has
no foundation in fact.
The Manhattan Athletic Club will give
a trSt-class athletic entertainment at
Woodward Pavilion on Friday evening.
The boxers who will contest are the star
performers of the State and as they are in
frst-ciass condition the lovers of good
amateur sport can safely count upon sec
ing hrst-class evenings fistic entertain
ment.

OF st. Andrews Society, be made men,
Der of the committee. The resolution of
the Caledonian Club appointing the mon
ument committee Of twenty empowered
com mittee TO add another twenty names
and he wanted President Wilkie made
one of the twenty. He moved to that
effect and the motion was carried.
The resolution was then adopted and
the chairman appointed James McNab,
ex- president st. Andrews Society, John
+. Kennedy, ex-chief Caledonian Club,
and Y. e. Lawson, the permanent secre-
tary, as the committee of three.
A resolution was adopted that COM
mittee of three be appointed to select the
additional nineteen names to act on the
monument committee and Chief McNeill
OF the Caledoniaa Club, President Wilkie
of 81. Andrews Society and Chairman
Boyd OF the monument committee were
appointed.
Chief McNeill then explained what had
already been done and how it was proposed
to raise funds The CaledonIan Club had
donated $1,000 and there was $3.50 In the
treasury of st. Andrews Society, which
had been handed over by the defunct
Burns Club. Several small subscriptions
had already been promised by letter and
verbally, and the Caledonian Club had
agreed to defray the current expenses of
the committee until the annual gathering
and games in May. The receipts of the
annual gathering and games this year,
and each year till the total amount was
subscribed for the monument, would be
handed over to the committee by the
club. st. Andrews Society was to give in
the near future an entertainment on a
large scale, the proceeds to be given to the
fund, and it was proposed 10 hold q grand
Burns festival IN the fall. which would
bring in great deal of money. Other
plans had been proposed which could be
discussed later. He felt that the spirit of
enthusiasm in the committee was equiva-
lent TO having the monument built.
A few members put their names down
on the subscription list, and including the
$1,000 from the Caledonian Club and $3.50
in the treasury of st. Andrews Society
the total amount subscribed was over
$500,

TRIED To KILL
A SHIPM MASTER
Nashville Grant Brought
Here TO Answer for
His Crime.
A Murderous Assault Commit
ted at Port Pirie,
Australia.
Captain Killman Had a Narrow
Escape From Death at the Hands
of Negro Sailor.

The steamship Alameda, which arrived
yesterday from Sydney, Australia, brought
q desperate wouId-be murderer in irons to
be tried before the United States courts.
The prisoner is Nashville Grant, a negro
sailor, who stabbed Captain Killman OF
the American bark Topgallant while on q
recent voyage to Port Pirie, Australia.
Grant shipped at Port Townsend for the
trip to the colonies. and early in the voy.
age began to show an ugly disposition.
He was surly and refused to do work as
signed to him, and Captain Killman told
him several times that unless he obeved
orders he would be put in irons.
On September 80 Grant tried 10 sharpen
q sheath knife in the carpenters shop and
threatened to kill "Chips" when the use
OF the latter's appliances was refused.
Fearing trouble, Captain Killman ordered
Grant to give up the weapon, and, on mis-
refusal, had him put in irons. Grant
begged to be released, promising to behave
himself and give up the knife if allowed
his liberty.
The master finally relented and Grant
went back to work.
On October 3. the day of his release,
Grant went to the quarterback ostensib!y
cine that he had requested. The captain
spoke with the negro for q moment and
then turned and vent into the cabin,
where he was followed by the sailor.
A moment later yell of "Murder!"
came from the captains quarters, and
Second Mate Brown dashed into the
cabin to find the master of the bark on
the deck with Grant on top of him pre-
pairing to beat his brains out with a sjove
leg. Brown struck the negro and the lat
ter LETT the PROSTATE captain, who was
covered with blood, and chased the m ate
out on deck. He had just caught Brown
and was preparing to stab him when
others OF the crew took hand AID dis
armed the would-be murderer. He was
ironed and chained to the deck.
1t was found that Captain Killman had
received seven stabs, three about the head
and four in the body. When the vessel
reached Port Pirie the consular agency
at Adelaide was notified and measures
taken to secure Grants return to this coun-
try for trial.
When the dispositions of the crew were
taken at Port Pirie, it developed that Grar t
had companion who abetted him in his
mutinous conduct and that both of them
had tried to STIR up rebellion mong the
crew. The other man will be arrested and
sent here for trial.
Grant is in charge of the United States
Marshal, and will bs arraigned when the
Topgallant returns, in about four months.
When the Alameda left Captain killman
had nearly recovered from his wounds.

Colin NJ. Boyd of the Monu-
ment Committee.

to the object of the meeting he said he
was ready to receive nominations for the
position of chairman of the committee
Colin NJ. Boyd said that it was the wish
of every one who had the success of the
movement at heart that Chief McNeill
should be permanent chairman, and he
moved that he be appointed. which was
seconded by D. r. Macdonald.
Chief McNeill said that he fully appre-
ciated the honor. but as there were men
on the committee who had been ihstru-
mental in building up the club almost
from It's organization and had been the
leading spirits in every movement tend
ing to advance the interests of Scotch
societies and the best interests of the
municipality and State. he thought that
one OF them would pe more fitted to oc-
cupy the position. He had been instru-
mental in getting such an important COM
mittee together, which was one of the
most important steps in the movement as
he telt sure such committee could not
fail to accomplish anything it undertook.
He respectfully declined the honor
John f. Kennedy then moved that Colin
M. Boyd be appointed permanent chair
man and in doing SO he paid a high COM
pilment to the popular ex-chief for what
he had done FOR the club, the City and
State.
William Nicol and d. R. Macdonald
rose simultaneously to second the motion.
which was carried by acclamation amid
applause. Chief McNeiu warmly con-
graduated ex-Chief Boyd on resigning the
chair 10 HIM, and the latter expressed his
thanks Tor the honor conferred upon him
in fitting terms.
Chief McNeill nomipa ated Y. C. Lawson
as permanent secretary, and George
Davidson seconded the nomination, which
was unanimously carried amid applause.
The secretary briefly returned thanks.
a resolution was submitted that the
chairman appoint a committee OF three
TO recommend the rules of order, p,r-
manent organization and mode of pro-
cedure.

put, asked that Andrew Wilkie, president

WATT GIVES REASONS,
Endeavorers Cannot Stop Over
in Southern California
Going Home.
This Would Be- Obviated by the
Passage of the Anti.Scalping
Amendment.

Rolla V. Watt, chairman of the Six
teenth International Christian Endeavor
committee, explained further yesterday
his official interest and the interest of
Christian Endeavorers in general in the
bill to amend the law so as to prohibit the
scalping OF railroad tickets. He said:
Hooters of tickets cannot stop on the
return except on the Northern lines as
follows: west OF Banff on the Canadian
Pacific, west of Havre on the Great
Northern, west of Livingston on the
n orthern Pacific and west of Shoshone
Falls on the Oregon Short Line. There is
no stopover on the return trip on the
Central Pacific or the Southern Pacific
lines. This will prevent those who come
over the central routes from seeing South
ern California except at a large expense
unless the rules are moderated.
I'VE will do everything we can to have
them changed.
This is the natural precaution taken
by railroads to prevent the tickets being
frightiully scalped. The railroads are
occasion OF large gatherings. The rates
are open to all, and this is no reflection on
Christian Endeavorers, for the officers and
committees OF this organization have
always made their best efforts to secure
fair dealings with the railroad companies
on these railroad rates.
The same trouble" concluded Nh.
Watt, occurs every year. / thought that
II this anti-scalping amendment were
passed it would do away with all this diff
tculty. l am as sure of it as / am Of
well, of my name"
The above results are shown by the
schedule issued by Manager Caldwell.
Some action, according to Mr. Watt, will
be necessary before the tickets are placed
on sale or Christian Endeavorers will not
be able to visit one of the most delightful
sections OF California. Mr.. Watt declined
a change and extend stop-over privileges
in this State.

cism by James NJ. Pryce.
James NJ. Pryce of New York, speaking

night in the hall of the Academy of

conveyed in good plain English. He con.

/
Springfield, Mass, May 19-John G.
Peene, jr., who claims to be the mayor
Of Yonkers N. Y, reported to Conduc-
tor Miller of the Montreal express due
here at sos this evening that he had
been robbed of $4,000 just before the
train reached this city Conductor Mil
ler notified officer McCallin, but while
the latter was looking for Peene the
latter saw a man boarding the 6:24
train for Boston and ran after him.
The man saw Peene first. however,
and lodged in and about the cars until
the train pulled out, when he boarded
it and got away. Peene by this time
had his loss scaled down to 1000, but
was in too much of hurry to state
how it happened, and before the police
man could question him he took the
6:33 train for New York. He refused to
give the police description of the man
or give them any details of the affair.
1t was learned by the train crew that
Peene and three other men played pok-
er nearly all the time they were on the
train and the man whom Peene ac-
cuses of robbing him was one of the
party.

Sensational Facts Contained In the Secret
Archives of the State Depnrtment.

Washington, May 1S.-The secret ar
chives of the state department which
have held the consular report in the
Cuban war from the public were par
TALLY disclosed to-day by Senator For
aker of Ohio. During the past week the
debate in the senate has been pregnant
with intimations and innuendoes of re-
ports from United States officials in
Cuba held at the state department
which, if published, would disclose a
condition on Cuban soil which would
influence public opinion in a decided
manner.
The facts therefore, which Senator
Foraker announced without stating
from whom they came created a stir.
Especially startling was the letter from
Secretary Olney, in which this country
offered mediation to Spain and the re-
fusal Of that country to accept the prof
fered aid
While one of the consular reports
was read without the name of the
author being disclosed it is stated to be
communication from Consul General
Lee, which fully sets forth his idea of
the condition of affairs.
Il cannot understand the truth of
the claim that all provinces of the
island are paciffed except that of San
tiago de Cuba, because there are more
insurgents at this time than some
months ago, and 1 do not think it a fair
inference to draw from existing con-
ditions that the war is nearly ended.
The impossibility of eXpelling the
Spanish troops from this island by force
OF arms is well known to them and
they do not propose to risk the lives
of their men. 1 conclude that the war
will drag its weary length as long as
the Cubans can dig for provisions to
sustain themselves.
No one can fully appreciate the sit
uation without beinT here in person.
The number of poor, distressed. starv-
ing women, children and old men of
all races have greately increased in
this city within the past few weeks
while in other points on the island the
suffering has been proportfonately
greater"
