Facilities Demanded.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 29-At a meeting
of the Atlanta Clearing House Association
to-day q resolution was unanimously adopt
ed calling a meeting of the bankers
throughout the South to assemble in At
lanta Or Dec. Is to consider the question of
currency reform. Every bank in Atlanta
was represented and the meeting unani-
mously adopted resolutions which are in
substance as follows: THAT the time has
arrived for the South to demand of Con-
gress better banking facilities under a just
and equitable federal law; that the United
States government should retire from the
banking business and the whole system of
tho national finances be readjusted on such
q sound and scientific basis as will give
each section of our common country a cir
eulating medium adequate to its business
and based upon it's commercial assets; that
noteholderS and general creditors should be
protected under federal laws, and that the
measure of value should be so definitely
and permanently settled as to make all our
currency paper and specie, good in any
part of the world; that there should be no
discrimination between state and national
banks, the former to have the same prvi-
leges of note issue as the latter, but under
federal supervision"

BOXING In ENGLAND.
Victory for One American Pugilist
and Defeat for Another.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-At the National
Sporting Club to-day Spike" Sullivan. the
American boxer, defeated Jimmy Curran,
the Englishman, on points in a twenty
round go. Later in the evening Ben Jor-
dan. the feather-weight champion of Eng
land, defeated Tommy White. of Chicago,
In a protracted fight of nineteen rounds.
Sullivan and Curran met at 1856 pounds for
a purse of e4OO $4,000 and substantial
side bet Jordan and White met at 124
pounds for a purse of e700 ($3.5OO) and a side
bet of something more than G2O0 Isl ,0O0)
This was Whites first appearance in Eng
land.
The betting favored White in the White
Jordan contest. He is taller than his OPP
ponent and appeared to be cleverer, scoring
more rapidly in the early rounds. Jordan
however, never wasted a blow and always
left the marks of his handiwork. He did
plenty of execution with both hands, and at
close quarters he weakened while he was
much distressed in the nineteenth round,
when Whites second, Barry, gave in for
him.
In the Sullivan-Curran bout the latter
maintained good lead for the first dozen
rounds, but his exertions told on him dur
ing the remainder of the fight. Toward the
close Sullivan was the aggressor. He won
after Il close contest. Among the support
ers of White present were Tod Sloan, the
jockey, and Captain Anson, of baseball
fame.

Threw Up the Sponge.

BALTIMORE, Nov 29.-The first boxing
bout held within the city limits for more
than year took place tonight in the AS
sembly rooms of the Academy of Music,
under the auspices of the Eureka Athletic
Club. The star bout of the evening was
between Joe Cans, the Baltimore colored
middle weight, and Stanton Abbott of Eng
land. The latter was fat and Cans found
him an easy mark. After two rather unin-
teresting rounds the colored lad landed hard
on the point of the jaw and the English
man went groggy. Cans landed again in
the same spot and Abbott went over on his
face, but managed to get to his feet before
round through and much to every ones sur
prise showed up strong in the fourth for
about two minutes, when Ganss trip
hammer left caught him again and he
dropped. He was getting to his feet slowly
and painfully when his seconds threw up
the sponge

WHERE 100000 MEN DIED.
Prof. Walters Explores Vast Prehis-
tOric BATTLE-GROUND.

WICHITA, Kan. Nov. 29.-Prof. Edwin
Walters, an archaeologist and geologist, at
the head of d party of scientists has been
investigating a remarkable deposit of
human bones in the northeast corner of the
Choctaw country in the Indian territory
that was discovered by workmea nearly
year ago while the Kansas City, Pittsburg
X Gulf Railway was being built through
that territory. To-day he made the an-
nouncement that a prehistoric battle oc-
CURED there, in which from 6OOOO to 100000
warriors were killed. The area of the tract
in which this vast number of bodies lie
buried has been determined by sounding
and digging to be thirty acres in extent
The site of this prehistoric battle-ground is
near Redland, /. T.. and on the south side
of the Arkansas river. The river at that
point runs east and west and divides the
Choctaw from the Cherokee country.
Extensive excavations bring to light
great numbers of skeletons, curious Speci-
mems of pottery and vast quantities of
stone battle Instruments 1t has been as
certained that there are between 1000 and
$500 bodies to the acre Prof. Walters at
iirst supposed he had found a great burying
ground of the mound builders, but when
he made the discovery that nearly every
skull was pierced with one or more spear
points or broken in with stone axes, and
javelins, he was forced to the conclusion
that one of the worlds greatest battles had
been fought here. This accorded fully with
his theory that over 2OUUO years ago two
great races contended for supremacy in
North America. One, he says, was the
mound builders, who occupied all of the
territory east of the Mississippi river and
were gradually pushing their lines west
ward. The other was the Mayas, who lived
originally in Central America, but at var
ious periods overspread the country now in
cluded in Arizona, southern California, the
table lands of New Mexico and Texas and
southern Colorado
Prof. Walters has spent seventeen years
locating and making a map of the battle
line, and declares that he has found a
series of fortifcations extending from
Omaha. Neb., clear to the Gulf of Mexico
These fortihcations face each other in and
near Omaha, Kansas City, Neodesha. Kan.

NOT TAXABLE PROPERTY.
of the Clergy Cannot Be
Assessed I'm Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov. 29.-Archbish-
op Katzer won a victory over the munici-
pality to-day in his suit against the city
of Milwaukee and City Treasurer Milbrath
to have the tax levied against his official
residence declared illegal Judge Fisher, of
Racine who occupied the bench in place
of Judge Johnson, decided that the city had
no right to tax the diocesan residence.
The contention of the attorneys for the
archbishop was that the property
was church property and as such
not taxable under state law. The
city's representatives argued that the prop
erty could not be considered church prop
erty. The fact that the title was in. the
name of Archbishop hatzer was relied on
to show the taxable nature of the prop
erty, and the further fact that the proper
ty has no church on it and is not used for
religious meetings. The case is looked on
as a test of the right of the cities and
towns of the State TO tax the property oc-
cupied by the residences of the bishops, and
the outcome was awaited with considerable
interest. The city is expected to appeal.

THE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Mcclure Decides Against the
OIL ComnanY ON Gms Maate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 29.-Judge Nc
Clure to-day rendered a decision in the gas
waste cases against oil operators which is
probably the most important ruling yet
made in Indiana courts on that question.
The test case is the one against the Ohio
Oil Company. and is one of the thirteen
suits filed against oil men operating in the
Alexandria pool. Two weeks ago the at
torneys for the defense filed answer to the
charge of waste OF gas, questioning in their
answer the constitutionality of the law.
Judge Mcclure at last handed down a de-
cision establishing the constitutionaiity of
the section under which the action was
brought. The section imposes a fine of $500
for every ten days on any one who allows
gas or oil to escape from a gas or oil well
after it has been drilled in two days The
defense then filed another answer in which
it contended that the law did not cover the
case in question, the act reading gas or
oil WELL" while the wells at Alexandria
were both oil and gas wells, a well which
was not even so much as thought Of when
the act was passed. In their answer they
also set forth the claim that the gas is not
