LONDON. Dec. 21.-The fight arranged
between Dick O'Brien and Dick Burge for
a purse Of $780, in addition to a G90O stake,
came off this evening at the Olympic Club,
Birmingham. Burge scaled in at LAG pounds
and O'Brien at 16O During the afternoon
there were disquieting rumors as to
oBrien's condition, and long odds were
freely laid on Burge. When the men entered
the ring it was seen that O'Bren was very
fat, while Burge was remarkably fit At the
end of the first round O'Brien was blowing
hard, and he did not improve matters in
the second. During the fourth round, when
Burge slipped in O'Brien's corner, the lat
ter. struck him lightly. A foul was claimed
and allowed, thus ending poor contest.
O'Sre ems hacker withdrew $500 he had
staked on him because the boxer had noe
properly trained. Burge consented to pro-
ceed with the match for the purse only.
Sporting Life tomorrow will say that the
match ought to have been declared off and
the Sportsman will describe the affair as
a Dantomime.
Prior to the meeting between Burge and
OBrien, Charles Miner, of New York, beat
Charles Tiliey, of London. in five rounds

PUGILISTS RESTRAINED
INJUNCTION ISSUED AGAINST TOMMY
TRACEY AND JOE WALCOTT.
Not Permitted to Fight at Chicago
Last Night, as observation-disclosures
FOuIed by O'Brien.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-The fight between
Tommy Tracey and Joe Walcott, scheduled
for this evening, did not come off as ad-
vertised. Efforts are now being made to
have it pulled off on Thursday evening, but
it is not certain they will be successful and
the actual date of the fight is still a mat
ter of doubt. The postponement of the fight
was brought about by the action of Judge
Brentano, of the Superior Court, who is
sued an order restraining the fighters from
engaging in any contest in the hall that
had been secured for the event and declar-
ing that if any effort was made to have
the fight he would instruct the sheriff to
raid the place. The order was the result
of a fight that has been in progress for
years between the city and Montgomery
Ward merchant whose place of business
is on Michigan avenue, opposite Battery d,
in which it was proposed to have the fight.
Some time ago Ward obtained from the Su-
preme Court of the State an order requiring
the city to tear down the building in which
the fight was to have been held, and which
has been the scene of fights innumerable.
The city has promised to tear down the
building, but has failed to keep it's prom
Use and when he found that it was about
to issue license for fight in the old
hall Ward applied to the court to stop it.
There will now be some difficulty in secur-
ing a hall for the fight as a number Of
those that would ordinarily be available
have been rented for the winter and cannot
be secured.

WHIPPING POST FOR THIEVES.
Provisions of Bill Introduced i'm the
Virginia Legislature.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 21-A whipping
post bill was introduced in the State Sem
ate to-day. The measure provides that all
persons convicted of petit larceny SHALL
instead of being punished as now provided
by law, be punished with not less than ten
nor more than thirty stripes, but in cases
Of convictions of females or male infants
under the age of fifteen years. it shall be
optional with said female and the parent
or guardian of said infant whether they
shall be punished with stripes or according
to statutes i'll force at this time; and If
there be no parent or guardian competent
in the opinion of the trial justice or court
to choose for said infant, and in every
case where any person is convicted is or
dered to be SO punished with stripes the
court may, in its discretion, order any por-
tion of the stripes to be given at the time
and require the convict, on his own re-
cognizance, to appear before the court at
some future day to receive the remaining
stripes; provided, that this act shall not
apply to persons over sixty-tive years of
age.
The measure is likely to give rise to a
great deal of discussion.

SMALLEY AN ALARMIST
LONDON TIMES MAN "CALLED DOWN,
BY SENATOR HAWLEY.
Sensational Speech Regarding the
Attitude Of the European Powers
Towards the United States.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-The New England
Society of the City of Brooklyn held its
seventeenth annual dinner tonight in cele-
bration Of the wo-hundred-and-sevent
seventh anniversary of the landing of the
pilgrims. Covers We're laid for $50 guests,
among whom were many ladies, the rela-
tives and friends of the members of the So
ciety. Thomas S. Moore, president of the
society, presided. At his right was Frank
s. Black Governor of the State. and at his
left Senator Joseph r. Hawley, of Connecu-
cut. Among the other guests were Supreme
Court Judge William Bartlett, st. Clair Nc
Kelway and George w. Smalley, of the Lon
don Times. The chief speaker of the even
ing was Governor Black. Senator Hawley
followed in response to the toast, "The Plain
People,"
George W. Smalley, correspondent of the
London Times, spoke on New and Old Eng
land,' and he caused a sensation by his
broad handling of the diplomatic relations
between this country and the countries on
the other side OF the water. He referred to
Clevelands Venezuelan message and de-
clared that England had shown a great deal
of forbearance in this affair. He declared
also that the continental powers had come
to think of the United States as a menace
to the peace of the world, instancing the in
terference of the United States in the Ven
ezuelan question, the attitude of the United
States toward Turkey in connection with
the Armenian affairs and Turkeys war with
Greece, its attitude with reference to Ha-
wall, and latterly the strong sentiments that
have been expressed by the American people
against Spain'S war in Cuba. He said that
so strong were the feelings entertained by
the continental powers against this country
that there was certain to be a combination
to oppose any action that the United States
government might attempt to take to en-
force compliance with its wishes, and asked
If it might not be well under such circum-
stances for the United States to get as close
as possible to England, the old and the new
England.
Senator Hawley took occasion, when the
excitement had subsided somewhat, to say
that he was extremely sorry that Mr.
Smalley had so misunderstood his own
country, an expression which was loudly
cheered

RIDE ON AN AVALANCHE.
Joe Bradley Slides Down Pixies Peak
and Lives to Tell the story.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Dec. 21--Joe
Bradley, a miner and prospector of Cripple
Creek was brought into this city yester-
day in critical condition, the result of rid
ing an avalanche on Pixies Peak last Fri
day. Bradley relates a terrible experience.
He says that a man whose name he did not
know was with himN coming over the noun
tain from Cripple Creek to Colorado
Springs When near the summit of the
peak the way became obscure and the two
men climbed to the top of an eminence en-
deavoring to find the trail. while at this
point" says Bradley, ''the whole mountain
side seemed to give lurch and at a terrific
speed moved downward. After what
seemed to me an age had elapsed / was
thrown against a stump and rendered un-
conscious. 1t was several hours before l re-
gained my senses and discovered a short
distance away a prospectors cabin. / could
not walk, being badly bruised and frozen,
but after prayer that / might die 1
dragged myself to the cabin, where / was
attended by the prospector. My companion
| did not see after the starting of the ava
lanche and he is surely lost" Searching
parties have endeavored to find Bradley's
companion, but as yet the body has not
been recovered.

M. PATENOTRE'S WIFE.
Although an American, She Will BE
Well Received ut Madrid.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Histories have
been current recently that the mission of
the new French ambassador at Madrid,
NJ. Patenotre, who recently closed his
service here, would be considerably en-
barrassed from the fact that he had mar
ried an American girl. 1t is stated, how
ever, that when similar story gained cir
culation in Madrid few weeks ago, it was
promptly and with apparent authority, de-
MED. The report, which was originally
printed in the French newspapers, was
copied in Madrid. Thereupon the Epoca,
the leading Conservative paper in Madrid.
the editor being the dean of the journalistic
community, took up the matter and gave
assurance that the American wife of the
French ambassador would be received with
every mark of consideration. Ii instanced
as a similar case that of the wife of the
Marquis Apezteguia, who was formerly
Miss Vincent OF New York, and as wife of
The well-known Span. sh leader has been
made Spanish grandee and a close associate
of the Queen. These American wives, the
Epoca asserted, in no way shared the SEN
timent of certain radical elements in Amer
lea favorable To the Cuban insurgents, and
they would be SHOWN every mark of official
and royal favor. Madame Patenotre was
formerly Miss Elverson, of Philadelphia.

The Colorado Statesman Reported to
BE Preparing to Attack the Presi-
dent Through Secretary Gage.
NEW CIvIL-SERvICE ORDER
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY MAY MODIFY
PRESENT REGULATIONS.
Senate Resolution and Proposed
Yesterday-The Revenue Service.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-TJnder cover OF
a feeble attempt to deny the report that
Senator Walcott has threatened to resign
his seat in the Senate, his friends are fur
nishing pretty good proof of the substantial
correctness of the story. They say the
senator is merely going to "smoke OUT the
President and force him either to break
with the bimetalllsts or with the gold-stand-
ard men and take his stand squarely with
one or the other. Senator Wolcott says the
President has informed him repeatedly
since his CWolcott'sl return from Europe
that he is in hearty sympathy with the
bimetallic proposition, and from that he
argues that if the executive is sincere Sec
retary Gage then must misrepresent the ad-
ministration in his advocacy of plan
whose cornerstone is the single standard.
The Colorado senator's programme will be
to attack, not the President, but Secretary
Gage, and ask that gentleman to relieve the
administration of embarrassment by re-
signing and then to stand back and sea
what happens Then, according to the VOL
colt plot, if the President stands by Sec
retary Gage Wolcott will abandon the ad-
ministration and cast his lot with the free
silverites, resigning his seat and returning
10 OOlOTaQO lOF d NllulcdtiOH u pIts1
the earnestness and sincerity of his flop.
The Star to-day, in its news comments on
Wolcotts proposed attack upon Mr.. Gage,
"The result will probably be that Mr..
Wolcott will find that he has misunderstood
the position of the President and will then
become dramatically offended at the ad-
ministration. His undertaking to represent
the administration after all he has said In
favor of free silver appears anomalous and
mischievous. The President can hardly be
in sympathy with both Secretary Gage and
the Colorado senator AS things are now
tending, the President will probably have to
break with one or the other of them, and
unless the President is misunderstood by
the leaders of his party and the persons
closest to him the break will not be with
the secretary of the treasury. After Mr..
Wolcott has had his say about Secretary
Gage and his financial policy it will be-
hardly consistent that both Mr.. Gage and
Mr.. Wolcott should be in touch with the
administration on the financial quefsion.
The collapse of the commission is wha. is
expected by most people, and this seems
the more probable when it is known that
Senator Chandler and Senator Wolcott
conferred together over Secretary Cages
statement about committing this govern-
ment more thoroughly to the gold stand
ard, and that the two senators sympathize
in their hostile feeling toward the policy
of the secretary of the treasury"

ACTION OF EASTERN BANKS.
Some Increasing Capital Stock and
Others Preparing to Decrease 1t.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The stockholders
of the Chase National Bank to-day decided
to increase the capital stock from $500 600 to
$1,000,0O0 in accordance with the recommen-
dation of the directors made a few weeks
ago. The increase will be made by the abb
sorption of part of the banks surplus and
undivided profits to that amount.
A dispatch to the Commercial Advertiser
from Boston says: 'The directors of the
Freeman's National Bank have voted to re-
duce the capital stock from $500 OO0 to $500 900,
provided the stockholders are willing. The
stockholders will hold a meeting on Jan. IL
to take action on the proposition. The Re-
we're National Bank contemplates a reduc-
tion Of capital stock from $l500,000 to $1,000,-
600, and other national banks it is believed
will take similar action. There is a move
ment on foot to merge five or six of the
smaller national banks into one large insti-
tuition. 1t is admitted that there is room
in Boston for at least one large bank. AT
present no bank in the city has $3.50 900 in
deposits. In and around Boston there are
sixty national banks.

forty of the foremost musicians of Kansas
City devoted several hours of their time
to the rendering of a classical musical pro-
gramme in the main hall of the City Work
house before one hundred workhouse pris-
oners. There was no effort at speech max
ing. Director Carl Busch simply an
nounced that the programme would begin
with one of Sousa's marches, adding that
he supposed all of those present knew
about Sousa. This was followed by an
overture by Suppe. the ''Zehda" waltz and
other compositions, the programme closing
with Kretschner'S coronation march. The
prisoners, many of whom We're sullen and
sneering at the beginning, applauded the
musicians vigorously at the close, and sew

given monthly, one at the workhouse and
one at the county iail.
