KELLY BESTS FREDERICK.
Lively Fifteen-R Ound Boxing Bout at
the Polo Athletic Club.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-There were 1000
people at the Polo Athletic Clubs boxing
bouts tonight. George Monroe bested John
ME Johnson in six hot rounds. Mike Foley
the sailor, got a well-earned decision over
Nelson Frazier in the second bout.
Sammy Kelly and Patsy Broderick then
entered the ring. They were announced to
go at n6 pounds, but both were over weight.
In the first round Kelly, by fast and clever
work, gained decided lead. Broderick
picked up lot of lost ground in the fourth
by forcing the fighting. In the next four
rounds each landed on head and body and
some very heavy counters ensued. Kelly's
blows were straight and frequent, while
Broderick's were more forceful, though less
frequent AT the close of the ninth round
Broderick was pretty we'll marked up, while
Kelly did not show a scratch. Kelly sent
his left frequently to the face in the next
round and started the blood flowing afreSh
from PatSey'S nose, but BrOderick sent back
several good ones on Sammy's face. Left
and right upper cuts from Kelly were the
features of the twelfth round, at the close
of which Broderick landed a good left on
Sammy's neck. In the thirteenth round
Broderick became amazingly strong and
forced the fighting, which surprised Kelly.
The latter very tired, and kept upon
the defensive all the time. Broderick had
not strength enough to keep up the pace,
and the round ended with Kelly guarding
his face. Broderick bled copiously from the
mouth in the fourteenth round and rushed
with both hands. Kelly kept showing his
left in the face and chin, and Broderick
sent over three swings on the side of Kelly s
head. They lacked steam and did very little
damage. tn boys came up gamely in the
fifteenth i last round. Each of them
showed the weakening effect of their efforts,
and neither had strength enough to land a
telling blow. The referee declared Kelly
the winner.

James N. Tyner's Report to the POST

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-James N. Ty-
ner assistant attorney general for the Post
office Department, in his annual report to
Postmaster General Gary. urges that the
management of the prosecution for offenses
against the postal laws should devolve on
the Office of the assistant attorney general
for the Postofice Department instead of
the Department of Justice as at present.
During the fiscal year pa fraud orders

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The President Besieged by POIiti-
clans from the South.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Senator Deboe
and DIR. Godfrey Hunter of Kentucky, saw
the President to-day and it was agreed that
Z. T. Frank should be appointed collector
of internal revenue for the Owensboro dis
trict. DIR. Hunter expects to be appointed
minister to Guatemala in few days. There
was an unusually large number of people
at the White House all anxious to see the
President. The South was especially well
represented, there being delegations from
Texas. Mississippi, Florida and other
States.
The President is much concerned over the
representations that many persons are in
a starving condition in Alaska and it is
probable the matter will be fully discussed
at the next Cabinet meeting. Secretary
Alger saw the President, but not alone on
the Alaskan matter. The secretary says
that the only thing the government can do
now is to formulate a plan and make a
recommendation to Congress, asking for an
appropriation, as there is no money or ships
at the disposal of the government to pur-
chase and send supplies to the Alaskan suf-
fererS.
In the afternoon President Mckinley gave
considerable attention to diplomatic mat
ters. John A. Kasson, who is negotiating
the reciprocity treaties, John w. Foster
who is representing the United States on
the Boring sea conference, and Assistant
Secretary Day, were at the White House
at different times. The President is pre-
pairing preliminary notes for his first mes
matters which relate to foreign affairs
Judge Day has read the Spanish reply and
briefed the most important features, which
he has laid before the President.

portant development in the status of the
next General Assembly to-day was the de-
cision in the Wood county case, which once
more removes that county from the doubt
ful list to the Republican column. The de-
cision has significance which cannot be
expressed. inasmuch as it puts an end to the
talk about other contests on the same
grounds Chairman Nash does not believe
the case will be appealed by the Democrats,
since the law in the case is plain There
was some talk of an Injunction against the

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 6.-Since it seems
to be settled that the Republicans have a
majority of five on Joint ballot, the rumors
are revived about combine of certain he
publican members of the Legislature with
the seventy Democrats for the election of
some one other than Senator Hanna on the
joint ballot. When Senator Foraker was in

two years ago for his present position in the
Senate there was no legislative caucus. 1t
Is announced now that there will be a Re
publican senatorial caucus when the Legis-
Iature cOnvenes next January Senator
Hanna was Endorsed at the last state con-
Nention for the Senate but the old fac
uonal light that formerly existed between
sherman and Foraker's following and later
between the friends of Mckinley and For

intense feeling than heretofore.

495 Defective Ballots.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-The Board of
Supervisors OF Elections of Somerset coun-
ty met to-day and found that 495 ballots
lacked the signature of the judges as re-
quired by law. The board adjourned until
Monday, when Attorney General Clabough
is expected TO be present. There is a con-
fiict in the law, one section declaring that
no ballot shall be counted which lacks the
signature of a judge, while another section
states that such ballots shall be counted
1t will probably be taken to the courts by
the Democrats. If the courts declare these
ballots illegal it may affect the result in
several counties.
