CHAIRMAN HOOTED.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Socialists
stampeded the Hungarian protest meet
ing against the Latimer shooting last
night Early in the evening one of the
Socialists attempted 10 introduce resolu-
tions which had been prepared, and the
chairman Of the meeting refused TO
receive them. The result was a great
clamor. The chairman was Kissed and
hooted. and there was a threatening
movement towards the presiding officer
by those in the hall. There was only
one policeman in the hall, and the chair
man called on him TO eject the dis
turbers.
Then bedlam broke loose, and 1t seemed
as if the officers Of the meeting would re-
ceive injuries at the hands Of the angered
Socialists. The chairman averted this
by allowing the men to remain. Quiet
was restored for while. but at $3.50
o'clock another outbreak occurred, and
the chairman and other officers abdi-
Gated, and left the Socialists in charge OF
the hall.

PETER JACKSoN'S WILLINGNESS.

New York, Sept. 17-Peter Jackson
was interviewed yesterday before his
departure for California. He had been
out of the country SO long that his po-
sition in the pugilistic world was well
nigh forgotten. Jackson. to use his own
words, has come here in search of fight.
He is out for everything in his class.
Come one, come ALL" says he; none ex-
cepted, and with no lodging for the best
OF the big ones"
Yes said he. I've come here TO fight.
It's my business. and that's what I'm
here for. I'll take one, or I'll take 'em
all, one by one. I've got money to back
me. and I'm looking for battle"
Jackson, TO be sure. has money behind
him, Curiously enough it lies in Wall
street, and If he can pull off a fight he
can raise all the money he needs Much
of his old-time popularity sticks TO him
and the Wall street men have guaran-
teed To stick by him.
You won't dodge Fitz?" some one
asked hm on the pier.
I'm fight anyone" he responded.
'bitZsimmons included?"
Jackson threw out his chest. breathed
hard, and replied: MI Fitzsimmons
will be more than welcome"
