An Antipodeau Mill

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S-News
just received from Victoria, B. c., states
that Frank p. Slavin, the Australian
heavyweight, acted as referee in fight
on June 18th between Harry Slater and
Dick Case. The men were sent together
at o'clock in the morning in a ring
pitched in the woods about two miles
from town. Slater was told by his
seconds to wind the thing up in the third
round and in trying to carry out his in
structions he met his Waterloo. He was
sent to grass repeatedly and the crowd
becoming excited, closed in until the
fighters and referee had only about six
feet of room to get around in. Slavin
kept cool and when Slater measured his
length for the sixth or seventh time
Slavin picked him up and gave Case the
fight. Slater is the welterweight who
defeated Homer Mccoy. brother of Kid
Mccoy, in this city several weeks ago.

BATEMAN'S CHARGES
The Professor Seems to Enjoy His
Notoriety

NoCOr10Cy
~ LEWISTON, Me-, June 23-The speech
of Senator Allen in the United States
senate today denying Prof. Bateman's
charges against Mr.. Bryan and Bryan's $
explanation as to why he printed Bate
mans name to Aliens letter of notifl-
cation in the last campaign, have at
tracted wide attention in this city,
where Mr.. Bateman is well known. TO
the Associated Press representative to-
night Mr.. Bateman said: "Mr. Bryan
says he took my name from the newspa-
pers and added 1t to his letter of notifica-
tion. This is decidedly rich, and q
unique way of writing history. Itwould
have cost him only 2-cent stamp to
have found that did not sign the letter
and that I had promptly repudiated the
sentiments which it contained / shall
not strain myself to furnish Mr.. Bryan
any further proof. The forgery Of a
name to the letter lies between Mr.. Bry-
an and Mr.. Allen, and they can settle the
matter to suit themselves. Senator AL
lens TRADE in the senate yesterday Is
renewed proof that only the wounded
bird flutters. The lawyer who has hal
bad case usually abuses the opposing
counsel. I shall not retort in similar
language. I have not seen the full text
| of the senator's arraignment of myself
and therefore do not know the extent Of
his denials. Quite likely he denies ev-
erything in sight. 1t is almost as easy
work as to deny in fragments. The sen.
ator is an old hand at that business and
it strains neither his conscience nor his
constitution. trust that they may have
another field day in the senate over tn,
matter"

SOUTHERN VETERANS
GATHER BY THOUSANDS AT
NASHVILLE
The Champions Of the State Rights
Doctrine Want Truthful His
tory Written

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 23-The
morning trains brought several thou
sand people to the city to attend the an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans.
General John B. Gordon prefaced his
address at the business meeting with
an announcement of his intention to re-
sign as commanding general, but there
were cries of mo" from all parts of the
hall
Referring to the rapid growth of the
organization during the eight years
since he was first elected, from ten
camps to more than thousand, General
Gordon said: 'It is an army still, Mr..
President, but an army for the bloody
work Of war no longer. Its banners no
longer bear the flaming insignia of bat
tie. Its weapons no longer flash def
ance to the foe nor deal death to,oppos-
ing ranks. Its weapons are now the
pen without malice, the tongue without
aspersion and history without misrep-
resentation. Its aims are peaceful, pht-
lanthropic and broadly patriotic. Fail
ing after the most desperate defensive
struggle in human annals to establish
their cherished confederacy, these high
souled sons of the south offer this record
of devotion as the mobiles pledge of their
fealty to freedom and of their raedinese
to defend the republic of their fathers
"In conclusion, my comrades, let me
hope that the wise conservatism, the
spirit of magnanimity, which is always
the brightest gem in the crown of cour-
age, will mark your career in the future
as they have in the past
When General Gordon had concluded
his address General Joseph Wheeler
nominated General Gordon for re-elec-
tion and 1t was carried unanimously
The committee on credentials reported
1000 names Of those present and 1000
camps represented.
At the business meeting this after
noon it was voted to meet in Atlanta
next year. A resolution commendatory
Of the reign Of Queen Victoria was voted
down and the resolution of praise for the
queens jubilee was defeated,
Tomorrow the $4,000 ex-Confederates
and their friends will devote themselves
to social recreation.
The great parade occurs tomorrow
Ten thousand men will be in line Gov
Taylor and staff, Gov. O'Ferrall of vir-
ginia, the staff of Gov. Culberson OF

sented in the order in which they voted

TRUST LEGISLATION
CAUSES LABOR LEADERS SOME
ANXIETY
President Mckinley Speaks Strongly
In Favor Of the Right Of Labor
to Organize

NEW YORK, June pa washington
dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser
says: II regard the organization Of la
Dor az the natural and legitimate effort
to secure its rights" said President Nc
Kinley today.
This strong declaration in favor of or
ganized labor was made in the course of
a conversation with Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, and Frank Morrison, the secre-
tary Of the organization. Mr.. Gompers
and Mr.. Morrison came to the White
House about o'clock. They were ad-
mitted at once and the discussion be-
came so interesting that the president
neglected his drive. For an hour labor
interests and labor legislation were dis
cussed in all their varied phases. The
anti-pooling bill to restrain the opera
tion Of pools and trusts causes the labor
people some anxiety. President Com
pers explained that the labor organiza-
tions were afraid that they themselves
would be classed as trusts and the PEN
alties Of the act applied to them rather
than to the large combinations usually
known as trusts. He thought an amend
ment should be made specifically ex-
empting labor unions. President Nc
Kinley agreed that the labor unions
should be protected and spoke of meas
ures in which he had taken an interest
In former years. He did not, however,
seem to think there was much danger
Of their being classed as trusts or sub
jected to penalties.
"Unless you believe as some people
do," said Mr.. Gompers. that labor
unions are an evil, think you will agree
with me that their existence should not
be endangered by this BILL"
II do not desire to be classed with
those who consider trades unions an
evil" replied President Mckinley. and
he finished the sentence with the words
quoted at the beginning of this dispatch.

TURF TALK
DAILY Offers Small Kingdom for Gal
tee More


CHICAGO. June 23-Marcus DAILY the
Montana copper king and turfman,
passed through Chicago EN- route to
Butte. Mr.. Daily stopped over in the
city one hour between trains. Just long
enough to make the highest bid ever
recorded for thoroughbred horse in
America. The following brief cable
tells the story:
CHICAGO. June 22, 1897,
"Mr. James Stubbins, Knocknany
Stud, Knocknany. Ireland: VIII give
$4,000 cash and half his turf winnings
for Galtee More. MARCUS DAILY.
"Bitter Root Stock Farm, Montana"
This done, Mr.. DAILY said, in answer
to a question asked by a reporter: IT
want Galtee More because think he is
the greatest thoroughbred Of the age. I
know the stock he comes from, and his
progeny should be as valuable as his an
cestry. For my part, would not care
to race him much. would retire himto
Bitter Root stock farm after a season or
two"
While higher prices have been offered
It Is doubtful If $125,000 was ever bid by
an American for a runner. The con-
tingent half Of Galtee More's turf win
nings. on top Of the cash bid, certainly
exceeds any in the way of bid made
this side of the Atlantic.

NEW YORK. June 24-The Press
says: Preparations are being made by
the International Bell Telephone COM
pany to discontinue business. The
company once had a capital of 81, 750, 900,
but it was reduced to $1.0O0,000. 1t has

that the Russian government will

Sweden, Holland, Switzerland and Bel

able to pay the stockholders in full out

ment Of crops. Rarely, however, has the
