KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Strongly Opposed to the Coming Of
Immigrants

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Nov. 15.-The
morning session of the Knights of Labor
was devoted to the discussion of the re-
port of the Committee Of immigration.
1t was the prevailing sentiment that
some vigorous steps should be taken to
restrict immigration and statistics were
presented showing that nearly ten mil
lion foreign laborers had come to this
country during the last twenty-three
years, all of whom, it was claimed
worked hardship on the American
workingmen.
The report that Past Grand Master
Workman Sovereign had stepped down
because he desired to fix his plans for
the Presidency on a labor reform ticket
in 1900 was vigorously denied on all
sides.
At the afternoonsesssion.i itswas voted
unanimously to set apart the last Sun
day in June as Labor Memorial day.
This day will be observed by all the
district assemblies in the United States.
1t was expressly stated that the day
should not be regarded in the light of a
holiday. 1t was fixed upon Sunday
especially SO it could not be made Il
holiday with it's attendant festivities.
During the rest of the afternoon a mum
ber of minor matters were disposed cf
which related purely to the order. The
report of the committee on finance was
received. This committee had made an
examination of the books of the order
and found everything to be in first class
shape.

WELCOMED INTERFERENCE BY
THE POLICE
Chicago Cops Stop Several Bouts Just
as They Were Getting
Interesting

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The six-round
contest between Kid Mccoy and Aus
tralian Billy Smith, in which George
Siler was referee, was stopped by the
police in the first half of the second
round today.
The fight would not have lasted over
two rounds any way, as Mccoy knocked
Smith down twice in the first round
and four times in the. second, and had
him nearly out before the police inter-
fered. Mccoy opened the first round
with a rush. planting left square in
Smiths face and a right on his RIBS.
Smith managed to land two blows on the
shoulder, but they were light and did
no damage. Mccoy then went at him
with a cannonade of rights and lefts and
sent Smith to the floor with q right on
the jaw. Smith was not groggy, but took
his nine seconds. Mccoy waiting for hin,
with smile on his face. The, gong rang
as Smith rose.
Second round-McCoy went right after
Smith and knocked his head back three
times with straight lefts as fast as
Smith could bring it forward. He then
put right on the body, two more lefts
on the mouth and sent Smith to the
floor with a left half-arm swing. on the
jaw. Smith was down eight seconds,
and as soon as he was up Mccoy met
him with another left and then sent in
right and left on the jaw which laid
Smith flat once more. He was down
eight seconds again, and came up with
the blood pouring from his right eye
and trickling from his nose.
The two danced across the ring, when
out went McCoy's left with a short arm
jab, and down went Smith third time.
He was down eight seconds, and was
very groggy when he arose. Mccoy
came at him fast, and put in two hard
ones on the face. Smith staggered, and,
it being evident that he could last but
very little longer, the police stopped the
fight. The contest was McCoy's from
start to finish, and Smith was never in
1t at any time. Mccoy hit him when
and where he pleased, and got away
from Smiths swings without trouble
The latter was badly punished, and his
right eye being nearly closed when the
fight was stopped.

Cooney. of Boston went six rounds at IL!

Following this bout, George Kerwin ol

TWO CENTS PER MILE
TIE PRICE OF THE MILEAGE
TICKET
Sebastian's Invention Expected to
Circumvent the Scalpers-Im-
migrant Matters

I CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The interchange
able mileage ticket of the lines in the
Western Passenger association was
placed on sale today for the first, time.
The ticket gives to the purchaser net
rate of two cents per mile and is very
simple in its operation. The form of
ticket is that invented by General Pas
senger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Is-
land road and WILL 1t Is supposed, keep
the brokers at q safe distance.
1t is announced that the arrangements
which Chairman Caldwell Is making in
New York for the regulation Of the i'm
migrant traffic will have the effect of
disposing OF the trouble which has be-
set the western roads on account of
this class of traffic for several years.
1t is said that the chairman will make
arrangements that will be satisfactory
to the Southern Pacific as well as to the
roads which are members of the Emu
grant clearing house and il this is ac-
complishcd II is not likely that there
will be much trouble over the matter in
the future. In the past II has been the
failure of the western lines to reach an
agreement with the Southern Pacific re-
garding this business that has caused a
heavy loss of revenue to both sides OF
the argument. The matter will be def
nitely arranged by the middle Of this
week.
The lack of freight cars from which
nearly all OF the western roads have
suffered recently has caused the Atchi-
son to perfect arrangements for the
manufacture of nearly all of its cars
and the greater part OF it's locomotives
in the future. The work will be done at
the shops in Topeka.

Charles L. Fair Begins His Long
Threatened Suit

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 15.-Charles
l.. Fairs threatened contest of his
fathers will, commonly known as the
trust will, was formally begun in tn.
superior court today.
The petition recites that James G.
Fair died in San Francisco on December
2S, 1884, leaving an estate valued at over
$40, 900, 900; that at the time of his death
he was unmarried, as his wife, Theres;,
Fair, had died on September 13, 1891, and
that the heirs were the petitioner and
his sisters, Mrs. Theresa A. Oelricfs and
Miss Virginia Fair.
1t is charged that the will was execut-
ed as the result of fraud and misrepre-
sentation. The provision to deprive Of
all inheritance any legatee who should
contest the will was inserted, it is said
because designing persons told James
G. Fair that his childr1l had declared
that they would break any will he might
make and that at the time of the making
Of the will he was suffering from
Bright's disease and other physical dis
orders, was physically and mentally
weak and susceptible to prejudice and tc

with the rest of the crew, landed at
Crookhaven, from which place they were
forwarded to this city. The boats Of tho
Hermanos made five trips before all the
members of the RutherSlen's crew were

Some idea of the difficulty of this tasl:
may be gathered from the fact that 1t

of the British steamer. The latter num-
