pose of Nisbet rather handily and fore
close his mortgage on first place in
the tournament. In receiving high balls

perfect, and the slightest mistake of his
oc9onent was followed I'D.
Wrenn, however, played the cleverest
kind Of tennis. and up to the very last
was looked upon to win. There were
more placed returns than in any match
during the whole tourney, showing how
fine the experts We're on the lines and
their execution. The victory was quite
an achievement for Nisbet. who was
regarded as the weakest of the three
foreigners before they came to this
country. He has defeated both of his
countrvmen and Wrenn hero.

About Has last night Mr.. T. E. La
ing appeared in the police station with
his face bandaged and blood all over
his shirt and vest. He reported that
he had been assaulted, and gave the
following account of the affair: Dur
ing the evening he had gone to call on
some lady friends on Seventh East
street They had gone out for walk
and on returning TO the house found
Mr. McKenna awaiting their return.
McKenna had paid attention to one
OF the girls for about eight years. He
was of very jealous disposition, and
resented the attention that any other
man might give her. McKenna, La
ing said, had threatened to kill the
girl some time before. When he saw
the party, consisting of Mr. Laing and
two or three of the girls, come up to
the house, a jealous fit of anger evil
IDENTIFY came over him.
1t was about II o'clock when Laing
and the girls reached the house. See
ing McKenna there they spoke TO him,
but he turned on Laing saying: You
are no gentleman. You need not speak
TO me-
Laing started to reply, but Nc
Kenna stopped him, saying: IF you
out. Yes, "- you, I'll do it now"
With that he struck at LANG with
knife, or some other sharp instrument,
cutting a deep cash in his f,ft cheek.
Then ensued a desperate struggle. La
ing caught his Infatuated antagonist
by the wrist just in time to ward off a
savage blow at his stomach. The force
OF the blow was SO great, however,
that the knife struck one of the but
tons on his vest, breaking a piece out
of it and glancing downward cut his
vest wide open for about eight inches. !
The two men struggled together for
awhile very furiously The knife again
cut a slit several inches long in the
right lapel of Laing's coat. Another !
blow aimed for his head Just touched I
his left ear and barely scratched his /
cheek below the deep cut he had al |
ready received. Laing still held Nc
Kenna's wrist, now and then hitting /
him in the face with his left. The fight [
was furious and in the struggle Nc
kenna struck Laing two or three hard
blows on the top of the head with the
butt of the knife. McKenna seemed
determined to kill Laing, but finally
the latter broke away and backing out

Senator Henry NJ Teller arrived from
Washington this morning to remain in
the state until fall. The leader of the
silver forces of Colorado expressed some
strong views ana talked encouragingly of
the prospects, for the white metal in the
campaign of 1900. More than that, he let
fall e rather sensational statement of the
aims of the present administration in re-
gard to the monetary problem:
Senator Teller said: Congress re-
assemblies on the first Monday in Deem
Der. There is no important business be-
fore It. as scheduled now. But imme-
diately after assembling the financial
question will be taken up. 1t is the pur-
pose, undoubtedly. of this administration
TO retire the greenbacks and treasury
notes and perfect a system by which the
national banks will be authorized to issue

be to retire silver. and then bank notes
