Twelve Rounds Is All the Colored Roxcr
Can Stand of the Kids Cyclone.
San Francisco, Oct so.-Georra
Lavigne whipped Joe Walcott last night
and whipped him thoroughly. Ten thou
sand people saw the fight under the aus
pioes of the Occidental club. While the
ending was abrupt and unexpected at
the moment. not one Of the great crowd he.
lieved the eventual ending would prove un-
favorable to the Saginaw Kid. He set
a terrific pace from the sound of the
gong in the first round until the end of
the twelfth, and had a good margin to
the good in every round. While Walcott
stalled off the sturdy Michigan mans
rushes he could not stop Lavigne. At
the close of the ninth round Joe was seen
to limp in going to his corner, and his
seconds gave their attention to his legs.
Walcott is subject to muscular cramps
In his lower limbs and it was this ALL
ment which unfortunately attacked the
colored man last night. However. this
attack did not affect his fighting in the
early rounds Of the fighting and onlv
served to end the fight in Lavigne's IA
vor at an earlier stage than was looked
for, as it was apparent from the begin
ming of the fifth round that Lay;gne's
lead could not be overcome. Layigue
fought for the body and it wac these
blows that took the life out OF the coll
ored man.

New York, Oct. .20.-Bradstreet's SAYS:
General trade retains most of the feat

chesk to the movement Of staple mer-
chandise. At the larger eastern and
central western cities sales Of season.
aDle goods have not equalled expecta-
TONS. and at none OF these points has
the volume Of business increased. At
Chicago. st. L@Lis, Baltimore, New
York and Providence there has been
o decrease In the volume of business
in some lines, due in patt to unseason-
able weather and In some instances to
the continued quarantine ofyellow fever
oiSr!ts. Business In staple lines for the
latter half of October. aside from that
IN wool and metals, has been some
what Disappointing. The northwest con-
tinues TO make relatively more fayora-
Bile reports as to trade, although at Mil
waukee and Minneapolis mild weather
has checked distribution.
Consumption of iron and steel con-
tinues heavy, bat mills refuse orders for
1898 delivery in the belief that the cost
or the making of iron and steel will be
higher Woolen goods continue firm
and IN fair demand with an upward ten
dency. but cotton fabrics are weak and
the market is heavily stocked Wheat
is again above a dollar, on continued
heavy exports.

show that the warders were fired upon
by the Indians. Later developments,
however. go to show that the game
wardens were the agSressors.
