KISSED THE OLD FELLOW
ERsTWHILE CHAMPION JOHN l.. IN A
PITIFUL STAGE FARCE.
In His Cups Again--Murbarger wins
the wrestling Match-BOwI-
ing Tournament.

The audience that packed the Park The
ater'last night to see John L. Sullivan and
his vaudeville stars, witnessed in the per-
Torrance of the ex-champion pugilist a
spectacle that was both pitiful and ridicu-
lous Every seat in the theater was oc-
cupied. Women sat in the boxes and eager
ly waited for the last event on the pro-
gramme, which was to be a sparring con-
test between Sullivan and an athletic-look-
ing young fellow named White
1t was known to the people about the the
alter early in the evening that the ex-cham-
pion was in his cups. 1t is said that Sulli-
van has been leading a very steady kind of
life for four months but, as some one re-
marked last night, ''he is evidently making
up for it now" An attempt to see Sullivan
on the stage of the theater about o'clock
last night was blocked by the manager,
who made excuses for the ex-champion by
the statement ut would be much more
agreeable to call on Mr. Sullivan tomorrow
night" There was a strong intimation that
Boston's ''blue-eyed boy'' had been tarrying
long at the cup.
After enjoying the vaudeville performance
the audience was quite prepared for the big
attraction, and when the pugilistic star APP
peared he was greeted with lusty cheers.
The big fellow came on to spar three rounds
of three minutes each with White. 1t was
apparent that the ex-champion was not in
the pink of condition. He came on to the
stage with far-of look in his eye and
made a few plunges at his partner The
rounds, which should have been three min
utes in length, were reduced to one minute
each, and there were three-minute waits be-
tween them. 1t did not take the spectators
long to realize they were witnessing a
farce, but before the turn was over it be-
came pitiful. Finally, when time was called
on the third round, Sullivan raised his hand
as if to strike his opponent powerful blow
but the latter only placed his thumb to his
nose and wiggled his fingers at the ex-
champion. Mr.. Sullivan then stupidity bowed
himself off the stage, and the audience let
off prolonged and indignant hiss. The
performance will be repeated again this
afternoon

KEGS OF NAILS RUINED.
Threatening Fire i'm the Union Block
sf,t ts Last Night.

What promised to be serious fire last
night was prevented by it's prompt discov-
cry and the effectual work of the depart
ment. About midnight James Breen, Mer-
chant policeman, discovered that the floor
of j. A. Van Camps office, in the Union
block, was in flames The stove had be-
come overheated and before the depart
ment reached the fire 1t had fallen down.
In the basement below, there were stored a
thousand kegs of wire nails belonging to
the Van Camp Hardware Company, and the
principal loss as the result of the fire will
be on account of the water damage to these
nails. The total loss will probably reach
81 coo. If the fire had obtained d little more
Roadway it would probably have destroyed
the whole block, including the United States
pension agency. Within a few feet of
where the flames reached there was a room
stored with packing material and other i'm
fiammable matter.
To-day is pension payment day. and the
room where the fire occurred was to have
been occupied by persons who make it a
business to acknowledge vouchers. Long
tables made of pine boarding had been
placed in the room, on which there was
row of tallow dip Candles ready for use in
the early hours of the morning. j. D.
Leighty, the pension agent, was at the fire

New Route to Be Explored.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The secretary of
war has telegraphed instructions to General
Merriam, commanding the Department of
the Columbia, to organize and send an ex-
ploring expedition over the Copper river
route in Alaska. for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether g. practicable summer or
winter route wholly within the territory of
the United States, for mail and supplies or
for mail alone could be found to the min
ing regions ON the Yukon between Forty
mile creek and Circle City. The organiza-
tion of the party and the selection of Off
GERS to command it have been left to the
judgment of General Merriam. In case a
practicable route can be found, instructions
were given to so mark it that it could be
followed hereafter. The party is to take
as far as practicable, such supplies as may
be found to be necessary to relieve any per-
sons in distress that may be encountered
The natives of the Copper river valley have
been reported as aggressive, and the officers
in charge will be expected to use their eff
forts to conciliate them. The party will be
instructed to proceed as far as practicable
towards Circle City, and, if deemed adj
viSable. to communicate with the relief ex-
petition taking supplies to the Yukon, and
the two parties will cooperate in the work
of exploration. The expedition probably
will make an entrance by Port Valdes, on
Prince William sound, unless it be found
that some other point is more advisable.

Two large audiences turned out at the

doesn't have much to do in the opening
farce "a Trip Across the Ocean," but in
the final act of the programme, a gym

You say it's all right to hang me- and

the rest of them With these words Doc
Tanner faced his executioners on the morn
ing Of Jan. at Valde's Pass. The men who
passed sentence on him were members of
party of Massachusetts prospectors bound
for the Copper river country, Alaska and
the crime for which Tanner paid the SUI
preme penalty was the killing of N. A. Call,
of Worthington, Mimi, and William A. Lee,
of Lowell, Mass The expedition consisted
of forty men. NJ. f. Tanner had Joined
them in Seattle on their way north. He
was supplied with an outfit and taken into
membership, but, unmindful of that fact,
he was quarrelsome and so overbearing that
his companions decided that he must leave
the party. On the evening of Jan. a meet
ing was held in Calls tent, and during the
conference the statement was made: Eve
must get rid of Tanner; let him take his
share of the outfit and shift for himself.
We are up here for business, and we mean
what we say"
There were four men at the meeting, and

me-" he said deliberately I'm here for
business" Before his victims realized what
had happened, Tanner had shot twice and
the bullets pierced Call and Lee through the
chest. Tanner fired again, but his preced-
ing shot had extinguished the candle and
the bullet did not take effect. One of the
remaining members crouched down behind
some baggage, and the other, cutting hrs
way out Of the tent, gave the alarm.
Tanner, supposing the three men to be
dead took a. station in some brush and
rounded.

called out to him.
IF you say so, boys, I'll do it," was his
response, and then he handed over his
weapon. The miners court at once con-
vened, and by an overwhelming majority
decided that Tanner should be hanged.
There was some discussion over the ques-
ton of shooting him, but the majority de-
cision, Tanner observed that he hoped they
would not tantalize him by stringing him
up and letting him down again before he
was dead He was led out during the early
morning, fearlessly allowed the rope to be
tied about his neck, and so met his doom.
