The last time these two met Daily got the decision on foul in the seventeenth round at the Lenox Athletic club and since that time Me- Partland has always claimed that he had Daly whipped them. He insisted that on their next meeting he would demonstrate his superiority over the Delaware man and he did this very ef- fectively when the opportunity present. ed itself tonight. Both men were in splendid form and showed that they had trained carefully when they strip ped In the ring. The bout was devoid of foul work and was one of the cleanest and cleverest exhibitions ever given un- der the Horton law.

THE CZAR,S SCHEME.
Its Practtcability Dtstrusted by French
 Newspapers Generally.


 Paris, Aug. 29.-The French news papers generally dstrust the practica- bility of the czar's peace scheme and clearly indicate that France would make the restoration of Alsace-L -Lorane prerequisite to her participation in the conference. The Temps says:
 Tt is to be hoped that Europe, like France. will conside the czar's propo- sal in spirit similar to that whereby it was inspired Nevertheless, it must not be forgotten that if France owes it to herself to aid in such an attempt there is another portion of her moral patrimony which she cannot abandon without abdicating the very reason of her existence, France cannot forget the eloquent words exchanged between the car and the president regarding the rights of peoples and justice. Count Muraviff's circular seems a rejoinder to MT. Goshen's speech, whether or not 1t was so intended. Therefore 1t lacks neither witness nor appropriateness, However, it would be singularly belit- ting the inspiration and meaning of the proposal to see nothing else in it, or even to connect it with wish to hamper from the outset the condition of an alliance between the United States and Great Britain. What will the Germany of William think of the initiative of Nicholas? The prince will hardly care to play second fddle.''
 The Liberte remarks: "The gravest questions which demand solution in volve France and the czar has un- doubtedly considered these complica- tions and has consulted the powers in terested. It is to be presumed he has reason to believe his views will triu- mph."
 The Gazette de France says: Russia made us go to Kiel. To-day she leads us to a conference which will sanction a readjustment of 1S71''
 The Journal des Debats refers to the past which we cannot forget as being @ stumbling block in the way of the success of the conference. The Patrie expresses the opinion that Great Brit tain will never renounce her maritime supremacy.

CARS PEACE PROPOSITION
WILL PROBABLY CONSTITUTE 4
 TURNING POINT IN HISTORY.


 to the Conference But Expects Little
 to Come of It-French Newspapers
 Dtstrust Generally tho Practicability
 of the Czar's Scheme.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-The news papers here declare that the czar's manifesto will probably constitute a turning point in history. The Novosti says: Tt stands to reason that the dis armament question cannot be solved without a previous removal of the causes for the armaments. The con- ference must accurately determine the respective pretentions of the nations and propose means for peaceful ar rangement, and it may come to pass that at the close of the nineteenth cen tury liquidation may be effected of the international policies which are so prolific in troubles and dangers"
 The Novoe Vremya remarks: "All true friends of peace are naturally on the side of Russia, but it is impossible to guarantee that some of the western cabinets will not raise objections, prompted by the fact that the armed peace which has existed since 1871 is the main source of their international strength
 The Viedomosti expresses the opinion that the note of the czar is essentially "an attempt to introduce the element of trust into international relations. Whoever believes in the creative power of ideas propounded with conviction and clearness must rejoice that the note brings a new and benefcent course into the worlds life and groups anew the participants in that life."

 Washington, Aug. 29.-Captain Louis c. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty-sec- sheriff of Fairfax county, Virginia to answer to an indictment charging him with desecrating Confederate graves at Bull Run, near Manassas. It appears that pr. Duncan, whose case has now become famous, was not sentenced to five years Imprisonment, as reported from Camp Meade, Pennsylvania, but escaped much more lightly at the hands of the military court, there being a lack of evidence to prove that he actu- ally took part in despoiling the graves. A clash between the state authorities and war department may result.

New York, Aug. 29.-For various req the Yale Athletic association has de- cided that the football eleven shall not be seen in any games in the metropolis. A game had been scheduled for New York between Yale and the Carlisle h. dian eleven on October 22. Yale con- suited the Carlisle management asking whether they would be as willing to play in New Haven, and upon receiving a favorable reply announced that the game was off so far as New York was concerned. It is barely possible one or two college elevens will play in New York during the fall season, but neither Yale, Harvard nor Princeton is likely to be seen here In competition.

One of the Hottest Primary Flights Held in the City in Many Years-Fierce Con- tests in All the Wards and Big Vote Poned-Two Tickets Were Out in All
 Rr.t uxxy<~ yxr.r.x.

WI 4lchets WI Out All
 But Two Wards.
 In the democratic primaries held yes- terday afternoon and last evening Wall ter Leigh won out by six delegates af- ter one of the hottest primary fights waged in thls city for many years. He carried the Fifth, Sixth Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards, which have total of forty-two delegates in the town con- vention which is to elect delegates to the county convention. Tomlinson car- ried the First, Second, Third, Fourth. Eighth, Tenth and Fifteenth wards, which have a total of thirty-six dele- gates, Leigh thereby winning by six delegates. In nearly every ward there were two tickets in the field at the primaries, the only exception being in the Thirteenth ward, where forty-five votes were cast and there was no oppo-, sition to the Leigh ticket, and in the Fifteenth ward, where forty votes were cast, with no opposition to the Tomlin- son ticket.
 In the Third ward one of the fiercest contests was waged. The contest there was between James B. McGann and his supporters, who worked for Tomlinson. and those opposed to the so-called ma chine, who supported Leigh. Although the McGann faction won out by ninety eight votes, the anti-machine crowd, composed mostly of young democrats, were well pleased last night over a gain of about ninety-five votes over the showing they made against the ma chine at the last previous primary.
 In the Sixth ward the Tomlinson forces were led by ex-Alderman B. A. Rourke, against whom the Leigh fac- tion was bitter because he came out for Tomlinson after, as it is alleged, he agreed to support Leigh. The Leigh forces were marshalled by Alderman Henry E.. Norris and John D. Doughan. The Leigh ticket won by 1O5 votes. The Seventh ward, which has ten delegates to the town convention, was won for the Leigh ticket by 115 votes, the win ming faction being led by Alderman John J. Hogan. In the Eighth ward the Tomlinson ticket won out by six votes.
 As regards the probate delegates, T. F. Callahan appears to have the dele- gations from all the wards but the Third, Fifth and Ninth, and in these wards there are splits. Colonel Calla- han appears to have the town conven- ton by large majority. As for repre- sentative, it appears to be anybody'ss race yet. The various delegations are so split up that there are liable to be coalitions which may nominate any of the numerous candidates, although it appeared last night as though Captain Donovan was the strongest candidate in the field. The congressional delega- tion is solid for ex-Senator Timothy J. Fox.
 The vote in the various wards on the two tickets, Leigh and Tomlinson, so-s called, was as follows:

MERRITT TO GO TO PARIS

WtlI Give Peace Commission the Benefit of His Experience i'm the Philippines Original Plan to Send Dewey Changed He Could be of Greater Service at Ma- nila.

Washington, Aug. 29.-It was an- nounced this afternoon at the war de- partment that General Merritt was to go to Paris to give the peace commits sion the benefit of his experience in the Philippines. The original plan had been to send Admiral Dewey to Paris for that purpose, but this was changed upon representations from the admiral that he could be of greater service at Manila than in Paris. Whether or not General Merritt will return to the Phil ippines has not yet been determined; :; that will depend entirely upon the state of affairs in the islands when the peace commission concludes its labors. The choice of a route is left to himself, but it is expected that he will be in Paris within sixty days at the latest.

Manila, Aug. 29.-Major General Mer- ritt, the commander of the American troops, in conversation has avoided a declaration of his policy and gave the impression that he is undecided about the possibility of arranging to retain the Philippine Islands, although per- sonally he seemed to favor that policy. General Agunilado has court-martialed the offenders in the Cavite affray and they have been sentenced to death, but it is reported that they were afterwards repreved at the request of General An derson. The insurgents wish to send a delegate to Paris, even if he is not ad- mitted to the conference. The Span iards are said to be defrauding the Americans in the matter of issuance of rations to the prisoners.
