DAVE SULLIVAN WON.
Irish PugiIist Awarded HOnOrs OF a
Fight with Sammy Kelly.

NEW YORK, May 16,-Dave Sullivan, the
little Irish pugilist, met Sammy Kelly, Of
this city, tonight at the Lenox Athletic
Club. and after fighting twenty rounds, was
declared winner by Referee Jimmy Dime, of
Amsterdam. N Y. The boys were matched
some time ago to fight at 118 pounds, but
tonight Sullivan was six pounds over
weight and had to pay forfeit of $3.50.
Sullivan was the favorite in the betting at
100 to 80, but owing to the differences in the
weights of the contestants, the announce
ment was made that all bets were off, be-
fore the boys began to fight. 1t was pref
ty contest all through. and if it were not
for Kelly's tactics in the latter part of the
bout, when he frequently grabbed Sullivan's
arm, the referees decision might have been
a draw.
In the last round, Dave led for the stom-
ach, and got hard left on the face. Kelly
again grabbed SulliVan's arms and looked
towards the referee. Kelly slipped to his
knees on the ropes, but regained his feet
instantly Sullivan planted a very hard
straight left on the mouth and followed
with several jabs on the same spot. Kelly
managed to get back with one left on the
face. This was all Sullivan's round. When
the gong ended the bout there were cries
Of Kelly Kelly" and counter cries of
Sullivan wins!' Sullivan wins! Some
people thought that Kelly was given the
fight, and Spike Sullivan jumped into the
ring to protest He was put off again by
the police and as soon as partial order was
restored, Announcer Harvey said: The ref
cree decides that Sullivan has WOn.".

HAWAII TO BE PARTIAL
THE ISLAND REPUBLIC WILL NOT
PROCLAIM NEUTRALITY.
United States May BE Permitted to
Hoist cold Glory and Use Homo
lulu as Base Of Supplies.

HONOLULU, May TO- via San Francisco,
May 1.-THE Hawaiian government will not
proclaim neutrality. This stand is taken on
account of the existing relations between
the United States and Hawaii. The execu-
tive considers that a proclamation of neu-
trality would be a breach of good 1aith. The
government made known its position yes
terday at a secret session of the Senate
1t is understood that the senators favored
the stand taken by President Dole.
Another important matter considered at
the session was the occupation bill which,
If ratified by the Senate will allow the
United States to raise the American flag
over the island and use the same as a base
Of supplies. This measure is. said to have
been prepared with the knowledge of the
members of the Senate committee on for
eign affairs and has had the approval of
President Mckinley. This bill was received
by the Hawaiian government but a short
time ago and has had the careful attention
of President Dole and his Cabinet The
members of the Senate questioned the ex-
ecutive yesterday regarding the foregoing
measure. They were informed that the
measure was under consideration and that
ir"would be unwise to make it public at this
time. When the bill is given to the Senate
that body will ratify it at once; on this
point there does hot seem to be any doubt
1t was extensively reported in the bust
ness community on the 9TH that Spain,
through agents here, was buying all the
coal to be had in this island The consul
for Spain denied this and said there was not
a word of truth in it, That a coal famine
is imminent there can hardly be any doubt
Last weeks stocks were lower than in
many months, scarcely 5000 tons being on
hand, and only one house has any coal for
sale. and win only consent to sell in guam
titles to satisfy immediate demands United
States Consul General Haywood has been
watching the situation closely and has
strongly fortified Americas positions. He
has $500 tons of coal on hand at the pres
ent time. with two cargoes afioat bound for
this port. In less than month the United
States will have 1900 tons of coal at this
port.

N'KINLEY's FIRST VETO.
Bill Comforting Extraordinary Power
on Court of Claims Not Approved.


on Court OF Claims Not Approved.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE first veto
message from the President during the Nc
hlnley administration was submitted to
Congress this afternoon on a bill to confer
on the Court of Claims jurisdiction to re-
try and determine a case brought bv the
representatives of Isaac p. Tice against the
United States, in the Court of Claims in
1873, to recover from the government 500 600
Tor the use of distilled spirits meters in
vented by Tice. The bill further confers
jurisdiction of alleged claims of TIce and
others for money collected on account of
the meters, but not paid over to him or
them, amounting to $4,000 The President
says it does not appear who are the other
persons by whom this latter sum is claimed
and that the claim must have accrued prior
to July, 1871. President Mckinley, in the
message, makes some interesting observa-
tons on the statute of limitations and es-
topDel, and closes in the following words:
ran TO see any reason in the facts con-
nected with these claims for granting to
these parties relief of this extraordinary
nature. The treasury of the United States
ought 10 be very carefully guarded against
attacks of those who come forward with
SUCH claims and especially from the attacks
or those who have already been fully heard
according to the methods prescribed by the
statutes. TO approve this bill would be IN
FURNISH very dangerous precedent which
would open the door to demands upon Com
SreSs in other cases. which have been fuIIv
heard and determined. For these reasons
am constrained to withhold my approval
from this bill"
