A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR FOUL MOST FAVORABLETO THE SAILOR ENDS THE
 GREAT FIGHT. Nine Rounds Fought---Sharkey Very Active and Proves to Be
 More Than an
 Equal.

New York, Nov. 24.-The Sharkey- Corbett fight, which was witnessed by the largest and most representa- tive gathering of sporting men that ever congregated to see a ring con- test, ended a most ,diseraceful f1aseo last night at the Lenox AtheletIc
 Club. Corls@ t had all the worst of the c0saus when one of his sec onds, sEifls e" Meyey, in the ninth round jumped into the ring, appeal ing to the referee, Honest John Kelly, had no alternative but to disquaify CUrbett and award the bout to Sharkey. MeVey's inter- ference was absolutely inexeusable and the referee, believing Chat there was q ''iob" in McVey's action, took it upon himself to declare all bets off. Before Kelly did so, however, many of those who had bet on Cor hett, and they were legion, appealed

 When senor Ojido, the principal sec. fstary of the Spanish peace commission, Vas pressed for his opinion as to the ul. timate action on the American demands, he said:

 In the second round there were wild yelIs from the admirers of the Irishman when he hoored Corbett with a right swing on the head, pre- ceded with powerful Eblow on the body.

SLUMP IN PRICES
On All Grades of Bicycles for Next
 Year.

There was big cut in '9s biey cles. and there is also Il big reduction In the prices of '99 wheels, says the Owenshoro2Messenger. The manu- facturers have put out their prIea llsts Tor next year, and there is a big slump Tn the figures and especially In the prices Of the chainless. This year the steafns and other leading makes Of the rhainless sold at $l22. but the '99 wheel goes Ut $75. Tandems have been reduced from $100 to S75. Re- dnctions have been made on the oth- CT grades, and Il good tourist wheel now sells at $35. Theprices are now so low that frst-class wheels are within the reach of any person want ing Il bicycle.
 Bicycles dealers predict that with a price of $75 on a high grade chain less that they will become more pop- ular than the chain wheel. A popu- lar feature of the chainless is the ease with which it runs. The rear wheel of properly adjusted chninless, 1t is asserted, will run three times as easy as u well adjusted chain wheel and it also does away with the gear case, which has proved to be a fall- urein many respects by reason of the fact that it Is so eas, to spring out of place from the slightest fall or accident. causing a noise when the wheel is running because of the rub ping of the chain against the in- side Of the case. The local dealers anticipate large trade on the chain less for the next season.

KANSAS CATTLE KING FAILS.
GRANT C. GILLETT'S LIABILITIES
SAID TO BE OVER A MILLION.

His Creditors SwOOp Down Upon Him
in n Special Train, But He Had De-
parted for Texas-FOur Years Ago
GiIlett Was Feeding sheep for
Others, Bat Suddenly Branched
Out Into the Cattle business on an
Unprecedented Scale.
Abilene, Kan, Nov. 25.-A failure, In
volving cattle interests throughout the
Southwest was pTecipitated here to-day,
when an attachment suit for $4,000 was
filed against Grant C. Gillett of Wood
bine by the Gillespie Commission Company
of Kansas City.
Gillett controls thousands of cattle on
the Southwestern ranges. and his liabili-
ties are believed to be over $l,0O0,OOO
1t is now known that on Monday of the
present week Gillett made an assignment
and deed of trust of all his holdings to Il.
w. Nall. Gillett at once departed for
Texas. Mr.. Naill, however, refused TO
accept the trusteeship, and the papers
were not fled.
This condition of affairs becoming noised
about Gilletts creditors came down upon
him in droves. Men representing twenty
five commission firms in Kansas City ar
rived at Woodbine to-day on a special
train, and Immediately began searching
for Gillett's cattle, which are ranging over
Central and Western Kansas, Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and Texas. How MANY
there are none OF the creditors seem to
know, but it is stated that there are about
J.tlM head Cillpff'G NNno.1T,ft,o.
Some idea of the extent of Gilleits LA
| bilities was gained at the county registers
office here, where fully 81 100000 of his
paper Is recorded. About one third of il is
blanket and unreleased mortgages. while
the remainder covers cattle now being fed
Most of Gilletts paper is thought to have
been held by Kansas City banks and COM
mission firms, but the firms who are rep
resented here on the ground claim TO be
amply protected.
The career of Grant c. Gillett has been
of the sky-rocket order. He is but 81
years old, and his operations have startled
the more conservative stock men.
Four years ago he lived on a mortgaged
quarter section of land near Woodbine
where he began mis- cattle trade
by feeding sheep for Others
In this he was successful, and on the lit
| tie ranch he laid the groundwork of a
puSlilCeS WHICH mas clidplcu iilil " Hdiule
over 100000 cattle within the last three
| years.
The methods were as novel as they were
daring.
| Soon he seemed to have unlimited credit.
| He bought great droves of cattle in Texas
and brought them North for sale and feed
| ing. Soon he organized his celebrated
cowboy band, composed of plainsmen
| in his employ, and when he rode about
/ tho country In his eT1acial oar he foolr his
| band of musicians with him, He even
took them into Eastern cities, where they
| attracted much attention.
Mr. Gillett is said to have recently taken
| out $4,000 of life insurance, and $500, 900
! of accident insurance.

appointed as Mayor McLeary's successor
Senor Bacardi. an old resident. He is anx-
ious to give the Mayor as much authority
as is compatible with military jurisdiction.
The new Mayor will conform 70 Gen.
Woods ideas, which are to give the Gu
bans every opportunity TO show them
selves capable of lf-government.
Maj. McLeary, as a military Mayor,
gave entire satisfaction to all classes. He
has now been assigned to the duties OF
INSPECTOR general of the province, and will
shortly make a tour, including Holguin.

PARISIANS WILL PROTEST.
THEY OPPOSE TRIAL or PICQUART
BY COURTNTARTTAL.

Gen. Zurlinden, Military Governor.
Decides That He Shall he So Tried.
The Case Causing as Great Sem
sntiOn as the Dreyfus Affair - No.
body Relieves Col. PicquRrt Guilty,
hut Think He VIII BE Condemned
In a. Secret Military Trial.
Paris. Nov. 25.-The Picquart case seems
in the way of raising even a greater storm
than the Dreyfus affair.
The papers favorable to the general staff
are dumb in the face of bare-faced decis-
ion of the military governor of Paris, Gen.
Zurlinden, to try Col. Picquart by court
martial. while those favoring revision are
furious at this new attempt to defeat JUS
tice and protest against the court mar
tial being ordered
Nobody believes Col. Picquart is guilty
of any crime except a courageous desire
to render justice to Dreyfus, but on all
sides It is recognized that. in a practi-
cally secret trial, he may be condemned
on some technicality. thus attaining the
apparent object, which is to throw doubt
upon his depositions before the Court OF
Cessation in the Dreyfus trial.
Every one is seeking the motive of Gen.
zurlinden in so persistenuy pursuing Col.
Picquart and which court martial, if
necessary, could not be proposed until the
decision of the Court of Cessation has been
given.
Every one is seeking whether 1t is a des-
perate attempt to shield the former min
lister of war, Gen. MERCER, and the gem
erel staff, even at the risk OF precipitating
disaster and the nations hatred, and in
any event of driving every doubling per-
son into the Dreyfusite party.
A protest against the court martial of
Picquart, bearing the signatures of leading
authors, politicians and journalists, Is be-
ing widely circulated for further names
and will be presented to the government.
This evening It is reported that NJ. De-
Freycinet, minister of war; has consented
to be nterpollated on the subject in the
Chamber of Deputies next Monday, when
a sensational scene may be expected.
Another feature of the case is the torrent
of hostile criticism now poured upon NJ.
DeFreycinet, who is accused of quailng
before Gen. Zurlinden and the general
staff
Maitre Labori, Col. Picquart's counsel.
says he is convinced Il will be impossible
to condemn Picquart on the charge of
forgery, but that the accused officer may
possibly be condemned on the charge OF
communicating secret documents, although
their communication was In no way mimi
cal to the interests of the state.
Col. Picquart continued his evidence be-
fore the Court of Cessation throughout
the whole day, and his deposition Is ex-
pected to occupy several days more. There
10 still some chance that he may receive
justice, owing to the presence on the court
martial OF Col. Bonnat. who is a great
friend of Picquart but Nj. Clemenceau, In
Aurore, declares that The court martial Is
packed, and accuses NJ. DeFreycinet of al
lowing an innocent man to be victimized
in order to increase his own chances at
the next presidential election.
