1T WAS A DRAW.
George Dixon and Eddie Santry Fight In
New York.


New York.
New York, Aug ll-George Dixon,
the colored featherweight champion,
and Eddie Santry of Chicago met to-
night before the Broadway Athletic
club for 20 rounds at 125 pounds, and
Referee John White declared the bout
a draw. The club house was crowded
to its utmost limit. nearly 5.0OG per-
sons being present Dixon put up a
game exhibition and Santry showed
wonderful improvement since he APP
peared here last. Santry's advantage
in height stood him in good stead. and
the way he lodged his head away from
a great many of DiXon's clever leads
was extremely clever Dixon at times
was wild and he frequently overreach-
ed himself, using poor judgment as to
distance. santry went right to his
man, and from the very beginning
showed that he meant to fight without
adopting sprinting tactics. Tom
O'Rourke, Tom Sharkey and Charley
Miner were Dixon's seconds while
Johnny German, Charles Burns and
Jack Quinn were Santry's.
In the opening round Dixon was the
aggressor with honOrs about even. A
left swing from Dixon in the second
landed on Santrys eye and the Chi
cago boy fought back viciously driv
ing his right to the body and at close
quarters, bringing it up to the head.
George was wild with his left swings
in that round, as well as in the third,
but he managed to get left hard to the
wind.
In the fourth round DiXon's right eye
was reopened with a right swing from
Santry and the latter paid attention to
this mark throughout the rest of the
fight.
At the close of the eighth round
Dixon swung his right on Santry's
head and Eddie replied with similar
blow. landing back of the neck, and
Dixon stumbled as the gong rang.
When Santry went to his corner his
nose was bleeding. During the ninth
Dixon's left ear was burst with a right
swing. but he kept throwing his left to
the body. In the 10th Dixon landed
backhand blow with his left and fol-
lowed with a hard right to the body.
From this to the end of the 10Th round
it was a ding-dong contest, with Dixon
mainly on the aggressive and Santry
blocking very cleverly Dixon came
like whirlwind in the last round, fore
ing and rushing, but neither had any
decided advantage at the finish.
Tommy Sullivan Of Brooklyn and
Jimmy Devers of this city met in the
preliminary. They also fought 20 rounds
at 100 pounds. Sullivan won.

A GENERAL RAISE
Will Not BE Made in Assessments of
Railroads and Mining Companies.

The county board of equalization has
come to the conclusion that it will not
carry out the threat to make a general
raise in the assessments of railroads and
mining companies. Chairman Clark is
quoted as making a statement to that
effect yesterday. In response to the no.
tice sent out a few days ago as to the
boards intention. representatives of the
Colorado Mining company, Montana Ore
Purchasing company, Butte, Anaconda &
Pacific Railway company and the Mon
tana Central appeared yesterday and con-
WINGED the members of the board that
their assessments We're high enough, and
that the returns made to the assessor by
the different companies We're honest re-
turns.
The Anaconda Copper company Butte
& Boston and Boston & Montana com
pany have not yet responded to the no.
tics of the board and the time given them
in which to do so will expire to-day
but whether they will appear or not it is
not probable that the board will under
take to make any changes in their as
Sessments.
The assessment of the Butte General
Electric company on office fixtures was
increased $1,000 yesterday.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE
Corn Crop Is an Enormous One
This Year.
A DECREASE IN WHEAT
Reduction OF Twenty-Five Million Bush
els Probable-No Particular Activ-
ity in Iron and Steel-Busi-
ness for Next Year.

New York. Aug. 11.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Crop reports and probabilities have
constituted an important contribution
to general trade and business advices
this week. Among the unquestionably
favorable features have been the re-
ports regarding the corn crop, gov
eminent estimates pointing to a yield
of probably 2,220, 100000 bushels, a
heavy increase over last year. and al
most within touch of the record of the
total of 1896. Spring wheat indications
apparently bear out earlier trade adj
vices in showing a decrease in condi-
tions during July. The reduction of
25,000000 bushels is the probable out
come estimated, however, considerably
smaller, it is true, than last year, but
with the exception of 1898 and 1891, the
heaviest recorded.
The iron and steel situation is par
tcularly interesting at present, though
not especially active at eastern mar
kets. Western advices are of heavy
demand, scarce supplies of materials,
high prices and increasing volume of
business booked for next year. The
pTOuucl Oh pig IRON was the ldISest
ever known, but in spite of this, stocks
showed a decrease and current pro-
duction is easily at the rate of 14,00O,-
600 tons a year.
The annual railroad car famine is
apparently at hand, reports of INSULT
cent transportation facilities being
particularly prominent in the coke and
coal industries.
Hides, leather, boots and shoes are
alphabetically strong, and at a con-
vention of shoe manufacturers at Phil
adelphia this week, a practical agree
ment to advance prices of the finish
ed product was reached. particularly
for the finer grades of domestics. The
advices from the manufacturing Indus
try are generally favorable.
Lumber is firm, as is also sugar, for
which an unprecedented demand is
looked for in the current canning sea-
son. The outlook in the canned goods
trade generally is reported very good
one.
Business failures for the week in the
United States number 1876, as compared
with 1856 last week, 157 a year ago and
PA in 1897.
In Canada failures number - against
% last year, 80 a year ago and 81 in
1897.
Wheat, including flour shipments, for
the week aggregate 3616.154 bushels
against 4,7116l4 bushels last week,
3.92S,606 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1898. 4645,519 bushels in 1897,
2.635,216 bushels in 1896 and 1.S24,62S
bushels in 1895.
Since July l. this season, the exports
of wheat aggregate 22,125,000 bushels
against 1884, 72S bushels last year and
16, lie, SAB bushels in 1897.

THROWS OFF THE MASK.

From the Nonconformist: 1t will be
the imperative duty of the next con-
gress to declare that all the obligations
of the government are redeemable in
gold on demand-thus making the
gold standard definite and absolute
This is not only important in the in
terest of the public credit, but as a
safeguard against the possibility OF he
election of free-silver candidate for
the presidency next year. However
small the chance may be Of the cleo
ton of a man opposed to the gold
standard, it is none the less apparent
that every judicious precaution should
be taken to countervail any possible
action hostile to the existing monetary
stains.-Omaha Bee.
If the Republicans had talked like
this three years ago how many states
would they have carried? If the Bee
had published this article last year
how many Republican congressman
and state legislators would have been
elected in Nebraska? 1t is considered
no longer necessary to tell the old
lies about international bimetallism.
It is no longer necessary to tell the
old lies about international bimetal
lism. It is no longer necessary to con-
duct q campaign by false pretenses.
They stole a congress by lying prom
ises and now they are going to use it
for the exploitation OF the people.
The above article amouSts to an ad-
mission that the silver men will get
Into power next year and therefore it
calls on congress to act at once. as it
will probably be the last opportunity
it will have to rivet plutocratic
claims upon the people. Just witness
how the people have been robbed by
virtue of this kind of legislation. The
original government debt was con-
tracted when gold was at premium
OF over 100 per cent and was made
payable in greenbacks, the only money
then in general circulation; then the
payment was changed to gold and sill
YER coin. Now silver is eliminated and
the whole debt is made payable in gold
alone. Every change has been in the
interest of plutocracy and every time
the people have been mercilessly
robbed. Now, for fear the people will
assert their rights at the next election,
this organ of the bloodsuckers calls
upon congress to act and act quickly.
But If the law has been changed a
dozen times in the interest of the
money changers cannot it be changed
once more in the interest of the peo-
Pile? If the contract for payment r7s
been altered to benefit the ricn can
not it also be altered to benefit the
poor? If the people ever again cora
into power they will find some way %

Government Ownership.

Mr.. o. P. Austin, the chief OF the
bureau of statistics at Washington, In
an article in the May Forum on THE
Colonies of the World and How They
Are Governed" says: I'm the British
colonies most of the railways and tele-
graphs, and even in some cases the
tramways and street railways, are
owned by the colonial government.
Thus, while the debts of the British
colonies aggregate a large sum, the
colonies are themselves solely respon-
sible for their payment, while the debts
are in most cases represented by
equivalents in actual property, much OF
which has, in the case of railways and
telegraphs, greatly increased in value
and is now worth far more than the
debt which it represents. Meantime,
the population has benefited by the
extremely small commercial rates
which have been made by the railway
and telegraph lines, the prices Of
freights and transportation upon the
railroads belonging to the colonies be-
ing very low. In some cases the chill
dren attending public schools are car

How Farmers Are Interested.


Municipal ownership may not at first
sight appear to be a question Of great
Importance to the farmer, but that it
is important for the agricultural voter
to know the drift in that direction Is
more easily realized when one thinks
of the duty devolving upon him to
check the viciousness shown in the city
vote, says the Farmers Advocate. If
municipal ownership means, as 1t sure
ly does with proper civil service, a
great lessening of the corruption and
bossism in city government, there will
come out of it a consequent lessening
of the responsibility upon the rural
voter. The vote from the country is
the trial of the politician on election
night, for he knows that 1t tests the
honesty and efficiency of his particular
ticket. 1t is the country vote that is
the honest vote, despite the frequent
sneers of Eastern city politicians about
the dad" politics of Kansas and Ne
braska No doubt the farmers of the
West make mistakes when they vote,
but an investigation of their ballots
will never stir up the unmistakable
stencil that marks those iast in our
big cities.
