IN THE SECOND ROUND.
sharkey Was Beaten into InsensibiIity by
Fi'z,immon$ Before the Fight Had
Really started.

New York, Aug. 25.-Whipped in
to insensibility in less than two
rounds is the story in brief of Tom
Sharkey's meeting with Bob Fitz-
simmons at the Coney Island Sport
ing club last night. Fitzsimmons
was the victor, Sharl1ey the loser.
Fitzsimmons was a decided favorite
in the betting, owing to his showing
with Rubin short time ago. When
the men met last night both of them
declared themselves to be in frst-class
condition and they certainly looked
it. Fitzsimmons had taken on few
pounds of weight since his meeting
with Rubin, but neither he nor
Sharkey would tell his actual weight.
Sharkey looked to be about 20 pounds
the heavier.

WAS IT MALICIOUS?
Man Arrested In Omaha for an Alleged
Threat to XIII Bryan ReIea ed After an
Investigation by the Police.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 27.-An anarchist
who is employed in the smelter in
this city announced to one of his fell
low-workmen that he was going to
kill William J. Bryan when he came
to attend the Jacksonian picnic Sat
urday afternoon. The police were
notified and at once began to scour
the city for the man and arrested
him an hour later. The mans name
is William H. Williams, Welchman.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent anything happening to the
candidate while in this city.
The police Saturday released Will
liams, who was arrested at noon
on a charge of having threatened the
life of William j. Bryan. The police
failed to verify the charge and now
believe that the information denounc-
ing Williams was irresponsible if not
also malicious.

PATRIOTIC SONG SERVICE.
Opening Ceremony of the Grand Army En-
campment Attended by Crowd " hich
Taxed Capacity of Hail.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Despite a rain,
which fell at times with the energy of
a stream from a garden hose and de-
generated periodically into a cold,
soaking drizzle, the grand patriotic
and sacred song service at the Coli
scum last night was attended by
throng which taxed the capacity of
the immense building to the utmost.
After a musical selection had been
rendered by the band the vast audi
ence joined in the Lords prayer, be-
ing led by Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, of
Chicago, and then Bishop Fallows ex-
tended a warm and eloquent welcome
to the visiting veterans.
Veterans and visitors to the en-
campment came in by the thousands
yesterday, every incoming passenger
train being packed to the doors.
Railroad officials estimated that fully
$4,000 people arrived during the day,
of which number $4,000 were MEM
bers of the G. A. R. Forty-five thou
sand strangers had arrived previously,
over 1900 of whom were veterans,
a total of $4,000 already in the city
and reports from the railroads and
from G. A. r. headquarters indicate
that to-day's arrivals will swell the
number to a record-breaking total.

with the Pastor.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 26.-Rev. w. M.
Hindman, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, which Mr.. Bryan at
tends, has been asked to resign by the

of one of its distinguished members.
He is also accused of worldliness.
Last Sunday in a sermon on what
Is Needed in Public Life he made
some statements not exactly favor
able to the Lincoln candidate for
president. This caused a row in
church circles and at a prayer meet
ing a heated controversy arose about
the pastor, as result of which it

Washington, Aug. 27.-The war de
pertinent has made public letters
found among the papers of Gen.
Ricart, recently arrested by the po-
lice near Manila. Among them is an
unsigned letter in regard to an attack

that the reason for not carrying out
the proposed attack was because of
the small number of resolute persons
stationed at the gates, and because
Gen. Otis had gone aboard ship in
Manila bay. Another attack was
planned but not carried out because
the enemy made careful search
of the city as a result of disturbances

purchase of the Hsinkutschau prov
ince from China with the viceroy at

of $1,OoO,O00 made by England to the
viceroy. The district is considered
to be extremely valuable and espe-
cially rich in minerals. It's possession

AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS.
Allied Forces Have Invested Psksn, But
Have Not Occupied It-Chaffee Says
Fighting Is Ended.

London, Aug. 27.-The latest news
from Pekin indicates that the situa-
ton there is unchanged. The i'm
peria1 city is still invested, but has
not yet been occupied. The allies,
when the last message left, were still
refraining from aggressive action,
pending instructions from their gov
ernments. An attack from 10000
boxers was anticipated and, to meet
this, the whole American force and the
British artillery. according to dis
patch to the Morning Post from
Pekin, dated August 49,. was moved
to the outer city wall. The boxers
were reported coming from the south.
Shanghai ativices say that the re-
port of the capture of Emperor
Kwang Su by the Japanese was err
roneous. It was case of mistaken
identity.
The PelIin correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, wiring August 10, reas-
serts that the empress dowager fed
westward and adds: ''She has
body guard of 1900 and, as the noun
famous character of the country
would prevent artillery following, it
is believed that she will not be pur-
sued.''

hal, Aug. 26-The allied troops have
surrounded the imperial city and sta
toned sentries at the gates. They
