Columbus, o., Aug. 24.--Cspl)-At the
Governors Office last night no further
word had been received from Akron,
and Governor Nash does not antici.
pate any further trouble. However,
both the Governor and Adiutant Gen
eral Gyger, remained at the executive
office until late hour. While State
authorities will furnish the Summit
county officials all possible moral
support in bringing the rioters to jus
tice, both Governor Nash and Attor-
ney General Sheets last night denied
a report that the Attorney General
would be sent to Akron to assume
charge of the prosecution. Governor
Nash intimated that this would he
reflection upon the county prosecutor.
"Only twice in the history of the
State said the Governor, "has the
Attorney General been sent to take
charge of IA county trial. IN both these
cases the State was financially inter.
ested. The first was the famous Bres,
lin Gibson robbery, by which the State
lost over 100000, which was tried
| by Attorney General Wolcott. The sec
ond was the case of Fred Newburg,
who raised vouchers in the State In
surance office. AS Attorney General, [
assisted the prosecutor of Franklin
county in this case at the request of
Governor Foster"
1t is understood here that r. NJ. Wan
amaker, Prosecuting Attorney of Sum
nit county, though but young law
yer, is an unusually efficient and ener-
getic official, and there is ample con,
fidence here that his prosecution Of
the rioters will be rigid and unswerv-
ing. The state, however. will step
in to investigate one feature of the
riot. and is enabled to do so because
of the creation of the new department
of the State fire marshal. Marshal
$. d. Hollenbeck left for Akron at
midnight to institute an investigation
into the incendiarism which was open
and unconcealed.
The only disturbing news from Ak
ron early in the day was the receipt of
Ia request from Assistant Adjutant
General C. r. Adams whom Governor
Nash has designated to command the
troops in the field, that 200 tents be for
warded, and the return TO the city

his desk today, the Governor did
not disturb him during the night but
personally attended to all the minutae
of getting the troops started.
Though owing, it is said, to the gen

were slow in transmission and the
news filtered out slowly, the Fourth

miles northeast of the city, at 4:10 a.

annals of the Ohio National Guard
Governor Nash was not apprised of the

the regiment was at Blendon station,
on the Cleveland, Akron a. Columbus
had broken the record for quick train

was at Blendon station soon after the

Governor Nash also ordered Com

that Mayor Young had complained
that Captain Herman Werner, of Com.

of Company =, had refused to bring
their companies to the assistance OF
the beleaguered city officers and police
when summoned last night. AS the
Mayor had full legal right to call on
all state troops which were in Sum,

these captains would subject them to
court martial. However, Assistant Ad,

that both captains had attempted to

Fitz stepped in with n right to body
and left to head. Sharkey was wild,
but Fitz sent him to the floor after
succession of rights and lefts on
face. Sharkey took the count, and
got up groggy, and staggered back to
the ropes. F'itz went after him, and
hooked his left to the jaw. Then he

key was unable to protect himself
Then Fitz sent hard right to the
body, and hooked his left to the jaw,
and as Sharkey was staggering he
hooked his left to jaw, sending Shar-
key down the second time. Sharkey
struggled to regain his feet, but fell
over on his hands and face, with his
head turned rather under his body.
The round lasted two minutes and six
seconds. He struggled gamely, at
tempting to get up but the right on
body and left on jaw had done their
work, and Sharkey was counted out
by the referee. who declared Fitzsim-

When Fitzsimmons was declared the
winner the crowd surged toward the
ring, but the police got ahead of them,
and drove them back. Fitzsimmons
was congratulated by those nearest to
his corner. and then ,hc ran over and
grasped Sharkey by the gloved hand.
Fitz almost danced with delight when
stepping back from Sharkey's corner,
and as he walked to his dressing room
he was loudly cheered. Sharkey in the
meantime had recovered very quickly

to leave the ring as soon as Fitzsim'

The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city of Tien
Tsin on the morning of July 18th, and
succeeded in preaching the walls and
capturing all the forts. The Chinese
were completely routed and the allies
took possession of the native city and its
defenses. The total losses of the allies
in the engagements of Thursday, Friday
and Saturday were about 500 killed or
wounded. The casualties were greatest
among the Russians and Japanese.
President Mckinley on hearing the
news from Pekin and Tien Tsin decided
to go to Washington from Canton
where he has been resting. At Cabinet
meeting it will be decided whether an
extra session of Congress will be called
to deal with the Chinese situation. A
Cabinet council came to no definite con-
clusion. Troops will be rushed to China.
The American force there may be in
creased to $4,000.
