WITH THE WREsTLERS.

. George Bothner had a big, ht1ky hatcher named AIilcken 3s an opponent at Pete Burns's place in Harlem last night, and although it took him more thap six minutes the little fellow final ly rolled his man over on his back and won the match. In preliminary Jack Harvey of Brooklyn threw Tom Matthews of Boston in minutes and 4 seconds.
 The wrestling match between Paul Pons, of France, and Little of Mon treal, which took place Monday night, resulted in an easy victory for Little. The match was for purse of $500, Graeco-Roman style. The conditions were that Pons had to throw Little five times within one hour. Pons weighed 32O pounds, Little 16S. The Frenchman evidently thought that he had an easy thing, but Little showed much science, and despite his utmost efforts POns was unable to throw him once.
 A wrestling match that will bring together the two best amateurs of the east and west has been arranged to take place in St Louis on March %. The match will be at catch-as-catch- can according to Amateur Athletic un- ion rules and will bring together Hen " Abeken, amateur middleweight champion of the Turner's of America, 1 who resides in St Louis, and Maxey Wiley of Rochester. The latter holds to \. A. U. championships and is also ex-middleweight champion. In the last championships held, Wiley, who had swept the boards the year previ- ous, kept up his good work by again | winning in the classes he entered. Good judges say that he will strike l | hard man ill the westerner.

PERFORMERS BEATEN.
Advocates of Sunday Bicycle Racing
 Win at the Polls.

Newark, March 13.-The question as to whether Sunday bicycle racing should be allowed in Nailsburg was de- cided in the affirmative at an eXcit- ing election in that borough yesterday. For weeks there has been a hot and bitter fight between the reform fac tion, which was against the Sunday racing, and another faction, which dubbed itself the Citizens.
 The entire Citizens. ticket, headed by Thomas Connolly, was elected by q majority of %. Both factions worked like beavers all day. In an ticipation of trouble at the polls, spe- city force of deputies was sworn in early in the day, but there was no disorder. As a result of the election there will be race meets on the Vails- burg board track this season as usual

A F1NANcrAL DIFFERENCE.

George MeFadden, who won $2,6OU by beating Hawkins at San Francis co, will start for New York in few days, as he cannot get fight with Frank Erne. Though McFadden chal- lenged Erne for the lightweight cham pionship, he can get no reply from Erne, except that the latter will fight no one but Terry McGovern and him at the lightweight limit. McFadden deposited $500 as forfeit to cover his challenge, so he may claim the light weight championship of the world by default, unless Erne changes his mind, and the latter says that he will not do so. McFadden will go to New York to bring out his wife. He will try to get fight with the best man ill the lightweight division as soon as possible McFadden started for the coast with 50 cents in his pocket, and comes back quite wealthy.
 THOSE WATERBURY BOUTS. Fresh from his victories across the water, and filled with all confidence in himself, Charlie McKeever reached here Monday night, took quarters at the Plaza and prepared for his train ing for the contest with the Black Demon, Joe Walcott, on the Fist, at [ the Auditorium. Yesterday afternoon 1 Mckeever and his trainer. went to the Washington Hill Athletic club, where ! he is to train with George Mulligan. i Mckeever was a surprise to number of trained athletes, who were there to meet him. He stripped as clean as
 Il willow branch, and, although bit !fat. the back muscles and the expanse
 and depth of chest showed that it
 would take but little training to put
 him into the pink of ring condition. Concerning George NIulligan, who
 boxed with him yesterday afternoon,
 Mckeever says that he is q coming
 winner and that there is the stuff
 in the tall young fellow to make a
 shining light in the ring.
 | When asked what he thought his
 chances were in the coming bout with
 Walcott, he allowed one of those pc
 culiar smiles to come over his face,
 and the only answer that he could be induced to give was that Walcott was
 a pretty tough proposition but that he
 had ran up against just as hard and
 won. If McKeever's confidence in
 himself, his cleverness and his mag
 nificent condition count for anything,
 Joe Walcott will have to put up tue
 battle of his life to get even draw.

O'Hara played good halfback for Brockton, but had the fault of holding the players. But then that didn't matter, for Tom Cotter was sduaring up for that marble somebody threw at him years ago in the Salem rink, and wouldn't see anything except Salem fouls unless he had to.-Salem News.
 Russell will be laid off to rest and Manager Parsons will take to the skates again in his place. "Bil'' has got q few tricks left up his sleeve yet and will make the Portlands guess when he gets at them Wednesday night.

KELLY AND CURLEY.

The uefeat or sammy Kelly, the featherweight, by Will Curley in Eng land on Monday night was not a sur prise to ring followers Curley, when he showed at the Broadway A. c. a year ago with George Dixon, was pro- nounced fairly clever pugilist. but not heavy puncher. Kelly, on the other hand. shot his bolt some time previous, when Terry McGovern put nm away in the same ring in five rounds. Kelly is another one of those fighters who does not know when he has got enough. When he matched himself with McGovern his friends told him that he was making a mis- take, but Kelly was deaf to such ad- vice and met his inevitable Waterloo. The fact that Kelly was disuualified for dropping twice to the floor with out receiving punch in the seventh round, and that all bets were de clared off in his fight with Curley. can be taken to mean that the Ameri- can must have been in the poorest Kind of trim, for during his career in New York Kelly never was charged With foul play or dishonest methods Ills experience should teach other back numbers that England is not entirely filled with easy pugilistic marks.
 BOXING SAFE AT LOUISVILLE
 Louisville. March 13.-Boxing is safe here, for the present at least.

FOUR DISPLEASED REDMEN.
Winnebago Delegation Creates n
Scene at the Indian Office.

Four Indians, apparently on the war
path, created a stir at the Bureau of In
dian Affairs yesterday. They were consid-
erably under the influence Of fire water,
and the refusal of the Acting Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs to receive them
seemed likely to lead to unpleasant con-
sequences.
The Indians. it is claimed, were an I'M
authorized delegation of Winnebagos from
Nebraska. and had come here to contest
the right of another delegation of the
same tribe to represent the interests Of
their people.
1t is claimed that the disorderly Indians
came to this city entirely of their own
yoiition and at their own expense, and
have succeeded in nothing except making
themselves Objectionable. They have, in
the words of the agent. who has had
considerable trouble with them during
their stay here since last Saturday, had
a big time" and have spent all their
money. 1t is said that they will have to
be sent back home at the Government 5
expense.
The alleged self-constituted delegation
consisted of Chiefs John y. Logan, John
Harrison, Walking Priest, and Interpreter

AN OIL LAND DECISION.
Privileges Under the Forest Reserve
Lieu Land Law Denied

The Secretary of the Interior yesterday
rendered decision affecting claimants to
oil lands under the placer mining laws
and claimants holding the land under the
privileges of forest reserve lieu land selec-
ton. The decision is in favor of the
claimants under the placer mining laws.
The matter has been under discussion for
some time and many prominent attorneys
have been concerned in it. Many cases
involving the point have been contested
and it was agreed among the various
parties concerned that the two just de-
cided by the Secretary should be consid-
cred test cases.
The parties in the cases are the Kern
OIL COMPANY, the Gray Eagle OIL Com
pany, and W. c. Clarke. The land in con-
test lies in the Kern oil district, Califor-
MIA. Clarke claimed he had title to the
land under dispute by virtue of the forest
reserve lieu land law passed by Congress
owners of titled lands within forest re-
serve may surrender such land to the
limited States and select in its place an
equal quantity of vacant public land open
TO settlement. Clarke located upon the
land in dispute, having surrendered forest
land to which he claimed to have tue
from the State of California Some time
later he made second surrender oil lands
In favor of the same homestead selection.
The decision Of the Secretary holds that
the forest reserve lieu land selector had
never perfected his selections and there
fore decides in favor of the oil claimants.

ITO the Hon. Charles II. Allen. Governor
of Porto Rico.
came to Porto Rico bearing commission
from the great American Republic to in
auGurate civil government upon our ISL
and home, the beautiful Pearl of the
Antilles
You came, sir, to a docile, hospitable,
and oppressed people, who were discour
aged by many years of public misfortune
aud misrule, without faith or confidence
In their former governing power and over
whelmed by terrible economic crisis.
Upon your arrival a new hope leaped
in the hearts of the people of Porto Rico
The establishment of civil government in
Porto Rico had been for more than a
quarter of century the fondest dream
and the most precious expectation Of our
people. 1T was the ideal which sustained
us In the long and painful struggle against
the oppressive rule of Spain. That cher
ished dream, that sacred expectation, that
noble ideal, sir, became to us a reality
with your arrival upon our island home!
