The Big Fight.

From all signs, the boxing con test which is scheduled to take place at Vnn Gunthcr's hall next Saturday evening, between Denver Ed. Smith and Charlie Johnson, of Valdez, should prove an exciting contest. Both men are in good condition, and there is no doubt but that the best man will win. Johnson has been training faith fully and in case of defeat will have no excuse to offer he will enter the ring weighing 175 lbs. and will not carry an ounce of super fOus flesh. Denver Ed will have the advantage of about 15 lbs, assd will tip the beam at 19O lbs, but in SD te of the extra weight he can <sN his eight miles over the snow with out turning hair, and feels confi- dent that he can turn the trick on Charlie in the specified six rounds.
 The curtain-raiser between w. H. Johnston and the Seattle dark horse should prove most interest ing bout. Johnston has proved his gameness on several occasions, and it has been whispered to the PsoerEcroR man that his opponent will be Jerry O'Brien, Denver Eds trainer, in which event Johnston will have to work hard to obtain tl'e winners end of the purse.
 A few ring seats may be obtained at the Bohemian saloon, price $2.OO, each; balcony seats, $50, and general admission, $1.OO.

Newport Is Gone.

The steamer Newport, with Capt. M. G. Love in charge, left here last Sunday for Seattle. Last fall the boat left here with number of passengers, bound for Seattle, but when near the entrance to Prince William sound her machinery broke down and she was drifting at the mercy 0i the waves when another steamer belonging to the same company came along and lowed her back to this port. where she has laid at anchor ever since. The Jeannie made an effort to take her out. also, but had to return. This time, however, she will go through, as she is in the hands of the unconquerable Capt. Love, who Ssas six men to assist him and machinery enough to work the winches and pumps, hut beyond that he will have to depend on the sails. He left here in tow of the Nome City, but it is expected that he will be east adrift on reaching the open sea. Capt. Love left here @n Nov. ,, last, and sailed the Ruby Cousins safely into port at Seattle, reaching there on Dec. I. She was leaky old hulk that had been wrecked on this coast, and after being patched up in crude way, and with scarcely any sail, made the trip in about month-the men being kept necessarily at the pumps in order to keep her afoat.

The advantages derived are clearly demonstrated by the rapidity with which merchants now get their goods.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC vICToRY
Result Of the First Balloting, 10 the Ger.
man Electlona.


Special Cah's DsspoaeA y TIE sun
BERLIN, June 1.-THE most conspicuous
features OF the elections next to the tn-
umph Of the Social Democracy are the
disintesration Of the Radical parties and
the defeat, almost amounting to annihila-
ton, OF the Agrarian League. In Saxony
the Social Democrats polled 10000 votes
moro than the other parties combined
and secured absolute majorities in eighteen
out Of a total Of twenty-three oonstitu-
encies. They further gained the right In
the remaining five constituencies TO par
take In the second balloting.
In Bremen. the only stronghold Of Radi-
calism in the Hanseatio cities, the Social
Democrats defeated Herr Frese, the Radi-
cal leader. and they considerably increased
their majorities In Hamburg and Lubbock.
With over one-fourth Of the results got
to be made known the Social Democrats
are able TO announce they have secured
fifty-seven seats, and also the right to par
take in the second balloting in l0l con-
sdtuenoies.
These figures are most significant. whom
It Is recalled that only thirty-two Social
Democrats were returned on the first ballot
In the elections Of 1898 Scarcely less sig
nificant IL the defeat OF the Agrarian League.
whose three leaders, Herren Rosioke, Hahn
and Lucke, have lost their seats irrevooably,
while Herr Oertel the organizing secretary
OF the league, has to contest second ballot
with a powerful Social Democratic oandi-
date.
The Centrists and Conservatives lost
a few seats on the first ballots. but they
will be strongly represented In the second
balloting They may succeed In main
tanning their previous strength. The LIB
eral Radical returns thus far are decidedly
mfavorable. Eugen Richter failed to Sc
cure an absolute majority on the first ballot.

whether "Murphy's Man" Or Not. Say
Murphy Men In Tammany.
Some OF Leader Charles F. Murphy's
friends in Tamrnany Hall grinned yester-
day at what they called the specious arsu-
mont Of some of the minority Tammany
leaders. to the effect that Mr.. Murphy
should not nominate Representative George
B. Mcclellan for Mayor because he, Mr..
Mcclellan. comes from Mr.. Aurphy's dis
trict and has always been known a. Mr..
Murphy's warm political friend, and II
elected would be known as Mr.. Murphy's
creation.
what nonsense that h?" said one Of
Mr.. Murphy's friends at the Democratic
Club last night what high -falutin frils
are getting into some of the Tammany
Leaders, That argument was advanced
by the friends Of John F. Carroll, and their
memories must be short for we all recol-
lect that it was Mr.. Carol! who brought
Of his personal friend Robert Van Wyck,
and during all Of Mr.. Van Wyck's term
he was known as Mr.. CAROLS Mayor
Now these men who have followed ne for

obi mighty bad, il Mr.. Murpn: 10 -,
nominate his personal friend Mr.. Mc> y
for Mayor.
Don't let us have any more Of this nom
sense about our candidate for Mayor. II
1t can be demonstrated that Mr.. Mcclellan
Is the strongest man for the organization
to put up. why, let's all put our shoulders
to the wheel and nominate him, and then
elect him; but II 1t can be demonstrated
that some other man than Mr.. Mcclellan
should be nominated in the interests OF the
organization, why we haven't the faintest
doubt that Mr.. Murphy will accede to
the combined wisdom Of his friends in the
