WRESTLING.
 NIGHTS EVENT
Jack Roach and Dan Pickett
 are in Great Trim for Their Handicap Match Two Good Preliminaries.

Jack Roach and Dan Pickett will face each other tomorrow night in the Simonsville Athletic club rooms, and both lads are in perfect trim. They have trained faithfully and will be as hard as nails when they get after each other. Roach realizes that he has q hard task ahead of him to throw the husky youngster from the Washington Hill Athletic club two falls in one hour and he has put himself on edge for the encounter. Each has a big following and there is no doubt but that the rooms of the club will be filled to see the matches. There will be two pre- llminaries before the main contest.

richest to the poorest, from the highest to the lowest, an equal opportunity, a fair chance and a square deal. He is closer to the people today, in my opin- ion, and more in sympathy with their wishes and wants than any other man in our country. He is a remarkable man, a man of destiny. He combines the constructive genius of Jefferson, the courage, audacity and generalship of Jackson and the kindly sympathetic na- ture and intense Americanism of Abra- ham Lincoln. He is the man who does things. Knowing him as do and be- lieving in him as do, predict that he will go into American history as one of the greatest executives that has ever sat in the White House. He is not a partisan president. He is the president Of all the people. He believes in the people. and the people believe in him, and they will stand by him in his ef- forts to correct government abuses and write upon the statute books laws in the interest of all instead of the few.
 Notwithstanding the fact that am a Democrat, have always been a Demo crat and always expect to be Demo- crat, say to you that ever since Theo- lore Roosevelt has been president I have supported him honestly and loy- ally in his efforts to secure certain re- forms and rights for the people.
 T intend to stand by the president whenever I believe he is right in the future as in the past I believe in Theodore Roosevelt's Americanism. He will live in history, and to paraphrase stanza from Lowells commemora- tive ode on Lincoln, say
 His traducers and detractors will depart. And, standing like tower, our children's
 children
 Will behold the glory of his fame;
 This kindly. brave, farseeing man,
 New birth of our new growth,
 An intense American.
 "Now few words about the senate. The senate of the United States is to- day an aristocratic, autocratic and plu- tocratic body. It is the most un- Demo- cratic, the most un-Republican, the most un-American institution in our political system. Some of the senators are all right, but most of them are gen erally wrong and try to stay wrong. Today forty-five United States sen- ators, controlled by the trusts, con- trolled by the great corporations. con trolled by plutocracy, have it in their power to prevent the repeal of a bad law, no matter how anXiously the American people may want it repealed, and have it in their power to prevent the enactment of good law. no matter how determined S0,000,000 of people may be in favor of it. Just think of it. my friends, forty-ive men in the Unit. ed States senate practically control and run the government of the United States. spurn the executive, spit upon the house of representatives and bid defiance to the American people. "We can never secure the reforms the American people want and demand we can never change the plutocratic system now enthroned and in power throughout the country until we re, form the senate of the United States

JOHN l.. IN EARNEST.


 John l.. Sullivan still insists that his challenge to James J. Corbett is not joke Johns latest utterance is:
 1.-The challenge is on the level. but I don't want to fight Corbett just yet, as I'm not in shape to do that. But I'll be all right in say six months from now. I've figured it all out. I can take off fifty pounds in that time and will be as good as ever. All I want is one wallop at him and it vii, be good-day. I've got tip that boxing will be revived in New York soon and that eight round bouts will be per mitted. So I want to get Corbett in the old town again where ] can nut it all over him. I'll bet S10.0O0 that I can store away that dude. He's tue only blot on my renutation.'
 John makes these periodical out bursts. with Corbett as the chief mark, but he has never made such bold, as- sertions before. If bout between Corbett and Sullivan could be regard ed as a possibility. it would probably draw an immense crowd. especially if it could be pulled of in Madison stnlare garden. F"ndreds would go there to root for Sullivan. the old idol. but from a puoilistic standnoint the go would probably be huge joke. Sullivan could never stand vigorous training. He weiehs nearly ROO pounds today and q loss of fifty pounds wnr'd sn weaken him that it wnnld be difficult for him th stand up. Sullivan wor'd find it q difficult mat ter to raise S1OO0O for such an object. and even if he did scrane the coin to- gether. Corlett would probably refuse | to meet the old fellow for humane reasons. 4as alU.!t

TOM SHARkEY
 AFTER G0TCH
Would Like to Try Gut the New Heavyweight John L. Sullivan Says He Means Business.

Tom Sharkey is certainly peculiar person. After having announced his retirement from the ring forever, the ex-sailor has come forward and de- clares that he is ready to don the mitts again and let fly a few wallops.
 The fighter or rather wrestler, who is responsible for raising Sharkey's ire is Frank Gotch, the heavyweight who has announced his intention of fighting Jim Jeffrics.
 Sharkey announced yesterday that if Gotch is anxious for fight he will accommodate him, and also agree to have the battle in private or before any club that will offer a suitable purse. Sharkey would make a good tryout for Gotch.

CANT TRANSPORT TROOPS
Tie Up Of the Railroads Proves Scri-
Ous-SOcial Democrats Believe They
Have the Government at Their
Mercy.

st. Petersburg. October 25.-Oy-r
half of European Russia is in the "Trip
Of the striking railroad men. and the
strike continues to spread rapidly IN
all directions. The roads in the Volga
region are at a %standstill. and today u
general strike was proclaimed On the
two remaining lines running out Of st.
Petersburg.
The social democrats believe they
have the government at their mercy.
since with the railroads stopped the
authorities are powerless to transport
troops. This is all the more. sc;:.us
as bloody collisions already have been
reported at various places. and {. dan
gerous agrarian movement has again
broken out in the government of Sam
aria.
The strength displayed by the social
democrats has amazed the authorities.
who were taken quite as much by
surprise as at the evidence Of their
power as they were at the time of the
"Gapen rebellion"
There was considerable excitement
today at all the railroad stations.
which are in possession of the troops.
Not a train departed. The railroad
battalionS were called and an attempt
will be made to man a train to Mos
COW and the frontier tomorrow.
Collisions are feared. Great crowd
assembled at the Moscow station and
gendarmes interfered twice to restore
order. but there was no bloodshed.
There are 400, 900 railway employees
in the Empire and their average wage
is $140 per annum.
The reports show an enormous ex-
tension of the strike. All the Poland
lines are tied up. and a strike has be-
gun on Great Southwestern system.
covering the territory southwark from
Kieff toward Odessa.
The railroad stations here are
guarded by police and troops. The
| soldiers in barracks are kept under
| arms and duads Of cossackS are in
the streets which are filled with idle
men.
| Prince Hilkoff believes that the
| strike cannot be prolonged as the men
| are without funds. Besides his he de-
| clares it is impossible for the :1en to
| realize their dream of tieing I'D all the
railroads simultaneously. With the
assistance Of the railroad %battalions
some trains. the prince says will be
run.
Some of the revolutionary leaders
| here declare the present strike is SIM
| ply a test of strength as q prelude to
a complete strike Of all the social
| prOuDS.
