Northedge Defeats McMillan in Eight- een Rounds. RE ENGLISHMAN HAD THE BEST OF IT UP TO THE ELEVENTH ROUND WHEN NORTHEDGE BAL- LIED, THOUGH BADLY PUNISHED, AND WON THE FIGHT IN ONE HOUR AND EIGHTEEN MINUTES. Billy McMillan and George Northedge have been talking fight for a long time, and the knowledge that the two men were really com- ing together drew a large crowd of sporting men to the 7th street wharf yesterday morning who embarked on the steamer Pilot Boy for a point known only to a few of the initiated. About forty other men secured passage on the H. H. Keys, which was chartered by the Ameri- can Club for the trip and was well stocked with provisions, drinkables and good humor. ‘The fates and a passenger who wanted to buy & pair of rubber shoes carried the boat to land atthe wharf in Alexandria, and there the party were met by Steamboat Inspector Seville, who, as gently as possible, informed the cap- tain of the Keys that he was breaking the law by carrying passengers on his tug and if he pulled away with the passengers still on board it would be his duty. Se as it was, to see that he (the captain) was fine $500. The difficulty was overcome, however, as mentioned in yesterday's Stan, by hiring a schooner, to which the party were transferred aod the tug then towed the schooner and everybody smiled again—in both senses of the word. TALK EN ROUTE. After leaving Alexandria it was given out that Gunston’s landing was the chosen place, tnd from that on nothing but fight was talked. “He can't last. No wind. Ifhe don’t win in five ronnds he’s done for.” These were the opinions about Northedge. McMillan was sized up as able to stand almost unlimited punishment, especially around the head, and to be in the pmk of condition. It was 3:30 when Gunston’s wharf was reached, both boats arriving nearly at the same time. THE RING WAS IMMEDIATELY PITCHED on a springy meadow, hitherto in sole posses- sion of a number of mild-eyed cows who now looked their surprise at the sudden invasion of their peaceful feeding ground. The 300 menon that meadow, however, had nothing in common just then with soft-eyed cows, and the ring was speedily measured and staked off in a large open clearing on the top of a smal! hill overlooking the river and was of the regulation size—24 feet square. It was not long before THE FIGHTERS ARRIVED, both clad in heavy street clothes, with their fighting tights underneath. McMillan won the toss for choice of corners and chose the one with the sun at his back. Mike Reidy and George Goodwin looked after McMillan, while Ned Donuelly and Jack Hopper did the honors for Northedge. George Mantz was selected as referee, and though there was a good deal of wrangling over the choice it could not have been better, for he refereed the fight to the Satisfaction of all. Frank Fennelly and John Sullivan acted as time keepers. All prelimi- naries having been settled the referee ordered the men to prepare. McMillan was the first to strip. He looked in the pink of condition, weighed 146 pounds and wore white trunks. Northedge, on the other hand, looked as though he had trained too fine. He wore blue trunks and weighed 162 pounds. The skin- tight gloves having been donned the men sprang lightly into the ring at the call of time and sparred for an opening. It was just 4:08 when time was called. THE OPENING ROUNDS. First round—-MeMillan was the first to open the ball. With asharp left-hander he struck Northedge a vicious blow on the heart and fol- lowed it up with asmashin the mouth that brought the claret and gave the Englishman first blood. Northedge rallied at the close of the round and hit McMillan a hard one in the wind. The round closed by several rapid short- arm exchanges. Second round—MeMillan started to work at Once, and, after fibbling for an opening, found one and touched Northedge’s bugle with a hard straight-arm punch. Northedge retaliated by swinging his right, but the blow fell short and before he could get away the Englishman had raised a knot over his left peeper. Both got together immediately and the round closed amid great excitement. ‘Third round—Northedge rallied in this round and forced the fighting, but a hard smash in bis bad eye completely upset him and started that optic swelling. A left-hand lead by McMil- lan struck Northedge in the mouth and started it swelling. Northedge looked bad and weak. His left peeper was nearly closed when the round finished. NORTHEDGE A PITIFUL OBJECT. Fourth round—When time was called North- edge was a pitiful sight. His lip was swollen ‘twice its natural size and his left eye was com- etely closed, and in its place there was alarge eed lump about the size of an egg. Me- Millan went in and tried to finish his man and fought him hard in his corner. Northedge’s blows lacked steam and he looked disheart- ened. Fifth round—Both men were cautious, Mc- ‘Millan soon led and landed on his antagonist’s right eye, raising another lump. ‘He's going to close that eye.” shouted the crowd, but Mc- Millan was satisfied and waited for his man. Sixth round—McMillan was quite fresh when this round opened and fought Northedge all over the ring. Just asthe round closed M Millan avoided a vicious right-hander by a clever duck. Seventh round—Northedge had enough when this round was called and wanted to quit, but his seconds pushed him into the ring. North- edge was GROWING DESPERATE. He was covered with blood and his face was unrecognizable. He rushed at the Englishman, but a smash in the lefteye brought him to a Btandstill. He looked weak and not able to Stand another round. Eighth round—McMillan went to work at once and seemed to have Northedge at h uercy. |The latter, however, rallied and forced iac all around the ring. punishing him severely. ‘The crowd was wild. Ninth round—Mac played for Northedge’s eyes, intent on blinding him, and landed time and time again. Northedge hugged Mac at every opportunity and fouled him in breaking, but it was not allowed. Tenth round—This round was quite tame and consisted of long-arm fighting, with few ex- ebanges. NORTHEDGE RALLIES, Eleventh round — Northedge regained his second wind at this point and went for the lit- tle Englishman in earnest, getting the better Of the round. Mac showed no signs of weaken- ing. Northedge had changed his tactics, and, regardless of his face, went for MacMillian’s wind. From the twelfth tothe sixteenth rounds Northedge had the fight his own way. His body blows were telling on the little English- man, an@ several lumps in the regiou of the heart told of the punishment he was receiving. Seventeenth round—Mac tried to finish his Man with a swinging right-hander. but North- edge avoided him and hugged him when he got the chance. In the break Northedge got in @ rib-roaster and Mac trembled. THE LAST AND DECISIVE ROUND. Eighteenth round—Mac, although suffering. ‘Went over in his antagonist’s corner, where all the fighting had been, and forced matters, but Northedge was careful aud avoided him. Sharp short-arm fighting followed. McMillan, in get- , slipped, and Northedge sent ‘his terrific force into his bread basket countered on his jaw as he went ‘He's gone,” shouted the crowd. The referee took out his watch and Mac laid there while the ten seconds ticked by. “Northedge wins,” shouted the referee, but the pugilists couldn't hear him, and Mac pluckily rose only to be knocked down again by Northedge. The crowd then burst into the ring and Northedge was carried away on the shoulders of his friends, while Mac sat in his corner completely So ended the best fight that has taken place Ground Washington in recent years. Had Mac rushed his man in the early stage of the fight he would have undoubt- edi¥wou, for Nerthedge was whipped up to the th round His change of tactics Was all that saved him. Mae couid not guard his right, and Northeuge landed when he liked. Mac shows little or no sigus of punishmeat, while Northedge was badly used up. hteen min- men. The fight iasted one hour and Bes, da wr witnessed by about 400 Gaz Sascevar's Staz aboutAvalon Heights.”* CAPITOL GLEANINGS. ‘Wool Growers on the Tariff Bill—Nom- inations Confirmed—Committee Notes. The National Association of Wool Growers have issued a statement recommending to the committee on ways and means the following rates of duty for third-class wool: On such wool, the value whereof shall be 13 cents, in- cluding charges, the duty shall be 32 per centam ad valorem, and on such wool, the value whereof shall be over 13 cents, including charges, the duty shall be 50 per centum ad valorem, They say: These rates are slightly lower than those in the proposed bill upon the very inferior grade, but are higher upon the better grades, which come directly in competi- tion with our quarter blood and common wool, and we therefore request your earnest efforts to secure the enactment of the bill into law, with confidence and faith that this effect will be to place wool-growing again among the prosperous industries of the country. SPECIAL AGENTS OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION. A bill reported favorably by Senator Cullom yesterday from the committee on interstate commerce gives the interstate commerce com- mission authority to ute inquiries into alleged violations of e law by means of spe- cial agents to be appointed by the commission and to have power to administer oaths and send for persons and pupers. INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUORS. Mr. Kerr of Iowa yesterday reported to the House the bill to prohibit the transportation of intoxicating liquors into any state or territory contrary to the law of such state or territory. An amendment was proposed by the committee striking out the second section, relating to punishments for violations of the law. ‘THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The pension appropriation bill was reported yesterday by Senator Allison from the appro- priation committee. The only item in which it differs from the bill as it passed the House ix in an increase from $220,000 to $250,000 of the appropriation for clerk hire at pension agencies, THE POST QUARTERMASTER SERGEANTS. ‘Twenty-five printed pages of endorsements is the moral force put forward by the post quarter- master sergeants and commissary sergeants of the army in support of their endeavor to secure | at least #45 a month pay. An immense amount of eulogy is to be fotind inthe document, and for once the line and the staff in infantry, cav- alry and artillery are of one mind. ; PAYMASTER DOYLE’S ACCOUNT. ‘The Senate has passed the bill authorizing and directing the Secretary of the Treasury ‘‘to pay to Mrs. Selina Bestor, Orson H. Bestor and E. Francis Riggs, out of any money in the Treas- ury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $21,230.67, the same being the amount that was improperly turned over to the United States ‘reasury or to the disbursing officers of | the United States navy by the aforesaid parties in settlement of a deficiency in the money ac- count of Assistant Paymaster Jacob D. Doyle, United States navy, who at the time the defi- ciency oceurred Was insane, and that said sum be distributed as follows: To Mrs, Selina Bes- tor, the sum of $14,230. to Orson H. Bestor, the sum of 4,000, and to E. Francis Riggs, the sum of $3,000.” TO PREVENT DESERTIONS. The Senate committee-on the military and the militia has ordered a favorable report to be made upon the House bill to prevent desertions from the army. This measure provides for the retention from the pay of enlisted men the sum | of $4 month during the first year of his en- | listment. not to be paid to him until his dis- charge, and to be forfeited unless he served honestly and faithfully to the date of discharge. Enlistment is to be made for five years; atter three years’ faithful service the suldier shall receive afurlough for three months, and in time of peace. upon his own application, may be discharged at the expiration thereof. In time of peace aiso enlisted men may purchase their discharge under rules to be prescribed by the President. The present army ration is to be increased by the addition of one pound of vegetables, : THE NOMINATIONS referred to the Senate committee on military affairs have all been acted upon favorably and ordered to be reported, except that of Father Galvin, nominated as chaplain, which has gone over until next week for action. NOT PLEASANT ENOUGH FOR SOLDIERS. Somebody who wanted to make it pleasant for the regular army secured the introduction of a bill during the earlier part of this session providing for the establishment of a military post in the interior of Alaska, ‘he military committee of the Senate called upon the Secre- tary of War for his opinion and has received the same, It is based upon a letter written by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in which that warrior says: “There are very strong reasons why it would be injudicious to build or establish a military post on the Yukon river, in Alaska. The long and intense cold winters, when the mer- cury registers 60 degrees below zero, and the intense suffering that a garrison would be sub- jected to during the short summer. Officers who have been there report that the gnats and mosquitoes are intolerable, and that they doubt if any people could hive there with any comfort. Besides, there are scarcely any inhabitants in that valley, either whites or Indians, Should it be necessary to have troops in Alaska they should be stationed at Sitka, where the atmos- phere is warmed by the Japan current, and it never gets colder than 10 below zero. A garri- son at Sitka could send detachments where needed.” Gov. Knapp of Alaska has appealed for a gar- rison of some sort and it is more than probable that one will be established at Sitka, for the Secretary of War favors it, NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. ‘The Senate in secret session today confirmed the following nominations: John E. Helms, agent at Santee Indian agency, Neb.; James Low, collector of customs, Niagara, « Daniel Van Ness Harwood, postmaster, Kipo Wis. ; James Whitehead. receiver public moneys, Redfern, Neb.; J. H. Danskin, receiver public mone: Alliance, Neb.; F. M. Dorrington, register land office, Alliance, Neb. ; John Reese, register land office. Broken Bow, Neb. TO INCREASE PATENT OFFICE SALARIES. ‘The House committee on patents has di- rected a favorable report to be made on a bill to increase the salaries of officials of the Pat- ent Office. The bill provides salaries as follows: Commissioner, $5.000; assistant commissioner, $4,000; three examiners-in-chief, $3,500 each; examiner in charge of interferences and prin- cipal examiners, 73,000 each; one assistant ex- amiuer, $2,400; two assistant examiners, #2,000; three assistant examiners, $1,600; four assist- ant examiners at $1,200 for the first year, 1,300 for the second and $1,400 for the third and subsequent years of service. B. H. Waryer & Co, will present in Satur- day's Stax the best opportunity yet offered for prodtably investing small sums of money. Kead it carefully. - —_—>___ A Missing City Editor. Ten days ago M. 8. Cann, city editor of a local paper in Birmingham, Ala., left there for Eastern Kentucky, where he owned a small tract of mineral land, which had suddenly be- come valuable on account of a railroad being built through it. At Louisville Cann told a friend that while in the mountains he was going to obtain an interview with members of the Hatfield and McCoy bands of despera- does, He left Louisville for Eastern Kentucky a week ago last Monday. Since that time noth- ing has been heard from hi ‘Telegrams from Louisville state that he has not been heard from there since he started for the mountains. When he left he expected to return in less than a week, and his friends believe he has been murdered somewhere in the wildsof the Ken- | tucky mountains, —_——9e Arrested Just Before Marriage. From the Baltimore Sun. Marion E. Denison, who was charged with attempting an assault on a little. girl of the second district of Anne Arundel county, has been discharged from custody, the grand jury having found uo presentment against him. He has been in jail since Feb: 24, having boen arrested just on the event his marriage. FEDERAL ELECTIONS. The Bill Reported by Mr. Hoar in the Senate Yesterday. The federal election bill reported by Senator Hoar yesterday from the privileges and elec- tions committee is a very elaborate measure and provides with great detail and minuteness ascheme of national supervision of elections, It differs widely from the Lodge bill and 1t is essentially a government supervisory measure, The bill is a strictly party one, and it is so reported by the committee, the democratic members being utterly opposed to the meas- ure, both in detail and as a whole. The re- publican members of the committee reserve the right to offer amendments to the bill. It provides that the chief supervisors of elec- tions now in office, their successors and such chief supervisors as may hereafter be ap- inted, shall be charged in their ctive io icial districts, both in person and through the supervisors of election, who may be ap- pointed with the supervision of congressional lection with the enforcement of the national election laws and with the prevention of fraud and irregularities in naturalization. | Whenever in any city having 20,000 inhab- itants or upwards, or in any congressional dis- trict not in such city, 100 or more qualified voters shall petition the chief supervisor, that there is danger that unless the elec- guarded it will not be fair and free, the hief supervisor shall forthwith forward the petition to the United States circuit judge for | the district, thereupon it shall be the duty of | the judge to open court for the purpose of trans- acting all business pertaining to registration or election matters us may by any United States law there be transacted. The court, when so opened, shall be always open for the transac- tion of such business until the second day suc- ceeding the election, and the judge may exer- cise his powers either in open court or in chambers. Any male citizen of good charac- ter, a voter in the district and able to read and | write the English language, shall be eligible to | appointment as an election supervisor. | Whenever ‘vision of an entire Congres- sional district ll be petitioned for the fact shall be published byt e chief supervisor inat least reste! ers in the district, thereupon, on the day of election the state or local election | officers in each election district shall present | to the supervisors of elections in their districts | the statements heretofore required to be made. | The supervisors shall compare these returns with their own canvass. If they find them to be correct they shall so certify, in duplicate, and if incorrect shall certify in what particu- | lars, and also state ali facts within their knowledge bearing upon the fairness of the election. Minute and elaborate di- rections are provided for with regard to the enclosure. sealing and mai ‘these duplicate statement. one to the Uni States board of canvassers, hereafter provided, | and the other to the circuit court clerk for the | district. This board of canvassers is to con- sist of three persons of good repute to be ap- pointed by the United States circuit jndge upon the receiving from the chief supervisor of elec- tions the petition requesting supervision of the entire district. Not more than two of them shall belong to the same political party and they shall each receive $15 a day and $5 a day for personal expenses, Their clerk shall re- p 10a day. The board shall convene on the Monday following the day of a congres- sional election to finally canvass and tabulate the votes certified to them. They are au- thorized to require correction of im- perfect certificates or statements and to make investigation as to the correctness of any certificate and to administer oaths and take testimony of supervisors, The determination of the result of any election arrived at by any board of canvassers shall be at once made pub- lic. One copy of the certificate deciaring the result shall be filed with the chief supervisor, one forwarded to the person found to have | been elected, and copies also forwarded to the | clerk of the House and to the Secretary of State of the United States. These certificates shall constitute credentials of the person found to have been elected. ‘The bill further provides that every person charged with any duty with regard to any elec- tion of member of Congress who shall wilfully and for the purpose of effecting the election commit any fraud thereon shall be liable on conviction to a fine of not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment not exceeding five years, or both. The same penalty is provided for bribery or attempted bribery of voters. The Austra- lian bailot system finds no place in the provi- sions of the bill, except that it is provided that no state shall be prevented by the provisions of the bill from printing ballots at public ex- pense or providing regulations to screen each voter from observation and to keep his vote secret. Wherever an election of member of Congress 4s held at the same time with the election of any other officer there shall be upon each box for which ballots for members of Con- gress are cast a suitable label or inscription, THE LOUISIANA DELUGE. Sergt. Dunn’s Terrible Prophecy Has Come True. It is reported that many lives have been lost by the flood in West Baton Rouge, La. Forty- seven thousand square miles of land are flooded in Louisiana. United States Enginee: Douglass telegraphs that Point Pleasant tevee, Tensas | parish, gave way yesterday morning. Point | Pleasant is 23 miles below Vicksburg, and the | levee there is one of the most important on the Tensas front. A special to the Daily States announces the arrival of the relief steamer Davotah at Bayou Sara with distressing reports of the devastation | wrought by the floods. The Dacotah saved many lives and much property. ‘The people of | the flooded districts are in a pitiable condition |and the damage to property is incalculable. | The entire front of Pointe Coupee is under water. Most of the levees have gone. lun- dreds of lives are in jeopardy. Thousands of live stock have been drowned, and it is quite probable that human life has been sacrificed, | Grouped together on little knolls between the broken levees, through which the water rushed rapidly, were scores of white and colored peo- ple, some with babies in arms and others with | dogs secured by cords. Many possessed nothing |in ‘the world but their clothes, As many as | possible of these were taken aboard ‘the | steamer. Many cattle stood in the water starv- | ing. Maj.

It rained ali day Wednesday. but the river is fall- | ing. The worst has come in Pointe Coupee and the people are resigned. Maj. Glynn last night received a check for $500 from the police | jury of Terre Bonne parish for the benefit of the sufferers. A family named Burke, who resided several miles above Bayou Sara,were rescued this morn- | ing. ‘There were fifteen persons in the family, Monday morning they were the owners of @ large plantation, « well-equipped store and over 100 head of stock. Today nothing remains above water but the eaves of their residence | A crevasse 60 feet wide broke directly inl of the house at noon on Monday and the family had a lively time to reach the levee before six feet of water covered the place. ‘The crevasse | is now 400 feet wide. After discharging her lumber and other ma- | terial ut Grand Bay the Dacotah proceeded directiy to Old River and rescued 200 head of cattle that had been swamped for tour days, Coming down, stock and people were picked up everywhere, and when the Dacotah reached | Bayou Sara she had 1.000 head of cattle and nearly 500 people on board.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borue out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the | average daily circulation of the paper during | the year 1889, published im T: Sran on the 18th of January, 1590. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circn- lation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers publivhed in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and tuller circulation in the city where printed, im propertion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news Paper in the werld!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States tit! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-88, ISSS. ISSG. ISS7.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, cnd by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures foliowing teli the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED Et 1885-86-87 -88-3B 1855. ISS6. ISS7. ISSS, 1889.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertise: ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1859 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columus im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre- vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing im the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, fm proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereip made can be abundantly verified.
