Ciiteaco, May 19,—Kmery B, Storrs returned to Chicago to-day, after an ab. sence in New York and Washington of nine weeks. ““What news do you bring back with you?” “Encouragoment very material for tho friends of Arthur; I will not say that he is my choice, but if he were and I de- sired somebody else above him, I should be obliged in justice to concede that he is gaining strength all the time. 1 have collateral clientage in New York, and I been spending seven weeks with the solidests business men there, they all say Arthur is the man of their choice; one after another. The solid and conserva- tive business interest, pronounce that Arthur is the safest man of all.” AN ILL WIND, *‘What effact has the New York panic had on the presidential question?” “‘Ithas had the very decided etfect of strengthening sentiment for Arthur; it has had the effect of convincing the people that by conservative administra- tion can recurreuces be avoided, and it has had effect greater than all, showing the danger of a change in the policy of the administration and the risk run in placing at head of nation, we man who is too inexperienced ’or ra%. to success- fully steer the craft.’ KANSAS FOR HIM. LeavesworrH, May 19.—The Leaven- worth Times will publish a statement in the morning that letters have been re- ceived here and within the state within a few days from both Senators Plumb and Ingalls saying that they favor the nomi- nation of Arthur on the ground that he is the strongest man named, and is certain to carry New York. It is now belioved Arthur will have fully halt of Kansas’ eighteen votes in the Chicago convention. MAOVEAGH'S VENOM, HE VENTS IT ON ARTHUR. PmiLapELenia, May 19.—The Times to-morrow will contain an open letter from ex-Attorney General MacVeagh to ex-Secretary Bristow on Arthur, as a presidential candidate. It opens thus: *‘I notice that you are announced to ad- dress a meeting to-morrow night in New Yok in support of the proposition that the poli‘ical career of Chester A. Arthur minkes his elevation to the presidency by the votes of his fellow citizens more de- sirable than that, for instance, of SENATOR EDMUNDS, or Senator Slierman, or any other of our eminent pubiic men, whose names are frequently used in connection with that greav office. As you extorted my admira- tion and support, and Mr, Arthit's con- temptuous hosulity, eight years ago, by your effurts to bring the guilty in high Places to punishment, I am sorry to find myself diff ring ko radically from you as to the presant duty of men who care for a higher and purer public life; but MY WAKM PEKSONAL REGARD for you makes mo desirus that your speech shoula be & good speech, even in abad cause I veuture, therefore, to offer you a few suggestio s at the thresh- old. T ought to warn you that while nobody envies Mr. Archur's great priz:, as far beyond his expectation as his deserts, which he drew from the lottery of asssassivation yetv nobody has forgot. teu the preguant fact that GUITEAU was the origzinal wai; that he killed President Gartiold «xpressly to make Mr, Arthur president, aud that he did ske him president by that act for nearly four years. Nowin view of this awiul treg- edy and its results, it has always secmud to'a good many people, outside of Wall atroet, of course, that a proper ssnse of dosency and tho titness of things would have, led President] Arthur aud his friends to reo that his trua course was to bo satisfied with one term thus se- cured to him, and not o chullenge his conutrymen to REVIEW HIS CAREER, and to express their opiaion on it; as, however, you purposs to hold up that career a8 worthy of expecial honor, and even of the higest «flica in the ift of the people, in prefercuce, for exumple, to tho political esreer of Senator E luands or Seuator Sherman, I will gladly heip you to s few poiuts in the line of your Brguient.

This resulted, he said, from the fact that all sorts of alleged in- tarviews were published broadcast, which never took place at all, with any mem- ber of the delegation. Continuing Cas- sidy said: **The visit to Gramercy pal was COAST PURELY SOCIAL, and originated in this way: Represonta- tive Spriggs, of Utica district, New York, is an old and intimate friend of Governor Tilden, Judge Spriggs being about to go to New York, invited me to accompany him and we went together to pay our re- spects to the distinguished statesman. Later the party was enlarged to include a portion of a delegation from California. As the visit was purely social and wholly non-political* as a sense of propriety it was, &uummlcnl that the delegation should rofrain from rushing into print, but the object of the visit having boen misintorp- reted and widely misrepresented, 1 focl it is simply just to disclose ALL THAT TOOK PLACE, Governor Tilden received the party with great cordiality and_the interview lasted nearly an hour. Whilo its true that one of his arms isafllictod his general health is remarkably good, not too robust. The governor threw back the heavy folding doors in presence of his visitors and mov- ed about with as much actiity as a man of forty. His mind is as strong and clear as ever before in hislife, as to his ability to stand the fatiguo and excitement of the campaign, I think his chances in that direction will be as good as those of any otherman. The only reference made to POLITICS was when the member of the delegation, addressing Tilden said: ‘Governor, we are all your friends. Weare all Tilden men, as are all democrats on the Pacific coast.” In reply the governor said: ‘I am not a Tilden man,” which was con- strued by someof thevisitors asadeclara - tion that he would not be a candidate for the presidency. For my own part I left Tilden in a firm conviction, judging from all surroundizgs that he WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT the nomination if tendered him by the Chicago convention. I may be mistaken about it, but certainly came away with that opinion.” WASHINGTON NOT! THE LABOR BUREAU, Special Dispatch to ThE T WasHiNgreN, May 19.—While the bill to create a bureau of labor statistics was before the senate to-day, Senator Van Wyck proposed two amendments, \ ato appowmt as commissioner a person identified with labor interests; the other to make inquiries as to all foreign immi- gration under contract, and said:—To make this bill of any value, the chief oficer should be one ideotified with labor. FOREIGN LABOR. Why stop at inquiry into Chinese im- migration ¢ Direct it to all foreign labor coming here under contract. The latter is more destructive of American intereats. True it may interfere with the privi- lege heretofore exercised by iron and glass manufactures to supply contract labor from Europe, and thus take the bread from the mouths of our own people. All the labor organizations demand the above amendments. _You say they ask for this bill. See to it, when they ask for bread, you do not give them a stone. We can and should legislate to day in the interest of labor, and not wait for the creation of any bureau, THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH, Three-fourths of the American people are demanding the establishment of postal-telegraph; forfeiture of unearned lands by railroads; the rescue of what is left of the public domain from the grasp of companies, native or foreign, from fraudulent preemptions, timber culturo and desert entries, and reserving the same for homesteads for actual settlers. These and many other measures impera- twvely demand, but receive but little at- tention in congress. THE RAILROADS, The result of reckless and extravagant legislation at the demand of railroads, is upon us. This panicis worse than com- munism, Congress and the courts are responsible. THE COURTS have been ready to supplement when congress failed to yield to all the de- mauds of greed.

Tho fight was with small soft gloves, O rounds, Queensbury rules. The first round was a give and take, without any apparent advantage for either, In tho second, Dalton made a stout rush and fought his opponent sll over the platform, for a time, but GOODE RALLIED and had rather the best of it for the rest of the round. In the third and last round Dalton made another rush, and putting in heavy blows knocked Goode down and off the stago, between the ropes, giving him a slight push as he went over. When Goode came up again, Dalton rencwed the rushing tactics, and amid GREAT EXCITEMENT, In a struggle at close quarters, he brought Goode down in the corner again, and as ho lay upon the platform Dalton struck at him. The fight was renewed, and by a swift rush aud the propelling force of his body, rather than by his blow, bore Goode down between the ropes, and taking hold of his ankles as- sisted his fall to the floor below, at the same time thousand DEALING A KICK in his divection.
