But Gam the Last— The ight of Lives, to Greatest dheir The Fight Cnicaco, Feb, 13 world's lightweight tween Jack MeAuliff North Judson, Ind., ended tc in four hours and thirty-five & sixty-four round affair, of light sparring most accurate by Rounda, The £500 a side ship fleht be Moyers, at day in a draw inutes. It was consisting chiefly with the science ever seen m the ring. The blood-thirsty genticmen were all disappointed, Each of the contest ants in the battle satisticd his_backers, and people most interested seemed to consid this achievement the height of modern at tainment in the ring. If, however, instead of from 0,000 to $0,000 hanging upon the result, there had been a_purse of #500 or so, general opin 10n dppears to be that thero would have been o gonuine fight, and, as talk gocs, Myers would have stood a good chance of winning. Dick Roche, the backer of MeAuliffe, openly congratulated Myers in the rin® and agreed to back him withi £5,000 against’ anybony in the world. “The fight secmed badly mans only masterly strokeof policy the naming of Michael C. McDonald, the well known ex-gambler of Chicago, as ref. rree. It was past 7 o'clock 1n the morning when the fight began. Upon rgaching Judson the fighters went at' once to bed, and all the time from midnight until moruing outsiders were cn- during the cold in tramping the streets or riding up and down the railroad to carey out the various pretexts on which the public of- fieials had allowed themselves 1o be “per. sunded” that everything was in accordance with law. Betting was scldom 8o spirited siniilar event. *Odds were even™ in_almost every wager. One stakehold d $11.500, another £3,200, and there were enough others 0 foot up i cortainty of 11,000, besides the original stakes and gate mcacy of over €,000. Just as the fight bewan, Roche, MeAuliffe’s b bet §500 on first blood and for the first Jknock down for A few smaller bets were made on the same issues, and Myers’ backers won both events. Myers scored first blood 1n the twenty-ninth round and the first knockdown in the forty-third. This is the only money of the thousands up which chunged hands on the fight, The Streator people had been saying that Myers would almost at_the very siart break MeAuliffe's neck, and the smart_castern fel lows elaimed to be sure that MeAuliffe would in in *“one bloody punch.” Neithe assertion ny anywhere near correct. The style of fighting was usually @ lead by MeAuliffe, which_ was either countered sinely or double by Myers. MeAuliffe’s ap- pearance * and action was superb, while Mvers showed an awkwarduess ana lack of finish that would have been fatal but for the marvellous quickncss e was seen to posse ‘The high state of training in which both men entered the ring cansed a blow o red- ded the skin instanuly, but the mark faded almost as suddenly as it came, and on the way home neither principai could be picked out by the crowd by the marks he bore, Twice during the fight Myers failed only by @ hair breaath to knock McAuliffe out, but the latter's science checkmated the strongth und quickness of Myers, justas those two qualitics saved the Streator boy from the powerful jabbing and rapping undereuts of MeAuliffe. he two contestants joked each other con- tinually during the fight. McAuliffe would say, *Why don’t you fight?’ and Myers would retort, “I'm only an amateur and yowre a professional,” ete, Thus it pro cceded. Men got' weary and went to breakfost only to come back and find the fight in_the same innocuous desue- tude in which they left it. There was too much money up, it was evident to everybody, 10 allow eithier wan to rush the fight and run the risk of an accidental knockout. At the opening of the sixty-fourth Referee McDonald announced, apparently much to the fighters' survrise, that he would decide it o draw. Kach had a'few moments previous declined to acknowledze that such & settlement would be acceptable, but it evidently was, nevertheless, 1f not to the fighters them- selves, at least to the men who controlled them,' Referce McDonald said that cach man had succeeded in keeping the other from winning. The following i3 the fight by rounds: FirstpiRound—McAuliffe led with his left, forced Billy to the ropes, landed his left on the nose and right on the ribs, It enced i favor of McAuliffe, Second Rouna—An exchange, in which Myer landed on his opponent's néck, getting in return a stinger in the nose. MeAuliffe slipped at the ropes, saving himself from o terrivlo right hand blow. A foul was claimed, but not allowed. The round ended with cuutious sparring, Third Round—McAuliffe led lightly and then landed heavily. McAulifie rushcd, but it was un cven exchauge, Billy getting n a good right hand blow full on MeAuliffc's face, which staggered him. Both nien now became cautious, neither evidently daring to risk leaving himselt unguarded, The most of the fighting for the next ten rounds was at short arm, with little execu tion, several times ending m u clinch, Fourteenth Round—Mac rushed Myer, landing with his left on the nose and receiy ing two stinging plows on the face und neck In rushing sceond time Mac slipped and fell with My Myer then com- menced fore atters and rusbed Fifteenth Round—This w. reptition of the fourtecnth. ixtecnth Iound —'This opened with a cavy exchange of blows.

Myer landed heavily on Mac's ribs with his rigit. There was careful sparring to the end of the round. Twenty-second Round-—Both men came up freskh and strong. Myer's cyes were black ening, but otherwise neithor showed sigus of punishment, The round was but a repetition of their pust tactics Twenty-third Round—MeAuliffe opened with a rush, lunding heavily on Myer's nose, The fighting which followed résulted in o clineh. Mae led with his left again and landed on Mver's face, getting uway without return, Myer barely missed a vicious right and left lunge by MeAuliffe, which would have settled the affwr, The next three rounds were ineffectual, Both men were i great condition, Tine was called for two minutes by the referce 1o show the sheriff that it was a boxing mutch and not ficit.

At the conclusion of this round the fight was declared o dray Myers' Friends Disgusted, StrEATOR, T, Feb, 13 —[Special Telegram to T Bee.]—A more disappointed delega. tion of sports never returned to Streator than the “favored few" that arrived by special train from North Judson, Ind., at 5:10 last night, via the Indiana, Illinois & Towa railroad. They were not disappointed because their man did not win, but because the refere they claim, unfairly decided the battle a draw,” when Myers for the last six rounds had the best of the fight and could have easily won the contest in the next ten rounds, ‘had he concluded to force the fighting. There were fully two hundre people at the depot to meet Billy Myers and 1 their congratulations, A hack awaited bis 18 quickly bustled inside and driven to the Plumb house, where a reception was tendercd him. Myers clatms that he could have won the fight if he had taken chances by rushing McAuliffe, but having in view the fact that many of his fricnds had staked all their carthly possessions on the result, he would not under any circumstances run - risk ¢ losing the fight in the latter portion of the contest. Myers had MeAuliffe's phenomenal “left”” chopped and bruised up so badly that he could not strike a blow hard enough to knock out a canary bird, Myers told McAuliffe before leaving the battle ground that if he would face him in a twelve-foot ring and lock themselves in a room he would fight him for stake money to- morrow. The gate money taken in the North Judson fight this morning border ing closely on $10,000. At m iy Bloominzton, I1L, arrived at the scene of the battle a few wmoments before the contest, stating that $1,000 awaited Myers in Bloon ington providing he won the' fichit.

His father was a steeplechase jockey and his motker a lady of a well-known family. She was dis- inherited owing to her marriage to the jockey. McAuliffe, sr., by reason of his small of stature, but for all that was noted as o clever man with his hands. Wher s ten months old his father became a Fen: id raised a company. Forced to leave Ireland, the father came to America and enlisted in the army, being a sergeant under Reno. again vilian, living at Bangor, Mo., and it was that the family were reumted. 1ck ix years of age when he crossed the Atlantic. ~ At Brooklyn, N. Y., six yea later the boy was apprenticed to a and soon learning the trade, was in fou known as one of the best of workmen wnd was cngaged in making sugar barrels, It was about this time that Charley Mitch- ell showed Billy Edwards up_in so poor a light, and all the boys took 10 boxing. More especially about the cooper shop because Dempsey, then first becoming promi- nent, was a graduate of the concern, Jack had ‘a brother who was given to box ing, and the little fellow (ot a bt inter- ested) saw Lis brother and a friend sparring one duy in the garret, and when the older lads left the Louse he' went m and pat tho gloves on. One day his big brother caught him at at, rallied Lim to “put ‘em on,” and 1n consequence Jack won his first victory Vaturally a hard hitter, Le soon gave his antagonist enough. Billy Madden once gave a boxing tourna- ment in New York city for light-weights. Jack heard of it, and the night before the tournament Jack and his brother took a loaf down the Bowery. Then there were many places where hoxes by volunteers oceurred nightly. Tney finally dropped into aplace where alight-weight, young Mace, was to knock out u fellow. ‘The youngster didn't show up and McAuliffe donned the mits for the first time in_his life. It took him two rounds to do up Mace. n Madden's tournament the light weight class took i men up to 140 pounds, but Me- Auliffe’s fivst opponent was & man numed vy, who scaled 135, Juck at 112, But i Won just the sume, MeGinty came next, fter four rounds both Madden und Jack Dempsey told MeAuliffe that it was a shame for him 10 go on with a mun twenty pounds heavier than he, and that it he would draw out, thus giving Mcdiinty the medal, a tour- nument for men of his weight should be got up. Mcauliffe acquiesced, and aftorwurd won the medal offered, beating Kline, Wil son, Harris and O'Neal, He vas still working in the cooper shop, and in the summer of 155 fought his first finish fight with one of his feilow-workmen, The name of the man was Jake Kareher, u German, and he was the bully of the shop und had'been when Jack Deinpsey worked there, Although he weighed 170, MeAuliffe knocked him out in seventeen rounds Soon thereafter he won the Dempsey and Madden medal for 120-pound men, beating Hogan, White, ‘Theiser and Doyle, and in March, 155, he became amateur light weight npion of America through winning tournament given by the New York Athletic club, in which he defeated William and Joe Ellinsworth. Then he wmet and defeated Sperry, Stevens, Manger and Mike Cushing. Now' Billy Maaden challenged youn Mitchel! in Juck's behalf for §1,000 a sid and signed the challenge *Jack MeAuliffe, the light-weight ehampion of America,” and by this act Juck became a professional pu- gilist His first fight as a professiona! was with Jack Hopper, six rounds, aud he bested | man, and afterward knotked him out in his fivet fnish g Kin tights in gove teen rounds, 1illy Frazer was the noxt vie- tim, lasting twenty-one rounds.

Within the lust few months Billy Dacey was Inocked out in eleven rounds, Sam Collyer in the second round and Juck Hyams in nine rounds. Such is the hiswory ana recond of Jack MeAuliffe Myer's Record.

The report accom: panying the bili treats of the existing nat uralization laws in a critical spirit, and calls attention to the abuses that have sprung up under them. It says “An alien may be derer, outlaw, anarc or a hardened crimin lows him, by making intention before o court, all the benefits citi- zenship within the United States, So deficient s the present law, and so ca s is the practice of judges, with but fow exceptions, that an alien, however bad his character or ignorant he may be, can become citizen of the United States.

Lgl THE BARB WIRE Important Discovery ‘Their Validity, St. Louis, Mo, Fob, 13,—A most import- ant discovery has been made here that the control of barbed wire patents is not vested inany American firm or corporation, be- cause the device of the barbed wire was_pat- ted in France by Louis Janen on April 19, 1863 The law of this country, as declared by the United States supreme court, 1s that a foreign patent for the same thing ora description of a thing in_a foreign publica- tion is as effectual to void a patent as if the patantee had seen the prior wvention, notice 10 him not being important.” If this decision holds, and there is no appeal from it, the claim of cortain persons for royalty under the Glidden and other barbed wire patents are void, and all money paid to them by burbed wire munufacturers who had interest in the Glidden patents i believed to be sub- joct to recovery. — Patrick Malloy's Trial, LoxDoy llie hearing 1n the ease of Malloy, who is charged with having testi- fied falsely before the Parnell commission, was resumed to-day.

MORNING, ELECTORAL VOTES COUNTED Harrison and Morton Formally De- clared Blected. WAS CLEVELAND INVISIBLE. No Member of the White Honse Fam- ily Nor Any of the Cabinet Officers Present—Amuse ing Incidents. WasmiNatox Buea Tue Ovams Bea, | 013 FounrTeeNTIL STRRET, Wasuizagroy, D, C. Benjamin Harrison, of Indian P. Morton, of New York, were to-day flnal elected, respectively, president aund vice president of the United States. Tho finish ing touches of this great republican vietory were given by the joiut session of the two houses of congress in the hall of the house of representatives before as large a body of people as it was possible to congregate there, Admission to the galleries was obtained only by the courtesy of members of onefof the two houses of congress, The long series of tiers of scats on the north side of the hall of the house, which are usually occupied by the colored population, was given up to the white people, mostly women. In fact, the gentier sex monopolized nearly all of the seatingfand standing room in every nook and corner. The women and children of senators and representatives were loc round over the floor of the house back behind the curtains which s rate the mem bers’ seats from the lobby and cloak rooms, and throughout the upper gal- leries, and Levi ed CONSPICUOUS BY ABSENCE. A noticeable feature of the attendance upon the proceedings was the entire ab- sence of any members of the white house family or any of the cabinet oficers. The front seat in the executive gallery, set aside for Mrs. Cleveland, and which she has so frequently occupied during the past year, was vacant, the doorkeepers were instracted to admit no one to it, and although every other available inch of spaco was oceupied no one was in Mrs. Cleveland’s seat during the afternoon, There was a brief morning hour in the two houses, when they took a reeess for the joint convention. The house was a scene of v moving bodies and a roar of voices half past 13 and 1 o'clock. At the latter hour Speaker Carlisle announced the time for the meeting of the houses, for the purpose of counting the clectoral votes for president and vice-president of the United States. The senate now appeared. It came inin double file. Leading the column weroe Sergeant-at-arms Canady and his deputy, Jim® Christy. Immediately behind them walked the venerable Bassatt, door-keener of the sonate. He carried in cither hand a nut box about fourteen inches square. In these were the precious documents which have been under the eombination lock of a large safe and the chuvge of special guards ever sinee they were délivercd by the mes sengers from the various statcs. Behind Bassctt walked the two special police from th te, who have aeted as guards of the votes. Then came the senators arm in arm double_file. Mr. Ingalls, ident pro tem- pore of the senate, in the lead. In joint con- vention Senator 'Ingalls presided over the joint convention, An as 4oon as he took the chair announced that the lnw of March, 1857, which directed the counting-of the electoral votes under which thé joint convention of the two houses would to-day nct, provided that the senate should “sit on the right hand (democratic side) of the' presiding ofiicer. Seats had been vacated by the members nearest the speaker’s chair on either side for the senate, and upon this- announcement tho democrats moved over to/give place to their superior legislators. FOUR QLD STATESMEN. “All but Senators Plumb, Paddock and Ransom were seated on the democratic_ side. “The three named were opposite on the re publican side. Directly in front and to the right of the presuding ofticer were two lounges, On these were seated Senators Morrill, Hoar, Dawes and Sherman (all re- publicans), a quartette of the oldest men in the upper body of congress, Theircombined ages aggregaie 981 years. On the next lounge wwere Senators Blair, Payne, Gibson and Coke—oue republican and thrée demo- crats. Ex-Senator Ferry, of Michigan, with his great flowing beard, came in with Scna- tor Wilson, of fowa, and sat down wita the active statesmer, Banked up around the speaker’s desk were the page forces of both branches of congress, There were almost a hundred of the littia fellows, and it was with some difiiculty that their' chatter was suppressed. i COUNTING FHIE VOTES. There was celerity in every movement of the procecdings. It was just two minutes past 1 o'clock. when Senator Ingalls arose in his seat, and striking the desk with the gavel, announced tha purpose of the joint conyention in a clear Minging voice. Scarcoly had a dozen words escaped his lips when t roar of voices subsided, and there was per- fect stillness. Senators Manderson, of No- braska, and Harris of Tennessee, and Repre- sentatives Baker of New York, and Ermen- trout, of Penusylvania, were seated in the chairs of the reading cierks. These were the tellers selected by the presiding officers of the two houses to eramine and read the votes, Senator Manderson took the first turn at reading. He read the certificate of the state of Alabama. Although he is a splendid reuder, the long certificate became monoto- nous before it was finally completed. Then Senator Harris began to read the returns from Arkansus. When the reading from this state was about half throygh Senator Edmunds strolled in, alone, and as he walked down the central aisle attracted considerable attention, This astute statesman was president pro tempore of the senate just four years ago, and presided at the {oint convention of the two houses that read the vote which elected veland and Hendricks. EXPEDITING THE WORK, As soon as Senator Harrison had com- pleted the reading for Arkansas, Senator Edmunds arose and. askad nnanimous con- sent that instead of reading the returns in full that the tellers be permited to make an examination, and that-wherever the returns were regular and duly certified the results should be announced in @ formal way. There was no objection, and the proceedings moved twenty times (aster, Igstead of occupyin about fifteen minutes in the reading of a ce tificate of a state less than & minute was r quired. There wore shott intervals of deluy Letween the announcements, owing to cou- plications in the certification of state offic A LUDICROUS INCIDENT. 1t required some originality ou the part of the tellers to make the aanouncements under the new order of thwgs, and there were some ludicrous incidents connected there- with. For instance, whan Senator Harris took up Indiuna, he sgmounced that the fifteen electoral votes of tate had been cast “for Grover Clevaland.” As soon us the words “Grover Cloyeland” escaped his lips the house burst into'a roar of laug hte Then the vencrable senator went back to the beginning sud commenced to make the an- nouncement again, #nd made the first name read “Benjamin Cldvaland.” Finally, how- ever, he mansged to say that Indiana had cast hier fifteen votes for Benjamin Harvison and Levi . Mortop, Evidently that old gen- tleman could not reconcile himself to the Tact that Indiana had gone republican. When Senator Mantlerson announced that Georgia had cast her vote for Grover Cleve land and Allan G. Thurman, and upon giving the size of the vote, added, *‘Being all the votes cast for president and vice president of the United States,” there was great laughter, but it quickly subsided, as the cor- rectness of the statement was readily seen. Mr. Ermentrout, who is a democrat, in an- nouncing the vate of Florida used tio name Lovi P. Thurman,” wnd it took nearly a minute to secare order. The louso was in FEBRUARY 4, 18390 nd was ready to laugh at an wkes.

Then the senators and_representa tives arose to go, and as they did so the gal eries gave forth n burst of applause that was almost deafeninge, SOME CONSPICUOUS FIGURES. Quite a number of faces which have been amiliar in one or the other houses of con 33 showed up to-day. Ex-Representatives Thad Pound of Wisconsin, Willis of Ken tucky, and Wilson of West Virginia, were prouiinent on the floor during the counting of the votes, Mr. Smalls of Carolina, (colored), whose contest of the seat of Elliott, a white mav, has been pending for three days, and who was later n the day voted out of the house, stood on a chair on the republican side, and leaned against the mantel piece over the grate, making the most prominent, and the only black figure on the floor. Representu tive Dick Townshend of Hlinois capried a chair down in the center aisle, and <cafing himself nwon it, sat alone for some time as if in deep meditation. Hewas probably reflecting npon the shorteomings of the demoeratic party, which had brought about the result soon to be annour nally o hittle girl approachied and crawling upon his knee offered him some consolation THE ASPIRING CANDIDATES. The “Big Four” candidates for the speak- ership of the Fifty-first congress were all prominent in their scats—Messrs, leod, MeKunney, Burrows and Cannon. They mat urally attracted very much attention’ from the strangers in the galleries. Richelieu Robmson of Brooklyn, the long white haired and smooth faced Irishman, who, as a mem. ber of the Forty-seventh congress, used to twist the British lion's tail and pummel John Bull, but who left the democratic party last year and contributed largely to the sucess of Harrison and Morton, occupied his old lown near the front row in front of the wker's desk. The senators as a bod showed up in sharp contrast to the member out them, They are older men as a rule and have been used to much greater dignity in their proceedings. Very few of them con. versed atany time during the counting of the votes. SHERMAN AS AN OBERVER, From the very moment Senator Sherman sat down upon the lounge and the tellers be gan to read the returns he never took his oyes off the proceeding. Sherman is one of the best observers and most careful listen- ers in congress. He never loses sight of what is going on about him. The counting of the votes and all of the incidental pro- ceedings occupied exactly one hour and three minutes, GRINDING AGA Within fifteen minutes after the result of the decision was announced the two houscs were both engaged in discussing incidents affecting the franchise of votes in the south ~the senate, on Mr. Evart’s proposition to investigate election outrages in Texas, and the house closing the debate on the Smalls Elliott contested clection in South Carolina. THE TARIPE BILL, Chairman Mills to-day placed in the hands of the republican members of the house com- mittee on ways and means, the report of the majority against the senate tariff vill. The minority have asked for time in which to cx- amine the majority report and prepare what they will have to say upou the subject. The minority report will probably be put iuto shapo by next Monday and will be laid be- fore the full committee on ways and means ou that day or on Tuesday, when it is ex- pected that the bill will be reported back to the kouse. The majority report was written by Chairman Mills. It occupies twenty-seven printed pages, regular excc uve document form, and by free traders 1 ded as “a slashing and exceedingl argument” against the republic sition on the tariff. It attacks viciou the republican proposition to increase cer- tain duties while lowering others, aud char- acterizes the republhican tariff principles as being in the interest of the monopolists and manufacturers, The bill, when it goes back to the house, will contain about all of the es sential clements of the original Mills bill, It will have in it frce wool, the origmal Mills proposition regarding sugar, waolens, internal revenue, ete. It is believed the bill will be taken up for debate some time next week, and 1t will be discussed whenever appropriation bills are not before the kouse. Inasmuch as the majority of the committee on wi aod means do not recom mend non-concurrence or ask for a confc comtittee, it is not at all probable that wference will be ordered on the measure or that a final vote will be taken upon it. The bill in its amended form is to be simply reported back to the house, and the chances are to be taken for debate ind fin on.
