fvan had broken one of the bones of his flght arm botween the wrist and the elbow a fip, t with Patsy Cardift at Minneapolis n the 18th of the preceding Janudry, The [bjared mombor had beon sor and healed, 'tis true, but owing to malformation bad to be broken and resot, So when Kilrain issued his challenge Sullivan was carrying his for- idavle right inoased in plastor of paris. Jake's last fight was with the British champion, Jem Smith, which took place on the Tslo of St. Piorre, France, December 10, 1876. One hundred and six rounds wore Yought without. either man gaining an ad- vantago, and darkness setting in hostilities Next day the men wero to resume ghting, but through the intercession of mutual friends tho fight was declared a iw. The actual fighting time was two ours and thirty-one minutes. That was g-?n'n last fight up to the present battle with ullivan. Excitement in Omaha. As early as 8 o'clock yesterday morning the streets presented a sceno of unparalleled ox- cltement and nctivity. It looked like some motable holiday or presidential election time. The streot cornurs were crowded with men, ‘while little knots of excited people were seon here, there and everywhere, Of course the one topic of conversation was the great Sul- livan-Kilrain fight. The pool rooms, espe- elally the Diamond, was a solid mass of ex- cited men, who orowaed and jostled each other in their eagerness to get within good eyesight of the blackboard. For a while the ‘betting was quite spirited, with odds of 3 to 1 on Suilivan, The first thing in the shape of news came about 9 o'clock being a dispatch from New Orleans, that Sullivan knocked his man out. and shattered his jaw, in eight rounds. This nows was greeted by loud cheers, for here in Omaha, in sporting circles at least, John L. i8 a universal favorite. Of course this telo- gram, owing to the meagre telegraphic facil- aties, was received with a good doeal of allowance, but the general disposition was to give it full credence. The telographic ofices were besieged all morning, but noth- iny authentic was received. Briere wes o abatement in b lively in- terest manifest on the streets until late in the afternoon, when the telegram announcing that Kilrain had been knocked out +dn the seventy-second round = recerved ‘what ‘was considered full confir- mation. This news was received at the Diamond, which remained crowded with anx- ious, excited men throughout the entire day, with every mlnllenmlfinn of satisfaction. ‘While there was comparatively littlo money 1nid upon the result of m{ battle, every man wscted as if he had a vital Interest in s out- eome, and had Kilrain won there is no doubt but what the keenest kind of disappointment would bave been felt by a largo_majority of those waiting for the news, Despite Sul- Tivan's reputation as a brute and a bully, the American people seom to look upon him as their ideal exponent of pugilism, and their faith was uuswervingly pinned to his colors. Kilrain’s questionable claim upon the championship, the senseless and un- Just attacks of his mentor and backer, Rich- ard K. Fox, upon John L. during the long days of his siokness, imbucd the people with an incontrovertible dislike for the Baltimore boy, and fully nine out _of every ten honest lovers of the art of self-defense longed and prayed for his defeat. Kilrain’s hobnobbing ‘with Charlie Mitchell and other English pugilists, to the detriment of his hrother sluggers on this side of the pond, also had much to do with Jake's unnopularity. That he stands the peer of any prize fighter who ever stopped into the ring, 80 far as decency, gentlemanliness and respectability goes, no cone will gaivsay. But the short-haired fra- ternity is a pretty tough set of mugsall through, and the claims of the best of them upon respectability are meagre indeed. FOUGHT FIFTY-TWO ROUNDS. RBloody Battle Between Collins and Quinn Near New York. Naw Youxk, July 8.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bre.]—One of the most peculiarly con- tested prize fights that hus taken place near New York for years was decided at an early hour yesterday morning at a resort np the Hudson. ‘The match was between Nick Collins und Harry Quinu, of this city, and 1t lusted fifty-two rounds, occupymg three hours and twenty-seven minutes. ‘I'he last twenty-nine rounds were devoid of hard hit- ting with the oxception of a few heavy blows. It was declared a draw and the purso of §140 was divided. After the twenty- third round Coliius appeared to be sick at the stomach from the coutinual jabbing of Quinn’s loft hand on that portion of his Vody. His left eye was puffed and the whole side of his face was badly swollen. His neck bore knots from the pun- ishmapt he received. Quinn, who did all the leadiug, was a terrible sight, his face being cut and brused from chin to forehead. ‘Under each eye there appeared a lump tho 81ze of an egg, from which a small stream of blood trickled down his breast. There were cuts from the terrible drubbing ho received. He bled profusely from, the nose, and the sawdust was bespattered with blood. The match was to have taken place last Wednes- day evening, but owing to the failure in pro- curing the battle ground it was postponed. A boat was hired on Saturday night, and by it somo sixty men were conveyed toa danc- fug platform on the New Jersey shore, Tho men stripped in the open air und were soon ‘within the ring, which was built by a stout stripof rope strotcued about four posts. Camp stools were placed in the two,_ecorne: for the men to sit upon. TRIPLE TRAGEDY. A Religious Fanatic Kills His Wifo and Son and Commits Sulcide. Parouse Ciry, W.

A SIEGE OF OFFICE SEEKERS. Archbishop Treland Given an Inter- view By Harrison — Longer Hours Result From Abol- 1shing Steam Presses. 518 FOURTRENTE STUEET, WasutiNaroy, D, C,, July 8 In spite of the civil service law, which was designed to relieve to n large extont the pressure of official patronage, the clamor for office has never been more loud since the in- auguration of the present mlr-ninlulrn(ion, Although the heat of summer is Tt its heaght, Washington is yet full of people who camo early in March and are still hauging on in tho hope of final rew: Republican con- grossmen who ordinarily would have gone away for the summer long ago are still kept here by the importunities of their offico-seok- ing constituents, which reach them by each mail, and cabinet officers have been com- pelled to close their doors and see callors only by card, because the crowds of place hunters loft them no time to attend to public business. Secretary Windom has grown weary of hearing the same old story, day after day, from the same poople, and now he proposes to deny himself to visit- ors except upon the presentation of visiting cards. Mr. Windom has probably given up more of his time to the office seekers than any other member of the cabinet since the advent of the present administration, and in the meantime the routine work of the depart- ment has continued to acoumulate %0 an alarming degree. The clerks in the appoint- ment division say that they have not had suf- ficlent work becauso they have been waiting instructions from tho secretary. On tho other band tho secretary says he has not had time to look mto the merits of many of the pending cases because so0 much of s time 13 vaken up listening to the ap- peals of place hunters. Secretary Windom's room is a delightful retreat for the hungry patriots who get the cold shoulder else- ‘where, and it is not unusual to see the same persons there daily sitting around in the com- fortable chairs, drinking copiously of rce water from the silver service near the door. They invariably ask the same quostion and usually receive the same answer, but they show up again next day and consume from four to five hours of the secretary's time that might be devoted to -disposing of the very cases the importuning applicants are individually-interested in. ARCHBISIOP KYAN AT THE WLITE HOUSE. Secretary Windom, accompanied by a clerical-looking gentleman whose smooth- shaven faco showed him to be a member of the clergy, had a lengthy conferonce with the president, tho two being the first callers of the day. 'Although it is the day upon which the presidenv usually denics himself 10 visitors, he made au exception in the case of the clergyman, who was Archbishon Ire- Iand, one of the most distinguished prelates of the Roman Catholic church. ““While I was in the east, said the arch- bishop, I thought T would call at the white house and get acquainted with the new chief magistrate. Through th> courtesy of Secretary Windom an interview has been accorded me, 1 the course of which I gave the president my views on mutters pertain- ing to the condition of the Indian schools, in whicn I am very much interosted. 1 will leave for St. Paul this afternoon, having had a most delightful time during my recent so- journ in the east.” What is new concerning the Catholic uni- versity " *I shall return to Washington in Novem- ber to be present at the opening of the Cath olic university the 13th of that mouth, and it is proposed to make that occasion an event in the history of educational institutions n this country.” Do you think, archbishop, that the pope seriously entertains any ideas of leaving Rome, as has been stated 1 “Under no circumstances will the head of the church leave the holy city. It will be impossible for him to do so and the sugges. tion emanated from the mind of some one gifted with a wonderful imagination,” MORE WORKING HOURS.

The Knights of Labor made an_attack upon ths steam presses and got a bill through congress cutting down the royalty to be pwid to the patentees of the presses from 3l to 1 cent per 1,000 impressions. = Secretary W assumes that by taking this intended that the steam presses should be doneaway with, and has governed bimself accordingly, although he has not yet decided what permanent action to lake. ARNY NEWS, Field operations, existing or prospective, now absorb the attention of the regular army in all parts of the country. This year there will be more elaborate maneuvers than ever. The troops Luve been busy in preparing for them, still the first reully great show of the kind will be that of 1800, when the artillery will be ready to accommodate its great gar- rison of seventeen companies, aud will be- comea nucleus from which most of the United States troops of the division of the Missouri Wwill assemble for maneuver: Meanwhile this year will sec some notice ablo worlk.

VAN WYCK'S BIG PURCHASE. Ex-Senal Van Wyck, of Nebrasis, to-day add®i to his already large real estate holdings in this city by purchasing one of the chidicest and most expensive lots in the fushiouable residence quarter of tho city, 1t isa triangle opposite his presont palatial wansion fronting Dupont Circle, and is now oceupied by an Episcopal church. The property had become 100 expensive for church purposes, and the trustees decided to seoll it and devote the proceeds to tho crection of wbettor house of ,worship on @ cheaper lot. It had been put up ut auction twice before, but the valuation that had been fixed was not reached by the bidders. To-day, however, it was “three times and out,” and Van Wyck secured it for £5.80 u square foot, which' is the highest price over paid for residence property in Washington. Mr. Van Wyck announced that he intended w0 erect u handsome resi- dence upon the lot, which, if he does, will be one of the most imposing ornaments of this already beautiful city. 'Phis statement cor- roborates the rumors that hive been floating around that General Van W iutends to give up s residenco in Nebeaska and bo- come a permanent citizen of Washington, He has certainly invested a large sum of money here, aud it will require a good deal of his time Lo tuke cave of his property.

Dak., July 8.—|Spocial Telogram to Tur Brr. |—There is great joy in the prohibition camp In the stato of South Dakota, It is held now by tho leadors that sixty-three of the seventy-flve delogates to the convention have pledged themselves to support the prohibition amendment at the polls in October, and that the movement bas gotten o far whead of the suloon eloment that it cannot be overtaken. 'Tho eity Is thronged with prohibition workors from every part of the territory, commion laborers in the vineyard, professional lecturers, minstrels and ropresentatives of overy grade of tho party. So far there is no disposition shown to mix politics with this question, and prohibition for once, at least, is to enter the arena with its opponents and have a fair contest for su- vremuy Mass-meetings are held every day and night and the excitoment is high. The saloonists are hegining to show the depths of their bitterness, and to do it ina violent way. The shower of eggs which fell upon the prohibition meeting the other night from emisarios located in the dark behind a wall, was only the inauguration ot the indig- nities, Every conceivable effort is being made to frustrate the work. So far no move has been made by any of the prohibition del- egates in the constitutional convention to force their doctrines. They secured the chief clerkship m the organiza- tion, but that was u recognition accorded them without the issues. Itis un- derstood that they will not ask to bave any trace of their beliefs as prohibitionists put m the constitution, quietly submitting to a separate ballot at the polis, unless the poli- ticians conclude to go into Wwholesale amend- ments, in which event a demand may be made that a prohibition clause be placed in the body of the constitution. This would make things lively, indeed, as the prohib- itionists have easy control of the conven-. tion. ‘The session of the convention this after- noon lasted only forty minutes. The work is being retarded by the deliberation of the North Dakota convention, President Edger- ton announced the following commission for Bismarck, to determine a division of the territory’s linbilities and rec- ords: Kellam, of Brule county, chai- man; McGillicuddy, of Penuington, Caldwell, of Minnehaha; Elliott, of Turner; Price, of Hyde; Brott, of Brown. The lat- tor two aro democrats, the others repub- lican John H. Drake, of the Aberdeen i v Was chosen secretary of the com- mission. The president stated that he had requested the North Dakota convention to name a day when the joint commission eould conveue, but uot having received a reply the delegates from the convention could not hope to leave before Wednesday. There is uo probability of a_report being roceived from the joint commission before the end of next week, which will make final adjourn- ment out of the question under eightecn or twenty days hence. Notwithstanding the fact that it is practically agreed that each state shall assume the indebtedness for its own institutions, and that there shall be du- plicates made of the records so that each state may have copies, which ought to make the joint commission’s work easy and brief, the convention will continue its work in the absence of the commission with a view to completing all else before the latter’s return. Prrey S. Heati. The Bisu k Convention. Brsyiarcr, N. Dak., July 8.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Beg. |—Very little business was transacted in the constitutional convention to-day. The republican caucus slate was car- ried out and the convention organized by the election of republicans to all the offices. The constitution of the United States was adopted, and the convention listened to an adaress on “Woman Suffrage,” by Rditor Blackwell, of Boston. Mr. Blackwell asks that the convention will not submit the ques- tion to a vote of the people this year, believ- ing that it would be defeated. He desires that it be left to the legislature of the state. Heread lettors from Governor Ames, of m Lloyd Garrison, Seyator Hoar, and Senator Davis, introduct ing him to the convention iu the most com- plimentary manncr. The convention ad- journed until Thursday to await the ap- pointment of the committees. Great Indignation. 118, Dak., July 8.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bre]—Great wdignation is folt over the attempted breaking up of the prohibition meeting Saturday night by ex- ploding @ bomb and throwing eggs. The newspapers, saloons and brewery offer re- wards aggregating $250 for the arreat of the miscreants. The city counell to-night adds $100 to the other rewards offercd. Little Interest in the Eléction. CunyeNse, Wyo., July 8.—[Special Tele- gram to Inn Bep.]—There was compara- tavely little interest taken in the election for delegates to the convention to form a state convention, which was held throughout the territory to-dny. The reason therefor was that fusion tickots were placed in the field in most counties of tho territory, although par- tisun fights were »ude in two counties. In cases of fusion he apportionment of aele- rates was mado between the parties on the basis of the vote cast at the last general elec- tion for delegate in congress. In nearly all the counties ' whatever fight took place oc- curred in the nominating conventions, but the sclections of delegates were generally made in wonderful unanimity with the popu- lar judgment. The convention will be com- osed entirely of represerative citizens, There will be & majority of republ the convention Nothing Done at Helena, HzLexs, Mout,, July 8.—The convention met at two o'clock.

More than bulf the railroad men in Chicago, in- cluding many members of the association, belleve it will be the last meeting of that famous organization, They base this bellef on the ground that the Union Paciic can not not afford to have itd hands tied by associa- tion rules in meeting competition by the Denver, Fort Worth & Texas, which now considers itseif outside the association, President Stickney, of tie Chicago, St. Paul won, Time— SICK HEADACHE Positively cured by these Little Pills, They also relieve Dis- tress troa Dyspepsia, In # A perfect ren edy for Dizziness, Nause Drowsiness, Bad Tas in the Mouth, Coated Tongue, Pain n the Side, TORFID LIVER.

Further than that I want it distinctly understood that the Chi- eago, St. Paul & Kansas City will stick to all its agreements, Quite a row was raised by tho other roads declaring we were vio- lating tho agreoment in giving notice that we would apply a low commodity tariff to St. Joseph based on the present low commo dity tariff to St. Paul. The ohairman ruled our notice illegal and we have consequently But in an sdditional notico which has beol declared a logai one. Wae believe the first was sufficient, but were willing to waive the point." General Manager Egan, of the same ro said it was a mistaken idea that the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City intended to apply the low St. Paul tariff’ at Missouri river points. The locals from Marshalltown would bo added to the Chicago proportion of the low commodity tariff. The troubls over the reduction of the Denver passener rate from 830,65 to $26 his by no means ended. Chairman Abbott, of the Western Statos® Passenger assoctation, has mado n decision, fining the Alton the limit “for reducing rates contrary to association rules.” Tbis is tho secona fine against tho Alton within a month, and §200 is consequently nssessed, the penalty for the first offense boing $100, 'The Alton reduced the Denver -rate westbound and the Unian Pacific reducod it eastbound. This gave rise to un_acrimonious discussion betweon Chairman Finley, of the Trans-Mis- souri_association, and Glenoral Passenger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacific. The chairman claimod the Union Pacific had no right to make the rate, and wound up the discussion by threatening to fine the Union Pacific a $100 for evory ticket sold at the re- duced rate, As tho west-Missouri proportion is but $18.13, tho Union Pacific will have to sell lots of tickets under the circumstances to make any money.

WarEnzoo, Ia., July 8.—[Special Tel- egram to Tie BEk|--A strong attemot to extort monoy from a clergyman of this city came to light to-day. A few days ago he re- ceived a letter telling him that if ho did not send the writer of the lotter $8,000 he would destroy the clorgyman’s property with dyna- mite. The letter also instructed him to go to the Tevee above the city on a certain evening vetween 6 and 7 o’clock and place the money in a far that he would find under a flat stone in a place indicated by ared flag. An investiga- tion showed that everything was arranged as the letter stated. At the specified time the clergyman went to the place and put a pack- ageof paper inthe jar, whiloa detail of police watched the apot. ‘They remained some time, but no_one appeured until after they left. 'The place was then visited by some one who took the package out and opened it. It is bolioved by some of the ofticers that the hand-writing of the letior contains a clew. Interesting developments are promised. e Fire and Police Commission. The board of fire and police commissioners metin regular session last night. A report was received from Chief Gatli- gan stating that 3,150 feet of hose was unre- lisble. Referred to the committos on prop- erty. Leave of absence for fifteen days was granted Fireman G. C. Millor and ten days to Fireman James Cormack. A communication was received from Bous & Muiun, of Metz's hall, complaining of Ofticor Savage for smoking at ten winutes past 1 o'clock 1n the morning, and asking their Sunday patrons too. many questions, vhus injuring theiwr business. J. C. Farrish (“Spud”’) applied for tha po- sition of clerk to Chief Gialligan. A number of bids for furnishing a new patrol wagon were referred. Attention was called to the transfor of sa- loous from one owner to wnother, contrary to law, and it was resolved to investigate the matter individuaily. sz lal Wyoming's Firemen's Tournament.

After Asking Him Some Questions a Seoret Comncll fa Held—What the Old Fighter Thinks of the Situation, The Government Asks Tio Mnch. 0w Criek AGrNoY, S, D, (via Chamber- lain, Dak.) July 8.—[Spocial Tolegram to Tur Bee. | —Iv was supposed by the commis- sion that the Indians woutd be ready to come n this morning and talk over tho matter of signing in general concert, but nothing had been seen of them at 2 o'clock to-day. About 10:30 o’clock the agent hore, )lx-lyl)r Ander- son, callod together the fow' Indlans about the'agency and road the riot act to them, Ho informed-them that no dilatory actions wou ld bo tolerated for an instant. They understo od why those gentlomon wore here and he hoped to seo all the bands come in and sign this day 80 they could go home to look after their crops and stoek. Genoral Crook was called out last evening to talk with the Indians in their own council held here. Questions wore asked concern- cerning the treaty mnow presented, after which the Indiaus Went into socrot sessions, excluding all white men and outsiders. ‘What was the result of that council can not be deflnitely uscertained, although it 18 not supposed to be favorable to the bill. In a long talk had this morning with Gon- eral Crook, he exprossed bimselt as not vory hopeful of immediato success here. ““There i8 too much of the usual governmental In- dian policy in this treaty nere. Out of sev- enty-nine townships of land held by theso Indians, thoy are asked to concede all but about twelve townships, and these are not the very best in quality. Should these In- aians elect to take up their lands as grazing land, thore would not be enough to give the allotted number of acres to each. Thisis not justice to these Indians, for their near neighbors, the Brule Indians, under the samo agent, have a much greater number of acres sot apart for them, aud, after allot- ment in severalty, will have a large surplus left in common. “The case is the same with the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Indians. The Indian’s character is so coustituted as to yield readily to all ovil influences, rather than good. Another poculiarity of the In. dian nature is when you ask him to do something for you ho should be paid for so doing, as you requestit. It is this peculiarity with Which we have had to contend, though thore was some other very powerful influence at Pine Ridge, which we were unable to dis- cover. At Pine Ridge the talk was made as as against the boundary line question, while the real objection lay" beyond and outside this question _ent Duving allof my talks with Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse and Little Wound, both of whom have done much, they would tell me that they thought the il gooa for their peunle, but when asked why they would not sign they would remain silent. * One thing may bo written as & maxim of the Indian public_ councils, and that is that the complaints made there do not touch upon the real mattor at issue at all. These Indiuns have been tampered with by the Dr. Bland Indian Defense assoefation, and they listen to him rather than to those 'who they shouid know as their truest friends. | have an intimate acquamtance with some of the members of the Indian Rights associa- tion, and I kuow that they have the best in- terests of the Indians at heart, giving time and money for their good, yet the Indians will listen to Dr. Bland and s rival socioty rather than the Boston society.'” This expression of opinion from Crook, whose Lfelong assucintions with Indians has given h; intimato knowl- cdge of their characteristics, may bo taken a8 an accurate summing up of the situation on the Sioux reservation. [t 1s reported that Indians here are still councilingamong them- selves and are not yet decided upon any course. "'he council met at a late hourthis after- noon, but the Indians came only with the in- tention of begging time for the further con - sideration of the bill. The priucipal speaker, White Ghost, spoke at length, mentioning the Santees and Flandeaus,whom they think have no right in the treaty. He also in- formed the commission that he had many full-blooded Indians who could both read and write, 0 ho wanted a_couple copios of the bill, promising to study the same, evon if they s{lo\\ld sit up all mght to do so. Time was granted them to study the bill, but they were asked to make their deliber: tion as Dbrief as possible as time was precious. Governor Foster said a few words in his usual fe- Jicitous « manner, after which Gen- eral Crook made his offective tall by promising beef and coffee. The couneil then aajourned to meet to-morrow at tiio same place. The ad 1 condition of tho Indians ot this agoncy is apvarent in tho manner in which they speak, and muke their preparation for speaking, much reseni- bling white people. Tho spealer of the day, White Ghost, 1s pronounced by the agent Major Warner, to be the most truly elognont mun he has yet heard in any of the negotia- tions with the Sioux nation. The commis- sion will hold open house from now till to- morrow and explain the bill to all who may como desiring it.
