THE OMAHA DALy BEE PETER IS A MODEST PUG. | The Colored Champlon's Head Not | at All Swelled. HE MAKES MANY WARM FRIENDS. Hundreds of English Admirers Show Their Appreciation of His Prowess—Smith's Glory Has All Departed. Jackson Being Idolizad. {Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnos, Nov. 1L.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Ber.|—Two of tne most placid men in London to-day were ““Paraon” Davies and Peter Jackson. No- body would have been surprised if Jackson had been a bitexcited, for it is seldom that a man has had the good fortune to whip Ene- land’s champion heavyweight in five min- utes and in the same period put into bis pocket £500, and do all this without gottinga rote Peter Jackson is undoubtedly a modest person, though 1o white man has ever scen him blush, This may be on mecount of his color, which is aftrifle darker than polished ebon But whether ornot he is given to blushing, Juckson is modest. He was just s unassuming this eveniog as he was on Sunday evening, yet between the two evenings he had demon- strated that all the judges or aliceed judges of prize fighters, who claimed that he was a tanper and not a hitter or slugger, were mis- taken, and dido’t know what they were talk- g about. The Smith-Jackson fight will go down in pugilistic history as one of the extraordinary affairs of the ring. stranger and a man of color comes toa land many thousnnds of miles from thatof his birth with a munager whom ho bad known for less than a year and stands before a man who had long posed as the most dangerous fighter of a land that has furnished hundreds of men who were his equals or superiors, and vanquishes that man in in his own home and 1n the midst of hundredsof his partisans in one of the short- est fights on record. Among the patrons of prize fighting in England to-day 1t is probable that Juckson has far more friends than Smith, None of the hundreds who wit- nessed Monday evening's affair will deny that he deserves to have more. England has had few champions who were 80 quickly and thoroughly vanquished as Smith was, and she has never had a cham- pion who made such a poor appearance, eithor before the battle was decided or in thie hour of defeat, ‘When Smith, knowing that he was a beaten man, deliberatoly cross-buttocked Jackson and was promptly adjudged the loser by the referee, he made what men of his class called a bluff that dropped hit out of sight in the estimation of those who love fair play, He pulled off his gloves and attempted to make a rush at Jaclkson, who, knowing he had won, had dropped his hands to his sides. Seeing Smith's in- tent, the Austealian pullea off his left glove, but could not loosen the right. “Tear 1t off,” Parson Davies culled out to him, Still the glove would not come off, but Jackson calwly remarked to those who held Smith: “‘Let him come onj don't hold him." ‘The colored champion felt certain that he . could give Smith more than he wanted with bare knuckles as well as with four-ounce gloves. Of course Smith didu't come on, He hadn't a decent biow left in him. That 18 the opinion of men who watched the con- test closely, and it is certainly the opinion of Parson Davies and Peter Jack- son. The latter said this cvening that hewas 1o first rate condition, and hado't been distressed a bit by his exertion in the ring. At the conclusion of the fight he was driven to his hotel. There ho ato a lght Junch and drank a glass of beer, while some of the men who had won money on him sat around him and quaffed champagoe until tue sun ought to have shown himsolf, Flho language of ono of Smith’s seconds, Jack Harper, while Jackson was showering blows without getting a return, was bud enough to have thrown even a man who was Bighting for £500 off his guard. That it did not was au evidence of Jaekson's great cool- ness. Parson Davies sald tonight that Jackson ‘was open to & challenge from anyone in the world. Sullivan had drawn the color around him and could wrap himself in iv if he saw fit, but if he wauted a fight with Juckson he could be accomodated. Negotia- tions between Jackson and Slavin had been in progress, but had come to naught. Jack- son has beon made a handsome offer for nine nignts in London aud another for two weeks in Paris from December 1. It will be decided to-day whother or not these offers will be accopsed. If the Paris offer is taken Jackson will, at its conclusion, start on @ tour through Englund, Scotland and Ireland, after which be will sail for the United Btates. Richard K. Fox goes into ecstacies over Jackson. Ho saw the Jackson-Smith fight and became 80 excited that his roar of “Good boy, Jackson,” could be heard above the din of the 600 who crowded the rooms of the Pelican club, Fox called on Jackson to day and left his card, upon wiich he wrote, “Good, old champuon, Peter,” Fox consid- ers Jackson a world-beater and would proba- bly be gled to got hold of him if the Australian were not under the wing of Par- son Davies, who is @ protty fair judge of fighters hmself and is supposed to know when he bas booked a good thing. e A S A Leiter From Stanley, [ Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.)

Cn1caGo Nov. 11.—At the meoting of the committee on congrossional action held this rnoon o bill submitted by Congressman yson was endorsed as one to be presented at the coming session of congress to securo the location of the world's fair at Chicago, The title of the bill is: “A bill relative to celebrating the four hundredth auniversary of the discovery of America by Coluinbus, by holding an expo- sition of arts, industrics, manufactures and products of the world in the city of Chicago, and the state of Illinois, in the year eightoen hundred and ninety tv Tho bill recites tho reasons for holding such an exposition in Chicago and sets par- ticular emphasis on the fact that Chicago asks of the United States government no appropriations or loaus for the purposes of such exposition. It provides that the arti- ies and goods imported for the exhivit hail o admitted free of duty, and_tho only ap- proprintion asked for is €0,000, which 18 to “bo °d_under the direction of the sccretary of the treasury for all purposes conne fon of foreign goods for the exposition.” The bill also provides “that thero shall be adwitted to said exposition by the government from the Smithsonian institute and the national muscums such articies and moterials as il- lustrato the functions and aaministrative faculies of the government in times of peace, and £10 iLs resources us i war power, tending to demonstrate the nature of our in- stitutions and their adaption to the wants of ourvecple.” — A BIG CLAIM.

The heirs ex- cepted to Judge Colling' jurisdiction yester- day on tne ground that Mr. Story’s remedy was not against the fund in chancery, but by suit at law. Many very interesting de- cisions were cited and Judge Collins held that if Mr. Story had a valid hen, the court could apply a portion of the fuud to satisfy it. Whother he bad a lien, however, on a mere verbal coutract was a question which the court reserved for decision on the trial of the suit.

" OMAHA. TUE THE LAY CATHOLIC CONGRESS ] It Opens at Baltimore With Twelve Hundred Delogates. A BLESSING FROM THE POPE, Oraror Daniel Dougherty Gives Skateh of Catholicism in America, Its Grand Accomplishments and 1ta Wonderful Growth, A Great Religions Gathering. Bartismone, Md., Nov. 11.—Twelve hun- dred delegates to the first congress of Cath- olic laymen of the United states were called to order shortly before noon to-day by Hon. W. J. Onahan, of Chicago. Kvery seat in Concordia hall was filled, and the galle were crowded with spectators, Archbishop Ireland briefly invoked the divine biessing. inal Gibbons deliverad an address of welcome, in the course of which he said he had for a long time desived to see the clergy and the luity come moro closely together, The clergy, he said, have much to learn from the laity, from their wisdom and discretion and, above all, from tho worldly knowledge of the laity, and that there is no country on the fuce of the earth where the clergy and the laity should be more united than in these United States. In o few remarks introducing ex-Gov- ernor Lee Carroll as tempoary chairman, Onuhan mentioued the mnare of Pope Leo. Instantly there was hand clapping and cheers all over tho hall, soon growing into a turmoil of enthusiasm.’ Onahan’s sugicestion that he hoped not far distunt to see an in- ternational congress of luy Catholics also met with hearty approbation. Ex-Governor Carroll was warmly ap- plauded on tuking the chair. He suid that his congress, so auspiciously begun, was but the forerunner of othiers yot to come, and that thoe Catholics of the United States would look to these congresses with pride and satisfaction. The congress had but two great burposes at heart—the glory and great- atholic church and the contin- ity of the American people. he following cablegram from Rome to sdinal Gibbons was read: “‘Having made known to the holy father the expressions of devotion conveyed o bimn on the part of the Catiolic congress to be i 1w Baltimore, his holin graciously that he' most affectiouately ini- parts his blessing to all the mewmbers, (Signed) RAMPOLAS.” Daniel Dougherty, of New York, was in- ed by the chairman to address the congress, and when he stepped to the front was give @ perfect ovation. He sketchea Catholicism in this country and said that in colonial times the Catholics suffered the di crucities, 1o comparison with which slaves were high- bred guests. The only religious mar- tyrs in America were Cuatholics. “hey were spurned, slandered and vil- fied. The highest honors of the ropublic wero denied thom by a prejudice as strong as a constitutional enactment. The con- solations of religion were deaied to sick and suffering Catholics in many institutions of charity and to criminals 13 prison. While the rank und file were largely Catholics, Catholic chaplains were very few, The time now had come when they could viudicate themselves. They could call themselves pre-eminently American, for with- out Cutholicism, America to-day would be unknown. Liberty, n is freedom to worship God, was first estab- lished in America by Cutholics ulone, and in every battle the Catholics sealed their devo~ tion to this country by their lives, Though the growth of the country has been marvei- ous, that of Cathohcism outstrivped it, and from 40,000 they bave become 10,000,000; from a despised people they buve become a mighty power. The Catholic church is the protector of learning. It was she who saved classic liter- ature from the ruins of the Roman empire. On the eve of the celebration of the four hundredth anuiversary of the discovery of America, it 18 proper to say that all the ‘tre- menaous results achieved therefrom were traced directly to the Roman Catholic church Protestantism was unknown when was discovered. It was a Catholic c ty thought, & monk him, a cardinal wtercoded with the sovereigns of Spain, and a Catholic king and queen made his_expedition possible. It was to spreaa tha Catholic faith that the risk was run, and it was the standard of Catholies which ' was first placed ou these shores, and for over one hundred years the only ohristian worship on the continent was Catholic. All through Dougherty’s address there were outbursts of cheers and at the con- clusion the dignitaries on the stage crowded around bim und shook him warmly by the band. Several other speeches were then made by prominent Catholics, Cardinal Gibbons eantered, accompanied by Cardinal 7Taschereau, of Canada, and both were formally introduced to the con gress. Cardinal Gibtons addressed the del- egutes, welcoming them in his own name and that of the pedple of Baltimore, irrespec- tive of creeds. Tho temporary urganization of he tcongress was made permanent and a shert recess followed. Ob reassembling the committees were announced. The regular work of the con- gress now bogan by the reading of the first paper tho *'Catholioc Congress,” by the his- torian, John Gilmary Shea, of New York. The next paper was one by Major Henry ¥, Brownson, of Detroit, “Lay Action in the Church.” Major Brownson took the ground that in this country there were no Amoarrassing en- tangleinents of the church and state, thwart- ing right aspirations of the layman, aud he velieved in the fullesy, freest discussion and action here on the part of the laity, They knew their duties aud their rights and knew the moral penaltics of overstepping the bounds, Catholic voters should hold their suffrago as a sacred trust and ot vote hastily. Charles J, Bonaparte eloquently di “The Independznce of the Holy See,” Incon- clusion ho said: “*One day theindependence of the holy see may, perhaps, be warranted by diplowacy, but when it_affords a solution for this great problem, diplomacy will be the mouthpiece of unanimous public opinion throughout the Cathotic® I may say the W hole christian world.” To-night o great reception tendered the ting prelates and other distinguished per- 80ns was in progress at the hall occupied by the congress to-day. ‘The city was beauti- fully illumivated during the reception, par- ticularly Cardinal Gibbons' residence and the bouses of the Catholic laity in every quarter. In the reception hall the jum of people was almost suffocating. A welcome 1o the distinguished guosts was delivered by ex-Congressman Roberts, of Maryland, While he was speak- ing two Andian chiefs in gay feathers and embroidered, many colored blankets were seen muking thelr way through the crimson-vestured prelutes 1o where stood Cardinal Gibbons, The Indiuns reached for tae handof the noted ecclesiastic and bendiog low, silently kissed the arch- pishopal ring while spectators stood 1u won- der, finally breaking into cuheers, Tho Indians were both Cutholics, Chief Joseph,of the Flatneads, of Montana, and Chief White Bird, of the Sioux, of Dakota, They were given seats of honor close beside the cardinal with their traveling companion, Father Van- Gorp, 8. J., of the Rocky Mountain mission. Then followed an address of welcomo on be- half of the prelute by Archbishop Elder, The most extraordinary scene of the even- ing cume av the conclusion of the reception, when the prelates, hesaed by the cardival, made the circuit of the hall, shakiog hands with the people right and left in the narrow passaze, The display of enthusiastio devo- Lion by the erowds has probably never been equalled in this country.

For the first timea real interest was to-day shown by Wasbington people in the reports relative to the sale of liquor in Vice Presi- dent Morton’s flats, the Shoreham. This in- terest was excited by the action of the Woman’s National Christian Temperauce union at Chicago in censuring Mr, Morton for permitting Lignor to be sold in his build- ing. That this question may be definitely settled it can be positively stated that a bar room license was granted to Mr. IKeenan, Mr. Morton's agent, but that there is no in- tention to have a bar room in the Shorcham, They havea buffet and serve wines and liquors in the cafe, but Mr. Keenan s that the service is ouly with meal and that no one can get a drink of any sort of liquor there unless he sits at one of the cafe tables and takes something to eat. The vart of the cafe where the liquors are served is furmshed with bare tables, while in the other part of the cafe the tables are set for the service of food. Mr. Morton very much regrets the predicament in which he is placed, but_says by the terms under which he let the Shore- ham he could not have prevented the issu- ance of the license to tha lessee. COLORED PATRONAGE. Ex-Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, fis greatly worked up over the distribution of federal patronuge to the colored republicans, He say “A 000 mission abroad doesn't benefit them. They want laborers’ places in the custom houses. They want to lift mail bags and drive wagons. Tney are laborers and they want appointments which come home to them. It takes bub little to satisfy them, but that little is necessary. The democrats are wise. What did Governor Hill, of New Yorlk, say at that Atlanta con- ferencel It was kept very quiet, but it bas leaked out at last. . In substance he said: *1t will be gooa policy for you of the south to let up a little on these colored people. Ap- point them on the police force in the colored wards. Make them constables and justices of the peace occasionally. o them small offices which they can fill. They will bo grateful.

Lincoin, twenty-nine years of age, o resi- dent of Michigan, to be second deputy com- missioner of pensions, hus brought about an nquiry into and discussion of the firat dep- uty commissionership, now held by Hiram Stuth, of Missouri. 1t will be remem- bered that Swith’s pension was re- rated about the time he took his, official position and that he secured about $6,000 or thereabouts as back pay. There have been hints recently from ume to time in oficial es that Mr. Smith would be asked to resign on account of his alleged connection with the rerating of the pension oftice When Commissioner Raum was asked to-day whether Mr, Smith would soon be superseded, he repliad evasively by saying: “Deputy Commissioner Smith is out of the city.” Mr. Smith bas left the city to visit his home in Missouri, it is presumed, and it is reported to-night that upon his return hero he will tender his resignation. It is no secret among his friends 1n the pension office that the position is very unpleasant to him, and that he hus wanted to retire for several weeks, but he has not found himself in just thc situation, so far as outside sentiment is concerned, to warrant his re- tirement. He does not want the public to take his retirement from the pension of- fice as baving been forced and he has been waiting a favorable opportunity to sten down and out. Deputy Commissioner Smith’s retirement will be followed by a complete overhauling of the entire office. As has been stated in these dispatches, all employes who bave had their pensions rerated under Commissioner ‘Lanner by ths unusval pro- cess or who bave been parties to the rerat- ings of otber employes’ pensions ave to de- part from their present ofiicial positions, By the end of this year the business and force of the pension ofice will have been thoroughly renovated and changed.

Miss Nina Matthews, of 233 East Soventh street, noticed the advertisement and called the attention of her stepfather, Mr. Root, who called uponthe county attorney and presented the the case to him. That oficial summoned Walkor B. Sanssay, editor of the paper to which the note and *‘ad” had been sent, and he produced the original note. It was pronounced a forgery, under section 2 of the statute, relating to forgery, which provides that “a person falsely signing tho name of another to a letter whereby the the person is injured in good name,” and 1t was decided to investigate. Miss Matthews, A young miss of seventeen, ruther preity, was directed to_reply to any letters that might be received as'an answer to the “‘ad,” and the same day a Jetter came signed “Guy E. Meade,” saying that the writer answered the description and would be pleased to make her acquaintauce, and appointed a meeting at the postofiice, Miss Matthews met Meade Friday evening and arranged another meeting on Saturday at 5 o'clock, still acting under instructions, with an ofticer in the background. On Saturday she kept the appointment, and at this inter- view Meade was less guarded and dropped remarks which will be used in evidence against him. At @ signal a deputy sheriff stepped between the couple, and before Meade was fully aware of what was going on he was haudcuffed and on his way to the county jail in custody. 'T'he prisoner, a well dressed young man of about twenty-two years, wearing a dark suit, cutaway cout, cape ulster and black derby hat, said his name was Guy k.

Meade said this morning: *'I came here two weeks ago, 1 went to Kansas City from Omaha and from Kansas City here, as 1 couldn't find anything to do there,” Meade was taken before Judge Burr this morning and held until the 18th under §500 bonds.
