The purse was $1,800, of which the loser received $300, Both men had deposited §250 with the club as a guarantee thatthey would not overtop middleweight, 154 pounds. Marquis of Queensbery rules governed the contest and the gloves usea were of white kid weighing five ounces. In the betting Dempsey reigned the favorite at odds of 100 to 60 all day, and the wagers, private and in pool rooms, ran far up into the thousands. Dempsey money was far more easily found than was the Aus- tralian’s, ‘Ibe contestants had trained conscien- tiously for their meeting, Dempsey at Nep- tune Gardens, Alameda, under the super- vision of Denny Kelleher and D enny Cos- tigan; McCarthy at Harbor View, the ciub rooms avd the Golden Gate park under the watchful eye of his brother, Mike McCar- thy, the lightweight, * ‘I'he two men were confident of succe: Each nad wagered goodly sums on the chances of his coming out victay in the on slaught of fists.

Yet the Tumes, he says, ought to be placed on the pillory of history beside the most heinous propa- gator of false charges. O'Brien denies tuat he ever joined the league to secure the separation of Ireland from Ergland, but be- cause Parnell’s action in parliament induced Dillon and himself to_beliove that the aims of Ireland could bo obtained by parliamen= tary methods.

DORSEY EXPLAINS IT. ‘Why Non-Residents Get the Sid- noy Lan1 Office. PORTER" SCAPEGRACE The Admiral's Incorrizible Ofspring Again in Troubl Investigas tion of the Siunders Muraer Ordered. WasmINGTOX Buneav Tik Ovaria Bae, | 513 FOURTERNTH STRERT, WASHINGTON. D, C., Feb, 18. | It having been brought to the attontion of the members of the Nebraska delegation that some criticisms are being made in rofor- ence to their action in recommending for the Sidney land office non-residents of the Sid- ney land district for the position of registers and receivers, I asked Mr. Dorsey to say something in reference to the mattor. Mr. Dorsey said that as the appointmonts to the laud office were presidential the president had the right to appoint a citizen of Maino if he wvleased t a land office in Nebraska, but as the membors of the Nebraska delegation have been united in making recommendations citizens of Nebraska bave been and would be selected to fill the positions in the land offices in that state. When the Siduey case wus considered the delegation was unani- mous in 1eference to the appointment of Mr, Neeves of Ogallala as receiver. The delegation desired to recommend the ap- pointment of a man from Cheyenne county as register, but owing to the fact that strong remonstrances were made against his appointmeut and that delegatious of citi- zon8 from the Sidney land district visited Omahs durng a mecting of the delegation and protested against the ap-~ pointment it was suggested Lhat as the republicans of the Sidney district could not agree it would be well ‘to recommend some one from outside that land district, und Mr. Bianchard was unanimously agreed upon by the delegation. There wore some twelve or thirteen applicants from the Sid- ney district for the position of register and receiver, and as there \was a great deal of feeling manifested it was thought best to se- lect some one who had the endorsement of the party in the tate. *‘My fight has been,’ Mr. Dorsey continted, ‘‘to have residents of the Third congressional district appointed to the land ofice within that district. Other members of the district have felt that as soven of their land offices were in my dis- trict, and as that was the major portion of the patronage, that 1 should be willing to allow prominent republicans who had been faitbful workers in the party from other districts to have positions in this district. So far I have been successful. The delegation has never considered in making these appointments whether or not the ap~ plicant resided in the land district to which he desired appointment. Another thing— there is a strong feeling that when a town like Sidney has a land oftice and also an im- portant military post, for the continuance of which we have been working for six years past, that the citizens of Sidnoy and Chey- eune county should not demand everything. PORTER'S WAYWARD SON.

Davis Besex Porter is o fine looking man and was formorly an officer of the army, from whieh he was casniered for con- duct un¥ecoming & gentleman some years ugo, He has had various adventures in and out of prison; and_the admiral has several times declared that he would have nothing ujore to do with him, but when he gets out of his scrapes and goes home he is generally received as the prodigal son was and remains in favor until he gets caught in some disreputabie act again, Last summer he tendered his services to the government of Hayti and it was announcea that he was to b2 made admiral of the fieet of that little re- ic, but the Haytiun minister here, Mr. n, knew his character and checked the Ho is under urrest now for persuad- ing certain colored men to pay him money to secure them government positions, THE SAUNDERS MURDER, The recent murder of Deputy sarshal Saunders in Florida was the subject of an extended conferenca al the cabinet meeting today. The attorney general bresented reports of United States Marshal Mi; District Attorney Stripling of Florida, de- tailing the circumstances of the affair and the causes which led to iv. 3oth gentlomen had previously seen the president and the avtorney general and had given them oral reports. Quinoy, the town near whioh the murder took place, is the county seat of Gassden county, one of the northern tier of counties and ndjoins the Georgia line. The next county seat 18 Madison and the history of these two counties since 1850 shows a condition of 1awlessness und terror- ism which the presigent considers worthy of national attention. Lawlessuess has existed in these counties for several years, the pur- pose being to deprive the republicans of their votes. Mudison showed a republican major- "f of over four nundred prior to the election of 1580, but since then it has gone demo- cratic, ‘The democrats have refused to open the polls in precincts where the republicans had & majority, and where the parties were more evenly balanced their practice has been to stuff the ballot boxes. Three woeks ago the district attorney sent Deputy Mar- shal Saunders 1o serve subpmns upon resi- dents of Gassden and Jackson counties. While at Quiney he was seized and overpowered by a gang of men and forcibly taken over the stato line into Georgia, He recoguized W. W. McFarland and another man as two of those engaged in preventing him from the performance of his duties, and last week Marshal Mizell with Saunders went down to Quincy with warrants for the arrest of ths meu engaged in the outrage., While there three men succeeded in .nducing Saunders to take a drive into the country and brought back his dead body. 1t is the opinion of both the district attorney and marshal that Saun- ders was killed by these men to prevent Lim Irom testifying agninst them, and that he was enticed into the country for the purpgse of putting him out of the way. Marshal Mizell reports that the statement which has been printed in democratic news- papers to the effect that Deputy Saunders had been drinking on the day he was mur- dered, and that the effectof his liquor led him into needloas danger, 18 an infamou: {abrication, There s no doubt that he was a sassinated as the result of a plot. The trouble dates back to the last election when an effort was made to secure & proper return of the republican vote. Mr., Saunders was o brave and fearless man and active n trying to secure the enforcement of the law and he was disliked as well as feared by democratic leaders. ‘I'he result of,the cabinet conference was a unanimous expression of opinion that the attorney general should take all necessary measures to maintain the authority sad en- force the laws of the United States in the counties mentioned as we'l as to secure the punisbinent of the assassin, but the mode of procedure was left to discretion. The president is very much worked up over the outrage snd the attorney general will do nothing without consultiog him, PROPITIATING WASHINGTON.

A strong effort is being made here to in duce the president to appoint John Dill, the prescnt rogister of the land oftice at Guthrie, as governor of the new territory of Okla- homa. Mr. Dill is an Indiana wan and this fact leads to considerable opposition on the part of residents of the territory, who either want a place for themselves or for some {riend connected in no way with Indiana. ‘Ihe commissioner of pensions has ap. pointed as members of the board of pension examining surgeons K'remont J.

STREETS FILLED WITH MASKERS, Remarkable Prevail K Count Urder and Good Naturo th or er of Hungary. A Red Letter Day in Paria, (Copyright 1890 by James Gordon Bennett.) Pants, Feb. 18, —[New York Heraly Cable—Special to s Ber)—~The carnival as one of tho best and heartiest France has enjoyed in years. The weathor was perfect, the crowids were tremoudous, the costuwes wero steiging und abundunt and the fun universal. The sun shono warm and bright and Paris rolaxed its featuves, which have boen darkened these past weoks by the influonza and wicomy weather, into one vast, comprehensive motropolitan smile, which spread far snd wide along the broad boulevards and up and down the narrowest alleys, bringing gaiety to every house and heart, oven of the poorest, and making little children danco for joy, whilo all the fathers and mothers and grand- mothers of the city and all the prosvective fathers and mothors and grandmothers suddenly awoke to the fact that there were still a few thiogs in thia world to make life worth living, and one of these was the mardi gras, ‘Ihe clowa musician 18 one of the rreat features of the Parisian mardi gras just as the murdi gras is one of the rea letter days in the existence of the Parisian clown musician, Oun the day preceding Lent the entire population is di- vided into two clusses—those who siug songs they don’t know nto accompanying instru- monts they can play, and ahose who can dole out copies with good-natured resignation to those decorative members of socicty who make fools of themselves to smt the publio taste, and who are not by any means such 1ools as they look. In the courso of the cveniag the writer g0t mto a conversation with a gentleman whose left eye was heavily dressed in Dblack, the rest of his face being white with the whiteness of chalk, and whose raiment was variegated in a manner calculated to make Joseph's fa- mous coat retire from public Life, This con~ versation took place in a cafe on the boule- vard 1 which he of the mournful eye had marched with great twanging and tooting, followed by two other gentlemen dressed as young ladies of the most advanced decollcte school—that is, decollete Lrom the neck down and from tne ankles up. After the chalk- faced leader had concluded a solo about cer~ tain blondeset fins fillettes, which wound uy with a touching tra lace de tra laeedou, he volunteered the iformation that the duy's total receipts had so fur amounted to over 300 francs, aud the night was sull young, As there must have been on duty several hundreds, if nov several thousand similar sets of itinerant twangers, each more accomplished than any other and mors fantasuically ottived, 1t is easy to see that Paris pays handsomely on mardi-gras for the privilege of indulgine indefinitely o mu- sical monstrosities. More interesting than these untics were those of wnother contingent who wore costumes and disguises, and numbers of youug men aud women had decked themselves out in quaint or amusing fashion from pure love of the thing. Such were to be seen everywhere, vieinz with one another 10 at- tracting uttention to the crowds, making every ome laugh and laughipg them- selves w8 heartily as woy one at their own absurditics. Egyptiaun sirens impersonated by agile farceurs from the batignolles quarter, dancol the dance au ventre in a manner calculated to scandalize the performers of the Rue dei Cairo, Wild Indians in feathers aud paint avorted about in orthodox wmanner, play- fully attempting to scalp the Spanish bull fighters, who, drawing their lttle swords, valiantly refused to be scalped. Negroes, whose bonny faces contrasted sharply with the white skin of their arms, flirted desperately with tripping damsels wearing brilliant - robes and sending mi chievous glances through eye holes of their black velyet masks. Dashing troubadours strutted about with guitars, while all sorts of old-time characters, with quear wigs and trousers and more or less exaggerated noses, .lived aguin for the moment and lived right mercily. Particularly happy were the little children, for whom numerous funcy balls were given in the afternoon ana evening. Strangers n Paris must have been struck by the remarkable order and good nature which prevailed everywhere, ‘I'nere was no fighting, no drunkenness and haraly @ shout, though the great streets were 80 blocked by the crush of humanity as to be all but impassible, Parisiuns are cer- tainly a race of philosophers, who belicve in taking life easily and enjoying its good tLings as they come, so they did today. - COUNT ANDRASSY DEAD, Hungary's Ex-Uromier Passes Away Aftgr a Long Llines: LCopyright 189 by Jamss Gordon Benastt,) Viex Feb. 18, —|New York Herald Cable~—Special to Tur Bee.|—Buda Pest is today a mourning city. Count Julius An- drassy died this morning at 8 o'clock, All buildings have been hung with black, and the appearance of the city recalls the death of Francis Deck, the great Hungarian min- ster, to whose party the deceased belonged, The deceased remained couscious up to a few minutes before Lis death, and was able 1o re- ceive the lust sacrameuts, ‘'Ihe cause of death was disease of the bladdor, from which for some time previous t his demive he suffered the most intense pain, At the opening of tiie session of the cham- ber the president announced the death of the count, recalling to the memory of the depu~ ties the eminent services the deceased had re- turned to his sovereign and empire. The chamber then, as a token of grief, adjourned after ordering an entry of the circumstauces to be made on the minutes, It has been decided this afternoon that the funeral of the former Hungarian premier and Austro-Hungarian minister for forelgn affairs should be & stute affuir, conducted ay the expense of the government. The em- peror 1s deeply affected und bus signified nis intention of personally participating in the ceremonies. The body wil lie state for several davs in rowunda of the academy of Anarassy’s long illness seems to have accen- tuated rather than discounted the .t vopular grief which is felt wt the death of the wopular typical Hungarisn. The travsfer of the remains takes place tomor- row. Itis probable that they will be flually wterred at Terrobes, lu the vault of the Andrassy fawily.
