Jack Davis and Billy Woods Ready to Fight Today. NOBODY CARES TO BET ON THE OUTCOME, Little, But In- Burt Masterson Talks a Docsn't Say Much—Much terest Felt by Swell Sporting Men. Sux Frascisco, Cal, Sept. 10, —[Special Telegram to Tur Bk, | —Sporting men from the east are commencing to arrive in antici- pation of tho pugilistic events of next weok. The neavyweight fight between Billy Woods ot Denver aud Jack Davis of Omaba in the Pacific Athletic club rooms on the 21st inst. is expected to ba sensational. I saw both men today at their training quarters, and they are in primo condition physically. Both are ready to fight tomorrow. ‘'ho men are wou- derfully athlotic fellows, both weiging over 180 pounds in condition. As in the Mitchell-Gallagher match, there 18 great contidlence on both sides. The Woods varty think Billy cannot lose, and the Dav people aro sure that a man who fought as game o battle with Choynski as Jack did Is good cnough to meet anyone outside of a world beater. Betting is very slow on the match, us the best judges are in doubt how to place their noney. The general impression js that the fight will not bealong one, as both men aro knockers-out, and the tirst solid blow is likeiy tosettlo the business, Davis is a good deal heavier than when he fought Choynski, and is said to bo in better form by Dauny Needham, who boxes with him daily. He makes things very lively for the wolter-weight, though of course the boxing is & friendly spar. The mere work of banging sucha powerful fellow is, however, no child’s play. Danny thinks Davis is a_sure winner, and Burt Masterson, who is tramning Woods, says Billy will win without getting even a black eye. But the Davis men now on the ground say for a fact that Woods will be the ouly surprised man at the fight. A few small bets were made tonight slightly in favor of Davis, chiefly on account of his battle with Choynski. NATIO. AL LEAGUE. Pittsburg Jolts New. York Down Two Notches at Once.

WAGNER'S OPERA AT PARIS. First Presentation of Lohengrin in the Fronch Capitol, KINDLY RECEIVED BY THE AUDIENCE. Scenes of Disturbances Outside of the Theater, But a Riot Was Not Precipitated —Extraordinary itions Taken, Panrs, Sopt. 16.—Tho porformance of “Lobtengrin' comm at 8 o'clock this ovening. Tho procincts of the opera house were crowded, but up to that timo only & slight attompt had beon made to create dis- ordor. The polico had strict orders to take energoticgaction ifnecessary. Tho “elaque’ seats wero occupled by detectives, and all approaches to the corridors wore necupied by police and an 1Espoctor stood by each chock taker to scrutinize incomers. Mountod re- publican guards kept tho streets cles The house was crowded, there being ao spe in oftaining admission. The overture was listened to in profound silen the audience breaking into rapturous ap piause at the conclusion. The admirably mounted and finely r Van Dyck and other artists were recalled several times and _applauded to the echo. There wus o noisy demonsteation out- side the opera ~ house during the performance. By 9 o'clock tho scene outside the opera” Louse was of the liveliest description. “The pavement was almost im- passable and there was a sprinkiing of an- archists usd other rough charactors in tho crowd that thronged it. A band of students sang the ““Marseilles.”” The crowd respond- cod with cries of “Vive la France!” “Abus Wagn Portions of the mob continuuily made rushes against the police cor- don, and the police, whenever these inctirsions became formidable, assumed th offensive and charged the mob, which would take to flight in hot haste. Then the singing and shouting would soon bo renewed, b rushes and charges repoated. ia several it stances respectablo onlookers were roughly aandled ond arrested on_the slightest provo- cation and then cuffed 1f they ventured to make the mildest protest. Fu'ly fifty per- sons had been arrested by 10 o'clock.” Then a force of cavalry and mounted police forei- bly patrolid the s disturbance aid a most dote offort to cloar the streets was made—an effort meeting with considerable success. rom first to last there was no really dangerous featuro about the disturbance. The crowd was apparently mainly composed of peoplo curious to wit- ness any demonstration that mignt bo made, side the opera house critics objected to the length of the second act and a portion of the audi:nce found the recitatives, with which Lobengrin abounds, wearisome. But novertneless tne audienco generally appre- ciuted the singing. The performance was concluded without troublo and the work prounounced a great arustic success: Many in tho audience went out on the steps to witness the scenes out- side, und were reccived with rounds of hisses. At the conclusion of tho perform- ances many policemen were still occu- pied i clearing the ets, which were then fast emptying. Some freo fights were reported here and there, but no one was hurt. Altogether about 1,000 persons were arrested but all il probably be lberated before morning. Tho German embassy was strongly guarde throughout the night. A party of 200 roughs smashed the windows of the Ger- man Cafe Hanover. The streets soon re- sumed their normal aspect. pi el MEXICO'S PROSPERITY, President Diaz Opens Congress and Reviews the Republic's Progress.

John Cusick, formerly of Omaha and lately of most any place, was arrested yesterday afternoon while standing at the corner of Sixteenta and Corby streots, by Dotective Ellis and Doputy Sheriff J. C. Keenan of Coconina county, Arizona. The arrest ended a long chase for the heriff, who has followed young Cusiclk for nearly 5,000 miles. Some two months ago Cusick and two pais broke into an_ Atlantic & Pacific freizht car down in Arizena and stole about 500 worth of goods. The two pals were not smcoth enou and were promptly caught. Cusick got awa, Sherift Keenan who is ulso al agent for the Atlantic & Pacific railroad took up the case and startea on the trail of the young man where he camped for a good many days. The much wantod thicf traveled generally in tramp style, using box cars when poss ble, but two or three times chanciug bis clothing and riding in a passenger coach. Keenan traced and _followed his man through California to San K co, then to \irginiae City and Ogden. I'rom there Cusick went to Green River, Rawlius, Chey- enne, Donver aud finally to Omaia Whon he reached tais city the sheriff was close behind bim and had the pleasure of placing the bracefets on him before he reached his old home at Fort Omaha Cusick has been in lots of trouble. He is reported to have shot two soldiers and his own father at Fort Omaha before ho was 15 vears old, when the Ninth infantry was Stationed hore. His mother bas spent 8,000 or 310,000 in getting him out of trouble, but this time it will bo to use. He will have to £0 back to the cactus and alkali country and stand his trial, which surely means coa tion and a terr: at the Fort Yuma penite tiary. Sheriff Keeran is overjoyed at is capture, as it hos been a long chase with the thiet almost within his grasp balf a dozon times. As soon_as_the necessary papers he mado out Cusick will be taken back by the ofticer. —— LIBERTY NEAR. ell, the Bank of’ England Forger, Will Be Released Next February. Cicaco, 11l Sept.
