JACK WILKS QUITE WILLING He Has Posted a Guaranty of His Anxioty * to Meet Tommy Ryan. HIGH FIGURES OF THE CHICAGO MEN Mo Evidently Doesn't Care to Tacklo the St. Louls Bralser—Kansas City Beats the Aposties — Sporting News of sny. Cnicaoo, T, April 21.—[Special to Tur Bre.)~Jdack Wilks of St Louis, the Mis sonri welterwoight pugilist, called at the Chicago Herald offico yesterday and posted a forfeit of €100 to bring on. if possible, a match with Tommy Ryan, the welterweight champion, for 00 a side ana a purse of £1,200 offorod by tho South Omaha Athlotic club. *I hayve been trying to get a match With Ryan for over a year,” said Wilks, “but bo has appeared unwilling to give me his game, Just when I thought I had him he took on McMillan, then Howson and next Needham, 1 have beon uuable to geta go with him, Ho has a good chiancs to win my wmoney, but I think [ can make it hot for him!" Tho fight, if arranged, 18 to come off within fivo woeks after the signing of arti- clos, ¥ho winner Lo take all or $1,000 and the Joser §200, as the men decide. ‘The gloves wiil bo the smallest aliowed by law. Both men will bo required to post a guaranty of $100 0r'$200 with the South Omaha Athletic club 1o insure thoir appoarance in the ring. The club is to chiooso a referee, and the final stakeholdor is to be chiosen Lereafter. Tho men are to weigh in at noon at 142 pounds, give or take two pounds. Ryan Feols Weatthy. Tommy Kyan, who hus been giving spar- riug exbibitions in Dubugue, roturned to the ity yestorduy. At first ho was not inclinea 10 viow Wilks' challengo favorably, declar- ing that be would not urvange another match until ho liad settled accounts with Danny Needham. “I do not object to meeting Wilks,” he said, *but I am unwiliing to ight for so small a purse, 1 will, however, meet Wiiks to a fluish before the club offering the Jargest purse. I also want to make a het with him of 2,500 on the side. I think hat if 1 Kot on a match with Wilks it will be like find i0g monoy. It s truo that I bave fount for amuller purses than he offers, but 1 do not feel like doiug so again. Wilks ought to find ‘backing for that amount. I don't care whore tho fight takes place so lonk as it1s beforo ho club hanging up the largest purse.” It is probuvlo that 1f Wilks' backers come to tho front that the mateh will be mado in the course of a day or two. Not Very Anxious to Fight, Tie Ber outlined the true status of affairs botween Wilks and Kyan in last Sunday's jesue, For over a year now the sporting edi tor of Tur Bre, vested with full authori by tho South Omaha club, and several prowmi- nent and wealthy sporting wea of this city, has been ondeavoring to miake a match for Wilks with Ryan. Lsay for Wilks simply from the fact thut he has begeed his friends hero to make the go for him and Tue Be: man was delogated by them to do so, if possi- ble. In pursuance of this desire on the part of Wilks' friends, no less than three several provositions have been made to Kyun, Viz.: that ho fight Wilks for a stake of $1,000 and a purse of 3500; or vice versa, and then later & §1,200 purse with 800 on the side was offered, 'tho winner to take the whole shooting match, These propositions wero il mado to Louis Houseman, sporting editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean and whilom manager of Ryao, and while be promised to consunmate a match lo acceptance of either ono or the other of theso propositions, noth- ing defivite was ever done. lu fact no re sponse from either Ryan or Housemsn—who has since quit the former's management— has been received snent tho last and most liberal provosition, Consequently it all looks very much as if Mr. Ryan would have nons of Mr. Wilks, that is unless he can pull oft & go according to his own dictation and the old Chiengo gaog at_ his heets. He flunked ingloriously in his match at New Orleans with Danny Need- ham, and is evideutly far below the standard at which he rates himself. Last Monday $500 was telographed Wilks from this city to foto Chicago and arrange s meeting with Ryan 1f possible, tho one strict stipulation belug .tont the contest should come off in this vicinity. All of Kyan's talk about & £2,500 bet ou the side is bosh. He con!dn't get that much actual backing in the skape of a bet to fight Danny Daly and it is doudtful whother ho ever saw that much money At one timein hislife. He has fought for purses of £150 and $200 and now demurs at :}l.?fi)fl. with a chance to lay $500 on the side, ub !

The eomcitement was oven greater than on the two provious nights, and judging from tho indications it will be on the increase from this on out. The surprisa of the contest last night was tho defeat of the splendid Amorican team by the Scots, and whilo 1t required the full thirty minutes to accom- plish this there was no question as to its decisiveness, as the ‘Higblanders had a mur- gin of fully two inches to go ou. The Swedes puiled the Irish over on their vest front in just one minute and twenty seconds, and the Danes beat the Big Indians in just ono minute longer. Then came another big sur- prise and that was the Waterloo the Bohe- mians gave the Germaxs, pulling them across tue dead line in a fraction over two minutes. Tho stauding: Won.

BIG INDEMNITY HAS BEEN DEMANDED ested on n Tru ea A Up Chinrge, Cruelly 1 Prison ny rown Intoa § nand Cell — The s, Ofense of Like Nature, Losxnos, April 21.~An arrest of an Eng lishman has been made in Paris which may result in trouble betwoen Kngland and ance. The man arrestod was a Mr. Del mard. Hois the ageut of an English pro jectilo company, and had proviously been employed by the Nordoenfeldt company. On March 81 ho was dis charged, the wanuger fuforming him he was in bad odor with the police. ‘I'io follow- ing Monday he was arrested on tho sireot, handcufted and taken to the profecture, no explanation being given for his arrest. 1o was confined 1n a cell at tho prefecturo until tho noxt morning, when he was taken 1o his lodgings, Thore he declined to move until a warrant for Lis arrest was sworn out. Delmard informed tho officers that ho was a British subjoct, and suid that ho would peal to the British embassy for protection Chiof Detective (loron said ho did not care a fig for the British ombassy. Delmard refused to move, and was knocked down by a blow in the face, Ho was sguin taken 10 the profecture and was placed in o cell filled with vermin, Confined with a Murderer, Tho following day ho was takon to Mazos frison, whore he was stripped and kept nakea for an hour. Ho was then put in a cell with Anastay, who was exccute contly for the murder of his benefactress, Barouess Dollard. At night he slept in a between Aunastay and Ravachol, tho anarchist. The next aay he was placed in a cell with Ravachol. Lavachol was indignant at the treatmont of Delmardand asked him: *1)o vou wonder now that we wish to blow up these people! That is the only redress we have for our wrongs. ‘I'hore have been thousands of ar- rests similar to vours.” Ravachol declared that it was the iutention of the anarchists to blow up the prison. Delmard was given an examination and finally the judge stated that the charge against Lim was that he bhad in his posses- sion letters from a foreign government ask- g him for information regarding the French ballooning corps. Delmard proved that theso letters were old and of no importance. The judge, however, sont him back to prison, but on April 15 lib- orated him, apologizing for his arrest, laying tho blame for it on the police. Delmard has urrived in London and has demanded through the foreign office heavy compensation from Franco for his outrageous treatment. tho Panis, April 21.—The cabmet has fioa decided upon extensive operations in Da- homey which will be entrusted tothe min- ister of marine. La France today vuts forth a strong argument, in which 1t accuses 5 land in encouraging King Behanzin to resist the French. A dispateh from Kotonou states that a gun- boat has arrived there for the purpose of protecting the town should the Datomeyans make an attack upoiit. A most welcome addition has been made to the carrison at Kotonou by the arrival of the gunboat. The French force near Kotonou are building en trenchments and are making a road for the purposo of bringiug supplies from the in- terior. Tne newspapers hero demand that tho present campaign aghinst Dahomey be directed to effect the complete subjugation of the country and thus render turthor action by the French unuecessary. It is judged by tho tone of the articles that it is desired that a French protectorato bo estab. lished in Dahomey.
