In the evening a smoker wiil be given at the Geand hotel by the local club in honor of the visitors. 1t is highly probable that the list of en- tries will be materially increased iu the morning, as some of the smaller Nebraska towns have not as yet been heard from.

[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—There was trouble in Hot Springs tonight. In fact a whole cargo of trouble for several parties interested. For days there have been rumors current on the streets and in places where the fancy most do congregate that a prizo fight between Danny Daly and an unknown had been arranged, growing out of a bar room differenco, as prize fights usually have their genesis. But the appearance of tickets in the saloons reading “Fifteen- Round Set-to Betweeh Danny Daley and the Colorado Kid, Monday, July 3, settled all speculation in regard to the matter and the pavillion whero the set-to took place was i crowded with the sporty element of Hot Springs tonight. Preliminary to the cvent of the evening two gentlemen of color cntertained the assemblage of cattle punchers, track lnyers and gentlomen from the Hotel KEvans and Gillespie with an amusing exhibition of pa-lor gymuastics with gloves. Later Gal- Jihior, who has beon Danny Daly’s partner for years, appeared 10 a friendly bout with Tom Allen, & young seion of a fighting race, in hobnail shoes and & confidence that is only scon in o roper of cattle and bronchos. But the cloanest fight of the scason was precipitated whon Danny Daly and Wil- iam Curry, who really ought to have been called the Arizons Kid, pus up their mauleys for a fifteen-round go. ~ + Round 1 was purely for wind, without a blow being struck by either party. In round 2 Curry began the rushing, to the delight of both "Daly and Gallagher, who was in Daly's corer. . Round 8 developed strong ability in Daly to avoid punishment, and still do hard hitting, a clever right arm lunge from Danny ' drawing a stream of ruby from Curry’silip and the weight of the blow mak- ing the Arizona lad decidedly groggy. Round 4 settlea the trouble. Peace reigns tonight {n this summer resort. After close infightiug for a minute Danny got in a right arm bift which caught the Arizona Kid on the point of the jaw and he went down on the hard floor, ‘while the refcreo not only counted ten, but twice that number, making the cleanest knock out since Hall went down before the terrible swing of Fitz- simmons, NATIONAL L GUE GAMES, Uncle Anse and Willy Billy Do Up the Beaneaters in Whitewash, Cricaco, July 3.—The Colts put up another brilliant game today and defeated the Champions very easily.

Tim CORBETT BROKE HIS WORD, Coney Tsland People Sore Beoause Chicago Captured the Big Fight, ~ New Yong, July 8.—The announcement that Champion James J. Corbett and Charley Mitchell of England had signed articles of agreemont to fight bofore the Columbian Athlatic club of Roby, Ind., for a purse of #5000 created consternation among the local followers of the roped arena. The news made the directors of the Coney 1Isiand Athletic club particularly bitter in their denunciation of Corbett, who, they elaimed, had “thrown them down.” Dick Newton, the match-maker of the club by the sea, said that ho was astonished at Corbott's action. “Why,"” he continued, 1 thought Corbett's word could be relied upon. He has acted shamefully in this mat- ter, April 21, lest, in the reading room of the St. James hotel, he signed the following agreement in the presence of several wit- nesses: ‘T _hereby agree to box Charles Mitchell before tho Coney Island Athletio club, according to articles of agreemont now existing botwoen Mitchell and myself, the mun declared the winner to receive the sum of $10,000. Proper articles to be signed at a later date. “That agroement,” continued Newton, twas drawn by Corbett's manager, William A. Brady, and Corbett could not sign 1t ugh.’ To say that the Coney Island people are sore is expressing it mildly. Amateur Ball Gumes Today.

KEPEAL OF THE ,8ILVER PURCHASE ACT RYSUTIN s Noncommiital on the Subject, Though He Thinks the Object Will Bo Attalngd ~A, Rather Un- sutistagtory Talk. WasniNarox, July 8.—Speaker Crisp ar- rived here this morning on an early train and went at once to his old quarters at the Metropolitan hotel. His arrival was not generally known among the politicians and he was permitted to have a quiot rest after the fatigue of the journcy from the south. Conterred with the Secrotary. Mr. Crisp had not been here long, howover, before he went to the treasury, where, by previous appointment, he had a conference with the secretary that lasted upwards of an hour. This conference was the result of a telegram that reached Mr.Crisp and hurried him to this city before Secretary Carlisle's departure from Washington for his intended trip te Chicago. The speaker declined to say what was tho subject matter of this con- ference, but the inferonce is drawn that it pertains to contemplated logislation in lino with the known policy of the president. The probability of the repeal of the Shermah law was discussed, and it may be that some con- clusion was reached as to how legislation should be commenced when congress moets. After the conference the speaker returned to his hotol, where he will remain quietly until a late train leaves the city tomght or early tomorrow morning, when he wi:l go to New York to make a specch beforo the Tam- many braves. “My visit to Washington at this time," said Mr. Crisp, ‘“‘was not the outcome of the call for the carly session of congress, for, 08 a matter of fact, I did not know of it until after I had left home, and ouly heard of it after I was on the train and coming this way. 1belicve the action of the president to be exceedingly wise and think all factions can agree upon that, for the reason that however members of congress may disagree upon the question of policy in the financial legislation, it is better that the contest should end, come it must, as soon as possi- ble, and the earlier it is disposed of the better for all parties. On the Sherman Act. “Whether tho Sherman purchasing act will be repealed is a question I am unable to answer. My own position upon the question needs no discussion now, for I believe it is understood. 1have not talked with mem- Dbers on the subject, und have not seen them quoted to any extent, certainly not enough to enable me to form an intelligent opinion. The subject has been fully discussed n the press, and it looks as if there was an abuud- ance of expression in favor of repeal. Speak- ing, however, from my personal knowledge of the situation, Iam unable to predict the outeome. I could speak with more positive- pess had I been whera Icould have conversed with members. The egrly call for the session will have a good pffect, for it will put the members to thinking and cavse them to discuss the subject with their constitu- ents, and thereby come hére prepared to do something, and do it without unnecessary delay. Ithmnk it is safe to say that all democrats will stand on the platform of the party and they will unite in congress in carrymg out such legislation as will har- monize with the expressed sentiments of the party as found in that platform.” Mr, Crisp's Hopes, ‘While Judge Crisp avoided the express declaration-of his belief in the repeal of the Sherman law, his confidénce that such'will be the result of the meeting of congress was apparent. . He eyidently hopes that the wishes of the administration will be carried out in this respect, and Mr. Crisp also inti- mated that there would probably be a change in the rules of the house that would permit the majority to shoulder the responsibility of such action as might be detormined upon. I had the general idoa when I left here, as did other members also,” continued Mr, Crisp, “that there ought to be some change in the rules in order to enable us to more speedily come to & vote upon any proposi- tion upon which a vote nvas desired. Iv is hard to tell what form such change will take, and that is a matter of detail that can only be agreed upon after congress meets. In the present rules there is a method by Which a vote can be reached on a report of the committee on rules, and whether it is advisable to alter this is a question that must wait the action of congress. Whatever is done, it is certain that there will be no curtailment of full and liberal debate.” “Kinancial matters will first come before this congress for consideration, for that is the reason for the call for the extra session, and the president will, no doubt. enter into his reasons for the call more in detail when he sends in his message than he did in his proclan,ation, and by that message congress will be largely guided. Tarlif Questions, “How long the extraordinary sossion will last no oue can tell, for thore are other things members will naturally bo desirous of entering upon, notably, the tariff. There will b delay in getting to work upon this important subject_and the committeo on ways and means will bogin the preliminary work as soon as it gets here. Kven should the oxtra session adjourn without action this _committee ~ would prob- ably go shead with tho work during the recess, so thera may be no de- lay 1n prosecuting the labor of tariff reform. This is one of the questions upon which the party had decided there shall be pursued a vigorous policy and the early fulfillmens of that policy may be expected.’ Mr, Crisp, in the further course of his talk, expressed himself in fuvor of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks and be- lriiu\lrlud that this proposition would be car- od. Concerning the organization of the com- mittees of the house, the speaker declined 10 talk, suying ho had given the matter no consideration.

The Reading is bound by its guaranty to redeem the bonds, but it is probable that the bondholders or some other parties will take possession of the road and release the Reading.

The gov- ernor’s mail this morning contained other letters on the same subject and he has now recoived replies from all the general mana- gers to whom he addressed his communica- tions. He is confident the roads will soon take tho step desired. e STREAKS OF SUPERSTITION. Colonel Sweeney Diverts on Cranks and Thelr Pocullarities. “Say,” said Colonel Poter Sweeney of the Union Pacific the other evening, just after the man he was walking with stooped and picked up a pin that lay shining close to the curbstone, ‘‘did you ever notice how many cranks there are in the worid? Of course, I don't refer to present company—oh, no, certainly. But I was just remarking on the curious superstitions that people get into their heads. Now, for instance, you stopped just now and picked up that pin, from which T infer that you are in the habit of doing so Whenever you see one. “Well, I know lots of men who never fail to pick Up a pin, the same as you do. Then there are the sidewalk cranks, who always step on each third or fourth crack according to the width of the boards, or, if they are walking on a pavement, ' they stop between and then on the cracks. “After these come the stair cranks. They wouldn't tell 1t to anyone if they were asked about it, but the fact is that these persons always start up stairs left foot first, and feel badly if the right foot doesn’t strike the top of the staws first, These persons, I may remark, are usually those who have been afllicted with a semi-military education, as are those sock and shoe cranks who put their hosiery and footgear on the left foot first. “Then some men have a peculiar way of eatering & room. They will always enter with a certain foot foremost and their exit will be made in the same man- ner. And——Great Scott, L might go on for a year about cranks and nover get through. Butdo you mind telling me why you pick up stray pins?? *Why, no, certainly not,” answered the other man. “I do it for luck, of course.” “Ior luck, en? Waell, have these blooming pins ever brought you any luck?” “To be sure. Why, only last winter, ata time when I was in' very uneasy circum- stances, I picked up three pins in one fore- noon, with the point toward me in every case, That xfternoon I got—" “You got a draft?" usked Colonel Sweeney, in a sort of I-think-you-are-a-liar tone of voice. 1 got an insurance assessment for $30.05," replied the pin crank, sadly. *And still you say pins don't bring luck. Wasn't that luck —bad luck?” But Colonel Sweeney hadn't a word to say. —_— NEW TRAIN BERVICE, The railways leading out of Omaha are anticipating a large increase of passenger trafic during the next few months and most of them are increasing their passenger fa- cilities.

Passenger agents revort a light business Just at present from the Rocky Mountain re- gion, and look for a reduction in rates in Au- gust. They say that the Missouri river busi- ness is good, and they hope to have a num- ber of cheap excursions from the west in about sixty days. The passenger and ticket agents of the railways leading into Omaha unite in say- ing that tho present indications point to heavy passenger traflic to the east this month and the sales of tickets for the first three days of July show a large increase over those of any other month of this year, Appreciating the terrible extent of the misfortune which befell John W. Farrish Saturday evening, his countless frionds have been clamoring for some way in which to attest to their hearcfelt sympathies, and a select few of his most intimate associates have hit upon the plan of raising a fund for hum by popular subscription.

Collector North has decided on what rec- ommendations he will make to the depart- ment for gaugers in this district, He will recommend Louis Heimrod for chief gau and Messrs. Bradley and Marnell of Ne- braska City. and Devinny of Johnson count; for assistants. The appointments are m by the department, but it is always unde stood that the recommendation of the col- lector “'goes.” It seems to be the opinion of several moem- bers of the Board of I3ducation that the up- proaching contest over the election of n sec- retary of the board will rapidly narrow down to @ choice between thres men, although there aro something liko twenty gpplicants in the fleld. These three men are H. M. Redfield, J. M. Gillan and George C. Potvin, 1t looks now as though the election would not be reached before next week. 0 bids were reccived yesterday for the purchase of the long-time bonds offered for sale by City Treasurer Bolln. The amount of tho bonds was $150,000, bearing 415 per cout interest, $100,000 being main sewer bonds and §50,000 intersection paving bonds. The failure to receive propositions is the first on record 50 far as Omaha securities are con- cerned, and is attributed to the mistrust of the eastern bond purchasers and tho strin- gency in the money marlket. 1f there is any one man who is wanted more than another in Omaha that mav s M. S, Lindsay, who for a time flew high as the matn guy in the old Colisoum enterprise, and also as a real estate agent who had money to loan. But the places that knew Lindsay once know him no wore, hence the wave of sadness that has swapt over the hearts of some of the eustorn peoplo with whom he formerly did business. One thiug is cortain, and that is that Lindsay has gone and it is charged that a large number of men have been left holding the bag. In the criminal court the jury in the case of the state against Frank WFisher, the man who was charged with holding up W. H.
