LONDON, Exa., Oct.12.—The fight be- tween Peddlar Palmer of England and Johnny Murphy of Boston for the bantam championship of the world took place to- night at the National Sporting Club and was won by Palmer. Both men were in excellent condition and each weighed 1143 pounds. Palgner was a good favorite in the betting at odds of 9 to 4 on him. The Englishman forced the fighting from the start. He was much the quicker in his deliveries and hustied Murphy a) nd the ring in lively style. In the first two rounds Murphy failed to land a single good blow. Nevertheless he stood up bravely and took punishment pluckily >almer ratned blows upon him with his and leit. The plucky Yankee boy seartily applauded. In the third round Murphy landed once or twice, but did no apparent damage to his ovponent. Murphy started in the fourth round with more advantage, but he was terribly slow. Reund after round Paimer rushed Murphy about the ring, but the American did not show that he had been punished much until the end of the twelfth round. Then he went to his corner very tired. Before e was called, bowever, he pulled himself together and made & splen- dia fight in the thirteenth round. Despite his pluck he was too terribly battered tore- cover permanently, and Palmer bad the battle in hand to the finish. At the end of the twentieth round Palmer was declared the winner on points. Murphy was not knocked out. Palmer’s were Baxter and Fiizpatrick, aig and Solly Smith acted in a y for Murphy. L4 WOLCOTT WHIPS “SCALDY.” Quinn Receires Serere Punishment From the Colored Pug.

A ——— REPLY TO HOWARD GOULD. English Yachtsmen BSay They Did Not Intend 4ny Discourtesy. LONDON, Exa., Cct. 12.—A meeting of the Yacnt Racing Association was held this evening at which was drafted the fol- lowing reply addressed to the council by Howard Gould, owner of the yacht Niagara, protesting against the action of the committee of the association in board- ing and examining the Niagara in May last in the absence of Mr. Gould and with- out ziving him previous notice of their in- tention. Sir: 1 am directed by the council of the Yacht Racing Association to acknowledge re- ceipt of & letter from you dated September 20. I am to reply that the visit of their committee was made in the usual course solely in conse. quenee of the official measnrer having in May, 1896, in the execution of his duty reported to the council that the yacht's water tanks were constructed together in such & manner that ihey might be used in shifting ballast. Notice of such visits is never given. The committee expected to find you on board, but earing irom the capiain that you had gone to London & few minutes previously, they re- quested permission to inspect the water tanks, which was given. Their observation confirmed the report of the measurer,and they recom- mended to you in writing that the tanks should be disconnected, st the same time ex- pressly disclaiming any imputation that the tenks were actually put to other use. The Y., Oct. 12.—In the | | | | mateh; council failto see that any discourtesy was dflpllged toward you; certainly none was in- tended. Itis not necessary to enter into dis- cussion of the other points in your letter. As you have thought fit to make your grievance public, it is proposed that this rep'y pass through thesame channel.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Oct. 12. — Stanford’s recent game with the | Olympics was as satisfactory to Coach Cross as to Captain Fickert. The former remarked before the game that if the San TFrancisco eleven could play the game they were said to be capable of his own team would be beaten. He was gratified, therefore, that the Stanford piayers were able to hold their opponents to a tie. “Some of our boys played better ball | than I had expected, and possibty, on the whole, the team showed up a trifle stronger than I believed they would in the but, altogether, the play was pretty close on the plane I had mapped | out.” Cross was well satisfied with the work of the Stanford backs, but says that they do not work well together yet in interfering for the runner, nor do they all start on the instant and hit the line in a bunch when the signal is given for a buck by one of their number. This he will give special attention to, and he will also endeavor to impress on the ends the responsibility resting on tbem and the danger of being drawn in by an opposing ruaner. I'be training table will be started next Monday, with irom fifteen to eighieen players on, and the number will gradually be increased as individual men show their ability and the time of the big game draws near. Last year there were thirty men at the table when the season ended. Cross says that in Yale the table starts with the opening of regular practice and the old Varsity players are the first men put down. Then the number is augmented throughout the season, the same as is done here. Sl L Facing at Petaluma. PETALUMA, Car, Oct. 12.—The un- finished races of the San Rafael Hunt Club meeting, postponed from last Satur- day, were decided here to-day. In the match trotting race between H. E. Wise's bay mare Madera and J. J. Crooks’ black horse Bay Rum, Madera won the finishing beat. Sue wac driven by Holbrook. Dick Harvey drove Bay Rum. Time, 2:183 H. E. Wise's Billy Patsy won the decidii:g heat of the pacing match with Rudolph Bpreckels’ Marg uerite. FUNERAL OF A BANK ROBBER. The Grave Was Not Filled In and the Coffin Frequently Opened for the Purpose of Identification. SHERBURNE, Miyx., Oct. 12.—Sunday was a day of funerals in Sherburne, as well as affording an opportunity for the residents of the surrounding towns to look at the scene of Wednesday’s robbery and the body of the dead robber. Several hun- dred from adjoining counties came in during the day and gazed curiously at the bank where the tragedy occurred. The robber was buried at 11 o’clock this morn- ing. At least, the remains were taken to the cemetery at the south side of town and interred in the potter's fiela. The grave was not filled in, however, and the coffin was frequently opened during the day for the purpose of identification. When the coffin had been lowered 1n its rough pine box Rev. G. J. Lutz, the local Methodist pastor, 'spoke briefly on the recent crime and its speedy vengeance. Services for the dead cashier, George Thorburn, were held at the Congrega- tional church this afternoon. The re- mains will be shipped to-morrow to Mon- treal. FAIRMOUNT, Mixx., Oct. 12.— The second Sherburne bank robber, who was arresied at Lake Mills, Iowa, arrived here to-night and was placed in jail. The militia will guard the jail all night. The Marshal of Sherburne and a big delegation of citizens are here, but there are no men- acing appearances. Fairmount jail mow bas two murderers, one being Craft, who killed his wife in a fit of jealousy about nine months ago. The second is the Lake Mills captive. No fear is entertained for Craft, but mutterings have been heard in the streets of Fairmount and Sherburne to-day, and il is feared that indignant citizens of Bancroft, Iowa, may attempt to avenge the death of %nrshnl Gallien. ZLove and a Tragedy. ST, LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 12—At 12:30 o'clock this morning Philip Zimmer, a blacksmith, fatally shot Celia Veitz, his sweetheart, at her home, and then shot his sister, when he committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart. Zimmer and his sister cailed on the dead fu-l and a quarrel over another young man ed to the tragedy. third.

But His Lordship Came Near Being Accused of Serious Misconduct in Winchester. LCNDON, Exe., Oct. 12.—Lady Tina Scott; the mother of Countess Russell, who was arrested on Friday and arraigned on Saturday at the instance of her son-in- law, Earl Russell, who charged her with criminal libel, was again arraigned in ghe Bow-street Police Court to-day. The courtroom wae crowded with spec- tators, many of whom moved in the high- est circles. A hookseller named Carrez was called to the witness-stand and testi- fied that a Mrs. Franklin, who was con- ducting a massage establishment in the rooms above his shop in Cranbourne street, summoned him upstairs in August last and introduced him to Lady Scott as her (Mrs, Franklin’s) sister. Lady Scott paid him a sum of money to arrange for the printing and distribution among the members of the House of Lords, House of Commons, the London newspapers, clubs, etc.,of a pamphlet containing libel- ous matter, which was signed by Cocker- ton and Kast, who were also arrssted, ar- raigned and remanded in connection with the case on Baturday, and also by one Aylott, who is now a fugitive, having flea to Algiers to escape arrest. Charles Matthews, counsel for the prose- cution, said that Kast had endeavored to bring an action against Earl Russell in the Winchester Court on Kriday, intend- ing to accuse his lordship of having been guilty of serious misconduct in Winches- ter in 1839, put at the last moment he slunk away, allowing the case to be with- drawn upon technical grounds. Two hours later, Mr. Matthews said, warrants for the arrest of Lady Scott ana Kast and his accomplice, Cockerton, were obtained. Lady Scott and the other defendants— Frederick Kast, a groom, and John Cock- erton, a marine engineer—were committed for trial in the Criminal Court — Old Bailey —under the same bonds as were im- posed upon them on Saturday—£2000 for Lady Scott and £500 each for Kast and Cockerton. ARRIVES SAFE AT HALIFAX. There Is No Longer Any Doubt Concerning the Safety of the British Cruiser Talbot. HALIFAX, N. 8., Oct. 122—The British cruiser Taibot, concerning the safety of which startling rumors have been current in London to-day, sailed into Halifax har- bor at 5 o’clock this afternoon. She saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Erskine as she moved to her anchorage. The Talbot sailed from Portsmouth Oc- tober 3, having been commissioned for British North America and West India station. She is one of Great Britain’s newest ships of war, and this is the first time she has been in American waters. The news from London that she was reported to have foundered at sea created intense excitement in naval circles here, and also among the military. Three hours after the sensational report was re- ceived from London the ship was sighted off this port. —_—— AN ENCOUNTER WITH REBELS. Spanish Troops Not Having All Their Own Way in Cuba. HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 12. — General Lchave reports that on October 8 his com- mand had a serious encounter with the rebel forces, who held strong positions on the heights of Guayabitos. Aiter a fight lasting three hours the rebels were finaily dislodged, despite their tenacious defense, under the raking fire of the Spanish artillery and a brilliant bay- onet charge by the Spaniards. Mateo, be- fore retreating to Camato ana Caiguanabo, burned his own camp and fired five cannon shots at the Spainards without effect. The loss of the rebels is unknown. The Spanish loss was fifteen men killed and two lieutenant-coionels, four heuten- ants and ninety-three men wounded by bullets and machetes and five men badiy bruised. General Echague had his wounded conveved to Santiago de Cuba. REPARATION DEMANDED, Italy Addresses a Peremptory Note to the Porte About a Subj:ct’s Slaughter. England and Russia Also Preparing for an Emergency in the Turk- ish Question, ROME, ITavy, Oct. 12.—The Italian Gov- ernment has addressed a peremptory note to the Porte with reference to a young Iralian subject murdered in the recent massacres in Constantinople. The note says that the young man was beaten on the bead and felled to the ground by a man in a Turkish uniform, who continued to cudgel his prostrate victim until he had gilled him. The note concludes by de- manding the punishment of the gulty persons and the payment of indemnity for the murder of the Italian subjects. LONDON, Exa., Oct. 12—An anti-Sultan demonstration was held in Hyde Park yes- terday by the workingmen of London. The weather was very co'd and dull, but. a large number of persons took part in the procession that formed on the Thames embankment and marched thence to Hyde Park, the line being fifty minutes passing. Twelve platforms had been erected, and among those who made addresses were Henry Broadnurst, M. P.; John Burns, the Socialist member of the Commons; Edward H. Pickersgill, M. P.; James Stuart, M. P.; James H. Yoxall, M. P., and the Rev. Hugh Price Hugh They all denounced the Sultan for the horrors of the massacre of his Christian subjects. Resolutions were adopted call- ing upon the British Government to bring increased pressure {0 bear upon the great Powers to secure united action to prevent the Sultan from continuing the ‘‘carnival of blood.” The Daily Graphic will te-morrow pub- lish a dispatch from Sebastopol saying that Russia is continuing her preparations for an emergency. The local military and naval forces at Sebastopol, Odessa and Batoum have been mobilized. Gene- ral Bobrikoff, chief of the War Office staff, recently arrived at Sebastopol, and has heid important conferences with the local commanders. He has inspected the garrison and arsenal and ‘has mapped out a company of submarine engineers, who have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to immediately embark upon a gunboat. This gunboat is already loaded with mines, shells and torpedoes. The interior garrisons in Poland, Laurida and Caucasus have received orders to be in readiness at a moment’s notice to board special trains for ports on the Euxine. BERLIN, GErMANY, Oct. 12.—The Lokal Anzeiger has a dispatch from Constanti- nople saying that the anti-Sultan move- ment among the Softas (theological stu- dents) is growing. They have circulated another revolutionary proclamation. The dispatch adds that Nehmet Pasha, an imperial aid, was shot yesterday at the Yildiz palace on suspicion that he was implicated in the Young Turkey agi- tation. Persistent stories are in circulation to the effect that cartsloaded with corpses emerge at night from the Central Prison and hurry off in the direction of the Bos- phorus. These victims are supposed to be young Turks. French divers are refusing to work in the Bosphorus, owing to the horrible collection of corpses that they meet while pursuing their labors under water. ———— CARELESS, TO SAY THE LEAST. Arrest of County Clerk Knopf for Issuing Registration Certificates at Wholesale. CHICAGO, 11L., Oct. 12.—County Clerk Knopf was arrested this morning and taken before Judge Payne on a charge of indorsing fraudulent registration. The specific charge against Knopt is the issuance of over 2000 registra- tion certificates to minors without direct order from court or any recognized authority. The arrest caused cxcitement in political circles. Knopf was placed un- der $1000 bonds to appear before Judge Payne to-morrow morning and answer to’ a charge of malfeasance.. His arrest was made on affidavit of Morris Cohen, who is in charge of naturalization matters of the Democratic Central Committee. Fully 2000 final certificates of naturaliza- tion in blank, but bearing the clerk’s sig- nature and the official county court, are in the possession of the committee. The charge is made that the papers have been misused, but the opportunity for making citizens without the usual formal court proceedings is apparent. The certificates were found lying on a desk in the County Commissioners’ office, where Judge Woods had been holding a court of naturalization. Knopf admits having signed and sealed the papers, but simply for convenience, and says that such action is common practice. Knopf has been prominent in Republican politics for many years. I THE SUPBEME COUR, All the Justices Attend the Opening and Call Upon the President. One of the Most Important Decisions to Be Rendered Is in the Wright Irrigation Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12.—The Supreme Court of the United States met to-day at noon and opened the term of 1896-97. All the Justices were present. No business was transacted to-day save to re- ceive motions for admissions to the bar. When these were disposed of the court adjourned and called at the White House and paid tkeir respects to President Cleve- land. The distinguished Justices were accom- panied to the executive mansion by Attor- ney-General Harmon ana Solicitor-Gen- erai Conrad. Their greeting by the Presi- dent was cordial, but beyond interchange of vacation reminiscences and personal good wishes nothingz of public interest occurrea at the reception, On the succeeding days of the week the calendar will be cleared, but it is not ex- pected that any arguments will be heard until next week when the cases that have advanced for hearing will come up. There are fifty-four of these already assigned for place and the list will doubtless be in- creased upon motions to be made in the coming week. One of tne first announcements from the bench will be a decision in the Cali- fornia irrigation case, which was argued and submitted last March. In this case it will be remembered ex-President Harri- son appeared as counsel, and received $10,000 for his share in the case. The case involves the constitutionality of what is known as the Wright irriga- tion act of the California Legisiature. On this act bonds were issued by vari- ous corporations and syndicates engaged in irricating immense tracts of land, amounting to over $6,000,000 in the ag- gregate. As far as actual money is con- cerned it is the most important case which has been before the court for many years. The lower United States Court held that the irrigation bonds were unconstitutional. The stockbrokers of New York, Chicago and San Francisco, on information from Washington, have been making a number of deals in the bonds recently. TFortunes will be made and lost on the decision. iz b ey SPEAKS 10 WORKINGMEN, Ingersoll’s Reason for Objecting to Free Coinage of Silver. CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct.12.—Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll spoke to 12,000 workingmen in the stockyards district to-night. The speaker objected to the free coinage of silver becanse Englishmen could bring their silver bullion to this country and have it eoined into American dollars free of charge. He said the mine-owners would not be benefited by free coinage, because if the mints are opened to the world the bullion value of silyver will not be raised one-tenth of 1 per cent. ‘The only semblance of disorder was the prolonged bissing which greeted the speaker’s reference sarcastically to Gov- ernor Altgeld as Attorney-General in Bry- an’s Cabinet. —_—— WILL WATSON RETIREY It Is Sard His Rosignation Is Already in Butler’s Hands. CHICAGQ, Irx., Oct. 12.—A morning paper say: among politicians that Tom Watson, the nominee of the Populists for Vice-Presi- dent, will resign. 1t is believed that his resiznation is now in the hands of Chairman Butlerand that been called for this morning at 10:30. .

Cutler’s Democratic Arguments Are Logically Answered. PARTY PLATFORMS COMPARED. Senators Stewart and Jones as Accom- plices in the “Crime of 1873." SANTA ROSA, Carn., Oct. 12.—One of the largest audiences faced by a campaign speaker in California this yeer greeted Colonel T. V. Eddy in the Atheneum here to-night. As it had been extensively advertised that Colonel Eddy would an- swer some of the statements of F. A. Cut- ler on Saturday night, the audience was largely composed of the people who had listened to the speech of Mr. Cutler and the comparisons drawn by the speaker were readily understood and loudly ap- plauded. The meeting was called to order by Major O, Fountain, chairman of the Mec- Kinley and Hobart Club of Santa Rosa, who introduced O. O. Weber as presiding officer. Mr. Weber made a short and ap- propriate opening speech, and amid loud and prolong cheering introduced Colonel Eddy. The speaker said that the magnificent audience before him was a type of the audiences that were gathering all over the land, and that there must be some profound reason for such gatherings; the veople must be apprehensive of some great evil that might come upon the land. He then pointed out the evil that might come. He compared the two great party platforms, showing the grave dangers that could arise from an assault upon the highest tribural of the land; how the avowea policy or the Democrats was to reconsiruct the Supreme Court, to pass a law already declared unconstitutional by the hignest court in the land. He ex- ploded the well-worn arguments of the silverites that silver was the money of the constitution by reaum§ the passage in that instrument upon the subject. Eulogizing Senator John Sherman, Colo- nel Eddy read a list of those who voted in Congress to stop tbe colnage of silver dol- lars and proved that John Sherman voted against the bill, while Senators Stewart and Jones not only voted in favor of the allegea ‘“‘erime of 1873’ but in 1874 both ‘xinm;a speeches in favor of the gold stan- ard. Colonel Eddy spoke for nearly three hours, the interest and enthusiasm grow- ing more intense as he proceeded, and when he finally pointed to the draped pic- ture of William McKinley it needed no words from the speaker to start the 2000 people present into & wiid demonstration of delight. Several times during the early part of ihe meeting the speaker was interrupted by remarks from the audience, but he turned the laugh upon the interrapter Lach time with quick-witted answers that created unbounded amusement in the an- dience and completely discomfited the seeker alter knowledge. At the close of this unusual meeting a patriotic woman in the audience arose to her foet, waving the American flag in her hand, and proposed three cheers for the Republican party, which were given with a will. T — LUS ANGELES ¥KUSION, Democrats and Populists Complete Their City Ticket. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 12.—The city Democrats and Populists completed their work to-day on a fusion basis, after much wrangling and disorder and many expres- sions of distrust in botH® conventions.

Tulare sent over a special train of six cars filled with enthusiastic Popoerats. The Tulare band accompanied the excur- sionists and with the Visalia band sup- plied plenty of music. D. M. Adams, president of the Visalia Bryon Club, called the meeting to order and introduced Judge N. O. Bradley as chairman. The Judge delivered a short introductory soveech and read a list of seventy-five vice-presidents who had been previously informed of their selection ?nd already occupied seats on the plat- jorm.. Senator White was in good voice and for nearly two hours he discussed the issues of the cnmmifin. devoting himself prin- cipally to the silver question. At the con- clusion of the speech the meeting was ad- journed with three cheers for Bryan. Benator White was entertained at the Palace Hotel aiter the speaking. There a banquet was served, to which about twenty gentlemen were invited. The Senator speaks to-morrow afternoon at Lemoore and in the evening at Haniord. SR CUTLER AT HEALDSBURG. Touchas Lightly on the Turiff in' His Political Address. HEALDSBURG, Caw, Oct. 12.—Twelve It is confidently predicted | hundred Healdsburgers crowded into Truitts’ Opera-house to-night to listen to Fietcher A. Cutler, Democratic and Popu- list candidate for Congress in the First District, discuss the political issues of the day . £ The hall had been tastefully decorated and the fusionists spared nothing to make this the big demonstration of the cam- paign. The m«fing was called toorder by J. J. Livernash and H. H. Pyne pre- Sl Mr. Cutler devoted himself almost en- tirely to a discussion of the financial ques- tion, and said that free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 would be a ea for all our ills. He touched the tariff, handling this subject with gloves, and said it was not aun issue in the campaign. He declared himself against any and all funding bills, and said he was in favor of the Nicaragua canal. The work of the campaign is telling on him and he appeared to disadvantage to-night. AN I BAKERSFIELD’S CAMPAIGN, Congressman Schoonmaker Speaks at a Republican Meeting. BAKERSFIELD, Car., Oct. 12.—Local Republicans heid a 1arge meeting here this evening, at which Congressman Schoonmaker of New Jersey was the prin- cipal speaker, Chairman Scott of the County Com- mittee opened the meeting with a short speech, in which he paid his respects to Senator White, who spoke here Saturday night. 8. N. Reed, who vre- sided over the assemblage, followed with a short speech snd then introduced Mr. Schoonmaker, who spoke for an hour and was frequently interrupted by applause. He took the ground that the tariff was the leading question of the campaign, and | that free silver was not the remedy for the troubles which afflicted the country.
