The humiliation of thoTVllllorb came today

wan had scored , there were two out ana
Ihroo on hnsos , when Koach caught one of
Duke's twisters on the end of his bat and
dropped It over the right Held fcnco , the
four men trotting homo.
The farmers did not fccoro nftcr this , but
they had done enough to win the game.
Minneapolis did a llttlo hitting In the sixth
mid seventh , and with errors by Raymond
nnd Toninoy got thrco men nrouiut.
A leading feature of the gaino was the
great pltehlng of Duke , who held the visitors
down to live hits. Ho was wild , however , at
times , giving a total of eight bases on balls.
Superb stops and throws were tnado by Shu-
part and Tormioy. and somn great outfield
catches were nmiio by McQuald , liurkcttaud

SAN FJUHCISCO , CaL , May 2i , The Cor-
bctt-Jackson Jlght last night resulted unsat-
factorlly. Koforos Cook's decision "no contest -
test , " was generally accepted as equivalent
to a draw decision. Both meu were thoti so
weak that It was plain to every ono they
could not bo expected to strike on offfetlvo
blow If they remained. In Iho ring till day
light The llrst half of the contest was the
most scientific contest overseen on the Pa-
clllo coast , but tuo last thirty rounds were
simply walk orounds. In the last few
rounds JacKson staggered round tbo rlntr nnd
Corbett was In but llttlo better condition.
Botti men wcro heartily cheered at the con
clusion ot tlio fight.
The referee's decision Is In effect that the
club had seen no battle niul.was In no sense ,
therefore , Indebted to the pugilists for tbolr

Mr. Peterson and Mr. Walker bad a prlzo
ficht at South Omaha last , night. _ It was a

didn't do It. Ho did hit Mr , Peterson rx
snolllgostor on the prolweU , however , and
the sight of the cochineal , that followed the
collision , scared Mr. Peterson Into conniption
fits. But ho wouldn't glvo up , and the con

Attachments were taken out tills morning
iigalusttho Bradford mills , of which City
Treasurer Bardsloyjis owner , by two of his
sureties. Bardslo'y has made an assignment
of all bis property for the benefit of the city.
Mr. Dnrddloy made the following state
ment thlb morning In ruforeneo to the Clamor
loto , found nmong the asseti of the ICoy-
itono bank , which 3. J. Clamor believes to
bo a forgery : "Somo years ago E. J. Clamor
"induced mu to io Into the brass foundry busi
ness for the purpose of assisting htm. Tbo
linn name was K. J. Clamor & Co. , mynelf
being the company. 1 was to furnish the
capital and to sign all notes , checks nnd
other papers. During the progress bl the
business It was necessary to issue notes upon
which to r.ilso money , which was done in n
iiumbcr ' of instances. The business not prov-
'ngprofitabloorsatisfactory.lt was discou-
Jnuod and sold out. The firm never was
dissolved. As the notes fell duo I paid them ,
ns 1 was rostionslblo for all tlio debts of the
firm. Under the agreement It was not the
duty of Mr. Clamor to sign either notes or
checks , mid , to my knowledge , he never did
sign any. "
The clearing house duo bills issued by the
iCoy.stono National bank and given to Mr.
Bardsloy at the various times tliat the
$ , ' 500,000 of state moneys were deposited are
not worth the paper they arc written on
unless the nssota of the bank include moro
than the deposits ns shown by the ledger.
Tbcso duo bills nro issued by the banks be
longing to the Philadelphia Clearing House
association for the accommodation of
depositors. In Now York certified checks
aroused by the banks , but In this city , when
a. depositor desires it , a duo bill Is Issued by a
bank , the bill being signed by ono of the
tellers aim couuteraignod by ono of the
officers of the bank ; These bills caq bo deposited -
posited In any bank , nnd at the vtcdring
house sotUomont tha nnxt , day , if Iho issuing
banks has a credit , the amount of the duo
bill Is deducted. If Mr. Bard-sloy , when ho
received the clearing house dlio bills , from the
'Coystono bank , bad immediately deposited
them tlio bills would have been presented
nt the clearing house the next morning and if
the Koyslono bank had boon u creditor
to the amount of the bills they would have
been paid , but this process would , of course ,
have boon simply n withdrawal of the money
deposited by Mr. Bardsloy in the bank. Mr.
Burdsley knew or Hhould have known that
by Keeping the duo bills ho wits simply
speculating upon the solvency of the Keystone -
stone Nntloca'l bank. The bank is not nt
this tlmo n creditor at the clearing house to
the amount of the duo bill now hold by Mr.
Bardsloy and they are therefore worthless.
They are simply an obligation on the part of
the bank to pay the face value 'of tbo bills
and amount to nothing moro than ordinary
promlssury notos. The bills hold by Mr.
Bardsloy nro in effect promissory notes of
the ICoystono bank and cannot bo paid unless
the assets yield moro than the deposits.
At the edicts of the United States marshal
it was stated this afternoon that the rumor
that the absconded president of the ICeystono
bank has been arrested In Montreal had
been investigated and found to bo without
foundation.

which Jailed yesterday , nro now given as
SGOO.OOO Instead of $100,000 , the first figures.
The assets delivered to the assignee uy the
terms of the assignment amount to $300,000.
Lewis Hill , n member of the firm , denies
that the failure of the Davis company of
Lynn , Mass. , involving the Hill company for
6200,000 , brought about the failure. Ho says
bad crops , poor collections and the stringent
money market are tbo principal cauxos.
The funeral services of William Vllas Hill ,

committed suiciao immediately after the
assignment , will tnko place tomorrow.

directly duo to the failure of the Davis

COMING CHICAGO AND ALTON HEARING.
No IilUlo Interest jrimlfefltctl In Jlnll-

Manipulations.
KANSAS Citr , Mo. , May 23. Tireless nnd
energetic persistence on the part of tbo Colo-
raao lines , supplemented by 'tho energies of
Denver's merchants and business organiza
tions , has at last secured from the Trans-
Missouri Passenger association the coveted
$2. > tourist rate from the Missouri river to
Denver and return , The nssoclatlon has
been In session hero slnco Wednesday nnd
this tourist rate was about the only business
that was not easily disposed of. The Inter
changeable mlieago ticket was adopted with
out much trouble and the rules of the nsso-
"elation , provided for In the president's ngrei-
mont , were agreed to as a whole nftoc only n
brief discussion.
Then came the tourist rate. Considerable
of that matter began yesterday morning , nnd
when the nssoclatlon adjourned for the day It
was generally understood that the rate
would not bo granted.
This morning when the nssodatior. con
vened Chairman Smith throw a bombshell
Into the meeting when lie presented the reso
lution of the Trans-Missouri congress , which
had been sent to him by telegraph from Den
ver. The bombshell shattered practically nil
opposition to the rate. What llttlo opposi
tion remained was overcome by the knowl
edge that the Denver people would carry the
matter ever the heads of the Trans-Missouri
association nnd into the Western association
unless their demands were granted. When
the matter finally came to an Issue the vote
was unanimous in favor of the rato. Thus
tourists can travel from the Missouri river to
Colorado points and back again for $35 , a re
duction of $1 from the old rate.
Chicago & Alloii'n Hearing.
CHICAGO , May 'J2. No llttlo Interest Is
manifested In the hearing that will bo given
, ho Chicago & .Alton management tomorrow
iy Chairman Flnloy In answer to the charge
-hat - It has violated the agreement of the
iVestern Passenger association In refusing to
.dvanco rates from Kansas City to St. Louis
.nd from St. Louis to Chicago. The Alton
, vlll not not bo represented nt the mooting by
ny of Its officers. A written argument has
jcon prepared by the general manager nnd
ilacod in Mr. Finloy's handsund , this const-
utcs the only answer the Alton people have to
, nalu to tbo accusation that it has acted in
bad faith. This argument simply reiterates
bo claim heretofore made by Mr. Charloton
.bat the chalrm'nh ' has no authority to order
an advance in raq4. { It holds that no ad
ance can be ma'do , without the unanimous
consent of all the lines intcrejted. This is
not disputed. ' i
It happens , howeVer , thutChalrman Finloy
did not order tho' rates to bo advanced.
iVhat ho did wds'tij withdraw the reduced
rate which ho' , had previously authorized.
Some tlmo agoi when passenger rates from
St. Louts to Chicago were manipulated by
ho Jacksonville- & Southeastern through
calpors' offices' , Iho chairman pave other
lines nuthority'ti 'meet the competition by
reducing their rat9 from ? T.r > 0 to $ i.H ! > . Tlio
cause for this Deduction has boon removed.
Mr. Finloy named May 15 ns the day on
ivhich tbo reduced'lfate would bo withdrawn.
n the meantime tbo eastern roads bad in
augurated a boycott , aznlnst the Alton ana
'or some reason , the latter company refused
o restore rates. ' ; * JMicllii not ask and obtain
relief on account nthe' disadvantage it was
placed under by'tho ' action of Its eastern con
nections , but disputed the chairman's right
lo multo a ruling , the effect of which , if
iboyed , would bo n restoration of former
ales. The Alton's management and Chair
man Finloy are both firm in their convic
tions , nnd It Is feared that the dispute will
result In ono or the other withdrawing.
NOT A I'OPULAU IIULISO.
It would bo Difficult to ilnd a trafllo official
of any western road who does not object to
.ho . ruling of the board of commissioners of
.ho Western Traffic association that tbo pub-
Uhod tariffs of through westbound traffic
nust bo maintained , although some of its
eastern connections privately quote a lower
rato. It is probable that someone will appeal
from the decision of the commissioners nnd
take the matter before the advisory board.
lUAT-nouxn KVTI : MANIPULATIO .
Suspicion is just now directed at the Chicago
cage & Krio road because it has suddenly
secured the dressed beef business of Swill &
Co. , whoso business heretofore has boon given
to the Michigan Central. There is no evi
dence that the Chicago & Erie Is cutting
rates beyond this unexpected diversion of
traffic , but in the present unsettled condition
of affairs the eastern roads do not need much
evidence to roach the conclusion that their
neighbors are taking advantage of them.
The east-bound freight .situation Is rapidly
becoming a go-as-you-plonso race.
TO INSl'KCT TJIE HOCK ISLAND.
President Cnblo and the board of directors
of the Kock Ishmd will leave here Sunday
night for the west , their object being to
make n careful inspection of nil the lines of
the system prior to the annual mooting of the
stockholders to bo hold In this city Juno .

lCANS\3Crrr , Mo.May 23. General Manager * -
ager Hayes of the Wabasb and his staff of
officials are Inspecting the Omaha & St.
Louis road today. Information rocolvoa this
morning Is to the effect that the Wnbash will
buy tbo road and negotiations are already
on. The Omaha Ac St. Louis runs
from Pattonsburg to Council Bluffs , n
distance of 1-Vi miles. The rend was for
merly operated by the Wabasb , but was cut
off by the bondholders nt the reorganization.
Since then it bus been operated ns nn Inde
pendent line , although the Wnbash ontinucd
running Its trains ever the road Int o Council
Bluffs. Uecontly the railroad commission
ers condemned the road ns unsafe , and in
stead of rebuilding it the owners offered it to
the Wabasb. The deal will probably bo
closed after Cienoral Manager Hayes returns.

irovos most that has boon found In the bus-

mi tteo of last year seemed most needed , and
HOU of them had been adopted. It recom
mended that no publishing outfit bo nt pres

Hatley B. Morse of Colorado supported tbo
minority report. Ho opened with a review of
land legislation In congress. Publlo lands
were boiur ; goblod by railroads , wjilch In their
rnmtclty were also scixlnir mineral lands.
The proposition to cedoarid lauds to the state
originated with Denver real o.itato men. Ho
wanted the general government to control
and irrigate these lands which were menaced
liv Ininl amtj'iiltitnra
Hardy of Utah spoke In favor of ceding the
lands.
Judge Belford of Colorado nrostf to speak
on the question. Ho urged the utilisation of
western waters by storing tbo moisture in
stead of allowing it to How Idly by and
Jeopardize llvos nnd property on its way to-
the sea. Colorado real estate men wanted
tbo government to plvo 12,000,000 acres to
the state. Half of this would bo given ton
corporation for the purpose of making im
provements , Fifty million dollars in bonds
would bo issued and n monopoly established
to control a domain greater than half of tlio
Now England states.
Senator Warren of Wyoming said there
could bo no injustice to the middle or eastern .
states in asking for the coiling of arid lands.
Those lands were worthless , but susceptible
to cultivation. The question was whether
state or government should do the work of
reclamation. In the majority report it was
expressly stipulated that corporations bo ex
cluded from nil boncllts of the proposed leg-
tslation. Congress could bo trusted with the
Interests of IUs constituents , An npproprl-
ation of ft'0,000,000 would bo required to
reclaim those arid lands and they never could
hope for such nn appropriation from tlio
national government.
The debate clojo ' and n vote was taken on
the amendment eiTered by Texas. The
amendment was withdrawn and the substi
tute for the minority report was lost. Tha
question recurred on tbo minority report ,
which was defeated by n vast majority.
