Carroll Had Mac Going In the Third Round, bat Was Unable to Follow I'p the Galt—General Opinion Among Sporting Men That Hoth Have Outlived Their Reputations. Ran Francisco, Nov. 23. — Jack McAuliffe, the lightweight champion pugilist of the world, and Jimmy Car roll, his old-time rival, and three times his antagonist in the ring for that honor, met last night before St. George's club in a ten-round bout to forever settle the question of superior ity. In all their previous battles Mc Auliffe has been the victor, though never without a hard tight. Although Carroll has passed his 40th year, he is a well preserved man, and has trained long and faithfully for this, perhaps his last fight, and was in prime condition. McAuliffe was also in good condition. Five thousand peo ple witnessed the fight. Uctting on the fight has been quite brisk, with McAuliffe ruling slightly favorite at odds of 80 to 810, though considerable money changed hands at “even.” At the beginning ot the fight Mc Auliffe adopted rushing tactics, forc ing his opponent to the ropes repeated ly. but the pace was too hot to last, and at the end of the third round he had bellows to mend. From that time on until the last round his blows lacked steam, and it was noticeable that whenever ho got Carroll in a tight place, after one of these rushes, he dropped his hands and retreated to the center of the ring. The men frequent ly indulged in conversation during the last few rounds, but in such low tones as to be inaudible to those at the ring side. The consensus of opinion was that both men had outlived their repu tation as fighters, and that they had agreed to make it appear a genuine fight, but to avoid a knockout. The last round was a series of clinches, neither striking an effective blow, although frequent openings oc curred. Referee Armstrong gave the decision to McAuliffe. The audience was not entirely satisfied with the manner in which the men fought the last round, but the decision seemed to meet the approval of the majority. REVIEW OF TRADE. (>Hin in Volume of Business Continue■> Without Precedent. Nkw York, Nov. 53.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review say si The gain in volume of business continues entirely without precedent. More than 390 es tablishments have started work since the election, which were idle, and at least 300 have increased working force, making 690 concerns which are known to have added largely to the number of hands at work, and those are only part of the whole number. Kvery day thus adds thousands to the number of those who are able to buy a week's supply of provisions and to make up gradually for many months of enforced economy. Already this brings a great increase in the volume of business and the clear ing house figures, for the first time in several years, not only exceed those of last year by 10 per cent, but also exceed those of the same week in 1895 by 9 per cent. "Failures for the week have been 344 in the United States against 330 last year, and 40 in Canada against 13 last year.” South Dakota Still in Doubt. Yankton, S.

HOW ABBUCKLE DIED. POLICE CERTAIN HE WES DRUG GED TO DEATH. Detective* Believe That the Denver Dem ocratic Leader and Business Man Waa Killed by FoUon Used by Robber*— Not Slain by Footpad*—A Chemist An alyzing the Stomach. His Death Not Accidental. New York, Nov. 21.—The police of this city are confident that Frank P. Arbuckle, chairman of the Colorado Democratic committee, receiver of the D nver land office and leading business om of Denver, who was found dying in weeds on a vacant lot near the end of the “L” railroad, was drugged and robbed and then wandered in a daze to where he was found and died from the effects of the poison administered to him Four arrests have been made so far. The first was Frank P. Butler, a negro hostler and ex-convict. Then came George Stevens, a saloonkeeper; Jo seph Davidson, a stenographer, and Frederick Menger, a bartender. The three latter are said to have been with Arbuckle on the night before his death. The investigation of the detectives showed that Wednesday evening Arbuckle was in Luchow's saloon at Fourteenth street and Irving place with three men. Stevens at first denied having been in Luchow’s saloon with Arbuckle, but as he was talking to Captain O’Brien a detective walked in with Davidson. The latter at once recognized Stevens and said to him: “Hello, are you here in this case, too?” Stevens seemed nettled when this re mark was made to him. When Davidson was searched one of Mr. Arbuckle's cards was found. He. admitted having met Arbuckle Wednes day night, and had arranged a meet ing for to-day. This was why Sir. Arbuckle had given him his card, he said. After this story was told another de tective walked in with the prisoner Menger. All three then admitted having seen Arbuckle in Luchow's sa loon on Wednesday night. They denied however, having gone up town with him. Menger said that Stevens was trying to get Arbuckle to go to Harlem with him “to go against a brace gambl ing game.” He did not know whether Stevens had succeeded in getting Ar buckle away. The detectives are now looking for a man known as “Sheeny Sam,” who bears an unsavory reputation and whose haunts are in East Fourteenth street. The detectives have learned that he was also in the crowd accomp anying Arbuckle while he was in Luchow’s saloon. Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon per formed an autopsy on the body of Frank P. Arbuckle, and told the news paper men that the abrasion on the head was caused by the fall of the body. No fracture or indentation of the skull was found nor were there any marks of violence on the body. The stomach and intestines were badly swollen and they were sent to Chemist Witthauer for microscopical examina tion Professor Witthaus, the chemist, is making a microscopical analysis of the stomach of the dead man and has not yet made any report to the coroner’s office. AGENT WISDOM’S REPORT. He Says that tlin Indians are Slaking Good Progress, Washington, Nov. 21.—Good' effects from the recent elections in the Chick asaw and Choctaw Indian nations in the Indian territory, which resulted favorably to the friends of allotment, are predicted in the annual report made to the Indian bureau by Agent Wisdom, in charge of Union agency. He says that the results cannot do otherwise than materially affect public sentiment in the other tribes, all of them having heretofore stood solid against the allotment of their lands. A similar result, it is predicted, would be obtained in the Cherokee Na tion if a fair vote could be had and the full-bloods allowed to express their true sentiments and wishes at the polls. The agent says many people of the Indian territory, both citizens and non-citizens, now advocate the elec tion of a delegate to Congress who could explain existing conditions and secure remedial legislation. The ques tion will doubtless be presented to the next Congress. ( The report arraigns the action of past Congresses in the following con clusion: “Notoriously, much of the legislation in behalf of the Indian country has been controlled by mem bers of Congress from the states on its borders, and it is not saying too much to state that selfish interests have swayed some of said members. «and such legislation has been enacted that rather promoted the interests of them selves or the:r friends than the Indians whom they ostensibly proposed to bene fit. The Congress, as a whole, either does not understand the Indian ques tion. or is indifferent to it, and hence much of the legislation affecting this oountry is practically in the hands of a few men who are not always wise in their day and generation. The elec tion of a delegate would be much cheaper and more economical for the • Indians themselves and would not re quire them to send from each tribe large delegations to secure such legis lation as they think they need ana to prevent such legislation as they do not want. It is anomalous that 300.000 people should live in a republican gov ernment without representation in our national forum.” BIG PLATFORM GIVES WAY. Thirty People,' 3,000 Bales of Cotton and Tons of Timber Go Down. Macon, Ga., Nov. 31.—Thirty people, 3,000 bales of cotton and hundreds of tons of heavy timber all went down in one loud crash at 7:30 o'clock last night at the Central railroad compress in this city.

GEN. MERRITT’S REPORT. No Military Operation Daring the Tear —Drill Hall* Asked For. Washington, Nov. 21.— The rerw^Atf Major General Merritt, commander^SP, the department of Missouri, headquarjV' ters at Chicago, says that the year has ' been singularly free from military op erations and the frontiers have enjoyed peace and quiet. The troops have been engaged in perfecting themselves in: drill tactics and gymnastics and! have made great progress. He adds: “I earnestly recommend that at each post where cavalry is likely to be sta tioned a riding hall be constructed on. the general plan of those at Forts Riley and Leavenworth. They are not expensive, and the benefit which results from their use in winter and other times to men and officers mor ally, physically and professionally Is so great that cost of construction should not be considered. In this con nection, I especially call attention to the necessity for drill halls at all per manent infantrv nosts."’ MRS. DAVIS RECEIVES.
