OLD RIVALS MEET AGAIN Carroll Had Mac Going : In the Tl.lri Itouml , bat "VVus Unublo to Follow Un the Gnlt General Opinion Among : Sporting : Men That Moth Have Outlived Their Reputations. Sax Fuaxcisco , Nov. 23. Jacli McAulift' , the lightweight champioi : pugilist of the world , and Jimmy Car roll , his old-time rival , and three times his antagonist in the ring for thai honor , met last night before St. Georges club in a ten-round bout tc forever settle the question of superior ity. In all their previous battles Me- Auliffe has been the victor , though never without a hard fight. 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. IcAuliffe was also in good condition. Five thousand people ple witnessed the fight. Betting on the fight has been quite brisk , with IcAuliife ruling slightly favorite at odds of S'J to S10 , 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 he got Carroll in a tight place , after one of these rushes , he dropped his bauds 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 , lleferee 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.

MUST DO SOMETHING SPAIN IS CROWING TIRED OF GEN. WEYLER. There Must be Quick Action or He "Will III Kecalled Hopes to Score a Decider Victory Before Congreiw Meet * Presi dent Cleveland's Action Depends Mucl Upon Events of the Next Two Weeks. Spain Tiring of Weyler. Washixgtox , Nov. 18. It is learned here on authority that the Spanish government has given General Weyler to understand that he must push his operations against the insurgents ag gressively and vigorously. Unless he soon achieves a decisive victo ' over the Cubans it is believed he will be re called. General Weyler , it is tinder- stood , is aware of the alternative and his present campaign in Pinar del Rio is expected to result in an engagement that will put a new aspect on the Cuban situation one way or the other. General Weyler has all the troops that he can use. There are over 200 , - 000 Spanish soldiers in Cuba and the force under the captain general in his present operations in the field in per son is over 00,000 men. Maceo , against whom he is now operating , has under him , it is estimated , about 7,000 men. Spain having fulfilled all of Genei'al Weyler ' s wishes as to troops , now ex pects results from him. Consul Gen eral Lee has acquainted the adminis tration with these facts and the Presi dent is at present simply awaiting events and will shape his course by the developments. It is the hope of General Weyler that he will be able to score a decided vic tory before the assembling of congress , December 7. Spain fears adverse ac tion by that body soon after it meets and has urged General Weyler to dem onstrate his ability to crush the rebel lion within the next two weeks , if pos sible. UNCLESAM'S UNEMPLOYED Eleventh Census Labor Statistics Mil lions Without Work. Washixgtox , Nov. IS. Hon. Carroll D. Wright , commissioner of labor , in charge of the eleventh census , has transmitted to the secretary of the in terior a special report on the statistics of occupations. The most interesting feature of the report relates to the qnestion of the unemployed. Similar data relative to the unemployed were collected at the census of 1880. but were not compiled , 30 this is the first time in the federal census that information of this char- lcter has been presented in connection ivith the statistics of occupations. There were 2.i,73r , ( j61 persons 10 pears of age and over engaged in gain ful occupations in 1890 , of whom 1S , - 521,090 were males and 3.9I4.57L fe- nalcs. Of these , 3.013.117 males and 10G13 females , or a total of 3.f 23,730 icrsons. were unemployed at their prin cipal occupations during some part of ; he census year ending May 31. 1890. Of the whole number of persons so memployed , JS1S,8(55 ( were uni'in- iloyed from one to three months , . .318,313 from four to six months and 13(5.447 ( from seven to twelve months. L'his is equivalent , approximately , to ,139,072 persons unemployed at their irincipal occupations for the entire welve months , and this number would epresent 5.01 per cent of the total lumber of persons engaged in gainful iccupations in 1390 Divided as to s x , the approximate lumber of males unemployed at their • rincipal occupation for the entire ensus year was 972.000 , representing .10 per cent of the whole number of aales at work , while the approximate mmber of females unemployed at their irincipal occupations during the same period was 107.072 , representing 4.2S > er cent of the whole number of fe- lalcs at work. VEYLER NOT DOING WELL. he Spanish Captain General May Ho Outwitted by the Rebels. IIavaxa , Nov. IS. No news , official r otherwise , is obtainable here con- erning the movements of Captain eneral Weyler and his army now in ursuit of the insurgent forces under ntonio Maceo in the province of inar Del Rio , and the insurgents are irculating reports of Spanish defeats , here seems to be ground for the be ef that the captain general has not tet with the success he anticipated. It is no longer denied that the in- irgents have captured the two quite nportant towns of Cascorro and Guai- lara. in Puerto Principe. As intimated > me time ago , there is no doubt that a insurgent army of about 10.000 men advancing upon the city of Puerto rincipe. capital of the province of lat name.
