THE OMAHA DAILY ME : TUESDAY , JULY 9 , 1889. _ Ivan had broken ono ot the bones of his * right nrm between the wrist nnd the elbow In n Dp.t with Patsy Cardift at Minneapolis pn the 18th of the preceding .Tnnurfry. The Injured member had bo n sot nnd healed , 'tis true , but owlncr to intilformntlon bad to bo robrokcn nnd reset , So wltcn Kilrnln Issued this challenge Sullivan wns carrying his for- tnldablo right Incased In plaster of jmrls. Jako's last flght was with tbo Urltlsli champion , Jem Smith , which took place on the Isle nt St. Pierre' , Trance. December 10 , 1870. One hundred and six rounds were fought without cither man gaining nn ad vantage , nnd darkness sottlnij in hostilities ceased. Next day the men wcro to rosurao fighting , but through thn Intercession of mutual friends the flght wus declared n draw. The actual lighting time was two hears and thirty-one minutes. That was Jako'H last fight up to the present battle with Sullivan. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Excitement In Omnha. As early as 8 o'clock yesterday morning the streets presented n sccno of unparalleled ox- cltemcntnnd activity. It looked llltu gome notable holiday or presidential election tlmo. Tho.strcot comOrs were crowded with men , Vrhllo llttlo knots of excited pcoplo were scon lioro , there nnd everywhere. Of course the ono topic oi conversation was the great Sul- llvnn-lCirraln flght. The pool rooms , espe cially the Diamond , was n solid moss of excited - cited men , who crowned nnd Jostled each other in their eagerness to got within good oyoiliht ; of tha blackboard. For a while the betting was qulto spirited , with odds of 3 to 1 on Sullivan. The first tblntr la the shape ot news came nbout 0 o'clock being n dispatch from Now Orleans , that Sullivan knocked his man out. and shattered his jaw , In eight rounds. Tills news was greeted by loud cheers , Tor hero in Omaha , In sporting circles nt least , John L. is a universal favorite. Of course this tele gram , owing to the meagre telegraphic facil ities , was received with a good deal of allowance , but the general disposition was to glvo It full credence. The telegraphic ofllccs were boslogcd all morning , but noth ing authentio was received. There was no abatement in tha lively In terest manifest on the streets until late In the nftornoon , when thn telegram announcing that Kllruln had boon knocked out in the seventy-second , round received what wan considered full confir mation. This news was received at the Diamond , which remained crowded , with anx ious , excited men throughout the entire day , with every manifestation of satisfaction. Whllo there was comparatively llttlo money laid upon the result of the battle , every man acted as If ho had a vital Interest In its out come , and had Kllraln won there is no doubt but what the keenest kind of disappointment would have been felt by n largo majority of these waiting for the news. Dcsplto Sul livan's reputation as a brute and a bally , the American pcoplo scorn to look npon him as their Ideal exponent of pugilism , and their faith was unswervingly pinned to his colors. Kllrnln'a questionable claim upon the championship , tlio senseless and un just attacks of bis mentor and hacker , Klch ard 1C. Fox , upon John L- > . during tbc long days of his sickness , Imbued the pcoplo with nn Incontrovertible dislike for the Baltimore boy. nnd fully nine out of every ton honest lovers of the art of solf-defenso longed nud prayed for his defeat. Kilraln's hobnobbing \vltk Charlie Mitchell aud ether English pugilists , to the detriment ot his brother sluggers on this side of the pond , also had much to do with Jako's unnopularity. That bo stands the peer of any prize lighter whoever over stopped into the ring , so far as decency , Kcntlemanllucss and respectability goes , no out ) will gainsay. But the short-haired fra ternity Is a urcttv tough sot of mugs all through , and the claims of the best of them , upon respectability are meagre indeed. FOUGHT FIFTY-TWO HOUNDS.

[ Special Telegram to TUB Unu.l Ono of the most peculiarly con tested prize lights that has taken place near Now Vork lor years was decided at an early hour ycstor.day morning at n resort up the Hudson. The match was between Nick Collins and Harry Quluu , of this city , nod it lusted llfty-two ronnds , occupying thrco hours and twenty-seven minutes. Tbo last twenty-nine rounds wore devoid of hard hit ting with the exception of a few heavy blows. It was declared a draw and tha k purse of $140 was divided. After the twenty- III third round Collins appeared to bo sick at the stomach from the continual jabbing of Qulnn's loft band on that portion of his tody. His left eye was puffed and the whole sldo of his face wan badly swollen. His nook bora knots from the pun- ishmeiit bo received. Qulnn , who did all the leading , was a terrible Right , his fnco being cut and bruised from chin to forehead. Under each eye there appeared a lump the size of an egg , from which a small stream of bloud trickled down his breast. There wore cuts from the terrible drubbing ho received. Ho bled profusely from , the none , and the sawdust was bespattered with blood. The match was to have taken place last Wcdncs day evening , but owing to tlio failure in pro curing the battle ground It was postponed. A boat was lured oa Saturday night , and by it some sixty men wora convoyed to a danc ing platform on the Now Jersey shore. The men stripped In the open air and were soon within the ring , which was built by a stout strip of rope stretched about four jwsts r ; Cainii Btools wcro placed in the two.corners for the men to sit upon. * TRIFLE TUAOEDY.

Although the heat of summer U ut Us height , Wajblugton is yet full of people who came early in March and are still hanging on In the hope of final reward. Kowibllciin con gressmen who ordinarily would have pone away for the summer long ago are still kept hero by the Importunities of their ofllctvsook- ing constituents , which reach them by each mail , nnd cabinet ofllccrs have boon com pelled to eloso their doors and see callers only by card , because the crowds of place hunters loft them no time to attend to public business. Secretary Wlndotn ban grown weary of hearing the same old story , day after day , from the Bimo people , and now ho proposes to deny himself to visit ors except upon the presentation of vhitlng cards. Mr. Wlndom has probably given up moro of bis ttmo to the ofilco seekers than any other member of the cabinet slnco the advent of the present administration , and In the mcantlino the routine work of thodepjirt- mcnt has continued to accumulate to on alarming degree. The clerks In the appoint ment division soy that thoy.havo not bad suf ficient work because they have boon waiting instructions from the accretary. On the other hand the secretary says , ho has not had time to look tate the merits of many of the * pending cases bocatuo so much of bis time is taken up listening to the ap peals of place hunters. Secretary Wlndom's room Is a delightful retreat for the hungry patriots who got the cold shoulder else where , and it is not unusual to sea the same persons thora daily sitting : around in tha com fortable chairs , drinking copiously of ice water from the silver service near the door. They Invariably ask the same question , and usually receive the same answer , but they * liow up again next day und consume from four to five hours of the secretary's tlmo that might bo devoted -disposing of the very cases the Importuning- applicants are Individunllv-Intcrastcd In.

Secretary Wlndom , accompanied by a clerical-looking gentleman whoso smooth- shaven fuco showed him to bo a member of the clergy , had a lengthy conference with the president , the two being the iirsl callers of the day. Although it Li tha day upon which the. president usually denies himself to visitors , he made an exception In the case of the clergyman , who was Archbishop Ire land , one of the most distinguished prelates of the Roman Catholic church. "While 1 was In the east , " said the arch bishop , "I thought I would call at the white house and ( ret acquainted with the new chief magistrate. Through tha courtesy of Secretary Windom nn Interview has been accorded mo , in the course of which I gave thu president my views on matters pertain ing to the condition of the Indian schools , in whicn I am very much Interested.

The Knights of Labor made an attack upon the steam presses and got a bill through congress cutting dowu the royalty to bo p.ud to the patentees uf the presses from SI to 1 cent per 1,000 Impressions. Secretary Windom assumes that by taking this action congress intended that the steam presses should bo done away with , and has governed himself accordingly , although ho has not yet decided what permanent action to take.

Bnu.J There N great Joy In the prohibition camp In the stnto ot South Dakota. It Is hold now by tha loaders that slxty-throo of the seventy-five delegates to the convention hav > > pledged themselves to support the prohibition amendment at the polls In October , and that tlio movement bns gotten go far ahead of the suloon element that it cannot bo overtaken. The city is thronged with prohibition workers from every part of the territory , common laborers in the vineyard , professional leoturors , minstrels and representatives of every grade of tlio party. So far there Is no disposition shown to mix politics v.'Ith this question , nnd prohibition for once , at least , Is to enter the aruna with Hi opponent * and have n fair contest for su- Dromasy. Mass-meetings nro hold every day nnd night aud the excitement Is high. The are hcglnlng to show the depths of their bitterness , and to do it In a violent way. .Tlio shower of cpgs which foil upon the prohibition meeting the other night from cmlsnrlos located In the dark behind a wall , was only the Inauguration or the Indig nities. Every conceivable effort is being mndn to frustrate the work. So far no move has been made by any of the prohibition del egates In the constitutional convention to force their doctrines. They secured the chief clerkship m the orvanUn- tlon , but that was u recognition accorded them without the issues. It i un derstood that they will not asirto have any trucoof thole beliefs as prohibitionists put in the constitution , qulotly submitting to a separate ballot ot the polls , unless the poli ticians conclude to go into wholesale amend ments , in which event a demand may bo made that a prohibition clause bo placed In the body of the constitution. This would make things lively. Indeed , as the prohib itionists have easy control of the conven tion. tion.Tho The session of the convention this after noon lasted only forty minutes. The worn Is being retarded by the deliberation of the North Dakota convention. President Edger- ton announced the following commission for Bismarck , to determine a division of the territory's liabilities and rec ords : Kollain , of Brulo county , chair man ; McGillleuddy , of Ponulngton , Caldwell , of Mliinchnha ; Elliott , of Turner ; Price , of Hyde ; Brett , of Brown. The lat ter two are democrats , the others repub licans. John H. Drake , of the Aberdeen Pioneer , was chosen , secretary of the coin- misMon. Thu president stated that ho had requested the North Dakota convention to name a day when tha joint commission could convene , but not having received a reply the delegates from thu convention could not hopti to leave before Wednesday. There Is no probability of n report being received from the Joint commission before the end of next week , which will make final adjourn ment out of tha question under eighteen or twenty days hence. Notwithstanding the f.ict that it is practically agreed that each state shall assnmo tha ludcbttOncss for its own institutions , and that there , shall be du plicates mode of the records so that each state may have copies , which ought to make tlio joint commission's work easy and brief , the convention will ccntlnuo Its work In the absence of the commission with a view to completing utl clso boforothc tatter's return.

Tel egram to THE BEE.J--A strong attempt to extort money from a clergyman of this city came to light to-day. A few days ago ho re ceived a letter tolling him that If ho did not send the writer of the letter 53,000 , ho would destroy the clergyman's property with dyna mite. The letter also instructed him to goto * the lovco above the city on a certain evening between 0 and 7 o'clock and place the money In a jar that ha would find under a flat slono in a place indicated by a red Hag. An Investiga tion showed that everything was arranged as the letter staled. At the specified time the clergyman went to the place nnd put a package - ago of paper in the Jar , whllo a detail of police watched the spot. They remained some time , but no ono appeared until after they loft. The place was then visited by some ono who took the package out and opened it. It is boHoved by some of the ofllcers that the hand-writing of the letter contains n clew. Interesting developments are promised. Fire and Police Commission.

After Asking Him Somn Questions n ticorot Council In Held What the Old KlRhtcr Think * of the Situation. The Government Askn Ton Much. Citow CUKKK AoKSor.S.D. , ( vm Chamber lain , Dak. ) July 8. fSpecial Telegram to TUB BEB , " ! U was supposed by the commis sion that tno Indians would bo ready to come in this morning nnd.talk ever the matter of signing In. general convert , but nothing had been scon ot them at 3 o'clock to-day. About 10:30 : O'clocklliO agent hero , Mntor Andfcr- son , called together the few Indians about the agency nnd road the riot act to them. Ho informod-tnctn that no dilatory actions would bo tolerated for an Instant. They understood why these gentleman wore hero and he hoped to see all tha bands come In nnd sign thu dny so they could go homu to look after their crops and stocit. General Crook was called out last evening to talk with the Indian * In their own council held hero. Questions wcro asked concern- corning the treaty now presented , after which the Indians wont Into secret sessions , excluding all white men and outsiders. What was the result of that council cannot bo definitely ascertained , although It is not supposed to bo favorable to the bill. In a long talk bait this morning with General - oral Crook , ho expressed blninolt as not very hopeful ot Immediate success hero. "There Is too iiiuuh of the usual governmental In dian policy In this treaty here. Out of sev enty-nine townships of laud hnld by these Indians , they nru asked to concede nil but about twelve townships , ana these are not the very best In quality. Should these In dians elect to take up tliolr lands as grazing land , there would not bo enough to give the allotted number of acres to each. This is notjustlcoto these Indians , for their near neighbors , the Brulo Indians , under thu same agent , hnvo a much greater number of acres sot apart for them , and , after allot ment In severally , will have a largo surplus left m common. The cnso is the same with the Koiobnd and Pine Itldge Indians. The Indian's character Is so constituted as to yield readily tp all evil Influence * , rather than good. Another peculiarity of the In dian nature Is whoa you ask him to do something for you ho should bo paid for so doing , ns you request it. It is this peculiarity with which wo hava had to contend , though there was some other very powerful Inlluenco nt Pine Kidgo. which wo wore unable to dis cover. At Pine Hhlgo the talk was made as as against the boundary Hue question , whllo the real objection lay beyond and outside this question entirely. During all of niy talks with Young-Maii-Afrald-of-HIs-Horso and LHtlo Wound , both of whom have Uono much , they would tell mo that thny thought the bill goon for their pconlo , but when asked why they would not sign thny would remain silent. One thing may bo written as a maxim of thu Indian public councils , nnd that is that the complaints made there do not touch upon the real matter at Issue at all. These Indians have been tampered with bv the Dr. Bland Indian Defense association , and they listen to him rather than to those who they should know as their truest friends. I have an intiinato ncqiiamtanco with some of the members ot the Indian Itights associa tion , and I It now that they have the best in terests of thu Indtani at heart , giving time and money for their good , yet the Indians will listen to Dr. Bland und Ins rival society rather than the Boston society. " This expression of opinion from General Crook , whose lifelong associations with Indians has given him an Intiinato knowl edge of their characteristics , may bo taken as an accurate summing upof the situation on the Sioux reservation. it is reported that Indians hero are still councllliwamong them selves and are not yet decided upon any course. U'lio council mot at n Into hour this after noon , but the Indians came only with the in tention of begging tlmo for the further con sideration of the bill. Tlio principal speaker , White Ghost , spoke nt length , mentioning the San tecs and Fhmdcaus.whom they think have no right in the treaty. Ho also In formed the commission that ho had many ft'- ' full-blooded Indians who could both read aud write , so ho wanted a couple copies of the bill , promising to study the same , oven If they should sit up all night to do no. Tlrao was granted them to study the bill , but they wcro asked to make their delibera tion as brief as possible as tlmo was precious. Governor Foster said a few words In his usual fe licitous manner. alter which Gen eral Crook made his effective talk bv promising beef and coffee. The council then adjourned to meet to-morrow at tllo snmo place. The advanced condition of tin ) Indians nt this agency Is apparent In thu manner in which they speak , and muko their preparation for speaking , much resem bling white people. Tlio speaker of the day , White Ghost , Is pronounced by the ngent Major Warner , to bo tbo most truly eloquent man ho has yet hoard In any of the negotia tions with the Sioux nation.
