The Olympic club house is three miles from Canal streot. In that neighborhood hun dreds of women and children worn collected nnd shouted at the passing vehicles. It wus n Fllzslmnuns crowd throughout. Every mention of the middleweight champion's name was received with chuors , and men stood on the corners shaking money and offering to bet on the chance of winning. Not only were tha men interested , but women and children also. Homo of the IMg HctB. The are several entrances to the club and tlicro was a crush at each of them. A great for co of police were ou hand , however , and they handled tbo thousands who applied for admission with rapidity and ease.

Fully 5,000 people witnessed tbo contests , Whlcuwere between Frank Slavln and an unknown , Oharlio Mitchell and an unknown nnd Peter Mnhor , champion of Ireland , and Uobcrt Fitzsimtnons , middle weight champion or tbo world.

Colllcld of Albany , Nob. , is a name which will bo fiimiliur to every one about the Indian olllco here for ninny years to como. Cofllold tried to pltiy a smart trick in order to secure appointment to the position of farmer ut ho Pine Ridgoagencyund got trapped. On the 8th inaU Senator MandorBon received a letter from Coilleld which was couched in very impatient tones , and almost demanded thai ho be appointed to the position of farmer at Pine Ridge , without delay. This letter called Sena tor Mandorson's attention to the charac ter of the applicant In the lirrfi place Cotllold should h .vo Icnown that the ] > o- sitlon sought is pntronufio belonging to South Dakota , and therefore a Nobraa- kan would not bo chosen ; secondly , ho .should have known enough to have been more respectful in his language. In Collicld's letter to Senator Mandor- son ho used this expression : "Now , what I want to know is wliy" the position is not forthcoming. Later in the letter ho said : "I think , in consideration of post services there and in the army , that I am entitled to fair treatment. " Collibld referred , in this-letter to Sen ator Manderson , to an application which ho filed on April iW , 1891 , for this posi tion , and cited a telegram from Com mis , sionor Morgan , who stated to Acting Indian Agent Penney that Cotlield's ap plication for appointment would not bo approved , tid therefore it was unneces sary for Penney to submit the nomina tion. Colliold , in hh letter to Senator Mandorson on the Sth inst. , gave out the impresdlon that he hud been a union soldier , for ho said that "in consideration of past services in the army I am entitled to fair treatment. " On the strength of this latter Senator Manderson wrote to Indian Commis sioner Morgan to ascertain something of ColUold's record ns farmer at.Pino Ridgo. subsequent to the tune of his removal under the last administration. It appears that Cfolflold was appointed fanner at Pine Ridge some years pre vious to , the incoming of the Cleveland administration , and when ho was re moved by Indian Commissioner Atkins , upon the presumption tiiat ho was a re publican , ho wrote ft letter to the In dian ofllco begging for reinstatement Commissioner Morgan in his reply to Senator Mamlerbon's inquiry as to Collluld's record , und the circumstances iintler which he wus appointed origin ally , simply inclosed a copy of a letter written by Colliold to Commissioner Atkins from Gordon , Nob. . July 110 , 1887. and observed that tjio latter explained why tlio application of Colliold for np- pointuieit at tnis time would not bo considered , r'rom this letter of Got- field's the following extract is tuken : "On the Ilrst of last Ferbuury I was relieved as additional farmer at Pine Ridge agency , and Mr. David Link ap pointed in my stead. I supposed then , and do now , that the department relieved - lievod mo supposing that I was ii ropuu- lletui. They were justilied in beliovintr such to bo the case from the fact that I was working under a republican admin istration , but I would Ilka to disabuse your mind of any such iduu. I rim a Murylundor , and ut the breaking out ol the war joined the Blank Horse cavalry under Ashby , After ho was killed nt Cross Keys , I wont to MoMiiinvilld , Torn ) , , and joined General John II. Mor gan , who tent mo to Liberty , To mi. , to Captain Tom Quirk to raise additional scouts for his command. I remained with Morgan until his brother Dick curao from Virginia. Dick and mysoll ( Xuld never got alongeo I wont back to Virginia and holpid Ilarry Glluiorc to raise what wus known us Gllmore's battalion , und romainec with that organization until the close of the war. I mention tiioso facte simply to remind you that republicans did not wear tlio same kind of uniform that I did. " It would bo dllllcult to describe the indignation which prevailed in the Indian olllco , not to nnmo that of Son < utor Mandorson , when it was discovered that Colliold iiud attempted , for the purpose ol securing a reupnolntmont , tc convoy the idea that ho was un ox-union soldlor , when in fact ho had boasted tc President Clayelnud's Indian com1 uilsslonor that ho bore conspleuouf services for the confederacy , and ap pealed to tlio democratic admiulstratior to be reinstated upon Ills rebel record It appears that Cplliuld was appointee armor nt Pine Rldproin Jnramry , 183" ) , upon the recommendation of Agent McUllllcudcly , who will now hnvo an opportunity to explain his notion , in view of this statement inCofllold's loiter to Commissioner Atkins : "I have no loubt if I would go back among my friends in Maryland and Virginia I would rocclvo the endorsement of the dcogntlons from both these slates' . " Courtp y UniliT l > llllrtiUlo . Senator Brlco Is outraged just now In fouling the public pnlso. Uo Ims found out enough within the past ton days to convince him that there is no diplomacy in permitting the pcopld to believe ho is favorable to David D. IIill's can didacy. Ills Interview on this subject [ ) rlnted in the Now York World caused i decided sensation and brought the aon- itor several hundred additional letters in his big batch of mail. The senator , by the way , never falls lo answer a letter. The story Is told of lilm that Bomn time airo an angry con stituent , displeased with Brlco's action in a certain matter , sent him postal card on which was the single line In a largo round hand : I think you nro an unmitigated jack ass. ass.The senator's secretary was about to throw it into the waste basket when his employer stayed his hand and dictated liis customary form of acknowledgment : MY DiiAll Sill Your favor of the 10th inst. at hand. Its contents hnvo been carefully noted and will receive early attention. Very truly yours , olc. Unlucky Idiyx.

Cnicuao. 111. , March 1. [ Spoclnl Tologrnm lo TUB BKK.J There Is more trouolo In store for the whisky trust. This time it comes , not from a federal grand jury , but from within the trust Itself. It Is nothing short ofnsult which U likely to bring the inner most secrets of the trust to light , nnd espe cially some facts connected with the begin ning of the trust. The organization of the trust wns con ducted on the principle that no sensible man with commodity to sell will underrate the value of that commodity ; Mint in business it is permissible to place on It an exorbitant price , if there is n chance to secure n cus tomer that will take it nt the vendor's valua tion. It was therefore determined to cnpl- tnltzo the trust nnd issue stock on h valuation of 400 per cent of the market value of the proportl6s. As the promoters of the trust proceeded they found no opposition In any qunitor to tbo plan. An owner ot n distillery worth tT5,000 wns perfectly willing to have his plant valued at (300,000 , nnd to tnko certificates ot stock In the whisky trust for that amount. But attor the trust was fully organized some of Iho distillers began to think they ) md not fared so well as their neighbors. Their plants had-gouo in at n 400 per con valuation , but tholr neighbors had boon up- praised all the way from 600 to 800 per cent nbovo market values. The dissatisfaction of tha men who failed to got In on the ground floor has existed over since. They have expostulated , but in vain. Tbo mon who had got lu on iho ground Door had thorn upon the hip , principally because they were distnclincdao give away the se crets of the trust. In parting with their distilleries the members received cortlDcatos of the waterv stock. Hiivti an iyo on Soiiirtlilng. By the into manipulating most of the cer tificates have found their way to Wall street , whore tricy are now held. By the deal dis tillers have cleared * r,000,000 to ? 10,000,0)0 ( ) recently. In case the stocu goes low enough they will bo able to get their certificates back nnd clenr n torn millions more. Some of the distillery , in the trust have Intel ; been considering the advisability of beginning suits to recover back their distil leries , or to have a full accounting from iho trust. They will claim that theroweio fraud and mlsrcprpso.ntatlon-on the part of the men xvho organizeWD ) trust , acting in collusion with those let hi on tbo. ground lloor. That such suits will-.bp Instituted is considered highly probnblqn by. people on the insldo.

A story pub lished this evening say's more surprises uro in store for the poop'o ' most interested in the whisky trust cases. Before another twouty- four hours have elapsed , it is not improba ble , say those who are in a pouion to know , that arrests will bo made on indictments found by the federal grand jury in aoasioo In this city which will create a profound sensa tion. The indictments have resulted from the prosecution of tha.whlsk.r trust oflicials and thn charge contained in them is that of tam pering with members pf tbo grand jury and of attempting to prevent the finding of nn indictment. Tuo matter has bean kept ex ceedingly quiet. .District Attorney Allen docs not deny that iudlctments have been found ; ho merely says he can give uo Infer mation. T OWKU , Mass. , March 1. Charles I. Hood said today : "The statement that I wus the loader in fighting Uils whisky trust i not correct. Mr. Sticknoy , who purchased our alcohol , called iny attention some tlino ago to the combination but I was busy at tbo time and did not pay much attention. Wo con tinued to purchase-our alcohol whore wo co'uld get it the cheapest and finally Mr. Sticknoy called my attention to the fact that the agent of this combin.lion refused to re deem our roonto checks. The rebate money U held by tno agents of this combina tion and wo do not receive any hit frost est un It. That money should be enough to conduct the business and tbo parties own ing the distilleries in tbo combination need not have a dollar of capital invested. When the agents of the combination refused to re deem our chocks because wo purchased alco hol of parties outsida their combination , I wrote to the attorney general about the mat- tut- and ho referred the communication to the United Stales district attorney for investiga tion. Notwithstanding tbo efforts of this combination , wo have boon able to purchase alcohol of oulHltlo parties at a cheaper rate. I think wo have purchased alcohol from members of tbo combination who hope to break down the competitor selling to us.

Dan O'KoelTo took the other slilo.ndvocat ing the inirclmso of Syndicate park and roasting tno Clnrka otfor to n turn. Ho paid his respects to Tom Murray , whom ho de clared never gnvo away u cent In his lifo , nnd intimated that Mr. Clarke had given Murray f500 or more to make his ' 'donation , " in order that the Clarke tract might bo sold for tl,200 nn acre , which , be said , is much moro than It W worth. He spoke of the trots In Syndicate park nni ) declared Hint the ClnrKo tract bad none. Ho thought n park should bo secured to bonctit the present generation. Ernest Stuht declared that there were moro trees on the Clarke tract than In Syndicate park. Ho thought the price of the Clurko tract was much moro reasonable than any of the other tracts , as it was only n inllo from the spot where the meeting was held , while for other tracts six miles nway the sum of 1,100 , was asked.

Huscull moved that the park commissioners bo requested to purchase the Clarice tractac cept the Murray donation nud hold the Dal- anco of the money In reserve. Dan O'Keofo offered as un amendment that UioolUcluls bo rpiiuestnd not to sell the bonds this year , ns the right of eminent domain would soon bo restored and Iho money could then bo expended without playing into the bands of the land sharks and property could bo secured for what it is worth. Dr. W. H. Hanchott spoke in favor of the Clarke tract and urged that an Immediate- purchase be rocointnondcd. Mr. Powers thought the matter of post poning the purchase of parks should properly cotno before u mass tncotiug of citizens of the north and south sldos. The amendment was overwhelmingly de feated und Hoscall's motion carried with a whoop. On motion of Mr. Donovan n resolution was adopted demanding that u liberal slice of this year's sewer allowance bo expended south of the tracks.
