DM All A IUILY HER. FRIDAY. APIUL 21. IflfM. JACKSON'S ' SIDE OF THE CASE "Why the Sable Gladiator Ha ? No Match On with'tbo Champion. DAVIES' ' COMPLIMENTS TO CORBETT I' cU Ooncnrnlne tlio .Situation I'lnlnly Hinted by thu I'arnnii " ( lontli-innn .llni" for nn Knuy nniuo AN nn I Nona of I'rteri Stockwcll's Uncle Tom's Cabin company began n three-night's engagement at the Fartmm Street theater last evening under auspices that can only bo denominated as exceedingly Haltering- Despite the dis agreeably Inclement weather the house was pocked from top to bottom , save a few va cant scats In tlio parquet. Thcro were many ladies present and they attested their appreciation in n pleasing , demonstra tive way. That Mrs. Htowo's great novel has a firm grip on tlio American public was elaborately exemplified last nij'ht. Of course , the dear old play has been worked Into a laughing burlesitio | by barn storming combinations , with their double Undo Toms , triplet Topsies , twin Kvas and half dox.cn Marks , until it has been driven to tall grass. Its resuscitation , however , conies at the hands of a great pugilist , and a colored ono at that , for 1'oter .lackson in tlio premier role of Uncle Tom bids fair to restore the old play to Us former popular status. Tlio man who has conquered the best men of the eastern and southern conti nents by the might of his brawny lists , the man who lias fought America's champion to n draw , is once moro drawing vast crowds to the leading theaters of tlic metropolitan cities. This within itself is something to marvel at , but when it Is said that tlio most hypercritical Judges assert that Jiickson's portrayal of the great character of L'ucio Tom is extremely faith ful to nature all wondiir ceases. Ho lias in deed an mate talent for the part that is fairly incredible , moro so when the fact is trtkcn into consideration that ho is a negro , nnd a puplllst at that , a deprecatory calling diametrically opposed to all tno rellnlng and ennobling requirements that render the character of Mrs. Stowe's immortal hero so appealing to all that is good in the human make up. up.There There Are Otlu-ra In tlin tlnst. Hut to Peter aiono does not belong all the credit , for his co-laborers in a common cause , the well known " 1'arson" D.ivirs , gentleman and sporting caterer , and Joseph IJartlott Choynski , ono of the exemplars of the prize ring , como in for nn abundant measure of praise. The 1'arson ia extremely clover , ns ho is in the ordinary rut of every day life , and ho supports the lirobdicnagian Peter In his histrionic ambition with the same zest ho urges his , claims on being the best mnn with his dukes on top of the earth. Choynski as Haley , the slave driver , plays tils part witli a discrimination and a judg ment that suits the part to a T. Next in kindly esteem comes little Anna uLaughlin us Eva. She is an infantile prodigy and no exaggeration. Sweet and pretty us a rose bud , and evincing all the qualifications that go to constructing thoilntshcd artist. She is painstaking , careful and studious , with a marvelous enunciation in a wco bit of a tiling , nnd altogether fair and lovely to look upon , Miss Woodthropo's Topsy is quite clover , and Saui Carman as Phineas Fletcher imikcs himself solid with the house from tlio very moment he interests himself in the fleeing Eliza till the curtain is rung down for the night. Altogether the company supporting Peter Jackson is 'way above mediocre and will doubtless continue to 1111 the F.irnam Street theater for the balance of the week. Mrn. Stowo Kuuw Nothing ol Till * . The three-round boutbctwccn Jackson and Choynski between thu first and second acts is a feature of tlio performance it would bo culpable to neglect. The two giants appear in full ring costume , and , after being intro duced by Air. Davins , become neighborly to nn extent that enkindles in the heart of pug nacious Young America a most vociferous en thusiasm. As Peter smashes Joe. and Joe conies back across with n swinging right , they fairly get up in the loft and howl , and when the two "mix" in men tlio wind-up tlio scene is ono that defies dcsr.ription. Of course the bout is purely friendly and sci entific , and the man would bo egotistical in deed who presumed to have received a line in either man's mode of lighting by this highly interesting exhibition. 1'amoii Duvii's Interviewed. "Parson" Davies , Jackson's manager , at the Paxton last evening , said : "I have learned that Mr. Corbott during his recent visit here , in a controversy with a newspaper man about his not accepting Jackson's challenge to light him and accept ing that of Charllo Mitchell instead , applied abusive epithets to me. I must say this is hard to believe , as when wo last mot wo parted on apparently the most friendly terms. It is difficult to credit , therefore , that the language ' -sod by Mr. Corbett is that of a man whoso boast and stock in trade Is that of buing n gentleman. To strengthen this claim ho has even had a play written for Ills express rendition to prove to the public the truth of this assertion that he is a gentleman. "If Corbott did apply such Inneuago to mo it could only have been on account of my posting $2,500 with the Now York Clipper to match Peter Jackson for * 10,000 a side and the largest purse obtainable , winner to take nil and Corbott to name any time within ten months. Instead of doing this bo made a inatcti with Clmrlio Mitchell for the cham pionship of thi ) world , when it is a potent fact that Mr. Mitchell represents no cham pionship , while Jackson has won the cham pionship of Australia , beaten the champion ot England and holds the championship of the Pacific coast Corbctt's home. .11 ill l-iclis nil I'Mty Murk. "In this connection I might properly add that the inducements for Corbett to make this match are that Mitchell is much easier game than Jackson ; that ho is twenty-llvo pounds lighter , four indies shorter in stature und six- years older than himself. 'Corbctt's excuses fornot meeting Jackson nro that Mitchell challenged him llrst , and that my claim that 1 challenged him first on behalf of Putcr was not true. In answer to this statement I deposited $1,000 with the San Francisco Examiner to wager him against a like amount that ho was not speaking truthfully in this regard. The money re mained in the ' Examiner's custody for sev eral weeks , but Corbott failed to cover it. This t loaves the public alone to judge who wns honest in this matter. I nm still desirous of making him the same bet. "Another reason for fighting Mitchell , ho claims , is that the Englishman insulted film in a saloon on the Howery in Now York , which , I should think , was then und there the proper place to resent this affront , which u number of bystanders declare , was a gross ono. ono."I "I also undorswnd that ho said ho would plvo this Omaha reporter $1,000 If ho would make n match with Jackson for him. This proposition sounds extremely funny In the facoof the fact that Corbutt has dodged Jackson over slnco their draw tight of two years ago. It is an historical fact that ho absolutely Ignored my 13,500 deposit made prior to his match with Mitchell , but In stead went deliberately to work ami made a match with the Englishman for $10.000 a side and the championship of the world. "Of course there is no denying the fact that Jack has a black skin , still , in my hum- bio opinion , all men engaged in fighting for a living uro on u lovcl with each other , ho they white , black , green or yellow , Ameri can , English or Scandinavian , they are all of an lllr. In this opinion Corbett certainly harmonizes with mo , inasmuch as ho owes hi * start in the world to the draw ho fought with the despised African In 'Frisco. "If I have incurred Corbctt's enmity by my loyalty to Jackson I am glad ot it , as I pride myself n endeavoring- advance the Interests In every legitimate way of any ono who comes under my management , no mat ter what their color or nationality. All I nslc Is a fair field and no favor. " Attention Unto Halt | -ny | ri.

All around them danced a licet of little boats , tossed about like corks. It was raining when the first gleam of tiny broke over the fort tills morn ing and a strong wile was blowing from tlio southeast. As tlio day wore on the gale increased and the sea became rougher. Although the arrival of ships has become a thing of common occur rence there was a hasty exodus from tlio hotels this morning when the booming of cannon announced that a new comer was in the harbor. She How the fa miliar flag of Italy from the stern nnd was speedily identified as the .lOtiia , a protected i-ruiser ! not as largo as the Chicago or tlio Philadelphia , but lull-resting from the fact that her 10-inch guns are larger even than the great weapons which the Blake carried. There was more than the usual commotion as she came to anchor. At her main a small blue flag with a white star stood out stiffly in the gale , the silent signal that a rear ad miral was on board. Everybody had to salute him. It was noticeable to observers that the German man-of-war , tlio Kaiserin Augusta , began to salute when the ; Ktna was still within half a mile of her anchorage. This little incident lias caused much gossip here , as did the ostentatiousiiess with which tlio Russians hoarded the Jean Bart. It seems strange to sec European jwlitics play ing u part in tlio peaceful waters of the United states , but it was quite evident that the shrewd Germans did not lose even this opportunity of testifying their regard for the nation which , with their own fatherland and Austria , form the dreibmul. Equally significant was the occurrence of this afternoon. Admiral Magnanlit of the . /Etna visited all tlio other admirals in the Meet. Then ho went to the Kaiserin Augusta , where lie spent some time. As lie departed the customary salute was fired. Instantly the guns of the Italian ship belched forth their flame and smoke , although none of the salutes which tlio admiral had received from the other ships were returned. The ; Etna came from Sczziu and traveling by the northern passage , ran Into a cyclone. The ship rolled so heavily that the tortiedo nets along her side were under water half the tinif , and once it was thought they would bo carried away. Everything movable on deck wns still'lashed with strong cables this morning and there was a , red coating of rust over every bit of exposed metal. i.oc.tr Jin W. W.

CONFIDENT Dl < A COMPROMISE ; i Indications that the Shopmou's ' Strlko Will niEud Today. , ! i DICKINSON WILL MEET THE STRIKERS Moth Hlitrro Stlil : to Ha Iteuilv to ainkc ? r7'lio Men litpvct tlmt Will Ho The latest developments In the Union Pacific shopmen's strlko Indicate that n settlement will be effected sometime today. It Is claimed that mutual concessions will 10 agreed on and the men will go hack to work , not without having gained sonic of the mints In controversy , Yesterday morning tlto members of the Denver committee were about ho shops getting expressions of opinion from the molders , boiler nakcrs , blacksmiths and machinists so that that they might bo able to make an ntelligent report to tlio trades sending them to Omaha to ascertain the situation. Shortly after the committee had completed n tour of the shops a reporter saw Mr. T. H. Ireson Thomas Woodhouse and Frank W. Lee at the Hotel Kiehcllou. Air. Ireson , in reply to question , said that the committee was : icro to investigate matters and would proba- : ily conclude its labors in a day or two , when It would make a report to the Denver work men. "The executive committee is in charge , " continued Air. Ireson , "and all orders are issued by that body. I believe they ordered the men out in Denver , but only some of them went out , drawing their tlmu checks to stop all diflleulty. We have uocii tele graphing them , but beyond this 1 have noth ing to say. Of course , I imagine the new men are waiting for our return before any thing is done. " Chairman Brodcrlek , however , somewhat contradicted Mr. Ireson's statement by re marking that all the men in the trades rep resented in the strlko were out , Denver as well as elsewhere , Kawlins being the only exception. Sir. Young for tlin Molilrr * . Dut the surprise of the morning was the appearance of Jimmy Young , late one of the out-and-out leaders of the executive committee - too and the man authorised to talk to the newspaper men , in the foundry department ready to begin work. Mr. Young , in talking to the representa tive of TUB IJci : as to his somewhat surptis- injt Hop , said : "When the molders refused to Join the other trades out my connection with the executive committee ceased and I made arrangements to resume work. I am faithful to the interests of my people , and having taken the position they did nothing was left for me but to step out. Tim BIB : nmJe a big mistake when it stated that I had received a letter from the union in order to patch up my cbniicction with the execu tive committee. The only thing 1 received was a two-lino communication from the union that my connection with the executive committee was at nfi end , the union having decided not to wallf out. " What will bo the1 effect of the strike ? " asked the reporter. "That is very Imrrl to tell , " said Mr.Young. "I am in hopes that the strike will bo set tled within a very short time , otherwise I beliovc a number of other trades will be drawn Into it. I.think there will bo mutual concessions made and the men will all bo back to work b.y Monday at the furthest. One thing I do want to say , however , and that is the fair treatment accorded the men by the papers. While there arc some hot heads , still I believe the great majority of boys will say thatTni : BEK has been emi nently fair. " ' , IIi-Iil a "Sliiirt Conference. At ft o'clock yesterday afternoon S. H. II. Clark's stenographer succeeded in iinding Dave Hopkins , the secretary of the execu tive board. What followed may bo readily known when it is stated that a conference was arranged to take place tills afternoon between Ed Dickinson and the executive board of the trades involved in the strike. No proposition was submitted by the com pany. It simply requested that the board meet with the general manager and discuss matters looking toward a settlement. This meeting will therefore take place this afternoon and it is believed will result in a settlement of the present difllculties. At 4 o'clock a meeting of 125 of the men now out was brought to a close. As they filed down the stairway it. was evident they had received some encouraging news. They all seemed to be in a pleasant moon and laughed and chatted with ono another as if their troubles were resting lightly upon their shoulders. They had probably con strued the message from the company as a strong point in their favor and believed that another twenty-four hours would bring to them substantially what they desired. Only 11 Question of lluura. M. II. IJroderic said : "I cannot go into details , but you can say that everything points to a happy termination of our contest. Wo are exuberant over the prospects and believe - lievo wo 1mvo peed reason to be. " Harry Kaston said : "It is not a question of days but of hours only when the strike will bo terminated satisfactorily to both sides. Wo believe wo have practically se cured what wo want , and that , too , largely by our gentlemanly bearing and good be havior toward the company. Wo have had gentlemen to deal with and we have shown them courtesy in return. There has been no harsh feeling engendered , and unless all signs fail , matters will soon como to a happy solution. If wo should not succeed , however - over , in arriving at a satisfactory agree- men , we snail continually stand together as llrinly as heretofore and insist upon what wo believe to bo right. " Very few of the strikers were about last evening , only a small number , not to exceed a dozen , being in the office of the Hlehelieu hotel.

New YOKK , April 20. Thcro was an excit ing time at the meeting of the stockholders or the Nicaragua canal called today by George C. Knight , an cxomptor of the firm , who claims to represent vast amounts of English capital , and who earnestly desires the removal of Mr. Warner Miller as presi dent of the company and to have the project entirely reorganised. About a score of gentle men were in attendance whom Mr. Knight introduced to the meeting as stockholders or representatives of stockholders. Mr. Knight opened the meeting by reading a lone attack upon President Miller and the management of the company in general. Ho declared that the money of the canal com pany had been wasted in useless salaries and. in getting up of canal conventions in various parts of the country , which merely furnished junketing expeditions for tlio officers. According to Mr. Knight , through the operations of the voting trust of the stock of the company , which trust had been pro longed for two years after the time it should have expired , Mr. Warner Miller had illegally had himself elected president of the company. Mr. Knight said lie proposed to have the stockholders of the company take action at once to have Mr. Miller removed. lie an nounced that besides the Kngllshnicn ho represented ho also had other largo inter ests behind him. Ho represented UO per cent of the total outstanding capitali/atlon of the company. Ho proposed by name Mr. Weed as successor to Mr. Miller. The lat ter , ho intimated , would bo peculiarly ac ceptable to his party because of the pecul iarly happy connection Mr.Veed had with the present administration at Washington. Mr. Knight read a scheme for an entirely now canal company , to bo organl/.ed both under English and American charters , which would complete the canal. IJy the plan of this company botli the British ami American governments would have the joint use for naval purposes of the canal. Mr. Smith M. Weed rose at the conclusion of Mr. Knight's speech and said he cnmo to the meeting to protest against the use of his name in any way with the movement which Mr. Knight said ho was engineering. Turning - ing to Mr. Knight , ho said : "Your statements - ments In reference to the company and its management are every stnglo ono of them untrue. " Mr. Weed grow vigorous as ho denied in detail the statements made by Mr. Knight. Ho said ho protested , in the name of Mr. Cleveland , against the base imputation that it needed a man of the president's political faith to present ttio canal matter to the ad ministration. He took it upon himself to say that there was no man m the country who would bo hotter received at the head of the canal enterprise than Mr. Miller. Mr. Knight , said Mr. Weed , I thought did not understand the American parties. His whole movement , he believed , had been or ganized to injure ttio canal company. Ho denied that Mr. Miller had been illegally elected president of the company , and said ho had received a majority of votes outside the stockholders in the voting trust. Ho closed by saying that the American people would never permit the English govern ment to have joint interest in the canal. No action was taken.

After the destruction of the stockade last summer and the liberation of the convicts , the miners at TracyiClty were in high glee. For a time they labored under tlio Impression tlmt they j | i had forever driven the convicts from the j mines of Grimily county , and that they I would no longer bo forced to contend with 1 thu obnoxious and che.ip class of laborers. [ I i However , it was hut a short tlmo until the 7-chras again reappeared at the mines In in creased numbers. The stockade had been I i rebuilt and strengthened and an additional guard force had been employed. There was 1 some bitter comments because of the return i of the convict's , but after a whlln n mica bin j relations were npnarently resumed and tilings went along in a harmonious manner. Hut the spirit of revenge still lingered in Jhe bro ists of many of the younger and more headstrong element. Secret meetings were held , and at last the younger men cnmo to the conclusion that it was useless to further object to the labor of their hated competitors. The few leaders in tlto former tragedy advised peace and sticking to all agreements. DftcrinliiiMl In ( in Ahead. The roughs , however , determined to go ahead , openly boasting that they could muster enough men to accomplish ihc.ir ob ject. One Sunday about a month ago a meeting was held by these malcontents ami at its conclusion a couple of dynamite cart ridges were exploded as a signal tlmt the attack would MJOU bo made. Two weeks ago tit another meeting , at which there were about thirty miners , a plan of attack was agreed upon , which was attempted to be carried out W ednesdny night. Early Wednesday tlio Tracy City nircnts of the Tennessee Coal , Iron and Railroad company received what they deemed reliable information that the stockade would be at tacked that night. This information was at once conveyed to the officials at the stockade and to President N. Baxter in tills city. That gentleman at once notiged Adjutant General Fife and troops were ordered to be in readiness to moves at a moment's notice.

A few minutes before 11 o'clock last night Doptifv Warden Shriever , Deputy Saumlors and ex-Sheriff Dcjnrnotte heard n loud knock at tlio stockade gate. Instantly the ponderous gate swung buck on its hinges ami there in thu gloom stood three men hea\ily armed. "Upon what terms will you release the convicts ? " asked the taller ono of the men , u strapping young man of about 23 years of ace. " "They will not lie ' -oleascd at all , " replied the brave deputy. n "Well , wo will have them , " s-iid the I leader , tit the same time saying that ho and his companions represented 700 miners , and that they had the men and arms to do it with. Then ho In-lit up in his hand a dyna mite cartridge , such as is used in blasting , and was about making a threatening move ment when the deputy warden and the sheriff se/i : > il him , and dragging him inside the gate , closed it. Ueforo the guards could get their hands on them , the other two walked r.ipidly away , brandishing their arms as they went. Sherilf Saumien * ordered the guards to lire upon them , but for some reason this was not done. Tlio captmed miner had hardly been gotten insldo tlio little room near the gate before the guards heard the patter of the leaden hail from a seoro of weapons. By a precon certed signal tlio shots came from every side of the stockade anil the garrison was for a moment carried completely off their feet. C'lcMod III on tlin Stockndo. The miners had closed in on the stockade and wcroactuall.vpoking [ the muzzles ol their i guns inrougn ino. poruioics. in an instant the guards were at their ixists , and then the salute from the outside was answered by a volley from the Insldo. Tlio miners , how ever , had tlio advantage , as the light inside enabled them to see every movement of the beleaguered guards , The latter , however , took the upper portholes , and then the battle - tlo raged furiously for a few minutes. Fully 500 shots were fired. Deputy Shrlvor liad climbed into the second end story of the stockade , whcro ho could look down on the besiegers. Ho had hardly gotten into the room hoforo a miner saw him in the lamplight and drew a bead on him. Shriver , however , saw his game , and both fired almost simultaneously. Shriver was shot twice in tlio right side of Mio face , while his adversary fell dead In his tracks , a bullet plowing a hole through him from breast to hip. In the meantime tlio cap tured leader , who proved to bo a young miner named Joe Grantliam , had been released by Sheriff Sandeis and tlio guards ui > on the promiAO that ho would go out and stop the firing , Ho played traitor , however , for after his rcleaso Guard S.
