Associated Press Dispatches. I San Francisco, April 25. —The battle between the middleweights, Charlie Turner, of Stockton, and Denny Kel leher, drew a large crowd of spectators to the Golden Gate Athletic Club to night. The colored man was the favor ite. Turner's seconds were Billy Hen nessy and Joe Bowers, and Kelleher's seconds were Danny Needham and Billy Shannon. Joe Choynski acted as referee. Two thousand people were present. Turner Was Going to- Win. Turner came down from Stockton last night and assured his friends that he was going to win. He weighed 153 pounds and looked in good condition. In the afternoon his representatives and those of Kelleher met with the di rectors of the club and chose Jimmie Carroll, of Brooklyn, as referee. Carroll, however, is still suffering from the effects of his late tight with Smith. Therefore he declined to serve. The board then selected Joe Choynski to act in his place. Betting was slightly in Turner's favor last night. But little was done up to the fifth round. Denny Gets in With His Left. There were some short interchanges in the sixth, with honors about even until near the close, when Kelleher landed two vicious left-hand swings on Turner's jaw. Kelleher repeated this in the seventh three times, but Turner responded in the same way and sent Kelleher down with a hard right-hander in the neck. The hea'fy hitting was kept up in the eighth round, Kelleher generally having the advantage. The ninth round was Turner's. He gave Kelleher a dozen wicked blows in the wind and on the jaw, and received little punishment in return. In the tenth round Turner continued to pound hard on Kelleher's wind and neck, but received half a dozen of Kel leher's hard counters. In the eleventh round little damage was done. Turner continued to force the fighting all through the twelfth round and landed often on Kelleher's ribs and jaw. The latter was evidently suffering from the punishment; but just as the round closed he gave Turner a terrific left-hand blow in the stomach. The Finish Came Suddenly. The thirteenth round settled the fight, though the finish came so suddenly that the spectators were not prepared for it. Kelleher was still fighting bravely, but Turner was forcing him hard. The Stockton man's blows were reaching their mark oftener and he was evidently the stronger; but just as the men broke apart from a sharp rally Kelleher gave a wicked swing with his left and his fist came in contact with Turner's jaw. The colored man went down on his face like a shot. As the seconds were counted off he made a struggle to rise, but it was a clean knock-out,and the spectators burst out with a roar of applause that lasted several minutes. A FATAL SET-TO.

THE SILVER BOOM. GREAT ENTHUSIASM IN MINING CIRCLES. The Miners All Jubilant and Confident That a New Era of Prosperity is Beginning to Dawn. San Francisco, April 25. —Not in many years has there been such excitement and enthusiasm in mining circles as to day, when the price of silver quoted was $1.05. Prominent mining men who have large interests in Alaska, and who were contemplating a northern trip, are still here waiting the ultimate results of the silver boom. John C. Green, who owns valuable mining properties in Alaska, said to night that the rise in silver meant mil lions of dollars to that possession, and would assist wonderfully in the rapid development of that Territory. Col. S. Wenbon, who has large silver interests in Nevada, said: "The spurt in the mining market and sudden rise in silver are giving a great impetus to the mining business, especially in Nevada. The boom has struck us in earnest, and there will be a general increase in the product of every silver mine in Nevada i and California. Today silver reached ,$1.05; if it goes up to $1.10 the result wiJl be that the mining interests of the Coast will be doubled at least. It will be a boom that will mark a new era on the Coast, and create a better feeling in all circles of business. There are lots of mines both in Nevada and California that are lying idle, sim ply because the owners cannot obtain the necessary capital to work them, but the outlook now is excellent. Things are brightening up, and I expect to see the biggest mining time ever on the Pacific Coast." THE CLAYTON INQUIRY. Illiterate Negroes Testify as to How V They Voted.

The ma jority of the negroes who testified were unable to read, and could not tell whether the tickets shown them were the one s they voted or not. They were positive, however, of having voted for Clayton; in very few cases the ballots showed that they voted for Breckinridge. In this State a number is written on the ticket corresponding to the number op posite the name of the voter in the poll books, so that it is very easy to ascer tain the ticket cast by each Voter.

I London, April 25.—The Herald today publishes an interesting account of an interview with Bismarck. The Prince said if he were in power he would not interfere with the workmen's May day.

He said tlie man who would yield to the present manifestations was a coward, and it was sometimes true benevolence to shed the blood of the riotous minority in defense of the law abiding majority. He declared that May day was not a dangerous enemy; the naming of the day for an assault need not be dreaded. It would be merely a sham fight like that of the Salvation Army.
