DAN CREEDON OUT
In Marvelously Quick
Time.
LASTED JUST TWO ROUNDS
And He Was a Pie for Lanky
Fitz.
CORBETT WILL BE THE NEXT.
The Australian Wonder in a Position
Now to Demand a Finish
Fight.
New Orleans. Sept. 26.— The clove
contest between Robert FitzsinimoDS of
Newark, N. J-. and Danny (Jreedon, hail
ing from St. Louis, for a purse of SoOOO,
took place in the arena of the Olympic
Club tu-night. They fought as middle
weights at 154 pounds. A feature of im
portance of the match was the beating it
has on a prospective meeting between
Fitz=itr.mcns and Corbett. Fiz*immons
has leen most persevering in his efforts to
secure a match with the champion heavy
weight and from time to time has been
nut off with the reminder that he was not
in his class. Corbett first named Choynski
as the man lanky Bob had to whip before
he could take off a match. Fitzsimmons
took on t c mate. 1 ), and then he was told
by the cliampiou that he would have to go
with Creedon to place himself In a posi
tion to talk fight
Comparatively iittlewas known of Cree
don by toe general public, although the
visitors from irt. Louis were enthusiastic
in their praise of the man. Despite that
fact, however, Fitzsimmons remained a
prohibitive favente throughout, his odds
being quoted from 3 to 10 to 1 to 8, while
as good as 5 to 2 could be had against
Crnedon.
When the men entered the ring for the
great contest Fitzsimmous looked indeed
formidable. lie was finely or two, and
but for traces ot prickly heat his !*kin was
r.s white as a baby's. His enormous
s-houlders and dies', when compared with
his narrow waist and hips, was pariicu
larlv maiked. ll is long, lithe anas and
limts were covered with sinuous muscles
that gave bvery indication of tertible force
and sDeeO. His every movement in the
ring was like that of a panther watching
his prey and ready t » spring upon it.
Creedon as he appeared presented a
much stockier look, and all t c lines of his
symmetrical body indicated strength aud
exce.lrftit condition. Fi'z*immons had
something the better in height and reach,
but as he stood with his legs further apart
than Creedon it was tot so marked as it
might have beeu.
There were probably 5000 spectators
present. Creedou was the first to enter
the ring and was closely followed by Fitz- |
Simmons. Creedon weighed 158 uouuas j
aud Fi'zsimnion* l">s|-2 pounds. The sec- !
<inds were: F< r Creedon — Thomas Tr<*
cey, Mickey Dunu, Tommy White and
Charles Daily; fur Fitzsiminons— Jack j
Dempsey, James Dwyer, Kid McCoy and j
. Sam li. Stern. After the usual instruc
tions tbe men advanced to the center of
v. ■•■ rinu, and the fight was on.
Round I—The1 — The men felt each other for an
opening. Fitzsimmona led. He was abort,
hut he forced the fighting and landed a
hard right on the head and Creadon scored j
a hard body blow. A moment later Cree
don caught a left on the chin, and one,
t*o, three on the head. The tneu had to |
be separated by the referee. Creedon
ducked beautifully from a right on the
head.
Round 2— Creedon missed a light left
swing for the head, but be landed two
rishts on the body. Fitzsimmous scored
two heavy rights and knocked Creedon |
down with a heavy right-hander on the
jaw. FrzMmmons landed a heavy right
on the jaw and the men had to be foiced
from a clinch. Creedon received two
neavy lights on the jaw and three rights
on the body. Creedon was then knocked
out by a heavy left on the jiw.
There was the wildest demonstration
ever seen? in the ring. Referee Duffy
awarded thH fight to Fitzslminous, who was
1 u'Uv cbeereJ. Referee DufFy announced
Fi ! Zsininions' challenge to Champion Cor
' bett, and the applause that followed was
immense. The work of Fitziimiuons in
the second round was the must maiveious
ever seen in this section of the country.
The three right-handers which Creedon
received on the head in one, two, thr^e
order arupzed the spectators aud Uaz*d the
rec pient, but they were not from an
ar ti - : i : i ug 1 stic point of view t > be comp
ared with the three heavy lefU delivered
in the one, two, ihree order on Creedon's
nose, which floored the latest aspirant for
middle-weight honors and caused Creedon
to fall the easiest prey of all Fizsimmons'
adversaries. Tbe main fighting was done
in the cci t^r of the ring. The actual fignt
ing time was four minutes and forty sec
onds. Creedon was carried to his corner,
gasping hard for breath. He was compar
atively unhurt during the first round, and
was taken to his corner smiling and chat
ting with his attendants. Tbe inference is
that he whs beaten in one minute and
forty seconds, the time of the second
round. Us seconds aud backers were
startled beyond measure and those who
wished for Fitzsimmons' defeat were over
awed with wonder at tbe tall man's skill.
After the fisiht was over there were knots
of men la different parts vf the mammctli
arena trying to ex lain to each other or
have it explained to them.
President VV. A. Schell nf the Olympic
Club, a few hours af:er Fhzsitnmons de
fea ed Creedon, sent the following tele
gram to Champion CorbPtt:
Fitzsimrcoos nas signed articles of agree
ment to meet you Id February for the woi Id's
chamiilouship, for a purse of $25,000 aud a
$10,000 side bet-
ONE MORE TO MEET.
Corbett Says Fitz Must Now Whip
Steve O'Donnell.
Xf.w York, Sept. 27.— The World this
ruoruiug publishes tlie following telegram
from Corbett, dated liangor, Me.: "I will
say oothing about Fitzsimmons at present.
He must meet Steve O'Donuell first before
I will notice htm."
Louisville, Ky., Sept 26.— Jim Hall,
the pugilist, to- eight issued a challenge to
figlit any man in the world, Corbett barred.
Hall expressed a prefereuce for Fitz<!m
uaons.
THE CUSTOMS UNION.
One Cannot Be t-ormed Without In
cluding: the United States.
London, Sept. 26.— The Times, com
menting on the Stntist's offer nf % prize of
10C0 guineas for the best scheme for an im
perial customs union, con<idTi it impos
sible that such a union fthocld exclude the
United Statt». "We are customers of the
United States of America for < xactly half
their domestic i roduee," the Statist save,
"and it may be assumed that ihe United
States will not lose such a customer with
out b> iog willing to maue concessions in
the direction uf a mutually advantageous
union. The gradual shifting of theceuter
of ihe coal and iron i dustrv from Great
Britaiu to the United States, believed by
some economists to be occurring, is another
serious reason in favor of commercial
union. The condi inns are such that the
United States and England must either
compete for or vi.i c to possess th« com
mand of tne world's c ninvrce. United,
we might safely defy competition from any
source. Toe people of the colonies would
also have au insuperable objection to Join
ing any union which excluded the United
Stnt-'e. For these a d iiiiiny other reasons
we ;ire driven to conclude that colonial ud
mperial interest! would be bettpr served
by keeping questions of political and com
mercial union entirely distinct. If a
customs union should be formed on any
other basis than that of free trade.except for
revenue purposes, it hardly appears to ad
mit of question that such a union would
have to be formed to include the United
States."
VISITED THE ADAMS.
But the Naval Court of Inquiry
Found No Evidence
To Show That the Accident to the
Cruiser Was Due to Neg
ligence.
Vallejo, Sept. 26. — The naval court of
inquiry to examine into the circumstances
regarding the grounding of the United
States ship Adams on St. Paul Island'
was continued at the navy-yard to-day.
After the board, of which Captaia C. S.
Cotton is president, had organiz-d in accor
dance with navy regulations they visited
t'u' Adams lying in the streau, and nil th»
officers and crew were given an opportu
ni y of en'ering any complaints they
might have regarding the handling of the
ship by tnp oflietrs in charge at the lime.
After careful inquiry among the officers
and men by members of the boanl not the
least particle of dissatisfacton could be
i found in any frrm.
All were perfectly satisfied and free to
| exuress that in tieir opinion nothing could
| have saved the ship Ironi striking on tbe
reef, as the fog was so dense tuat witii the
ti t ii- os: caution and lookouts ahead tiutii-
I ing coul 1 be distinguished half a length
from the ship. A stroug current was
running at the time of strikine, which
added to the unknown danger.
As soon as the board had c mpieted the
investigation they returned to the navy
yard. Only two wituesses were ex .mined.
Commander J. J. Brice, commanding of
ficer, who was on board sick with fever,
stated that on the morning of the ground
ing, August 2. he had gone on board from
St. George Ibland, where he had been ou
shore for treatment. The shis« was cot
under way ttbout l o'clock in tie after
noon ami started for St. Paul I-land,
forty in 1-s distant. Charts and reckon
ings were all correct, but a heavy fog set
ting in nothing could be seen, though
every precaution was taken to avoid dan- ;
ger or disaster.
The other witness called was Assistant
Surgeon Frederick J. B. Cord^iro, with
tbe records of the medical department,
showing that Commanding Officer Brice
was on the eck Use.
The boarl adj turned fit 3:30 until 10
o'clock Wednesday moruing, at which ti ne
Lieutenant Charles F. Norton, in command
at the time of t'.e grounding, which oc
curred at 5:20 p. m., and Lieutenant Wil
liam P. Elliott wiil be called. Charts and
reckonings wisl be produced, also bailing
directions to show the treachetou9 char
acter of the currents and reef-. Inquiry
wi 1 be most exhaustive in c aracter himl
when completed will b« sent direct to the
Secretary of the Navy for consideration.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Town of Lincoln Is Almost
Wiped Out.
Lincoln, Sert. 26.— Last nizht about
one hour ot midnight tbfo town was vis
ited by a seri v* conflagration.
Nearly a whol« block in the business
portion of the town was burned.
The losses are: A. C Flemine, two
dwellings. $500, no Insurance; J. Neville,
blacksmith-shop and stock, £2uoo, no in
surance; J. L. Pftty.variety-.Htoie and ice

Toe fire originated in the blacksmith
shop of J. li. Neville from an unknown
cause aDd raged furiously for nearly two
hours. Several people narrowly escaped
beian burned. A man named Jasper Dac
jjett, who was sleeping in the stable, was
seriously burned about the head and feet.
The railroad company dispatched a lire
train from Kocklio to aid in quelling the
Haiues, but the train arrived too late to be
of great assistance. It was only through
the efforts of Gladding, Mcßean & Co.,
with their excellent equipment of fiie
protection, that another block was not
added to the list. They stretched nsaily
one thousand feet of ho<e 1 1 the large bay
warehouse, which repeatedly caught on
tire. This saved another block of valua
ble property. Several cars of lumber and
otiier material were 6aved by the willing
hands of the people, who pushed them to
places of safety.

HERE IS A VERY PRETTY FIGHT.
Which Will Probably Result in
Making the State Safely Repub
lican as of Old.
Omaha, Sept. 26.— Before the Demo
cratic State convention was called to order
this afternoon the situation was chaotic.
The Bryan tree silver forces had selected
E i P. Smith for temporary chairman, but
the State Cenral Committee held a meet
ing to name some oue who would represent
the administration. The !ree silver men
had also decided to have W. D. Oldham of
Kearny for ivrnianent presiding ifficer,
nnd this, too, was a thorn in the side of
tlio administration men. I'y a vote of
30 to 3 the Central Cuuniittee decided to
recommend Judge llatt Miller of David
City for temporary chairman, and allow
the convention to choose a permanent
officer.
The convention was called to order at
2:35 o'clock by Chairman Eucld M rin of
tbe State Central Committee. El P.
Smith was made temporery chairman
n t r Matt Miller had been named and
had w ithdrawu. The convention then
adj urned un il 8 p. m.
The Bryan free-silver faction had charge
of the niHchmery of the convention when
it recouvened at 8 o'clock. The creden
tials committee reported all the contests
in favor of Bryan, leaving the adminU ra
tion a l. l -«ilver element a small mint ri'V in
the convention — scarcely 100 delegotes.
W. 1). Oiriham of Kearny was made per
mauent chairman aud announced the con
vention ready for nominations.
Dr. Edwards of Lancaster, among great
demonstrations of enthusiasm, placed
Congressman Bryan in nomination for
United States Senator. He wns chosen by
acclamation, and replied in n speech pledg
ing himsplf to work for free silver aud
against mor.ouoliHS.
After wran^i g until midn'ght over the
question of fusion the matter was post
poned, pending the report of the commit
tee on p.atform. The n inority ret oit was
similar to the majority, with the exception
of tne clause relating to f nance, wl ich
declared lor a gold basis. 1 was wholly

and that all men are created equal, the in

Stites Senators by tie people advocated
hm'l an amend men: to th« constitution
making a President ineligible to re
election.
The report at length reviews the A. P.
A. question and denounces that movement
in <fv*»re terms a> d conclude*, with the
following clause In fav'ir of silver:
"We indorse the language u=ed by Hon.
John G. Carlisle in 18SS, when h*» de
nounced the 'conspiracy' to destroy silver
money, as tbe 'most gigantic crime of this
or any ( ther age,' and we ngree with him
that 'the consummation of t-uch a scheme
would ultimately entail more misery upon
the human race than all tin* wars, pesi
l»nces anJ famines that e\>r occurred i:i
the history of the world.' We favor the
inimprtiite restoration nf the free ana un
limited coinage of (told and silver at the
present ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the consent ol any other nation on
earth.
"We believe that money hsued by the
Government whether gnM, silver or paper,
Fhould l>« made a full legal tender for all
debts, public an r i private, and that no citi
zen shouM be permitted to demonetize by
contract that wtiich the Government makes
mo ey by law."
After the adoption of the rla'form the
leaders of the lu«i md anti-fusion fac

Holcomb, the P.ipolisi candidate for
Governor, was indorsed at midnight by a
large majority.

REFINLRIES SHUT DOWN.
The Trust Mas No Raw Sugar to
Work Upon.
Philadelphia, Sept. 26— The Frank
lin, Kmghi and Spreckels refineries in this
county, operated by the sugar trust, will
shut down next Saturday. Iv addition to
these tbe McMahon refinery, which is nut
controlled by the trus*, will also shut
down.
The shutting down of the refineries will
throw Nome 3600 men out of work. There
is said to be a lack of raw sugar, as tbe
present crop is about exhausted aud the
n«w crop does not come iv before tbe first
of tbe year.
This condition of affairs is caused by the
enormous production during the months of
June, July and August. It is the opinion
of the sugar men that tbe shutting down
of the refineries will not tend to advance
prices.

NO MAN IS A SLAVE.
Strikers Had a Right to Quit
Work.
Debs May Have Been Impracticable,
but He Was Not
Criminal.
Chicago, Sept. 26.— Arguments in the
Deba case were continued to-day. Attor

Railroad.
At the conclusion of Mr. Daniel's argu
ment for the prosecution C. S. Darrow
spoil!- for the defense. Da said the de
fendants had not committed any wrong
and declared that every man had the right
t<> abandon his position either for a good
or bar? reason. No court could put * citi
zen into a condition of servitude. These
defendants micbt have used bid judgment
and the scheme of Debs may have been an
impracticable one; but when urcjndice

will admit that these respondents were
actuated by the highest and holiest of mo
tives — that of bettering the condition of
their fellow-men.
Washington-, 'Sept. 26.— The United
States Couuiiisi at panted by the
President to investigate the Chicago
strike, consisting of Commissioner of
Labor Wright, ex-Commissioner of Labor
Kernan and Judge \Y»rthington, reas
sembled in this city to-day to hear any
further testimony which should be volun
teered. Only two witnesses appeared.
One was A. J. Ambler of this city,
who claimed his wile owned the Pullman
truck patents, which were the basis of
Pullman's gigantic fortune, and who
wanted t» he heard on questions arising
out of tins claim. The other was a local
temperance enthusiast. The Commission
refused to go into these questions. Kernau
suggested that in pointing out any remedies
for the settlement of future differences the
report must necessarily imply, if it does
no' in terms, the condemnation of one side
ir both.
LAND CASHS DECIDED.
The Peralta Grant in New Mexico
Has Been Rejected.
Santa Fe, X. Mex., Sept. 26.— 1n the
Untied Stat-<» Liand Court a rehearing of
the case of William Pinkerton against the
United States concerning the Gervacio
M la i grant of 575,000 acres in Mora
County was refused. The print was re
leased some time ago and the claimant
applied for a new trial.
The (iovernnifent also gained a victory
in tbe Canyon de Chanm grant. In this
case th« clalman', the Rio Arriba Land
and Cfctlle Company, applied for a confir
mation of over 472,000 acres included
within the boundaries of this grant.
The court con tinned the title toon!v3000
acres, being nil thtt part situated in the
Cbama River Canyon, which had been
parceled out and allotted la severally to
the settlers. All over and above the actual
allotments were rejected.
This sustains tbe position ttken by
Unit-Hi States Attorney 11-vno!ds that the
surplus lands in community grants nevr
passed to the grantee;, but remaiued
vested in :he Government.
The court eutered an order dismissing
the Peralta grant claim, which was he^rl
yesterday. This was the greatest ot the
Cochin casea, being a claim for 400,000
acres, Deluding Canada de Cocbiti anil
other grants.
The action greatly simp'ifies the Cochii
ront r oversv. The court announced to-day
that It would decide the original Cochiti
caso by Saturday or Monday.

basis of a sound manufacturing system; that
by importation into our own potts of these sta
ples we shall at one and th same time encour
age the building up of a State and local manu
facturing .system which snail free our people
from tlie exactions of manufacturing trusts
3000 miles distant, at the same time by encour
aging the importation of sucb s aples stimulate
a system or international exchange, and thus
directly foster and encourage the export of our
manufactured products; these products in
which we excel the nations of the earth.
\Y* cordially indorse the earnest and pa
tiiotic efforts of the last Democratic Congress
to lelleve the Ameiirau people from the cor
rupt nd demoralizing influences ot gigantic
trusts which are conceded to be the necessary
outgrowth of thirty years of class privileges
given to organized capital l>y tbe Republican
party and renounce me disloyalty of those
so- called Democratic Senators who have made
their reform pledges less full iLan the
policy of the Democratic pany requrled. Aud
we also most heat tily approve ot the policy of
the Democratic party which seeks by a reason
able Income tax lo compel the gigantic fortunes
accuniulaied by the beneficial les of Repub
lican class lei:l>la;ion to contribute and pay
their fair share ot the tax burdens of tbe Gov
ernment, mid thus in some measure lighten the
imnosi ions which the tax policy of the Repub
lican party for thirty years has loaded upou tl;e
dully consumptiou of thefeoide.
W <■ c .11 the attention <,f the voters of this
State to the Lypociincal and vaccillatlne ac
tion of the Republican State convention,
wherein it first declared against the use of sll
vei as money and then at the dictation of iis
oftiec-s ekers and nominees for Congress re
luctuutly gave sliver au equivocal indorsement,
and we point to :his as a conspicuous example
of X publican duplicity; and we demand the
full aud unlimited coinage of both silver and
gold in the i tlo of 1G to "I, and demand tbe
Passage or such laws as will make silver re
ceiv;ibl for all debts, public and private, and
eQMI >n puirhasing power with gold.
Whkukas, The Democratic party has al
ways been the f i lend of the toiling masses of
theieopie: -.lie friend of the laboi lug classes;
the piotec;ors of the rights of property and
capital ami zealous in tne due enforcement of
the law, with equal rights to all, and Is lv
h- arty sympathy with the efforts of laboring
men to secure full and fair compensation for
their loll; and whereas, tbe Democratic party is
composed of laboring men who, by inge uious
machlneiy, pateuied and made by them, have
reduced labor to a science, they are entitled to
at least a portion of tne benefits thereby con
ferred; and we favor the establishment of a
Stale board of arbitration, by which there may
be secured a peaceful settlement of all disputes
betweeu employes and employers.
We are la favor of the passage by tbe Legis
lature of a law providing that upon tbe entry
of a judgment of foreclosure of a mortgage on
real estate, an execution or order of sale shall
not be issued until two years subsequent to the
entry of such Judgment; and that sale shall
then be made with no per cent or redemption,
and we favor the amendment to our present
law relative to tbe foreclosure of mortgages on
real estate In such a manner as to preclude the
rlcht of the mortgage to a deficiency Judgment
alter applying the proceeds of tbe sale of mort
gaged land to the payment of the mortgage in
debtedness and costs, and that th ■ mot t gage
be limited In the satisfaction ot tils mortgage
debt to the mortgaged lands. .
We denounce the Reilly refunding bill a* un
patriotic, and demand that our Representatives
in Cougress shall use every effort to further
the foreclosure of (lie Government mortgage
on the Union and Central Pacific railroads, and
that one transcontinental road shall b- owned,
controlled and operated by the Government
and for the benefit of the people. Whereas, the
question of what is known as the Indemnity
lien lands and of unearned hinds of the Noitn
em Pacific Railroad Company has been pend
ing for tbe last fifteen or twenty years,' and the
question is still unsettled, therefore be It
jiesolied. That we demand a speedy settle
ment of said question and pledge our repre
sentatives in Congress If elected to that end.
We favor the assessment of real estate once
In two years for purposes of tax tion.
We denounce ih Republican administration
of the State as extravagant,. Incompetent and
factional.
We favor Government aid and control of and
demand tue speedy construction of the Nica
ragua canal.
We favor th creation of a national Intnttoa
commission and tbe expenditure of public
moneys liberally for irrigation imrpose*.
We favor tne election of UniieU States Seua
tors by a dlreci vote of the people. We de
nounce and deplore the fact that tne Governor
of tbis Slate has persistently aud stubboi nty re
fused to oider an investigation of tbe Stale
penitentiary grain-bag scandal, loug ago ex
po«ed by the Seattle Telegraph, ami we de
mand a ilmd investigation of die affairs of Unit
institution and t tie immediate re form thereof.
hkheas, There lias recently sprung into
existeiice a secret oath- bound political or
ganization unaei- the misleading title of tue
American Protective Association and Having
for Its avowed object political prosciiptloD on
account of religious belief, be it
Resolved, That we, the Democrats of the
State of Washington, in convention assembled,
denounce said organization as un-American
and contrary to the fuudamental spirit ot our
coustitution, which guarantees freedom ot cou
science to all citizens of the republic.

WINE AND BRANDY
California to Supply tte
World.
FINDING A NEW MARKET.
Europe More Than Anxious to
Be Supplied.
GERMANY TAKES THE LEAD.
Ordering Vast Quantities of the
Product for the Use of
tier Armies.
Washington*, Sept. 26.— The Depart
ment of Agriculture has very encouraeing
accounts of the growth of consumption
and increased lavor of American wines
alruad. A catalogue received from a
prominent wine-dealer in London gives a
list of places iv England where California
wines are sold. The list includes some of
the leading hotels and dubs in London.
A member of this firm was sent to the
World's Fair by tlitf British Governnieut
to report on American wines. Bis report
has noi yet been made. The firm's trade
mark is a big trre, and a receat printing
order for lithographic work designed to
advertise these wares cost 512.000. This
gentleman when in this country
called upon G. W. Bill, chief of
t tie division of records and editing at
the Department ol Agriculture, and ex
pressed his amazement that it was diffi
cult to get American wines at lending:
hotels in this country, and t:iat American
hotel-keepers and wine-dealers were in
clined to discredit these native products.
The Englishman also expressed the con
viction that the dependency of the world
in ihe future tut brandygrapes would have
to bo on this country.
During the year the German military
authorities have contracted for tne mili
tary supply of brandy with California
companies. The order is lor nearly 200,000
gallons. California wines are also begin
niui to attract attention in Denmark, Hol
land and Belgium.
One difficulty in introducing American
wines into Europe is tbat their wine
dealers are accustomed to a year's credit,
while American dealers are loth to grant
more than sixty days. American makers
have not yet learned the secret of cams
for their product while it is aging. As a
result the toreign dealers buy now and
bold it while it is aging, which requires
that capital be kept locked up a loug time.
While the cruiser Chicago was in Eng
land the azent of the Agricultural Depart.
meut sent a case of California nines to
Admiral Erben. At one of the many
dinners given to English officers of high
station on board tbe Chicago these wines
were upon the table and elicited many
encomiums from the euests.
TRAIN BROKE IN TWO.
It Crashed Through and Wrecked a
Union Depot.
Lafayette, Ina., S< j Dt. 27.— At 1:30
this morning a Lake Erie and Western
freight train going Ea-t broke in two on a
heavy grade near town.
The detached cars crashed Into the

ran into the Fott^ral Company's shoe
factory. An alarm of fire was turned in
and the department began a search for
victims.
A cabman named Washburn is fatally
injured. It is feared that others are buried
in the debris, as the depot was thronged
withpporls at the time. The property
loss will be about §20,000.
