15U sa Jl I.V 7. IHS9. The Illustrated Herald on Sale. This morning, and hereafter until further notice, the Los Angeles Illustrate Herald will be for sale over the counters of our business office. It realizes all that we have claimed for it, and it is, unquestionably, the handsomest publication of the ever issued in California.

In the artistic character of the illustrations and the value of tbe letter-press the tu.uatkated Herald is absolutely unique. Everyone who can afford to do so, should send a copy of it to his friends in the East. It will do untold good The pictorial and statistical matter will do much to dieahuse the minds of the Eastern people of the stories so industriously circulated to the prejudice of this section. take great pride in the fact that this beantiful miracle of the art preservative cf all issued from the Hbrald Job Office. Brawn and Muscle on Top.

Three States in which the law against prise fights is plain and stringent are now trying through their Governors, to keep th9ir territory from becoming the theatre of the bruising match between Sullivan and Kilrain. They have all issued proclamations denounciog the penalty of the law against the combatants, and have sent special instructions to the Sheriffs of the border counties enjoining them to be particularly vigilant, and to arrest the principals if thej attempt to fight the battle within their jurisdictions. The Governor of Mississippi has gone beyond the limit of mere formal instruction, and offered a reward $1,000 for the delivery to the authorities of Sullivan and Kilrain. With the evidence of so much Executive determination to prevent the fight, and the co operation, apparently, of the three Governors to preserve their respective States from the threatened breach of the peace and violation of the law, one would thii that the fight could not possibly take place either in Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama. But the men who are managing the business affaiis of the pugilists, and the pugilists themselves, seem to treat the Gubernatorial manifestoes with the ntmost indifference.

They are pursuing their object without the slightest regard to what tbe Governors or Sheriffs may say or do, and seem to act as if they knew there would or couid be no interference with their plans. They have openly chartered trains to take them and their followers to the rendezvous, and are selling tit kets to tbe inner and the outer circles openly. It is hardly to be believed that these men are deliberately carrying cut a game of swindle, and that they intend to gather in all the shekels they can get with a knowledge that it will be impossible for tbe fight to take place. We say that such a programme is hardly to be credited, because all tbe circumstances touching upon the affair Eeem to point to a battle to take place in good faith. TLe principals have endured a very long and painful term of training, public excitement bas been worked up studiously to the highest pitch, the sporting world has been put on the rive everywhere for the event, and the men who are behind the priLcipals are putting up their money liberally upon their selections.

Tbe element amongst the sporting men in the United States who stand highest in their class for honesty and fair-dealing are treating the event as one that is sure to take place, and, indeed, everybody whose opinion ought to be of value in a case of this kind, seems to view the surface official denouncements of the fight as Koko did the matrimonial advice of having nothing to do with the case." It is not for us to say bow the power of the three Governors is to be set at naught and their efforts to prevent the fight from taking place to be circumvented but it does appear to us, in view of the indifference of the pugilists and their friends to the Executive pronouncements, as if the "spoits" had, in this instance, a "poll" upon which they rely with the greatest confidence. Indeed it looks, at this distance, as if there was an understanding, tub rota, with the authorities, that if the managers of the fight will exercise cunning and discretion, the officers cf the law will find it convenient not to be able to discover the locale of the battle-field in time to squelch the event. There is something in human nature that impels nine men out of ten to take, at first a slight and then an active, interest in a contest like this that has imperceptibly become National. Of course it is shameful and brutal to permit two men to stand op in the ring and batter each other into jelly with their hardened fists, propelled by the brawn and muscle and will-power of tbe practiced pugilist. It would be impossible to imagine an audience of American ladies sitting in the Coliseum and turning down their thumbs as a sentence of dispatch against the pleadings from the arena of a dying gladiator.

Nit could we realize tbat the of our society could, under any cir cuinstances, appreciate the intense spirit of enjoyment evinced by the cream of THE LOS AUGELES DAILY HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 7. 1889. Madrid's aristocracy when witnessing a right between the choicest of bulls and the most popular and expert raatadores of the Bpauish capital. Our civilization, with its humatiitiep, has advanced us beyond thep9riod when we can look on with pleasure or even equanimity at any display in which brute force is the chief and central factor. Yet, polished and sensitive as we have become as a people, we doubt whether, in a contest such as the one which iB to coma off tomorrow, there are many persons, outside of the most sublimated and refined natures, that do not feel au interest in the event.

We would stop it if we could we would invoke the law and all its power to prevent it; but still, if take place it must, we would have our preference. Perhaps something like this feeling pervades the people of the localities where the fight is likely to come off, aod perhaps it is the that we have of late years had a great revival in the arts that promote physical development, that tend to make men capable of self-defense wherever they may be and under every contingency, that has produced a popular desire to see the actual results of a trial of fists between two human animals who have been trained to the very perfection of brawn and muscle development and in the science of attack and defence with nature's arms. We all deplore that this hrutal contest is to take place; but we shall all look with interest for its outcome, and read the reports of the conduct of the champions during the great onlsal with a zest not born of the and veneering and culture and refinements of our age, but inherent away down in our relic perhaps of heredity transmitted to us from ancestors who streaked their nake.l bodies with war paint, assaulted each other with weapons of Hint, and tortured their captives with fire. The first demand of an enlightened American statesmanship is the repeal of the Interstate Commerce law and tho second is the adoption of an intelligent system of bounties to encourage an American merchant marine. For years past there seems to have been the most absolute indifference as to the well directed efforts of foreign powers to cripple the United Btates, and to filch from her sources of profit distinctively her own.

Senator Reagan, and the other able gentlemen who were mainly instrumental in fabricating the Interstate Commerce bill are patriots who have rendered great services in Congress, and who deserve recognition on many grounds, but they scarcely possess the degree of experience necessary in adjusting transportation difficulties. Everyone wo has the interest of American railways and of the Pacific at heart should agitate for the repeal of a law which builds up Canada and British Columbia at the expense of the United States. The work is a difficult one, but the sooner the effort is made the sooner we may hope to see a heavy handicap lifted from American commerce. The Editorial Association of Southern California will meet in San Diego on Tuesday at its midsummer session, which will last for four days. The members who reside north and east of Los Angeles will take the 4 :40 p.m.

train tomorrow for San Diego by the Coast route. It is expected that this meeting will be very fully at'enr'ed by the editors cf Southern California, as they have nearly all signified their intention of participating. Whilst it is the intention of the association to combine business with pleasure at their mid-summer meetings, yet tbe proceedings at this reunion will be of a very interesting and important character and will relate very generally to the best methods of discussing the great material interests of our section and of disseminating throughout the United States the information gathered by the newspaper men. The debates that will be held upon a number of propositions untier this head will be very interesting, and substantial benefit to the whole section will be evolved out of them. From all accounts the movements of real estate up north, both in Washington Territory, Oregon and the northern and central counties of California, have come to a standstill, and transactions in property have shrunk at a remarkable rate.

The milk has all been sucked out of the northern cocoanut and the next great movement of settlement and travel will be reported from Southern California. The fact is that tbe cheapest real estate in the United States, considering what can be realized from it, can now be found in Los Angeles and the adjoining counties. Our advantages of climate and other attractions remain precisely what they were during the boom," so that conditions unusually favorable to the newcomer exist here on all bands. It seems to be quietly assumed that the Ou fall Sewer bonds will pass without any question. We do not see that there is any warrant for this assumption, and believe that it is a very debatable question as to whether they will be voted.

The right of way question has taken a better shape, but there is a strong sentiment against throwing the sewage away, with immense quantities of sandy and porous soil adjoining the city, that can be made valuable by tbe use of this fertilizer. The proposition of getting a twothirds vote for the bonds is exceedingly problematical. Mrs. Penman, the slayer of Dancingmaster Bul ivan, passed through Los Angeles yesterday on her way to Ban Francisco, having shaken the dust of San Bernardino off her feet. She claims lo have been th 9 victim of a great deal of misrepresentation.

She was accompanied by her little girl, a mere child, who is said to have been the victim of Sullivan's brutal lust. The weather clerk during the past three days has acquitted himself of all arrears in the matter of high temperatures. They have been the first really hot days of the seas ra, however, and will do tbe grapes a world of good. THE BRUISERS. and Jake Both in the Creole State.

KILKAIJi GETS THROUtiII SA FKLY- Sporting Men Discussing the Situn tiou in the Crescent City. Straws. I Associated Proas Dlsoatchos to the Ukrald. Nbw Orleans, July QOMB and Crescent depot was thronged with people awaiting the arrival of the Kilrain party this morniug. They arrived at 11:15 o'clock, and were received at tbe depot by an irauier.se crowd of people, who desired to see tho Baltimore man, and the way had to be cleared for them by the police.

The party drove to the St. Charles Hotel, thence to the rooms of the Southern Gymnastic Club, where a reception was tendered to Kilrain, who will be the guest of the club while here. Kilrain looks well, and seoms to be in excellent spirits. He will soar to-night at an exhibition for the benefit of the local sports. THE KIC.HT WILL HK HITTER.

As the time approaches for the great mill it becomes more apparent thai tbe fight ill be one of the most determined on record. The principal reason for this assertion ia the bitterness which is felt, not alone as between Sullivan and Kilrain, but on the part of the two men who are training the two athletes. The fight will not be alone for the supremacy and the stakes, but a spirit of revenge for real or fancied insults will pour over the ring and nerve the two giants to do or die. Sullivan lias by far the largest following. New Orleans is most overwhelmingly for him, and thinks he will win.

Notwithstanding this feeling, there is not tbe slightest indication but that fair play will be meted out to both combatants. PLANS PROGRESSING SMOOTH Plans for the fight are progressing smoothly. The opinion of the Attorney- General of Louisiana that there is no law of the State prohibiting a prize fight has eased the minds of the officials and the fight will come off, although the exact locality has not yet been made public. Sullivan etock is still booming. Bets of $1,000 to $5,000 are reported.

It is reported the programme for the fight will be changed at the last moment and that it will take place in Alabama. A heavy rain commenced falling at 10 o'clock. The streets are flooded. KILRAIN IN PRIME CONDITION. Mitchell said Kihain is in better condition now than he has ever been before in his life, and he is as skillful as be is strong.

He hoped the people would ac cord his man fair play, and he felt sure Kilrain would beat the big slugger. Pony Moore aud others of the party expressed themselves in like terms, and likened the two men to a quarter horse aud a mile runner, comparing Sullivan to lie former and Kilrain to the latter. Kilrain is in the very pink of condition, and far superior in any respect to what he was a few years ago, while they had many reasons to I elieve that Sullivan has deteriorated. There appeared to be some fear in the minds of some of the party that the great enthusiasm aroused in the city in betialf of Sullivan might cause tbe crowd to be to the big man, but assurance was given them that the Baltimore man would be given fair play, and this appeared to satisfy them. The party and escort arrived at the gymnasium of the Southern Athletic Club about noon, and a rousing welcome was given Kilrain and party.

PACIFIC COASTERS ON DECK. Col. A. Andrews and son acd a party are registered at the St. Charles Hotel.

Col. Andrews came all the way from San Francisco to see the big battle. He faith in the earnestness of the two men, and came simply and solely to see one or the other man win the fight. Col, Andrews is an admirer of athletics, and has seen most of the big fights fought in his generation. When asked who would win the fight he replied: "Kilrnin, I believe, but I want to see a good fight, and may the better man be the victor.

Young Andrews does most of the talking for the party, and he has pinned his faith and a good deal of his money to Stillivao. The Andrews brought with them a magnificently carved gold-headed cane, which is to be presented to the loser of the fight. Tbey will return to San Francisco as soon as the big mill is over. i The Denver contingent of sporting men arrived this morning, and are quartered at the St. Charles.

THE TIME MAY BE CHANGED. The time when the cars will leave may be changed at the last moment in order to avoid too much publicity, and if matters are rushed, as it is expected they will be, the articles of agreement will be mutually waived in so far as the time of fighting is concerned, and the men will go into the ring when the first faint rays of daylight appear in the sky. Unless the opinion of able ring followers is wrong, the fight will hardly last over an hour and if this be the caee, the entire party can get back to the city before the Governor gets out of bed, unless on this occasion he stays up all night. In order to avoid the possibility of arrest, it is stated today that Sullivan will loave the city at the conclusion of the battle, and as soon as he can dress himself again in street clothep. This is, of course, if he is not too severely punished to travel.

It is fair to presume that Kilrain will follow the same line. The Sullivan people are speculating on Kilrain's pluck, and the Kilrain men are worrying themselves about Sullivan's condition. All these topics are subjects for discussion, but it is rumored that the threat of the Governor to interfere with the fight by means of military influer cc, was most talked of at the hotels among the friends of the two men this afternoon. NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE. "I have consulted legal talent," said one of the managers, "and we have found that there is nothing on the Louisiana hooks tbat can touch us for prize fighting.

The Attorney-General and the District Attorney are both of the opinion that no law can reach us, save the trifling one, perhaps, of fighting and disturbing tbe peace. But the fight is to take place on private property, far removed from any populated section. We have taken every precaution to insure order. There is nothing in the world that will prevent a decision of the merits of the two men. If the military power of the State ie called out, and is able to reach the scene of battle, then the mill might temporarily be postponed, but if we are interfered with in our rights the people in authority will be held to legal account.

We have a reputation as sporting men to maintain. The fUht has been written up with unusual thoroughness and we cannot afford to be at the head of a fluke. But the battle ground is on private property, and I cannot see how wo can possibly be interfered with. I promise you there will be a tight on Monday." CAN'T KidHT IN MISSISSIPPI. The Tinwa-Deniucrat Jackson, special says: By the disposition made today of the troops belonging to the National Guard of Mississippi, the several railroads leading into tho State from Louisiana have been covered so as to prevent, if possible, the fight between Sullivan and drain taking place in Mississippi.

Steps have also been taken to secure tho arrest of the parties should they by chance manage to avoid the officers of the law and fight in the State. The opinion prevails here that the vigorous measures adopted and put in force by Governor Lowry will deter the pngilists from attempting to fight in Mississippi, but they will fight in Louisiana. A benefit was tendered Pr jfessor Mike Ponovan, of New York, tonight at the Charles Theater, which was well attended, lake Kilrain, Charley M. Mitchell, Pony Moore and Messrs. Forrester, of Buffalo, and Masterson, of Denver, occupied a box.

At the Kilrain party were driven to their hotel, and retired for the night. LI4MI ill THE him it. New with sponli 'lni kilialii's pllnll. Nbw Orleans, July 6 Tbe St. Charles Hotel ie the headquarters of many of tiie visiting sports and nearly all the news paper men.

Scenes are very animated this afternoon. The guests are mostly pugilists from every section of the conn try, sporting characters who never missed a fight and correspondents who have done every battle dining the last fifteen years. They mingle freely and each has his opinion as to the outcome of the great he expresses with uncommon frequency. Kilrain, accompanied by Charley Mitchell, came to the hotel about 1 o'clock, and was followed by a numerons crowd which was anxious to get sight of the man who is to stand up against Sullivan. While the city is already well filled with visi'ing sports, a big crowd is expected tomorrow, and no doubt suitable accommodations will be at a premium.

It is understood the first train tbat departs for the battle ground will pull out about 1 o'clock Monday morning, to be followed an hour later by a second train which will contain the spectators. It is expected that both men will enter the ring between 6 and 8 o'clock Monday morning. MCST KEEP OCT OP ARKANSAS. Little Hock, July Eagle tonight received a telegram from Joseph Kvans, stating that application had been made for a fighting ground for Sullivan and Kilrain on Mount Nebo, and asking if the Governor would permit the fight. Governor Eagle announced tbat he will exert all his efforts to prevent a fight on Arkansas soil, and that he hopes the Stn-riffs of the respective cauntes will nee d'iigence in intercepting and arresting the pugilists.

THE BALTIMORE CHAMI'ION's RECEPTION. At an early hour this morning the members ef the Reception Committee ol the Southern Athletic Club, and Frank Stevenson, Wm. M. Harding, Mike Donovan, Professor Dennis B. Butler and several others were at tbe Queen and Crescent depot, and boarded a special train which was to proceed out on the road to meet the 'Kilrain party.

At Pearley station the reception party boarded the train and were introduced to Jake Kilrain, Charlie Mitchell, Pony Moore, the London performer and father-in-law to Mitchell; John Murphy, the bottle-holder, and Joseph Roche, of Baltimore. Kilrain, who was suffering from a cinder in eye, was quiet and reserved, and appeared ill at ease at the reception he had received. He appeared inclined to shun observation, but when addressed his face brightened and he answered all questions cheerfully. Meantime a very iarge crowd of people had gathered at the Queen and Crescent depot in the city. As the train drew in with Kilrain on board a great cheer was givon, and the crowd swarmed about the coaches.

The services of the police were called into requisition to disperse the crowd and open up a passage-way for Kilrain and party, who thereupon made their way to carriages which were in waiting. All along the streets the sidewalks were lined with people anxious to see the Baltimore champion, and at the irymnasium a large crowd congregated. Kilrain, Mitchell, Pony Moore and Joe Roche, after alighting from their car riages, proceeded to the rooms assigned to them in the handsome residence adjoining the gymnasium. THE GIANT STRIPPED. Kilrain was ushered into tbe showerbath rooms, where an Associated Press reporter saw him stripped.

Kilrain's flesh appeared white and very firm. His muscular development is as perfect as his anatomical idiosyncracy can allow. His chest is quite in proportion to his uncommon height, while his back iB markedly sinewy. His arms are long and symmetrical: his legs are well proportioned, with the thighs and calves well rounded and hard. Aftor emerging from their bath, Kilrain and Mitchell returned to their rooms, where prominent members of the club presented Kilrain a fljral design, a crercent and anchor.

Kilrain, somewhat embarrassed, responded gracefully, aud a sumptuous lunch was then brought out. Kilrain and Mitchell did not partake. HE BREAKS HIS FAST. At 2 o'clock the Kilrain party were driven to a restaurant where dinner had been ordered for members of the Southern Athletic Club. Kilrain, who had not eaten anything for twenty-four hours, and who was ravenously hungry, ate a good-sized spring chicken, after which he pathetically appealed to Mitchell, his trainer, to be allowed a second one.

After some parley a compromise was made upon a small-Bized broiled pullet, the whole being washed down with three glasses of champagne After dinner Kilrain, Mitchell, Pony Moore and Joe Roche re entered a carriage and took a drive along the asphalt road on Bt. Charles avenue, to Carrollton and return. When they reached tbe gymnasium, among the prominent pugilists present were Domioick McCaffrey Billy Maddeo and Prof. Donovan. MITCHELL INTERVIEWED.

While the party were examining the gynasium Mitchell was interviewed. He said Kilrain was in good condition, weighed 200 pounds, meatiured 43 inches around the chest and 16 inches around tbe biceps. His condition was as good as a man could be gotten into this hot weather. Kilrain has stood tbe trip well, and all the talk about his having been drunk at Cincinnati ia false. Kilrain has not been in the ring since December 19, 1887, when he met Jem Smith.

Since then he has gained in experience and was in tar better condition than he wad then. He thought there was a big chance of Kilrain's whipping Sullivan, notwithstanding the talk about Kilrain's condition, which was all bosh. The best judge of Kilrain's condition, he said, will be Sullivan, after they meet Monday next. Mitchell was satisfied with it vow, and if Sullivan could beat now he could do it any time hereafter. He proposed to give Kilrain just enough exercise to keep his blood in condition and stimulate his appetite.

SI I.I.IVAM, KettniK Two lo lino In Ilia Favor. Ilia Last Day'n Training. New Orleans, July G. continues to improve with the approach ol the momentous day, which is to make or mar him forever, but Muldoon's watchfulness aud scientific care shows no abatement. Whatever the issue of the tight, Muldoon's reputation as an unequalled trainer is established beyond the possibility of dispute or cavil.

He found his man a physical wreck, weakened by disease aud bloated dissipation, and in three months he has brought him to a condition of physical perfection which is the wonder of the pugilistic world. Men who have known Sullivan all their lives, and have seen him in all ids battles, declare that he was never more fit in all his fistic career. Some even go so far as to assert that Le is better than ever. This view is open to dispute, however, because of a trifle too much flesh the region of the sumach. MI'LDOON INTEBROGATII), An Associated Press reporter called noon Muldoon this afternoon and found him serenely confident.

Sullivan is all right," said he. "I I aye more at stake than anyone else than Sullivan himself, and I am satisfied with his condition. All I ask for now is for the fight to come off." Sullivan weighs 202 pounds today, and will probably take on two a day more until the fight begins, which wilt bring him up to 207 pounds. He is in excellent spirits, singing aud chatting merrily. PINK PITCH PLASTERS.

Sullivan will go into the ring wearing a plaster of pine pitch, which will encircle his body like a woman's corset and cover almost as much space. It is made of buckskin, lined with pine pitch. It is said to have a very bracing and strengthening effect on those who wear it. An Associated Press repoiter asked Mitchell today if the wearing of such a plaster would furnish ground for technical objection. He replied it would not, leaving the impression on the reporter's mind that not only Sullivan out Kilrain also will go into the ring braced up with a pitch plaster.

JOHN OUT-EATS JAKE. Sullivan spent today much the same as yesterday. He rose at 7 o'clock, took a bath, ate hreatfast and afterwards received the attentions of a barber. His breakfast consisted, as usual, of boiled chicken, tea and toast and grits. While in the barber's hands he fell asleeep Muldoon did not rouee him, but let him sleep an hour.

At 1 o'clock the big fellow lunched and developed an enormcus appetite. It took three spring chickens to satisfy him, in addition to a plentiful supply of chicken broth and rice. The glass of ale was also allowed him. At 3 o'clock he crossed over to the gymnasium aud again began tossing the ball. Afterward he skipped the rope LOO times, and after a brief interval, repeated tbe exercise four times, making the total number of skips 1,000.

This will end his preparation for the fight, unless a pjstpoiiement becomes inevitable. bullivan'b seconds. Sullivan's seconds were decided upon six weeks ago, but the choice is kept a profound secret. The Associated Press reporter thinks it safe to predict that they will be JoeCoburn and Mike Cleary. Ooburn is fall of resources and up to all the tricks of the trade, and make an invaluable second.

When asked about it by the reporter, he was non-commital, but declared himself willing to serve. TWO TO ONE WAGERED ON JOHN The arrival of the Kilrain party has not, as was expected, materially effected the features of the situation. Sullivan stock continues to go up and the confidence of his backers continues unabated. At Lamothe's pooiroom tonight one bet was made of $150 to $75 that Sullivan would win. The paolseller announced that he had more Sullivan money to place at the same odds, but there were no more takers.

I RIOT AT DULUTH. Battle Between Police and Strikers. BLOOD, BULLKTS AND BAYONKTS. The Laborers' Strike Results llilitiu Called Out. I AMofiated Prow, to the Herald, i Diluth, July laboring men's strike, which has been in progress several days, culminated this afternoon in a bloody war between the strikers and Thirty determined policemen were pitted against three thousand desperate strikers, armed with pistols, stones and clubs.

Four thousand men were employed on street and sewer improvements, at $1.50 per day, until last Tuesday, when fifteen hundred struck for an advance of twenty-five cents per day. The contractors refused to accede to the demand. The strikers had many recruits each day, and the mob finally increased to nearly three thousand. There had been ugly rumors of the determined attitude of the strikers all day, and preparations had been made by the police department for any emergency. All day long men had been at work on the Fifth-street contratt, out at about o'clock the strikers compelled them to desist.

At o'clock a crowd of strikers had reached Third street and Tenth avenue, west, where the shadow of the ees and the known determination of the police at Garfield avenue decided them to wait. HOSTILITIES BKOI'N. At about 4 o'clock the mob, headed by a number of hot-headed men, rallied and started back for the sewer trench. They wars infuriated by the presence of the police and their coutrol of the situation; half an hour later they made a rush for the cordon of police. The police drew their clubs and revolvers; seeing there was no use to bother with clubs, they fired into the angry mob a volley, and one striker lay dead, while seven more were wounded, some most seriously.

Ore policemau was shut in return. Three men are dead, and twelve or fifteen wounded. The strikers started from Twentieth aveuue, while another body came down from Third street by Fifteenth avenue, and made a rush with clubs and rocks. The police s'ood their ground. Who did the first firing is not known.

As the strikers made a rush a single shot was fired, then crack crack crack! went the rifles, followe i by a fusilade from the strikers' revolvers. After ttie first fire came an awful hush, as the combatants were appalled at THE AWFUL RESULT Of their work. On the walk in front lay a man shot through Ihe head. Several more were bleeding from ghastly wounds. The strikers then stationed themselves around the buildings in different parts of t'je block 'tween Garfield aud Eikhteenth avei ac md pouted in a steady fire on the who were stationed near the sewer ditch From 4 o'clock until 5 o'clock the horrib work went on, and the battle Old not withhold its fury long enough for the wounded to leave the field.

It was after 5 o'clock when the last shot was fired, and ter ible indeed had been the result. Over thirty-five are known to be wounded, some fatally, and two killed. At 5:45 Company of the otate militia, arrived and with fixed bayonets drove the crowd from Michigan street. The Mayor then made a speech, ordering the crowd to disperse. The police and militia then drove the crowds from all the streets.

At 6 o'clock the strikers had dispersed. THE DEAD AND WOUNDED. Following is a list of the dead and wounded: One striker, shot through the heart. Tom Fitzsimmons, shot through the back, died tonight. Alfred Anderson, striker, shot in the chest; will probably die.

George Pollitier, etreet-car driver, eho in the head. Ed. Cummings, striker, stabbed in the groin with a bayonet. York Castigao, striker, dangerously shot in the shoulder. Hoken Benson, striker, shot in thet upper leg; may die.

Of the police force the following are woundea: Captain Thos. McLaughlin, shot in hip; Sergeant Clements, in hand Officer O'Oonnell, in abdomen Smollet in foot; Harrigan, in thigh; Hayden, in aim; Donavin, face arid hip; vick, face and thigh Kilgare, shoulder. RINGLEADERS ARRESTED. The police have arrested Charles Carlson. Hendle, Joe Frank and Eric M.

Lundbreen, the four most prominent ringleaders in the assault. They are incarcerated in the county jail. The militia are at the barracks ready to be called out at any moment. THE BLACK REPCULIC. The aud Respected In lluy i lvii New York, July 6 ihe schooner William H.Jones arrived today, direct from the Black Republic.

Captain Hounslea says there were no indications of hostilities when the schooner left poit. Toe United States men-of-war Ossipee and Kearsarge were in the viciuiiy of Cape Haytien, the latter having arrived on June sth escorting the American steamer Caroline Miller. The mpee, which had just hrougnt about the release of the American steamer Ozsma.left the Cape a day or two before. Hippolyte, Captain Huunslua said, had his army, 4,000 men, encamped about midway between St. Marie and Gonaivee.

Hippolyte calculated to secure possession of I ort au-Prince by stratagem. The Captain observed that Hippoljte's war vessels treated all American craft entering Cape Haytian with great respec. When his schooner entered the harbor the colors of the Haytian men-of-war were dropped repeatedly in recognition of the Stars and stripes at the schooner's masthead. Hire. Terry's Lecture.

Fresno, July Charles Mc- Geachy's reported illness in San Francisco, Mrs. Judge Terry has concluded to lecture under the auspices of a Fresno gentleman.
