John L. Sullivan is yet champion of the
pugilistic world. He met Jake Kilrain yes
terday near Bichburg, Miss., and in a 24
foot ring, according to London prize ring
rules, fought 75 rounds for the champion
ship, $20,000, the championship belt and a
division of the gate money, Sullivan being
declared the winner in two hours and five
minutes. The champion is only a little the
worse for wear, while Kilrain bled pro
fusely and was badly worsted, despite the
fact that he didn't stand up to take much
punishment.

fought to-day near Bichburg.Marion county,

wonderful wrestler represented, for Sulli
van threw him as often as he was thrown,
and with far greater severity.
The day was intensely hot, and this added
to the punishment of the men.
The Retcreo Uoncit bat Not Posted.
John Fitzpatriek, "of New Orleans, was
the referee. He is an honest man, but he is
not fully posted on the rules of the London
prize ring, and he exercised great leniency
toward Kilrain, who went down repeatedly
without a blow in the most deliberate man
ner. He equalized matters somewhat, how
ever, by twice overlooking fouls of Sulli
van, who once sat down on Kilrain's breast,
and another time jumped on him with both
knees.
The train conveying the $15 ticket bearers
arrivedatB.ichburgat8o'clock, and the driv
ersotthe engine had hardly ceased revolving
when a thousand men, each bearing a camp
stool under his arm, were tearing pell mell
through the pine trees in the direction of
the ring, which was spread some half a mile
back from the railroad track on the top of a
little knoll.
Not Enough Room for the Peeple.
It was a beautiful bit of ground, but the
three-sided amphitheater, with seats rang
ing tier above tier, was piled to overflowing
in a moment, and the question was at once
asked: "What will become of the thousands
on the second and third trains?" There
was hardly sufficient accommodation for
those in the first train, and after rustling
about for some few minutes and indulging
in some lively language, they all settled
down and awaited the coming of their less
fortunate brethren.
The ring was of the regulation size, 24 feet
square, and the eight pine posts, driven
many feet into the ground, were encircled
by a double row of the finest inch-and-an-eighth
manilla rope. The ground in the
inclosure was hard and level, covered here
and there with a sparse crop of grass.
A Regulation Southern Summer Dnj.
The sun, which had not shown his face
during the early hours or the morning,
burst forth with great fury at 8:15, and um
brellas were at a pramium, hats were re
moved in a jiffy, and handkerchiefs were
bound about necks.
Tno cameras were planted on stands on
the western side of the ring, and two expert
photographers manipulated the machines to
catch the men in their different positions as
the fight progressed. Sullivan was sec
onded by Mnldoon and Hike Cleary. Tom
Costello was hie time keeper and Phil
Lynch his umpire. He had a halt dozen
bottle holders and admirers in his corner,
chief of whom was Joe Cobum. Kilrain
was seconded by Charley Mitchell and Mike
Donovan. Burt Mas term an was his time
keeper and Denny Butler was his umpire.
Mitchell did not want to fight in Mississippi
for fear of arrest, but he finally concluded
to act as Jake's second.
SulliTan Choose the Referee.
Very little trouble was experienced in
getting' a referee. The Kilrain party won
the choice of corners, and after some dis
pute, they agreed to Sullivan's choice for
referee.
The first round was short and sweet. Sul

around the neck, twisted him over his hip,
and flung him to the ground.
In the second round there was some sharp
hitting. Early in the round the men
clinched and struggled for the falL Sul
livan was ahle to push Jake off. After a
sharp exchange of hits, Sullivan grappled
Jake and threw him right hard, and rolled
him over and over after he touched the
ground.
In the third round Kilrain three times
struck SulliTan below the belt, in a hand-to-hand
rally, hut no claim of foul was
made. By and by Kilrain began

were the two he committed. Kilrain spiked
Sullivan's feet in an awful manner, and
trotted away and around him In a very pro
voking way. The only real decent thing he
did was to refrain from striking Sullivan
during one of the rounds in which the big
fellow was sick at the stomach.
Jake was awfully punished around the
body. In fact, ha took: enough of punish
ment t" satisfy a dozen men. Kilrain wai
terribly beaten toward the latter end of the
seventy-fifth round, when Charley Mitchell
went over to Sullivan's corner and asked
him what he would give Jake if he wonld
give in. "Not a cent," was Sullivan's
answer. "Let the sucker get up and
fight"
Mitchell went back, and then Donovan
threw up the sponge in token of defeat
The instant he did Sullivan was surrounded
by hundreds of cheering friends. He broke
avrsv- from them, and '-wanted 'to fight
Charley Mitchell then and there, but was
prevented from striking Hitchell by
Charley Johnson and Mike Cleary. Sulli

free himself from his grasp.

tSrECtil. TILECEAM TO THE DISrATCH. 1
NEW Oeleans, July 8. The trip from
New Orleans to the ring was quite event
ful. Before the trains left the city limits
an attempt was made to clear them of the
deadheads who, crowded their roofs and
trucks. Many of those put off were very
vengeful, and they fired a number of shots
at the engineer of the train. This caused
the passengers to duck and scramble as close
to the floor of the cars as possible. Not less
than IS or 20 shots were fired, and that some
one was not hurt was a little short of mira
culous. The Attorney General of the State, the
Assistant Adjutant General, and several
other State officials accompanied the train
as far as Slidell, to see that the promise that
the fight did not take place in IiOUisana
was faithfully kept When they left, Bud
Benaud sent bis regards to the Governor
and bis assurance of distinguished consid
erations. All Allowed Free Ride.
After passing the 28-mile trestle over
Lake Pontchatrain, it was discovered that
at least three dozen men were hanging on
the trucks, in momentary danger of falling
off and being killed, and the train was
stopped and they were permitted to get on
in regnlar fashion by kind-hearted Bud
Benaud. Sullivan and Kilrain bad given
the authorities the slip early in the day,
and they were probably just as well pleased
that their jurisdiction didn't extend far
enough to warrant them stopping the train,
with some of the most prominent men of
Louisiana and Mississippi aboard, to say
nothing of the Northern and Western dele
gates. Some persons say that the train was
flagged, but if this is so the engineer utter
ly disregarded the signal and continued his
way through forbidden territory.
At the Peep of Dar.
When the morning was light enough to
observe objects as they passed in succession
here and there, a lagoon with its rank vege
tation and still water interspersed with
dense forests of pine trees blazed for turpen
tine, the only product of the country that
keeps the Mississippian's body and soul to
gether, looking like so many ghosts on a
frolic as they danced past, shining white
and weird in the dim light of early morn
ing. A glance out of the window revealed coat
tails floating in the breeze in long rows the
entire length of the train. Despite Captain
Jamiesen's vigilince there were hundreds
of men beating their war on the trains, and
one young desperado, who evidently feared
nothing, was astride the hog chain, or iron
rod which runs from end to end of a rail
road car just outside of the, line of the
wheels, lying flat on his stomach.
Grasping- tho Iron Rod Firmly
with both hands, and with feet locked
securely above the bar that man had ridden
for four hours straight without a change of
position. His was only a single case.
As soon as Bud Benaud heard that lie
me
was carrying several hundred passengers
that were not swelling the receipts, he seized
the bell cord and stopped the train. In
stantly there was a wild scamper for the
cover of the pine trees, but the manager
shouted: "Come back and get on the train,
and ride like white men. I don't want any
body killed." It was then found that the
top of every car was jammed, and many re
mained there, as there was no room for them
elsewhere.
All along the route the natives gathered
at the small way stations and looked won
deringly at the procession of bad men. As
they whirled cast them, little children
clasped their hands frightened, the sight of
too many cars and the cheers of the passen
gers being new to them.

New Obleans, July 8. Bud Benaud
stopped the train on one of the heaviest
grades on the road, and, although the en
gine whizzed and darted, while her driving
wheels revolved at lightning-like speed, the
train did not move an inch. The engineer
came back, expressing his opinion about
the fool that wonld stop a train in such
a place, and finally he had to cut the train
in two, pull one section to a switch five
miles away and return for the other.
It was therefore a few minutes to 8 o'clock
when the sawmills at Bichburg were

reached, where the ring was pitched. Every
man grabbed a campstool, and before the
train had come to a standstill the crowd was
swarming through the pines on their way to
the scene of the battle. It was a motley
throng, that, and a few raw Hississipnians
were there to show the way to the sawmills.
From every State in the Union came men,
clad in all kinds of garbs.
X Sheriff Mates His Appearance,
As tho party made its way over the
rough ground to the ring, which was
pitched on an eminence half a mile from
the railroad track, vague rumors were afloat
to the effect that there would be no fight
Sheriff Cammack, of Perry county, was
there in all the glory of a sombrero and
with trousers tucked into the tops of his
boots and a huge revolver protruding from
each pocket He announced in a loud voice
that if the men came together they would
be arrested.
Charlie Mitchell, uponhearingthisjnmped
at the opportunity to avoid a fight and se
cure a postponement,knowing full well that
Kilrain's physical condition would prevent
his doing as well as he would otherwise,and
cunning Charlie refused point blank to en
ter the ring as Kilrain's second. "I've been
arrested before, and I know what a viola
tion of the law in this case means."

Then there was the deuce to pay, and the
crowd, evidently not used to such tactics,
were determined that there should be a
fight, and furthermore that it should be to
the bitter 'end. Johnston and Wakely
found Sheriff Cammack, and with the assist
ance of Bud Benaud and Captain Jamieson,
raided by a present of $250, induced the
Perry county omciai to Deueve tna be had
important business in a different part of the
county that needed his immediate attention,
and after finally notifying the men that
they must not break the peace, as they were
about to enter the ring, he disappeared.

New Oelkaus, July 8. Sullivan was
wild when he heard that Mitchell had ad
vised Kilrain not to fight in Mississippi,
and the big lellow declared that there would
be a fight, and a hot one, too, as he would go
to Kilrain's quarters and force him to pro
tect himself. Sullivan spent the night in a
small house some half a mile from where
the ring was pitched, while Kilrain took
np his quarters in the house of Mr. Bich,
the millionaire sawmill owner, who is the
proprietor of more valuable timber lands in
Mississippi than any other two men com
bined. When it was learned'tliat the Sheriff had
been disposed of, and that the crowd would
bear no trifling, Mitchell began to prepare

heavy pine stakes, through which" two rows
of the finest inch and an eighth manilla
rope bad been drawn, until the whole struc-"
ture was as strong as could be desired. Guy
ropes from each corner of the ring proper
extended to the railing of the press seats,
some eight feet away, as on additional pre
caution. The ring was built in a three-sided am
phitheater, the second or inner ring holding'
those who had paid SIS for their tickets,
while the $10 men occupied the seats which
rose tier above tier from the ground back of
the inner ring to the height of 15 feet The
representatives of the press bad 30 seats to
the east of the ring proper, and sat with
their backs to the sun, and where they
could tee every movement of the pugilists,
their seconds and timekeepers, and hear
every word that was uttered.
The Entrance to the Ring- i
was through the eastern side, directly at the
end of the grand stand. Those who arrived
on the first tram almost hlled the stand to
repletion, and the question of the hour be
came: "Where will the 2,000 persons com
ing on the other two trains sit?"
A glance at the assemblage as it posed in
different attitudes revealed a wonderful
range of character. 3illy West, the min

shirt, sat beside a Western sport, whose
toilet consisted of low-cut shoes, black stock

John Fitzpatriek. Johnny O'Brien, of New

talked quietly about something.
Edgar Leech, Commissioner of Public
Works, a splendid specimen of physical
development, who looked big enough to hold,
his own with either Sullivan or Kilrain in
a rough-and-tumble rally, leisurely waved
a palm-leaf fan, opened his shirt collar, and
endeavored to keep cool. Barney Haguire,
of New York, minus most of his diamonds,
but with a goodly roll of bills in bis pocket,
sat also on the grass on the western side of
the ring, doubtless wondering if John L.
would be able to land the $10,000 he stood
to win.
A Bad Couple Side by Side.
Bat Masterson, of Denver, with a record
of 22 men in his book of lives, but who is
far from being the typical desperado in
manners and dress, beiug polished and
well-spoken in the extreme, chatted with
Luke Short, of the same place. Short's
record is almost as good as that of Master
son, and the pressure of this pair at the
ringside made more than one man hope that
everything would go off smoothly, as both
were primed and loaded.
Tom Costello, of Cleveland, the gentle
man who made Charley Mitchell jump into
the Kennard House aquarium a few months
ago, with Phil Lvnch, Lyny Tracy, of
Brooklyn, and Jack Halliday, of San Fran
cisco, whispered confidentially.

New Oeleans, July 8. Nearly every
coat was off by this time, the thermometer
ranging from 105 to 110 In the sun. The
pines were too high to cast much of a shade,
but the branches were none too far removed
from the grounds to keep dozens of men and
boys out of their boughs. It was, in short,
a most orderly, well-behaved gathering, and
there was little impatience manifested until
the arrival of the second train, at 950
o'clock, when every available inch of space,
within the amphitheater and outside, com-
mandinz a view of the rin? waaocouoied.
It AtrpreclaelTfltfatlieN was a'traaio
shout of ''Here they come," and Pony
Moorp, Hike Donovan, Johnny Murphy
and, BUI Harding entered the ring with
Kilrain's paraphernalia. Three minutes
later there was anotheroutburst of applause,
and Hike Cleary, Lyn7 Tracy, Dan
Murphy, Ed Hughes, of Louisville, Charley
Johnston, Phil Lynch, Jimmy Wakely and
several other of Sullivan's friends made
their appearance.
Johnny Murphy tied Kilrain's colors to
the stake of the ring and Dan Murphy did
the same service for Sullivan. Then the
American flag, presented by the Parnell
Clnb, was unfurled.
Meantime Mike Cleary and Mike Dono
van were tossing for choice of corners.
Cleary flipped the coin, while Donovan
cried "tail." Tail it was, and the Kilrain
party took the corner that gave SulliTan
the benefit of the sun in bis eyes.
At 9:55 Kilrain came to the ringside, at
tended by Charley Mitchell. He tossed his
floe, straw hat Into tho ring, in token of de
fiance, and immediately followed it. Sulli
van was but a moment later in making bis
'appearance. He had a bath robe wrapped
around him, and he threw his old slouch hat
into the squared circle In reply to Jake's
defiance.
The toilets of the men were soon made.
They had dressed under at their houses, and
had only to be divested of their outer gar
ments. Sullivan wore green knee-breeches
and white stockings, with black fighting
shoes. Kilrain was dressed in black knee
breeches, blue stockings and black shoes.
Both wore their flags for belts, and both
were naked from the waist up, with the ex
ception of strengthening plasters they wore
.around their waists.

New Oeleans, July 8. While the men
were being disrobed, the crowd toot stock
of their appearance. Sullivan was quite
fat, and must have weighed not less than
21S pounds. His eyes looked bright, and
he appeared brimful of confidence. Kil
rain had a haggard and jaded appearance
in the face, though his body looked better
than Sullivan's.
Mike Donovan stepped to the center of
the ring and said: "We have named Fat
Kendrick, of New Orleans, for referee, but
they won't have him." Then Charley Johns
ton took his turn at speech-making. He
said he wanted a fair, square fight, and if
he lost under these conditions, he too, had a
New Orleans man ror referee, an honest
man, in whom all had confidence. He was
enthusiastically cheered, as was Mr. Fitz
patriek. Charley Mitchell said: "Let ns do as they
did when Sullivan and Byan fought. Let
us take both of them." This proposition
was received with cries of "Nol No I"
"Fitzpatriek!" "Kendrick!"
Denny Butler tried to make a speech, but
the crowd sat down on him. Johnston
named Mr. Hueston for his second choice,
and then Charley Hitchell proposed that
they toss for choice of the men named. The
Sullivan party did not take kindly to the
offer, but the crowd cheered it again
and again. Bnd Benaud recommended
tossing for choice of the two men
named for referee, but the Kilrain
farty cut the knot in two by accepting
Ir. Fitzpatriek for referee. The
other ring officials were Huldoon and
Cleary seconds for Sullivan, Phil Lynch um
pire for him, and Tom Costello, timekeeper.
Kilrain was squired by Charley Hitchell
and Mike Donovan, Denny Butler was his
umpire, and Bat Masterson his time keeper.
Bill Harding, in a squeaky voice, handed
Kilrain a roll of bills and said it was (1,000

covered by Sullivan, who got the money

Sullivan Wanted to Fight.
Bound 10 Kilrain came up looking very
serious, probably realizing that he bad under
taken a huge contract and as he showed no
disposition to come to the center of the ring,
SulliTan Impatiently exclaimed: "Stand up
and fight like a man, I'm not a sprinter; I'm a
flghterl" As soon as Kilrain came near him,
SulliTan made a pass, but It fell short, and
Kilrain counted on his stomach, his blows
evidently (lacking force, doing Sullivan no
apparent damage. SulliTan made a rush at
Kilrain. wbor. the patter turned and bugged
him, both being against the ropes. The big

ribs, which by this time resembled somewbat

HER AGEBTS' METHODS EXPOSED

JOBNBUIL,nOWEYEE,CEEATS HIMSELF
Castle Garden, as It Sow Exists, an EtII to tie
American Nation.
Edward Stepbenson, Commissioner of
Emigration, at New Xork, has secured
from an Irish merchant a description of how
the British Government covertly aids peo
ple to emigrate to America, through one of
its departments, and thereby defeats the tt
forts of another. Commissioner Stephenson
describes Castle Garden as a real aid to
these operations.
israelii txlxobav to tub DisrjtTcn.t
New York, July 8. In London corre.
spondence of June 9 facts' were .stated about
the methods that prevail' On the western
coast of Ireland which, to quote the words
of the correspondent, "might interest tha
Commissioners of Emigration in New
York." It was stated that Erris, in County
Mayo, had been placarded with posters re
questing persons desirous of emigrating to
America to apply to Emigration Agent
Bourke. There were many applications,
and Bonrke selected 100 of tho poor
est and most worthless families
of the population for transportation.
A hitch arose which compelled
hira to give up the idea of sending them
over in a body, and he hit upon the plan of
shipping them al the rate of one family a
week, his method being to put one man in
as tbe head of the family and to send a lot
of others as his children and relatives. This
statement was made on the authority of the
Rev. Henry Heuson, the parish priest,
whose word was corroborated by Hr. John
S. Murphy, a leading merchant Commis
sioner of Emigration Edmund Stephenson,
of this city, at once wrote to the Kev. Mr.
Henson and to Mr. Mnrabv. staline tha
substance ot tbe article, and requesting their
personal statement as to the truth of tha
report
JOns EtTLt'S WICKEDNESS.
Mr. Stephenson took the precaution not to
mention that he was one of the commission
ers of emigration, fearing that if he did so
he would get no reply. He has just re-
celved an answer from Mr. Murphy, dated
Balmullet, June 27, Mr. Murphy writes:
The poorest and most worthless class arc
sent from this place on what is termed "the
free emigration," by what is called here tho
emigration commission. The commission is,
I believe only nominal; it is embodied In tha
Serson of the gentleman you mention as Mr,
urke, who was formerlv vice-guardian of
Balmullet union. He has had a great numbir
of very poor families undoubtedly poor in
some cases on bis list and from that list are)
selected small batches who are sent off weekly
via Londonderry. Of coarse if sent in large)
batches there might bo some difficulty in their
being allowed to proceed on. your side without
means. What Is still more strange, tbe Gov
ernment gires loans to these poor people, who
live on the coast, to enable them to follow tho
fishing Industry, which. If properly developed,
would be a source of wealth and employment
to tha country. These loans are given on tho
security of two otter persons who sign promis
sory notes to the Hoard of Works, to loan by
installments, including interest every half
year. This is an encouragement to tbe people
to stay at home and be Industrious, but while
one Government department Is fulfilling lt3
function in this respect, another Government
department offers inducements to these Tery
people by free emigration toleavo tho country,
and by so doing ot course "
1EAV1NO THEIE SECUBITrES
in for tbe amount These latter are proceeded
against and, I cannot help saying, properly
so for the recovery of these installments, and
thus wo have It tbat the honest industrious
man who remains at home and who has tried
to benefit bis neighbor by going security for
him to tbe Government, is made a victim of
throuebthe inducements to emigrate offered
by the same Government to a man who proves
himself, by so acting, dishonest. This is, in
fa ct, a premium to the rogue." I am awaro
that tbe Government fishery Inspectors
have remonstrated with the Emigra
tion Committee against sending away
any man connected with these
loans unless be first redeems them, but all to
no purpose. I am also aware tbat Sir Thomas
Brady made even this year an ineffectual re
monstrance against a man being sent away on
this tree emigration to whom he bad a few
months before mado a loan out of a charitable
fund at his disposal, probably to sell his land
or pay his rent, lie mignt as well nave re
mained silent, although there are hundreds of
people wbo, without small loans given freely
by this eentleman. would have been lmates of
the workhouse, and, once In, lost forever. X
am verytespectf ally yours,
"Jomr S. Mubpht."
"There is a systematic movement on the
part of the European Governments to dump
their paupers on our soil," said Commis
sioner Stephenson. "Since the protest on
the part of our Government of 1884 their
movement has been conducted secretly, bnt
not without success.
CASTLE OAEDEX AX EVTI..
Last year, according to the report of the
Commissioners of Emigration, out of some
380,000 who landed at Castle Garden, only
601 were sent home, which is less than the
number who were returned the preceding
year. The commissioner did, however, pay
the return fare of about 600 others, who, if
they had remained, wonld have become a
burden to the country. So far as Castle
Garden Is concerned the country would be
better off if it were wiped out of exist
ence. Castle Garden is a cover.
It is not as it used to
be. Formerly the people had
a chance to see what sort of emigrants were
landing on our shores, but to-day those
emigrants are taken charge of by agents
immediately on their arrival and sent to re
mote parts of the country. The people are
not alive to tbe question, and the very clerks
in the garden are between two fires on the
one hand, the Presidents of the Irish Emi
gration Society and of the German Society,
of New York, each of whom has a full vote
in the board, and on the other handn the
State Commissioners, whose duty it is to
enforce the law. I think it is high time
that the public should acquaint themselves
with these facts."
