DOiiDS SUFFEES ANOTHER DEFEAT.
Ual BistbiJl Kigrittt to Meet To-Dly Btnenl
Ejcrtmg New of Iztcicit.
Everybody who has attended trotting
meeiincs during these last 15 or 20 years
knows, "Knap" McCarthy. TJutil a year ago
lo iromiueut meeting was, complete the pro
gramme oi -.Uiicb did Dot contain the name
ol AV. H. McCarthy, although few people
knew him by his initials. "Knap" was
every thing and meant everything in the way
of a name. And many a tough argument
"Kr.ap" has won behind a picer or a trotter
n Home-Rood and Exposition tracks, and even
in tLe old Friendship 1'ark track. lie always
bad something "good," and never left Pittsburg
without t.-l.inp some nf its money with him.
'Veil. "Knap" McOrth arrived in town yes
tcnliy. accompanied by Mr. McCarthy, and
tlicy mil be the guests of Adam Fnclis until
To-morrow, when they leave for Minneapolis.
Ab is gencrall known, "Knap" abandoned the
trotting business for that of tr-e runners more
than a year ago. and. according to whit he said
jcterdiy, he is doing well. He is training the
horses of Mr. Withers' stable During a con
versation yesterday, lie said:
"1 am engaged for next year by Mr. Withers,
and I reallv prefer the runners to the trotters.
There is more money among the runnel s. For
instance, a good runner can make as much
money in one race as a good trotter canln a
season. Last season onr stable on 41,(100, and
that is quite a nice sum of rnonc). ext sea
son we will have scarcely im thing butS-ycar-!d,
at least we will have 13 out of 17 horses.
That means that we don't know what we will
tlo. Some ol our jearlmr are exceedingly
promisiug. hut we have not the least idea what
they will do in a race next year."
fcneakin: of horses miisule ot his own stable
lie said "There la nothmc wrong with Sal va
tor. I saw liimtHu days before he was (hipped
to California, and be was as bright as a i.ow
lollar then and a sonid as a bound's tooth,
lie has arrived in California all right, and be is
the greatest race horse in America, lenny
may be the next best, butFireuzi can site him
an argument; indeed, I would not like to saj
Mhich is the better of the pair. Whenever
tiiej meet, both fit and well, in a race of a milo
and a quarter it will be difficult to name the
winner." Thcv are both great horses."
"Knap" talked pleasantly about his Pitts
burg experience, and remarked that in Dallas
Mr Currmck hasa wonderful pacertbat wiil
no doubt improve. More than once "Knap"
remarked that bo had no idea of returning to
the trotters. He says that next season will be
the greatest ever known in this country for the
runners. He farther stated that winter sDecu
latum on the Brooklyn and Suburban handi
caps will be extremely rreat, and that several
stables have some "dark" ones for the event.
"Knap" never looked better in his life, and
he looks years youncer than when last in Pitts
burg wi tii his trotting stable.

to play his game Clmedid uonderful cxecu
cation ana bis steady work rolled up the
necessary 225, while Rhoades had but 51 to his
ciedit.
In the evening the attendance wa much
better and the game was so well played -ind
exciting that it held the spectators interest
cntil the last. Tho contestants were Harris
and Dodds, of Pittsburg JJodds started In at
& rattling pare, scoring rapidly and was soon
points ahead. Nothing daunted Burns
pogj-ed aw ay and his steady plawm: combined
with several good runs made by magnificent

Palis Billiard Tournament.
Chicago, Dec 1L "1 saw Jacob Schaefer
last eight, and asked' him what lie thought ot
an international handicap billiard tournament
in Pans." said a well known sporting man.
"I don't think anj thing or It, he sail', 'and
-n ould not go into it. Thero would be no money
in it for me. because they would handicap me
to death. Besides the first money would be only
f kOifl, and I w ouldn't go to Paris for that. I'd
kae to leave my business here, and I'd spend
that tnucn gom: over there. Ihe first money
of SLOW ts nothing at all.'
But ou're goinc over to Pans next sum
mer, ain't you?"
"Yes, on a pleasure trip. But no matter what
I go for, I wouldn't play in a handicap tourna
ment. Of tour'-1 wouldn't be worse handi
capped than -1 isson or Vignaux or Plot, but
tl cii, as I said before, if I won there'll be no
mo -cv n It. Then those fellows ocr there
wo ildn't fay jny expenses, though there
wouldn't le. uiy entrance fee, and I'd be out,
dn'i'i juu see? l'r.i not in favor of ut!i a tou
naroent, and vnulu.i't go into it undtram cir-cuiusta-c:s.
Tin's all 'thero Is tint. I want
bop-e cio'icy in sight -a ben I pity. If I don't
wia l'"f all rf-hr, but a uancan't afford to play
for a little Hate."

rsrOAt irueSAH To the dirpatch.v
New Yose. Dec 11 A conference between
the National League and American Associa
tion rcprescntatn cs was held to-day, but
nothinrof lmnortanco was done. There was
much talking about rue American Association
circnit and dome very conflicting opinions ex
pressed. Ak Johnson has now a poor chance
of being listened to because questions of
greater importanco are to the tront. It is
likely that an Association club will be put into
Boston. The question of where the old League
players will go is a troublesome one and may
not be easily decided.
1ND00B ATHLETICS.
Programme of Events for tho East End
Gymnasium Contests Next Tuesday.

tortion work by Close and Layng; high kicking

THE WORLD'S FAIE LABOR COSGRESS
Detroit, Dec. 11. The proceedings of
the American Federation of Labor were
opeued this morning by the reading of a
telegram from Birmingham, Ala., saying
that the Executive Board there bad been
released on bail, and adding that in that
city there was no freedom of speech for
organized labor. Chairman Gomoers ap
pointed a committee to formulate the views
of the Federation on the subjectof the eitrht
hour day. It was decided to elect officers
to-morrow. Immediately alter the election
the convention will select the next place of
meeting.
Delegate Morgan offered a resolution,
which sct'forth that occasion was taken
during the Philadelphia Centennial by em-1
plovers to flood Europe with advertisements
that there was plenty of work in this
country when there were thousands of idle
men, And that the country was in turn
flooded with unneeded labor. The resolu
tion asked action by the Federation to head
bfL such possinle immigration during the
Chicago World's Fair. It was concurred
in,
No Freedom of Speech in Alabama
Morgan's resolution, asking the Federa
tion to support woman's sufirage, was re
ported favorably. The convention resolved
to extend symnathy to the Alabama coal
miners in the strike, whose Executive Board
was jailed in Birmingham, and it was re
solved to spare no pains to extend aid and
encouragement to them. Those who took
part in the incarceration of Jhe coniuiitee
were denounced.
A resolution looking to more discreet use
of the boycott was passed. The request of
the striking picture-irame and molding
workers of Cleveland, also the boycott of
certain brewers and others, was reported
favorably aud referred to the Executive
Committee. Itenorts from the documents
in the bands of the Grievance Committee
show considerable strile between trade
unionists and Knights of Labor in Cleve
land. A unanimous report indorsed the
secretary's report, which pushed the eight
hour day forward, and was concurred in by
the convention. Pecuniary aid to the
striking Beaver Falls, .fa., saw makers, was
asked for and reierred.
A World's l'alr Resolution Introduced.
A resolution, which was referred, asked
that the Chicago World's Fair be open on
Sunday, since Sutiday was the only day on
which an opportunity was offered to' the
wage-workers to attend.
It was decided by the convention to in
struct delegates to bring their influence on
all electrical wage-workers within their jur
isdiction to form unions. A grievance was
read from a Southern machinists' union re
garding proposed affiliation, and one of the
delegates arose to denounce a section of their
constitution, which confined admission to
white men. A resolution excluding such
locals as draw the color or race lines, and to
oiganize the machinists in a national body
who do not inject the race clause in the con
stitution, was offered and finally, after con
siderable debate pro and con, a respectful
request was added lo the resolution asking
the Southern unions to strike the color line
clause from their constitutions, and the
whole was referred to the Executive Coun
cil for action on that basis.
In Behalf of Retail Clerks.
Amotion was made pledging the dele
gates present to lend their aid in their
respective localities to the formation of labor
unions of retail clerks, with a view to their
affiliation with the Retail Clerks' United
Protective Association of America. The
pledge also included that of devoted atten
tion to securing shorter hours and Sunday
closing lor retail clerks. Referred to Com
mittee on Resolutions.
The convention voted to allow George E.
McMcll to dralt a brief history of the de
velopment ot the industrial system of the
United States, and to compensate him for
his time.
A resolution, -introduced by Adam
Mensclie. instructing the incoming Execu
tive Committee to request organizers to de
vote special efforts to organizing laundry
employes into labor unions, was carried.
Delegate Sweeney's resolution providing for
the appointment of a legislative committee,
was reported adversely by the Committee on
Organization. After considerable discussion
the matter was recommitted, with instruc
tions !or favorable consideration to report at
the next convention.
A Contest on the Constitution.
The report of the Committee on Constitu
tion was"b"egun. They reporied that it had
careruily gone over the constitution and re
vised it. The revised version of the first
four sections was carefully read, re-re.id.
amended, and, after a great deal of discus
sion, a motion to adopt was lost, the poll
vote standing 1,232 to 611, while a two
thirds vote is required to carry. The re
mainder of the report was then recommitted
to the committee.
The sentiment of the convention did not
seem to the committee on President's report
to be sufficiently strong in favor of the hold
ing of a World's Labor Congressot Chicago
in 1S93, and they would not recommenl
such an undertaking at present.Mmt the
Executive Committee would be instructed
to-day to keep up a correspondence with a
view to a possible congress.
SIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES.
A Skirmish Takes Flace Between Hostile
Indians and Chief Two Strikes.
Pike Ridge Agency, Dee. 11. This
morning it is learned from scouts sent to the
Bad Lands that when they first entered the

This precipitated a row,in which TwoStrikes
and his followers, who are desirous of com
ing to the agency, defended the scouts.

agency last week, has been spent by the In
dians in counciliug and quarreling among
themselves as to whether they should sur
render or not, aud this difference of opinion
resulted in a final rowyes.erday, when guns
were drawn and nn attempt tus made
to take Too Strikes life. In This they
were foiled by the timely intervention of
Two Strikers' nephew and Nursing Bear.
The riot ended in a division of the camp,
the greater number joining Two Strikes,
and declaring their intention to come to the
agency, while 30 or 40 lodges, under the
leadership of Snort Bull and Kicking Bear,
pulled lor the interior of the Bad 'Lands,
and declared their determination to fight.

forcing tbe low pressnro or stormy areas to
ward the Atlantic coast and displacing them
with fair weather in all the country West of
the Mississippi Valley. It was also fair in tbe
Atlantic and Gnlf States. In tbe lake region
and central valleys it was threatening, with oc
casional light rain. A drop in temperature of
