GOOD EEADIXG FOU 1HE P11ISIC1AK5
Berlin, Jan. 13. The secret of the com
position of lymph, so long jealouslysuarded
by Dr. Koch, bas at last been revealed by
the Doctor himself in a communication to a
medical piper. He says it consists of a
glycerine extract uenved from tbepure cul
tivation of the tubercle bacilli. Prof. Koch
save:
"fcince publishing, two months a;o, the re
fcults of my ucpenmeuts with the new remedy
lor tuberculosis, many physicians w ho received
the preparation liavebeen enabled to become
acquainted with its properties through their
own experiments. So far as I have been able
to review the statements published and the
communications received b letter, my indica
tions have been fully and completely continued.
The Eflect of the Lymph Treatment.
"The general concensus of opinion is that the
rented) has a specific effect upon tuuercular
tissues, and is therefore applicable as a very
delicate and sure agent for discovering latent
and uianosns doubtful tuberculosis processes.
Regarding the curative effects of the remedy,
most reports agree that, despite the compara
tively short duration of its application, many
patientb have bhovvn more or less pronounced
improvement. It has been affirmed that in not
a tew cases even a cure has been established.
"btandiug by itselt is the assertion that the
rcmedv mij not only be dangerous in cases
which have adt anced too tar a fact which may
forthwith be conceded butalso that it actuallj
promotes the tuberculous process, being tlicre
lore injurious. Dunns the past six weeks I
hate had opportunity to bring together further
experiences touching the curative effects ai.U
diagnostic application of the remedy in the
cases of about 150 sufferers from tuberculosis,
oi the most varied types in this city and the
hospitals. I can only say that everything I
lime latterly seen accords with m previous
ohserv atious. There has been nothing to mod
ify .n what I before repotted."
The Story of the Discov ery Told.
Anything intended to exercise a healing
effect on the tuberculous process must be a
soluble substance which would be lixivated to
a certain extent by the fluids of the bodj float
ing around the tuberde bacilli and be trans
ferred in a fairly rapid manner to the juices of
the body, while the substance prcduunn sup
puration apparently remains behind in tlie
tubercular luiilli or dissolves but very slontj.
The only important point, therefoie, was to in
duce outside the body the process going on
inside, it possible, and to extract lrom
the tubcrcu'ar bacilli alone the curative sud
stance. Ibis demanded time and toil, until I
finally succeeded, with the aid ot a 40 or 50 per
ceut solution of gljcenne, in obtaining an
illective suLstance from the tubercular bacilli.
A lth the fluid so obtained I made further ex
periments on animals jnd Dually on human be
nigs. These fluids were given to other physi
cians to enable tliem to repeat the experiments.
The leiuedy which is used m the new treatment
consists of a glycerine extract ueriv ed from the
pure cultivation ot tubercle bacilli.
It contains a certain quantity of mineral salts,
coloring substance? aud other unknown ex
tr.iot:ve matters, borne of these substances
can Be removed from It tolerably casilv. The
cilective substince is insoluble in absolute al
coLoL It can be precipitated b) it, though not,
indeed, m a pure condition, but still, combined
with the other extractive matter, nliich is like
wise insoluble m alcohol, the coloring mater
ma also oe removed.
The Power of tho Drng.
Regarding the onstitueius of the more
eGettive substances, onlj surmises may, for
the present, be expressed. It appears to me to
be derivative lions albuminous bodies, having
a close afliniU to them. It docs not belong to
the group of so-called toxalbumen", because
xt Vears Inch temperatures, and goes casilv and
quitklv through tho gangrene. The propor
tion of tho sub-tance in the extract, to all ap
p.irance, l vers small. It is e-a.matcd at frac
tious nl 1 ier cent, which. It correct, we should
liavu to do with a matter whoe effect upon
ciririnisnis attacked with tuheiculosis goes tar
i vnid what is known to us of the strongest
druss.
Itegarding the matter in which tLo speclGc
action of the remed on tuberculous tissue is
to bo represented, various h j potheses may be
naturally put fotnanl Without wishing to
affirm that my vie affords the best explana
tion, I repreent the process mvself in the fol
lowing manner- Thetuucrcle bacilli produced
when growing in living tissues, the simeasin
artihcia! cultivations, contain certain sub
stances which variously and
tjnfavorably Influence Living Kleraenfs
in their vicinity Among these is a substance
which, in a certain degree of concentration,
lolls, or so alters living protoplasm that it
posses into a condition that Weigert describes
as coagulation necrosis. In tissue thus become
rccrotic. the bacihus finds such unfavorable
conditions ot nourishment that it cau grow no
jnore. ard sometimes dies. This exulains tii
rcrnaikable phenomenon that in organs newly I
iwL.m Mi.,1 LuuvjvuiwMs lor instance, in
guinea pig-, spleen and liver, which then are
cov.rcd with graj bodies a number of bacilli
are found, whereas they are rare or wholly
absent when the enormously enlarged snlcen
cuiioivts almost entirely of vhmsh substance in
a condition of coagulative necrosis, such as is
often found in cases of uatur.il death in tuber
culosis of guinea pigs. The emgie bacillus
cannot, therefore, induce necrosis at a great
distance, for as soon as necrosis attains a cer
tain extension the growth of the bacillus sub
sides, and therewith the production of the
necrutising substance A kmd of reciprocal
compensation thus occurs, causing the vegeta
tion of i-olated bacilli to remain so extraordi
nariiv restricted, as, for instance, in lupus -and
scrofulous glands
How the Lj roph Destroys Bacilli.
In such cases the necrosis generally extends
to one part of the cells, which then, with
further growth, assumes the peculiar form of
cyeseu zelle. or giant cell. Thus, in this inter
pretation, follow liret the explanation Weigert
gives of the production of giant cells.
It. now, one increased artificially iq the vicin
ity of the bacillus the amount of necrotizing
f-ubstance in the tissue, the necrosis would
spread a- greater distance The conditions of
nourishment tor the bacillus would, thereby
become more unfavorable than usual. In the
first place, the tissue, which had become
necrotic ov er a large extent, would decay and
detach itself, and, where such were possible
would carry off the enclosed bacilli aud eject
them outwardly, so far disturbing their vegeta
tion that the) would much tnoie speedily be
killed than under ordinary eticumstancea.
It is just in looking at such changes that the
rfiectnf thcremed) appears tu consist. It
contains a certain quantity of necrotizing sub
stance, a correspondingly large dose of which
injures certain tissue elements, even in a
healthy person, and perhaps tco white blood
corpuscles or adjacent cells, thcrebv
Trodncing Fever and Complication
or symptoms; whereas, with tuberculous pa
tients, a much smaller quantity suEcc3 to in
duce at certain places, namely, where tubercle
1 acilli arc vegetating aud have already Im
pregnated tho adjacent region with the same
necrotizing matter, more or less extensivo
necrosis of the cells, with the phenomena in
the whole orgvnism which result from and are
connected with it Thus, for the present, at
least, it is impossible to explain the specific in
fluence whicb the remedy, in accurately de
nned coses, exercises upon tuberculous tisae,
ana the possibilitiv of increasing tho doles
with such rcmarKablc rapidity and the reme
dial -effects which have unquestionably been
pro laced under cot too lavorable circum
stances, P.of. Koch concludes with a reference fo
the duration of the remedy. Of the con
sumptive patients whom he described aj
temporarily enred, tno have returned to the
2tfoabtt Hospital lor further observation.
Co bacilli bare appeared iu their sputum
'or the 5srt three months, and their phthisi
cal sym uterus have gradually and con
vlcttly disappeared.

A Cut In "Workmen's Wages Found
Necessary Medium Goods Have Been
Driven Entirely From the Market.
TBT DnM.Ar'8 CABLE COSIPA5T.1
Loxdon, Jan. 15. Iu connection with
the now widely known fact that the McKin
ley tariff bill bas very seriously interfered
with the business of the firms engaged in
the cutlery trade, the following details and
facts, which have just been made pnblic,
will be of interest. At the time ot the pas
sage of the bill the large firms fully ap
pteciatcd the difficulties they were to be
called upon to encounter, but on account of
the magnitude of their operations, they con
cluded they would feel the pinch less se
verely than their smaller neighbors. In
this they have been disappointed, for such
houses as those of Joseph Rodger & Sous,
who have for years be:u among the cntlers
to the Queen; George "Wostcnholm & Son,
JJcedham Bros, and Grookc & Sou, whose
names are well known in America, by
leason of the excellence of their goods, have
had to confess that their business has Jallen
off considerably, and in one instance at
least SO per cent.
The workmen employed by "Wostenbolm
& Sons are now working under notice that
their employers feel themselves under the
painful necessity of reducing wages 5 per
cent. At the house of Uodsrers & Sons,
where 300 men are employed, the workmen
have received intimation that iu conse
quence of the serious effects of the American
tariff, it will be necessary to make a similar
reduction. The best class of wares lor
which the firm is renowned will not be af
fected prejudicially, but the medium quali
ties will almost be driven from the
markets.
The cutlers have held several meetings for
the purpose of discussing the situation, and
deputations of the men have waited upon
the principals of the firm, butwith no re
sult The matter is being discussed with
great calmness by both sides, and it is confi
dently hoped that some way will be fonud
outot the difficulty other than by means ot
a strike.

How New York Knights of Labor Would
Have Railroad Strikes Settled.
Albast, N. Y., Jan, 15. To-day the
Knights of Labor assemblies of this State
adopted resolutions, some of which are
parallel with those ot the Farmers' League
at Syracuse. The Knights want a National
Department of Labor and a Cabinet officer
for its head; Government ownership of rail
roads, telegraph, etc, and weekly payment
for Government employes.
The body passed bitter strictures upon the
State Arbitration Bnird, and also a resolu
tion requesting the Legislature to pass laws
that vriil render ny interference on the part
of railroad corporations with the rights of
citizens to organize into any lawful organiza
tion punishable with the forfeiture of the
charters of such railroad corporations; to
provide that in case of a strike, if any rail
road censes to run and discharge fully the
objects for which it was chartered, for the
space of 24 hours, such road shall be placed
in the hands of a receiver and run in behalf
of the State; that the judiciary appoint im
mediately not less than three disinterested
parties who shall act as arbitrators between
the employes und the road, and when a
settlement is made so the officers can run
such road, then such receivership shall be
discharged and the road delivered back to
the company.
LIVES ARE SACRIFICED
IN THE DISGSACEFUL FIGHT IK COLO
RADO'S LEGISLATUBE.
Speaker Hanna Gets a Ballet in the Cheek
and Two Policemen Are Fatally Shot
Intense Excitement Throughout the
State Militia on Guard.
tSrECIAt. TELEQBAH TO THE DISPATCn.l
Denyek, Jan. 15. The Colorado House
of Representatives is a disgrace to the State,
and all respectable Coloradaus feel the
shame keenly. Within the past 24 hours
scenes have been enacted that are unpar
alleled in American lcgislitive history.
Lives have been sacrificed at the instance of
a few miserable, petty politicians, who,
having lost all sense of honor, endeavored
to blot the fair name of Colorado. To-night
several families are cither mourning the
loss of a father and husband, or praying for
the speedy recovery of the innocents.
This briefly describes the situation. Last
night's dispatches recounted AVednesday's
proceedings. They told how Speaker
Hanna, the duly elected presiding officer,
gained the emnity of a minority of the Re
publicans, who, with the aid ot the Demo
crats, endeavored to dictate the policy of
the House. Finding their game thwarted,
thev held a rump meeting, selected Jessie
B. White Speaker, and held a session of
their own. Speaker Hanna, by advice, se
cured a number of Deputy Sheriffs to guard
his seat and protect the official records.
Speaker White followed his example by se
curing the assistance of many toughs and
bullies, who were sworn in as doorkeepers.
About 11 o'clock Speaker Hanna, upon
seeking admission to the House, was shot by
one of White's guards, the bullet grazing
his left cheek. Police Inspector Hawley
was passing at the time, and, on heanug the
disturbance, rushed into the hall only to be
shot in the head by Harley McCoy, one df
White's hirelings. The Inspector was im
mediately cared for, but will die before
morning. Policeman Andrew Nforris, upon
healing the report, rushed to the rescue of
his superior, only to be shot through the ab
domen by McCoy, who escaped, but was
later captured.
A few minutes later the Assembly build
ing was surrounded by a cordon of police,
who, with drawn revolvers, were prepared
to kill anybody at the least provocation.
The two companies of the State militia with
Winchesters have patroled the streets all
day, while both speakers, at this morning's
session, deemed it advisable to adjourn un
til to-morrow without transacting any busi
ness. Business meetings are being arranged
all over Colorado for the purpose of re
questing the resignation of the rioting mem
bers. To-night the same state of affairs ezists as
last night, with both factions in possession
of different parts of the hall.

A DEMOCRATIC DODGE
Governor Beaver's Nominations flung
. Up in lhe State Senate.
SOME THREATS OF EETALIATION
Upon tho Future Executive Will Probably
Cause a Compromise.
F0UE PEES0S8 XAMED FOR THE TOGA
rrsou A STAFF cohresfoxdent.
HarkiSbueg, Jan. 15. For a time to
day it looked like an exciting crisis in the
Senate, which threatened torosultin a clash
between the Republican Legislature and the
incoming Democratic Governor at the very
outset of bis administration. Mr. Pattison
himself was not a party to the trouble. It
was known that at to-day's session of the
Senate Governor Beaver would send to the
body a voluminous list of appointments
which he has made during the year and a
half since the last Legislature adjourned.
To confirm such appointments in the
Senate, a two-thirds vote is required. That
is 34. This year theie arc 19 Democrats in
the Senate and 31 Republicans. The Re
publicans, therefore, lack three votes of
possessing the twe-tbirds majority. Know
ing this well, the Democratic Senators held
a secret caucus this morning, and decided
that until the new Governor is in charge of
the State administration they would oppose
the confirmation of all the retiring Govern
or's appointments except notaries and mag
istrates. Beginning of the Trouble,
The Senate began its session, and after
other business had been disposed of, the
printed list of Governor Beaver's appoint
ments during the year was tikenup. A
great many notaries aud aldermen were con
firmed without a murmur, and at last Sena
tor Robinson moved that the appointmentof
William M. Martin, of Chester, as Factory
Inspector of the State for a term of three
years, be confirmed. Instantly Senator
Ross, the leader of the Democrats, slipped
over to Robinson's seat and informed him
quietly of the intentions of the Democratic
members of the Senate.
Robinson at once recognized the gravity
of the position and hastily withdrew his
motion. Confronted by the tact that if the
Democrats were in earnest the 31 Republi
can Senators xrire absolutely powerless, the
Republicans made an adroit move. It had
been intended to adjonrn the Senate until
Tuesday next, but this dilemma stopped all
that, lor that was equivalent to laying over
Beaver's appointments until Pattison be
came Governor. A recess was therefore
taken uutil to-morrow morning at 11
o'clock.
To make matters worse, six of the Repub
lican Senators were nrft in the city. They
were Messrs. Showalter, Critcbfield, Porter,
Newell, Upperman and Flinn. The Demo
crats wpreall present but two.
A Republican Caucus Convened.
The Republican Senators therefore imme
diately called a caucus for 3 P. m. The pro
ceedings of this gathering are kept secret,
but it was ascertained that it was decided to
telegraph for the six absentees to be in Har
risburg by morning. The attempt to con
firm the appointments will then be renewed,
and the caucus decided that if the Demo
crats then persist in objecting to the con
firmations that they, the Republicans, will
resort to a retaliatory course with the very
first appointments which Governor Pattison
sends to the Senate. ,
The first appointments of Governor' Patti
son will be those of the members of his
Cabinet, viz: Secretary of the Common
wealth, Attorney General, Adjutant Gen
eral, and their various deputies. These will
come into the Senate for confirmation on
tho very day Pattison is inaugurated, Tues
day next. It is equally within the power of
the Republicans to prevent the confirmation
of these men as it is for the Democrats to pre
vent the appointment of Governor Beaver's
men.
All interest centers on to-morrow's session,
and House members generally are staying
over in the citv to witueis the struggle,
George Handy Smith and Republican Sena
tors generally langh at the sudden move of
the Democrats as one of the most impolitic
steps ever taken at Harnsburg.
Merely a Display of Power.
They accredit it to two things, one that the
Democrats knowing the lack of a constitu
tional majority on the Republican bide, sim
ply wanted to make the majority party real
ize bow the minority is able to worry it this
winter. The other theory is that the lead
ing spirits in the movement are factional
enemies of Governor Pattison, and took this
method of placing him in an embarrassing
position at the outset.
It is a fact that Pattison bas not got a
personal representative, authorized as such,
yet on the floor of the Senate. How many
enemies he lias remains to be seen. On the
other hand. Senator Ross explains that the
inwardness of the movement is thU: There
may not be a single apDointee of Governor
Beaver whom the Democrats may wish to
vote against, but it is deemed wisest to de
lay executive matters ot this kind until the
policy of the new Governor is sufficiently
foreshadowed to indicnte his wishes and
until the policy ot the Legislature toward
Pattison is also indicated.
Read between the lines, and it would
seem as though the Democrats are making a
high-handed effort to "hold up" the Repub
licans until some compromise is offered the
minority party by which they may secure
fair treatment in this Legislature.
More Conservative Coansels Prevail.
At a late hour io-uigbt there were unmis
takable signs that the Democrats were weak
ening. Senator Ross says that if Republi
cans mean what they threaten, then mani
festly neither side can gain anything, and it
is the farthest from his mind to antagonize
the majority party and thus embarrass Gov
ernor Pattison. He says, however, no formal
action will be taken to-night other than
what the Democratic caucus resolved upon
in the morning, but he intimates a further
caucus may possibly be held to-morrow. He
says tbe Republicans did exactly the same
thing with Fattisou's appointments when
Beaver took hold, and they simply re
quested a like courtesy.
The principal appointments of Governor
Beaver which were delayed confirmation
are those of D. J. Waller, Superintendent
of Public Instruction; State Librarian W.
H. Egle, Factory Inspector Martin and
managers of various State institutions, penal
and charitable. L. E. SiortEL.

FORMALLY ANNOUNCED.
CAHEROK AND TAGGART NAMED FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The Democrats Divide on Black and Ross
No Mention of Taggart's Name in the
Senate A Democratic Difficulty to Be
Settled in Caucus.
1FIIOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. 1
HAKEisBurto, Jan. 15. The events of
to-day have by no means strengthened the
anti-Cameron contingent. According to law
tbe formal nomination of candidates must
be made two days before the day of the elec
tion. Au the House will not meet again be
fore Tuesday, the time of the election, it was
necessary to make the nomiuations to-day.
Being a mere matter of form, there was. no
objection, except from the Democratic side
of the House, on account of the division in
that party, as to whether ChaunceyF. Black
or Senator Ross shall be the party nominee.
The Democratic caucus will not be held until
Monday night. An easy way out of the
difficulty was found, however, by allowing
Democrats to name as many candidates as
they want for the empty honor, any one of
whom they rnav withdraw on the election.
Captain Magnin, of Delaware county,
was the first man to get the floor for the Re
publicans. He said that on behalf of a
large number of constituents, and on behalf
of Republicans throughout the State, he
nominated for United States Senator a man
from among the people, a man of the people,
and a man who would serve the people
Austin It. Taggart. There was no second
to the nomination, but the Chairman of the
joint session repeated the name of Mr, Tag
gart as a nominee nevertheless.
James L. Graham, of Allegheny, nomi
nated J. Donald Cimeron for United States
Senator, and Mr. Stewart, of Philadelphia,
seconded the nomination. Mr. Roth, of Le
high, a Democrat, nominated George Ross,
ol Bucks county, aud Mr. Beatty, of Fayette
county, nominated Chauncey F. Black, of
York county this nomination being sec
onded by Mr. Kearns, the single Demo
cratic znemDer lrom Allegheny county. Mr.
Zigler, of Adams, nominated William A.
Wallace, but presently withdrew his name,
as Mr. AYallace has declined to enter the
race. In the Senate Mr. Taggart was not
nominated at ail, tbe nominees formally
named being Messrs. Cameron, Black and
Ross.

PECK ON THE BENNETT LAW.
WISCONSIN'S NEW GOVERNOR ANXIOUS
FOR ITS REPEAL.
He Says the Underlying Principle of the
Measure is the Strong Government
Theory It Destroys Parental Rights to
Educate Children In Private Schools.
Madison, Wis., Jan. 15. In reference
to the Bennett compulsory school law, iu
his message delivered to-day, the Governor
said:
Chapter 519 of the laws of 1SS9 has been the
source of much discussion and dissension. In
my judgment, this act, so far as it refers to
educational matters, Is unwise and unneces
sary. In many of its provisions it is an arbi
trary and unjustifiable interference with
parental rights, individual freedom and the
liberty of conscience, and I therefore recom
mend its prompt repeal. The real underlying
principle of this law is not compulsory attend
ance at school, nor a wise advancement of
popular cdncation. but in assertion of tbe
'strong government" theory as opposed to that
dearly-prized principle of personal liberty
which is the true foundation of our Govern
ment. Misrepresentations have been mado in tbe
heat ot political controversy by its defenders,
both as to the law itself and as to tbe motives
and principles of those who oppose it, which
have tended to bring our State into disrepute
among those far from the scene of conflict and
ignorant of the real matters in dispute. The
prinriple applied in this piece of legislation
would not only destroy sme of our private
schools, but would establish the right of tbe
State, or the dominant party in tbe State, to
dictate what, and what alone, all the children
within its borders -should be taught, leaving to
the minority, however large, no discretion or
freedom in the matter. A principle more sub
versive of the most important protection to in
dividual llber-y and the rights of conscience
could scarcely be imagined. The right of tbe
citizen lo "ducate his child in accordance with
the dictates of his concience,Vithout inter
ference on tbe part of the btate, should be
recognized ?nd defended.

THE jWITCH OF PRAGUE.
BE WILL FIGHT FITZ.
Pat Farrell, of This City, Challenges
the Vanquisher of Deinpsey.
AN OFFER THAT MUST BE NOTICED.
Baseball Magnates Meet in New lork and
Deal With Halters of Great Import.
GEKEEAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT
"There never was a good man but what
jthere wal a better" is a very old saying.
Some Pittsburgers think this way at least,
because they don't want the vanquisher of
Jack Deinpsey to live a day without know
ing that there is at least one man willing to
fight him.
To make a long story short a gentleman
and a prominent sporting authority called
at this office last evening and said: "I'll
now put up 81,000 for Pat Farrell, of Pitts
burg, to fight Fitzsimmons to a finish for 3.000
a side aud any substantial purse that may be
offered. My 1,000 is a guarantee to any club
that I will produce Farrell at weight, aud the
additional 51,000 moans our stake of $5,000 if our
man appears in tbe ring.
"Now, Pat Farrell. of Pittsburg, will fight
Fitzsimmons, the vanquisher of Dempsey, at
153 pounds, Queensberry rales, to a finish,
within three months from signing articles.
Farrell will fight for the stake or in presence
ot any club that offers a satisfactory purse.
This challenge is not any bluff. We thinK we
have a man who can defeat Fitzsimmons. and
if we are wrong we are prepared to pay S5,000
for the mistake to start with.
"This challenge, which has been forwarded
to the New Vork iS'uji, will stand good for six
days. If it Is not accepted by that time we will
consider that Mr. Fitzsimmons does not want
to meet Pat Farrell, of Pittsburg."
The challenger of Fitzsimmons is the good
looking young policeman who stands at the
corner of Wood street and Fifth avenue on an
afternoon. He is tbe man who knocked out,
or at least bested. Bom McCaffrey in a contest
in Philadelphia a few years ago. Farrell is
now teaching boxing to a few friends in private
when not on duty, and he is a powerful young
fellow The money behind him puts the chal
lenge in a very serious and earnest manner,
and If it is not accepted there cannot be any
fault found with those who have issued the
challenge, fcarrell bas repeatedly tried to get
on a fight with any of the middle-weights.
This may draw attention to bis claims.
THE BASEBALL TROUBLE.
Toledo Bought Oat and Boston In line for
a Peaceful Time.
The baseball magnates met yesterday. The N.
L. people did not do anything particular in the
morning except give an indication that the
Boston P. I club would" be bought out. The
Association means to have a club in Boston and
hence the argument.
The Association magnates settled the Toledo
difficulty by buying out Toledo for S7.00Q.
There are many rumors afloat regarding the
situation, but all will be settled.
The American Association adjourned late
his afternoon, after coming to an understand
ng in regard to the course to be pursued to
morrow. Toledo, Rochester and Syracuse will
be bonght ont, notwithstanding the position of
President Parsons, of Louisville. Tbe Asso
ciation, however, will wait for tbe National
League before taking any decisive step. The
Association wants to know what action will be
taken in tbe Boston matter before going ahead.
The League will meet to-morrow at 11 o'clock
and the Association at 12 o'clock. The meet
ing of the Players' League will be held to
morrow morning, and all the delegates are on
hand to-night. It is stated that J. Palmer
O'Neil will renresent Pittsburg, ho having
effected a combination in that city, and Anson
and Jim Hart appear for Chicago. Irwin and
Wagner said last night that the Players had no
intention of dissolving their League, ana that
later developments might astonish somebody.
Meyer and McAullffe.
New Oiimaus, Jan. 15.-It Is settled that
Jack McAullffe aud Billy Myer, ot Streator,
111., will fight forthe lightweight championship
fur 5,000 a side. The match was arranged this
morning, and a forfeit of $23 a side was Dosted
with Bud Renaud. Jimmy Colnllc, who is
findingjthe money for McAullffe, bas promised
Myer SLOOO for expenses, providing the West
ern man will light before the Puritan Athletic
Club.' There is no hope of a match between
McAtVIiffe and Carroll, Carroll refusing to
fight, claiming that be is well fixed, no matter
which way tbe Dempsey-Fitzsimmons fight
goes.! The agreement is to fight for abet of
lo.OMJand the largest purse which may be of
fered by tha Puritan Club, of Nw York, the
Olympic, of New Orleans, tbe Galveston, or the
California Athletic Club, of San Francico.
Tba matcn-will take place in April and papers
will be signed Thursday.
Mason Is "Willing.
James Mason, that is, "Keddy," replies to
Wise's challenge as follows: "I am through
with fighting, but I am still disposed to enter
tain a man like Bill Wise. Any evening after
I am through work I will undertake to show
that Mr. Wise has many things to learn abont
boxing. I will bet any reasonable amount on
this. It Wiso will pot up a forfeit In The Dis
patch office I will cover It and meet him to
make arrangements about our boxing contest."
