Many tilings were expected as a result of the meeting, but out side of the statement of President O'Neil, published In yesterday' Dispatch, hardly anything else -was discussed. But the di rectors assailed the statement so emphatio nlly that Fiesident O'Xeil iigrecd to publish n very imiKirtnnt coirection regarding it. The lueotmg adjourned at midnight and it will ro resumed this afternoon at 1 o'clock. It ws thought by manv that President O'Neill's resignation ould bensked for last evening, hut after the meeting a director i-;lid: THEY CANNOT IF.PO,r, HIM. "We cannot d"pose Mr. O'Xeil, and tho only war toset lum-out is for him to tender Ilis resignation. We will meet again to-morrow and we'll ee what cuf be done." AlniO"t the first liu-ines done lnt even .lng at the meeti.ig wa-, to reafflnn the Iio.ml" rr-olntion granting Manager Ilanlun Jibolute control ot the team. Secretary Scandrott -rated that Mr. McGiinnigle had Jiot signed a contract and would not sign one. About three hour ere devoted to the ditcn-.-ion of President O'Xeil's statement. It wrs condemned aslalseaml insulting to tlic bo.ud. Finall President fVXml mn. rented to make the following er important correction: "1 beg to correct a statement in mv letter or this morning. I find upon conference with the board that -alien Mr. McGunniglo arrived he stated that he had misunderstood the propo-iiion m-ide to him, and he de manded -f 1 SPO lor the ensuing three months, viz, to the end of the "-en -.on. lr.OLAl:l:l) THE I) HAL OFF. "This the board refused to agree to. Mr. McGunnigle then asked that the negotia tions be considered off. This net on Mr McGuunigle's yart relieved the board of any obligation to protect his draft or $-200, for" the reason that the misunderstanding was one entirelvof ill on n fault: and, theiefore, McGunni"le alone is to blame for the draft going to pro test. Xo contract has been executed by the clnl;with Mr. McGunnigle, although he had ngreed to accept the terms offered him hv the board, which heat the last meeting of me uoarureiusco. to accept." ANOTHER SHUT OUT. Tlie rteds and Old Radhourne rtrace Cp and Defeat Our Sluggers in a Somewhat Dead Game Good Pitching on Both Sides, but the Home Players Do Some llocky Tielding. Our sluegers-n ere beaten again yesterday by the Beds, mostly because the former plaj ed a very poor game. They were shut out once more, but they shouldn't have been if they had used a little good judgment at stages; indeed, if better Judgment had been exer cised at stages they might have w on. The attendance was probably the poorest of the season. Tho weather was bad and a drizzling rain fell almost continu ously. There was little or no enthusiasm in the con test, because it was one of the dead kind, and also because tho weather was not at all cheering. There was no stage of tho game where anything like excitement appeared Once or twice tho home pli ers got a man to third when a mn would have tied the score, but that run could not be tallied. liadbourne, the ld boss, pitched in rare form. aud the home pla ers coulanot by any lneansraake themselves at home with him. The liall was hit orten enough, but the field ing was alwaj" so brilliant n the part of tile visitors mat there was no chance at all given to score a run. Tlie lteds lcally put up a fine game and a pluck3T one. That's -wliat made them the victors although they did not cam one of their four tuns. King also pitched an excellent game lie was in Tine pitching form, but a Nemesis recm to be on his track. While Jiis pitching was great he made two wild thiows that gmethc game entire! v to thevisi'ors. In theie-peet of support he. thereiore, cannot well grumble, because ho made the co-tly mistakes himself Newell was again at tliiia, but so far he has not demonstrated that he is a hitter. Hi- fielding jesterday was tolerably lair, and it is possible that he may be a good man. The home team twice particularly looked Jike scoring. In the fourth Becklcy sent a soaker dow n the right foul line for thrcp. bags. Mack then sent up a little fly to McPhee. Cnnolllollowed with a moderately long fly to Browning. Beccley hesitated a little about trj ing to score on the throw in, but ho set out tor the run when lie saw the tin ow was a bad one. The plate was well bucked up, bowel er. and he wa- nabbed at thepost. In the sixth innintr Shusrart nmde a double nfter King was out, and Kt'ill toolishly tried the bunting act, and struck out. Shu gait stole third, but was left there. Sacrifice bitting may be all right, but yesterday it didn't eem gcod policy when a man was on in ft or second and a man out. The visitors made their first run in the second inning and it was really a gilt by McQuaid. llalligau led off and made a sin gle and got to second on a wild tlnow by Mack. Kcilly struck out and Smith Kent a grounder to Newell. The latter threw the liall to JJeckle, but it was a little of lino. b till.Beeklcy got the ball and had Smith fail ly .tut and be was called sate. Keenan's sacn Jiee "-cored llalligau. In thesecnth inning, after John Reilly Mas out, smith made a single and Keenan followed with another to center. Reillv fumbled the hall and smith reached third, ltadbonrne mado a kind of a bunt into tho c'iimond and King got the ball and threw it wildly to Beckley. As a result.rUd i eached thiid. and Smith and Keenan scored. Bad liounie scored on a sacrifice hit by McPhee. bcorc: riTTnuKG. R b r A E CI.NCN'T'I. n b p a i i4irgart. a . Jttiiir, m.. Ilnklcy. 1.

This time he kept in fro it all the way. Emma forced him out in 2:15 then it was five to two on the roan gelding, but Maggie U rushed past him at once in the third heat and got home first in 2:15.

Proctor Knott, at one time tho most famous horse on the turf and still tho pride of Kentucky, is ill from lung fever- In making the trip from Chicago to Saratoga ho contracted a cold which devel oped into tho most dangerous disease. Hiram Scoggan, one of tho brothers who owned him, received a letter from the veter inary surgeon at Saratoga saying that the chances for Proctor's recovery were about even. The famous gelding's career on the turf is probably ended. It is the history of the turf that no horse with the lung fever ever amounted to anything afterwaid. The disease leaves tho wind "touched," a fatal defect in a race horse. Will Enter Racine. Chicago, July 28. The Garfield Park to day received a telegram from Thomas H.

I SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCn. I Indianapolis, July 28. Goven or Hovey recently sent his agent, John " V. Coons, to Washington to look after the & ), 000 due the State in repayment of :li rect war tax. If half is true tiat is reported the agent has discov ered much unmitigated rascally or idiotic bookkeeping in Washington qe partments. In digging among the Wash ington documents Coons unearthed tie fact that ?200,000 is due the State, tie greater part of which, he says, the Govern ment has given its assurance to repay. There were found warrants amounting o $40,000, which included vouchers duplicati d as often as four times, raised vouchers arid false ones, many of them in favor of some if the most prominent persons in this city. One voucher for fo3 70 was raised by un known persons to 55,370 and collected. That this money was paid is certain, but who the beneficiaries ot tms vast swindle are, or whether the money was received by the State, is not known. Private authority says that the visit of Coons has set the Washington officials to looking up records and that evidences of gigantic fraud will un doubtedly be found. The Government seems satisfied that Indiana never read the 46,000 charged to her name. THE STRIKE ON AGAIN. A List of Discharged Operatives Renews the Dobson's Mills Troubles. PniLADF.LPHiA, July 28.

Before manv had doffed their street ap parel for their mill suits, however, Superin tendent Bentlv was seen going from loom to loom bearing a paper containing a long list oi names, it was a roil oi tnose to oe discharged. As each received the unlooked for notice, his loom was knocked oft' and he left the mill. Thirty-eight black-listed men and women were soon congregated on Itidge avenue discussing the situation. About an hour after a squad of nearly 100 sympathizers also quit work and joined the discharged working people. A meeting was soon organized, when the Messrs Dobson were violently denounced. The meeting continued until noon, when another large force joined the crowd. Those who had remained at their work were stopped on their way home and coaxed to stop. work. At 1 o'clock all but 75 old weavers and 22 imported weavers again joined the strikers.' A CTTEI0BS TELEPHONE STJIT. Lawyers Will Grow Fat Because a Man Got Two Wires at One Call. The solons of Norrkoping, Sweeden, are puzzling over a telephone suit that pre sents the following curious dilemma: A man rang up a livery stable to call for a cab. In some way he got two stables nt once on his wire and two cabs came, the one from the stable he didn't call first. He took it, and the one he meant to call came later, waited two hours and went back. Both stables now demand fare; the cus tomer refuses to pay either. The one he rode in he didn't call, he says, and the one he called he didn't ride in. A string of long legal opinions has been rendered in the case, but no money has yet been paid to anyone but the lawyers. BALMACEDA'S SUCCESSOR CHOSEN.

WEDNESDAY, JULY DIXON IS CHAMPION. The Colored Pugilist From Boston Soon Settles Mr. Willis. ONLY FIVE BOUNDS WERE NEEDED. The American Declared the Best Bantam lighter in the World, GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN THE FIGHT San Francisco, July 28. George Dixon, of Boston, and Abe Willis, of Australia, fought at the gymnasium of the California Athletic Club to-night for a purse of $5,000 and tho bantamweight championship of the world. Willis was practically unknown to many here and the betting before the fight was in Dixon's favor, ranging from $100 to $70 to $100 to $90. Great interest was taken in the fight here nnd tho club room was filled. The men had trained faithfully and both were in perfect condition. Hiram Cook was referee. Dixon's seconds were Tim O'Eourke, Mitch ell and Billy Akers. Willis was seconded by Martin Murphy and Billy Smith. in the first round tho men sparred care fully for fully a minute, Dixon showing tho greater advantage in reach. Then Dixon led and caught Willis on the Jaw, sending him dowu. Whon he rose there was the liveliest kind of a rally, the men slugging each other at close quarters, Dixon plainly having the best of it. Willis hugged as much as possible. The second round was opened cautiously by both men. Dixon rushed, but accom plished nothing. A moment later he planted a swinging lelt on the Australian's jaw. Several sharp rallies and much clinching followed, then they kept np a see-saw on each other's jaws at the closest possible range. The round closed with cheers for both men. During the third round both were very wary at first. Dixon then landed his left on Willis' body nnd right on his jaw. Neither blow did much damage. In tho fourth round, after two minutes of sparring, Dixon rushed and landed on Willis' jawand body several times, receiving two shnrp blows in return. Both were very quick and saved themselves by aodging. The fifth round was opened like the others. Neither seemed disposed at first to rush and force matters. Toward the closo there was a sharp rally near the i opes, in which it was give and take for a moment, though Dixon was nlainlv landinir harder and oftener. Presently Dixon caught the Australian on tho Jaw with his left and sent him down. Willis rose to his hands and knees nnd took his ten seconds on the floor. He arose and when he did Dixon rushed him; he stood prepared to receive tho attack. Ho was not ablo to do much, however, m the rally that followed, and Dixon's right soon came into contact with Willis' jaw, and the latter went down flnt on his back. He fell heavily, and lay like a log. When ten sec onds had expired Willis' seconds had to lift him from the floor, nnd Dixon was declared the winner. The colored man seemed as strong as when tho fight commenced. SOLD HIS KENNEL. W. L. Washington, of this City, Parts With His Famous Irish Setters. W. L.

I was in clined to back Hall, as 100 to 60 were offered on Fitzsimmons. "I met Charley Glade and he told me he thought the fignt was a put-up job, and I didn't go.

A PECULIAR thing about rivermen is that they are alwaj s watching for up-rive:' news, especially after a rain. The question was asked a Dispatch representative yesterday, "What is the latest from up the river?" and like tlie proverbial Yankee, it was answered by the question, "You are not ex pecting another rise, are you? Besides, there is nothing to go out." "WclL you see we always have more or less craft tied up along the shore, aud it takes a continual watch so that the rivers do not come np on ns too fast and sweep them from the moorings, or go down too suddenly and leave them high and dry, which cause them to warp and spring a leak. This has been a very good year for rivermen, as a whole, but 1 hope the present stage of water will continue for about six weeks, as there Is plenty of coal In the lower markets, and it will give us a chance to stock up for the fall rise." MIL1MEN BETTJBN TO W0BK. A Big Strike in New Brunswick About to Come to an End. St. John, N. B., July 28. Representa tives of the Millmens' Union have met George Barnhall and George W. Murray, mill owners. The latter submitted a prop osition to the representatives to the effect that if tne men returned to work, the old honrs and wages would be adhered to and that, should a re duction of wages be necessary at any time, it could pot be more than 6 per cent, or 10 cents a day. This proposition was signed by all pres ent and will be submitted to a meeting of the union. Being accepted by the union's representatives, in all probability the proposition will be accepted by the union at large, and if so the men will be at work in these two mills immediately. This would virtually mean the strike of 1,500 men was over and that the nine-hour sys tem was adopted. ANGL0-FEEUCH AMENITIES. Tho French Squadron Will Bo Visited by the Queen at Portsmouth.

Great Increase of Exports and an Ex cess Over the Imports. THE EFFECTS OF THE NEW TAELFF More Gold and Silver Sent Out Than Was Brought From Abroad. OVER HALF A MILLION PEOFLE AKRIYE WAsniNOTON, Julv 28. The Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department has issued a summary statement and review of the foreign commerce and immigration of the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891. The statement says that the total value of the commerce for the past fiscal year was the greatest in the history of the Govern ment, and exceeded total value of com merce of 1890 by 582,191,803. The com merce of1890 was the largest for any year in the history of the Government, exceed ing the commerce of the prior year by $159, 60ti,063. Our total commerce during the past fiscal year amounted to 51,729,330,896. During the year there was an increase in imports of merchandise in the order of magnitude in the following articles, coffee, tin plates, hides and skins, fruits, chemicals and drugs, india rubber and gutta percha, sugar and molasses, etc. There has been a decline in our imports of wool and manu factures here of silk and manufocturers there of hemp and jute, manufacturers there of brcadstuffs and animals. VALUE OF THE IMPORTS. The total value of our imports of mer chandise during the last year was 5844, 903,491. The total value of our exports of merchandise during the same period was 5884,452,405 which shows an excess in favor of exports, during the fiscal year of 539, 519,914. It will be seen then, says the state ment, that during the nine" months since the new tariff went into effect, of the total value of merchandise imported into this country 46.96 per cent came in free, while during the corresponding period of 1890, 34.92 per cent was admitted free. In fact, it appears that the value of merchandise imported free during- the last nine months of the past fiscal year was greater by 530, 000,000 than the value of such merchandise admitted during the whole of 1890, and nearly 540,000,000 greater than during the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 1889. The exports of gold and silver during the lost fiscal year nere 5108,729,288; and the imports were 536,212,334, an excess of ex ports of 5"2,516,9.,4. There has been a large increase in the volume of immigration into the United States during the lost fiscal year. The total number arriving" was 555,456 as against 451,219 during the fiscal year 1890, Showing an increase during the last fiscal year of 104,277. DOMESTIC EXPORT EXCESS. There was also an excess of exports of do mestic merchandise over such exports of the prior year of 526,941,737 The increase in these exports has been in the following ar ticles, stated in order of magnitude of in creased Haw cotton, provisions, refined sugar, cotton manufactures, copper and manufactures thereof, iron and steel and manufactures thereof. The value of the lead ing articles of export from the United States during the past year was as follows: Cotton, 5290,708,838; breadstuff's, 5127,668, 092; provisions, 5198,176,638. Since the new tariff law has been in oper ation in America to Jnne 1, 1891, inclusive, the total value of the imports of merchan dise were 5630,206.003, as compared with 5598.769,905, the value of such imports for the corresponding period of 1890, which shows an excess for the nine months of 1891 of 531,436,100. The value of-the imports of merchandise admitted free of duty dnrincf the inine months ended June 30, 1891, was 5295,963, 665, while the, value of such imports for tho corresponding period of 1890 was 5208,983, 873, showing an increase in the imports of free merchandise during the past nine months of 586,979,792. During the same period ended June 30, 1891, the imports in merchandise paying duty was of the value of 5334,242,340, as compared with 5389,786,032 for the corresponding period of 1890, so that it appears there has been a de crease during the last nine months of the fiscal year.

OVERWHELMING PROOF Of the Superior Skill of the Electro- pathic Physicians at 507 Penn Avenue. Mr. J. Palmer, one of Pittsburg'3 moss estimable citizens, living on Lawn street, near Craft avenue (Fourteenth ward), in speaking of tho rapid and wonderful recov ery he made from a case of rheumatism that had sorely afflicted him for over eight months, says: "Only those who have been afflicted with a similar trouble can have any idea of my sufferings. These pains, sometimes dull, other times sharp and shooting, made every muscle and nerve throb with aches that wera unbearable. My joints felt stiff, and every movement was attended with EXCRUCIATING SUFFERINGS. " "Even my most quiet moments were dis turbed with the twinges of an aching body. I tried different so-called cures without avail, though some afforded me a temporary relief. Mr. John Palmer, Laicn St., near Craft ace. "I saw several articles in tho newspapers regarding the physicians of tho Electrc pathic Institute at"557 Penn avenue, and, as a last resort, concluded to consult the physi cians in charge. Thcyat once diagnosed my case as chronic rheumatism, and assured me that TIIFA' COULD CURE ME. "That their promise is fulfilled beyond my highest expectations is proved by my present condition. I can walk easily, sleep well and my every movements are without pain. Eacli treatment has benefited mo more than the last, until now I am convinced that the electrical treatment as admin istered by tho physicians of the Electro pathic Institute is the most scientific and rational, and productive of better and more permanent results than any other. My strongest words of approval and recommen dation shall at all times be u.-ed in their be half." PARALYSjSCURED. Bed-Ridden and Suffering for Years a Paralytic, Yet Mrs. John Fields. Un able to Move Tier Limbs, Is Final ly Relieved by the Physicians of the Electropatliic Institute. "It has been over five years since I was first stricken with this malady, paralysis, and what I suffered in that time can scarcely be described." The speaker was Sirs. John Fields, residing at 30 Beaver avenue, Alle gheny. Mrs. John Fields, SO Beaver Avenue, Allegheny. "I had been feeling very well all day, when suddenly, without warning, I received tha stroke which made mo porfectly helpless. I could not make any movement without as sistance. 31y whole body felt as cold as Ice. For 11 months I lay downstairs, my rela tives fearing to move me. During that time a number of physicians were in constant attendance, and, whilo I would seem to rally, there was never any perceptiblo per manent change for the better. Often times I wished at the close of the day that before morning came a mercifnl Providence would END MY SUFFERINGS. "Mvhnsbnndhadsncnt vast sninsof money in trying different enres, but to no avail. I concluded to try, as a last resort, the effi cacy of the electrical treatment as applied by tho physicians of the Electropathic In stitute, 507 Penn avenue. "The first treatment I received benefited mo so much that I was able to lift my arm above my head. For six months before that time I had been totally unable to raiso my arms at all. I gradually inmroved until now I can do numerous duties that I never dreamt would be my good fortune to do again before I died. "I unhesitatingly recommend these physi cians nnd their methods, and feel sure that they will effect a permanent cure where re lief is at all possible." YEARS 0FSUFFERING.

"Formore than five years I suffered as I did nottbink it possible for a human being to suffer and live." The speaker was Mrs. Mary J. Confer, who lives at 113 Lacock street, Allegheny. "I was first stricken with rheumatism, and to anyone who bos suffered from this diseasa I need not describe its tortures. Had con stant pains shooting from ono muscle or Joint to another, and constant heavy, dull aches. To this was added tho pangs and ex cruciating twinges of neuralgia. "My life was one of misery, and mere EXISTENCE A TORTURE. "The constant pain I suffered finally xe sultedin complete nervous prostration. In somnia, or sleeplessness1, was added to my other ills, and I wa's in a state bordering upon frenzy. "I doctored with the best physicians in Pittsburg and wasted quantities of money, all to no avail. While at times I was helped, temporarily, my case constantly grew WORSE AND WORSE. "My attention was called to the Pittsburg Electropathic Institute, at 507 Penn avenue, and as a forlorn hope I determined to try a course of electricity. I applied to tho physicians in charge, and after diagnosing my case they placed me under treatment. "To make a long story short, after a regu lar course of treatment I am entirely cured.
