CORBETT IS KING. John L. Sullivan Knocked Out in Twenty-one Rounds. HE WAS BADLY PUNISHED, Corbett at the Finish Was Smiling and Without a Scratch. It Was Over Two Minutes Before Sullf von Recovered from the Effects of the Terrific Blow That Won the Battle. The Fight Was Really Corbett's from the Start, as Ho Hit His Opponent About as lie Pleased and Got Away Nearly Every Time Without a Return. When Sullivan Recovered Conscious ness He Told the Crowd He Was Glad an American Won the Championship. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. B.—John Lawrence siillivan, champion of the world for ten years, was defeated last night for the first time in his life. James John Corbett boat him in twenty-one rounds, fought un dor the Marquis of Quoensbury rules. The official time of the light was one hour and twenty-one minutes and forty-five seconds. The old champion looked fifteen years older than his actual age as he stood in the ring at the close of the battle with his face swollen and distorted, and every man of the 7,000 persons pitied him. Ho was never in the battle with Corbett, and lost the championship, the purse of $25,000 and the side bet of SIO,OOO. From the start youth, agility aud science wore arrayed against advancing years, over- KS j I . confidence and strength, and Sullivan had no chance against such odds. Corbott is regarded as a marvel, and he generous y helped to raise his opponent when ho had beat him into insensibility. Cor bett's friends bore him from the ring in triumph at the conclusion of the fight. All of Sullivan's fond hopes have been dashed to the earth, and ho was the picture of de- Bpair as he left the ring. The Olympic club decided that Sullivan would not bo allowed to wear a plaster on his stomach. Corbett protested against | this as soon as he arrived in town, and when Sullivan was formally notified of the pro test, which proceeding was gone through in the afternoon, the big fellow said ho "didn't give a blank. He'd let the blank plaster go to blank if thero was any kick about it from that young fellow" (meaning James J. Cor bett.) The Men's Weights. The champion seemed to invite defeat. Early in the afternoon he sent a special re quest to the club managers that ho bo allowod to occupy the corner out of which no man has come a victor, and in which Dempsey, Maher, Myor and Skelly mot de feat. His request was acceded to, but he would I probably have been assigned to that corner anyway, for Corbett won the toss and chose the corner. Some of the more superstitious of his backers were plainly displeased when they heard that Corbett had won the toss, but they believed their man would win against all odds. Their dis pleasure was not of long duration. The an nouncement had scarcely been made when Jack McAuliffe, Dixon and Skelly caino trooping into the building, the trio receiv ing a very warm ovation. An instant later, as Sullivan and Corbett appeared from their dressing rooms almost simultaneously, the vast throng aroso as if one body and sent up a cheer that was taken up by the multitude on the outside and echoed and re-echoed until it reached the furthermost end of the Crescent City, five miles away. For fully five minutes tho din was deafen ing as tho great crowd shouted out their good wishes and sent up volley aftor volley of cheers for the gladiators. Tho men got to their corners with as little delay as pos sible. Then all hands collected in the middle of the ring and shook hands, handlers and all. It was announced that Sullivan weighed 212 pounds and Corbett 187. Sullivan was attended by Charlie Johnston and Jack : McAuliffe, and Professor Donaldson and Billy Delaney acted as Corbett's seconds. Both men looked well, hut Corbett was plainly in tho better condition. Sullivan in a Rage. Once settled in the ring, tho men studied j each other closely, though Corbett was ap parently thoughtless of everything, except a commonplace conversation ho was having with his seconds. Then Professor Duffy advanced and handed the gloves to the fighters. Both men advanced to tho center of the ring, and though Duffy was giving them the formal'lecture, neither heard a word he said. Sullivan was glaring viciously at the man whom he contemptuously referred to as the bank clerk, while Corbett smiled in a most aggravating way. Both bowed to Duffy when he had concluded and wont to their corners whore tho glovos were ad justed. They were almost ready to be called to the battlo which would forever destroy the reputation of Sullivan or confirm him in the championship, when Duffy apologetic ally approached him uud asked if he had upon him any plasters of pitch or other preparation. "Not any, sir," replied Sullivan, as Duffy examined him and found nothing. "But," conviauea no, *-ii Air. uoroott uns no pins i tors upon him now he will need them to , , cover the holes I will punch in him." 1 Duffy then announced the result of his j j examination to tho Corbett party. (\>rlett ; smiled as if ho had not, expected any to bo , found, but did it to rouso John's blood up ; to the point where ho would lose both his I temper and his judgment. Throe minutes later and both men ad- j I vancod to the center of tho ring to shake hands. Sullivan scowled, quickly grabl>ed | the baud of his antagonist and then half dropped, half flung it away with a derisive j gesture. Corbett's chuckle could be heard half | through the clubhouse. All tho blood in j tho champion's body seemed to have rushed into his nock aud face. He was beside him- ! self with rage, and only growled at his second, who whispered to him. His friends felt fearful of the result thou, for Corbett's coolness was something they had not cal- j culated on. and Sullivan's anger would be a serious handicap if not indeed an all sufii -1 cient one to defeat him. This was the con- j dition of the men, mentally and physically, I as thoy stood facing each other. Tho fol lowing is the fight by rounds: The Fij;lit by Rounds. Round 1 -This was a ridiculous exhibition of prize lighting. Sullivan made no loss than i Fovea feints with tho left for Corbett, but Cor bett run around the riug each time aud no j blow was struck. Round 2—Corbett made no effort to do any thing but walk around. The big fellow stood up leisurely and looked at Corbott, who then lot go a left on Sullivan's shoulder, and a clinch followed. On the breakaway Corbett touched him on tho breast. Another clinch followed, and Corbett tried to land his left on Sullivan's face. Jim did got in a slight blow on the stom ach before the second round ended, aud tho crowd was happy. Round 3—Sullivan missed a loft handor for tho jaw and then touched him on the stomach. It was a rattler—of no harm, however. Tho first good blow struck was by Corbett, who ran in on top of a run by Sullivan. Corbott also reached two lofts on Sullivan's body. Whenever Sullivan led Corbott ducked and John could not touch liiin. This occurred throe times. i Round 4—Sullivan mado two runs at Corbott, ' but Jim ran away and no blow was struck. ; Sullivan continued to run in on him, but Jim's foot were too good for tho big follow and ho slipped away like a good sprinter. Sullivan laughed at tho business, and Corbett let his loft go lightly on John's face. John laughed tho ; more, and returned his left on Corbett's back as Jim turned away. I Round s—ln this round Sullivan caught Cor bott a fairly hard blow on tho chin, but Cor bott clinched and nobody was hurt. Sullivan missed with the left and followed that with a triflor on the shoulder with tho left. Sullivan mado a rush and Corbott went at him. What followed is hard to describe. Corbott smashed him with right and left on tho stomach and face, and had tho big fellow's nose bleeding in 1 no time-right and loft, and Sullivan was not in it. Corbett hammered him as a Dixon could prnacK a Skelly, and the great champion bo came so surprised that many persons said that ho was groggy. Tho activity and cleverness shown by Corbott was so admirable that the house got up and yellod. j Round o— Corbott jumped around like a cat and worried the big follow, getting in two light blows on tho stomach. .Sullivan mis.- d one loft hander for the face, but otherwise nothing was done in the round. ! Round 7—'Two slaps on tho body, ouo from each, opened this round, and aftor a bit of lighting Corbott lot bis left go on John's stomach. John did not soem to mind it, but Corbott went at him and gave him two good smacks on the face with his left and two more soon after. Sullivan's nose was bleeding again freely. Corbott ran in and rushed Sullivan to the ropes, lotting go right and left on the big fellow's body. Sullivan could make no return, Ho was tired when he went to his corner, though ho had done nothing in tho round but take punishmeut. Sullivan Worried and Weary. Round B—Sullivan came out worried looking, lie made a left hand lunge at Corlx tt, but Cor bett ducked clevorly. In a rally Sullivan landed his right on the ribs, but Corbott got in two good left jabs on tho body, one in the face, and again two light ones in tin- face and two on tho body. Sullivan seemed to be played out or waiting fur a chance to land the knockout blow. ! Round !' -Corbett again led, but without of foot. Sullivan led his left, but Corbott ducked* Then Sullivan gave him a backhander on tho face, with but little harm, and gave him an other left on tho shoulder. Sullivan did not ! ehow any want of wind, although Corbott hit ! him five times, one after the other, three on the j body and two on the face. Corbott was away ahead in points, but his blows did not seem to j i weaken the big follow, who appeared only tired. Round 10 (,'orbett stood up to his man like a major, and the men eyed each other like pan thers. Sullivan let go his left for tho jaw, but only touched lightly. Sullivan missed with tho ' loft. Both landed left on the face, but weakly The same again. Sullivan's left found Corbett's face lightly. Sullivan missed with his left and ' Corbett jumped back. Corbott landed left on face. Sullivan got left in tho face lightly. Round 11 -It now began to look like a long fight. Sullivan could not get in a straight blow on tho clever Californian, and Corbott could not hurt John L. when ho did laud. A couple 1 of light passes and a good deal of running around by C. rbott. Corbett hit Sullivan in tho face with his left twice, and with loft and right j in a clinch. Sullivan's nose again bleeding; ; Corbett walking around. Corbett got two good cracks on Sullivan on tho faco and stomach. Round 12-Sullivan was still steady and it lookod as though.thoy might fight lUO rounds. I C..rbott got in liis left three times in the stom ach within three seconds, getting away ouch time ami running around. Great cleverness | was shown by Corbett in the way ho jabbed \ and got away, hut his blows did not soem to he | effective. Sullivan now made a rush, but Cor- | belt ran away, and when he came back ho laughed. Sullivan tried the same thing twice now and each time got a jab with the left on his stomach. Round 13—Sullivan had a weary look when he carao from his corner, and then let go his left, lie could not get thero, as Corbett ran away | This scene was repeated. When Corbett came forward ho was smllln K , but pornpiriiig a K , ,„ t i deal. Sullivan rushed him and Jim ran awa*\ Sullivan did all the moving up and Corbett was ' , jumping backward. Nothing was done in this J round except ono light blow of Corbett's on Sullivan's chcok. Sullivan Getting Desperate. Round 14—Sullivan led with his left on Cor. ' bett's neck and Corbott landed bis left on Sulli ! van's neck; both countered with left on the face. [ Corbett landed two lefts on tho face and in an other attempt both missed. Corbett uguin got bis left on Sullivan's face and thou missed with ! his right. Both missed a double blow with the left. No blow struck in the round would have ! broken a pane of glass. [ Round 15 -Sullivan went in todo Corbett this time and rushed Jim throe times. The Califor nian's long reaeh held John at bay, and the big follow could not break in under the guard. On the contrary, Corbett's loft had found Sulli van's faco twice. In two more rushes by Sulli van Corbett held him off and plunked John L. on tho ribs and stomach with his left. Bullivan had become very ugly looking before tho end of round, but Corbett did not mind that a bit. He went in dancing away from blows as before. 1 Round Hi A mutual rush occurred at tho i : ojicning of this round, but both missed their i blows. Bullivan fell short with a right, handor, , and C>rbett hit him on tho nose lightly. This | Corbett followed up with a jab in tho stomach j and two on tho u.*e with his loft. Bullivan j appeared to be getting desperate. He went at j Corbett cautiously, but hard. Corbett was not 1 j thero. John L. seems more worried than ever, ' ; especially when ho received another tap on the j nose from Corbett. j Round 17—Sullivan suc - ded in getting a , little left on Corbott's fare; with this exception I thero was only fibbing during the round. Tin house had a good deal to laugh at in the men's j actions, but nothing to got excited over. Round 18-Corbett's cleverness in tapping 1 Sullivan and getting away was greatly admired up 10 tnts iime, and wnen no jabbed the mg fellow four times on the face in succession the spectators raised a howl. Sullivan hero got in a left on Corbett's breast, but it did not hurt. Then Corbett touched John L. up for two right banders on the body amid inoro howls. The people seemed to bo with Corbett. Round 10—On coming together Sullivan hit Corbott on the neck with the left pretty hard, aud Corbett count red with tho left on tho I stomnch. Sullivan missed a loft meant for the j face, and Corbett laughed at him. At that : Sullivan's faco took u a savage smile; ho | chased Corl>ett around tho ring. Corbett again came forward and lauded Ids left on Sullivan's ! stomach and face and his right on tho big fel low's stomach. Knocked Unconscious. | Round 20—Sullivan's loft struck Corbett's breast as they came to the center of tho ring, I but not two seconds occurred afterward before Corbott sailed into him. With loft and right Corlwtt caught Sullivan on both sides of the head close to tho ropos, and this same doso the Californian repeated within anotlior socond. Corbott followed this up with sevon more blows of the same kind, and Sullivan could not protect hinisolf. Sullivan could not got in a singlo blow in return. Ho was plainly groggy ; and weak. Corbott was very fresh and confi dent at tho sound of tho gong, at which time ho was smashing Sullivan at a great rate with left and right on loth sides of the head. Round 21— In regard to this trilling minute and a half, which decided the hoavywoight championship of the world, a great deal might be said oven in tbat short time. That tho con test would end in that round no man present believed. Sullivan came from his corner in tho sumo shape that he had shown for a dozen rounds before. Ho had tho saino cross expres sion on his faco and suomod to bo as strong us at any time during that period. He continued to do the "edging in" nnd Corbett followed bis original tactics of "edging away." This Burt of trade was not going on very long, not more than ton soconds, wliou Corbett jumped back, rushed forward, hit John on tho nose and John was dazed. Corbott wont at him fur ther, and the same old noso was again smashed and more blood came out. John looked as tounded, and Corbett jumped back with the merry smile of a schoolboy with a big apple. Suddenly he returned to tho fray, and before Bullivan knew what was the meaning of tho Californian's happy look ho got a crack on the Bide ol tho head that made him closo his eyes. With this Corbott was on top of him in no time. Loft hand on one side of tho head and right hand on the othor, poor John L. Bullivan l>o came an unconscious, beaten man. Ho stag gered about on his pins for a second or so, and while displaying this fatal woakness Corliett wont down on him again, as a crow lights ou corn whore there is no dummy in the middle of tho field. A right on tho ear and a loft on the jaw settled tho business and tho championship. The last blow sent tho great John L. Bullivan to tho floor with a thump, tho socond time in all his long careor as a fighter that he had ever been knocked down, but he was down this time fairly and finally. It was a clean and clever knock out blow. Bullivan doubled up his legs as though in pain, but in another instant eeemed to collect his senses and made an effort to rise Ho failed in that, nnd tried the second time with tho same result. lie was knocked i out, puro nnd simple, liis seconds had to come | to him and assist him to his corner. Even then j John L. was out nnd did not know what was going on. It was not for over two minutes that John L. recoverod himself. Sullivan's Manly Speech. In the meantime Corbett had retired to his corner, on tho order of the referee, while the man who has so long beeu known as tho champion of champions was counted out and carried to his chair. When tho ten 6oconds wero at last at an end Professor Mike Donavau, of the New York Athletic club, and W. A. I'rady, Corbett's manager, sprang to the stage and flung their arms around tho young man who was now the champion pugilist of the world and the winner of £35,000 in purse aud stakes, as well as n reputation that will turn perhaps ten times that amount into his exchequer. Corbett returned tlio cordial salutation with a hearty einbraco, while the tears welled up into his eyes. Others jumped up to the clever Californian and hugged him. They had probably won money at 2 or 8 to 1 on Jim. While this hugging was going on Sulli van's handlers wero pouring water over him aud placing ammonia to his nose, and with much trouble brought him around. When ho did come to he looked up at Jack McAuliffe, who was fanning him with the towel, and after opening his eyes half way, or as far as ho could, said in his more than ordinary bootleg voice: "Say, am I licked? Did that young fel low clo it?" McAuliffe sorrowfully admitted that that was the case. John didn't say any more until Corbett came over and shook hands \ with him. John got up, took Corbett's hand and then spoko to the crowd. "Gentlemen," said the ex-champion, "I am only glad that the championship has been won by an American." This speech brought down tho house as it ! has not boon affected during all the week. , There was a great wild aud woolly west, hot southern, mad, enthusiastic yell when Corbett knocked John L. Sullivan out, but that noise was not more than a markor to tho wild, madhouse demonstration that tho gang made when John L. said those manly words. NANCY HANKS AGAIN.

Briefly stated, France asked for a certain amount of space in each of the big build ings ; tho amount is what experts considered necessary to make a proper showing of the country's resources and products; rather than accept a smaller area and have an in ferior show France will make no show ut all. All the correspondence in the case was sont to the all powerful council of adminis tration in the hope that away would be found to accommodato France. Tho coun cil took no action on tho matter, but the executivo committee of tho local board complicated tho situation by refusing to put up a separate building for tho department of liberal arts.

FIGHTING THE SCOURGE Vigilant Health Officials Bar Dread Cholera's Progress. TEN NEW OASES IN NEW YOKE BAY Hut Not a Case as Yet Appears In the Threatened City—Chauneey Depew In Quarantine with Other Distinguished Passengers—Hamburg a Morgue. NEW YORK, Sept. B.—The black pall of cholera hanging over the waters of New York bay appears to be lifting. Asia's plague seems to be yielding to tho efforts of quarantine to wipe it ont at the harbor en traaco to this oity. Death did not claim a victim among the unfortunates on the steamships anchored at the lower quaran tine station. Neither was there a death among the patients in the hospitals on Swinburne island. The sunlight of hope which on Wednesday was faintly seen be hind the cloud of sorrow now seems to have fairly broken its way through. But while there were no deaths there were now cases, ten of them. The disease, however, has not yet touched the cabin passengers. Two of those stricken were steerage passengers on the Rugia. Tho other eight were members of the Norinau nia's crew. An unfortunate lot they seem to be, for the cholera has stricken many of them. Tho problem of how to separate tho healthy passengers, who had been exposed to no reasonable chance of infection, from those who had been in serious risk and among whom tho dread plaguo might be lurking, was the most serious question. So Berious was it that Secretary of the Navy Tracy came to the city and joined Secre tary of the Treasury Foster and ex-Surgeon General Hamilton in considering this ques tion. Secretary Tracy and Secretary Foster joined most heartily with tho health au thorities of the state and city in grappling with this problem, the importance of which grows with the arrival of every vessel. Secretary Tracy offered on behalf of the navy department tho use of the old frigate Now Hampshire for the reception of the cabin passengers on the Normannia. All Treated Alike. Dr. Jenkins has asked for the use of Fire island, and he has been allowed the use of Bandy Hook. Tents can be erected there, and telegraphic communication wi%h the city will be both safe and constant. Some of the sound boats now idle may also be utilized. The equality of all American citizens of Whatever rank or wealth before the law was again shown when the City of New York steamed into the lower bay, having on board Dr. Chauneey M. Depew, the wife and daughter of Secretary of the Treasury Foster and the daughter of St*jretary of Agriculture Rusk. With all the other passengers of the City of New York, they will be detained uutil all danger is past. That, however, may not be for more than a day, as the City of New York was thoroughly fumigated and disin fected before leaving Liverpool, aud there have been no serious cases of illness on board. Other large steamships arriving were tho Waesland aud Spree. The lower bay is now so crowded with tho detained ocean liners that navigation is becoming difficult, if not dangerous. The terrors of possible collisiou are added to tho terrors of the present plague. HAMBURG REEKS WITH DEATH. Hundreds of Rodles Unburled and the Disease Spread i in the Suburbs. HAMBURG, Sept. B.—There have been 910 fresh cases in the city. The deaths num ber 802. The disease has gained virulence in the suburbs. At Barmbeck the mortal ity is five cases in seven. In Winterbude, near the Ohlsdorf cemetery, where the number of cases had decreased steadily up to yesterday, there has been a fresh out break, and whole families are dying after a few hours' illness. This outbreak is supposed to have been due to the carelessness with which burials have been made in the cemetery recently. Hundreds of bodies have been placed at in sufficient depth under ground, so that a few days of rain and sun have sufficed to bring out tho germs of the disease and Bpread them on all sides. * Scores of funerals from the hospitals pass through the adjacent district daily, aud often twenty or thirty dead wagons havo remained blocked at the ontranco. The report given out by the hospitals yes terday that their dead had been buried turns out to be false. Today there have been 629 burials, or 131 more than yestor day and 100 more than on the worst pre vious days since the plague came. Never theless, 700 bodies are still unburied. Half of these are in the hospitals, which are so crowded with the dead that their accom modations for the ill are seriously curtailed. Most of the other half are in the district near the Ohlsdorf cemetery. The president of the board of health has been dismissed from office. This was done in partial deference to public opinion, which has held him responsible largely for the neg lect which characterized the board's con duct during the early stage of tho plague and for the falsehoods with which it has tried to minimize its culpability. Thirty Thousand Dead In Persia. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. B.—Advices from Teheran are to the effect that the cholera epidemic has ceased and the bazaars are open again. Tho mortality in the city from cholera is estimated at 13,000. Six new cemeteries have been peopled with the dead. In all Persia there have been about 30,000 deaths from the epidemic. Eighty New Cases In Paris. PARIS, Sept. 8.-—There have beon eighty fresh cases and thirty-one deuths in the city. Yesterday there were thirty-two fresh coses in the suburbs and twenty-one deaths. A Case in Rotterdam. ROTTERDAM, Sept. B.—A sailmaker from the steamship Workemlam is ill of Asiatic cholera in this city. General Anderson Dead. PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. B.—General James R. Anderson, of Richmond, Va., died at the Isles of Shoals. He was a graduate of West Point aud entered the Confederate service In 1861. President Nunez Resigns. PANAMA, Sept. B.—On account of failing health, Dr. Doc Rafael Nunez, president of Colombia, has resigned his office. Tekulsby Re-elected. NEW YORK, Sept.
