THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, APRIL 16, 188.

Sullivan will knock Mitchell out in forty minutes. I asked Sullivan if the publication were made with his authority. He said:

I would enter, however, mails of March 17th, arrived here yesterday under favorable circumstances and outside of RICHTIGUN. For the runjoined telegram-we-are---France. Nobody was more surprised than I was at the result of the late encounter, and I am indebted to our San Francisco exchanges :-

not ashamed to say so, I can't say. Mitchell ever dropped without being hit, but he fell at the slightest touch. I only got one good whack Iat him, and that disabled my arm. Another one like it would have settled him. It was no use going on, so I was satisfied to make it a draw. I don't think Mitchell will face me or any one again in a serious fight. He is a better man than I thought. I have received several telegrams from friends in America saying that they still have confidence in me."

The Grand International Hurdle Race at Croydon to-day was won by Freedom; Pie Basket was second. and Campanaula third. Five ran. The belting was 3 to fagalust Freedom and 5 to 2 each against Pie Basket and Campanaula.

Some months ago George W. Butterfield came here from San Francisco to sell some May Lundy Bad other mining properties in the Homer district California. A company was formed The with £1,000,000 to buy the property. Financial News attacked the scheme, and only £3.000 out of the 1,000,000 wanted was subscribed by the public. The attack upon the company having been continued, Butterfield has brought libel suit against the Financial News and Mr. Marks, claiming £1,000,000 damages.

The British bark Tasmania, which sailed from London on the gth inst. for San Francisco, has returned with her bowsprit gone and her stem damaged by a collision with the British ship City of Corinth, bound from Iquique for Ham burg The Tasmania is anchored off Folke- stone. The City of Corinth was sunk, and it is believed that twenty-eight lives were last.

NEW YORK, March 11th.

T. Bush, his wife, his wife's sister and to Japan. Má entire suit of storm sails is stowed away on her and two extra topmasts, jibboom and spar-galls are lashed to the decks. Her topunast has been renewed, new steering apparatus has been put in and double metal has been put uprit her hotton, one sheet higher up. Captain Christopher Crosby will take her out. Charles In addition, a boatswain, conk, messboy, ten seamen, and possibly a doctor, will go alung. Captain Crosby hopes to make San Diego in four months.

LONDON, March 12th.

The festivilics in honor of the silver wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales were held in all the European capitals. The members of royal families generally called at the British Embassiess and offered their congratulations,

In in interview, Joseph Chamberlain, referring to the Fisheries treaty, said, that the Republican Sunate might aut lie willing to allow the present Democratic Government to get the credit of framing a successful Treaty, but he did believe the Senate woukl not take the immense respon- sibility of rejecting the Treaty. He anticipated that, as with the Extradition Treaty, the Senate would postpone action on the Treaty until after the Presidential election. He did not doubt, hower'r, even if the Treaty should be rejected, that the settlement now arrived at would be the settlement ultimately selected.

Sullivan and Mitchell arrived at London this moming. Sullivan left for Liverpool a short lae afterward. Neither of the fighters showed much sign of punishment. Mitchell's friends are very jubilant over the result of the fight.

Sporting Life says: We never saw a man fight fatter than Sullivan did. Even when he was intentionally spiked he only asked Mitchell to be more careful. He has, we must admit, fallen from his high estate, but his dethronement made a man of kim

NEW YORK, March 1ath. In the interest of Jack Dempsey, Jerry Dunn has cabled "Tony" Moore, the backer of Mitchell, a challenge for $10,000 a side, to fight according b the London prize ring rules, either in Europe of America, and allowing an English referee. If the battle takes place in America Dempsey's friends will allow Mitchell $500 for expenses, and if in England they want the same allowance. Henry Bergh, founder and president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, died this morning.

No flags have been displayed at half-mast on the City Hall since the German Emperor's death. A report was circulated on Saturday that a delegation of prominent Germans called on Mayor Hewitt and requested him to have the flags so displayed, but be positively refused. It is well known that the Mayor was apposed to having the flags half-masted, as he thought it would be establishing a bad precedent. It might be misconstrued, especially at the present time, when the question of displaying foreign flags on the City Hall is prominently before the public. The Mayor expressed himself to this effect on the day of the Emperor's death.

Sullivan needs money, and will try to keep his engagements in Wales, though his arm gives him mach pain.. He has made a proposal to Mitchell for a series of sparring exhibitions, both for this country and America.

I saw Mit-hell this afternoon and asked him if he would take up the challenge of Magnus. He was drinking with friends and said: "I wish to propose the health of Sullivan, who, though beaten, is not disgraced. No. 1 shan't fight him again nor anybody else. The way I feel is that a man with a family dependent on him must be careful about engaging in serious encounters of that kind."

NEW YORK, March 14th. Wallace Rose, the oarsman who recently defeated George Bubear in a race on the Thames for the championship of England and the Sportsman's Challenge Cup, arrived in the Alaska yesterday. Ross looked in good condi tion, and referring to his meeting with the ex- champion of England, said: "There is no truth in the rumor that the race or the Thames war Ross says that if he can find a hacker he will hippodrome. I beat Bubert, and can do it again." go back to England in the spring and row Charles Carr, who has challenged him to a ace

Mary Anderson's friends are getting seriously alarmed about the delicate state of her health Last night for the third time within a few weeks the theatre was suddenly closed because she was too weak to play. She filled her part to-night, but manifestly under severe physical strain. It is doubtful whether she will be able to go through the remaining ten nights of the season.

ROME, March 16th.

An autograph letter from the Pope to Emperor Frederick which Mr. Galimberti takes to Berlin, expresses the deep sorrow of his Holiness at the death of the monkich who was unfronted by the friendliest feelings toward the Catholic Church. The Pope thanks Emperor Frederick for the tone of his proclamation, which, he says, gives him joy, inasmuch as it proves that the son cherishes the sentiments of his father-sentiments which give assurance that the relations between Prussia and the Vatican will be become more and more fiendly. The Pope, on his part, will do all in his power to secure the friendship that will be to the glory of both the Emperor and the Papacy. In conclusion his Holiness expresses the wish that the Emperor may recover his full health in the interests alike of his people and of the whole of Europe.

NEW YORK, March 16th. Ancw.malady is proving fatal to, korses in this city. It is called utemic poisoning, and the animal drops without warning, It is said to be due to lack of exercise after föll feeding, during the idleness caused by the storm. Hundreds of horses are dying of the disease.

PARIS, March 16th. The Chamber of Deputies to-day passed the budget, reserving the right to readjust the duties on liquors in a special, bill. Á number of Deputies are privately discussing the advisability offringing General Boulanger before a committee of inquiry, with a view of retiring him.

General Boulanger has had a conference with his ractical supporters in the press and Chamber of Deputies. The object of the meeting was to discuss the course to be pursued in the present situation. General Boulanger declared that be had usulvet either to resign or apply to be dispatch to Marseilles saying that General placed on the retired list. The meeting sent a Buulanger was not eligible under the electoral law and could neither accept or refuse a candidacy, and that the value of his election would lie in its effect as a national protest.

negotiating this treaty, it was hoped that he could succeed in negotiating a treaty which would be satisfactory to the Pacific coast, and it is now reported upon the best authority that the Chinese Minister had stated that his Government desired to prevent the emigration of Chinese subjects to this country. If the Chinese Minister ever made such a statement, and it is reported on good authority that he did, Secretary Bayard might easily have negotiated a treaty which would have settled the question and reflected great honor upon his administration, but the loopholes which he has left in the document make it almost unworthy of consideration by the Senate. In fact, it is doubted whether it is an improvement at all upon the present law.
