HIS ILLNESS QUITE SERIOUS It Is Serious in 'More Ways Than One, for His Death Mightnesult in an Upris- ing in Favor of the Pretender—Rus- sia Holds the Whip- Hand. LONDON, July 24.—The announcement from Teheran of the seriOus illness of Nas- sar—ed—Din, shah of Persia, has revived the periodical speculation in London as to the political probabilities in the event of his death. Though Persia is the most remote of the large Asiatic countries, its impor— tance from a strategic, as well as a com- mercial, point of view, has constantly en- gaged the attention of European states- men, more especially those of Russia and England, each of which governments has repeatedly sought to conclude with the Persian monarch a treaty of commerce as the enterin wedge to the greater incroach— ment upon is territory. 5.. VTlie Shah “’11:. Happy. It was with this object in view that Brit- ish allurements were held out to the shah to visit Europe in 1873, upon which occa sion, despite his peculiarly offen- sive habits, he was made much of at the different capi— tals and persist- ently importuned by officials and capitalists f o r railway, banking, trading and other concessions in Persia, whereby the shah was to ’1 < = receive enormous ' ‘ profits. With ' ‘ true 0 ri e n t al SHAH 0F PERSIA. courtesy the shah gave assent to several of the propositions submitted to him and the capitalists were happy. So was the shah. He had a good time and went home rich in experience and wise in the knowl- edge of having had it at the expense of those who thought they had plucked him. The long course of diplomacy and in- ' trigue between England, Russia and Per- sia resulted finally in Russia’s favor, and she has for a short time enjoyed the lion’s share of the scant commercial privileges obtainable from the czar’s government. Russia’s Advantages. lVith Russia in possession of these ad- vantages, slight as they are as compared to the objects sought, she would be incal- culably in‘ the lead of all the other Euro- pean nations in the event Of the death of the shah, with its attendant change of government and a possibility of a revolu- tion. The seeds of discord having been sown by the shah’s attempt to make an illegitimate son the heir to the throne, the likelihood of an uprising in favor of the pretender after the death of the shah is not remote, and just such a circumstance is what is most feared by English states- men. Russia has thousands of troops on the frontier of Persia within easy marching distance of Teheran, while it would take England three months to get troops there if their presence should be necessary. Should any disturbance occur in Persia through a change of government, Russia would unquestionably move her troops forward to Teheran at once to “preserve order,” and once there they wOuld remain. It will therefore be seen that the Shah’s illness is indeed serious. To Test the Secrecy Clause. NEW YORK, July 24.—District Attorney Nicoll, after some weeks of contempla- tion, went before the grand jury and laid before them the law on the subject of printing accounts of executions contrary to the provisions Of section 507 of the code of criminal procedure. After this clause had been pondered over the jurors framed a bill charging .The Daily News with vio- lating the law. Mr. Charles O’Connor Hennessey, the city editor of that paper, is mentioned as the offender. The charge is characterized as a misdemeanor. The constitutionality of the section of the elec- trical execution law which seeks to pro- hibit the publication of the details of the killing of murderers by the state is to be thoroughly ‘ .sted. Detroit Street Railways Sold. DETROIT, July %.—All the franchisee, tracks, equipments, etc., of the Detroit City Railway company, controlling eighty miles of Detroit streets, were sold to ex Governor Waller, of Connecticut, and William W.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.—It is to be feared that, unless the national govern- ment or some patriotic order like the Sons of the Revolution comes to its rescue, the famous site of Washington’s encampment at Valley Forge, the Spot around which cluster some of the most memorable and trying times of the Revolution, will be di- vided up, and sold, and in this way its preservation as a whole to the nation and state will be lost. The tract itself is situ- ated in one of the most picturesque val- leys of Pennsylvania, close to Valley Forge station, on the main line of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,twen‘ty- three miles from the city of Philadelphia. Upon the tract is situated the site of Fort Washington, the ramparts of which are still visible, and from this point the coun- try on all sides for many miles can be seen, and the visitor, standing within the fort, can readily realize the greatness of General Washington as amaster of the science of defensive warfare and his skill as an engineer. Upon the grounds are the remains of the intrcnchment erected in 1777 and 1778, the site of Washington’s headquarters in 1777, the Cold Spring, well known in his tory; the site of Valley Forge, first built in 1757; the site of the artificers’ quarters in 17 77, and the site of Generals Maxwell’s and ‘Voodford’s troops, and the spot where Washington was found praying during the trying times from Dec. 17, 1777, to June, 1778, at this camp.

Presi- dent Bensinger, of the Brunswick-Balke- Collender company, stated that a contest would certainly take place, as Schaefer had signified his willingness to go to New York and play Slosson on his own terms. ‘fI have been working very hard,” said he, “to bring Slosson and Schaefer together again, and I am glad I have succeeded. Sohaefer has agreed to ‘go to New York and play Slosson for the 14-inch balk line championship emblem and $500 'a side, and the contest will take place about Nov. 1.” The Charleston Leaves San Diego.

THE SPORTS DlSGUSTED All Broke Up Over the Failure 01 the Fitzsimmons-Hall Fight. MITCHELL POUNDS SLAVIN. The Big Australian Was Drunk and Taunted the Englishman — Then He Got I§nocked Around the Stage, Over the Footlights Into the Audience. ST. PAUL, July 24.—All efforts to bring 03 the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight across the border in Wisconsin has been abandoned, and every departing train is carrying away its contingent of sleepy eyed, disgusted, red hot sports. Most of them had staid up all night in the expectation Of a sud- den summons, a ride on a special train and a ring in some secluded dell, but they ' were disappointed. Every half hour or so the word would go around the hotel that the backers 01 the two men had agreed upon a locality, and that a special train was in waiting at the depot. The small army of sports would tramp down to the siding, stub their toes in the switches, dodge in and out between the moving freights for the train that was not there, and then tramp back again to the hotels, breathing male- dictions on the author of the canards. This programme was repeated three 01 four times between midnight and day break, and did not tend very much toward reconciling the visitors to the situation. The farce of guarding the amphitheater with the National guard is being con- tinued, but the callow young men in fa- tigue uniforms will probably be relieved at once and permitted to go home to thei1 mammas. Fitzsimmons is just as sore as he was yesterday, while Parson Davies, who could have gotten the men together and had the fight over by midnight, had he been so in- clined, makes a bluff Of saying that he will keep Hall in condition for a few days in the hope that there may yet be a meet- ing As the facts become generally known and it is realized that after Fitzsimmons’ defi of yesterday afternoon there was no good reason why the two men should not have been brought together either in Min- neapolis or across the border line, the feel- ing against Hall increases in intensity, and the epithets applied to him by many of his former admirers have been the re— verse of complimentary. The money received from the sale of tickets is being refunded, and during the day Fitzsimmons and Hall each received a check for $1,500 from the Minnesota Ath- letic club as an honorarium in part re- compense of their outlay in training. The total loss to the club will not be less than $10,000. It is given out that all the officers will resign in short Order, and that the or- ganization will in all probability be dis- banded. DIITCBELL BATTERS SLAVIN. Knocked Him All Around the Stage and Over the Footlights. LONDON, July 24.—Frank P. Slavin, the Australian pugilist who defeated Jake Kilrain in America only a short time ago, was knocked all over the stage of 3 Liver- pool theater last night and held up to the derision of an English sporting audience by Charlie Mitchell, a man whom he be- lieved to be his best friend. Slavin and Mitchell have been giving boxing exhibitions, Mitchell’s father-in- law, Pony Moore, acting as master of cere- monies. The party was given an ovation in Liverpool yesterday, and the Australian drank a trifle more liquor than was good for him, as was evident when he stepped on the stage. The audience was made up largely oi Mitchell’s partisans. During the first round some of these spectators yelled to their favorite: “ ’It ’im ’ard, Cholly. Put the bloomhink duffer to sleep!” Had Slavin been perfectly sober it is probable he would have paid no attention to these remarks. As it was he stepped to the footlights and gravely informed the shouters that Mitchell couldn’t hit him once in a hundred years. Mitchell yelled, “Can’t I, though?” and then he sailed into Slavin like a cyclone and fought the tipsy pugilist to his knees. He continued to punch him after the Aus- tralian had dropped his guard, and was evidently trying to land a knockout blow on his kneeling antagonist’s jaw. This conduct pleased the audience, and there were cries of “Down ’iml” and “Don’t let ’im hupl” Mitchell responded by dealing Slavin a blow that sent him over the footlights among the auditors. Pony Moore, after vainly calling “time,” ran into the wings and rung down the curtain. The Australian was helped back on the stage in the meantime, and Mitchell hit him several times after the curtain fell. He wanted to fight the Australian to a finish then and there. \Vith the help of stage hands Pony Moore finally succeeded in separating the men, who were not al- lowed to meet again during the night. Pony Moore was asked if the row would not have the efiect of causing a split—up between Slavin and his son-in-law, and he said: “It was a beastly bad piece. of busi- ness, me boy, but Chawles and Slavin un- derstand each other perfectly, and I hope to smooth the matter over. I can’t find it in me ’art to blame Chawles. Blawst me, if he couldn’t ’ave put Sullivan himself tr.- sleep last night. He’s a good one, buta trifle too strong in temper. I’ve seen Slavin, and if you newspaper fellows don’t make too much noise everythink will come out all right.” Kerans Knocks Out liagley. CLEVELAND, July 24.—Joe Bagley, 01 Minneapolis, and Dick Kerans, of Pitts- burg, fought three rounds near this city for a small purse. Bagley was knocked out by a chance blow on the jaw, afteI Kerans had been badly battered up. The men are lightweights, and fighters of con- siderable experience.
