Five hundred lithographers struck at New Yolk Monday, the cause being the non-recognition of their organiza tion, the abolition of their piece work system, the payment of minimum wages of §] 8 a week, a work week of forty-four hours, pay for overtime aud one apprentice to every five journey men. The strikers were employed by one hundred firms, who do show printing uud general lithogrnphio work. They are all members of the International Lithographic Artists and Engravers’ Iusuruuco Protective Association, which has branches in all the princi pal cities of the United States and Canada. The action of the New York branch of the association is expected to pre cipitate strikes in all the larger cities. FRENCH CABIN K L’ CRISIS. THIS FIGHT HASTED HESS THAN ONE ROUND. I.anky T$ol> Now Holds the World's Heavywelglit Chninplonshlp. Gloomy Forebodings of a Revolution In the Republic. A special cable from Paris to the New York Sun says: There are mauy prominent men in Paris today, sena tors, deputies aud journalists, who do not hesitate to declare their belief that France is on (hi eve of another revolution. This gloomy talk has been increasing for months past. The crisis is certuiuly serious, but I do not share tho despondent opinions of the solution which nre held in some quarters. Important changes are probably im pending, including not only the fall of the present cabinet, but, perhaps, a serious deadlock in the government, and possibly the dissolution of the chamber aud the downfall of President Fanre. It is cowurdly and almost ab surd to suy, as some do, that republi can institutions will be unable to bear the strain which may be put upon them. BITS OF NEWS GATHERED FROM OVER THE STATE, Bolng a Summary of Interesting Hap- pollings Froiu Day to Oay. This Will Stop Prize Fighting. In the house, Wednesday, Delegate Catron, New Mexico, introduced a bill to prevent the pugilistio festival from taking place near El Paso, Tex. I he bill makes prize fighting a misdemean or punishable by imprisonment for not less than five years. The house passed the bill without division. “It- is here,” said O’Ronrke, as lie TO POUf' H 1-TflRPT A produced his wallet and wavgd two AAIIXU/UVJH VJt checks in tho air. After an exciting parley ns to wheth er the chocks would bo accepted in lieu of cash, several of tho spectators cried: “Go on with the fight.” Julian retorted that tho crowd had better keep their months shut, as ho did not intend to stand any dictation from outsiders aud serious trouble s •omod imminent, when like a tiger tho Cornishmnu leaped to his feet and made a bound to tU" center "f the ring, and his faoo inflamed with pas sion, fairly shriokcd: “We’ll take tho c-hooks. I give iu to every bloody thing they want. Do you understand ? Wo give into this even if we don’t got it." Tho crowd hroathod moro freely and a rousing olieer was given for Fitzsim mons. Fitzsimmons had a navy’.bluo breach cloth, with a belt of stnrH bu(1 strips. His legs wero baro and his shoeHof tho standard running shape. Maher wore short legged black pants with a green belt. From tho moment tho men had mi tered tho ropes, it was apparent that Maher was norvous and ill at ease. Fitzsimmons eyed him with a Sarcastic smile aud his breast heaved like that of an animal ready to bound for its prey. At 4:25 o’clock when Roforeo Siler called both men to tho conter of the riug to give instructions, tho specta tors enjoyed tho first opportunity of seeing them faoe to face. Fitzsim mons presented a better appearance than at any of bis previous en counters. IIis flesh seemed to be hard and pink and tho veins stood out like whip cords. Maher, on tho contrnry, appeared somewhat flabby, while his movements on his feet lacked tho agility that characterized thoso of Fitzsimmons. They Clinch. Time was called at 4.25 o’clock uud the spectators pressed to tho ropes. Fitzsimmons opened tho fight, lead ing with liis left, Maher backed to ward bis corner, Fitzsimmons landed with bis right and a clinch followed. Maher struck Fitzsimmons with his right hand, while they wero clinched and Referee Siler warned him that if he did so again he would give tho fight to Fitzsimmons. Aftur a break away, Maher lauded his left on Fitzsimmons's neck. Closo in-fighting followed and Maher succeeded in landing his' left on Fitzsimmons’s upper lip, drawing blood. Fitzsimmons landed bis left on Maher and fol lowed with a right. (A clinch fol lowed, Maher feinted, and Fitzsim mons led with his right but fell short. A mix up came in which Maher landed both right aud left on eitlior side of Filzsimmon’s head. Maher led with his left and another clinch followed. Fitsimmons seemed a bit bothered aud broke ground on Maher’s leads, Maher following him up lending with his left, when Fitzsimmons stopped, aud swing ing his right, landed full ou tho point of Maher’s chin. Maher Was Knocked Out. Maher measured his length ou the floor, his head striking the canvas with great force. Ho vainly attempted to rise, but could not do moro thau raise his head. His second called on him to got up, but ho failed to respond and sank hack to tho eanvased floor. Tho tenth second was counted, Maher was declared out aud Fitzsimmons uounced the victor after one minute and thirty-five seconds’ rather lively fighting. Fitzsimmon’s admirers cheered him to tho echo, and Maher’s seconds car ried tho defeated Irishman to his corner. It was several minuteB boforo ho re alized what had happened to him and Fitzsimmons walked over to his cor and shook him by tho hand. Fitzsimmons also shook hands with Quinn and the seconds of Maher’s corner, Barring tho slight bloeding at tne nostrils occasioned by the left-hand jab of Maher’s, tho Cornishman show ed no marks of injury. Maher showed no Bign of punishment except a slight breuk in the skin, just above tho point of tho chin, ou tho loft, where Fitz- simmou’s stroke had landed. Julian’s Announcement When tho cheering of the peoplo sround tho ropes aud the waving of handkerchiefs by those upon tho mountain summit had iu a measure subsided and Fitzsimmons had tired of bowing his appreciation, Julian took the center of the ring and clear ing his throat, made the following an nouncement with theatrical effect: “Gentlemen—Mr. Fitzsimmons has worked himsolf up from the bottom of the lad ler and by tho decision of tho refereo is now champion of the world. He is ready to defend tho title against all comers, at any timo and place. No man is barred, and all comers will re ceive recognition.” Corbett Is Ready. A Chicago special says: Corbett an nounced the result of tho Fitzsimmons A spocial from Langtry, Texas, says: It took Robert Fitzsimmons just ninety-fivo seconds Friday afternoon to defeat Peter Maher and become the heavy-weight champion of tho world. The fight took place in the bottoms of tho Rio Grande river on the Mexi can side, a mile and a half distant from Langtry. To his friends it was evident that the Irish lad was not in it from tho start. Before tho round had pro gressed thirty seconds, Mahor attempt ed a foul and was warned by the referee. Fitzsimmon’s coup was in the form of one of bis famous upper hooks with which bo knocked out Hull aud broke the nose of Jack Steizner, his traiDor. Maher made a gallant effort to get upon his feet when timo was called, but after getting half way to a rectuu bent position foil back and still bad his head ou tho floor when the count was called, which gavo tho decision to the Cornishman. When tho train of sports arrived from El Paso at 2:30, there was no ev idence that uuything unusual wan about to occur. Tho excursionists from Eagle Pass and other points had boon belated and only some fifty residents of tho country about had gathered. One company of Texas rangers guard ed tho depot, while tho remainder went down to tho bottoms ou the Texas side, but not the slightest effort was made to interfere with tho sports in any of their movements. Whon the word to tnovo had been given the visitors speedily fonud that, nlthough they had boon on tho road for over sixteen hours uud jouruoyod four hundred miles, tho hardest part of tho entertainment was yet to come. Following guides in straggling pro cession, they wont noross the prairio for a distance of five hundred yards and then commenced u precipitous descent of a seldom-used wagon road that went iu u oircuitous way to the Rio Grande. Then there was'a tramp of five hun dred yards more through sand and mud full aukle deep to tho point >\here tho soventy-flve-foot pontoon bridge had been strotched across the Rio Grando river, which, swollen by re cent rains, hud been changed from a sluggish Btroara to a roaring torrent. Once across, tho sports were on the bottoms of the Mexican side, and the canvas that inclosed tho ring was to bo seen iu tho distance. Five minutes moro brought tho por- spiriug nuil footsore predestrians to the entrance stiles where Bat Mas- terson and Joe Vendig examined tho pasteboard tickets aud pussod tho holders. A moro ideal Bpot for such an event could hardly have been selected. Tho circus canvas’ inclosing the bat tle ground was two hundred feet in circumference and sixteen feet iu height. Tho ring was composed of wbito pine covorod with white duck and had nn elevation of four feot. Fitzsimmons and Maher, with their attendants, in the front rank of the procession, walked down but a fow yards apart, both reaching the en closure in a profuso stato of perspira tion. They were taken to their tents and rubbed down. At 3 o’clock, whon Reforeo Siler announced that all was ready, 182 people wore at tho ringside, tho re mainder of the visiting party, with the local contingent, having decided ner that, a view from tho Texas hills wns preferable to tho expenditure of 820 for a ticket. In response to Siler’s call, Julian asked for ten minutes’ delay. QuinD consented and it was readily granted. In tlie Ring. At 3:15 Fitzsimmons, in a flannel robe, emerged from his quarters, und bounding up the steps of the ring, se lected as his corner the point to the west, with his back to the Mexican mountains. Maher appeared a minute later and took his chair in the opposite corner, facing the Mexican side and his back to the spectators on the Texas bill. Maher had in his corner Jim Hall, Buck Connelly, Peter Lowrey, Jack Quinn and Peter Byrnes, while Parson Davies acted as his timo keeper. Fitzsimmons had behind him Martin Julian, Jack Everhardt, Jack Stelze- ner and Jack McCoy, while Bart Sneed, of New Orleans, acted as timo keeper. The five-ounce gloves were pro duced from the boxes and fitted. The men were about to strip their overcoats when Julian called George Siler to tho center of tho ring and the two conversed quietly for a couple of j Mayer fight from tho stage of the Govornor Atkinson has roappointed Bulge \V.

Alex Carr, tho man who shot down Captain ll. O. King iu Atlautn about eighteen mouths ago, has been in the lands of medical experts, and nearly ill tho tests of sanity known to medi cal science wero applied to him. This committee of doctors arrived at tho lecision that Carr is insane and filod i report with the governor to that ef fect. Ono of tho physicians, however, lissents from the opinion of his col- eagues. Ho admits, nevertheless, the xistonce of a reasonable doubt of Jarr’s Hunity at tho present time.

President Cleveland Denies tlie Appll cation. A Washington special says: The president has denied tho application for pardon in tho case of Lewis Red wine, sentenced in Georgia to six years imprisonment in the Ohio pen itentiary for embezzling funds of the Gate City National bank. Tho president in his indorsement upon the application says: “Tho sen tenco imposed in this case was not severe one and I can boo nothing aria ing from the faetB connected with the crime that entitles the conviotto clem ency. Tho representations concern ing his health do not in my opinion justify his roleaso at this time.” President Cleveland’s denial Lowis Redwino’s pardon was based on tho representation that his health was not as soriously affected as was at first supposed. The president has refused a pardon in tho case of F. M. O. Holstou, sen tenced in Oregon to ton years hard la bor for forgery. The president in bis indorsement says: “I am decidedly in favor of the strictest punishment of persons guilty of the orime for which this prisoner is now suffering imprisonment. An of fense involving forgery, swindling poor and needy veteran soldier and prostitution of tho benevolent inten tions of tho government as embodied in its pension laws, does not in tho slightest degree move me to clem ency.” GOLD RESERVE $104,000,000.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. ton area will be considerable larger than that of last year, and a very heavy crop will bo mado if tho season is not unfavorable. Southern cotton mills continue to be actively einploy- d. Thero is some oomplaint as to low prices for cotton goods, the mar ket for finished goods not having ad vanced in proportion to that of the raw mutorial. The now textile mills in the southern states for the past week are reported as follows: A oot ton mill nt McColl, S. 0., to have $150,000 capital; a 5,000 spindles mill at Jackson, Ga., ono with 100 looms at Newport, Tonn. ; one at Wuxliaw, S. C., and knitting mills at Laurin- burg, S. C., and Bowie, Tex. Tho production of iron continues largo and is somowliat iu oxoess of the mmediate wants of the trade. No change in prices is roportod, but there is a somewhat uneasy feeling, aud buy- rs are cautious. Tho ooal operators are doing a very lnrge business at un changed prices. The southern lum ber manufacturers ure doing a larger amount of business eaoh week. The spring outlook for southern lumber, especially iu tho export demand, is very encouraging. Among important new wood-working plants organized or stablishod during tbo week are: The Michigan Lumber and Manufacturing Company, capital $30,000, to operate a hush and door fuctory nt Jackson ville, Fla. ; a $10,000 furniture factory at Romo, Ga., and other wood-working plants at Palatka, Fla., Savannah and West Point, Ga., Greenup and Mid- dlesborough, Ky.; Lake Province, La., Enterprise, Miss., Louisburg, N.

The colonel and ono of his guestB, Colonol Wright Rives, of the United States army, went on board of the president’s boat soon after the anchor was dropped. Arrangements were soon completed aud by daylight tho president and his friends were in the blinds. The decoys were at once set and two men stationed ou shore with a small boat to pick the ducks up as they were brought down. STEAMER BERMUDA SEIZED. A Largo FUbiistcrlng Vessel Captured Off New York. A New York special says: The iron steamor Bermuda, flying ,the British flag, was bonrdod and seized by the revenue officers off Liberty island late Monday night. The Bermuda has been under the watch of Spain for some time. The Spanish authorities believed she had been bought by Cuban revolutionists and was fitting out as a filibustered She has been anchored off Liberty island since Saturday, and Monday thero was evidence that she was pre paring for sea, hence the seizure.
