Livingston waa standing at the newt stand reading, when Drcckinrldge came in and bought a package of cigarettes. Livingston spoke to Desha, and extended hi hand, laying: " lt't all over now : we ought to ba friendt; shake hands." Breckinridge, with an angry look on bia face, replied: " No, you one-horse scoundrel, I will not take your band. You profess to be a man's friend and then stab him in the back." Livingston replied to this by saying that be had done nothing of the kind, whereupon Breckinridge called him a "damn liar." Then Livingston etruck at Desha, and knocked hi glasses off, following this np w ith a blow on the neck. Destia reached for hi hip pocket, and instantly flashed in ttie air tbe long blade of a big dirk. Both men were as nale as death. Livingston in a moment of desperation grabbed at the glittering 1)1 Bile Wllicn crei-mummo uutu m inn heart. The knife went between the second and third finger of Livingston' right hand, cutting the third finger to the bone. Breckinridge seemed to de- lire no more blood, aud gave Livingston two strong kicks. Tbe hotel clerkt and several bystander rushed in and seized Breckinridge, and at the same instant Matt Lane, a strong Breckinridge man, ran up and aaid he would take a hand in helping Desha. Two witnesses any that Lane also flourished knife, but Lane denied this. Livingston waa harried into tlie wash room and then taken to physician, where his hand waa dressed. 5 nut Wore the trouble occurrred De sha and Lane met Judge B. Kinkaid on Main street. Kinkaid made several speeches during the campaign denounc ing Colonel Breckinridge in the most scathing terms. Jeha Breckinridge taid to Judge Kinkaid that the election waa over, aud he wantea to um mm ne waa a ' damn liar." The Judge replied that he waa unarmed and did not want to have any difficulty In the open streets. Desha told' him to go and arm himself and he would meet him anywhere or at any time. He repeated this aeveral timet. Then Lane, who it a compara tive atranger in Lexington, having re cently come here from Mount Sterling; aaid. addressing the Judge: " This ia Judge Kinkaid, is it? When you said decent people would not enter tain Colonel Breckinridge, yon lied.

Speak ing of tbe additional need of dry dock for tbe navy, it waa stated at the Navy Department to-day that Commodore Matthewa, the present chief of tbe bu reau of yards and docks, will in hi forthcoming report recommend tbe con- atructlon of no leas than five, one of the nnmber being at San Diego. Cel.. and another at Mare Island; and he also favors the enlargement of the one already at tbe latter place. If tbe two new onea proposed are constructed ana the one now in use ia enlarged, it ia believed these, with the new one on Puget Sound that la approaching completion, will be sufficient for the needs of the service for ome time. Aa for San Diego, its harbor ia of first importance, as being the south ernmost one of the Pacific Coast, and it would also be convenient for vessels re turning from South and Central America that need docking. Aa to the size of these docks, the Commodore will recom mend that they all be of tbe largest class because of the tendency to increase the size of ships. The beam of the Ore gon and other vessels just completed ex hibits the tendency to increase the ca pacity of vessels. If 1CW STANDARD. Tho Old "Em" System of Keasnrlng Typo Aboll.hed. PHrLADiLFHiA.

Senor Maragua, the Spanish Minister, author izes tbe following statement as to recent cable reports that Spain bad instructed him to open negotiation for new com mercial treaty: "Since the reciprocity ftrrangements brisk trade has been carried on be tween tbe United State and Cnba and Porto Rico composed principally of farm products, which runs up into the mill ions, say an average of $22,000,000 yearly for American exports. It is as much in the interest of the United States as of Spain that the exchange of mutual com modities should not collapse. The Ameri can sugar producers do not raise tbe tentn part oi tne nome consompuou, and atruggle besides under the disad vantages of climate, soil and price of labor. Americans, therefore, need our sugar, and their refining industries are largely benefited by it, aa well as the farming products, which find ready market for their surplus in Cuba and Porto Rico. Everything pointa to the necessity of ft fair and equitable under standing, even if it ehould not assume the formalities of a treaty." Spain baa already freed from duty all goods which left this country prior to August 27 last, the date the new tariff took effect. Secretary Carlisle has de clined a like concession toward Cuban sugar and other products shipped prior to August 27, but landed in this country after that day. This baa created quite an agitation in Cuba. So far aa Cuba ia concerned, at least, the Spanish au thorities, it ia said, feel hopeful of ac complishing something in the line of reciprocal trade relations. SIGNALING WITH MIKKOBS.

SOMETHING MUST BI DON. Alweka May bo mm Bxpenso Bather Than Source of Bovonwo. Dsnvib, September 22. Joseph Mur ray, Fish Commissioner of Alaska, who has just returned from ft trip to that country in company with Assistant Sec retary Hamlin of the Treasury Depart ment, said in an interview to-day: "Unlets some steps are taken there will soon be no fur-bearing animals in Alaska. The adventurers who flock in there are rapidly exterminating tha ani mals, and the companies who are can ning salmon are no better. Tbe laws need enforcement, and the government should have plenty of agents to see that they are enforced. Fox skins range in value from f 10 to $200. A party goes on an island with a supply of strychnine. Bait is poisoned and the foxes eat it. They are skinned and a stake is made. The carcasses are eaten by crows and the birds die. Foxes that miss the poisoned bait eat the poisoned bird., and in ft short time there is not ft fox on the island. The seal fisheries are fast play ing out. Five years ago there was no trouble in getting 100,000 skins. This year, allowed to take 20,000 skins, the com pany only succeeded in getting about 16,000. The salmon fishers spread their nets at the mouths of rivers np which the fish endeavor to go in order to spawn. Every one is taken, and as a result there are no young fish. Unless something is done soon, Alaska instead of being a source of revenue to the government will lie nnable to support even its native population," - . Bold Grecian Brigand. Athsns, September 23. Near Limia on the Turkish frontier and head of tbe Gulf of Volo a procureur du roi, a judge and two secretaries, returning in ft car riage, accompanied by two gendarmes, from villages where they had been col lecting information In regard to the brig andage, were surrounded by brigands, who carried off the procureur du roi and Judge to a stronghold on Mount Othrys.

Ania conuitiuu ui nuauro has produced a tension between the fruit dealers and the horticulturists, which has led to an acrimonious discussion be tween the Fruit Produce Exchange and the California Fruit Exchange, repre senting the opposing interests. Accusa tions of deDressins tbe Eastern markets for the purpose of speculation are made against the city merchants, while they charge that the policy pursued by the country element is bringing disaster on the industry. This lameniame condi tion of affairs is well known east of the monntains, and is being taken advan- . tage of by orders. : The growers this season are in a meas ure independent of the San Francisco fruit houses. By the formation of local exchange, they have been able to obtain advances from tbe country banks, which they are not called upon to pay at once, and they threaten through the Cali fornia r ruit .bxenange to aeai airectiy with the brokers in Eastern towns at higher prices than are quoted by the Fruit Produce Exchange. In the Santa Clara Valley, Vacaville and Winters dis tricts they are piling up their fruit in warehouses. Sonoma, Napa and some of the Southern counties are, however, selling through the can r rancisco mer- i chants. It is stated at the California Fruit Exchange that the policy pursued by the local exchanges has been pushed too far and may lead to loss. The recom mendation sent ont from the central body of the local exchangee waa to sell the lower grades of fruits at current F rices and to hold on to the higher, nstead all kinds are being held for an advance of from 1 tc Scents a pound, ac cording to the kind and quality of fruit. The commission merchants say they have been forced in the absence of or ders to become speculators to a certain extent. They assert they have always furnished advances to the growers, stand ing the interest and the loss on rejection of goods on ft falling market, and their wrath at being charged with thievery by a Ban rancisco paper xnows no Donnas.

Fill more left for the scene of their labors to-day. One of the main points of con tention between tbe two corporations has been in regard to the granting of "side riders" to through passengers without extra charge. The -A-tehison ana lopexa managers, wno i -1 i 1 T ; li... alnreva Ann- Atlantic wiuiiuiu,jiiw j tended that they propose -to carry pas sengers from Chicago to San Francisco around by and through.Los Angeles In stead of Dy the most direct route. A hssr months ago the Southern Pacific put in force a rule allowing passengers from Los Angeles to Chicago to make ft side ride from that city to San Francisco and then East by Sacramento without extra charge. The Atchison and Topeka folks declared that this was equivalent to ft " . , i t- and made "corref L:?7rimetetled7t- n'mmit nf hnth mmoanies. At length a trace was struck, with the understand ing that the dispute should be referred to representatives of the opposing aides. In consonance with that agreement the meeting at El Paso will be held next week. - . ADVICK FROM BLCEFMXDS. Tho Election Paused Oft Quietly and Wo Berlona Disturbance Since.

INTKBIOB DZPAXTafntT PKCIBION. . , The Interior Department has just passed on a case in which a peculiar fraud is being practiced. Some time ago a resident of Tennessee wrote to the Attorney-General stating that last May he saw an advertisement in a Chicago paper offering for sale 160 acres of .land in Gov ernor county, Kan. The real-estate agent lived atLathrop, Mo., and through him the land was purchased by the man from Tennessee. It was then found that the government owned the land, although the Lathrop agent had furnished a com plete deed and abstract of title. Sines then the same land has been advertised by the same agent. It is held by tha Tnterior that, aa the rights of the gov ernment are in no way affected, there it nothinsr for the department to ao in the premises. fi It is suggested, however, that the attention of the proper authontiet be called to the fraud with a view of saying innocent parties who do not take tne trouoie to maae a moroagu uito gation of land titles. .
