BRUTAL BOUT BETWEEN pue,Ls1s.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 27.-The prize
fight which took place to-day near Black
Greek, Canada, about ten miles from thi.
city, between Arthur Chambers and John
Clark, of Philadelphia, for $1,000 a side
and the flight weight championship Of Amer
lea, was on the whole a tame affair. The
parties with seconds, Joe Goss and Billy
Edwards for Chambers, Harry Higgings and
Thos. McDermott for Clark, with Daniel
Munce Of this city, accompanied bv a num-
Der of pugilistically inclined roughs, black
legs and gamblers from Boston, New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and this city. and a
large deputation of reporters boarded a tug
in the harbor at s o'clock this morning, ar
irving at the point named about 10 o'clock.
One hundred and thirty.eeven rounds were
fought. Clark was pretty badly used up
more however from the hard work of dodg'
ing Chambers and throwing himself down
to avoid punishment than from blows re
|:csiyed, although his face showed signs o
light, while Chambers left the field compar
atively unhurt. After having fought IN
rounds the spectators began to cali for
draw or finish of some kind, and Higgins
fCfafk'atecond, again threw up the sponge
having done 30 on the 122d round, to which
Clark objected. Clark protested, but final
y Ghsfnhefs said he would rather give hin
a hundred Scholars than punish him an,
more, and thfssoffer being accepted the 6gh
closed, after having lasted two hours ane
twenty minutes. The parties separated a

NEW 1OTk 1Ole5EdJns 3Z5O.
The report telegraphed from the ives,
that Sitting Bull had crossed the frontie,
aud proposed to make an attack upon Forts
Totten, Stephenson and Buford, excited a
good deal of interest here. Gen. Miles, the
Indian fighter and captor Of Chief Joseph,
is here at present attendi ne to the purchase
Of army equipments. He thinks that Sit.
ting Bull has not over three thousand war
riors with him. According to the latest in
formation received he has all told nearly
eight thousand Icdians in his camp. OF
this number a goodly portion are old men,
women and rquaws. He is of the opinion
that the American force now on the frontier
is large enough to keep the Sioux warriors
from penetrating far into our country. Says
he: 'There are now stationed on the
plains or in the Indian country nearly two
thousand soldiers-cavalry and infantry
and they are perfectly able tocope with three
thousand warriors, or % many of them rs
can be pitted against them at one time. It
lie true that they have to guard a country
three times the area of this state, but under
proper management they can do it. Ger.
tainly an increase Of this force would give
more efficient service" The general says
of Sitting Bull "As far Is intelligence
goes, he is much inferior to other chiefs,
Spotted Tail, Red Cloud or the late Crazy
Horse, for instance. He is the deadly
enemy of the whites, and will never volun:
tsrily be confined On any ofthe reservations
He claims that the Great Spirit made him
an Indian and believes he is one of the
Lords Of c~reation-not an agency Indian,
Our forts near the Canadian frontier will
give the troops a little vantage ground in
their watch over the savage's movements.
Should he venture across the line and At
tempt to return to his old hunting grounds,
our troops should succeed in driving him
back to Canada"

The courts of Wisconsin are to be given
a case somewhat similar to one which has
bothered the assembled wisdom of Dakots
territory, namely the enactment unde,
which G. j. B. Hsrris claims payment 70,
his labors in codifying the laws. The Wis.
consin case is this: In the official publica:
ton Of the laws appears ar enactment rem
dering county treasurers ineligible to a Sec
ond consecutive term. 1t was ssupposed
that the measure had been lost on its at.
tempted passage and its appearance among
the statutes induced research. The secreta-
~ ofstate accordingly looked up the history
Of the chapter in the records, and finds that
as bill No. 10 it passed the assembly, but
was refused concurrence in the senate. In
day or two after that the bill was mes.
saged back to the assembly in a large batch
Of other bills as having been concurred In,
though the bill itself was sent back with the
proper Enforcement of Inconvenience
The bill was properly enrolled, signed by
the officers Of both houses, then by the GOV.
ernor, and afterward published in the official
state paper as chapter POS. 1t is therefore
a law, although the first court before which
it is brought will doubtless declare it un.
conssitutionally passed. The supreme court,
however. will have to decide upon the ques-
ton as to whether it is proper to go back to
the original record. The Dakota enactment
referred to is signed BY the officers of both
houses and BY the governor and appears to
have gone through the regular process,
though the records are somewhat mixed in
their reference to the measure. The bill,
however, bears the council endorsement
"lost on passage" A decision in the Wis
consin case will be looked for with some
interest.

There are now in the employ of the SEN
ate four men who we're appointed when the
democrats had control of the body before
1861, and have been retained by the repub-
libans because of their efficiency. These
are: Isaac Bassett, the venerable, white
haired and whiskered assistant ~sergeant-at-
arms, who sits at the left of the vice. presi-
dent during the sessions Of the sen ate. He
was appointed q page in 1927, and was the
second page ever employed by the senate.
He has been promoted gradually for the last
6fty.two years, until now, at the age Ct elk
ty-nine, be holds the next Office in honor to
that of the sergeant-at-arms. He is the
custodian of the senate chamber, and has
charge of the pages. Bassett is a very re.
msrkable man, and from his peculiar posi-
ton has had the opportunity to know init
mately more OF the great men who have
served in the senate than any living man.
He is writing q book of "reminiscences

whether the democrats will turn thess men
