We do not afix the title Honorable
to this gentleman's name for the reason
that we have heard him say that he had
much rather that title should not be
fastened to his name as he preferred tc
be called simply by his ordinary name.
That he is entitled to that title not only
as such but in truth, and in
fact all who know him will readily test
ify. AS president of the council of the
eighth legislative assembly, Mr.. Holli-
day has won the unqualified approba-
tion not only of all his associates in
that body as well as Of the members Of
the house, but he gained the unbounded
confidence of the people throughout the
length and breadth of the territory, and
will hereafter be consideie ed as one of
the favorlte sons Of our young, but
soon to be magnificent, commonwealth.
The Roman matron when asked where
were her most priceless jewels, pointed
to her two little boys and answered,

All day long yesterday anxious faces
might have been seen peering around
the legislative halls looking after ''that
little bill"
Hon. F. E. Warren made several
very able speeches last night while the
appropriation bill was under considera-
ton in committee of the whole in the
council.
The house went at such a bread-neck
rate last evening that they got to sus-
pending the rules by a mere viva voce
vote without calling the yeas and nays
on the question.
There was a vast amount of labor
done on the appropriation bill, and the
council, following the example Of the
house, went into u so-called executive
session on the same and hammered
away on it nearly all the afternoon.

A Bad Man Gone.

Chicago, March Frank Rande,
the desperate who made the attempt
upon the life of Deputy Mcdonald last
Saturday night, at Joliet prison, and
who was placed in solitary confinement,
succeeded in ending his career by hang
ing himself last night. Rande's real
name was Charles @. Scott. He killed
no less than five men in 1877, and is
supposed to have murdered thirteen
persons in Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri,. He was originally sentenced to
the Iowa penitentiary for burglary, but
escaped and, fearing arrest, became u
tramp. He was afterwsrd sent to
the Michigan City prison for burglary
under another name, and left there in
1877.
He robbed q farmer near Gibson, H.,
and, being pursued by a party OF six,
killed two and wounded three others.
He committed almost a similar robbery
near st. Elmo, ILL.,, and being followed
by citizens killed three of the latter and
escaped, He was finally captured in
st. Louis after u desperate struggle
with an officer, and on his trial for the
Gibson tragedy escaped with a life SEN
tence. His prison life has been marked
with three or four acts Of desperation
similar to that OF last Saturday night.
He used his Undertaking to effect his
death, and his body was discovered this

The committee also considered the

and the adyisability Of sending a sub

the present, the committee directing
the chairman to first call upon the ex.

San Francisco. March THE Sc
quel to the Sullivan Robinson knockout
last night, occurred this afternoon at
the Baldwin Hotel. Several OF the
Sullivan combination, Including Steve
Taylor were sitting in the barroom.
Robinson and some friends entered.
After an interchange of salutation,
Taylor made a contemptuous remark to
Robinson, whereupon the latter rapidly
retreated. Taylor led off quite lively
catching Robinson deftly under the
left ear, knocking him squarely down.
They clincned and a rough and tumble
fight ensued. Friends separated
them. 1t is stated that Robinson's ex-
pulsion from the Olympic club will be

Fighting for the yellowstone Park.
"In the wonderworld OF the Yellowstone.
Where the foaining stream with "a Titan

And channels It's mile deep canyon COURSE"
If one-half that was said by Cranch
is true of that region of country known
as the Yellowstone park, and included
within the boundaries of Wyoming ter
ritory, then it was well worthy of max
ing another effort, made in the legisla-
ture yesterday, to bring something more
to bear in order that Delegate Post, at
Washington, may be able to check the
tide Of hostile legislation in congress
which has for its object the virtual de.
struction of Wyoming by wrestling
from us the fairest portion of our do
main. Early in the day, acting In part
upon the suggestion made in the
LEADER yesterday morning, a move
ment was set on foot which had for its
object the sending OF 2 special commit
tee to Washington to act in concert
with our faithful delegate in prevent
ing the Acknowledgement of our terri
tory. A joint resolution was prepared
ami introduced in the house, appropri-
ating $1,000 for the purpose of sending
a committee, to be composed Of one
member Of the council and two of the
house, to go to the national capital. This
resolution promptly passed the house
under a suspension of the rules and
was Immediately thereafter taken up
for consideration In the council.
Among those who fought for its pass
age in that body were Holiday and
Babbitt. but after a gallant fight they
were defeated by a vote of 8 to 4. In
the afternoon, they renewed the fight
again. Hines moved to reconsider the
vote by which the joint resolution was
lost and the motion was carried. An
other discussion ensued, and after an.
other sharp debate the resolution was
again put upon its passage. This time
the vote stood 8 and 6, but this being 6

lost a second time. When the council
went into executive session another at

Reluctantly, the subject was inall.
abandoned, but the time may com

this matter.
