COLUMBUS, O., April ls.-There was
a glove fight to-day, Marquis of Queens
bury rules, between McHenry johnson,
of New York, and Charles LANCE, of
Cleveland, backed by Duncan G. Ross.
The Black Diamond seconded johnson
and Mervine Thompson did the duty for
LANCE. About 1000 people witnessed
the contest. The first round was charac-
terlzed by fierce fighting. LANCE was
knocked down but came back in ten
seconds when time was called. The
second round was a dead smuggling match,
both being punished severely. The third
was a duplicate of the second except hat
the star knocked LANCE clear off his feet
aud some heavy half arm hitting closed
the round. Both men came to the
scratch at the fourth round well ex-
haustcd but game. Several passes had
been made and johnson was getting
decidedly the better of his contestant
when the police jumped in the ring and
called Il halt and the fight was decided a
draw by the referee. Some sportsmcn
present pronounce it the most vicious
smuggling match they had witnessed.

NEw YORK, April lS.-A letter signed
by a large number of stockholders of the
Oregon Transcontinental Company has
been sen to President Endicott asking
him to furnish at once a full list of and
particulars concerning company's liabili-
ties. They ask that the officers and books
be returned to New York and express the
opinion that their removal was a mistake.
They further ask to be informed whether
the directors have formed any plans for
putting the Indebtedness of the company
into a more favorable form and for reliey
ing it of some of its burdensome contract
They express confidence hat the com
pany will come triumphatly out of its en-
barrassments, but hope President Enid
colt will realize the gravity of the present
situation. They add: I'VE feel it is not
receiving the attention which its ex-
igencies demand, and should you desire
to maintain your present attitude toward
the stockholders, we should regard
any subsequent misfortune which might
befall the company us justly chargeable to
you and your associates.

A Tilt in the House.

WASHINGTON, April lS.-On motion
of Representative Ward the House Com
mittee on Postofiices and Postroads, by a
vote of 10 to l adopted a resolution de-
claring it to be the sense of the committee
that it is expedient to adopt a contract
system for postal telegraphy. White, of
Kentucky, took advantage of the brief
debate on the bill to c%riticise the action of
the Springer Committee in stopping the
investigation of the charges against Gov
ernor Murray. The man under %investi-
CATION had said he was not guilty, and
had called upon Justice Harlan and
Speaker Carlisle to testify to his good
character. Thereupon the investigation
had ceased, and not only that but
the committee had proposed to in
vestigate his (White's) character.
Miller, of Pennsylvania, called the gem
tleman to order for not addressing him
self to the bill under consideration, but
the House decided that White might be
permitted to proceed in order. But
White continued to talk in the same
strain, when Miller again called him to
order. The Speaker thought the re-
marks of the gentleman were not relevant
to the bill. White said the difference be
tween the Speaker and himself was that
while he had been ~endeavoring to defend
the rights of the poorest people in his
State, the Speaker had been ondeavoring
to get bills through Congress for the
biggest whisky ~monopolies in the State Of
Kentucky. Miller demanded that these
words be taken down as supplementary
The Speaker said: The Chair desires
hat the words should not be taken down
and no notice be taken of them. Zap.
plause on both sides Of the Chamber.
Miller thereupon withdrew his demand.
but insisted that the gentleman should
proceed in order or not at all. The
Speaker said: THE Chair will endeavol
to enforce the rules of the House"

encountered not far from Hung Hoa, and
completely routed. After the engage
ment we destroyed the citadel of Phulam

following the right bank of the river Dai,
with the object of threatening the enemy
in the south and obtaining redress for the
massacre of missionaries. The Black
Flags have withdrawn to Northern Ton
quin, The emnant of the garrisons Of
Bacninh and Hung Hoa, Chinese and
Anamites, to the number of S., 900. have
retrcated to Thanh Hoa. Gen. Delisle is

the capture of Phulam Gram by the
French, five soldiers were killed and
eleven coolies drowned.

DENVER, April ls.-This morning the
town vas excited over alleged important
gold discoveries in the vicinity of Pixies
Peak, seventy-fve miles southwest of
Denver. Crowds of people from the
neighboring towns are focking to the new
camp. Passenger and freight transport
alton lines have already been established
to Canon City, Fairplay and Leadville.
Grocery and Quitting stocks are en- route.
1t is impossible just now to obtain reliable
information concerning the importance of
the discovery. The mineral is said to be
a carbonate. Samples assay nearly one
hundred ounces of gold to the ton.
Amidst the excitement the moneyed men
remain unmoved and await develop
ments.
