WASHINGTON, March 9.-Having disposed
of the case OF the Union Pacific Railroad
Company the House Committee on Pacific
railroads to-day began to consider the
method of treating the Central Pacific Rail-

formal, no specific bill being before the

we're not pronounced enough to indicate
the feelings OF members toward the COM
pany. Ex-senator Mcdonald, counsel for
the Central Pacific, will be given a chance
to address the committee next Friday upon

DEMOCRACY is still on the increase in
Great Britain in spite Of such apparently
retrogressive legislation as coercion laws
and gag rules. Mr.. Labouchere on Thurs
day evening formally introduced motion
against the continuance OF an hereditary
House OF Lords and it received 1853 votes
against 223 negative. The Gadstonians
and ParnellItes supported it as we'll as
men OF the stamp OF Sir William Vernon
Harcourt and Sir George Trevelyan. The
supporters OF the motion will introduce it
afresh every year until some day it will get
a majority by which time the public senti-
ment will be overwhelmingly in favor OF
some other form OF upper house.

HAIL TO THE VICTOR,

To the ma jority OF Americana it was
matter OF surprise, not unmingled with
disappointment, to learn yesterday by
the afternoon dispatches that Mitchell vir-
tually whipped Sullivan in the fight in
France. The Boston wonder has borne
the reputation OF being such a powerful
slugger that few pugilists cared to trust
themselves within reach OF his sledgeham-
mer blows. That they are not fatal is
the champion, and he is no longer the won
der he was believed to be. His antagonist
has been regarded hitherto in this
country as n scientific fighter but
lacking the weight necessary to enable
him to last before John l.. 1t was
supposed that all that was necessary to be
done to dispose of Mitchell for all time
was for John L. to get i'll just one of his
blows with the full power Of his arm and
that would end it. On the contrary, if we
arc to credit the dispatches, Sullivan got in
n good many sTch, and still Mitchell was
in better condition when the fight was de.
clared draw than his opponent. The
most that Mitchelrs warmest admirers
expected OF him was that he should last a
few rounds, and now it appears he could
have outstayed thirty-nine rounds, for the
draw was asked by the big Bostenian.
What makes it peculiarly incomprehensible
to SuIlivan's friends is the disparity in
weight-abont thirty pounds between the
two men. Later dispatches than those at
hand at this writing may explain how the
man whom his admirers believed the best
fighter that had ever appeared in any age
came to be beaten, practically, by one who
had been credited with desire to keep out
OF the others way for the best of reasons.
1t shows that the latter possessed fund of
pluck and endurance that his antagonist
never supposed he possessed and science
and slugging powers that had been kept
carefully concealed until now. And in the
spirit Of fair play, although their champion
is defeated Ameri, ans can say the best
man has won. Hail to the victor.

Referee Angle cautioned him against break
ing ring rules.
During the next three rounds Sullivan
was kept busy chasing Mitchell around the
ring. Mitchell landed blow or two
lightly, reaching SulIivan's face twice. At
this time rain began to fall heavily. and
the ground was soon swamped. Sulli-
van was nearly breathless from chasing
Mitchell, but both pegged away.
Little harm was done aft the first four
rounds; Mitchell coutriving to keep out Of
harms way, and Sullivan's blows losing
their forne.
In the thirty second round Sullivan was
attacked with agGe. The rain was falling
in torrents. The character of the ground
may be imagi ed from The fact that it
lasted twenty-five minutes.
The thirty fifth round lasted fifteen min
utes. Sullivan was unable to approach
Mitchell Both men seemed weak and their
blows we're light.
The thirty-ninth round lasted half an
hour. Baldoi now saw that no definite
result was likely to be reached and he sug
gested that the fight be declared draw.
The principals agreed to this. and the two
fighters shook hands. after battling three
hours and eleven minutes. Mitchell showed
considerable punishment. There was
great lump on his jaw, his left eye was
bunged up and his body brushed. At the
outset Sullivan offer d to back himself for
So, 500 but the offer was declined. His
hackers then offered three to one on Sulli-
van, but found no takers. The party re-
turned to Paris after the fight.
THE ROUNDS IN DETAIL.
Round |. Sullivan stood over Mitchell.
He looked too big for him and very spite
fui. Mitchell was indulging in a laugh over
the fact that he had won the toss for cor
per and put Sullivan face to wind and sun
and later on the rain. Three to one on
Sullivan was offered at the start. After
half minutes sparring, Sullivan led off,
when Mitchell lodged, got in his left on his
opponents chin and then ducked. Mitchell
tried to draw out his man with his left and
the artful Sullivan got home with his left
on the cheek and left on top of the head,
Mitchell got home with his right on Sulli-
vans belly. Sullivan now several times in
beautiful manner stopped Mitchel's left,
which was still aiming for the belly. Final
ly Sullivan eornered Mitchell. who dropped
to avoid punishment.
