WAsznsaroE, D. O., January 12.-Ths
gossip of the hotels tonight is the prlz9
hght In high life, the contestants being the
son of Senator Jones, Of Arkansas and the
son of Attorney General Garland. Both OF
these young men are Arkansans5 and both
prominent in society, having recently on
ciated at a Wsddiag IN Washington As the
story goes the two youths became involved
in adispute over a game Of billiards. and the
quarrel which followed led 70 q challenge.
Marquis of Queensbsrry rules were agreed
upon, and the young men retired 70 barn
in the suburbs Of Washington to aght 1t out.
Ed Donuelly. the champion ul1ddls-gT51ghE
OF Washington, was chosen referee and the
puglistie seions Of the houses OF Jones and
Garland stripped for the fray. Young Gar
land, who is index clerk for private
claims in the house Of representatives.,
is a lightweight, who tips the beam at about
115 pounds. He is slender and dud1sh IN
appearance, in which respect he resembles
weight, whose avoirdupois possibly exceeds.
that of Garland by a few pounds. At the
barn a ring Of the regulation size rs pitched
and the fight opened The hrst round ended
in a knock down for Garland, and when
time was called both were much Wlnded-
The second, third and fourth rounds were
unsVentful, each lasting about four minutss
In the fifth round Jones got Ia right
handler on Garland's neck under the Jaw
and the descendant and heir Of the Attorney
general went to sleep under the ropes. This
fight to Jones. Young Garland went home
in a hasE. The friends Of the two youths
are inclined TO treat the affair as a social
bout with gloves, but the referee and specta-
tors declare that it was a mill worthy OF
more pFetentious pugllists.

QUEREo, January 1A-The failure Of the
striking printers belonging to the Knights
Of Labor Is now certain. The newspapers
that we're forced to suspend publication
have Eeappeared, while those that we're only
able to print half sheets and single editions
are now published in their ordinary form. A
large number of the Knights still hold out
but they must either withdraw their demands
or seek employment elsewhere. The oEloes
here are, many Of them, exceedingly snort
handed, bat they will contrlVe 70 pull
through until the arrival OF print
srs from Belgium who have been
sent for to replace the strikers. The actual
cause of the failure Of the strike is Cardinal
Tascherau'E opposition to the Knights Ii
Is believed TO be at his suggestion that the
leading French Canadian publishers OF the
city. cabisd for Belpiun printers who are
said to be ready to work for s. week.
Since the suspension OF the cardinals con
domination Of the Knights a year ago or
more, recruiting for the Knights has gone on
actively In this city and 1t IS said there are
now 1000 Of them here. They include

WASHINGTON, d. O., January 1.-The con-
ference of representatives Of the various
branches Of wool interest has adopted the
following resolutions:
The representative Of the national asso
citation of wool manufacturers and OF the
wool growers association, speaking as they
believe for all the persons engaged IN both
these occupations in the United States with
only individual exceptions proclaim anew
their deep conviction that the protection by
tariff of the production of wool and OF the
manufacture Of wool is demanded by the
best interests Of all the American people.
The increase IN the clip OF American wool
from 6O,264, 9l3 in 1893 to 5J2s-
000 600 pounds in 1885 while the
mports of foreign wool advanced only from
26. 282 935 pounds TO 20, $50, 10 pounds within
the same period, demonstrates the eject Of
protective duties IN promoting sheep hus-
bandry in this country, and IN thus adding
to national prosperity and wealth. The fact
that the reduction Of the tariff on wool IN
1888 was Immediately followed by decrease
in the number of sheep IN the country from
80 626 626 in 1884 to a, 558, 5l4 IN 1887 gives
warning that the abolition Of the duties
on wool would seriously cripple the raising OF
sheep in tkis country, which is the third pro
Queer in quantity among the nations and
would thus increase the price OF wool
ali over the world, while the con-
sequent destruction Of sheep would
materially affect the supply and the
pries of wool and to a considerable extent Of
ali productions, and inasmuch as the man
ufacturers furnished In 1880, 81.9 per cent
/ of wooden goods consumed IN the United
states although In 1860, only 62-S per cent.
/ Of such goods we're produced IN this cOun-
try. no reduction IN the tariff can be neces-
sary to afford the American people q full
supply and abundant competition IN fabrics
l which enter into use in every family and for
which the prices for like qualities C0mpar6
favoEably with those IN foreign countries.
