THE PLATT-MILLER CONTEST.

The impression il growing among the New
Workers In Congress that the Plat Miller con.
test is going to result in New York's having no
representative in the cabinet One Of the best
informed members Of the New York delegation
said to a STAR reporter to-day that he did not
see any prospect Of compromise, and thought
it would be impossible for Mr.. Harrison to put
New York man in the cabinet. ''If this
contest between. Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Plat
continues" he said. New York will not be
represented in the cabinet. There is no man
they can compromise on. Mr. Harrison could
not appoint Miller in face Of all the combina-
ton in Platt's interest II he should appoint

were generally from Is to Is per cent higher

subsequent dealings were entirely devoid OF

vances in the early trading, which, however.
ranged up to = per cent only, with st. Paul

an end and prices sagged off slowly, most of

THE LINDAUER LITIGATION.
A Decision Rendered in the Famous
Chicago Case To-day.

y
Chicago Case To-day.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The decision Of Judges
Tuley and Horton in the Lindauer prohibition
case was announced this morning by
the former chancellor. The case rose out
OF dispute over the assets of the firm Of Lin
dauer Bros Co., which failed some time ago
Tor over 100000. Lindauer Bros. made con-
fesslon of judgment in favor Of certain
preferred creditors, by which num-
per OF other creditors claimed to be
In danger Of being defrauded Of their
right and applied to the county court to take
charge OF the estate and distribute the assets
on the ground that the action Of the firm was
tantamount to the general voluntary
assignment. Judge Prendergast held that
the point was well taken and
ne assumed jurisdiction. Then counsel
for the Lindauers went before Judges Tuley
and Horton and asked for a writ of prohibition
on Judge Prendergast. A rule was issued cit
ing the judge to show cause why the writ
should not issue. The issue was joined
and has been under argument
for two weeks. The decision this
morning denies the prayer for writ on the
ground that it is doubtful whether or not the
circuit court has jurisdiction to issue
such writ against the county court;
that the appellate court already
has such jurisdiction, and that the
pending case having been placed within the
jurisdiction of the chancery side of the circuit
court by the appointment of receiver by
Judge Horton, it is fully competent to protect
all of the parties in interest from damage
arising from any clear usurpation Of power.

SETTLED 1T IN THE RING.
A Senate Employe and "Dude" Have
Lively Fight.

Two ambitious amateur pugilists, surrounded
BY . party Of friends, settled their differ
snces early on Thursday morning in true prize
ring style. For some time past there has
been Trouble between an employee Of the Senate
and gentleman Of elegant leisure Qacetiously
denominated dude), and to them it appeared
that the matter could only be adjusted BY nstic
combat.
So shortly after midnight Of Wednesday
eighteen men were driven over the Long bridge
into Virginia. and in the pine woods near the
Four-mile-run club house q 16-foot ring was
made.
Each of the principals was cared for by q
second and trainer. while q time-keeper was
also on hand. It was o'clock in the morning
when the aggrieved ones faced each other for
the fray.
The Senator" stood feet TX inches in his
stockings and weighed 145 pounds. while his
antagonist was half an inch shorter but
thirteen pounds heavier. The fight was
IN conformity with the Marquis Of
Queensberry rules, and was q warm one
from the start but most Of the hitting was be-
tween the neck and the belt. For the first eight
rounds the dude" was decidedly ahead. He
secure first blood by tapping the senator" with
his left on the nose, and not long after scored
the frst knock down with terrific right
nandes on the Senators" neck. This almost
settled the fight, but the Senator" rallied
quickly and was soon in better condition than
his foe.
Both men were evidently weak from the
ninth round, but the Senator's" wind was the
better, and he was more agile than the truly
scientific dude" In the fifteenth round the
dude was rushed to the ropes and received q
pretty severe battering.
He was groggy when slime" was called for
the sixteenth round, and in attempting to strike
his opponent he slipped and staggered for
ward. The Senator took instant advantage
OF the plucky ''dude" and struck him a dislo-
eating blow on the jaw that closed the fight.
Both men were in torn-up condition and both
are now out Of town
