SKINNER, OF CHICAGO, KNOCKS OUT DAILY, O
MEMPHIS, IN SEVEN ROUNDS

SKINNER, OF CHICAGO, KNOCKS OUT DAILY, or
MEMPHIS, IN SEVEN ROUNDS
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Frank Skinner, a Chicago
light weight, fought a vicious battle with ''Pli"
DAILY, of Memphis in q grist mill at Evanston
yesterday for s2O0 a side and gate receipts.
About fifty Chicagoans were present. Skinner
stripped at 1s7 pounds. DAILY was pounds
heavier. DAILY forced the fighting until the
sixth round, getting first blood and receiving
little punishment. In the sixth, however,
skinner assumed the aggressive and landed so
heavily on the Memphis lads ribs as TO break
one OF them. The round closed with cautious
sparring. DAILY was in distress when he came
up in the seventh. One of his thumbs was
broken and the shattered rib gave him great
pain. Skinner now went in 10 do his man and
continued to smash DAILY in the ribs. Close
fighting followed in which both men got in
some telling blows Skinner, however, was in
much better shape, and, seeing an opening,
drove his right into his opponents neck and
laid him out to sleep. DAILY could not come to
time and the fight and money were awarded 10

A CHICAGO TOUCH ARRESTED on SUSPICION or
HAVING BEEN CONCERNED IN IT.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-"Bud" Keller, a member
OF notorious west-side gang of roughs. was
arrested last night on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the killing OF Druggist c. +. Clark.
The arrest was made on the strength of infor-
nation given by young man. who saw a man
closely resembling Keller, accompanied by
three others, hanging about the drug store en-
trance a short time before the shot was heard.
After that he saw the men running away. The
police think now that the gang may have en-
desvored 10 rob the store and that Clark was
killed while defending his property. The po-
lice are searching for Keller's companions.
Mrs. Lettie Smith and her husband are still in
custody and nothing new has been learned con-
corning their supposed connection with the

Mr.. Crisp moved to table that motion.
"DoN'r VOTE"
This time the edict of Don't vote'' went
forth, and the republicans withheld their votes.
The vote resulted, yeas, 124; nays, none; no
quorum; and q call Of the House was ordered.
AND THEY DIDN'T VOTE.
The 251 members who responded to their
names faded away when the vote recurred on
the motion to table the motion to reconsider,
and only IL were found recorded in the affirm
ative, while cypher represented the negative
vote. Again call of the House was ordered.
THE WHEELS EFFEoTUAILY BLOCKED.
There is little prospect that the House will
transact any business this afternoon. The
spirit Of flllbustering is rampant on both sides
OF the chamber, the Republicans being deter
mined upon preventing the consideration OF
the contested election, and q majority of the
democrats secretly countenancing any methods
which may result in delaying the consideration
of the Cowles bill. Some anxiety is felt as to
the appropriation bills, and hostilities may be
SO far suspended as to permit Of the DISPOSE
ton Of the deficiency bill.

The Unionist members keep up their spirits,
thinking Piggott was bribed by the Parnellites,
and that his hesitancy business was a put up
job. Webster is expected to treat Piggott as y
hostile witness ON his re-examination. The
next witness is expected to be an American,
who says he saw in Sheridan's hands letter
identical with that printed in the Times. An
other well-known American on the Times staff
testlties to having seen a similar letter shown

CAPITOL TOPICS.

FLOWERS FOR SENATOR BLAIR FROM THE ". c. I. o.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union Of
the District, on behalf of the National W. C. T.
u, remembered Senator Blair to-day. On the
Senator's desk was beautiful bouquet of La
France roses, and accompanying it was q note
stating that the floral token was ''in grateful
acknowledgment Of his brave championship Of
Senate bills favoring prohibition, education
womans ballot, and the resolution guarding
against sectarian interference with the public
schools Of the nation. The note was signed by
Mrs. La Fetra, president of the local organiza-
ton.
SENATOR HoARs REPLY TO SENATOR DANIELS.
In the Senate Saturday after The Stars re-
port closed, Mr.. Daniels continued his speech
against the resolution to investigate alleged
election outrages. He had said that majority
Of the popular vote at the last election was for
Cleveland. Mr.. Hoar replied that whether
more people in the United States were in favor
OF Grover Cleveland for President than for
Benjamin Harrison was a question the COM
mittee wanted to investigate. He also quoted
from Senator Morgan's article in the Forum to
show that the latter was opposed to rule by the
majority provided that majority was composed
of negroes. In view of the constitutional right
to vote lie declared there was no such person
as a negro. He complimented their bravery,
intelligence. and constancy, but reminded
them that if they failed to treat the negro
properly there would come time in the south
when there would be enacted a scene of blood
shed and atrocities unequalled by the French
revolution.
THE BLACKBURN-CHANDLER ALTEBCATIoN.
1t was reported at the capitol to-day that the
Senate will be called upon to take official action
with regard to the Blackburn Chandler en-
counter. 1t was said in the Senate to-day that
Senator Blair, Mr.. Chambers colleague, pro-
poses to introduce a resolution Of censure upon
the Senator from Kentucky.

ssDISTRICT DAY" WASTED.
Mr.. Hemphill's Intellectual Effort to
Get up District Business in the House.

To-day was supposed to be District day in
the House. but small minority was not in
clined to proceed with local legislation, and a
filibustering movement led by Mr.. Bland Of
Missouri, and Mr.. O'Neill of Indiana, was put
in operation. The extra hour, from 10 to IL
o'clock, set apart for the consideration Of
measures called up by members in alphabetical
order was wasted by the filibusterers. During
the temporary lull in the proceedings, Mr..
Hemphill, chairman Of the District committee
asked unanimous consent to proceed to the
consideration of District business. It was his
intention to call up the bill providing for the
temporary erection Of overhead wires along
Pennsylvania avenue between the capitol and
the White House, and also to the pension build
ing, to facilitate the transmission of telegraphic
dispatches in connection with the inaugural
ceremonies. 1t was also his desire to call up
the Rock Creek park bill, the District trust
bills and several other local measures. Mr..
O'Neill, of Indiana, objected and dilatory tao
tics we're resumed.
The House District committee will hold q
meeting tomorrow morning to consider such
bills as have passed the Senate with a view to
possible, push them through under a suspen-
sion of the rules.
THE D1LAroRY TACTICS
started by Mr.. Bland in the House last Satur-
day and resumed to-day are directed against
the Randall internal-revenue bill The def
cheney appropriation bill is still pending, and
SO long as that bill continues before the House
the Randall bill may be kept down. Mr.. Crisp
also wants to get his California contested-elec-
tion case out OF the way, and there was con-
test for the right of way between the appropri-
tions and elections committees.
THE REPUBLICANS SEEM DETERMINED
to keep Mr.. Fulton in his seat, even if the re-
mainder Of the session has to be consumed in
roll calls. Mr.. Crisp, after struggle, secured
enough votes to cali up the contested-election
case. The republicans promptly relieved
Messrs. Bland and O'Neil from fillibustering
and took the burden upon their own shoulders.
As their names were called they refrained from
voting, thus leaving the House without
quorum. The democrats insist that the case
shall be disposed of before any other business
proceeds, and that was the situation this after
noon.

THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Action of the House Committee Upon
Amendments Of Local Interest.

The House committee has acted upon the
Senate amendments to the sundry-civil appro-
priation bill, and the result will be reported
to the House and . conference asked for. The
principal local item in the bill is the Senate
amendment providing for the erection of
city post-ofnce on the E and F, and 9th and
10th streets site. This proposition the House
seems strongly opposed to, and the amend
ment was non-concurred in. The Congress
sional library building will certainly be pro-
vided for; the only question being whether it
shall cost S6. 0O0, 600 or $4,000, 900. Both House
and Senate agree on the latter sum, but there
are some who think the larger amount shoul
be appropriated. Both Senate and House COM
mittees are favorably disposed toward the
library, and q compromise will probably be
reached. The House committee also concurs
in the Senate amendment providing $4,000
each for suitable pedestals for monuments to
be erected to Generals Sheridan, Hancock, and
Logan in the city Of Washington.
