MITCHELL's REPLY.
He Pays His Respects to Dempsey In
ForcihIa Language.

He Pays His Respects to Dempsey in
ForcibIe Language.
Jack Dempsey has called Mitchell ''cow-
ardly buffer" Here is Mitchells reply made
few hours before leaving New York on his
visit to England
MY position touching the Dempsey Mitchell
controversy can be clearly defined as follows;
"First-I was anxious to fight John L. Sulli-
van in prefence to any other man In the world,
because he was said TO be the greatest living
pugilist. was matched to fight him and the
press stated, and the public believed would
never dare to fight him, but did fight him in
France and he was not able TO defeat me. The
public knows that he and his seconds coaxed
one of my seconds to get me to consent to a
draw. The people can draw their own infer
ence from this contest with Sullivan as to who
the winner would have been If the hight had
been continued.
'In this fight with Sullivan broke my left
hand in the third round. Since then l have
not dared to make a match to fight to finish
with any man. My inability in this respect has
given Mr.. Jack Dempsey and his supporters an
opportunity to say that l was afraid to fight
that gentleman to finish. Mr.. Dempsey has
posed before the public as if he had defeated
me in the ring. now state that have care
fully nursed my injured hand in order to ac-
commodate him with fight to finish. but L
regret that after consulting an eminent sur
geon prof. E. i. keyes). l cannot make such
match. Here is DIR. Keyes' letter:
No. L PARK AVENUE NEW YORK, January 10,
1ss9.-I am of the opinion. after examining the
left hand of Mr.. Charles Mitchell, that the result
of the injury received is as good as can be ex-
pected, and that auy surgical attempt to better IL
would probably do more harm than good. Any
further betterment must be waited for as the
effect of rest time and whatever may cUme about
from The conservative processes of nature.
E. l.. KEYEs.
"In conclusion, 1 wish to state that have
made many efforts to get Mr.. Dempsey to
box with me with small gloves sufficient
number of rounds to show the public who is
the better man.
MY contest with Mr. Sullivan, who was con-
sdered the pugilistic marvel of the nineteenth
century, ought to be sufficient proof that am
not afraid to fight such man as Mr.. Dempsey
if, to use a sporting term, 1 had the tools
namely, good hands, 1 will add, that if Mr..
Dempsey is willing, will box him 20 or 30
rounds with skin gloves when L return in the
spring, whether my hands improve or not.
&c. MITCHELL"

Iitical Fights.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 16.-In the
House to-day the Democratic majority
adopted set OF rules which put decided
limit to the power of the minority to OBJ
struct desired legislation. The Republican
members denounced the new rules as gag
law, and made vigorous and unavailing
fight against their adoption.
At the afternoon session of the Senate,
during the discussion of the resolution pro-
viding for the appointment Of 20 additional
doorkeepers, an exciting scene took place.
Senator johnson, the Republican leader,
was vigorously opposing the resolution on
the grounds that the statute provided for
only seven assistants to the Doorkeeper, all
of whom were already appointed, and that
the additional 20 were unnecessary. He
offered an amendment providing that the
20 assistants should be ex-Federal soldiers.
In the midst of Johnson's argument Sem
ator Smith, from Huntington, said:
"You are the man that struck an old SOL
dier at the previous session."
johnson retorted that the statement was
unqualifedly without foundation. Senator
Griffith, sitting near johnson, said: sit is
true" whereupon johnson, suffused with
rage, turned upon Griffith and gave him the
lie direct. Many Senators rose in their
seats, and the scene was dramatic and excit-
ing.
Lieutenant Governor Chase, however, pre-
served order and sustained Johnson's
motion, that the resolution was contrary to
statute and consequently out of order. The
Senate, however, on appeal, overruled
Chase, and the resolution, with the soldier
amendment, was adopted by strictly party
vote. Senator Griffith apologized to the
Senate for his language, maintaining his
assertion was truthful but ill-timed.
Senator johnson followed with a scathing
speech, deiying Griffith to repeat his Ian
guage outside the Senate chamber, and
boldly denouncing him. He made no apol-
ogy either to the Senate or to any member.
In legislative circles tonight the quarrel is
the sole topic, and there is serious talk of a
resolution being introduced tomorrow to
expel Senator johnson, which, if carried,
will cost the Republicans their most ag-
gressiye Senator.

DEMPSEY AND McCAFFREY.
The Nonpariers Strange Offer to Meet the
Pittsburger.


Piusburger.
Jack Dempsey evidently thinks that he has
had enough of Dominick McCaffrey, as far as
''sparring for points is concerned. The Non
pariel" refuses to meet McCaffrey except in a
fight to finish. The reason is that there is no
place to spar' now. This is interesting news
to the public and would be instructive if there
was sound logic behind it. All sporting people
would like to know where it is possible to fight
to a finish where contest of limited rounds is
denied, even if the latter is for points only.
Most certainly il is reasonable to expect that
authorities friends, or whatever the powerthat-
be may be, will tolerate a scientific contest if
they will allow thorough-going slugging en-
counter. Without doubt this latest state
ment of Mr.. Dempsey is hard to understand.
But Jack Dempsey makes even a more re-
markable statement than that. He is quoted
as saying: THE rough and tumble fights have
had their effect, and scientific bouts have to
suffer for them" 1t is strange that Dempsey
would say this, and yet as public entertainer
court fight to a finish which ordinarily means
two men pounding almost the life and soul out
of each other. However, the sequel to the
entire matter is that those ''sparring contests"
that yielded thousands of unearned dollars of
public money to the contestants are not so fire.
quently permitted now as heretofore because
of their shallownesS. As a result we hear Of
desires and intentions to fight bona-fide prize
fights in a country where everybody knows the
laws prohibit them. 1t really, at this period
interesting to refresh ones memory with the
writings of Pierce Egan, which refer to times
real prize fighting, and that only, was popular,
to find that pugilists were so few, and scan the
newspapers of to-day, amid platform and stage
exhibitions, to find that pugilists are SO numer-
GUS.

The Last Sad Rites Over the Remains of
Mrs. jay Gould.
NEW YORK, January 16.-Every effort

cred casket, with unique silver handles.
Flowers were scattered over the
lid of the casket, and at its head and foot
were floral emblems. On the silver plate
was the inscription, "Helen Day Gould"
The attendance at the service was not large.
Mr.. Jay Gould did not appear among his
friends, but remained with his family in
one of the recesses of the stairway Just above
where the services were conducted.
About an hour after the services the re-
mains were taken to Woodlawn Cemetery
for interment.- Following the hearse was
carriage fcontaining Mr.. Jay Gould and
Miss Helen Gould, her daughter. In the
next carriage were the other members of the
family, George, Eddie, Frank and Hannah.
Several other relatives occupied four other
carriages.
