Very Sorry He Fought Kilrain-He is

This is how the New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat correspondent describes the proceed
ings in the court room at Puryis, Miss,
where Sullivan pleaded guilty and was
fined
The district attorney read the Indictment,
and, looking Sullivan in the face, asked:
"What say you, John L. Sullivan; are you
guilty or not guiltyw
Guilty" responded Sullivan in a firm
voice.
Turning to Judge Terral, Sullivan said:
"It your honor please, may | address the

"The court would be pleased to hear from
you, Mr.. sullivan" said the judge.
Sullivan then proceeded:
"In entering this plea Of guilty." said he,

Il do not care to dwell upon the circum-
stances of the alleged prize fight, or upon
matters connected herewith, further than
to state that Mr.. Sullivan was compelled to
either forfeit large sum Of money or vio-

will not stand in law, but human nature is
so constituted that very few men would
have acted in any other way than the
course pursued by Mr. Sullivan.

VERY MILD GAG" RULE.
Hoar Proposes Plan to shorten Deba to
in the Senate.

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 11.-About the
only matter of interest that broke the
monotony of the senate's debIte on the
tariff Saturday was very mild gag" res
olution offered by Hoar. 1t provides that
after reasonable" time of debate any
member can move the previous question,
upon which, ifseconded by majority of the
senate, a vote shall be taken w thout de-
bate. IL carried amendments shall be
voted upon in their order, but every sena-
tor may speak,once for twenty minutes
while this voting Is proceeding No mo-
ton shall be in order during this time
except to adjourn or to take re-
cess, and they can not be re-
peated unless a speech or another vote
shall have interviewed. The tart 4 bill was
then resumed, and Vance, Turpie and DAN
lei took up nearly the whole ses sion with
speeches. Several attempts were made to
reduce the duty on cotton ties, but all
failed
In the house the only business of i'm
portance transacted was the non-concur-
renee in the senate amendments to the
Indian appropriation bill. Enloe COM
planned that a doorkeeper had re fused him
egress from the house after a call of the
house had been ordered, and of cred reso-
buttons to inquire into the matter, which
he said the speaker was respon sible for.
With the full concurrence of tho speaker
the resolutions were referred to the judic-
larry committee

To SAY that the Gest people are ''shak-
ing in their boots" over the nomination
of B. T. Gable, ESQ, is putting it mildly.
The result of the Monmouth convention
was hardly known before the party or
gans and postmaster correspondents COM
menced their vituperstion and mud.sling-
ing. Happily. their poisonous shafts
fail to make an impression, and only
stultify the men who use them. The
invulnerability of the democratic NOM

however. apparently intensifies the splene-
tic disposition of these doleful hsrpists.
The very hopelessness of their case seems
to play havoc with their sense of pro-
priety and respect. While the ARGUS
sympathizes with this sorely afflicted
class. it begs to inform them that their
abuse of Mr.. Cable will fail of its object.
1t is impossible to draw the attention Of
the public from the fact that the present
republican congressman is lament.
able failure. and that he has done moth
ing since taking his seat in the national
legislature to warrant further support
from misrepresented constituency.

GEsT's Office holders are now indus
triously circulating the report that Ben
T. Cable Is opposed to the Hennepin
canal, and ask for definition of his
views on that measure. While Mr.. Ca
BILE has frequently expressed desire to
have the canal bill pass congress. still it
is not improper to have an expression
from him on that and other matters of a
public nature. and they will be forthcom-
ing at the proper time. With MIR. Cable
we take it that it is different than with
Mr.. Gest. 1t makes very little difference
what the latter gentleman's ideas are on
such questions. He never emphasizes
them with sufficient force to be felt one
way or the other.
