San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 18.-Jimmy
Griffen, the st. Paul lightweight, was
defested by Billy Mahsn Of this city, in
~ rounds, at the Occidental Athletic
Club last night. The fight was fierce
throughout. Griffeu was badly punished;
his lips and nose wsre cut and swollen,
and his body covered with blood. He
fought q game battle, however, and
although Mahan forced the fighting
nearly all the time, Griffen made O savage
attack in almost every round and made it
uncomfortable for the San Francisco
man. Grifsn was knocked down half q
dozen times in the last three rounds, but
struggled gamely to his feet until ter
rifo blow in the jaw finally sent him to
the floor. His head struck the boards
heavily, and he was picked up insensible.

Kilrain landed vicious blow on the
back of Corbstt's neck, scEAping the skin

How He Evaded the Law 40 as TO
Secure Packed Juries in the Fed
erni Court OF Florida.
The murder Of Deputy United States
Msrshal Saunders IN Florida, which is
ogueing a political sensation throughout
the country, seems to have been q logical
sequence of tha partisan conduct of
Judge Charles |. SwGyne, formerly of
Ashland, Mil Oreek hundred, this county,
who was recently appointed o Federal
Judge in Florida. The situation that led
to the prosecutions and eventually TO the
murder 10 thus explained:
The Democrats control all the state
and most Of the county Offices in Florida,
while the machinery OF Federal power is
in the hands OF Republicans, who have
not been Bcrupuious as to the manner of
exercising their authority. Insisting
that great frauds had been committed in
the recent elections, the Federal officials
instituted sweeping prosecutions against
Democratic election officers In the United
States courts. OF this the Democrats did
not complain; but they protested against
processes for securing jurorB which ex-
cluded the possibility of fair trial.
Prominent Ia the work of Jury fixing"
were Judge Swsyne, whose nomination is
now awaiting confirmation in the Senate;
Walter, the clerk OF his court, and United
States Marshal Mizell. As evidence of
the method of procuring juries, a letter
Of this United States official is produced,
in which he urged Republican ia re-
mote county 10 send the names Of 'true
and tried Hepuhlioans' to serve as jurors.
For the purpose of aiding in the manip-
ulation of tho jury lists Judge Swayne
removed the Democratic commissioner oil
elections aud appointed, in violation Of
tho spirit of tho Law, nominal Demo.
crat who was elected to tho legislature
over the regular candidate of his party.
The result OF the scRndalous work OF
these Federal officials was that the first
grand jury drawn contained rs Republi.
cans TO one Democrat. The list of petit
Jurors contained one Democrat to 10 H..
publicsns. When tho juries were thus
secured the United States marshal and
his deputies secured Florida for the par-

Speaker Reed carried his rules through
the House Friday by u vote Of l61 TO las,
after two days OF discussion under the i've
minute rule. The Democrats made efforts
to secure amendments to the changes that
they had criticised as radical but the Re-
pubtteans adhered to the report as closely
US If they had been bound TO the decisions
OF the committee by their official oRths.
The Democrats voted on all the motions
made for amendment, and they voted With
out assistance from the Republicans, even
the motion to strike out the rule to give the
Speaker tho right TO decide rs to what Is a
dilatory motion being adhered to by an
unbroken Republican line. This WINS not
surprising, for the conversational criticisms
OF Republicans on the Speaker and his pro-
gTamme were not expected to bebacked up
by voting assistance 10 the Democrats. The
fact IS that tho Republicans generally are
disposed to give the notions OF the Speaker
a trial, under the Impression that they will
favor tho passage Of much larger number
OF bills than 1t has been possible to get
through 10 recent sessions,
Dr. Byn lin started up discussion on
b la motion TO provide that when bills for
increase OF pensions or for new pensions
shall be under consideration, 1t shall be in
order TO propose provisions for taxation to
meet the expenditure. Tho fund 10 be
raised, he klso proposed, should be set

d in conscious or unconscious league
with the pension attorneys, to protest that
the Democrats were eontrlvlng obstacles
10 be put IN the way OF the pensioners of
ths country. Grosvenor and other Repub-
licans contend0d for the rule that Mr.
Atkinson OF Pennsylvania has secured In
caucus, giving general pension bills right

was adopted.
