compelled to carry about, they will resume their

NEW YORK, April 16.-Here is what P. jaw,
who is admitted to be the best sporting author
lty on the continent, says of the fight: 81 have
attented all the big contests with gloves and
without them which have taken place within
the past eleven years, and L have travelled
thousands Of miles to witness them. 1 have
seen men of all sorts and descriptions, but
have never before looked upon man who Is SO
deceptive as Cerbett. He fooled McCafrey
from the start. He stood of and let Dominick
wear himself out by making short leaps, and
lhen when the 1ll-conditioned Pittsburger was
out CT breath and tired, Corbett sailed in and
literally punched holes in him. Mac was not in

self in going at all. Personally, 1 do not
take prlZefghters' excuses as being of value. I
Know man is to blame if ne enters contest

DlSFRANCHISEMENT.
The Anti-MO1mOn Bill Will be
Made Applicable
TO EACH OF THE TERRITORIES.
The Republicans Favor the Measure. the
Democrats Oppose It-What the Pur-
pose of the Scheme Is.

WASHINGTON, April I6.-[S Especial telegram to
THE HERALD. I'm the House committee on ter
rltories to-day the new bill to disfranchise the
MormonS in Utah was discussed for a short
time. An amendment making the disfranchise-
ment applicable to all the territories was
adopted by strict party vote. The Democrats
opposed the measure all through, but the Re
pnblicans seemed determined TO push 1t to a
vote at once without giving further hearing to
the opponents of the bill, claiming that the test
proposition had been so recently argued before
them on the Idaho admission bill that the
committee was in possession of all
the facts. During the discussion Delegate
Dubois stated that at the late conference in
Salt Lake the president of the Mormon church
had declared that there would be no further
revelation received by the church. from which
Dubois argued that if no further revelation was
received polygamy was irrevocably fixed upon
the church. His statement being disputed he

lily IL. When II o'clock arrived the Democrats
objected to further consideration and the bill
went over Till Wednesday next.
1t is understood that the Delegates from Ar

''SAM HAuSER, OF MONTANA"
A Judge" Libel on the Ex-Governor May Make
Much Trouble Yet.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
NEW YORK, April 16.-A curiously sensational
libel was perpetrated on Ex-Governor Samuel
Hauser, of Montana, few weeks ago in this
city, and he and his friends are here still wait
ing to have set right and much establishment
is expressed at the course of Russell Harrison,
himself Montanian, in the matter. Undert the
caption, Sam Hauser, of Montana Judge

tempting TO order breakfast, and exclaiming to
the waiter, Give me the, hic, same as usual, a
stack OF blue and reds To say that it created

mildly. Russell Harrison wrote Hauser a note
OF apology and explained that Mr. Arkell Mr.
Gilman and himself had all been absent at

IN charge OF the paper not being familiar with

as odious as it is useless; it has no
justification in either the practice,
principles or professions of the Repub-
llcan party. II a. bounty IS useful
for sugar, why not for other things? In all the
range OF articles with which the bill deals, are
there none fit for a bounty but sugar? II q
bounty is tax of less burden than is the tariff.
why are sugar consumers selected for the favor?
A Republica House of Representatives should
not set this example Who can say where the
contagion of it will stop?''
Speaking of the beet sugar industry of Cali

able to supply home consumption before it is
entitled to protection? Other industries
nay nave been protected in every tariff
bill One of the accusations against
tne proposed Dill will be-that it retains duties
levied for expenditures. Why is sugar to be
placed on the free list? 1t will be puzzling to
answer that Why. 1t is submitted then that
upon every principle upon which q protective
duty can be applied to any American industry
III must be applied TO sugar; upon every prin-
clple upon which protective duty can be
denied to sugar, 1T must be denied to every
other American industry. Protection must be
universal or not at all; it must be national
or not at all. The bill presented gives bounty
to silk cocoons and raw silk 1t is as objection
able as the bounty on sugar.
The bill as submitted with the report shows
no changes since it was laid before the full com
mlttee. In the case of nickel ore, q proviSo has
been attached requiring such ores as contain
