He did not believe that after he had voted
for every bill coming from the Republican
side the gentleman from Illinois WOULD
create so much excitement over the nrsG
bill coming from the Democratic
side. What better use couIu

it over the country in public buildings;

not a man on the Republican side VINO had
not asked him to vote, and SAID 10 MT
Clunie we will stand by you. Laugh
teri The Democrats were anxious TO get
chance to vote for his bill.
Mr.. Peters said that there was an idea
that the country had a plethoric treasury
but unfortunately the extravaganza OF the
late Democratic administration had almost
wiped out the surplus.
After further debate the bill was laid aside
favorably and the committee rising II, TO-
gether with the preceding bills, were re-
ported to the house.
In the house Mr.. Cannon made yigor-
Gus fiah bit against the Washington, ID. c.,
postoffice bill, moving to adjourn amlu
cries of "dilatory motion" from the Demo-
Gratis and raising the point of no quorum
amid shouts of "fillibusterlng from the

Tie speaker counted quorum and the
bill was passed as were the other bills re-
ported favorably.
The house then adjourned.

another blood stained club was placed in

who has abandoned his business for the
time being to assist in securing evidence
that will send the murderers of Engh to
the gallows: Said he to reporter today:
81 am satisfied that Lang had hand in
the killing probably welding the club, anu
is as deep in the mud as Brunk is in the
mire. Another party had hand in it, no
doubt. His testimony at the inquest in the
light of recent developments was tissue of
falsehoods from beginning to end"
The pocketbook, said to have been the
property of Engli, was found in the gutter
on the roof of Brunk's building. Its con-
tents had been distracted. A search of
Brunk's trunk disclosed beneath mass of
rubbish and clothing an ordinary cigar
box wrapped with Irvine. An investigation
disclosed mass OF thread, old paper and
other articles and $50 wrapped in piece of
cloth.

The Negro Denies Being Knocked Out by
Troy Wrestler.
CT EvELAND, o., March Peter Jackson,
the pugilist, arrived here Friday morning
accompanied by Jack Ashlean and Parson
Davis. Jackson denied the truth of the
report that he came near being knocked
out by Gus Lambert at Troy, N. Y, the
other night.
do you know who Lambert ISL" Parson
Davis, who acts as Jackson's spokesman,
asked.
why, yes he's a professional wrestler
and weighs 24O pounds. He had trained
two weeks because had offered 500 to any
man in Troy who would stand up before
Jackson for four rounds. Lambert wanted
the money and he got it. He did not stand
up, though he was not knocked out. In
the first place he would not agree to any
body but Troy saloon keeper for referee,
and after we let him have his way, in that
he insisted on having eight ounce gloves"
"Well, what could you expect anybody
tc do with such glove onP
"Why, you might stand up before jack
son or Sullivan or anyone else with SUCH
gloves on. There would be no possibility
of knocking man out. When time was
called Lambert rushed rightin and grabbed
Peter around the waist and tried to throw
HIM. Jackson did not go in for a rough
and tumble scrap. He obeyed the rules
and called Tor foul, but Lambert's friend
referee refused to allow it and the same
tactics were resorted to over and over
again. In fact all Lambert did was to go
around the stage trying to keep away
from Jackson and when he failed he would
rush in and catch Peter around the waist.
That was all there was to it."

raj and of those in New York in particu-

lar.
Mr.. Wilson, former employee in the New
York postoffice, next addressed the COM
mittee. He said he had resigned his place
because of over work. In answer to fur
Their questions by the committee Mr.. Will
son said that the civil service law had
estimation. II had secured the tenure of
office and had relieved them from political
taxation upon their salaries.
Representative Quinn of New York, him.
self a mechanic, as he stated. said that he
had always held that eight hours was long
enough for any man working as postal
clerks do to labor in one day.
The committee next resumed considera-
ton OF the subject of postal telegraphy and
was addressed BY Ralph Beaumont, chair
man OF the legislative committee of the
Knights Of Labor. He said that the
eighteenth plank of the platform of his or
ganization declared for a government tele-
graph system and Representative Wade of
Missouri had introduced bill embodying
their views. This bill had been reported to
the last congress and placed on
the calendar, but the house calendar
had been sort of potter's field for all
bills and the knights had no special lot in
that field. AS to the postmaster general
and not plan the postmaster general as
business man would enter upon on his own
responsibility. The postmaster general
was not to blame for that for he had ad-
mitted that he had submitted this limited
plan because complete one would require
larger appropriation than he could OBJ
tain. What farmer would buy half farm
when he could buy whole one?
The government was abundantly able to
buy the whole thing and carry it on with
out furnishing business opportunities for
somebody else. The postmaster general
said that he did not blame the Western
Union for charging what it could, but that
he represented people whose interests
suffered. He (Beaumont) thanked the
postmaster general for the declaration. 1t
was just what he had contended all along,
that the interests of the great corporations
were opposed to the interests of the peo-
pie.

Sullivan Knocked Down,

New YORK, Marck John L. Sullivan
while on big drunk on Monday night en-
tered a saloon at Thirty-fi street and
Sixth avenue. He met some friends with
whom he made himself familiar. Among
those present was a young man with two
female companions, all unknown to Sulli-
van. The young man failed to show the
champion the Difference to which he con-
sidered himself entitled. Suddenly Sulli-
van jumped to his feet, knocking over the
table as he got up, and exclaimed: II am
John L. Sullivan and car whip any man
in the world" Every one laughed, includ-
ing the young man. When the champion
saw him laughing he walked over to his
table and seated himself next to aim. The
young man turned his back to Sullivan and
the champion became furious. In loud
voice he exclaimed: do you know who
amp"
mo" returned the young man, 81 don't
know who you are and don't care"
"Well. am Sullivan, and can kill you
with one blow"
The young man replied that he did not
care who he was and that he would not
allow Sullivan or any other man to insult
him. The spectators were amazed at the
young mans audacity. When Sullivan
heard the remarks he jumped to his feet as
if to frighten the young man, but before he
could put up his hands the young man was
upon his feet Strengthening himself up he
let go his right fist with terrible force and
it landed on the champions mouth with
telling effect. Sullivan, reeled, staggered,
and falling over two chairs, sprawled upon
the floor. For few moments everything
was in the greatest confusion. The young
man was discreet enough to take his flight
at once. Sullivan was very ugly, and his

him quiet and led him out of the place.

yestigatiOn in Arkansas.

WASHINGTON, March AT a meeting of
the house committee on elections the sub
committee, consisting Of Chairman Rowell
and Messrs. Lacy and Crisp, reported that
it had received evidence in the contested
case of Clayton VS.. Breckenridge, from Ar
kansas, with memorial from the contest
ant and statement from the contestee.
They recommend that these be printed for
the use of the house and they have pro-
cseded as far as they can without authority
from the house. and owing to the alleged
assassination of Clayton, whereby the con-
test has been suspended, 1t is of the highest
importance that the matter be fully inves-
tigated. Therefore they reported resolu-
ton providing for the appointment of a
committee of five members to be appointed
by the chairman to make full and thor
ough investigation of the contested election
case of Clayton VS.. Breckenridge. The
sub committee is to be authorized to send
for persons and papers. and if necessary to
go to ARKANSAS ~ pursue the inquiry. The
resolution was adopted by unanimous
vote.
