DECIDED A DRAW.
The sparring Match Last Night-A Pretty
Contest but No Winner.

The sparring Match Last Night-A Pretty
Contest but No Winner.
There was a very pretty exhibition OF
sparring at Wade's Gem theatsr last
night in which Joe Irving of New York
aud Charlie Porter of Texas figured as
principals. 1t was declared that it was
no fight, only match to see who was
the better man.
The seconds were Fred Nelson of Bos-
ton for Irving and John O'Bryant for
Porter. Professor Will Willie of Charles
ton, S. c., was referee. Time was
called at I:27 o'clock and the contest
ants shook hands and squared off.
Throughout the contest Irving was
much the cooler man of
the two, while at first Porter.
assumed the offensive and worked much
the harder. Porter is clean, 1.-the
built fellow, and Irving more sturdily
built, and gives one the impression OF
immense endurance. Not even when he
got it in the neck did the smile leave his
lips. Porter scored the first knock
down and drew the first blood In the
last round Irving took the offensive and
scored two knock-doWns. When time
was called the referee announced the
blood even, the score on dowus one point
in Irving favor, but the points on taps
in favor of Porter. So he decided 3
draw.
The match by rounds was as follows:
l. Irving on the defensive. Porter
feints with his left and lands one full on
Irving's jugular. 2. Porter leads with
his right and gets it in the neck from
heavy left handler or Irving. Porter
still on the offensive and Irving taking
it easy. 8. Porter makes q feiut with
his left and sends Irving to the floor with
his right. Referee gives first blood and
first down to Porter. 4. Inving still on
the defense. Porter makes few heavy
unges and with vicious
lndercut hits Irving full In the
neck. 5. Both men get in heavy
work and Porter Is fioored. Each get in
IN the jugular. 6. Irving leads with his
light and lands heavily on Porter's
shoulder. Irving reaches for Porter's
neck and throws him on the ropes. z.
irving takes the offensive and downs
Porter twice in quick r succession.

Wheeler Speaks at Paris.

| Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, June 7.-Lieutenant-
Governor Wheeler and Hon. A. L. Mat
lock arrived here from Fort Worth at
9 O'Clock this morning en- route to
Monett, Mo. Handbills were distributed
announcing that Governor wheeler
would speak at 2:30 D. m. At that
| hour fair-sized audience of representa-
tive and thinking men turned cut to hear
him, and he was introduced by Hon. H =.
ID. Mcdonald. Governor Wheeler was
| very unwell, but he proceeded at
| once to the discussion of the issues of the
day. he declared himself in favor of
the amendment to the constitution re-
| lating to county roads and argued that
| nothing so favorably impressed immi-
grants and prospectors as good system
OF public highways. After discussing
various matters, he stated that the great
overlapping question was the railway
commission amendment. He favored
the amendment, not that he believed it
necessary, but-tO stop the hurtful sgita-
ton on this question that had
been carried on for years by
demagogues for POLITICAL effect. The
commission he wanted could be estab-
lished by the legislature without the
amendment. What he wanted was q
commission that would be department
of the government to gather data in re-
gard to the cost of constructing roads,
the expense of operating them, classify
freights and investigate charges of dis
elimination and report to the governor,
who could give the information to the
legislature that it might deal intelligently
with railroads Ha ranardad Con
and Judge Cook as extremists, the one
would Cypress the roads and the other
would not control them. Either policy
was injurious to Texas. He wanted to
deal justly with every interest. Texas
needs more railroads, more manufac-
lures, more capital and more of
everything. A commission with
plenary powers would be arbi-
trary and unjust. Gen. Hogg was
good man, but an extremist, and
therefore dangerous. Back of him and
bowling for him were the Union Labor
ties, the non-partisans, Greeubsckers,
and all the wings and isms. advocated
by demagogues. They were supporting
Hogg as one man and they were seeking
TO control the Democratic party and
lead it away from the principles 1t
had advocated for a hundred years.
Democrats should awaken to the danger |
that imperils the party, and purge it of |
the anarchists and communists that were |
seeking to engraft their false and danger
Gus doctrines upon its platform. What |
Texas needs is development. Nothing |
should be done to arrest its progress.
The governor spoke for an hour, and |
his speech was well received. 1t aroused |
more enthusiasm among Democrats than |
any speech of the campaign, and it made |
the dark lanternites sick.
