Says He Can Whip Fitzsrmmons.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Mike Dooley is ar
Australian middle weight who claims tc
have offered to stop Ftzsimmons in eight
rounds. He is alleged to be even better
than Dempsey's oonquerer, and the Cali
fornia Athletic Club has sent for him.
Up to the time that Fitzsimmons defeated
Billy Mccarthy he was as poor as a church
mouse. He did not have money enough
to pay a steerage passage from Melbourne
to this country, and he crossed the ocean
as a stowaway, working his passage after
being discovered, by washing the decks.
A pint of porter or a dram of grog was
the extent of his liquid r~efreshment a year
ago. Now he is drinking champagne, and
by the time he has devoured the tender.
IONS of a score of American beeves, he
will have the meat on his frame that
nature designed it to carry. Then he will
be in his proper class. Fitzslmmons'
next will no doubt be with Joe Choynski,
the California heavy weight, who is win
ming fame in Australia. Choynski can
reduce in weight and fitzsimmons will
put on flesh.
Jack Dempsey's manliness and honesty
is shown by 40 Incident of the recent bat,
tie. His friends in Portland sent him
1900 to bet on himself. He intended
wagering 1t in the ring, but was prevented
by the police. Within ten minutes after
the fight Dempsey caused a telegram to

them that their money had not been

WASHINGTON. Jan. % Cockrell re-
sumed his argument against the closure
rule, saying, in the course Of his remarks,
that the Democratic senators would be as
brief as possible in discussing matters of
public necessity, but if the Republican
senators insisted on the elections bill,
merely a party measure, not endorsed by
halt of their own party, the Democratic
senators would discuss it in all its ramih-
cations.
Teller asked Aldrich how long be pro.
posed TO allow tor debate on the resolu-
ton, remarking that it was rumored that
some arbitrary mean were to be resorted
to to force a decision.
Aldrich said he took it for granted that
there could be no closing of debate ex-
cept by action ofthe senate itself, aud asked
unanimous consent that a vote be taken
on the resolution and amendments at 5
o clock tomorrow.
German was delighted that the senator
resorted to that proper and orderly meth
cd rather than depended upon the Ipse

purpose of the rule. The only object was
TO pass the icrce bill. Everything else
was made subordinate to the whims OF the

Topeka, Jan. 23.-The vote in the
lower house thus afternoon on the ques-
ton O.. referring to a special committee a
memorial from the Union veterans Of
Topeka praying for the return OF ingalls,
to the senate, and demanding that no man
be selected to succeed him who could not
benefit the old soldiers more in congress
than he, created some disturbance among
the Alliance forces and corresponding
confidence among the Ingalls, people.
The question was whether the memorial
should be referred to a special committee
or should be spread upon the house jour
nal. The Republicans insisted on the lat
ter proceeding, while the Alliance leaders
urged the former. The resolution was
finally referred to the committee by 81 to
3S. Thirteen Alliance members voted
with the Republicans, while eight Demo
Gratis voted with the Alliance. This vote
Is taken as a possible indication of the
vote on senator.

Preoccup2tiun with personality is GER

less a generally modern-trait; but our
present orgy of compliment is, 1 think.
a new variant of it. And it n be
that we are becoming Frenchiiied to the
point of social insincerity for the mere
sake of moral perverSty. The truth
probably is that rs we progress in social
civilization-or perhaps better, as social
civilization spreads increasingly and
penetrates our bewildering and encour-
aging succession OF nouveile5 couches-
the desire to make one's self agreeable.
instead of merely important, is increas-
ing proportionately.
Now, amenity rs an art il g difficult
one. To succeed in it demands either
the certain felicity" which Bacon af-
frmcd to be necessary to the painter
who would improve upon nature, or that
long course of social civilization where
by tradition secures the sinking Of eff
fo.t il unconsciousness. and the substi-
tuition of inherited for acquired caplci-
tics. In the absence of either of these
advantages it ia the shorte3t rather than

our friends for their qualities or their
performances in the blank and stark
way sanctioned no doubt by orr unques-
toned sincerity, but dictated perhaps by
an imperfect taste, it is probable that
with our motive Of being agreeable is
very subtly associated a desire to he

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The bark
Sea King reached here today from Caleta
Bueno. the most northern part of Chill.
She had no papers, and the captain de-
clared he had lifted his anchor and put to
sea TO avoid the coniscation of his vessel.
He was pursued two days nv a Gillian
war vessel, but managed to distance her.
The trouble grew out of a collision be-
tween the Sea King and a French vessel
in the port of Caleta Bueno. The Sea
King was damaged to the extent of ST.
600 and the claim against the French YES
sci was proved. when the latter brought a
counter suit. The Chilian authorities,
who are under obligations to the French,
reversed the previous decision, and when
the captain saw that an appeal to the
higher court would be useless he saved
his vessel by fight. The case has been re-
terred to Blaine for settlement. The Sea
King belongs to 6. H.. Theobald of Bath
Me, and will probably be sold here, as
she is unfit for further service.
