SAN FRANcrsco, Dec. H.-Geo. Ia
Blanche, the Marine, and Alex Gregoains,
of San Francisco. met in finish fight mt
the Occident club tonight, for $1,000.
Danny Needham was referee. La Blanche
was seconded by Al Bntier and Billy smith,
Greggains by Martin Murphy and Patsy
Hogan. Greggains outclassed La Blanche in
height and reach, but the latter possessed
greater ring experience. La Blanche was
the favorite in the betting. In the first
round GregRains got IN two good ones in
the wind. In the second he got in hard
right and left on his opponents jaw. The
Marines jaw and stomach were red
from visitations by Greggains' left. The
third was u repetition of the second.
From the fourth to this eighth the Marine
was frequently Jared in tho wind and one
of his rushes was stopped with straight
left on the chin. In the seventh the Ma
rine fell to the floor from the force of left
punch on Greggains' ear. In the tenth the
Marine reached Greggains' jaw with hard
right and later with 9 right body punch.
Honors were even in the eleventh. From
the twelfth to the seventeenth they fought
at close quarters. Both Greegains' eyes
were badly visited and there was heavy
lump in the center of his forehead.
LaBlanche was bleeding at the
mouth. In the fourteenth Greg
gains cleverly stopped LaBlanche's
swing by a left jab on the nose and in the
fifteenth sent the Marine reeling with a left
on the jaw. In the seventeenth the marine
rushed, but GreQains eluded him and he
fell through the ropes. When LaBlanche
arose he limped badly. asserting that his
right leg was injured.
There were cries Of .sfoul,' "fake," and
pandemonium ensued. Gteggains rushed
on the Marine, who hung to the ropes, and
punished him right and left. While the
referee was endeavoring to separate them the
round closed. In the eighteenth Greggains
nearly knocked La Blanche out, when the
police stepped into the ring, dering the
fight stopped. The referee said Greggains
haG been doing most Of the fighting and he
awarded him the fight. The crowd hissed,
but the club abides by tie referees de-
cision.

senate caucus committee which had charge
of the arrangement of the republican rep
resentation upon the senate committees re-
ported to the caucus. AS nearly as can be

BY SANDERS AND POWER.
Bills Introduced in the Senate by
the Two Gentlemen From
Montana.
Right of Way for a Railroad
Across the Corner of the
Park.
Public buildings for Helena and Butte
Montana Timber Lands--The Prob
lem of Irrigation.

WAsHTnGToN, Dec. H.-[Special. 1--Col.
Sanders bill providing for changes Of the
boundaries Of the Yellowstone park is inno-
cent enough on its face, but there is a great
deal moro in it than at first would be sup
posed. Ii means that Il right OF way is
granted to any road that may choose TO
build from Cinnabar to Parke City. The
bill proposed to cut off all that portion of
park on the right bank Of Soda Butte creek
and the Yellowstone river, and provision il
made that in cnse a railroad building these
streams should fnd it necessary TO CROSS or
recross them it will have the right to do go.
This right Of way bill Col. Sanders re-
quested, when he introduced IL, that it be
referred to the committee on public lands,
and Senator Henderson wanted 1t to go to
park business has gone heretofore, and said
that was the precedent. Sanders tattly re-
piled that Montana and Wyoming had
been admitted and that this, as we'll as
some other senatorial precedents, could be
d1scensed with, and the bill went to the
public lands. Sanders knew he would
be on that committee. While attempts
may be made to cut down the park
boundaries on one side. Commissioner
Garter, under the power to reserve lands
for timber, has been practically adding to
it on the other, and it is belived that the
bill will go through, making these reserved
lands portion of the park.
Mr.. Power wants $500, 900 public build
ing at Helena and one costing half that
amount at Butte. and he has introduced
bills to that effect. There is danger ahead
for the public building bills. Mr.. Power
also has bill providing that the timber
lands in Montana be treated as those of
coast states and be disposed OF in the same
manner. and that they hereafter be subject
to the mineral laws.
Mr.. Power also introduced a bill which
he says will revolutionize the irrigation
problem as soon as it is put into effect but
as there is going to be little or no irrigation
legislation at this session it does not much
matter. There are half a dozen p-oposi-
tions OH the subject but when they are all
rounded up it will be found that the west
is as dry as ever.

Those Between France and Bulgaria
Severed by the Latter.
SOFIA, Dec. 14.-The French diplomatic
agent here has broken off relations with the
Bulgarian authorities, owing to the refusal
to accede to the demand of France that a
journalist named Chadorine recently ex-
PEELED from the country, be allowed to re-
turn. French Charge d'Affairs Lamel, in a
note to the Bulgarian government, pro-
tested against the expulsion as a fiagrant
premeditated violation of treaties existing
between France and Bulgaria. In reply the
Bulgarian government said the journalist
had been Systematically sending the French
press lying stories about Bulgaria; that the
government was unable to rescind the Or
der of expulsion. Immediately upon re-
ceiving this reply Lanel verbally an
nounced to the foreign minister that he had
received instructions from the French gov
ernment to sever diplomatic relations with
Bulgaria. The event causes great uneasi-
ness in diplomatic circles.

THE GRAVES TRIAL.

port Of the Testimony.


port Of the Testimony.
DENVER. Dec. 14--In the Barnaby and
Graves trial to-day Mrs. Il. =. WorrelI. Jr.,
was the first witness. She said she became
acquainted with Mrs. Barnaby last Janu-
ary, when she arrived in this city with Mrs.
Worrell, Sr. on her trip to California. She
next saw her in April, when she returned
from California. Witness remembered the
arrival Of the deadly bottle at her honse,
but conld not say she had seen it before.
s'he thought, however, Ii contained whisky,
fsr sho heard some 9ne say so. Witness
testified that Mrs. Worrel, ST., and Mrs.
Barnhby became i'll, and the latter died
from drinking some Of tho contents Of the
bottle. which they supposed came from
Bannetts. She then told Of the meeting
with Graves upon her arrival in Denver.
Mra. Worrell, Jr.. further said that on
Tuesday she asked Mrs: Isarnaby il she
believed "the Bennetts' sent the bottle,
asking this because when Mrs. Barnaby
opened the bottle she spoke Of the Ben
netts as having sent it. She also asked
II M,s. Bnrnaby believed DR.. Graves had
sent ". saying she believed the doctor had
complete control of Mrs. Barnaby's affairs
the way he had treated her in
California. Witness heard that Mrs.
Barnaby had left the doctor SEC, 900 in her
will, and also that she had left Mrs. Wor-
rell, Jr. some money. On croGs-examina-
tion witness admitted that the fatal bottle
remained in the buggy at the livery stable
all hight and WAS not brought to the house
until next day. Witness grandmother
then testified as to the illness. Mrs. Barn
ably asked her to keep the affair out Of the
papers; that she would pnt it in the hands
of detectives: that she had no enemies, but
thought a maid she had didn't like her:
that this maid was employed Mt DR.. Graves
request. Witness asked Mrs. Barnaby
If there was any one that
would do this. She replied
she had left DIR. Graves $4,000
and spoke Of her mother dying not long
before and also her daughters. Mrs. Con-
rad, mother Of Mrs. Worrell, ir, testified
much the same az her daughter, except that
she spoke Of how nervous Or. Graves was
when he called at Mrs. Worrell's. She
said that on the funeral car returning east
Mrs. Worrel complained Of being ill. The
doctor at once offered to give her some
whisky, but she turned away and said, "Oh,
excuse me.' He repeated the offer three
times. Mrs. Conrad admitted that the real
estate firm of Worrell d Co. did little busi-
ness, but she would never entertain the
thought that they could have committed
the crime to get $4,000 left them by Mrs.
Barnaby,

settled by the sullivan Code.

There was an interesting little affair up the
gulch on Sunday night that partook of the
features of a resort to the code, with the
difference that the weapons used were those
furnished by nature. Harry G. Sterling
and l.. o. Evans, both young men, were in
Marks billiard hall when they got in a
dispute over u debt due by the former to
the latter. 'Lf there weren't SO many peo-
pie around I'd lick you right here,' said
Sterling. "Oh. if that's all, I'll pay for the
hack and we'll settle it somewhere else."
replied Evans. The proposition was ac-
cepted and accompanied by their seconds,
the young men rode up the guloh to con-
venient point where they began to settle
their difference with their fists without
further parley. Evans led off with whack
on his advelsary's head. As he did SO he
slipped and the next moment the two were
tied up in q knot. Regaining their feet,
Evans let out and landed safe on Sterling's
head, knocking him down. This ended the
fight and all hands returned to town and
went to bed.
