Had Done No Harm.
ST.. PAUL, April 20.-The Legislature
adjourned to-day sine die without hav-
ing passed any radical bills which had
SO aroused fears in tue business com
munity and caused 80 much and so un-
favorable comment throughout the
country. Bills for the taxation of mort
cages, providing severe penalties for
usury and lowering rate of incest
hostile to railroad and corporation legis-
lation and all semi-communistic and
agrarian measures died in one house or
the other, and business men express re-
lief that danger is past. Hompe's bill to
allow and one to build elevators on
right-of-way Of railways had passed both
bodies according to records, but when the
journal was approved to-day it was first
corrected by striking out three names
that were improperly recorded in favor
of that bill. AS the bill had in the
first place barely enough to pass
it, this correction of the journal fills the
bill. The only railroad bills passed were
such as we're acceptable to the railroads,
and other corporations were equally we'll
treated. The income tax bill and anti
tights bill passed the senate, but both
died in the house committees. While
radical and injurious proposed legisla-
ton was not effected, some important
bills were put through, among them
being the extension of the Australian
election system to the entire state; the
so-called anti Pinkerton bill; congress
sional reapportiontment; raising age of
consent to fourteen years.and preliminary
steps for a new capital building. In his
closing remarks to the house. Speaker
Champlin said that the members could
go home feeling that they had done no
harm.
RAINS IN THE NORTHWEST.
ST. PAUL, April 2O.-Heavy and gen.
eral rains throughout the northwest last
night and to-day have given much moist
ure and greatly improved the crop out
look, which was before unusually bright.
p. Stopped After the Tenth Round.
HoBoKEN, N. j., April ola fight
took place here last night which had
been hanging fire for several weeks for
want of a place to hold it without police
interference. The contestants were Dan
,Egan, the Montana kid, and Frank Cav
anagh of Newark. Black acted as ref
cree and Charles Harper and Otto New
house held time. 1t was announced to
be a ten round 60, but those who were
present understood perfectly we'll that
~ woo m no 81 frbf RI q Gpiob or1 or
did the captain of police, but he asserted
his authority and stopped it at the end
of the tenth round, when Cavanagh was
dropping down constantly to avoid pun
ishment. At the start the kid went
right at his man and landed some sting
ing blows upon his face, which had their
effect. In fact before the close of the
round Cavanagh had been punished SO
hard the spectators we're satisfied he was
not in it. Cavanagh showed up in pretty
good shape in the second round and
made some fine counters on his oppon-
ent's leads. Cavanagh made some good
rushes, but the kid was too much for
him and landed many straight hard lefts
in rapid succession without return.
The crowd got boisterous and the referee
cautioned them by saying est down,
you are like a lot of school boys throw
ing chalk at each other" The kid
forced the fighting in the third round
and Cavanagh took his punishment
so we'll that he elected hearty
applause. In the fourth round the kid
tried to punish his man and made great
progress. He drove him all over the
ring and punished him quite hard, but
did not succeed in knocking hlm out.
In the fifth round, Cavanagh commenced
his ducking tactics, which aided him
greatly, as the Kid missed, on an aver
age, nine times out of ten. BY the endiof
the sixth round, the Montana Kid had
Cavanagh's face looking like a piece of
raw beef. During the seventh round,
Cavanagh landed a stinger on the bridge
of Egan's nose, which brought tears to
his eyes and made his nose bleed freely.
It stunned him 80 completely that he
rubbed a glove over his face, and the
moment he saw blood he yelled "foul,"
to the great amusement Of the
spectators. During the eighth round,
the Kid was ordered to play on
Cavanagh's stomach, but he neglected to
do 80 on the ground as he said, he "wanted
to mark his man" The kid forced the
fighting in the ninth round and knocked
his man down several times, but did not
succeed in putting him out. The tenth
and last round was one in which Eean
had everything his own way. He
knocked his man down repeatedly, and
the only times be did not knock him
down we're when he went down to avoid
punishment. Cavanagh could not have
fought another round had it been Or
dered, so the referee declared Egan the
victor. =.
