A MORBID DEVELOPMENT.

If anything could be more sickening
than the voluminous slush with which
the newspapers are deiuged concerning
a lot of prize-fghters, we should be
pleased to see what form the infliction
would assume. The visitation of the
last week is something from which hu-
manity shrinks, and it reflects precious
little credit on the Crescent City.
Three brutal encounters, thinly dis
guised from downright prize fights by
the wearing of thin gloves, ought, in all
conscience, to be enough to rouse a
sense OF protesting decency in any ccm-
munity. But the leading newspapers
of the country have even exceeded
the prize-fghters themselves in pruri-
ent vulgarity. A week before
Sullivan started for New Orleans the
New York World contained two full
pages devoted to the invincible( p
champion, who was portrayed in all
shapes an puris naturalibus. Our own
Examiner and Chronicle made mighty
effort and surpassed all previous records.
The utterances of victorious monarchs
have seldom been hung on with more
eagerness than has characterized the
boastful outgivings of Sullivan and
Corbett. The dignifed people of ancient
Greece and Rome deigned to amuse
themselves by the bloody struggles OF
gladiators, but they would have disdained
to listen to the mouthings of these
worthless. The utmost the Roman gla-
diator was permitted to say was. 81 Who
am about to die, salute thee, Cesar. F"
That the ancient brevity was preferable
to this disgusting modern wordiness few
people who are in full possession OF their
senses will feel inclined to dispute.
There is grave reason to fear that we are
returning to barbarism, and few stat
utes making pugilistic encounters felo-
nies would seem to be called for just
now, The man who permits himself to
philosophize may well ask himself whith-
er we are drifting. The space devoted to
the description of the battle between
Sullivan and Corbett at New Orleans
last Wednesday considerably exceeded
that accorded to Mr.. Harrison's letter
of acceptance. 1t is true that document
was not great intellectual effort, but it
emanated from man who occupies the
most exalted station on earth. 1t is
equally safe to say that the two pages
devoted to the two bruisers were read by
ten persons to one who read the five
columns devoted to the letter of accept
ance. We seem to be very decidedly on
the down-grade, and we are afraid that
there is no brake powerful enough to
arrest the train.

A FoUR-MILE race took place at Coney
Island yesterday, the first that has been
run in America for eight years. 1t was
won by Demuth in 40, which is the
second fastest race ever run at that dis
tance between horses, Fellowcraft's defeat
of Wanderer in 7:191a being the best.
Ten Broeck's :153 is the best against
time, and Ten Brock was the sire Of
Demuth. The winner was trained by
Matt Allen, at one time trainer for the
late Senator Hearst.

THE quarantine persecution in New

rightfully. The imminent present

run by myriads of foreign immigrants,

Early on the morning of the 10Th OF
August three armed robbers entered a

Mr.. Otake was then released from his
bonds and attempted to give the alarm,
but one of the ruffians cut him down,

FRANK cHAvEs KILLED.

News was received here yesterday
that Frank Chaves had been killed
Sunday night at Santa Fe, but no
one could get the particulars. To-
day telegram was received from a
prominent citizen of Santa Fe saying
that he had just parted with Chaves
only few minutes before the shoot
ing occurred and that when shot he
was on the bridge near the Guada-
lupe church, that five shots were
fired, all taking effect and that he
died without being able to speak to
anyone, and that there was no clue
to the murderer or his reasons for
the murder. Today's Albuquerque
Democrat has the following tele-
gram about the shooting:
Frank Chaves, ex-sheriff of this
county, was shot and killed at 10
o'clock last night near his home
while gong home. The coroner's
inquest, being held today, discloses
that two masked men lay in wait for
him; that five shots were fired, every
one taking effect, killing him in
Stantly No clue to the murderers
so far. The inquest will last all day
tomorrow, as many witnesses are to
be heard. The motive for the crime
is unknown. Chaves was a promi-
nent Democratic politician.

FIRE IN WEST LAS VEGAS.

Saturday night some one set fire
to the residence of Mrs. Lucero, on
south Pacific street, just north of the
Presby terian mission boarding
school. The Romero Hose company
were soon on the ground and had a
stream playing on the burning house.
Whether by accident or intention is
not known, but while the boys were
at work the water was turned off at
the hydrant, some think by the
parties who set the fire; others think
it was some one trying to give more
force to the stream and in trying to
turn on the water turned the wrong
way. The Hook and Ladder company
from the East Side were called for
and went over and helped all they
could to save the house. The fire
was subdued in about half an hour
but the house is very badly damaged.
The loss is about $1,000, and the
house was insured with a. II. Whit
more for $4,000.
A dispatch to Albuquerque from
here says that the fire was the result
of political feud between rival fac
tions. If the party who sent the
knows this to be fact he
should be called to air his knowledge
in court; if he doesn't know this to
be the case he should receive the
censure of the community for libel
ing us to the world.

KANSAS CITY m LUCK.

The following in relation to the

P. d. Armour, of Chicago, was in
Kansas City Monday, but all efforts
to find out the purpose of his coming

packing house in the world. Twelve
hundred men have been secretly en-
ployed for the putting up of the
building and these are being mar.

ing to be erected will be 1000 feet
in length and eight stories in height.
-Four other huge structures will be
put up by its side. This will add to
the packing house employees here
more than 5000, most of whom will
be brought from Chicago. Mr..

JaoKsoN-sLAyIN PRIZE FIGHT.

LONDON, May 90.-The National
club was crowded to suffocation to-
night with spectators anxious to wit
ness the Slavin-Jackson fight. The
entrance became so obstructed that
the owners of the building refused
to allow any more to enter without a
ticket. Two hundred policemen
preserved order in the club house,
where surging crowd had assem-
bled with the expectation of being
admitted.
Lord Lonsdale opened the proceed
ings with a speech, and the fight then
began.
1t was 10 minutes after Z O'Clock
when Jackson and Slavin made their
appearance in the ring to begin the
fight. The usual preliminaries occu.
pied only few minutes.
The fight only lasted ten rounds
and in the tenth round Slavin came
up very game, but he was weaker
than he looked. After a few ex-
changes Jackson landed a swinging
right-handed blow on Slavin's throat
sending him against the ropes. Be-
fore Slavin was able to recover,
Jackson was on him with both hands
Slavin being dazed from the effects
of his terrible punishment. The
negro fought him all around the
ring and succeeded in knocking him
out In the first two minutes of the
round.
Jackson was then declared the
winner amid terrific cheering. Jack
son tipped the scales at 1913 pounds
and Slavin at 1876 pounds.

WRECK ON THE SANTA rE.

CHICAGO, May 3o.-All passengers
injured in the wreck on the Santa Fe
railway last night, at Lamonte, Ills,
have been sent to their homes in care
of physicians. 1t is believed that
none of them are fatally hurt. The
accident was altogether unavoidable.
A COW and calf got caught in cattle
guard just at a curve where it was
impossible to stop the train and it
was derailed. The engineer staid at
his post and died bravely. The
money loss is hard to estimate, but it
does not amount to much.

THE BILL IS ILLEGAL.
Cushing's Manual Is
Not YET Butchered.
SENATE RULE VIOLATED.
The Presiding officers" Measure Can
not Hold Good.

Considerable controversy exists as tn
the precise status OF the so-called "Presi-
ding Officers" bill, which finally passed
the Senate in concurrence last Saturday.
Many claim, and with good reason, too,
that its legality hinges on the legal con-
struction OF rule 80 OF the Senate, which
is as follows:
"No bill or act OF a lpublic nature shall
be finally acted upon by the Senate unless
1t shall have been printed and distributed
to the members OF the Senate at least one
day before such bill is called up and acted
upon. This rule shall not be suspended
during the last week OF the session
EXCEPT BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT"
Now it is on record that nine Senators
protested against the suspension of that
rule on Friday last during the discussion
of the measure. The Senate records bear
witness to the fact.
The only loophole by which the truly
good x. o. p. men crawled out OF the
predicament was the plea that while
everyt ody knew they would adjourn
aturday OF last week, the resolution not
having been passed, there was no "official
knowledge" Of il.
There is knowledge o. it now however,
both official and otherwise, and the
question now arises, Does law enacted
in violation OF that rule possess any
statutory power?
