incident from the time the steamer
backed out from the wharf at l1;40
Monday night until che swung around
aud tied up among the willows on the
West Virginia side opposite Belmont
Park, the old resort made famous or
notorious in the palmy days OF Leo
Anschutz,
The greater part of the crowd was
kept ON the big 'double.decker" barge,
which was in tow OF the steamboat, and
the accommodations were sufficiently
large to give plenty OF, in some cases,
needed elbow room to the passengers.
The scene presented on the lower deck
Of this craft was novel, and one to be
remembered. Five or six stands and
booths, at which the sport could find
refreshment, liquid and otherwise, were
located along the sides and end; that
they were liherally patronized goes al.
most without saying. To tho credit Of
the crowd at large 1t should be said
that there were comparatively few cases
OF extreme Convivialty to mar the en-
joyment OF the pleasant night rido
down the beautiful Ohio.
The fighters were Of course quartered
on the steamboat, Howley and his i'm.
mediate supporters occupying the fore
cabin and Bolen and friends being in
the ladies' cabin. Howley was put to
bed before the boat started and was
soon sound asleep. Bolen, on the other
hand, did not seem to be in want OF
sleep, and continued to talk interest
'ingly OF his ring experiences, until flu
ally his trainer told him to seek his
bunk and few hours sleep.
1t was about 1:45 O'Clock yesterday
morning when the steamer and barge
arrived at point nearly opposite Bel
mont Grove. where IL had been deter
mined to have the fight take place.
There had been some thought Of hav-
ing the contest take place Immediately
after the arrival there, by torchlight,
but this plan was given up. and 1t
was then given out to the crowd that
the boat would remain tied up where
she was until daybreak, whom she
would cross ovar aud laud the crowd on
the Ohio shore.

"FoUR MEN in A RIvER.~


Story OF the Narrow Escape OF Four Men
From Drowning.
Several minor fights, not on the pro-
gramme, occurred on the barge, one or
two OF which looked for time as
though they would grow into some
thing more serious, bnt happily this
unfortunate outcome was avoided. It
was also feared that some OF the boys
who had been worshipping at BaCcheus'
altar with frequency almost unabated
wandering about tho barge and boat
stumble overheard and find a watery
grave. This fear which had been freely
expressed by the soberer part Of the
crowd found a elimination, nearly q
fatal one, shortly after 2 o'clock in the
morning.
To better understand the situation It
should be known that the steamer and
barge were lying at the West Virginia
side OF the river, where an abrupt hill
commences at the rivers bottom and
runs almost straight up; this made the
river deeper there than probably at
any other point. The barge was
against the bank and swung out dag
onally, making the bow Of the steamer
some seventy-hvo feot from tho rocky
shore; the wafer being ten or twelve
feet deep. The stage OF tho hteamer
was swung over to one side, the upper
ond awung against the top deck OF the
barge, and the lower end on the steam-
er'a boiler deck. During the night, up
this precipitous incline, several adven.
turous and toolhardy spirits had walked
or run TO the bargos upper deck, with
out injury.
THE "oNcR TOO OFTEN"

only few minutes before had made an
attempt to stagger up tho stage, but

SAN Francisco, July 1s.-Tho steam
schooner, Alexandra, which disabled
the warship Mohican in Bering Sea.
sailed from San Francisco last April
under the Hawaiian flag, ostensibly for
a hunting and fishing voyage in the
North Pacific ocean. The peculiarity
OF her outfit was that she carried over
sixty men, many Of them expert seal
hunters, and that she had over forty
Winchester rifles and several small
cannons. She also carried supplies for
curing and packing seal skins. Her
captain, Dan Mclean, is notorious for
having conducted several raids on the
seal rookeries on the Japan coast, and
one OF his vessels was seized by the
Russians aftcr q lively fight. The men
selected by him were known in
San Francisco as men who would cnjoy
fight Although the Japan coast was
given as her destination 1t was thought
that the Alexander contemplated raids
on the Russian or Bering rookeries,
and tho American patrolling feet was
warned to look out.

WASHINGTON, July ls.-The navy de-
partment officials do not credit the
story that tho United States steamer
Mohican was fired upon and disabled
by n poaching steamer in Alaskan
waters on the 25th Of last mouth. One
strong reason for their incsedulity ia
tho following telegram received this
morning from Captain Hooper, COM
manding the revenue cutter Rush;
NANlNo. B. @.
TO Secretary ofMe Nary. Washington, D. q
"By order OF Commander Ludlow the
steamer Rush seized, on July 2, at
Chirulaf island, American achooner st.
Paul and Alexander for violation OF
section 1858, revised statutes"
1t may be noted that the events men-
toned in the above dispatch were OF a
later date than Wat upon which the
alleged firing took place, but no men,
ton 10 made OF 1t, although the order
for the seizure was given by Captain
Ludlow and presumably his vessel, the
Mohican, was in company with the
Rush.
Commodore Ramsey, acting secretary
Of the navy, believes that Captain Lud.
low would certainly not have failed to
mention so Important an event as the
disablement OF his ship II it were true.

A QUESTION OF FIGURES.
That and the Anti Scalper Bill the
Leading Features in
the House.
Broadwater County Made the
Special Order for To-Day
in the Senate.
In Joint Assembly Two Popnlists Got ISnck
to Dixon and g. ". Bray
Makes n Speech.

The house had q question OF arithmetic
presented to it yesterday on wLioh u great
many disagtee. 1t came up on a question
to make the registration aud ballot bills
the special order for this afternoon. At II
meant taking the bills out Of their regular
order 1t involved n suspension of the rules,
aecessitating a two-thirds vote. Tho ayes
nnd noes were not called for, the vote bein2
taken by division. The clerk counted
thirty-one in favor and fifteen against.
The speaker pro tenn at first ruled that the
motion was carried, but changed his de-
cision md said it was lost for lack of a
two-thirds vote. Right there was the
question OF arithmetic. Thirty-one was
looked upon by mnny az two-thirds of the
total vote of forty-six. They figured it out
on the decimal system. that one third Of
forty-six was fifteen and one-thirl, while
two-thirds of forty-s Six would naturally be
thirty and two-thirds. Allowing the "rake
of" to 90 with the greater fraction would
mako it thirty one, just the vote given for
the special order. 1he speaker pro tenn
and the chief clerk figured differently.
They reasoned that it was impossi-
BILE to divide even a member OF
the Legislature into thee pieces.
For that reason one-thirl OF
torty-six, they reasoned, must be some
thing over fifteen, and therefore must be
sixteen; and TINT two-thirds was just
double sixteen, or in other words thirty
two. Had the advocates of the special
order gotten but thirty votes to FIFTEEN
ngainst it, everybody admits that they
would have carried their point BY the neces-
sary two-thirGs. by q strange anomaly
the bills had just one friend too many.
The house got quite q number of senate
bills of it's calendar by acting on them in
committee of tho whole. Among those
o'dered reported fayerably was the much
talked of anti-scapler bill. The soldiers
homo bill was reported unfavorab.y. The
house refused to make n special order for
Sweet Grass county for the evening, but
consented to do so for Granite county.
which was taken up, amended by the com.
mittee of the whole and ordered favorably
reported. The general appropriation bill
YVES also amended in committee of the
whole and ordered favornbly reported.
The only incident in the joint assembly
outside of the fact that the populists from
Silver Bow got back to Dixon, was the
speech of Representative G. II. Bray. OF
Lewis and Clarke. He started out by de-
crying the long delay in electing a senate,
and led everybody to believe he was going
to do something to break tho deadlock
When he got tired of talking he did what
he had been doing right along; he voted fol
the republican caucus nominee. The OBJ
iect of his speech was not apparent to any
body, and as he offered no explanation, the
only inference was that it was n good
natured attempt to break the monotony but
not the deadlock.
