Prize1ghting and the Like.
At Wednesdays session of the wom-
ems congress two Of the fair delegates
read papers ON sporting subjects. Mrs.
Ida Tins Klocker's was ON woman as
Race Reporter" Mrs. Klocker lives
in Independence, Ia, and has reported
every race that has taken place on its
kite shaped track since it was finished i'll
1889. She is q recognized authority ON
trotting and pacing questions. "Wom-
an as an Authority ON Trotting" was the
second paper 1t was written by Miss
Cornelia T. Crosby of Maine, whose nom
dc plume, Flyrod, is well known in pis-
catorial circles.
Mrs. Annie Avery of Bay st. Louis,
another sporting writer, is an estimable
lady of culture and refinement who was
post1nistress of Bay st. Louis during
Cleveland'B first administration and may
be again. Thrown on her own resources
for livelihood she corresponded for
the New Orleans Picayune and other
southern papers for some time, and she
has always been an alert and capable
newsgatherer. When Bay st. Louis be-
came the favorite training ground of
fighters like Bob Fitzsimmons, Jimmy
Carroll, Jack McAuliffe and Jack Scully,
this lady reluctantly began chronicling
their doings for her papers.
It is greatly to the credit of the fight
ers that one and all of them have ever
treated her with the greatest respect.
Little by little she became interested in
their work, and today she can write a
pugilistic story that any male scribe in
tho business need not be ashamed to
father. Mrs. Avery, however, has new
er reported genuine contest. She did
intend to witness the HALL itzsirnmons
contest from a latticed box, but declined
at the last moment She was right on
the result, however, and as she had her
salary staked on Lucky Bob" she drew
consolation from her winnings.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Tompkins of The
Advertiser is lady who is well posted
on the thoroughbred horse, and had she
been at the congress she would have en-
tertained and edited its members and
those of the laymen who were present
with her knowledge of the noble equine
of rapid propensities.
The late MILDLY Morgan was thor
oughly well informed woman, not only
in racing matters, but cattle as well.
Though quaint in expression and care
less in her dress, she had the respect and
good will of all the men whom she en-
countered in her daily business life

was poisoned, and still say that it is not

This throws the idea of poison out Of the
case and leaves the impression that death
was caused by something of which the
doctor is fully aware.

Stephan OF the state penitentiary has
served notice on the governor that he will
not be dictated to. Last Sunday the chap
lain issued an order that hereafter none
but Lutheran and Catholics should teach
in the prison Sunday schools. This order
caused much dissatisfaction, as all the
Protestant churches in the city have been
represented In the Sunday school.
When Governor Altgeld heard of the ac-
tion of the chaplain he promptly issued q
proclamation declaring that all religious
denominations should be allowed equal
rights in the state institutions. But Chap
lain Stephan firmly refuses to pay any at
tention to the governors proclamation.
He says he is the head of the religious de-
partment Of the penitentiary and he pro-
poses to run it.
According to the order issued by the
chaplain last Sunday, the present teachers
of the Sunday school, representing all the
Protestant churches in the city, are shut

found the

the hope to cover up the miscount, was
startling to the honest men of both parties

are two sets and which agree, were
gone over carefully, with the result of find.
ing 70 less names checked than there were
votes returned by the warden. The re-
turns from Ward showed there were only
12 blank ballots, but it now appears that
the warden did not burn the Democratic
votes, but only the Republican ballots.
However among the Democratic ballots
there have now been found no less than-9e
blanks. In various other particulars there
are discrepancies
An adjourned hearing was held before
Judge Walton ON petition for manda,
mus. Mr.. Strout, Democratic counsel,
said that he had supposed Wednesday that
the blank ballots were not counted in
Ward g. He had learned upon consultation
that
They Were Counted;
hence he was forced to admit that the Re
publican candidates were elected, and on
the spot he rendered to the Republican
counsel certificates of election for the two
Republican councilmen who were the
petitioners in the case.
This ended the proceedings, there be-
ing no longer any necessity for manda-
mus. Now, in the city council on joint
ballot, the Republicans have 10 out Of %,
and will elect all subordinate city officers.
BY the provisions of the city charter, Mr..
Ingraham, the Democratic candidate, hav.
ing refused to accept the Office of mayor
under this election, the aldermen will is

HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Little Probability Of the Present Senate
Acting Upon 1t.

Acting Upon 1t.
WASHINGTON, March IL. - The inter
view between Secretary Gresham and
Messrs. Thurston and Castle Of the
Hawaiian annexation commissioners at
the state department yesterday was brief,
lasting only five or 10 minutes. The secre-
tary told the commissioners the treaty had
been withdrawn for consideration. The
impression prevails in official circles that
the treaty will not find its way to the sem
ate again during the extra session.
A Republican senator said today that he
had received an intimation that the presi-
dent was desirous of mortifying the treaty
and it would ultimately be returned to the
senate. The senator thought the president
might so frame the treaty that annexation
would depend upon the will of the Ha-
waiians as expressed by plebiscitum.
Should the majority reject annexation
then a protectorate might be established.
