GLOVE FIGHTS DOOMED.
The Senate Passed the Assembly Bill


The Senate Passed the Assembly Bill
Promptly.
The Assembly Bill making prize fight
ing felony and describing these sort of
contests as being encounters with or
without gloves" caused quite debate in
the Senate yesterday while the Assembly
file was being considered.
Senator Goucher moved to strike out
the words with or" leaving the prohibi-
ton against bare-knuckle contests. He
made speech in favor of the amend
ment, saying that boxing with gloves
should be encouraged. 1t was better
than learning young men to use fire.
arms. People who talked about fighting
with gloves, he said. should see foot
ball game. Every institution Of learning
in the country encouraged the sport and
permitted contests for prizes.
Maher opposed the amendment and
said the glove contests as conducted in
clubs nowadays were disgrace and
were only in the interest of the pool
sellers.
Campbell said the prize-fights to-day
were simply fakes, to take in the unso-
phisticated.
Wilson didn't like bruising and batter
ing, but thought boxing should not be
barred.
McGowan made long speech in favor
OF morality and against prize-fghting.
Senator Wilson also spoke against the
amendment.
Mr.. Goucher spoke again in defense of
manly sports, and argued that boxing
was the least harmful of any of them.

Vain these necessary appropriations

ducing the expenditures in this manner.
however, and it is probable that the cal
culations ought to be based on the Con-
troller's estimates.
| Your committee is of the opinion that
it will be necessary to appropriate, in
round numbers, 100000 for new build
! ings. We have recommended an appro-
priation of $4,000 to pay outstanding
indebtedness, and of SOS, ,325 to nav Interest
on outstanding bonds held in trust for
the benefit of the State School and Uni
versity Funds. We have also recon-
mended sundry appropriations, aggrega-
ting in round numbers 100000 swelling
the grand total TO $lI ST., ,633. In making
the TAX levy, deficiency that now exists
i'll the general fund, and which amounts
IN round numbers to S250,0U0, must be
provided for. The tax levy must there
| fore De large enough to raise revenue of
Sll ,Sl2, ,633.
The following recapitulation will give
! definite IDEA OF the aggregate amount OF
the appropriations necessary, if the rec
concentrations of your committee are
adopted:

The assessable property of the State in
1892 amounted to $I,275, ,S16, ,22s. There is
a permanent tax of l per cent tor the sup
port of the University. A tax levy of 49
cents, after deducting the 81 per cent. for
delinquencies, etc, as provided by law,
will raise for two years 81 ,3l5,2 ,2l4 IA. 1t
will thus be seen that the amount of ap-
preparations recommended already eX-
ceeds the amount that can be raised by
50-cent tax levy by nearly $500, 900.
Your committee earnestly calls atten-
ton to the fact that, in order TO keep the
appropriations within the 50-cent limit,
1t will be necessary to cut down appro-
priations already recommended faVora-
bly,, by nearly $500, 900, and it will also be
necessary TO defeat all measures involv-

people have twice voted on the proposition
and carried II by a vote Of four to one The

HUNDREDS LOST THEIR LIVES.
Counting Up the Cost OF the Recon,
Gales Abroad.

LONDON, Nov 23-During the recent
gales that swept over the North and Baltic
seas l27 fishermen were drowned Off the
Peninsula of Jutland.
1t was thought that after the gales that
prevailed throughout Great Britain, Ireland
and northern and western Europe gem
orally at the end of last and the beginning
of this week moderate weather would be
enjoyed for some time. Dispatches from
Scotland, however. report that there has
been renewal of the gales on the west
coast. accompanied in many places by
heavy snowfall. The wind is blowing
furiously, and is drifting the snow badly.
The mail steamers plying between the
mainland and the outlying islands have
been delayed by the storm. Those run
ming to Portree, Island of Syke, and Storno-
way, Island of Lewis, have not yentured
out of those ports.
The storm extends a considerable distance
south of Scotland. very heavy high sea
Is running in the Irish sea and St. George
channel.
Advices from the east coast show that a
heavy storm is also raging there. Grave
fears are entertained for the safety of the
Hartlepool fishing fleet
1t has been computed that during the
recent storm the Yarmouth fishing industry
suffered damage to the extent of f1O0 600.
Questions were asked in the house of
commons today regarding the loss of life
during the recent gales. Mr.. Mundella.
president of the board of trade, replying
to the questions. said that along the British
and Irish coasts two hundred and thirty-
seven persons had been lost: The coast
guard life boats had saved five hundred
and five lives and the national life boat
institute claimed that its boats had saved
one hundred and two, making a total of
SIX hundred and seven lives saved from
wrecks and otherwise.
