ton to prize fights
The snare in question is the arranging
of a contest between two negro sluggers
to take place at the Opera House in a
few days. The men are to fight for a
purse OF $500, and have signed articles
OF agreement Identical with those
signed by Corbett and Mitchell The
purpose OF the club is to test the sin.
certify of Governor Mitchells opposition
to the Corhett- Mitchell mill, and also
to get decision from the courts as to
the law in relation to prize fgn.;ug in
this State.
II the governor and the authorities OF
Duval county allow the negroes to meet
and slug one another the club people
will say tina: the executive opposition to
the proposed Corbett- Mitchell fight Is
insincere and is dictated by other rea-
sons than desire to preserve the
peace and dignity OF the State"
The governor has written letter to
Sheriff Perry, OF st. Johns county, in
structiug him TO use all vigilance to pre-
vent the contest in that county. and
Perry has replied that it's his Intention
to uphold the law in every respect.
William A. Brady, Corbett's manager,
has expressed the opinion that the club
wall be entirely successful in their effort
70 bring the contest to an issue.
The Athletic Club late tonight fur.
nished to the public long statement,
embodying the objections which the
governor has raised to tho fight and his
refusal to refer the matter TO the
courts. They say that there is no con-
clusion to be arrived at other than that
Governor Mitchell is afraid 20 submit
the case to the courts, and they hereby,

ask the supreme court for decision in
this case
His whole attitude" they say mas

here we wish to say to the public in
most positive terms that, barring acct

contracted to do and no doubt will do,

THE DAY IN THE SENATE,
Hawaiian Matter Goes Over and Federal
Election Bill Debated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Afier the
routine business Of the opening OF the
session OF tho Senate the resolution
offered yesterday by Chandler instruct
ing the judiciary committee to inquire
into tho authority for tho appointing t
Of Blouut as commissioner TO Hawaii.
without the advice and consent Of the
Senate, was laid before the Senate.
Vest moved to lay the resolution on
the liable, stating that the whole IN a tier
touching affairs in Hawaii was now
undergoing investigation by the com.
mittee on foreign relations.
Sherman took the same view of the
question and suggested that it would be
disrespectful to the committee on for
eign relations to have another commit
tee instructed to inquire into tho same
matt +. In view of these considerations
Chandler withdrew his resolution.
Gray gave notice that he would at 9
p m. ask the Senate to proceed to the
consideration OF the House bill repeal
ing the Federal election laws Chandler
remarked that no Senator on the Re.
publican side was prepared to speak to-
day and asked Gray to let tho bill go
over until Monday.
Gray did not feel justified in acced-
ing to that request, but said that he had
no Intention to press the bill un6uly to
final conclusion. Several bills on the
calendar of no general interest we're
passed, and then at 100 tho Senate
went into secret session.
The doors were reopened at eco, and
the Senate, on motion OF Gray. pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the
House bill to repeal tho Federal cleo
tion laws. Chandler said that some
Senators on his side of the chamber
desired to speak on the bill, but tina t
mono of them would probably be read Y
be ready to do so before next week.
lie therefore suggested to Gray that
the bill should go over till Monday and
then be taken up as tho Diminished
business" This was agreed to after a
colloquy between Gray and Chandler.
The further consideration of the bill
was thereupon postponed till Monday
next, when 1T is to be and TO remain
(unless displaced by some othor
measure) the unfinished business, "
and the Senate at 2:35 adjourned till to-
morrow

AFTER THE FIRE.
A Sorry Sight Presented at the Worlds
Fair Grounds.

Fair Grounds
CHICAGO, Jan. 9-Last nights fire in
the Worlds Fair grounds produced
greater changes in the appearance of
Chicago's famous pleasure park than it
was expected would be made BY six
months removing OF the buildings The
casino and perystle were wholly de-
stroyed. Columbus and his heralds with
their war horses and chariot are an un-
recognizable mass of ruins. Music hall
likewise is heap OF ashes.
The manufacturers building, both
within and without, presents a sight
not desired either by artist or exhibi-
tor. The lattice work between the top
roof and curved one, covering the cen
trail aisle on east side was burned away
from point above the southern end OF
the United States section. South to
one above the Russian, upon tin and
glass arched roof, lie half burned boards,
with part of lattice, and which, when
loosened by the fire, slid downward.
Inside of the building the Appearances
were worse than upon the roof Within
the region burned over and for some
distance on the other side the floor is
covered with water, some places two
inches in depth, and strewn with in
Vulnerable boxes, containing precious
wares baled for reshipment
A rough estimate places the loss on
buildings at about $4,000 No esti-
mate of loss on exhibits can be given
until the cases containing stored goods
are examined.
