BosToN. April 23.-Never In the history
of the local prize ring has such an assem-
blage gathered together as that which
crowded the Casino tonight.
The occasion was the battle between
Young Critic. the Australian featherweigh hit
champion, and John T. Griffin of Brock

From the third to the last round honors

THE PLUMs DON'T FALL.
Anxious Patriots Who Have Not Been
Rewarded.


WASHINGTON. April 23.-Candidates Tor
Federal appointments in California are
ge ting tired of waiting for the blums to
drop. 1t was thought that President
Cleveland would send in names for
United States Marshal and District Attor-
ney Immediately after his return from his
last hunting expedition, but weeks have
gone by without any indication from the
White House as to when the appointments
may be expected.
The Sacramento postoffice is another
firsi-class Office for which there are several
aspirants who are on the anxious bench.
Barry Baldwin would certainly get the
marshalship If it were not for Justice
Fields active and steadfast support OF
Franks for the place. 1t seems Impossible
for the Justice to keep out OF politics.
Only short time ago he took every occa-
sion to criticize Pres dent Cleveland, but at
present he seems to be the friend OF the
administration, and although the entire
California Democratic delegation in Con-
gress has recommended Baldwin, Justice
Field has succeeded in influencing Attor-
ney-General Olney in favor of FRANKS.
No one seems to know just what will be
done, although in conversation WIN

ney. General has not yet recommended any

No Bookmaking to Be Allowed at
the Washington Races.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The House de-
voted the entire day to business from the
Committee on the District of Columbia.
Two bills of m ore or less Importance were
acted upon. The first. which was passed.
was bill extending the time allowed the
Metro politan-street Railway Company of
this city to change its motive power. AS
passed. the company must within eighteen
months put in an underground electric
system or forfeit its charter. The restrie-
tion to the underground electric was placed
in the bill upon the representation that
the General Electric. Westinghouse and
other companies interested in the over
head trolley lines would not permit sue
cessful demonstration of the practicability
of an underground electric system in other
cities.
The other bill was one to permit book
making at the regular spring meeting of

District Of Columbia. When the vote was

Why Sir Edward Blount Was Forced
to Resign,

PARIS, April 23.-The English colony In
PARIS is excited over the actor of the Coy
eminent in forcing Sir Edward Blount,
who for thirty years had been chairman
of the West Railway. to resign. The
ground taken by the Government was that
Chairman Blount, by virtue of his posi-
ton at the head of great railway, had
access to the plans of the Government in
the matter of modifying troops. The Gov
eminent did not believe foreigner should
hold a position in France enabling him 10

nier Casimir-Perier threatened that unless

COMMITTEEMAN UNFRIENDLY
The AIl-Powerful Influence of the
Railroad Still Exerted Against
the Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Representa-
tive Bowers said to THE CALL CORE
spondent to-day that although majority
of the House Committee on Judiciary had
reported favoraby on his resolution re-
curing the United States Attorney-Gen
eral to defend the settlers on public lands
in Southern California against the suits
for ejectment brought by the Southern
Pacific Railway Company, it was yet a
matter of doubt whether the resolution
could be passed through the House. The
minority of the judiciary Committee has
not yet presented its report on this resolu-
ton and Mr.. Bowers thinks that it will
not make minority report as Intended.
Bowers says he has no doubt that his
resolution will be adopted by the House
if 1t can ever be brought before that body.
but the trouble is that it will have to be
called up by unanimous consent, unless
the Judiciary Committee gets day SCI for
eonsidera ton of its bills and will agree
that Bowers resolution will be Included
The chairman of the mittee (Culberson
of Texas promised Bowers that when his

The Texas Pacific, part of the South
ern Pacific system, influences him indi-
rectly, and if the success of Bowers
resolution depends upon the Texan it will
never see the light of day. Unanimous
consent cannot be obtained for the same
reason. There are other railroad sympa-
thizers in the House, too, besides CuIber-
son, and an objection from any one Of
them would be effective.
Bowers is persistent and indefatiga bic,
however, and will get the resolution
through if any Congressman can. He
says he intends 10 introduce bill provid-
ing that there shall be posted in every
United States land Office in a conspicuous
place a placard giving notice to intending
purchasers of Government land that the
United States Government is not prepared
to give title which it will defend.
