The announcement that there

Hurley and Henderson drew n large
crowd to the Manhattan club rooms
last night. After several prelimi-
nary bouts, the event of the evening
was announced. The participants
were introduced, and one very scien-
tific round was fought. just as the
men were about to resume the sec
ond round, Henderson turned to Pad
dy Brennan. one of his seconds, and

ICE PROSPECTS.
From Indications There VIII he Little OF It
This Winter.

ThiS Winter.
The ..poOr mans" winter that we
have Lad will be far from making q
poor mans summer. The prospects
for putting up ice arc rather slim,
but if we had one good cold night.
icemen would be happy. as would
the public generally. Henry Ehr-
horn. Of the Twin-City Ice company,
was seen by a representative of THE
ARGUS last evening. and in answer
to question regarding the pros
poets for ice this season. said: We'll,
from present indications we will have
no ice harvest this year, but we are
all ready for it. We have between
5000 and 5000 tons of ice from
last year, and that will run us
through the summer nicely"
But in former years when the
winter remained upen until January,
was any ice cut?" was asked him.
mot as a general rule. When the
winter has been soft until January
no ice has been cut. We have our
ice fields all staked out in the Moline
water power pool. and the ice is
about nine inches thick, but it is soft
and what is called honey-combed. If
we had but one cold night, all would
be well. The ice would he what we
call stiff enough, and we would be-
gin to cut it. We have four large
houses at WATERFOWL, whose capacity
is $4,000 tons. and we have fields
marked out there"
When asked regarding ice at St.
Louis, he said: They have had no
ice at st. Louis yet; neither have
they bad any at Peoria nor Boards
town."
| Past Experience.
"During your experience in the
ice business have you seen the ice
harvest as poor rs this winter"
.sOh, yes. I have seen several
winters when we had soft ice in De-
ccmber, aud seldom did it freeze
hard enough to be cut after that
Taken on the whole the prospects
for ice are exceedingly poor. and il
will cost, no doubt, five or ten cents
to draw q cool breath the coming
summer. There will be no free ice
water tanks standing outside. and
there is liable to be any amount Of
soured cream. etc.
The several other ice companie.
have marked out their fields, and
only wait in anticipation of . frosty
night. Will we have it.?

 "On Saturday last We received a letter from our son Paul, who has been working in your office for some months past, informing us that be had joined the industrial army un- der Gen.

He has always been fond of ad- venture and his trip to the Pacific coast was a daring piece of work, but we did not think he would toe led into anything so foolish as this It would be amusing were there not such a serious side to it. We saw by the papers that the army had failed to materialiZe, and my object in troubling you is to ask you if you know anything about Paul 2"

Tho San Diego land PhsnI..

It is understood that eighteen teams and a sufficient number of men are engaged in the work of grading the San Diego and Pheuix road, and that five miles of the road have been graded, and the sixth has been entered upon. The grad CTS are now beyond Daneri's, on a side hill three miles long. which will carry tho road from the valley up to the level of the Otay Mesa. The three miles will be hard and slow work, but when the mesa top is reached, it will be again easy grading for a distance of several miles. The young Napoleon of rail road builders, W. H. Carlson, presi- dent of the San Diego aud Pheuix Company, has issued periodical ap- peals to the people of Sau Diego to contribute their dollars towards furthering the enterprise, which, thus far, has Jagged much on account of insuiiiciency of funds. The latest one, dated the 23d inst, reads as follows:
 We are desirOus of pushing the building of our railroad Co a point which will enable us to secnre money on ou bonds for its further exten- sion. To do so We must have the money Co pay men and teams. Hay- ing no debts, we believe in keeping out of debt, and in doin construc- ton work hereafter, we want to have the money to pay all labor and material when due The work should now be pushed with increased vigor. To do so. and not run ,n debt, will require not only the moral, but financial support of all beueftted by the building of this road which means not few, but all of the people of San Diego. To carry out this plan of pushing tho building of the San Diego and PheniG Railroad from now on, we seeh subscribers and the public to hereafter pay at least Sl per moath, for which one share of paid-up and special stock will toe given as each Sl is paid. Now is the time to rush the good work According to the help we receive, we will push the work. but to do go we cannot be expected, and have decided. not Go run m debt "-L. A. Times

Two Tax suits.

Two injunction suits have been filed in the district court, involving points of law in regard to taxation. One is by the Prescott National bank, which asks for an order restraining the county treasurer from collecting taxes on it's shares of stock. \ sim liar suit, in Phenix, recently was decided in the district court in favor of the bank, and will no doubt be carried to the supreme court for a decision in that tribunal.
 The other suit was instituted by the United Verde Copper Company and asks for a restraining order against the county treasurer to pre- vent the collection of taxes of ore on the dump.

wAITE'S WAR.
Coiorado's PoPuIist Governor Threat
 ems Another Outbreak

DENVER, Mar. 30.-The controversy between the old and new police boards Is again in the supreme court. To-day Judge Glinn not fed Judge Allen, a coordinate ju5 ge, that he had dissolved the latter's injunction restraiaing the new board from interfering with the action of the old members. NJ. F. Tayior, attorney of the old board, immedi- ately obtained from the court writ of prohibition restraining Gliun from taking any further action in the matter whatever. This writ makes the Glnn injunction against the old board imperative and also makes hls action in dlsmisslng Judge Aliens injunction invalid. The latter injunction is still in force and had Judge Glinn punished any violation of his injunction, as was expected, such action would have been made void by the writ of pro- hibition.
 The writ wIll remain in force un- til argument Is heard, and even this AA1N AAANt lN kR At EAi Ait HlA 1Als Any move against the writ will have to come from Judge Gliun. He will probably ask to have it dis 5 lved and a day will be set for argument It Is said however, that he may ignore it, and should h. do s0 the worst sort of a legal com pli- cation would be established. The writ of prohibition was obtained m the nick of time, as the adherents of the new board were preparing to storm police headquarters, ana if | they had done so there would su rely have been bloodshed.

Speaking of railroad rates, the
 Los Angeles Times says: The cut rates which have been in force since
 the lst inst, will be ava lable some time longer, though nobody knows
 how long. For the information of
 the public, it can, however, be posi-
 lively stated that the rates cannot
 go up before April or 6, no matter
 how anxious the roads should be- come to restore them. The agents of both the Santa Fe and Southern
 Pacific lines were yesterday notified to cancel the original ten days
 notice of a restoration of rates, to be effective April l, and continue to quote the present rates until further notice.

The Cosmopolitan announces a
 story in its April number which was
 written by Napoleon Bonaparte. It claims that the manuscript had sur
 vived the vicissitudes of war and exile. Had remained locked up for a hundred years and is now about to be brought to light in America.
 It appears from the researches m ide
 by the French Napoleonic scholar
 Frederic Mason, who vouches foi the fact over lis own signature. that Napoleon, when young lieu tenant, wrote a Corsican story. The manuscript he con6ded to his uncle, Cardinal Fesch, then Archbishop of Lyons. When Cardinal Fesch died in 1889, his papers were intrusted to his Grand Vicar, Abbe Lyonnet. Napoleon's manuscript was sold by the abbe to Libri, a member of the Academy and inspector of French libraries. Libri sold this and some other manuscripts to Lord Ashburn- ham for S40,0OO, and from 1S42 to q recent date Napoleon's manuscripts slumbered in Ashburnham Castle. The Cosmopolitan maintains staff editors iD both London and Paris, men of wide acquire rents. who spend their time in searching ex- for what is likely to be of great value to the readers of this magazine. To the Paris editor be- longs the honor of securing for an periodical the interesting manuscript from the pen of the worlds greatest personality.
