THEIR FIGHT WAS A DRAW
Bateman and Kelly Spar Four Rounds
Without Decision.
OTHER BOUTS WELL CONTESTED
Lack of Money Prevented Finish Fight IN
the Star Event of the Night-Billy Nally
Proved Winner in His Bout with Moore
Other Pugilistic Events.

The Country Athletic Club gave an interest
ing sparring entertainment last evening at
the club headquarter, which was attended
by several hundred Washington sports.
There was a great deal of disappointment,
owing 10 the failure of decision in the Bate
man-Kelly fight, which was the feature OF
the programme. 1t seems a certain amount
was guaranteed the fighters, but it was not
forthcoming, and. after desperate efforts to
make up the required sum. compromise
was effected, and the men agreed to spar
four rounds.
This was satisfactory. and rs pretty 4 fight
as has been seen in the District was the out
come.
Both the principals showed science and
gameness. and kept the spectators il fever
OF excitement Tor the four rounds. Kelly ap-
peared somewhat the heavier. but Ba;eman
held his end up in great shape. The referee
was Il wcll-known local sporting man. aud
his decision Of u draw was correct, although
the spectators wanted 4 settlement OF the re-
spoctive abilities Of the men.
The managers o. the club are very much TO
blame for advertising certain purses and not
making them good. The arena was we'll
and the failure 10 bring of the main bout of
the evening to t; finish was decidedly unsatis-
factory.
The best scrap OF the evening was that be-
tween Billy Naliy. OF Washington, and Fred
Moore. OF Wilmington. The latter was the
pick OF the talent. and for a short time had
the best of the fight. but the local man proved
TO be game to the core. and after being twice
knocked down. rallied aud fought his man
with such good effect that the Wilmington
slugger was put out in the second round.
Nally was knocked down three times. but
never lost his nerve.
Dick Haley. white aspirant for pucil!siic
honors, tried To make fight against Nouug
Brown, dusky scrapper, but the latter got
the decision after four rounds Of pretty stif
fighting without much science. jersey Jones
stacked up against Banks, and the latter
proved himself the better man, winning il
the first round
After the fights the announcement was made
that an unknown was ready to meet jack

PETER ENDS HIS SPEECH.
Lot of Trouble Caused by an Error Made
by Senator Quay.

Lot of Trouble Caused by an Error Made
by senator Quay.
When Mr. PETER began the second install
ment of his speech yesterday there was u fair
Attendance of Senators OF both sides OF the
chamber. but they gradually Welted away,
and at one time there was only one Democrat.
one Republican. and one Populist visible on
the floor. During the speech OF Mr. Pefler
Mr.. Quay made the point of no quorum, when
Mr.. Harris remarked that he regarded that
suggestion as Il violation of the agreement
reached Wednesday. that the tariff bill should
be considered between l aud 3 clock each
day without any diatory motions.
Mr.. Henderson agreed with Mr.. Harris in
MS understanding Of the agreement. but re-
marked that one Senator from the majority
ard three from the minority. as had occurred
during the day. coald hardly be called the
Senate Of the United States
Mr.. Quay explained that he did not under
stand that there had been any agreement and
asked leave to withdraw his suggestion, but
the ball had b0en started rolling and could
not DO SO oasiiy checked.
Mr Wolcott said he did not understand
that an agreement between Senators Harris
and Aldricb bound the rest OF the senate, and
he for one should not hesitate to move IN ad-
a quorum.
Senators Nnnder5on and Harris explained
that according 70 the universal custom of the
Senate an agreement made by unanimous
consent bound all Senators, whether or not
thoy were present when the agreement was
reached, so Mr.. Wolcott subscribed to this
traditional doctrine.
Senator Dolph made the point Of order that
the question Of quorum having been raised
could not be withdrawn, and the presiding
officer Mr.. Allen. of Nebraska) sustained the
point in spite of the protests of Mr.. Quay.
who apologized for unintentionally violating
the agreement
Enough Senators came in during the roll
call TO make a quorum. but before Mr.. PETER
was allowed to resume his speech an attempt
was made to insert some extraneous matters,
which Mr.. Harris objected TO.
'Wjll the Senator allow me to present
petition?" asked Mr.. Chandler.
Il will not" said Mr.. Harris decidedly.
Il am very sorry" replied Mr.. Chandler.
''for had none to present" Whereat there
was laugh at the expense OF Mr.. Harris, in
which the Senator from Tennessee himself
Joined.
Mr.. PETER then resumed his speech, in the
course OF which he said that the bill discrim-
mated against the farmer and that the only
thing the agricultural classes asked was that
they should receive protection as the manu-
facturers did.
He S lid it was out OF order to call the Will
son bill tariff reform measure, and he criti-
cised free wool. claiming that the farmer was
not benefited, nor was any one else. The
pending bill was not bill for protection nor
for revenue. and the Democracy could tako
no pride in its passage.

The prospects are not bright according to opin-
ions of prominent Democrats in the House that
n voting quorum will be secured to-day to vacate
the order to arrest absentees. According to one
of the leaders who was questioned it may be
necessary in order TO secure quorum to vacate
this order to renew the order itself.

VIII Comply with American Ideas as to
Boring Sea Award.

VIII Comply with American Ideas as to
Boring Sea Award.
An interview with Sir Charles Russell pub
lished yesterday on the proposed British legis-
lation to give effect to the Bering sea award
awakens interest among members OF the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the House. Mr.
McCreary, chairman of the committee. thinks
it indicates disposition on the part OF
Great Britain to comply with the ideas of
the United States as to what is necessary to
give effect to the award. He looks upon Sir
Charles Russells Interpretation of clause Z.
bearing on the liability of sealers not notified
before sailing. as a decided modification of
the scope of that clause first telegraphed to
this country.
1T will be seen," said Mr.. McCreary, "fhat
Sir Charles expresses the opinion that there
is a small number of sealers, if any. which
have not had notice of the provisions of the
award. Notice OF the provisions of the award
is a very different thing from notice of the
law-giving effect Of the award as the first re-
ports seemed to indicate was required by
clause T."
Mr.. McCreary was unwilling to say that
even under this Interpretation the proposed
law would be satisfactory to this government,
but he considered that it indicated dispo-
sition to come to this governments view.

The True Bohemian.

A Bohemian may be defined as the only
kind of gentleman permanently in temporary
difficulties who is neither a sponge nor a
cheat. He is type that has existed in all
ages and always will exist. He is a man
who lacks certain elements necessary to
success in this world, and who manages to
keep fairly even with the world by dint OF
ingenious shift and e1pedient; never fully
succeeding, never wholly failing. He is a
man, in fact, who can't swim, but can tread
water. But he never, never, never calls him
self Bohemian-at least, in a somewhat
wide experience, have known only two that
ever did, and one of these was 4
baronet. As rule, II you overhear a
man approach his acquaintance with the for
mula. "As one Bohemian to another" you
may make up your mind that that man means
an assault upon the other mans pocketbook,
and that if the assault is successful the dam
ages will never be repaired. That man is not
Bohemian; he is a beat. Your true Bohe-
milan always calls himself by some euphemis-
tic name. He is always gentleman at odds
with fortune. who rolled in wealth yesterday
and will tomorrow, but who at present is will
ing to do any work that he is sure will make
him immortal, and that he thinks may get
him the price of supper. And very often he
lends more largely than he borrows.-H. G.
Bunner, in the April Scribner.

SOME ETHICS OF FLIRTING.
English Journals Discuss . Much.mooted

The recent newspaper inquiry. SIS flirting
on the incresse?' has evoked an admirable
article from the Spectator. That so philo-
j, sophie and austsrs journal should stoop to
such subject seems q little strange. One
can hardly imagine the Spectator toying with
Amaryllis in the shade, and far less in
this public manner; but it has had, it seems,
its strange experiences in this matter, like the
rest Of US. II it possessed the courage Of its
opinions, one fancies it would 20 a little fur

is mainly a matter for the consideration of
the fair SEX for as for men. they get no Sc

upon a woman to please the many before she

true chivslry, but As good sense For whut
has the disappointed suiior lost? Nay. is he
not rather the gainer by such favor Us she
showed him?''
There is, indeed. one exception to this
liberty; she should not endeavor to win the
affections OF one wEo i. auothers aduirer.
She who does this is bad lot, and generally
and deservsdly goes TO the bad. OF course
there are selfish and egotstic men who. being
unsuccessful il their suits. are determined
that no other shall be more fortunate. and
shoot down his bride at the very altar; but to
call these miscreants lovers except OF them

such mischief among the other sex: mothers.

are always in danger from these un-

fact is that Al twcnty-.eyen none OF
