SueciaI TO the REcoRD-UNIoN.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 16.-The great
strike and attempted tie-up of the South
ern Pacific system by the American Rail-
way Union has proved failure. All the
lines south of Tehachapi are in full oper-
alton, without obstruction or menace; all
the coast division, San Luis Obispo, Santa
Cruz, Monterey. Tres Pinos and Hollis
ter, are in full operation. There is no OBJ
struction or disturbance in Arizona, New
Mexico or Texas. The entire system III
Oregon has been in full operation for a
week. No resistance is offered anywhere
save at Oakland and Sacramento. The
only trouble, therefore, is confined to
those two cities, which have shared be-
tween them all the benefits of the manu-
featuring interests of the company, Sac
ramento having been the chief bene-
6ciary. But the road is now practically
in full operation and the tie-up is failure.

A HOT FIGHT.
Peter Maher Defeats Frank Craig at
Boston.

BosToN, July 16.-At Music Hall to-
night, after two rounds of as hot fighting
as has been witnessed this season, Peter
Maher stood waving his arms over the
PROSTATE form of Frank Craig, the colored
wonder of New York, whom he had
knocked out by a chance right-hander.
1t took but five minutes to settle the
darky's championship aspirations, but
early in the battle in looked like walk
over for Eim to win.
In the second round Maher sailed into
the negro, and for the first five minutes it
was give and take, with honors easy
Then the battle increased to the Cau-
casian, and he followed Craig all over the
ring, and finally caught him stiff upper
cut full in the tace. Before the darky
could get his guard into place Maher
caught him light one with the left again.
Then Maher shot out his right, and Craig
fell to the floor with bang that could be
heard all over the hall. There he lay un-
til the timekeeper notified the referee that
the time was up, and the negro's seconds
lifted him to his feet. He was then un-
conscious, but few minutes careful
handling brought him around again.

The Wrong Conscience.

The Boston Transcript says that few
days ago, while a gentleman was buying
stamps in the postoffice, some one took
his umbrella, as he believes, by mistake,
ing paper: '.Fhe kind friend who carried
Oft my umbrella at the postofiiee yester-
day will bear in mind that the Gates Of
Heaven are only twenty-four inches
wide. My umbrella measures twenty
eight. At the other place he won't need
it. Didn't Dives pray for just one drop
of water? He had better return it to No.
20S, Chamber of Commerce, and no ques-
tions will be asked" a few days later
a boy brought in an umbrella, but, alas!
not the advertisers. He had caught the
wrong mans conscience.

HOUSE HAS A LIVELY DISCUSSION.
But Adopts the Income Tax Appropriation
Currency Scheme Talk.

But Adopts the Income Tax Appropriation
Currency Scheme Talk.
The house entered upon the considera-
ton of the urgency deficiency appropria-
ton bill. The bill contained two dis
puted items, the appropriation for special
pension examiners and the appropriation
for the collection of the income tax The
former appropriation opened the doors for
a debate on the conduct of the pension
office, especially the practice of summarily
suspending the payment of alleged fraud
ulent pensions and the debate on the in
come tax appropriation was especially
lively, but the motion to strike it out was
defeated in committee by vote of "a to
12a. 1t is probable that a record making
vote will be demanded in the house TODAY.
An incident of the debate on the pension
examiners was when General Sickles got
up, and amid a roar of Republican ap-
plause repudiated the charge of wholesale
fraud made against pensioners, and de-
clareG his unalterable opposition to the
appropriation unless it could be authori-
tatively shown that the pension examiners
provided for by it We're employed in aid
ing, instead of embarrassing deserving
claimants.
The proceedings before the banking
and currency committee were noted by
a letter from Lyman J. Gage, the banker
OF Chicago, whose opinions are summar-
lied in the following extract: Agreeing
