This is the beginning of the congres

FOUGHT FOR A CLAIM.
Fierce Battle in the Ring Between Two
Oklahoma Contestants.

HENNESSEY, Feb 15-Perhaps the most
novel way of settling a dispute over a
claim in the history of the western land
contests, occurred in barn near here,
early yesterday mornicg. George William
of Missouri and Tony Angle of Wisconsin
have occupied the same claim for some
time, and like all contests, this has grown
to be a bitter one. In the face of long
wrangle in the land Office. Williamson
and Angle finally agreed to have a regular
priza fight, under London prize ring rules.
Both men went into training and when
Williamson came into the barn he weighed
17S and his adversary 1S2 pounds.
The men shook hands and went at
each other.
Round 1.-Angle started the fighting by
driving Williamson into the corner and
leading with his right, but the blow was
cleverely lodged, Williamson recovering
and catching Angle on the cheek Angle
countered with his right and struck his
opponent heavily above the eye. Sparring
followed and the round ended with hon
Ors easy.
Round Each man waited for the
other to begin and the ronnd was I'M
eventful.
Round 3.-Angle went at his mau like a
tiger, reaching his opponents left eye and
knocking him down. He lay for eight
seconds, but as he rose he punched Angle
in the mouth with his left aud with n
right hand swing on the bread basket. and
Angle split blood and was all but out
when the gong sounded. saos-.
Round 4.-Botn rushed to the ceuser of
the ring, and after hot exchange Will
hanson floored Angle with right square
in the face. Angle led with his left, reach
ing Williamson's eye. which was closed.
Williamson rallied with right hand
swing on che jaw knocking his man down
and out. He lay on the floor five minutes
before coming to- Both men were covered
with blood. After the men were washed
off Angle walked over to his opponent and
said: Williamson, you have bested me;
the claim is yours.

THE flOUR-RATE POOL.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 15-The
Northwestern Miller says:
Nv hile there may be no pool on Min.
neapolis flour. as has been reported, It is
limited that an arrangement is in effect be-
tween the different roads which serves the
same purpose. The various roads. the
trunk lines as we'll as the northwestern
roads are said to have come To an under
standing. and, in order to equslize the
traffic between themselves, and at the
same time MAINTAIN rates, have hit upou
plan something after this order:
Certain percentages of east-bound husi-
ness are recognized as belonging 10 the re-
spective lines, and when one ruus behind
its proportions it it is permitted to ease up
on rates, while the others rigidly exact the
tariff rates. After the road that was short
gets caught up it goes back to the tariff
rates, anu some other line that is behind
extends limited favors. This, it is clsimed.
furnishes an explanation Tor the peculiar
situation existing OF late, when first one
road would get much more than its pro
portion OF business; then another, aud so
on through the list. Shippers are losshe
10 oeileve the story, as they cannot con-
ce!ve that the different roads could agree
among themselves sufficiently TO make
such plan practicable"

Chairman Keene of the Jockey club said
Wednesday on race track reform:
''It will be necessary TO do a great deal
to win back public confidence in racing.
The greatest difficulty in the way is the
attitude OF the racing associations them
selves. They demand from the book
ers 500 day apiece. On q day when
there Is dig stake TO be decided there are
120 bookmakers in the ring. They pay
Sl2, 600 to the association. Their other
expenses increase this amount to 50 per
cent. Where does this money come from?
You place them in n position where they
have to make S12, 900 or SIG. 600 day and
you make rogues of then. Trainers and
jockeys are bought and racing is not racing
at all. This state of things can not last
forever. We have decided to be potential
in this matter and to try to cure the
trouble"

NEW YORK. Feb. l5.-This was a good day
on the Stock exchange for the bears. The
Sugar shares were traded in on a large scale.
The failure to hold the annual meeting yes
terday, on adjournment from last month,
and the statement of the counsel for the re-
fining company and a majority Of the real
stock holders that there would be none, was
taken advantage of by the short interests to
hammer the shares. The advices from
Washington were adverse to the Sugar inter-
eetaD So tt
In View of these conditions it was not un-
natural that Sugar should be sharply pressed
for sale. The selling movement began at the
opening of business, and large blocks were
thrown on a rapidly declining market. Some
liz, 900 shares were disposed of before noon
and a decline of 31s per cent established.
This serious break brought in some buyers
in the belief that the Insiders might endeavor
to overthrow The orders from Washington
to cover the sales made at higher figures yes
terday brought about a recovery OF rs per
cent, but later u per cent of the Improvement
was lost, and at the close the tendency was
still downward Sugar preferred recorded q
decline of 2H cents and closed at the lowest
point touched.
Mayor Hopkins veto of the Watson ordi-
nance and the Chicago common councils
purpose to override it, together with the de-
feat ofthe resolution to cancel the charter OF
the Gas trust, gave material strength to the
tone of Chicago Gas, whereupon purchases of
1900 shares were made and the stock moved
up "a per cent. The buying developed such
aready supply of stock for sale that the
traders grew suspicious and, taking the
other side of the market, put quotations
down l1a per cent within very few minutes.
Some buying caused a rally of fraction
which was subsequently, lost
The uncertainty as to the rate of dividend
to be declared at tomorrOw's meeting of the
directors gave an unsettled tone to the deal
ings in Burlington. The Coaler shares were
weak, owing to the failure of coal sale agents,
at today's meeting, to arrive at decision re-
garding prices, and Delaware and Western
broke 21s per cent. ane Delaware and Hudson

ern Union were the only stocks in which the
business transacted exceeded 5000 shares.
The general market at the opening was quite
firm and at the close was steady to firm,
Sugar being the only really heavy stock In
the closing dealings.
The total sales of stocks today were 22s, 800
shares, including: American Sugar, Isl, 900;

The TRANsMlssIsslPPI CONGRESS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 15.-The session OF
the Transmississippi congress today was
not quiet one. The committee on resolu-
tions was to make general report, but,
instead of doing SO, it presented the fol-
lowing resolutions:
"Whereas. The congress is representative
Of all political parties, and the discussion
of purely partisan subjects would tend to
weaken its unity and the influence of its
action, without serving any useful pur-
pose; therefore. be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
congress that it is inexpedient that formal
action be taken by this body upon any
purely partisan question"
The Introduction of this resolution
caused division in the convention. Some
members stated that il the congress de-
cided upon any questions which affected
their political party they would not abide
by the decision. Others expressed opposite
views. After a running debate of an hour
or two, the resolution was laid on the
table
At the afternoon session ST. Louis was
selected as the next place of mee ting,
Denver withdrawing before a ballot was
taken.
The report of the committee ON resolu-
tions was then read. The committee sub
mitted resolutions memorializing congress
for many river and harbor improvements
in the Pacific coast states, which were
adopted. Among the improvements
asked is the continuation OF the ship canal
at Seattle, connecting Puget sound and
Lake Washington, and tho construction
OF harbOrs for deep water vessels at San
Pedro and Port Hartford on the southern
California coast; also for adequate coast
defense on Puget Sound. Another resolu-
tion was adopted memorializing congress
for appropriations for the permanent and
complete improvement of the Mississippi
river from its source TO the jetties.
The most interesting debate of the ses.
sion then followed on the Nicaragua canal
question. The committee on resolutions
reported a memorial asking the prompt
construction Of the Nicaragua canal, under
such conditions as are provided in the
Morgan bill, or under any other measure
that will insure the speedy completion of
the enterprise.
This resolution was the one favored by
Captain Merrick, a delegate. who is u
stockholder in the present canal company.
w, j. Thompson of San Francisco moved
that the clause referring to the Morgan
bill be stricken out, and the following iu-
serted:
'That such canal be constructed. owned
and operated by the United States with
out the Intervention Of any private cor
poration' ~
The convention was unable to reach an
agreement, and the matter was made u
special order for tomorrow.
When the convention reassembled this
evening report was received from the
special committee appointed to consider
the silver question. The committee re-
ported u resolution demanding the OPEN
ing of the United States mints to the coiu-
age Of silver, rs they are now open to gold,
at a ratio of 16 to l.
The reading of the resolution was the
signal for tremendous applause. After it
had been agreed that a vote shall be taken
on tue silver question. addresses on the
subject were made.
