In the interests of sport in the state

decline ever since the Hali-titZs!m-
mons tiasco. certain liberal-minded and
progressive members of the legislature
are contemplating the introduction OF
bill legaiizing boxing contests.
In order to be able to speak intelli-
gently on the subject, these members
will call Champion 0f-the-World James
j. Corbett to their aid and ascertain his
views and ask his opinion as to how
glove contests can be SO cond ucted as to
furnish good sport and at the same time
without injury 10 the participants III the

q scientific glove contest is devoid OF
brutality and that the theory that box

long since been exploded.

Mr.. Corbctt is heartily in sympathy
with such law being passed, for he
recognizes how much interest is taken

labor committee has agreed to report
favorably to the house the labor arbitra-

RIGHT OF WAY FOR REILLY.
Bill for Funding Pacific Railway

Debts Called Up in House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-The house
today entered upon the consideration
of the bill to fund the debt due the gov
eminent from the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific railroads with per cent
fiftv-year bonds A special order WAS
brought in, giving today and tomorrow
for debate, but the opposition to it was
so intense and determined that a COM
promise was forced by which the
time for debate was extended one
day. Mr.. Reilly, the chairman
of the Pacific railroad committee.
consumed most of the remainder of the
day with the opening argument in
favor of the measure, which included
detailed history of the roads and their
Indebtedness, an explanation of the
bill, and the advantages which would
accrue to the government in the event
of its passing. Mr.. Harris. of Kansas,
made the only other speech of the day.
He was bitterly opposed to the bill,
claiming it would allow the "Scoun-
drels" who had Dlundered the road,
who had debauched public morals and
public men. to keep their ill-gotten
gains. He preferred to see the govern
meHt take charge of the roads rather
than this should happen. The house
then adjourned until IL o'clock tomor
row.

thusiastic crowd of spectators last even

one could tell which way he was going
As consequence, Mr.. Bryant issued a
sweeping challenge to all the contest
ants. which was immediately accepted,
