Scoop on the United Press.
NEW YORK Oct. lon Thursday,
September 49, the Associated Press
furnished in time for its afternoon
papers the fact that the Spanish cruiser
Balcastegui had been sunk by collision
In Cuban waters. The details were also
given. Thirty-one persons were
drowned, and among them notable
officials OF this news tho United Press
papers had nothing, save that which in
their later editions some were bold
enough to appropriate" Their source
OF supply was ignorant of the fact and
details.
To day, again the far reaching and
steadily reliable news resources OF the
Associated Press were demonstrated.
Its afternoon papers were supplied again
with exclusive news Of tho Loss of an
other Spanish vessel, this time the we'll
known warship Cristobal Colon.
The Associated Press supplied it's
papers to-day with three.fonrths of
column OF the details, while those papers
that are being served by the United
Press went to press with their last
editions bare CT any mention OF the loss
OF this second Spanish wsrship. The
fact is again sharply confirmed that the
men and the news resources of the As
ISOLATED Press may be relied upon for
the prompt service of the news at home
and abroad

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. lin com
pliance with the proclamation of Gov
ernor Culberson, converting the legisla-
ture in this city on October I, to take
action on the proposed Corbest-Fitz :
simmons prize fight at Dallas, October
81, quorum Of both houses responded
to roli-call too day at high noon, and
were in working shape within thirty
| minutes. and at 1880 o'clock promptly
received message from Governor Gull
berson, who confined himself solely to
tbs prizo fight
As soon Is the message Was read, in
compliance with it's command, two bills
were introduced in both houses. The
house bill defines prize fighting and de-
clares 1t felony punishable by impris-
onment OF not less than one, nor more
than two years. 1t, of course, has the
emergency clause. The senate bill pro-
vides penalty of not less than five, nor
more than ten years and further pro-
vides that any one who in any manner
aids or ebets fight will be considered
participant and subiec. to the above
named punishment. The emergency
clause ie also in this bill.
The bills were referred to the iu-
dietary committee for action, but the
Dallas attorneys appeared before them
and asked for time to show that the
proposed law was unconstitutional and
class legislation, as we'll as confiscatory.
In pliance with this request both
bodies adjourned until to- 10 orrow, and
nothing further was done in the N natter.

Governor Culberson and his present op-
ponents, OF which he has quite q num-
Der In the legislature. There are ninety.
four members of the house present and

matter until more OF their men arrive.

to gather additional forces, 80 everybody
