j $&.-& Message. raH T.. , ..$'

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 2.-In compliance
with the proclamation Of Governor Cul-
berscn converting the legislature III this
city Oct. to take action on the prize
fight question which has been agItated
by the proposed Ccrbett-Fitzsimmons'
mill at Dallas Oct. 81, a quorum OF both
houses responded to roll call at high
noon and were in working shape within
80 minutes and at 1890 promptly re-
ceived message firm the governor.
Governor Culberson confined himself
solely to the prize fight question and
reviewed at length the situation which
made the calling of the legislature nee
essary. He said he regretted that he
had to call the solcns together, as tho
question was being wrangled over in the
courts, he deemed it aov. sable to stop
further discussion ly having the leg1s-
lature enact law that would be clear
and specific on this subject, and he de-
slres it to go into immediate effect.
Bitter Fight Promised.
The two bills introduced contain the
emergency cause. Cne of the bills,
introduced by Senator Lewis, is recog-
nized as the administration bill, and
prescriEes that fstic encounter be-
tween man and man shall tie deemed
felony, and shall lie punished by an
Imprisonment Ct not less than ole or
more than five years. The other bill,
prepared by Senator Simpson, provides
for an imprisonment Of from five to ten
years. AS the situation now stands the
fight manas ement have gwen up all
hopes in the senate, but they have Is
solid men in the house, and at present
these Is can block the passage OF any
measure. The matter of the enactment
of Ill anti-prze fight law has HARROW ed
down to political row between the
administration and ti-adminlstratlcn
crowd, and the Florida Athletic club
has been relegated to the rear. The
fight promises to be a very bitter one.
Position of the Solons.
There are "a members of the house
present and "a senators. In the house
it is necessary to get sc votes to make
the law go into immediate effect, and 81
votes are necessary in the senate. In
the house at present there are ID cut
and out men against putting any
emergency clause on the bill, while
there are four who are doubtful. This
puts the two-thirds vote out of the
question in the house with its present
roster. In the senate there are three
against the emergency clause and two
doubtful, which places the bill in seri-
Gus danger there, also. If vote was
taken now on the present number pres
ent there is little doubt that the emer-
gency clause would be defeated. The
administration forces do not propose to
come to vote on the matter, however,
until more of their men arrive.
