1t Was with British Ship and Resulted

The first battle in which a regularly
commissioned American war vessel was
engaged was fought 119 years ago to-

Sun. 1t was the action between the

the British armed transport Nancy. In

expense, and, though entirely distinct

the continental congress, they fire.

benefit to all the colonies. The Lee
had commission from Gen. Washing
ton permitting her to cruise in the vi
cinity of Boston for the purpose of in
tercepting supplies for the British
army. One of the greatest difficulties
that confronted the American army at
the outbreak of the revolution was the
lack of arms, ammunition and cloth

despensable supplies Washington COM
mlSSlOned number of cruisers and
sent them out for the express purpose
of capturing some of the many British
transports filed with warlike stores
that were expected to arrive on the
American coast about that time. The
Lee, commanded by John Manly, was
the first to make one of these captures.
November 20, 1775, she captured, after
a brief struggle, the British transport
Nancy and carried her into Cape Ann
Roads. The Nancy was laden with
Just the supplies that the American
army most needed at that time In her
cargo were 1000 musllets and bayonets.
besides 5000 fuses, 81 tons of musket
shot, 1900 round shot for 12-pounders,
a 13-inch mortar, two 6-pounders, sew
eral barrels of powder, and fifty car
casses, or great frames for comhusti-
bles, to set buildings on fire. For this
valuable capture Manly received cap

no LICENSE FOR A FIGHT
Comptroller Farley, Of Texas, Be
fuses Legal Sanction.
II Is Held That the Statute Providing
for Licensing Prize Fights
Was Always Void.

Austin, Texas, Sept. 25.-The tax col
lectors of McLennan and Hayes counties
yesterday applied to Comptroller Farley
for prize fight licenses, but at the in
stance of the attorney general, their ap
plications were promptly refused, the
comptroller, in a written opinion, holding
that Judge Hurts opinion, delivered at
Dallas last week, is not final, and that
the anti-prize fight law can only be
nulfified by an opinion from the full bench
OF the supreme court.
The comptr oIler in his opinion holds
that the statue providing for the IL
censing Of prize fights, was always void
in that it was contrary to public policy
II not to the constitution ITSELF
.'lf you license a man to fight, that is
to say, fight between man and man, the
statute does not even seem to give you
the privilege OF saying whether the fight
will be with bare knuckles, with gloves.
with knives, or with pistols.
'.Indced, they have the right to fight.
They are chartered libertines to that ex-
tent, ard presume they ought to be per-
mittcd to select their own weapons and
fight in their own way"
1t Is understood that the applications
were made at the instance Of the governor.
as a preliminary TO bringing test case
before the supreme court.
The collectors last night applied to
Associate Justice Denman, of the supreme
court, for a mandamus to compel the issu-
ances of licenses.
Should the writ be refused, it will
place the supreme court, associate jus.
tice, and chief justice Of the court of crimi-
nal appeals at loggerheads as to the rela-
tive value of their jurisdiction in the
matter.
1t is believed, however, that the appli-
cation will result in a sitting Of the full
supreme court ard the rendering Of final

Curious Fish in La,oe Galilee

In the Sea of Galilee-or Lake Tiberias,
as it is also caIled-there is a strange fish
named the Chromis Simonis, which is more
careful of its young than fish generally are.
The male fish takes the eggs in his mouth
and keeps them in his natural side pockets,
where they are regularly batched, and
remain until able to shift for themselves
BY this ingenious arrangement the broot
is comparatively guarded against its natu
raj enemies; it is easily fed, too, bus it Is
a puzzle how the little ones escape being
eaten alive. A month ago, says a traveller
writing to q religious contemporary, /
found in my net q number of Chromjs
Simonis without eyes. it'fi
Others Of the species, when I lifted
them up, dropped a number of little fishes
out OF their mouths, which swan away
hastily. The natives explained the phe-
nomenon. The blind Chromis are the
victims OF sea-hawks When these birds
have eaten their fill they begin to look out
br tit-bits. After catching a fish they
hit its forehead with their sharp beak,
knocking out the middle part, in which
their eyes are set. The bony structure
is dropped into the water, but the eyes are
eaten by the birds with great relish
stragely enough the fish generally survive
this rough, treatment. The wound heals
up quickly in the water, and they continue
to ply the lake for food AS II nothing bad
happened. all Mall Gazette
