ACCORDING TO CRANE
THE AN1LpRzE-FGHTING LAW IS GOOD
He lnstructs the Sheriff of Dallas County to Carry Out the law-A
 Poser.

Austin, Tex, July 14.-Attorney- -Gener- al Crane today gave to the public his opinion on the law of 1891, which pro- hibits prize fighting in Texas. The opin- ion is handed down at the instance of the county attorney at Dallas, in view of the proposed fight there in November be- tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The attorney-general holds that the law of 1881 is valid and operative. This opinion is contrary to that of many lawyers, who contend that the law is invalid, because it denounced the offense as a felony, and affiXes thereto the punishment of a mis- demeanor, and secondly, because the act is so indefinitely framed, and is of such doubtful construction, considered either by itself or in connection with the other provisions of the written law that it can not be understood.
 In rebuttal the attorney-general holds. 'The contention of the inquiry controls the express language in the construction of statutes, and following this doctrine laid down by the courts are perfectly at liberty to eliminate the word felony if such elimination was necessary to give effect to the legislative intent. It must be plain that the court believed he in- tention of the legislature was to prohib- it prize fighting. If the court further be- lieved that the fact that the legislature affixed the punishment of misdemeanor to the offense of prize fighting and that the word felony was inserted by mis- take, it was at perfect liberty to disre- gard that word in the construction of the statute"
 He argues that the court of criminal appeals has held the law to be valid and he does likewise.
 He instructs the sheriff of Dallas coun- ty that it is not his duty to question the legality of any law, but that he must carry out it's provisions to the letter un- til the said law is set aside by the courts. The opinion is very lia ble to raise stir among the Dallas people, who are long ing for the fight. It Is generally con- ceded if the matter could be gotten to the niger courts on a statement of facts as to it's contradictory elements that the law would be declared invalid, but as that can hardly be done before the date of the fight some uneasiness is expressed that the governor will enforce the enact- ment of the law of 1891 with the militia.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.
His Cordial Reception at Rome-The Poss- bity of His Succession to the
 Papacy Discussed

New York, July 14.-The Tribune to- morrow will publish the following
 The latest visit to Rome of Cardinal Gibbons and his cordial reception by Pope Leo XIII. have shown in many ways the increasing influence exercised at the Eternal City by the American Catholics and church.
 The pontiff at the vatican issued brief address to Cardinal Gibbons, adVo- eating his project relative to the convo- cat of euchoristic congress in America, similar to those held in Europe, and approving also the new programme of philosophical, literary and scientific studies for the Catholic university in Washington. But the most remarkable evidence of the importance attached to the visit of Cardinal Gibbons is to be found in the European, or rather the most authorized Italian organs, which discussed the chances of the American prelates becoming the successor of Leo XIII. Of course there is no probability that such a thing could happen so long as there is majority of Italian cardl- nals in the conclaye. Still, it is interest," ing to read among other statements on the subject the following, published by the Gazette de Lausanne, from its cor respondents:
 Great attention has been given re- gently to an article in the Reforma, the personal organ of Signor Crispi, edited by. the nephew of the Italian premier, and supporting the candidacy of Cardi- nal Gibbons to the Tiara. I am more than certain that Cardinal Gib- bons will not have two votes at the next conclave for the question of foreign pope, Is far from being ripe for settlement. Still, the article of the Rforma easily explains itself. A for eign, and especially an American pope, would be inclined to leave the Eternal City and establish his residence else where. It is easy to understand that such prospect is not displeasing to the Italian government, for it would be the end of the Roman question. Rome would then belong entirely and exclusively to the monarchy. There would be no more trouble about the eternal papal question, which they do not know how to solve. It is precisely on that account that the wishes of the Riforma are not likely to be fulfilled, for the papacy thinks now less than ever of separating its interests from those of the Eternal City, and of abandoning it's claims upon the posses sion of Rome"

DOUBLE LYNCHlNG IN ARKANSAS,
Seventy-fNe Unmasked Men String Up Two
 Negroes.

Caldron, Ark, July 1.-Two negro pris- oners were lynched by seventy-fve men at Hampton, thirty miles away. Two weeks ago white man named Martin was killed by three negroes. Two of them were arrested and confined in jail A small mob gathered several nights ago, but were persuaded to disperse. Last night seventy-five men demanded of the sheriff the delivery of the keys. It was useless to resist such a force with but a handful of men to summon to his aid so the keys were delivered to them. The negroes were secured and carried to the neighboring forest, the enra ged mob giv- ing them a few minutes for prayer when the ropes were adjusted and two spirits were launched into eternity.
 The men were not masked and made TO effort in any way to conceal their iden- tity. All was quiet this morning.
 It was only couple of years. ago that a race war occurred in that county. The negroes outnumber the whites by far in Calhoun county and further trouble is expected Circuit court was in session at the time of the murder and the negroes had been arraigned for trial. The main perpetrator had escaped, but the two mobbed negroes were implicated in the crime.

THE SILVER GATHERING.
Col. Casey Young Corrects Misapprehension
 as to Its Scope.

Memphis, Tenn, July 14.-According to Hon. Casey Young, secretary of the com- mittee having in charge the proposed gathering of silver democrats at Wash ington August IA, it is going to deluge them.
 '"rhe only unfortunate thing about the whole matter is this," said Colonel Young: "A misapprehension of the pur- pose of the meeting seems to pre- vail among many of those to whom in- vitations have been sent. They seem to think the meeting Is to be in the nature of a great silver convention,-whe the truth of the matter is that 1t is to be simply conference of silver democrats to devise the best way to secure such arl organization of silver democrats every: where as will insure the securing of con- trol of the several conventions.
 Many of those who have written me have enclosed from fifty to 15O names of men who twill be there or who could probably be prevailed upon to go. Well, now, this is not what is wanted Only five or six men from each state are de- sired at the coming conference, men who are recognized leaders in party organiza- ton in the several states. Let these come together first, and if, after con ference, they think a national convention of free delegates will be good for the cause let it be called"

THE WHEELMEN.
The Big Meet Officially Ended at Midnight Sat urday But Several Events Were
 Carried Over.

Asbury Park, N. J., July 1.-The six teenth annual meet of the League Of American Wheelmen officially ended when the clock struck twelve last night, but many conditions conspired to carry the affair over today and tomorrow. In the beginning there was postponed until today the final heat of the two mile Class B handicap race, rendered neees- sary by the terrific hail, thunder and lightning outbreak which struck the town just before the men were put on their marks. Then came the announce ment that Harry Maddox, the pride Of Asbury Park, would ride tomorrow for the five mile record, and on top of this race the committee today opened entry lists for the following prize vents tomor- row:
 Class A, half mile, open; mile, open t2:3O class); mile, open. No entrance fee will be charged. Among the crack riders already signed are: w. r. Sims, Raymond Nixon, E. c. Bald, Charles T. ll. Earl l.. D. Cabenne, Dr. A. l.. Brown, A. D. Kennedy, Teddy Goodman and Ray Dawson. It is probable that Ray Mcdonald will also go for the one-third mile record, and Fred Titus for his own hour mark, paced by tandems, triplet and quad.
 But these races must derive their au- diences for the most part from the sum- fner guests at the various hotels and the local population, rather than from the League of American Wheelmen mem bers, who have been present as dele gates to the meet, a majority of the mem bers having been compelled by arrange ments previously made to leave last night or this morning for their respective homes. Many of the numerous Philadel- phia representatives left last evening, and most of the Denver club, the largest single delegation present, went this morning to New York, en route to Bos-

DEATH AT THE STAKE.
Narrow Escape of Two Indian Police Who
 Murdered Chief.

Fender, Neb., July 1.-Two of Cap tain Becks Indian police are in the Thurston county jail to answer to the charge of murdering George Parker, son of Fire Chief, the last great chief of the Omahas. The crime occurred last night on the Omaha reservation, near the tribes celebration grounds, and the two policeman had narrow escape from being burned to a stake by the 5000 Omaha Indians that were near at hand. The policemen are Winnebagos-Frank Ewing and Black Elk Ewing claims the shooting was accidental, but other re- ports state that he made the assertion that he just wanted to kill an Omaha The two tribes are very unfriendly. Peo- pie from the reserva ton will call atten- tion to this crime to prove that Becks Indian police are not the proper persons to be given fire arms.
 The Omahas are excited over the mur- der and a tribal war is possible.
