THE FIGHT FAVORED
PRESENT TEXAS LEGISLATURE
LOOKS THAT WAY.
PULLING THE POPULISTS
Lobbyists Trying to Induce Them to
support Pugilism-1w Bills In
troduced and Are Now in Tie
Hands pf Committees & JIDeu
Starts for the Lone Star Sac.

Austin, Tex, oct. 1.-The Texas
legislature met at noon yesterday
with a quorum present The govern
or in his message reviews the laws
against prize lighting in Texas, call
Ing attention to the errors therein.
Two bills we're introduced in both
houses containing the emergency
clause. one Of the bills introduced
by Senator Lewis is recognized as The
administration bill and prescribes
that prize lighting or any pugiliStic
encounter be deemed Il felony and
be punished by imprisonment Of not
less han one nor more than two years
The other bill, prepared by Senator
Simpson, provides that anyone who
aids or abetS Il fight Shall be copSid-
cred Il participant, and subject to the
above named punishment. These bills
were referred to the judiciary com
mi,trr of either house and they were
to take action thereon in The after
noon. 4 Dallas attorney appeared
before them, however, to ask further
time, claiming that ne could show
that the proposed law was unconSti-
tuional and class legislation as well
as ronfiScatory. n compliance with
the request both committees adj
journcd until morning and thinG
further was done by either house in
the matter
AS the matter now stands, it is
political row between the friends Of
Governor Culhrrron ami his present
opponents Of which he has quite
q number in the legislature. There
are nincty-fow members Of the, house
present and twcnty-fonr senators.
In the house it will be necessary to
get cighty4SiX votes to make the law
good In the house at the present
time there are fifteen out4and-out men
against putting amy emergency clause
in the bill, while there are four who
are doubtful. Thus a two-hird vote
Is out Of tine question in this house
with It's present roster. In the senate
there are three against the emergency
clause and two doubtful, which places
the bill I'm serious danger there also. If
the vote was AIKEN now. with only 1.-THE
present number present, There is little
doubt that tine emergency clause would
be Defeated The administration
forces do mot propose 10 come to
vote on the matter, however. until
more of their men arrive and these
nlrcntecs are expected today Last
night lobbying WAS indugrd in right
and left and Il strong effort walls made
to pull the twenty-five populiStS in The
house over to the fight side.

The Immediate effect OF the Giro uiar 10
to ourtail numerous free passes Issued 70
New York officials over the Elmlra and
Canandslgua division of the Northern
Central Railroad. But President Roberts
has gone further. He has adapted the
New York theory In measure to tho Key.
stone State. and has ordered general res
trenohment In the matter of transportR-
ton over the Pennsylvania system.
The libernlity OF the company he con.
tends has been abused. and the abuse
must end. Eyerp Official having authori-
ty to grant free transportation has been
directed to restrict the privilege to those
who have full right to its enjoyment This
largely restricts the use oil the pass sya-
tenn to employees of the road. Az a con.
sequence OF this move. thu number OF an.
nual passes for 1895 Is much smaller than
