He is Exonorated from all Blame Of
B0wen's Death.


The action Of the New Orleans au-
thorities in releasing George Lavigne
from custody and exonerating him
from all blame in the matter of Andy
Bowen's death was discussed in sport
ing circles Saturday. The general
opinion expressed was that the effect
on boxing IN consequence of this ac-
ton will be d beheficial one and do
much toward having the present re-
strictiOns on the sport raised not only
in New Orleans, but in other cities as
well.
In speaking Of the probable effect Of
Lavigne's exoneration on the sport
Manager William A. Bfady Eaidl Fri
day: Boxing will now, / think,
flourish everywhere. Like football
rules, the boxing code is sadly in need
of revision. If the rules were 50
framed as to compel clubs giving box
ing exhibitions to pad the floor of the
ring properly and give tle referee the
power to stop a contest when it be
comes brutal, fatal glove contests
would be impossible. Boxing matches
should be decided on points, not on
knockouts. When one man clearly
outpoints the other decision should
be given, and not after a man has been
knocked out. Because one or two
lighters are killed in the ring By fall,
hitting the back of their heads against
Ihe floor, II not a good reason why
boxing should be stopped. "

THE PURITAN FLOATS.
She Sailed Into New York Harbor Under
Her Own Steam.


New London, Conn. November H. =
Steamer Puritan which stranded at Great
Gull Island foated at O'Clock this
morning and soon after seven O'Clock
came into this harbor under her own
steam going to the wharf in front of the
railway station where she will await an
opportunity to go to New York to haul
out on the dry dock.
Captain Davis said he believed that the
boat was comparatively uninjured and
the divers employed expressed similar
belief with the exception that her bottom
was scratched and probably dented by
contract with the rocks.
Last evening it was expected that the
Puritan would be hauled off at high
water but a northwest wind prevented
the uaual high tide.
This morning when the tied was up the
tugs Jones, Chapman and Scott hauled
on the steamer and with the aid of heI
windlass on either side forward the boat
was floated. Captain Davis accounts for
the disaster Of the Puritan by the failure
Of her officers to hear the blowing of the
fog horn on the island. The sound could
not be distinguished three quarters of a
mile west of the lights.
kilograms are passing now between the
Fall River line managers and dry dock
companies in New York to secure a place
for the Puritan tn undergo repairs and
she will leave as soon as arrangements
can be made.

EMBARRASSING TO CLEVELAND.
How the Results of the Election Will Al
feet the President in Congress.

Washington, November 2.-The friends
of the administration are still trying
to convey the impression that Mr.. Cleve-
land is not concerned about the general
defeat which his party has suffered. The
fact is said to be, however, that the re-
suit of the election is likely to embarrass
him during the winter, particularly to
his financial plans. 1t is evident that he
cannot escape being held responsible by
most Of the Dmocrats in Congress for the
defeat, and some Of the secrets of his
conduct toward not only his campaign.
but toward that Of last year, when the
Republican Congress was elected, are ex-
pected to be disclosed in speeches in both
houses.
There is no doubt entertained at this
time that there will be such difficulty
about securing revenue legislation salts
factory to Mr.. Cleveland that recourse
will have to again be had to bond is
sue. If authority of Congress is asked
for new issue of bonds. it is believed
that the Democrats generally will resist
it, and the Republicans will then not
feel like taking the responsibility of fol-
lowing the recommendations of Demo-
cratic President against the protest of his
his own party.
If, failing to get special authorization
from Congress, bond issue is made on
the plan of the last one, Democrats are
expected to promptly attack the admins
tration, in order to disavow any sympa-
thy with Mr. Carlisle's former acts, and,
again, the Republicans will hardly feel
that they can defend him. An investi-
cation of the last bond transaction aud
Of several other matters of administra-
ton are expected to be started soon af-
ter Congress meets In these it. is believed
that Democrats will not pretend to de-
feat the administration, but will rather
join with the prosecution. The party
defeat has simply divorced the dissatisfied
D emocrats from even the formal associa-
ton with the administration, and gives
the prospect of general attack on the
meeting of Congress.
