WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Summing UP the
situation as to the place of holding the
next Republican convention it appears at
midnight that the real fight will be be-
tween ST. Louis and Chicago. San Fran
cisco and Pittsburg will each at
one ballot or another receive q very fiat
tering complimentary vote. but the real bat
tie will lie between st. Louis and Chicago,
with the odds possibly a trife in favor
Of ST Louis. The reason. namely. the
necessity for encouraging the newiy-born
Republican strength in Missouri. which
made Mr.. Russell sergeant alarms of the
House of Representatives. is having a strong
influence. At the same time Chicago has
many friends in the Pittsburg and San
Francisco camps. Mr.. Huston, 1t is under
stood. will vote for Pittsburg on early bal
lots, but. on critical ballots, will support
ST. Louis.

A Boston dispatch states.that Dan Cree
don, the Australian middle-weight, and
Billy Hennessy of Clinton. Iowa, have
been matched 10 meet at the Suffolk Club
June 18th, at 15S pounds, for a twenty
round fight.
Sacramentans will smile at the idea of
Hennessy going up against frst-class
man of his weight. Hennessy hung about
this city few years ago, and for while
ran saloon on the corner Of the alley on
Third street, between j and K, where
there is now a Chinese wash-house. He
took no care OF himself, and although q
clever boxer it was generally understood
that even then his best days had long
since passed.
Hennessy refereed the fight at Fifth
and l streets between Kid Hogan and lit
tie Solly Smith, and his rulings so an
gered the Los Angeles boy that the ban
tam turned from Hogan and flew at
Hennessy like sparrow going at a hawk.
In those days Hennessy and Dan Egan,
the Montana Kid" were bosom COM
panions and gave exhibition matches.
Ii Creedon is half the man he is repre-
scented to be he should have no trouble in
disposing Of Hennessy in short order.

TEACHERS ANNUITY FUND.
One of the Last Legislatures Unique
Gem Puzzles.

One of the Last Legislatures Unique
Gem Puzzles.
There was formed in this city yesterday.
in accordance with an Act of the late
Legislature, what is known as a School
Teachers Annuity and Retirement Fund
Commission. Chairman Morrison OF the
Board of Supervisors is President. r.
Lyon, Treasurer (ex-officiol, and County
School Superintendent b. f. Howard,
Secretary.
The object of the commission is to pro-
vide a sort of pension fund for teachers
who had served twenty years in the pub
lie schools. The money therefor is ex-
pected-or was, by the Legislature-to be
derived from per cent. dues on teachers
salaries; that is, each teacher is expected
to join the association and pay into the
fund l per cent. of his or her salary for
the year. The law is not compulsory,
however. as to joining, only as to the pay
ment by those who agree to do so.
While the organization of the commits
sion is mandatory, the officers say the
law is an absurdity so far as its practi-
cability is concerned. For instance, in
this county the sum annually paid in
teachers salaries is $l20.OO0 One per
cent. of this would yield fund of but
contribute. This sum would not provide
$40 per month for three pensioners, even
if every teacher paid in l per cent. of his
or her salary, and this of course they will
not do.
Moreover, the law requires. the Com
missioners to provide certain books for
records. etc., but no provision is made for
their purchase, except that the money H.
to come out OF the pension fund-shOuld
the fund contain anything.
The phraseology Of the law is ambigu-
GUS and defective, several pompously
worded sections having no meaning
whatever.

should find Chambers guilty, and would
