Of New York
"No, but it ought TO-" replied Mr.
Henderson.
Antiprize Fight Bill Passed.
On Mr.. Boatner's motion an amend
ment was adopted reducing the maximum
penalty to one year, ON the ground that
severity Of the penalty might endanger
conviction.
Mr. Meredith Dem Of Virginia moved
TO recominit the bill but his motion was
lost, and the bill was passed without
division
The house then went into committee OF
the whole, with Mr.. Payne (Rep) of New
York In the chair, and took up the consid-

the house bond bill.
Chairman Dingley gave notice that at
the proper time, under the instruction Of
the committee ON ways and means, he

returned as a substitute bill on another
subject, which, had it been offered as an
amondment 10 tho bill in tho house, would
have been ruled out as not german. II
the senate had returned a bill or an amend
ment proposing 10 repeal the bond act of
1870 OF which the house act was partly
an amendment, there would have been
some consistency i'm its action, but Il had
distinctly rejected such proposition. The
house was entitled, Mr.. Dingloy said, TO q
distinct answer TO both propositions OF It's
