Fitzsimmens Wins.

LANGTRY, Tex. February 21.-Peter
Maher was knocked out by Bob Fitz-
simmons today in the first round. after
one minute and thirty FIVE seconds of
actual fighting. Fitzsinmons played
the same old game he has so often
played before, leading on his opponent
until he had him where he wanted him,
and then landed a lightning right hand
swing on the jaw and it was all over.
1t was the identical blow that knocked
out Jim Hall in New Orleans.
The general opinion among the sport
ing men who Witnessed the fight was
that it was most brilliant and un
qualified victory for Fitzsimmons.
Maher may have not been in as good
condition as the Australian, but he
could not have been out fought SO
quickly no matter what his condition
had he not been badly outclassed in
point of skill. The general feeling was
that Fitzsimmons is fully capable of
giving Corbett or any other man on
earth desperately hard fight at any
time No weights We're announced at
the ring side, bnt Fitzsimmons weighed
about f6j and Maher about $50.
The crowd disappeared from Langtry
almost as quickly as it had come and it
was not in the neighborhood over two
and half hours altogether. The west
bound regular train for Ell Paso was
held until 6 clock and when it went il
carried with it the pugilists and nearly
every person who had come down to see
the fight. The special train from Eagle
Pass started on its homeward way at
at the same time and the great fight
was over and done.

Jones and the Tariff.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Senator Jones finds himself bitterly
attacked by his Arkansas opponents for
the part he took in framing the tariff
law. He is charged with selling out TO
German and Brice. with listening 10 the
manufacturers and abandoning the
Democratic idea he was supposed TO
represent.
The Senator has replied that had he
taken different stand the Mckinley
law would still be in force and effect.
He might have added, also, that the
charge of incompeteney and inability TO
legislate which has been brought against
the Democratic party would have been
proved.
Senators Jones and Vest were charged
with peculiar responsibility. They
were asked TO frame tariff bill which
would pass the Senate. 1t was quickly
developed that bin which would
represent their ideas and the contention
of their States could not become a law.
The issue reduced itself to the question
a. to whether there should be substi
tuted for the Mckinley law tariff
measure making such reductions as 4g
Democratic Senators would support OF
whether the Wilson bill should BE-
defeated.
In the effort to save something from
the wreck os the Nilaon bill Senator
The Van Buren press., 1896-02-29

Jones worked night and day for two
months. During that time liz made for
himself a national reputation. He was
hopeful Of securing the passage Of a
tariff bill, when his colleagues and the
newspaper correspondents declared such
u thing was impossible.
There was not a day during the Senate
discussion Of the tariff bill when less
diBIoulatie Senator than Jones would
not have made the passage Of any b1
impossible. Harris. the floor leader +,
was disposed 70 bulldoze a coterie Of
Senators who did not fear his wrath.
Vest was disgusted with the Senate
protectionists that he could not consider
them with patience.
The Senate Democratic Steering Com
mittee pleaded with Jones to bt
cautious. He did what few ambition:
Senators have ever consented to do. He
voluntarily placed himself in position
where his motives would surely be
questioned, but where he could moi
possibly answer his critics. Had ht
been disposed to sacrifice his party NJ
could have made himself impregnable
Arkansas would have been delighted
any morning during the tariff discussion
to hear that its Senator had denounced
the Eastern Senators who stood for pro
lection. It would have been a gooC
thing for Jones. but the business of th'
United States would still be done undel
the Mckinley law. Democrats would
have no defense against the charge o
incompetency and high protection woulc
have been the policy of the nation 70
many years.
