Prlze-Flght Laws

Ever since it has heon ANNOUNCED
that an attempt would pc made to
bring off the Co bait sharkey fight in
this State, the reformsr as well is the
sport has been intot ested in the
laws of Nevada on the mat
ter.
Our Legislature by an Act of 1893
amending an Act of 1861 made a law
which has intended to legalize boxing
contests in this State. 7 is amendment
reads:
Section l. Corporations may be
created for the organization and main
tenace Of gymnasiums athletic history,
scientific and literary societies designed
to promote the diffusion of useful know
sledec.
This, however although rs before
stated, intended to license contests
does not repeal a previous law as, fol-
lows:
Chapter 81, statute of 1877. If any
person or persons with or without
deadly weapons upon previous consent
or agreement. fight one with the other,
give or send, or cause any her
person to give or send q challenge,
ETC.,
And goes on to provide for punish,
msnt as imprisonment in the State
Pst1itentiary from two to ten year,.
While this might be the law under
which action would be brought it ia
apparent that it was not intended to
prohibit so-ealled glove contests, but
rather duelling and the average
jury would probably leok at it in that
way.
Now Section 12O--4667 of the Gen
eral Statutes apply directly to prize
fighting and specifically designatss it.
This law Is indexod as "Prize fighting
by agreement deemed IN ARRAY" ano
reads:
IF two Or more persons shall by
agreement, fight in public place, tt
the terror of citizens of this State
the persons 50 offending shall hs
deemed guilty of an aifray and shall
pc severally fined not to exceed $500
and imprisoned i'll the County Jai
not ts exceed six months.
This is the law of the Stat3 O
Nevada on the subject, and after al
it seems that any action will depend
on its Interpretation by the officer
and later by the jury. Doubtless
loophole can be found with matter
50 indefinite IS they now seem to be
and that the certainty of fine 0
$500 would not prevent the contes
may be accepted as forsgons con
acknowledgements.

While London has recently bcrn
pursuing very carefully a hand-to
mouth policy in the trade in silver in
order to prevent an advance in the
price; Japan has been taking advan-
tage of London's action and buying
of San Francisco. England has been
shakin:' the tree and Japan picking
up the fruit. The output of. the
smelters has increased, but it has
not come to New York. This is a
hint for New Yoak. Japan has found
that she can bring her silver supply
directly across the Pacific instead of
having it pass tn ough New York
and London and travail around the
world. Japan has no patent on her
discovery and China can follow suit.

DULL TIMES IN ENGLAND.
British Exports and Imports Have Faller
on Heavily This Year.

An English paper, the Manchester
Union, gives this synopsis Of trade con.
ditiOnS:
England has suffered from dull times.
as have France, Germany and other
European countries. without regard To
their tariff policies. The aggregate
loss In the export trade this year. as
compared with the first nine months
of 1892, is given at almost $40, 900. 600
But the falling off in imports is mucs
greater still. amounting TO SIS .OOO. 600.
showing that dull times had prevented
the British from buying since they
could not sell. This falling off in Brit
ish Imports by $4,000. 900 in nine
months gives one good reason why
wheat Is but little above 60 cents
bushel in Chicago. The exports of
British coal fell off $4,000, 600 in the
first nine months of this year as
compared with the year before In
cotton yarns the export dimin.
ished by over $4,000. coo pounds and
in cotton piece goods by 25O. OOO. OOC
yards, as compared with the exports in
1892. While this shows heavy i'm
mediate loss To manufacturers and to
labor it is Indicative, however, of dc
creased stocks of cottons in purchasing
countries, unless other manufacturing
countries have met the deficiency i'm
the English trade, which does not ap.
pear reasonable in face OF the large
stocks of raw cotton that are available
In textile fabrics the exports decreased
10y nearly $4,000 90C and i'm woolleh
and worsted yarns by nearly 81, OGO, 600.
snd in woollen goods by s., 500. 600
Metal goods. hardware and cutlery all
tell off in quantity and value; tin
plate exports decreased 10y nearly
$500, 600, smaller purchases by the
United States representing the full
amount of the decline. The exports of
manufactures in iron and steel repre-.
sent loss of ~ 200, 900; of machinery
the same amounts articles of wearing
apparel, shop goods and articles for
personal use decreased 70 the extent of
1900, 900. with smaller losses in ex
ports of glass, cement and paper. The
export trade i'm earthen ware and oils
increased somewhat.
