Washington. Feb. S-Delegate catron,
OF New Mexico, Is greatly displeassd
at the impression which has been formed
that he was acting under the advice OF
Governor Thornton, of New Mexico. in
his efforts to prevent prize fighting in the
territory. Calon made the following
statement to the Associated Press today:
THE statement has been published that
the action taken by me on the prize-ight-
ing bill was on the advice. and at the
request OF Governor Thornton. Governor
Thornton never consulted with ne; never
advised me. nor requested me to do any
thing in regard to the subject. From
information which 1 have received from
New Mexico, l believe that Governor
Thornton. while pretending he would IKE
to stop the fight, was actually acting in
collusion with Dan Stuart, in order to
have the fight come of, and had advised
Stuart that there was no law in New
Mexico which would enable him or the
authorities TO stop the fight; and sub
stantially informed Stuart that the fight
might so on, although he could not
openly consent"

Prince Hohenlohe concluded by saying

Mr.. Bryan's wife was Miss Mary f.
Baird, the only daughter of prosper

seem to differ somewhat as to whether
she is handsome or otherwise, but the
fact is, she ia what would be called
really handsome and attractive. She is
withal woman Of rare mental endow-

of determination. and found no difficulty
in passing her examination for admis-

whatever to either
At the time Bryan made his famous
tariff speech in the house he generously
declared his wife deserved share of
the praise he got for it. Mrs. Bryan was
in the gallery and heard every word of
the speech. She noted the volume Of
