4 KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Senate Promptly Passes the Bill
Sent Over from the
House.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-The anti
prize fight bill has passed the Senate
When the bill arrived Mr.. Hoar (Rep.,
Mass.) stated briefly the need Of speedy
action, as the prizefghters had been
driven from Texas to Mexico and now
to New Mexico, where they hoped to
fight because there was no restraining
law.
The bill was read. No objection was
made and within three minutes from
the time it had been presented to the
Senate it was passed.
The Catron bill will probably be sent
to the President tomorrow or next day
and it is considered almost certain that
it will be signed promptly by him, thus
making it a law and operative immedl-
ately. With this law on the statute
judicial and if necessary militia will be
invoked to see that the prize fight is
stopped.
No PRONUNCIATION of the new anti-priZe
fight law will be necessary. The law
becomes operative from the moment 1t is
signed by the President and all persons
must at their peril take cognizance OF IT'S
enactment. Indeed. under we'll estab'
lished law as laid down in the settled
opinions of the United States Supreme
court, any person violating its provisions
on the same day, but after the hour IN
which it is signed would be liable to all
the penalties of the act. 1t is usual IN
many public acts to include a provision
that the law shall not take effect until
certain date or certain number OF days
after it's passage but such provision
was expressly excluded from the Catron
act for the reason that it was an emer-
gency law especially designated to stop
the Fitzsimmons- Maher and other bouts
scheduled in the Stuart carnival.
The authorities. in advance of the
laws signature. will not say what course
they will take to prevent any violation
but express absolute confidence that the
fight will not take place OH United States
soil after the act is signed by the Presl-
dent. The governor of New Mexico is
in hearty sympathy with the movement
to break up the fights and the Catron
bill was framed largely at his suggestion
in order to stop them. 1t is probable the
United States district attorney and@nSf-
shall for New Mexico will be instructed
promptly to see the fight does not take
place and to enforce the law vigorously
against abettors and participants should
an attempt be made to pull off the fight
notwithstanding the law. The depart
ment would cooperate with the depart
ment of justice in this movement by the
use of troops 1t is felt here that they
will never be needed and if the fights
occur they will take place outside OIL the
United States jurisdiction.

House to concur. The report viii be called
up on the 9Th and the debate will run for
two days with night sessions. The House
spent the remainder of the day debating a
series of amendments offered by Mr.. Hainer
Rep., Neb) to strike from the District of
Columbia appropriation bill the appropria-
tion for private and sectarian institutions
of charity in the district and place the
money proposed to be appropriated for them
at the disposal of the board of children's
guardians. Much feeling was cngendered
and at times the debate grew quite ex
citing.
The debate on the Senate free coinage
substitute for the House bond bill was
the 9Th, but the body did not get around
to it, The session opened with an attempt
to pass a bill to stop the ''pugilistic fes-
tival' billed to take place near Ell Paso
Tex. Mr.. Catron, the delegate from New
Mexico, asked unanimous consent for the
consideration of the bill, but objection was
made Later in the session is was unani-
mously passed. The District of Columbia
appropriation bill, on which a fight has
been made over charitable appropriations,
was defeated by vote of 1875 to 143
The Senate free-coinage substitute for the
House bond bill was debated five hours In
the House on the 9th and for three hours
at the night session. Nevertheless the
pressure from members for time to present
their views was so great that the debate
will run over into next week The speech
es have been tame and dry. There were
two notable exceptions, however, Mr.. john
son IN. d. and Mr. Johnson (Cal), both
Republicans. but on different sizes OF the
silver question, afforded entertai-I ment and
perhaps instruction.

STORM IN THE EAST.
Buildings Blown Down at Brooklyn

From various parts of the city the po-
lice have reports of buildings being I'M
rooted by the wind and many shade
trees have been destroyed.
New York, Feb. 6.-Ihe storm OF wind
and rain which began last night is most
severe At y o'clock the wind was
blowing sixty-two miles an hour. Men,
women and children were literally lifted
from their feet by the force of the gale.
In several instances down town heavily
loaded trucks were overturned. Teie-
graphic communication is interrupted in
every direction, particularly along the
coast. When r is restored there will
probably be many stories of wreck to
tell. A claiming sloop was capslzed by
the wind near Fort Hamilton. 1t con-
tanned three men. A gig from the cruis-
er Columbia put off to their assistance,
but before the sloop was reached it was
dashed 20 pieces.

BRAZ[L'S SOVEREIGNTY.
England Recognizes it with Regard
to the Island Of
Trinidad.

New York, Feb. 6-The Herald's cor
respondent in Rio Janeiro, Brazil. tele-
graphs that the British minister has re-
ceived a dispatch from England order
ing him to recognize the sovereignty of
Brazil in the island of Trinidad. 1t is
now probable that Brazil will permit
Great Britain to establish a coallng sta
ton on the island for her South Atlantic
squadron and that she will grant the
right to lay a cable on its shores. The
Herald's correspondent adds that i'll dip
expressed at the amicable settlement of
the question. The Brazilian capital is
greatly excited over the news from Para
received today to the effect that the
French gunboat Begali, patrolling the
waters in the disputed territory of Amapa
on the frontier of French Guiana, has
seized cargo on board boat sailing
under the protection of the Brazilian
flag.
London. Feb. ct it officially de-
ment of Great Britain has recognized
the island of Trinidad as being Bra
lillian possession. 1t is further stated
that the situation of affairs regarding
the claims to the ownership of the lands
is unchanged.
Paris, Feb 6.-Several newspapers de-
Glaze that the position of Brazil in re-
gard to the Amapa territory and the
conduct of Cabral, the alleged governor
of the disputed district is becoming in
tolerabIe, and they add that the national
dignity requires that the matter be speed

while under his leadership at the battle
of South mountain the command re-
ceived it's name of Iron brigade.
Gen. Gibbon was born at Holmes
burg Pa, April 20. 1927, and entering
the United States Military academy he
graduated therefrom in 1S47. He was
at once assigned to the artillery and
served through the Mexican war. From
the surrender of the Santa Anna to the
breaking out of the Civil war he was
on frontier and garrison duty excepting
from 1854 to 1857, when he was instruct
or of artillery at West Point, serving at
the academy as quartermaster from 1856
to 1859. He made a particularly brill
liant record during the Civil war.
He was brevetted brigadier-general
and major-general, United States army,
to date from March ID, 1865, and was
one of the commissioners to carry into
effect the stipulations for Lees surrender
and was mustered out of volunteer SER
vice January 10, 1866.
After the Civil war he remained in the
service and in 1877 commanded the Vel
lowstone expedition against Sitting Bull,
and year later another against the Nez

ARMY READY TO ACT.
Force Ample TO Preserve Order Already
in New Mexico.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-The army
officers ON duty at the war department
are prepared to do all in their power to
execute the provisions of the Catron bill
if called upon when the bill becomes a
law. The procedure of setting in mo-
ton the machinery of the army would be
for the governor of New Mexico, or any
territory which may be the scene of the
unlawful gathering, TO call upon the
United States marshal of the territory TO
act, and he might, if he felt it to be
necessary, call upon the military au-
thorities for the assistance Of the United
States troops. The war department. au-
thorities say they have an ample force
of troops in New Mexico and adjacent
to the border to take care of any number
of sports who would likely be there to
take any chances of arrest on charges Of
felony by attending prize fight. While
recognizing the probability Of the enact
ment of the Catron bill, army officers
feel confident that the services of the
troops will not be called for, believing
that it will compel an abandonment of
the project to pull the fight off i'll the

REPORTER ORDERED TO LEAVE.
William f. Mannix is Persona non Grata
in Cuba.

Washington, D. c., Feb. William
r. Mannix, the American newspaper cor
respondent in Cuba. who has been or
dered by the authorities to leave the isl
and, wrote a private letter to the Even
ing Star here some days ago in which
he said he had been informed that he
was blacklisted at the palace at Havana
and any more side trips would be the
cause Of his being invited to leave. The
state department has not yet been in
formed of the intention of the Spanish
officials to expel Mannix, but it has
been known here that his vigorous let
ters have proven Objectionable to the
Spanish authorities.
Senior de Lone says the Spanish con-
sul-general at New York paid Mannix's
way to Cuba, the latter representing
that he was in need of financial assist
ance to get to the island and that it
would be well for Spain to have a COR
respondent for American~papers in Cuba
who would tell the truth about condi-
tons as he found them. Subsequent
events, the minister says, proved to him
that Mannix was unworthy Of being

SALVAGE on the St. Paul.

New York, Feb. 5.-Shipping men are
already at work fixing up general
average list of the losses sustained by
the st. Paul Opinions differ as to the
amount of the loss, but all agree that
the salvage that will have to be paid
will be the largest ever collected from
any one vessel since the business of
building ships was begun. The lowest
estimate places this amount at 100000.
The loss will fall on the underwriters,
as the American line does not insure it's
own vessels. If mismanagement could
be proved against the officers of the
company, however, suit may be brought
and the total loss collected from the
steamship company.

BOND LOAN A SUCCESS.
The Issue Subscribed 1or More
Than Five Times Over.
Morgan Syndicate Makes Bid Of no.
GOTTA Flood of Offers.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 6.-Four-
thousand six hundred and forty bids,
aggregating 1858, 269,S50.
Such was the tremendous total of the
subscriptions for bonds opened at the
treasury department yesterday in ac
cordance with the terms of the call is
sued a month ago inviting proposals for
$100,000000 of United States per
cent bonds, to run for thirty years from
February /, 1895. These figures do not
include about $120,O00,o of ''crank"
bids, rejected as bogus. The immense
offerings astounded experts The bids
literally sWamped the treasury depart
ment, which was SO taken by surprise
that at o'clock last night, although ex-
ira clerks had been hurriedly drafted,
the work of tabulating the bids was still
in progress, and it was impossible to tell
with detiniteness how many bids and
for what aggregate had been received
at figures in advance of the price of | It.
6S77, at which a syndicate composed Of
j. +. Morgan & Co, Harvey Fisk II Co.
and the Deutsche bank of Berlin offered
to take the whole loan.
The bids ranged from par up to a sim
gle $50 bid at $50. 1t is impossible, at
this time, therefore, to say how the
awards will be made.
Treasury officials regard the loan as a
complete success, both as to the popular
subscription feature and the prices OBJ
tanned. Bids came from several thou
sand individuals and from hundreds of
national banks and other banking insti-
tutions. Nearly all of the leading New
York bankers and big insurance COM
panies were represented in the list of
bidders, but with a few exceptions they
were outmaneuvered by the Morgan SYN
dicate
Owing to the confusion caused by the
magnitude of the offerings and the con-
sequent delay in classifying and schedul-
ing the bids, any authoritative statement
of policy that will be pursued cannot be
made at this time. AS the great bulk of
the offerings were below the Morgan
figure, it is believed that the syndicate
headed by the great New York banker
will be accepted for at least $50, O0O,0 600
and possibly more. In any event no bid
below the syndicate rate of 11O.6S77 will
be accepted, as that rate covers tne en-
tire loan. 1t is understood that MIR.
Morgan will procure part of the gold
from abroad and will not need to depete
the treasury to furnish any part If the
gold called for under his bid.
There were a vast ndmber of bids for
figures fractionally rising no. but under
the Morgan figure, and for amounts ag-
gregating sufficient to take UP the entire
loan. Among them were the offers of
the Stewart and Mccall syndicates in
Guiding the big insurance, banking and
trust companies of New York city, which
stood ready to take huge blocks of bonds
at figures in excess of prices named a
week ago as high mark for long lots.

TWENTY-FIVE ARE MISSING

Morristown, N. j., Feb. THE dam
at Pocahontas lake broke last night and
all the lower part Of this city was mum
dated. So far as known no lives have
been lost, although twenty-five persons
are missing. Their disappearance is
creating intense excitement.
All day the melting snow had swollen
the streams and poured into the lake,
which is a mile and a half long by three
quarters of mile wide. 1t was covered
by eight inches of ice, and the whole
was held in check by the frailest and
fimsiest wooden dam. The water rose
to the top. Meanwhile the water rush
ing through the fume and from all the
sewers had filled the Whippany river
which flows through MorristoWn, to the
brim and the water ran over. Crowds Of
people fOcked to view the spreading
waters. Suddenly with a great crash, a
section of the dam eighteen feet wide
went down, and a wall of water six
feet high swept into the valley quickly
followed by thousands Of tons of ice.

The fierce storm which swept over the
state played havoc with New England
railroad bridges, and the swollen waters
of the Pequebuck river threatened to
carry the bridge away. At 5 O'Clock q
special wrecking train, with forty men,
left East Hartford and were put to work
on the new bridge, which the company
is building over the river and which is
almost completed. 1t was this bridge
which went down with the men.

posed to accredit him.
In this case the nomination Of Mr.. Uhl

word came from Berlin that Mr.. Uhl's
