Wisconsin Apportion 0eDt Is No Nearer
Solution.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. ~. - Much
trouble has developed in regard to the
senate districts on a basis that county
lines could be broken if necessary. A
subcommittee of five, which was ap.
pointed to prepare bill with broken
county lines, has arranged NC less than
six measures of this character. They
are unable to agree upan one, and the
whole matter will be fought over again
in the conference committee. The
formal sessions of the legislature itself
were very brief
So far all the legislative sessions have
been mere formalities, and they will
continue to be SO until after the senate
bill is arranged. All the work is being
done in the joint conference committee,
where all the arguments and discus
sions are being heard. After this COM
mittee is through with the bill it will
be in shape to be passed by the legisla-
ture, which will, without doubt, have
no argument upon the subject what
ever.
FITZSIMMONs THE CHAMPION.
Maher Was Knocked Out in One Short
Round.
LANGTRY, Tex, Feb. ~. - Peter
Maher was knocked out by Bob Fitz-
simmons in the first round, after /
minute and IS seconds of actual fight
ing. Fitzsimmons 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 lightning right hand swing on
the jaw, and it was over. For the first
part of the round Maher had the better
Of it. He led often and forced the
fighting. In his eagerness to get at
Fitzsimmons he committed palpable
foul during clinch, and was warned
by Referee Siler that its repetition
would cost him the fight. Maher
fought well, but he was
No Match For His Red Headed
opponent, who proved himself one Of
the craftiest men who ever stepped
into the ring. Fitzsimmons is now, by
Corbett's action in presenting the
championship to Maher, the champion
of the world, and, after the fight was
over, he declared, through Julian, his
willingness to defend the champion
ship against any and all corners.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Colo, Feb. 21.-
A gas explosion occurred in the Vulcan
mine near Newcastle, just before IL
o'clock, when there were between so
and 80 men in the mine at work. At
the shaft mouth a hole 100 feet square
was bown out Ed Welsh, who was
just at the mouth of the tunnel when
the explosion took place, was blown to
atoms. Timbers two feet square were
blown into the Grand river, 400 feet
away. 1t is almost certain that all the
men in the mine persisted. The fans
in the mine are the only means Of sup
plying air to the workmen, and as these
are completely demolished, the last
hope Of any one being found alive is
cut off. As soon as the news Of the ex-
plosion reached Newcastle, Superinten-
dent Blount closed the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company and,

The coal fields in which the Vulcan
mine is located have been
Troubled With subterranean Gases
for many years. In many places, over
a distance of 80 to 100 miles, smoke has
issued from crevices in the rocks since
the country was first known to white
men, and in later years more than one
valuable coal mine has been destroyed
by fire breaking into the workings A
little over year ago the mines Of the
V9can company had to be flooded on
this account and the old workings have
never been reopened. The drift where
this occurred was a new one. It is
thought the disaster may have been
caused by the breaking into an i'm

everlasting fires. ..s.... -..=
