the desire for war was in response to a
fault committed by Spain, the senators
would be accomplishing their duty. But
no provocation has been given to the

HOPES TO BE PLACED AS MAJOR
Captain Luhn Asks to Be So Ranked
on the Retired List.

Washington, March 2.-Captain c.. L.
Luhn, of Spokane, is asking to be
placed on the retired list of the army
as major Of infantry. Captain Luhn
enlisted as a private seven years be-
fore the civil war, and by hard work
and bravery, secured a commission as
second lieutenant February 10. 1853. Pri-
or to the war he participated in Gen
eral Harvey operations against the
Sioux Indians in 1855, and was also
member of General Johnston'S COM
mand in the famous expedition against
the Mormons in 1858; also in Colonel
Hoffman'5 expedition against the Mo-
have Indians in 1859. During the war
Of the rebellion his service was with
the army of the Potomac, commencing
with the siege Of Yorktown, terminating
with the close Of the war. For gallant
and meritorious services at Petersburg,
Virginia, he received a brevet commits
sion as captain. He continued to serve
in the army and was retired February
49, 1895, by reason of having reached
the age of Ga years, having a record of
AZ years continuous service and 80 years
as a commissioned officer.
A reference to the army register
shows that Captain Luhn was original
ly senior to all the captains of infar -ry
now above him (save one). and clever
majors. BY reason o. the system of
promotion in vogue and the consolida-
ton of regiments in 1869, Captain Luhn
was 80 placed that for eight years and
six months he stood at the head Of the
list Of first lieutenants in his regiments
while his juniors in other regiments
were being promoted. In view OF these
facts, he now seeks to have a law en-
acted which will place him on the re-
tired list as major, where 1t is claimed
he rightfully belongs. Representative
Hyde has interested himself in Captain
Luhn's behalf

KNOCKED OUT IN SIX ROUNDS
Jimmy Murphy Is the Man Who Struck
Billy Patterson.

West Superior, Wis. March Jim
mic Murphy of Chicago knocked out
Billy Patterson of San Francisco in the
sixth round this evening. The fight
was a vicious one from the start. Tom
my Madden of this city acted as ref
cree.
Both men forced the fighting and it
was anybody's fight up to the fourth
round. Murphy had been forcing the
contest and had landed a number of
wicked face blows. PattersOn'S ability
to take punishment was remarkable.
In the fourth round he was knocked
down, but arose and swung on Muir
phys neck with a blow which dazed the
Chicago man. In the fifth round Pat
terson tried the pivot blow and landed
fairly on Murphy's neck Murphy
swung his left and landed on the jaw,
following it up with Highlander on
the neck. Patterson went down like
q log and just saved himself from be-
ing counted out.
In the sixth round Murphy had Pat
terson at his mercy and pounded him
at will, finally Objecting to the punish
ment he was inflicting. Patterson in
sisted on being knocked clear out of
the ring, but the referee awarded the
fight to Murphy.
The men fought under difficulties.
The determined action of the sheriff I'M
der orders from the governor to stop
the fight caused a change in the plans
and they had to elude pursuit, the fight
ing party leaving this city at p. m.
The sheriff's train followed and the
state line for 10 miles was patrolled.
The main line of the ST. Paul & Duluth
was followed to the station of Howell,
IS miles distant in Minnesota, where
there was no interference. The ring
was pitched on the ground, which the
snow had been shoveled from.

TACOMA REGISTERS A PROTEST
Does Not Want the u. S. Penitentiary
Removed to Walla Walla.

Washington, d. c., March 1.-Some talk
which has been current in Tacoma re-
Gently relative to the rumored removal of
the United States penitentlary at McNeirs
island to WaIla Walla, eliminated in the
matter being brought to the attention of
Representative Doolittle by the Tacoma
chamber of commerce. Mr.. Doolittle went
at once to the department of justice and
made Inquiry in regard to the rumor.
He found that the removal had never
been seriously thought OF, and the depart
ment stated that while the penitentiary
at McNeil's island had proved somewhat
more expensive than such an establish
ment should be, in view of it's usefulness
to the government 1t would continue to
be maintained until some better arrange
ment should be made than any that had
yet been proposed.
The benefits which accrue to Tacoma
from the present losation Of the peniten-
tiary are about $4,000 a year, and the
business men of that city have no desire
to lose the profit that is to be mado upon
expenditures to this amount, which ac-
counts for the interest taken in the mat
ter by the chamber Of commerce.

SATURDAYS MARINE DISASTERS
Steamship New York Pulled off by
Powerful Tugs.

New York, March 1.--Saturday's ma

ping people plenty to talk and worry
about today. The fog lifted this MORN
ing, but drizzling rain kept up all day.
After her collision with the Ailsa, the
La BourgOgne anchored in the lower
bay, and this morning Captain PerrOt
decided to put back to this city. This
was done as a precautionary measure
and to allay the fears of the passen-
gers. AS soon as the big vessel was
locked a force Of men set to work
placing a new plate on the starboard
side near the stern. The plate was four
feet wide by Is feet long and three
eighths of an inch thick. These repairs,
it was said, were only made as a matter
of precaution, as the vessel did not
seem the worse for her collision with
the Ailsa. A bulletin was posted to
that effect.
