ADAMS ADDRESS.
Governor Adams said in part:
ITO increase the gold mining industry
is the purpose of this convention. While
local selfshness may have inspired the
call. the Importance of gold production
reaches beyond the interest of the miner
who mines it, or the state in which it is
found and becomes question wide
as human commerce and civilization.
More gold is the purpose of this as
sembly. and il is the only platform ever
presented 10 a congress Of delegates that
did not meet opposing votes
IF l read Colorado right our people
have not weakened in their devotion to
binetallism, they are today as true and

not abandoned or changed our faith
Because we hold a gold convention IS
no treason to silver: they are the twin
children from the womb Of our noun

PASTOR SEES A PRIZEFIGHT.
New York Preacher Attends the Mccoy
G'Brien Bout.

New York. May ga New York
preacher has witnessed a prizefight.
Ever since the Horton law went into
effect there has been controversy going
on in this city as to whether the sport
of boxing, fostered under its restrictions,
is elevating or the opposite. Many have
maintained that the brutality of prize
fighting has been done away with. 9th
ers have declared that inc ring as it ex-
lists today on Broadway, is, to say the
least. no better than the prize ring of
years ago. To satisfy himself. Rev.
Madison G. Peters attended the Mccoy
O'Brien fight last night, and has this to
say concerning it:
''Thel brutal exhibition may have been
conducted within the limits of the Hor-
ton law, but if two men standing up and
fighting until both are covered with
blood. and the loser knocked out until he
vomits blood-if that is not prizefighting
it is surely more than sparring for
points, and | want to know what has
become of the reform administration |
helped put in power.
"From the time the first hard blow was
struck until the end of the cruel en-
counter, blood was spattered over the
bodies of the two fighters in Il revolving,
sickening mass, and the more blood they
saw the more these several thousands of
men seemed to enjoy the fight. Yet Off
GERS of the law were stationed all about
the Palace Athletic clubs arena, coun-
tenancing and manifestly enjoying this
nvhibit;on -

HOXIE MUST STAND TRIAL.
Preliminary Proceedings in the Dis
barment Case at Grand
Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Wis. May 31.-lSp
cial. THE case of George NJ. Hoxie, the
Clintonville lawyer who was ordered to
show cause why he should not be dis
barred from the courts because of al
legged unprofessional conduct came up be-
fore Judge Webb in the circuit court here
this afternoon. The prosecution was rep
resented by Attorneys :. a. Council and
J. z. Thorn and the defense by Attorneys
Felker and Goldberg.
The prosecution filed its charges and
the defense asked that the matter be
dismissed on the ground that the court
commissioner who made the order requir-
ing HOXic to show cause why he should
not be disbarred lacked jurisdiction.
The court denied this motion and alSC
denied one made by the defense that the
trial of the charges be held at Waupaca
because it would be more convenient for
the attorneys and witnesses.
The defense filed its answer to the
charges and the judge issued an order
allowing the prosecution eight days in
which TO file its reply to the defendants
answer.
That was as far as the case could go
today and adjournment was taken until
Wednesday. June IS, at p. m.
The disbarment proceedings against
HOXie are the OutgrOWth of tn trial of
similar proceedings against Benz. NJ

related what he considered were dxtenu-
ating circumstances. Judge Fish, who
was on the bench. interrupted the Wit

had the power, he would disbar Hoxie

had been going on before the vessel
struck. The players said smoke curled
from the deck beneath them, and two or
three Of the occupants of the room made
Il rush for the doorway
One man, with rare presence of mind
blocked their exit and pointed out the
disastrous result that might follow an
alarm. The men went below and found
the cooks trying to eXtinguish the blaze.
The captain and officers were having
their attention wholly occupied by the
other trouble into which the steamboat
had found her way and they did not know
OF the more threatening danger. Can't.
Lynch knew of it few moments later
when passenger who had his family on
board made his way into the pilot-house

could not be reached from the cookroom
and the passenger urged that the crew
be called to fire quarters.

sediment not only has he found traces of
teeth. but also a large number of flakes
of composition only found in the HUI
man teeth. This, together with the
broken false tooth found by the police
