Prize Fight Pictures Ruined.

New York Spccial.-1f the state
mcnts made by f. J. Rector, the
kinetoscopc promoter, who secured
the privileges for making pictures OF
the late unplcasanJncss at Carson,
arc to be believed, the state lcgisla-
lures arc throwing away their time
when they legislatc against fight
pictures. Mr.. Rector is in cloud Of
dependency, such as only an anna
tcur photographer is able to conceive:
After having run the gauntlet and
paid the freight, he finds that the
pictures are worthless, merely black
and white spots on a lot OF elastic
film. The films were sent to the
Edison labratory in Orange, n. j.,
70: development, and, from some
cause, they came out looking like
the work of a novice. 1t is thought
now that it will be impossible to get
any pictures at all of the fight which
will be Of any use in the kinctoscopc
Mr.. Rector says that bids for tine
right to make llinctoscopc views o

and the Sandwich Islands, but tina

Senator Allen Must Work Harder.

Nobody who remembers the Ia
mcntablc fall Of the Hon. William
Alfred PETER from the seat OF power,
on account Of his failing to make
more than 429 speeches during nc;u-
" six years in the senate, can refrain
from feeling a lively concern for the
Hon. William Vincent Allen, another
nopulist of fame and senator in con-
orcss from Nebraska. Tuesday Mr..
Allen made a feeble pretcnse OF in
dustry and introduced eighty -lour
bills in the senate. Does he think
that his constituents sent him 10 con
gress to do nothing? Docs he think
that they are going to be satisfied
with a bcygarly cighty-four bilis
day? They expect him to work hare
and to think all the time. A pop1l.
list senator Of ordinary powers ane
industry ought to be able to produce
not less than 125 bills every working
day. a populist senator who canno'
maintain that average ought 10 &c
sign. lie doesn't know his business
Is this world SO satisfactory TO Mr.
Allen that he cannot find in it a
least $50 things Il week which ncc'
to be changed, shaken up and I'M

everything. That is the programm
for a popu]ist lawmakcr VINO
: worthy Of his trade. inc Hon
William Allen may mean particularl
we'll, but it is clear that he clthc
