VIII Force the Republicans.

Washington, April 1.-THE Populist
members of the house have decided to
undertake the policy of forcing the Re
publicans to keep a quorum in the CITY,
Without a quorum to carry motion to
adjourn for three days it will be nee
essary for the house to meet every day.
representative Simpson says the Popu-
lists had expected the Democrats, as
the largest minority party, to insist
upon quorum, but as the Democrats
are divided upon their policy. the Pop
ulists will take the lead in opposing
the majority. After an informal con-
ference of the Populists, letters will be
sent to those of their own party who
are absent from the city, urging them
to return at once. There are % Popu-
lists in the house and Mr.. Simpson
asserts that he expects enough Demo-
Gratis will work with them to make an
effective minority. Mr. Reed is urging
members not to leave the city, and
the attendance today was unusually
large for a time when the house prac-
tically is not in session.

EASTER FAVORS.
Pretty Novelties Prepared For the
Cav Season That Succeeds Lent.

Pretty Novelties Prepared For the
Gay Season That Succeeds Lent.
The cotillion and dinner favors are
particularly attractive this spring, and
admit of variety of choice. Pink and
cerise are the favorita colors, though
delicate green holds it's own. The two
former are much used together, and
there are certain shades of these hues
which harmonic well. A novel little
box for an ice is a cup and saucer
made all in one and fashioned from
cardboard, white, hand-painted in
sweet peas, the edges scalloped and
tinted pink. The small handle is of
cerise satin ribbon.
Another similar receptacle is a heart
shaped cup decorated with bright-hued
blossoms and edged with gold
A dainty bonbon box is long and
narrow and covered in pale buttercur
satin. Two daisies and some buds are
painted at one end, while across the
other is tied a precise bow of narrow
yellow ribbon. held in the center by a
medallion-white, set in gold, and
within its rim a. pretty face with
jaunty hat resting on its broken locks.
Miniatures are the newest ornament
painted on all sorts of gifts. The latest
menu for dinner or luncheon is broader
than high, is of white cardboard and
has charming young face painted at
the left side, surrounded by a narrow
rim of gold, the whole giving the effect
of a framed miniature. Each card has
a different design.
Very taking are the cotillion favors
of tall directoire canes made of pine
wood stats rolled in colored balls.
These are tied near the top with gar
lands of roses, violets, snowballs or
orchids, caught by bows and stream
ers of satin ribbon two or three inches
wide Shepherds crooks are similar 20
these canes. only that they have the
curved top instead of the ball. Kites of
crepe paper are embellished with fancy
fittings of the same, and with a tinsel
preparation that shines and glitters.

~AGNEw-THoMPsoN FIGHT.

In the first and second rounds AgneW
did all the leading, Thompson content
ing himself with an occasional right
swing, which the Chicago lad easily
avoided. With the exception of a hot
right punch on the negroes jaw, Agnew
struck no very effective blows
Thompson adopted hurricane tactics
in the third, but after Agnew had
landed a right swing on the jaw and a
left punch in the wind, he again as
sumed the defensive. They got to-
Sether at close quarters, however. at
the end of the round and the gong
rang in the midst of a hot rally, in
which hOnors were easy.
The pace set in the third round was
too hot to last and the pair eased up
for wind IN the next. bur in the fifth
Agnew LANDED both hands on his CD
ponents jaw and Thompson visibly
weakened. He recuperated, however
and came up strong for the sixth,
swinging his right upon Agnew's ribs
half dozen times without return.
In the seventh Thompson again es-
sayed 10 rush matters, but soon tired,
and after receiving a hard right swing
on the jaw, clinched at every oppor-
tunity.
Agnew landed his right repeatedly
upon his opponents jaw in the eighth,
and the latter was unable to land one
of the swings he aimed in return.
Little was done in the ninth, but Ag-
new iabbed his left into Thompson

rang. -
Although some of his blows lacked
steam, AgneN was quick to follow UP his
advantage in Iae- f1th, and sent Thomp-
son under the ropes with hard right
on the jaw just as the round closed.
Thompson had TO be carried to his cor
ner.
Agnew sent his man down in the 18th
and upon regaining his feet Thompson
ran away, but Agnew followed him up
and knocked him down with right
swing
Thompson remained upon his knees
until counted out and, amid cheers, the
fight was awarded to Agnew.

The Agnew- Thompson contest. how
ever, divided the honors in point Of
fast fighting. Agnew put his man cut
in the twelfth round
Greggains and Steiner both show ed
up well, with slight advantage in ia
vor of the latter, as regards condition.
The first three rounds were slow. Greg
gains merely feeling of his man and
trying to draw him out. Except in the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
rounds, Greggains was the AGGRESSION
and had the best of the fight. He did
most of the leading, seldom falling to
land with his left hand jabs on
Stelzner's face.
For the first five rounds Gregeins.
who assumed the aggressive. had
everything his own way, apparently
landing at will upon Stelzner's face
neck, jaw and short ribs
In the sixth, however, Steiner
seemed more confident and landed one
or two effective blows. Honors were
easy for the next two rounds, but in
the ninth Greggains landed a hot left
punch on the jaw which made Stelz-
ner reel as the gong rang.
Stelzner was weak when he toed the
scratch in the tenth, and Greggains
went right after him, but the former
recuperated and punched Alex in the
jaw with his left
The next two rounds were Greg
gains, but in the 18th Stelzner became
aggressive and rushed his man to the
ropes. Greggains swung wildly and
Steiner landed several hard swings
and had his man almost out when the
round closed. In the next Steiner
sought TO end the fight, but the pace
began 10 tell on him and GreggainS
landed a left swing which put his OPP
ponent as groggy as he himself A
punch would have decided the contest
either way, but neither man had one
left.
Greggains was weak when he came
up for the 18th but game to the core,
and Steiner was unable to do any
thing effective. Near the end of the
round Alex landed a right swing which
sent Steiner to the floor When he
arose he was dazed and covered his
face with both arms and managed to
avoid his weakened opponent till the
gong sounded. From this on to the
20th both men We're weak and spared
