MCCORMICK SHOWS FIGHT.
Kansas Congressman Threatens to
Meet Another Outside the Capitol

[From the New York Journal
Washington, March 25.-Until within
the past few days no one dreamed that
there were fire eaters in the new
house of representatives. But the lie
was passed between two members
few days ago and seconds were called
in. Then an indisereet word dropped
led to an investigation by two of the
older members of the house, and the
new men were forced to forego their
exciting pastime for a time at least.
This affair of honor was just being
settled by the peacemakerS when the
fighting spirit broke out in another
quarter, and for a few minutes another
appeal to the code was imminent. This
time the trouble arose between Captain
B. B. Dovener (Rep., w. Na.) and N.
B. Mccormick (Pop., Kan.).
Mr.. Mccormick is a large specimen
of manhood and is a new member Cap
tain Dovener is a small man and is
serving a second term
Il was late last Saturday afternoon
and the roll was being called on one
of the Appropriation bills. Mr.. McCor-
mick wanted to vote, and the rule re-
quiring his presence in the chamber
during roll call was being explained
Captain DOvener called to over Mr. Nc
Cormick as he was trying to secure
recognition that he had no right TO vote
This angered the Populist gentleman
and some heated words were passed
Finally the Populist representative
shouted:
L will meet you outside the CAPT
toli''
IAN right" shouted back the little
West Virginian, 'at any time and any
place you may name. Your size will
make no difference
A moment later the West Virginian
Iimped down the center aisle, for he
carries q bullet in his left leg, and
marching up to the Kansan, said:
What did you mean, sir, by your
remark about meeting me outside the
building?"
OH replied the Kansan, Il meant
that I would meet you in debate.
Repre- sentative Mahany, who sat
near, burst out laughing at this reply
and introduced the two gentlemen,
who shook hands and made up, though
the West Virginian insisted he was not
afraid.

Fort Thurbsr Removed.

Washington, March 29.-"Fort Thur
ber.'' the sentry box which was erected
at the suggestion of Secretary Thurber
at about the time of the CCxey army
scare, was removed today from the
White House grounds. The little dog
house was an eyesore, and every one
would have been glad to see it removed
the day after it was put up Secre-
tary Thurber thought the policemen
who stood guard over President Cleve-
land day and night should have some
shelter from the wind and rain, and he
caused the sentry box to be con-
structed.

BIG NUGGET OF PLATINUM.
Its Weighs Nearly Two Pounds and
is Worth About $3.50.

New York, March 29.-There is on ex-
fibition in the Office of Baker & Co.
platinum refiners, at 121 Liberty street
a nugget of platinum, the largest in this
country and the second largest in the
world. Like all nuggets of metal it
is irregular in form, measuring roughly
8 by pa inches and weighing nearly
two pounds. No analysis has yet been
made of it and its value therefore is
not known accurately, but by taking
its specific gravity it has been decided
that the nugget is about IS per cent
pure, making it's intrinsic value about
$3.50.
The nugget came from the interior
of the United States of Colombia, one
of the two sources of supply in this
hemisphere.
The deposits in Colombia are located
about 300 miles from the coast, and the
central town of the district into which
all of the product ultimately comes is
Buena Ventura.
