APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Only Two Now Remain to be Passed
by the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-two ap
preparation bills only remain to be
passed by the House to complete the
list for this Congress. They are the
naval and general deficiency, and both
of them will probably be reported to the
House tomorrow.
There is talk among the House lead
ers Of passing the deficiency bill under
suspension of the rules, as the sundry
civil bill was disposed of to prevent the
House from attaching any amendments
to it which would increase the total.
A contest is on in the Appropriation
Committee over the proposition to in
clude in the bill an item of 81 300, 900 to
pay the Southern Pacific Railroad a
judgment of the Court Of Cfaims for
services to the Government Payment
has been withheld of this sum to the
Government. Payment has been with
held of this sum on account of the al
legged connection of the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific by which the
money due to the former was credited
on the latters debts to the Govern
ment. The justice Of the judgment is
doubted by a part of the committee
and other members question the policy
of paying it at this time on account Of
the condition of the treasury.
The total of the navy bill is expected to
be about $33 10000 1t will include
an appropriation for continuing the i'm
provements at the Mare Island (Cal)
navy yard.

A HARD AND GAME FIGHT
That Between Dave Sullivan and
Patsy Haley.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-One of the
hardest and gamest fights ever seen in
ring took place this evening at the
Polo Athletic Club. The contestants
We're Dave Sullivan of Boston and Pat
sy Haley of Boston. They met for a
twenty-five round encounter at 1lJ
pounds, and both of them weighed in
this afternoon, neither of them turn
ing the scales at the limit. Haley at
one time looked like a sure winner, but
it was only for brief interval, as Sui
Ivan fought like a bull, and was a
glutton for punishment. His arms
worked like fails during the twelfth
and thirteenth rounds, and Haley was
unable to withstand the assaults upon
him.
The "unlucky'' thirteenth round was
the last, and Haley win have good
cause to remember it. He went down
twice from Sullivan's swings The first
time down he was nearly counted out,
but saved himself by a second. The
second time he went down he lay close
TO his corner on the ropes, and was un-
able to get up before the referee had
counted him out
There were about 5000 people pres
ent, and everyone of them went away
perfectly satisfied that he had seen the
fastest and hardest battle that ever
took place between bantam boxers in

WESTERN TENNIS PLAYERS.
For the First Time They Have an
Official Ranking of Their Own.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-For the first time
the Western Tennis Players have an
official ranking of their own. 1t has
just been finished by the special COM
mittee of three appointed by the West
ern Lawn Tennis Association for the
work. 1t will at once be sent and will
appear in the Lawn Tennis Guide" for
1897, in company with the ranking Of
the best Eastern men.
The ranking committee, consisting OF
S. T. Chase, President of the Western
Lawn Tennis Association, Everett
Wreen and Secretary James P. Gard
ner has been at work on the question of
the relative ability of the players for
over a week. Tournament records
We're relied upon exclusively to deter
mine the positions of the men, and in
consequence some of the best known
men experts who did not compete in the
championship events were left out of
the schedule The most notable case of
this kind was that of J. w. Carver, who,
although now holding the Northwestern
and interstate double championships with
l.. B. Waidner did not play in any Of
the Chicago tournaments in singles and
ItlCS 10 HOl IdHkeu. TOl d Slllliidl lCei-
son J. 4. Ryerson is likewise unplaced
Carr B. Neel, the Western and North
western champion is placed at the head
of the list, with George l.. Wreen, Jr.,
following him. The third man will
prove a surprise to many of the tennis
enthusiasts, however, since S. r. Neel
is ranked above S. T. Chase, fourth. G.
X. Belden is fifth.
This official ranking of the Western
players will hereafter be made an an

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
An Aged Man Fatally Injured at Oak
land

OAKLAND, Feb. 17.-William Jones,
an invalid % years of age, was struck
by the west-bound broad-guage local
train at Seventh and West street about
9:45 O'Clock this morning, and sus-
tanned injuries that will in all proba-
bility end his life.
The old gentleman left his home at
1I0 Sixth street this morning to secure
some milk for his morning meal. He
was a little hard of hearing and when
he started to cross the track did not see
the down train approaching.
AT the point where the accident oc-
CURED the track runs dangerously near
the side walk, and two flagmen are al
ways stationed at the crossing.
The unfortunate old man stepped out
onto the track, and before he could
move one step the rapidly moving train
had run him down.
1t is impossible for an engineer to see
more than forty yards of the track at
Seventh and West streets, and when
the f1agman gave the clear track" sig
nal the train crew thought all was
well.
Jones was struck by the engine ten
der and hurled a distance of thirty feet
clear out of the path of the train. He
was picked up unconscious and taken
to the Receiving Hospital. Here the
injured man was given all possible aid
by Drs. StTatton, Porter and Hunting
ton
The physicians found a bad fracture
Of the skull at the base of the brain
that will, in their opinion, cause death.

TOO MUCH SNOW ON THE GROUND,
PREVENTS CORBETT BEGINNING
OUTDOOR WORK.
Julian Has Not Yet Found Suita-
able Place for FitzsimmOnS
to Train.

CARSON CNev.), Feb. 11.-When Cor
bett arose this morning he was sur
prised to find nearly ten inches of snow
on the ground and while the champion
is anxious to be at his quarters at
Shaw's Springs he will not go out until
the weather clears up.
In the meantime he has to be con-
tent with playing pool and taking
dumbbell exercise in his room.
The special writer's for the big news
papers continue to come in by every
train, and everyone connected with the
fight has to bear a continual running
fire all day from them.
Martin Julian, FitZsimmons' manager
and brother-in-law, arrived here last
evening in search of training quarters
for his principal, but up to the present
time has not found anything to suit.
He stopped off at Steamboat Springs
on his way up, but was not satisfied
with the place, and will endeavor to
secure a quiet spot in the immediate vi
cinity of Carson. 1t is understood that
he has made partial arrangements with
a private family in the outskirts of Car
son and matters are now merely resting
until terms can be arranged satisfac-
torily to everyone.
Betting in small amounts has COM
menced, and is even as a general thing,
with the exception of 5000 which Jim
Corbett placed against $1O0 last even
ing.
After visiting his training grounds,
Corbett went to the operation and
commenced training for an hour or two
First he wrestled with McVey fifty
minutes, and did some rapid work with
his brother Joe, and then spared fifteen
rounds with Billy Woods. He then
went to lunch, and consumed enough to
last an ordinary man a week.
Delaney, White, Jeffries and Brady
will all be added to the Corbett train
ing staff at an early date.

AN INNOVATION.
A Church Fair in OkIahoma-Every-
thing "Perfectly Square,"

Brethren and sisters said the Rev.
Jack Jonks, the well-known Oklahoma
divine, relates the New York Herald"
Il am requested to announce that the
ladies of the church viii give a fair
and festival at Tilligan's Hall next
Thursday evening, to which everybody
is invited.
Il will further say that everything
will be square and above board on that
occasion. I have been moved to insist
upon this innovation because of the
numerous kicks which have been regis
tered since the last event of this char
acter. Certain of the brethren, espe-
cially those who have but recently be-
come members of the church and have
not yet forgotten their worldly wisdom,
have been complaining that there was
was reciprocity in the various catch
penny devices and games of chance at
the last festival, and they are empha
tic in their proclamation that while
they do not object to running up
against any legitimate hazard for the
good of the cause, they decline to par
ticfpate in any more lead-pipe cinches.
Il will therefore add that at the COM
ing festival the grab-bag, fish-pond,
weighing machine and kindred devices
for replenishing the treasury will be
under the direct supervision of Curly
Conroy. the gentlemanly and accom-
plished dealer of faro at the Blue Ruin
Fortune Parlors. In kindly agreeing
to superintend these devices Mr.. Con-
roy pledges his professional honor that
every visitor who puts down his skads
will at least have some show for his
money. and that his part of the even
ing's entertainment will be conducted
in the same unprejudieed and impartial
way that chara acterizes his work a the
