corner it was not allowing Joe to go at his
big v.s-a-vis more at the start. Jefries was
decidedly ratified when he entered the ring
and it was not until several rounds had
elapsed that he regained his natural color and
began to fight with confidence. Possibly the
idea of going against such celebrity as Joe
Choynski had this disturbing effect. once
Jeffries did extend himself, there were no
signs of white feathers about him.
Choynsk covered himself with glory and
has never shown up to such advantage. he IS
as clever and as quick as ever and last night
he fought the first calculating battle he has
ever been mixed up in. Contrary to his gen
eral tactics, he was not reckless for minute
and every round showed that he was feeling
his mans power like a past master.

court of which he gave official notice
to the president last April, took place
TO-DAY There was no formality attend

ent in the court room and as he had
not sat with the court on any day since
the opening day of the term. the pro-
ceedings did not differ in any respect
form those of ordinary days.
1t had been supposed that the general
transfer of the seats of the associate
justices, which always occurs when the
senior associate retires would take
place, but even this formality was
postponed until Monday next On that
day the Justice Harlan, who now
becomes the senior associate, will change
his seat from the left to the right side
Of the chief justice. taking the seat
vacated by Mr.. Fields and Justice
Gray will become Chief Justice Fuller's
neighbor on the left. All the other
justices will move up one chair nearer
the chief If Justice Fields term had
continued until next Tuesday he would
have had forty four years of continuous
service. Under the law he will draw
full salary until his death.

BAILEY EXPECTS LITTLE.
The Democratic House Leader Dis

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. Congress
man Joseph Bailey, of Texas the recog-
nized leader on the Democratic side of
the house, passed through the city to-
day en- route for Washington. He ex-
pressed his opinion that not much will
be accomplished by the approaching
session of congress, particularly re-
garding the currency question. There
is a possibility" he said, that the
house may take some action regarding
the currency, providing the president
sends message to congress recon-
merding the retirement of the green
backs and the conversion of non-in-
terest bearing government notes into
gold interest-bearing securities. Should
the president send this, such a meas
ure would doubtless pass the house,
but in no event would 1t pass the SEN

attempted"
