HAENA'S AMBITION BALKED
Will Not Become a Member Of the
Finance Committee.
President Favored Him, But in Vain.
PIatt Likely TO Fill Vacancy Made
by Sherman's Resignation,

Mt Hanna will not be placed on the
Finance Committee. THIS much is set
tied and is about all the definite progress
that has been made in the matter OF
filling the vacancies. Mr.. Hanna was very
anxious to personally conduct the tariff
bin through the Senate, and announced
that to be his purpose before be came On
to Washington to be sworn in. The Presi-
dent favored Mr.. Hannas ambition and
would have been pleased il he could have
had him placed on the committee TO sue
ceed AIR. sherman.
The old members of the Republican steer
ing committee are opposed to the proposed
recognition of MI. Hanna Just at present
they seem inclined to favor Mr.. Platt
instead of Senator Burrows. Both these
gentlemen feel entirely in the mood OF
Barkis, and each ha 5 had friends canvaSsing
in his behalf. Platt's previous service on
the committee, and his residence in New
York, are both in his favor. Ii is pointed
out that New York has alwa VS. had men,
ber on the committee, when 1T was repre-
sented in the Senate 10y Republican.

WOULD TAX EDCCATION.
President Angel Objects 10 Tariff
on Books and Scientific Apparatus.

One provision Of the Dingley bill has al
ready come in for denunciation at the
hands of a very high authority. President
James b. Angel, Of Michigan University,
has filed protest aga inst the assessment
OF duty on books, philosophical and scientific
apparatus and instruments FOR college use,
which are free under the present law. Ia
a letter TO Senator Mcmillan, received to-
day, President Angel says:
Il am Informed that the Ways and
Means Committee of the House have stricken
out OF the free list the provisions for the
free entry of books, philosophical and sci
entific apparatus and instruments intended
for the use Of colleges, libraries and other
Incorporated institutions for educational
purpose need not say that such action
would impose a heavy tax on all the col
ieges and universities in the country, and
/ trust that the action of the committee
will not meet with your appreciation"
Promptly upon receipt OF this letter Sen
ator Mcmillan addressed a communication
to Chairman Dingley incloSing copy Of
President Anglers protest, and urging that
the WAYS and Means Committee make the
desired change before reporting the bin
TO the House.

tired

fifth round / wasn't hurt, as SOME people
thought, but he kind OF caught me Off my
balance a little and 1 couldn't keep my
feet. l could have got on my feet again
inside of a couple OF seconds, but that jab
in my mouth which cut my lip was fresh
one, and was bleeding freely, so 1 thought
/ would just take advantage of the oppor-
tunity TO rest a bit, and waited until Siler
had counted seven.
Il couldn't help feeling how disappointed
some people would be at the time, for
knew nearly every one in the arena thought
I was on the way out. Corbett didn' t
have any strength in his punches after the
seventh round, and those blows he gave me
did not cut much figure, and did not take
particular pains to get out of the way
when there was a chance for return.

Tariff Bill Not Ready-No District
Legislation Likely This Session.
The House met at noon and adjourned in
q quarter of an hour. The tariff bill, as
expected, was not ready to be reported
aud no other business was at hand. 1t was
stated as settled that the Ways and Means
Committee would be ready to report to-
morrow.
1t is reasonably certain now that very
little, if any District legislation viii he
done at this session. There is no District
Committee and no likelihood that there
will lie one District bills will be intro
duced, hut it will be something urgent and
meritoriOus that is passed and becomes a
law
The Ways and Means Committee con-
tinued its sitting without interruption by
the meeting of the House. IL will prob8-
bly continue its deliberations upon the
tariff hill through the remainder of the
day 1t will probably report immediately
after the morning routine In the House
tomorrow.
Major Mcdowell, Clerk Of the House,
has appointed g. W. II. ReiSnger, OF
Eeadville, Pa, newspaper clerk, in place
Of E. A Bempstead, resigned.

VIII Retire From the Ring.
San Francisco, March 1s.-In a state
ment TO the Examiner this morning FiZ-
simmons announced hs determination TO
quit the ring forever. He says:
Because of my wife and my baby, whom
love better than all the world, have
promised never to fight again. My only
object in signing for this last encounter
was to vindicate my honor and prove that
no man ever lived who could whip me in a
prize fight, be he great or small. This morn
ing before 1 went to the arena my wife
prayed on her bended knees thatI would
be the victor, and had it not been for the
semblance of hollow mockery to my God,
l would have joined her. In all my career
as a fighter have tried to be an honorable
man. and think this conquest over Gentle
man Jim will be remembered by every
self-respecting man and woman who knows
the story Of my case.

ing a little on the general impression cir
culated by my enemies that had been
fixed tolie down. 1.-THE truth were known,

Francisco combination to throw this fight

when the gong sounded and Referee Sller,

Drepared to enter into some occupation
more readily accepted by the public, and
will try to ornament society as / have
the profess sion which has been mine for
fifteen years, but which today I
discarded forever for my wife"
The Examiner also publishes a signed
statement from J. ]. COrbett, in which he
says:
The way matters stand 1t can be readily
understood that all of my arrangements
for the future are wrapped in doubt. Fitz-
simmons is the champion and | am the ex-
champion. L will do no further boxing until
L have convinced myself that all efforts to
get FitzsimInons into the ring again will
be fn vain. | will go about the thing in a
buSiness-like manner. 1 have plenty OF
backing Everyone of my friends who
smoke to me seemed to be satisfied with
the fight made. Considering that 1 was
ahead in every round until the fatal punch
came, it seems to me that another go be-
tween US would interest the sporting world.

1t an Accident.

mother OF James j. Corbett were COM
pletely shocked, and broke down on re-
ceipt OF the dishearteRing news of his de-
feat. Their grief was not occasioned 10y
their disappointment in Jim, but by their
sorrow for him. They knew he would
take defeat sadly to heart, and they
thought not so much what the world
would say as Of how he would feel. They
do not consider that COrbett has been
beaten; they say it must have been an ac-
cident.
mo matter what the conclusion OF the
fight was" said Mrs. Corbett, Il be-
lieve now, as l always have, that my
husband is the most expert and skillful
fighter in the world. / think there must
have been some accident in the fourteenth
round which gave the victory to the Cor
nishman."
