GOVERNOR SADLER
SIGNS THE BILL
Prize-Fighters Welcomed
to the Sagebrush
State.
Rival Cities Already Striving
for the Corbett.FitzsimmonS
Contest.
Til, Executive Declares Pugilism
Mt half as Brutal as
Football.

CARSON, New, Jan. 29-The prize-fght
bill was signed by Governor Sadler at 2:02
O'Clock to-day and the news was on the
wire two minutes later. The promoters
of the scheme had arranged a signal by
which they could communicate with a
man in front of the telegraph Office.
After the pen which signed the bill was
laid aside the agent OF an Eastern paper
was on deck with a camera to take a
photograph OF the bill as it came from the
Enrolling Committee. He was not al
lowed TO do so, however. Govern or
Sadler, when asked his reasons for sign
ing the bill, said:
ut was passed by decisive majority in
both houses. L received telegrams and
letters from all over the State for and
against the bill and the petitions, letters
and dispatches stood about IS to l in favor
of the bill. Public sentiment is for it and
believe it will bring not only great
deal of money to the State, but it will
bring moneyed men here who will be able
to personally investigate our resources.
The license-$1000-1s high enough to
shut out every thing but the big affairs,
and the big affairs will because of the
high price of admission bring only the
better class of sports,
''Glove contests are taking place nearly
every day in the leading cities of the
Union. Men in all the walks Of life attend
them and they must enjoy them or they
would not pay to go. The East cannot
hold up its hands and call US wild and
woolly,' for New York, and even the
Quaker City have them. Glove contests
are not half as brutal as football"
What if they had attempted to pull the
fight off without passing the bill?"
Il should have enforced the old law, no
matter what it cost the State to do So
would you have called out the
troops?"
II IwouId if occasion called for such a
course"
"Will you protect persons who promote
fstic encounters in Nevada, should they
comply with the law?"
Yes. They will receive whatever Off
cial protection it is in my power to
grant"

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN UTAH.
Bartholomew Race of Goshen Kills His
Wife on Her Sick6ed and Then
Fatally Shoots Himself

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Jan. 29.-Bar-
tholomew Race of Goshen this State.
to-day shot and killed his wife and then
put bullet through his head with fatal
results.
Mrs. Race was sick in bed, having only
twenty -four hours before given birth to a
child. When the nurse temporarily left
the house, Race told his wife that he was
going to kill himself and that as he did
not want to leave her he had made up his
mind to kill her also.
The children say their mother pleaded
piteously for her life, but their father put
a pistol to her head and blew out her
brains and then turned the weapon upon
his own temple. The powder ignited the
bedclothes and the new born baby ana
the eight other children VINO were locked
in the room were narrowly saved from
cremation by the neighbors.

ARMoRBD EXPRESS CARS.

Congregational BIZ to Punish Train
Robbers With Death.
W. G. Curtis, engineer of maintenance
of right OF way of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, called attention to
the fact, yesterday afternoon, that the
United States was the only Government
in the world that permitted train rob-
berries.
"In Mexico" he said, (which is said to
be half-civllized country, they put SOL
diers on the trains when necessary, and
the National Government assumes the
responsibility of the pursuit, capture and
conviction of robbers, and the preve ntion
of train robbing. Imagine train robberies
in England, Germany. France or Russia
How many have you ever heard OF takln g
place in those countries? The Govern
ment does not permit such crimes"
Congressman Hubbard of Missouri has
recently introduced in the House Of Rep
resentatives a bill to impose the death
penalty for the crime OF train robbery. In
support of the bill he showed that during
the last six years there has been in this
country 1873 stoppages OF trains for crimi-
nal purposes, as result of which seventy
three persons were killed and fifty hit
wounded by shots. Last year alone there
were twenty-three hold-ups in which
thirty-two passengers and train men were
killed and many persons injured.
In regard to the bill Mr.. Curtis said !:
II do not approve of capital punish ment
for train robbery. That would make it
harder to secure conviction. Imprlson-
ment for life would, in my jud gment. be
better"
Following is the record by years of
railroad hoId-ups:

robbery, and that the suspects eluded
their followers and disappeared from The
city about twelve hours before the Rose
burg hold-up occurred. Both crooks are
well known and are being searched to-
high and low without success.
One Eastern drummer whose SAMPLES
were burned in the baggage-car claims
that his firm will lose not less than $lO,-

are made by different persons, but rail-

SOME PROBABILITIES

Habsna special says that the Ofhciai
Gazette publishes an edict signed by inc
military fudge, calling upon Evangelina
Cos!o y Cisneros to preseat herself for
term of fifteen days In jail and ordering al
civIl and military authorities TO endeavor
10 aprrehend her. and, II captured. to send
her 20 Habana Jail. The probabilities are
decidedly In favor of Miss Cisueros not
presenting herself for punishment under
the edlct. Moreover. 1t Is exceedingly
probable that no officer will attempt her
arrest. Another probability Is mat the
court would find itself very much en-
barrassed II either OF these things should
occur.
Indeed. the suspicion Is every day gain
Ing strength that the Spanish authorities
regard the departure OF Miss Clsneros
as a most happy radiance, and there are
not a few persons mean enough 10 IN
slnuate that the gallant knight OF the quill
who effected her rescue, and Weyler
or his representatives. would not come
to blows over the matter were they 10
meet. In short. there is very broad
intimatIon that the whole matter was a
''put-up job" to help the Spanish authori-
ties out OF a very awkward predicament
For the honor Of Amerl AN journalism,
we hope this is not the case. but II must
be admitted that on the theory OF prob
abilities. the intimatlon would appear
TO have some force. At the same time.
# must also be admitted that If the
knight Of the quill In question is not the |
object OF envy and Of unjust suspicion, |
his exploit was a most daring one.

THEIR BATTLE CRY.

"Hurrah for Hanna and honest cleo
tionsr'
This is. or ought to be, the hattle-cry
Of the opponents of the Virginia Demo-
cratic party.
When we remember how many white
men in this State were last year coerceG
or inundated into voting against Bryan,
it would seem that the friends and sup
porters OF Hanna's methods in Virginia
would keep silent about honest cleo
TONS" but they will not.
Well let them insist upon honest cleo
tons. We may safely pledge our people
10 secure and maintain a greater degree
Of honesty, fairness. and decency in cleo
tions than obtained under the Hanna
cratic regime.
But how people can praise Hanna's
work and then denounce Democratic dis
honesty we cannot understand.
