Fifth, those who think business can

The good people of Massachu-
sctts, it seems, wish to put Nevada
out of the Union because of its leg
islative act permitting prize fights,
and the Boston Advertiser suggests
that it can be done by a constitu-
tional amendment applicable to all
such cases. The Constitution of
of the United States, however, de-
clares that no amendment shall ever
be adopted which shall deprive a
State without its consent of "equal
suffrage IN the Senate" Aside from
this Nevada as sovereign State
has the right to legalize prize fight
cannot be interfered with in the
exercise of this right. One would
imagine from the tone of the Boston
Advertiser that such a thing as
prize fight had never occurred in
Massachusetts, but the truth is not

Boston being entertained by fsPar-
ring bouts" as they are called, be-
tween two bruisers who pound away
until one of them is knocked out.

fact that it was the birthplace of the
mighty John L. Sullivan. There is

.SHERHF isaac BROU.S-
.SARD.

St. Bernard Voice.
One Of the most efficient and
clever sheriffs Louisiana has ever
known is Hon. Isaac Broussard, of
Lafayette. The name is syn
onym of honysty, integrity and
noble citizenship; gentleman in
the truest sense of the word, no one
for truth, utter syllable to his dis
credit, while there are hosts of
those who can bear evidence to his
virtues.
Like almost every one who leads
an upright and exemplary private
and public life, possessing the most
noble traits of character, Sheriff
Broussard has mortal enemies, who,
actuated by envy, jealousy and
malice, have sought to assail his
unimpeachable reputation by circu-
lating all sorts of false and sea ndu-
lous rumors concerning his official
conduct. Pursuing the course that
any gentleman would have adopted
under the circumstances TO still the
calumnious tongues, he asked for
an investigation into his official life
by the grand jury of Lafayette,
which was accorded and he was
promptly exhonerated.
The aspersions cast upon Sheriff
Broussard by his enemies will only
tend to make him more popular and
elevate him to the estimation of his
fellow citizens-those who know his
true worth and appreciate his many
good qualities of head and heart.
The Voice was highly pleased to
note his vindication, which we al
ways felt was certain to follow the
examination Of the grand jury.

Missouri Pacific Held I'd.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov 13-The
Missouri Pacific passenger train,
known as the st. Louis fast mail,
which leaves Kansas City at p. m,
was held up by five masked robbers
at $3.50 o'clock last night at the Chi
cago & Alton crossing, just east of In
dependence, Mo-, and less than a mile
from the famous Blue Cut, in which
three train robberies have occurred
within the last year.
The robbers had evidently intended
to stop the st. Louis limited night ex-
press, which leaves Kansas City at
later hour, and were greatly surprised
upon discovering that the cars Which
they had captured contained nothing
of value. In their rage they pounced
upon the express messenger and went
through his pockets, but s2.S5 was all
they secured. After this they quickly
left the train and disappeared in the
darkness.

Good Reports From klondike.

TORONTO, Nov. ia correspond
ent of the Globe sends to his paper an
extended interview with William
Ogilvie, surveyor of the Department of
of Interior, who left for the Yukon
country October 10, 1895, and is now
returning. Mr.. Ogilvie reports there
are 100 claims on Bonanza creek ca
pable of yielding from $3.50, 900 to $780,
0G0 and thirty claims on Eldorado
creek that will no doubt yiled an aver
age of s1,000,000 each. These two
creeks, he says, form but small per-
centage of the placers already discov-
cred. The other streams in the vicin-
ity, though not quite SO rich, will rate
very high compared with anything
found in the country before The gold
bearing district extends at least 400
miles from the American boundary
and is at some places 100 miles wide.
Good indications have been found, so
it is said. to assert that the greatest
wealth, if not the richest individual de-
posits, is yet to be developed.

The Hawaiian Annexation Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Ratifca-

treaty by the United States senate is
assured. The administration has maGG

President Mckinley is satisfied that
more than two-thirds of the senate will
vote for the treaty

man Davis at the first executive ses-

up the treaty. Ratification during the
early part of the year is confidently
expected.
President Mckinley in his message
to congress will present as strongly
as possible the argument for annexa-
tion. He will show that the treaty
has already been ratified by the
Hawaiian senate, and that only the
action Of the senate of the United
States is required to add the island to

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 13.-The
cabinet was in session less than an
hour yesterday and transacted little
business of Importance.
There were some discussions con-
cerning sending the Bear to Bering
Sea and Secretary Gage said prepara-
tions were going forward as fast as
possible.
Departmental matters were consider
ed briefly. Before the meeting SEN
ator Platt of New York had a long
conference with the president, in
which the New York political situa-
tion was gone over and the senator
indicated what he would like to have
done in the matter of appointments.

Plenty OF Space Wanted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The COM
mittee on allotment of space and ap-
portionment of money for the gov
ernment exhibit for the Trans-Miss-
issippi Exposition held a meeting at
the Department of State. Two plans
for alloting space were discussed and
reported to the board. One plan gives
about $4,000 square feet to exhibits
and the other 1900. The first pro-
vides for exhibits along the center so
as to have wide aisle in the center
running the full length Of the build
ing. Either arrangement will, it is
thought, provide for a larger exhibit
displayed to better advantage than at
Atlanta or Nashville. In fact, several
departments ask for much more space
and much more money for the Omaha
exposition than was desired for the
two eXpositionS named. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the board to outdO any prev
ious effort. Many new exhibits will
be made that will be highly interest
ing and of the utmost value to the
student. The board will hold a meet
ing on the goth inst, when the report
of the committee on allotment of
space and funds will be acted upon.
Soon thereafter the departments will
begin to prepare their exhibits. The
committee is composed of Michael,
State department; Ravenal, Fish COM
mission, and True, Smithsonian In
stitution.
TIE CENTRAL PACIFIC.
Hon. William J. Coombs of New
York, who acted in an advisory capac-
ity to the government in connection
with the sale of the Union Pacific
railroad, is in the city for the purpose
of comforting with the attorney gen.
eral respecting the affairs of the Cen
trail Pacific. The conference is to take
place tomorrow.
Mr.. Coombs says he Is not aware of
what steps the administration will
take to protect the governments inter-
ests in the road. The full amount of
the governments claims approximate
es 45,000,000, and Mr.. Coombs be-
lieves the road will sell at it's full COM
mercial value. He mentioned the
Denver & Rio Grande, the reorganized
Union Pacific, the Central Pacific third
mortgage bondholders and stockhold-
ers, and the Southern Pacific Railroad
as corporations and interests
which might bid on the road were it
offered for sale at public auction.
Mr.. William Soloman, who it is said
represents the banking house of Speyer
& Co. of New York, had an interview
with Attorney General McKenna to-
day, presumably for the purpose of as
certaining the governments intention
the Central Pacific. Mr..
Soloman returned to New York as soon
as the conference was over and Mr..
McKenna declined to say anything re-
garding it for publication.
ASKED TO INTERVENE.
1t is not possible to confirm here
the statement coming from Berlin to
the effect that the United States has
offered to mediate between Germany
and Fayti in the difference arising
from the arrest of the German sub
ject. 1t is gathered that while no |
such proffer has been made, invita- |
tions have been made to this govern
ment to intervene without success.
