The state board of railroad
commissioners believe that the
passenger and freight rates of
this state should be reduced rs
per cent and have called upon the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern companies to meet them on
the first of March to show cause
why such reduction should not be
made. By some it is claimed
that the board has no power to
make the roads come to time
but it is evident that the board
proposes to make an earnest eff.

Washington, June S.-By the decisive
vote of 40 to 10 the senate today maze
an amendment to the tariff bill. plac-
ing raw cotton. the great product OF the
south, on the dutiable list at 20 per
cent ad valorem.
1t is the first time in the history of
tariff legislation that a duty on cotton
has been Incorporated in a bill.
The amendment was proposed by Mr..
Bacon. (Dem. GAP, on his individual
responsibility and without the approval
of the finance committee, which thus
far has been requisite to the success
of every amendment except a minor
one which went through by default.
The amendment led to a spirited de-
bate, Democratic senators disclosing a
wide difference of views and at times
exchanging sharp personal criticisms.
con and Clay, of Georgia; McEnery, of
Louisiana: McLaurin and Tillman, of
South Carolina; and Rawlins, of Utah,
voted with the Republicans for the
Bacon amendment, while the negative
vote was solidly Democratic with one
exception, Kyle PoD)
The debate on cotton took I'D the
most of the day and but little progress
was made on the bill.
Early in the day the sugar schedule
was passed over and the agricultural
schedule taken up. The paragraph on
cattle went over, but the balance of the
agricultural schedule up to and includ-
ing paragraph 22S was agreed to, as re-
ported. all amendments except that OF
Mr. Bacon, being rejected.

New York. June S.-Among those who
are cOnsiderd to be authorities on pu-
gilistic matters in this vicinity, there is
a great difference of opinion as to the
outcome of the heavyweight fistic con-
test which is to take place tomorrow
night at the Palace Athletic club be-
tween Peter Maher and Thomas j.
Sharkey. Maher has three very de-
cided advantages He is three and a
quarter inches taller. has longer
reach and more ring experience and
science than the sailor man.
For the past seven weeks, Sharkey
has made his preparation for tomorrow
nights contest at Behm'S hotel, near
New Dorp, Staten Island.
Never did a pugilist prepare for a
contest more earnestly, carefully and
faithfully than Sharkey has. under the
guidance and advice of Joe Choynski,
Tim McGrath and Tom Lansing.
Choynski has been very exacting. and
he has found willing and docile pupil
in the sailor.
Sharkey has gone through the ordeal
splendidly. and his trainers and spar
ring partners speak of him in the high
est terms, and are unit in saying that
he will get the better of his country
man tomorrow night.
This was the last day of hard work
for Tom. He got up this morning at
8 O'Clock and took a mile walk before
breakfast After breakfast he took a
ten-mile run. and although the weather
was soft and the roads in bad cOndi-
ton, he returned to his quarters in
good condition. He rested awhile af-
ter this, and then took a short run
along the beach. At o'clock he en-
tered the gymnasium. and for an hour
and a half he had not an idle moment
He punched the bag, skipped the rope,
used the wrist machine and dumb
bells. Then he boxed a few rounds with
ChOynski and Lansing. He looked to
De in first-class condition, and there
was not an extra ounce of flesh percep-
tible. while his muscles stood out
prominently. When asked whether he
would win tomorrow night. he said:
Tell my friends in California, and all
over, that I never felt better in my life
and am confident of winning. If I
win 1 Will so after Bob FitZsimmons
again and I will meet him within
three months IF defeated l will have
no excuse to offer"
Joe ChOynski was equally confident
of the sailors success and said that he
had gone through his training much
better than he had Anticipated.
He now weight 173 pounds said
Joe, and is as fit as it is possible for a
man 70 be- He will not do any more
work until he meets Maher in the ring.
and 1 am satisfied that he will win
