TroubIe In Little UnIy.

There was trouble in Little Italy" down
near the Union Pacific tracks, on South
Tw ieth street last igh'. Polo Cojtanza
lies at present in the city Jail, with lip
that is bitten nearly through, and his
brother Charles is at St. Joscph's hospital
with n broken leg. Polio is the owner of
two little shaclss near the tracks. one of
them he occupies, and the other he rents
to his brother Charles and another brother
named Phiilipo. Last night the rent was
due, and Polio told them they must either
pay up or be bounced. They preferred the
latter. Accordingly the brothers went at
each other tooth and nail, and the dust of
the battle rose to such n height that Of
ficor Haltcr's attention was called to the
matter. When he arrived Polio on
the floor, with Charles fastened to him
somewhat after the manner of "A bull terrier
to n rat. Phillip started to make his es-
cape over the tracks, but, stumbling, fell
and broke one of the bones in his right
leg. EC was made prisoner. While the
officers attention was confined to the in
jured men, Charles made good his escape.

proposition to print the governors message
was sat upon, a Cuban sympathy resolution
thrown out and further proposed new laws

fered the customary resolution requiring the

ulist Of Custer, who moved that the motion

timely slaughter by requesting that II lie
over one day under the rules. His request
was auiliied, however, by Mr. Haller, repub-
lican Of Washington. who made the point
of order that there was nothing in the sem
ate rules permitting a motion to lie over.
The president sustained the point OF order
and put the question TO a vote. The mo-
tion to lay on the table was carried but be-
fore the result had been announced Nlr. RAN
som Of Douglas asked for a division. His
request was not heard by the president who
announced that the motion had been laid
