OPPOSE PRIZE FIGHTS.
Colorado Women can Upon the Gov
ernor to Convene Legislature.


DENVER, May 21.--The Denver wom-
ans club has gone on record In a petit
ton to the governor calling for an extra
session Of the Legislature to repeal the
prize fight law, which they declare an
outrage on three-fourths of the voters
of the state who are women, and there
fore opposed to the enactment of such
vicious legislation. AZ
The women seem to have been reading
the sporting columns, for. they preface
their resolutions with statements that
preparations now going on point to the
fact that there will be NO sparring in Col
orado,, as designed byi the Cannon law,
but that the bold, bad perpetrators Of
that innocent bill willfllly intend to hold
brutal fights, where the finish will depend
upon the capacity of the contestants. In
conclusion the club sets forth:
We, therefore, respectfully demand:
First, that his excellency, the governor,
If he shall call, an extra session of the
legislature, shall include In the call the
question of repeating this bill. And we
would respectfully suggest to his excel
lency that were there no other reason
for calling such a session this reason,
in our Judgment, would be sufficient Only
by a repeal can the states good name
in this matter be fully restored. Second,
in the event of there being no repeal, we
call upon municipal officers everywhere,
whose local ordinance or license may be
necessary to render the law specially
operative, either to refuse licenses under
this law or to make the fees required
for licenses SO enormous that none will
pay it." ~

became the acknowledged suitors and IA
vorites of the lasses several months ago
The young men have been close chums
from boyhood up and 1t was only natural
that when they became betrothed to the
two Dipcomb daughters they should ex-
change condolences and In time the four
young people decided upon a double we'd
ding. The wedding was to take place on
Thursday evening, and the young men,
armed with their licenses, put in appear
ance shortly after noon. Frank Benson
was to marry Frances while Mary was
the promised wife of young Rendiee
Frances greeted the young men gayly
when they arrived at the Dipcomb home,
but Mary was not to be seen. Her sister
later on found her in her room weeping
and disconsolate. Appealed to for an ex-
PLANTATION, she at length confessed be-
tween sobs that she could not marry Ren-
dice, because she loved Benson better
The elder sister replied that she loved
one of the young men as well as she did
the other. Mary limited at an exchange
and the two sisters eonfidingly talked the
matter over. Then, without a word to
the old folks, they called the young men
into council. The CONSERVATION and sur
prise on their part can we'll be imagined
The situation was carefully discussed,
with the astounding result that the ex-
change was agreed to all around Then
another complication presented itself.
The licenses had already been secured,
but the young men were quickly OH their
way to the county seat, where new
licenses were secured, and they reached
the Dipcomb mansion late in the evening,
when, for the first time, the guests were
acquainted with the cause of the delay
and the real situation as the two couples
were united in marriage by local minis

Jealous Rage of Kansas City Man
May Result In Triple Murder.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May A.-Levi
Moore, a clerk in the city market, shot
and probably fatally wounded Mrs. Jennie
Campbell, Mrs. Emma Lands and Mrs
Anna Neck early this morning in
jealous rage. The Campbell woman had
deserted Moore and this morning he went
to her house. When Moore demanded
his photographs Mrs. Campbell ran back
into the house. Moore sent a bullet into
her back, and the woman ran into Mrs.
Landis room for help. Moore fired two
shots at Mrs. Lands, one taking effect In
the abdomen. Mrs. Neck, awakened by
the shooting, arose from bed just as
Moore followed Mrs. Campbell into her
room. Without moments warning, he
opened fire upon her, one shot piercing
her back.
Moore ran from the house and down
the street, f1ourishing his revolver at a
crowd that followed. He shot at a negro,
but missed his mark, and was arrested a
moment later, when he snapped his empty
revolver at a policeman. All the women
are considered mortally wounded.

LONDON, May N-Mr Currie, London
manager of Richardson, Spence & Co. said
this afternoon: 81 am not yet In a posi-
ton to explain the mishap to the Paris
nor to apportion the blame. If any re-
sponsible agent of the company is on
the spot Investigating, the facts will be
known in due time. At present I only
know officially that the Paris ran on the
rocks at half-past 1 this morning In
thick drizzling rain. I rejoice that no.
body was even hurt. The cargo is now
being discharged on lighters, and the
prospects are favorable for saving the
ship If calm weather continues. I hope
she may be floated at high tide about
8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
admiral Freemantle's dispatch of two
gunboats to the scene is not the less ap-
preciated because of the fact that the
passengers, mail and baggage had already
been landed before their arrival Our
great desire now is to satisfy the passen-
gers of their future movements A large
proportion have already arranged to sail
by the st. Paul"
The news of the wreck spread rapidly
in London, and great excitement and
alarm was felt until the arrival of the
information that all on board were safe
The company's officers were besieged with
inquirers anxiously asking for news re-
garding friends or relatives on board the
steamer.
The agents of the American line have
sent a special train to Falmouth for the
steamers passengers. The mails of the
Paris will be forwarded by the North

The passenger list includes eighty-five
first cabin passengers; 109 second cabin
and 1872 steerage.
The steamer Bremen, Capt. Nierich.
which left the city of Bremen for New

MANILA, May 22.-u a. m.)-The Fill
pino commissioners, who arrived here on
Saturday to negotiate with the United
States commissioners, held a conference
this morning with Messrs Schurman,
Worcester and Denby. They say they
are without any power to bind the So

along the river are friendly.
Last Friday Maj. Kobbe took Santa

priest met the expedition with a white
flag. Delegations form San Nicholas and

Araya, came to him with the news that
800 insurgents, who had been holding both
places, had withdrawn. They invited the
Americans to enter, and as the members

The Filipino commissioners, with their
families, spent today in visiting friends in
Manila, and comforting with Senores Flor
entine Torres, Habilo Paterno and Theo-
dore Vancino, the members Of the local
Filipino assembly, who will participate in
the meetings with the American commits
sioners. Senor Torres was member of
Aguinaldos cabinet before the war. He
opposes independence and favors au-
tonomy. He has been foremost in per-
suading the Filipinos to accept American
sovereignty. He is doing the burden of
the talking for the Filipinos, and 1t is
Thought the terms they wish for include
an American protectorate, which they
talked of before the war. Sener Paterno,
who has succeeded the irreconcilable
Membino in the so-called Filipino cabinet,
is a scholar and a statesman. He is in
favor of autonomy. He drew up scheme
of autonomy with the Spaniards, which
the latter repudiated.s Paterno Is now the
strong man in Aguinaldo's party.
Most of the leaders of the insurgents
see that independence is hopeless and
wish for peace. There are those who want
money, thinking they can hold out longer
and harass the Americans.
On the suggestion Of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American commission,
the local members of the local Filipino
peace party have started q newspaper.

TRAGEDY A MYSTERY.
Widow and One Son Murdered and
Their Bodies Burned.

TOLEDO, O., May 2.-A mysterious
tragedy was enacted this morning at the
little village of Middleburg, Lucas county.
Mrs Rachel Austin and one son were
murdered in their home, and their bodies
were burned in the house where the deed
was committed. Ernest, the youngest
son of the woman, who was widow, is
lying at the home of neighbor with a
bullet wound in his chest, from which
1t is thought he cannot recover. The
crime is openly charged against Ernest,
but he states that he was called to the
door by robbers, who shot him, looted the
house, murdered his mother and brother,
and covered up their tracks by burning
the house. He reached a neighbor's house
I'm his night clothes, and has since been
unable to talk.
A servant who left the Austin home
last evening says the two young men and
their mother were then quarreling over
the property the mother declaring that
she would on Monday apply to the courts
for settlement, which Ernest declared
he would never permit.
