STEAM SUPPLY HOUSE
Scheme Suggested for Doing Away
With So Much SNAKE

The rise in the price of coal and the in
Junction suit by citizens Of the Sedgwick
block against the smoke stack Of the
Peerless laundry, which. II might be men,
toned has been very satisfactorily set
tied, Mr.. Selover changing his fuel to
coke. 1t has been suggested by a num-
Der Of business men that the city council
would willingly grant a franchise to some
concern that would undertake to supply
steam for engine power through pipes
over the city from some central point.
The matter win be looked into and It is
probable that the gas company will take
hold OF the scheme. This will do away
with smoke at so many places and be
great saving of fuel

WRESTLING MATCH TONIGHT.
Gus DOring and Charles Wittmer at
Catch-as-Catch-Can


What promises to be one of the best
athletic attractions offered at the Palm
Garden theater this season, is the wrest
ling match between Gus Doring and
Charles Wtttmer, scheduled for this even
ing. Both men have been training as.
Siduously for the contest and as they are
regarded as evenly matched, en- exciting
contest is expected. The match will not
be an exhibition only, but a genuine
struggle for supremacy between strong
men skilled in the science of wrestling
Tor purse of $15, put up by the Palm
Garden management and side bet of 800
each Both contestants have deposited
their money. The match must go to q fin
1sh Tor decision and in order that ample
time may be given the wrestlers, time
will be called for the first bout PROMPTLY
at o'clock Catch-as-catch-can rules
will govern the contest ard the winner
must secure two out of three falls Fly
ing falls and the strange hold are barred.
Gus Doring is a member of the local
salvage corps, and besides possessing
great strength, has had much experience
on the mat having gone against some Of
the best wrestlers within the last two
years. Wittmcr, who works IN a West
side foundry, is said to be a giant in
strength and gained his knowledge CT the
wrestling game from the invincible Dan
Mcleod, whom he frequently assisted in
training. Wittmer will have something
the better of the matter of weight, going
on the mat at IT'S pounds, while Doring
weighs 1872 pounds. Each man is con-
lident of success and when they get to-
gether for the money at stake the con-
test can hardly be without interest and
excitement
After the wrestling match there will be
a sparring bout between Sullivan and
49,
| as FoferI is a giant beside Sullivan. The
little fellow is handy with the gloves,
however, and says he is not worrying
over his opponents size.

SENATORS CAUCUS.
Republicans, Democrats md indie
pendents Discuss Committees

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Three caucus
es were held in the senate end of the
capitol today. They were under the
auspices respectively of the Republican,
the Democratic and the independent SEN
atorS the last named including the Silver
Republicans and the POpulists, and each
considered the reorganization of the SEN
ate committees. In each instance the de-
tail work was referred to special COM
mittees
Senator Allison was empowered by the
Republican caucus to select committee
Of nine to confer with the opposition and
make the apportionment of members.
There was a suggestion that the Re-
publican representation on committees
should be In proportion to the Republican
membership of the senate, and in reply
to a question Senator Allison said that
the Republicans numbered about five
eighths of the entire senate.
After some discussion the suggestion
was abandoned because of the effect that
such demand in the senate would have
upon the house, where the Republicans
have proportionately a much smaller ma
jority. There was, however, a general
understanding that the Republicans
should have q clear majority on all COM
mittees.
Senator Hale moved a committee on the
tnsular possessions Of the United States,
and upon the suggestion OF Senator Logo
agreed to amend his motion so as to pro-
vide for two committees, one to cover
Cuba and the ether to include the affairs
of Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The motion was referred to the pro-
posed committee on committees. but no
disposition was made upon a suggestion
| made soto voce by Senator Mason that
| he, Senator Hoar and Senator Hale
should be given places on the proposed
Philippine committee. The conference
really relegated the whole subject to the
committee on committees, which Senator
Allison promised to appoint promptly.
The Democrats transacted no business
beyond the unanimous selection of Sem
ator Jones, Of Arkansas, as chairman of
the caucus, to succeed Senator Turpie,
and the authorization of the chairman to
appoint committee TO confer with the
Republican committee on the reorganiza-
ton of the standing committees.
The independents agreed to act with
| the Democrats in the organization Of the
senate and Senator Pettigrew was ap-
! pointed TO act as a member Of the minor
! ity COMMITTEES or committees. This COR
ference was attended by all the Silver
Republicans and Populist senators, Of
whom there are eight.
