BOB AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
Licked sharkey in Five Minutes
 Left on Body, Right on Jaw.

The Fitzsimmons-sharkey fight ended just as majority of Pine BIuhians expected. Fitzsimmons was the fa4orite everywhere, at odds of two to one, but the sports were surprised at the brief battle. as mo person thought that Fitz would frlsh his man in two rounds.
 h the fight Fitzsimmons. as us- uaI, outgeneraled the sailor and checked his rushing tactics at every attempt. He proved bis superiority over hum early and often, aud ham. mered the former powerful Sharkey down to helpless mass of flesh and bones. He tried to rise, but the blow on the body and jaw delivered by Fitz, together with many pre-. Yious ones, were too much for Tom, and he was counted out. It took Fitz just five minutes to demon strate to Sharkey that he was his master in every way, shape and form.
 The Western Union received the fight by rounds direct from the ringslde at HoIlahd & Lampert's roof garden, Mr. Lee Morris being in charge Of this end of the line. There were several hundred local sports there, but very little betting was done, as everything and every body was on the Fitz side of the fence. The roof garden is being re modled and built on the lower floor. It will be handsomely furnished and made one of the prettiest summer gardens in the country.

BOOK OF MESSAGES.
senate Com mittee Reports ON "Commit-
tee Of Distribution" scheme.

Washington, May 22.-The Senate COM
mittee ON printing today made a report of
investigation of the compilation and
publication of the messages and papers
of the Presidents. The committee find
that Representative Richardson devoted
four years to compiling and indexing the
papers. 1t Is not to be doubted, they
say, that his labors were most assiduou-
and that they consumed during this
period great amount of his time.
1t is also stated that he expended s3, 600
of his own funds in securing assistance
in preparing the index. With reference
to the claim of copyright the committee
say that Mr.. Richardson does not claim
that it operates against the govern
ment, but only rs against all other pub
fishers that it protects the form of the
publication, the illustrations and origi-
nal matter, though none of the docu-
ments themselves. Your committee think
that copyright should not have issued
i'm behalf of the messages and that the
law as it stands is sufficient to deny
copyright TO any and every work, once
issued as government publication. If
the services Of any author or compiler
employed by the government require to
be compensated, payment should be
made in money and the resulting book
or the publication should be always at
the free use of the people. The COM
mittee say the donation of the plates OF
the work to Mr.. Richardson was miss
take and placed Congress in false po-
sition. The committee pronounce Rich
ardson's contract with Publisher Barcus
unobjectionable.
Mr.. Richardson's receipts have amount
ed to si1, $50.
In conclusion the committee say that
no additional legislation is necessary,
but they recommend that in the future
Congress shall not place the control of
the pl ates of government publications
in private hands.

Opening Of the Chamber Of Deputies
Yesterday.
Mr.. Rousseau Takes
Bull by Horns.
Combined Opposition Has 226
Votes to 274.

Paris, May c2.-The result Of today s
proceedings in the chamber has abun-
dantly justified NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau
In taking the bull by the horns and call
ing upon the deputies to declare them
selves before the country with reference
TO the government.
The government, with a view OF
forcing the hand of the nationalists, had
NJ. Gouzy, one of the governments sup
porters, raise an Interpolation, thus Civ
ing the premier an opportunity TO state
the governments policy clearly.
NJ waldeck- Rousseau by emphatically
declaring that the government was op-
posed to re-opening the Dreyfus agita-
ton, after the exposition, has taken a
strong weapon from the hands Of the ma
tionalists.
The divisions on NJ. Gouzy's motion
brought out the position of parties In the
chamber. The first portion of the resolu-
tion, which divided the chamber into
republicans and antirepublic ans,
showed 40 of the former and SO of the
latter, the second portion which indicated
the position of the Waldeck- Rousseau
ministry itself showed PA min isterialists
while the combined Experimentation
alists, disaffected republicans and reac-
tionaries-totalled 226.
After the voting the mini sterialists
confidently declared that the government
would not be safe until after the exposi-
tion. Today's division has cleared the air
and no subsequent votes ON secondary
matters will cause the cabinet to resign.
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau can prorogue the
session within three weeks, as it can be
legally closed on June 9, and the govern
ment would then remain in power until
autumn.

Maud Hupley.

Boston, May 29.-Notwit 2 landing the
medical examiners report that an autop-
sy revealed no evidence of a criminal
operation in the case of Ella Maud Hun
ley, the Gloucester girl who died Sunday
at the residence of her aunt on Walkhill
street, West Roxbury, after having been
brought by an unknown man in a hack,
the police are using every effort to find
the stranger and clear up the suspicious
circumstances that surround the case.
The hackman who carried the girl and
her companion to the Walkhill street
house was found today and told the police
that he took them from 95 Warwick
street, but he was not able to give the
name of the man who engaged him.
This afternoon George G. Fowler of
East Boston was arrested at the Warwick
street house, where he was found pack
ing up the furniture preparatory to NOV
ing it, but he explained his actions sttis-
factorily to the police and was dis

These people have left the house and as
Mr.. Drew's description taIlies closely
with that of the man in the hack and
Mr.. Matthews is said to resemble another
man who figures prominently in the
case, the police are searching for them

PENNA. ACQUIRES LEHIGH
Another Big Consolidation ofAmeriesn
Railways.

Philadelphia, May 22.-Ths Evening
Telegraph today publishes the following;
Announcement Is made today that
the Pennsylvania railroad has secured
practical control of the Iehigh Valley
railroad by the purchase Of sc, 600 shares
of stock through outside parties, In the
same manner that controlling interest
was obtained in tho Baltimore & Ohio
the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the Norfolk
& Western. The figure given on the
stock purchase Is s32.50 a share.
"It was stated the first week in April
that the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania were close partners in an
important railrpad transfer movement
and that the division Of the hard and soft
coal territory in this state and West Vir-
ginia was the object in point. To secure
the Lehigh Valley has been the aim on
the New York Central and the Pennsyi-
vania, and it is acknowledged today that
the Pennsylvania has obtained practical
control through the agents OF W. X.
Vanderbilt and ]. Pierpont Morgan.
THE New York Central is said to be
the real power back of the movement
which ended today in the purchase of Co.
600 shares of Lehigh Valley railroad
stock, as under the constitution OF the
state OF Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania
railroad cannot absorb n competing or
parallel road. Through the Pennsylva-
MIA, Schuylkill Valley and Northern
Central, the Sunbury and Hazleton
branches and the Nanticoke branch, the
Pennsylvania competes in Lehigh Val
ley territory ON direct terms.
"As In the Long Island deal, the
Chemical National bank of New York, is
the direct agent, and the figure given at
s3s. 80 per share Is declared to be CORRECT.
John p. Green, first vice-presldent
of the Pennsylvania railroad, said he had
heard Of the statement, but would not
confirm 1t. President Cassatt could not

FRENCH PARLIAMENT.
The Dreyfus Trouble Revived at OPEN
ing Yesterday.

Paris, May 22.-The French parliament
opened today. The chamber of deputies
was crowded and all the cabinet ministers
were present.
NJ. Paul Gouzy, radical socialist, inter
pellated the government on its general
policy.
The premier, NJ waldeck- Rousseau, ac-
cepted the Interpolation and asked for
its immediate discussion. NJ. Gouzy ex-
plained that he desired to interpellate the
government in order to clear the situa-
tion. The speaker pointed out the over
whelming majority recently cast for the
government throughout France, except
in Paris at the municipal elections, and
said the present was an opportune mo-
ment for the chamber to endorse this
support of the ministry, who should in
form the chamber what they intended
to do in response to this republican dem
onstration.
NJ. Paul de Cassagnac, conservative,
followed with speech strongly attacking
the government; but he said he did not
desire its fall because it's policy was hav-
ing the effect of disgusting the country
with the republic.
NJ. Waldeek- Rousseau then replied.
The premier said the Paris elections
were truly rebuff for the republican
idea, but, he added, the electors of the
provinces had acclaimed the republic.
Abiding to the Dreyfus agitation, NJ.
Waldeck- Rousseau said the pardon of
Dreyfus was an act of humanity, In
partloning Dreyfus, he pointed out, the
government undertook at the same time
to end the agitation and, by the amnesty
measure, prevent reprisals, thus giving
France needed peace.
NJ Waldeck- Rousseau concluded with
saying the government would ask the
chamber TO vote a law providing protec-
tion against calumniators of the chief of
the state and law dealing with religious
associations whose vested properties could
not be allowed TO swell in order to fur
nish the adversaries of the republic with
their war funds.
The government programme, he fur
ther announced, included laws for educa-
ton, direct taxation and workingmen' 5
pensions, adding that If the programme
did not secure a majority, he would leave
to his successor the work of seeking it 5
realization.
The premier announced that he would
accept the order of the day, proposed by
NJ. Gouzy, eouehed as follows;
1.-The chamber is resolved to energeti-
cally pursue a policy of reforms and the
defense of the republic and laity and ap-
proves of the declarations Of the govern
ment.

Lynn, Mass, May 2s-Hon. Amos
Franklin Breed, one of the leading
business men of this city, died at his
residence ON Union street, this evening,
after four weeks illness, of diabetes.
He was 60 years of age and since early
life he had been identified with the

numerous occasions with offices of trust
and for many years the leader in street
railway affairs in Essex county. Mr..

adopted and by vote Of fB TO -, and the
second and crucial portion was adopted
by 27f to 296 votes.
Several resolutions dealing with the
threatened revival Of the Dreyfus affair
were submitted. One, introduced by NJ.
Gustave Chapuis, radical, invited the
government vigorously to oppose re
newal of the Dreyfus agitation. This
gave rise to some debate.
NJ. Chapuis explained that his inten-
tion was 10 empower the government to
prevent n re-opening of the affair.
M. waldeck- Rousseau then repeated his
declaration that the government was
determined to end campaign that was
disastrous TO the country and to republi-
can government.
NJ. Alphonse Humbert, radical socialist,
called attention to the present revelations
by the Eclair and invited the govern
ment to reply to the accusation that the
Temps had been working for the Dreyfus
party. He created a violent tumult by
declaring that the government had been
an "accomplice in the miserable work
which consists In playing the game Of the
enemies of France"
NJ waldeck Rousseau intervened de-
claring that the government wished to
record a formal indignant protest against
the allegation Of NJ. Humbert.
The premier went ON to explain that all
agents had received formal orders not to
depart from their official functions. The
alleged documents referred to by the
EcIair had been offered, he said, to the
managing director OF the Temps who had
laid the matter before the minister Of
war
NJ. Humbert, however, insisted that
neither the premier or the minister of
war had shown that the Temps had not
meddled in the affair in the interest OF
the Dreyfusards and he declared that
there existed at the ministry of war
letters from the Temps the object of
which was to revive the Dreyfus agita-
tion.
This fiat contradiction provoked an up
roar, drowning the remainder of M.
Humbert's 5 speech.
When order was restored the president
Of the chamber submitted the resolution
Of NJ Chapuis with an addition by Nj.
Camille Krantz, republican, In these
words; ''And no longer allow detectives
to place themselves at the service Of
private interest"
The motion of NJ. Chapuis without the
proposed addition, was adopted by 4S'
votes agninst IS. The chamber then ad-
journed until Monday next.

g.. 200 STOLEN IN PORTO RICO.

Washington, May 2l.-Conc erning the
loss of money through theft in Porto
Rico, it is now known that the defaulting
clerk is Sherman Bristow, u young man
related TO the chief clerk Of the Cuban
department, but not related to the fourth
assistant postmaster general. He was
stationed at Ponce and abstracted 81, 200
from the revenues of that Office. There
was no law under which the clerk could
be prosecuted criminally. Only small
portion of the money was recovered from
his bondsmen. When the law was adj
justed, Bristow had removed from the
jurisdiction of the island. He has not
been reappointed to the service ut any
point.
