TIE CRUCIAL TEST
SHOWS GOfbEL SAFE


the minority report was then adopted
and Mr.. Van Meter was declared a
member of the House.
There was much wrath in the Repub-
licah ranks over the failure of E. B.
Hays, of Pulaski county, to vote. He
failed entirely to put in an appearance
at the State. House and was seen at the
depot few minutes before train ar
rived. After that the
Republicans Saw Him No More,
nor could the members of the campaign
committee locate him, although they
spent the afternoon in search.
Adjutant Collier hurriedly impressed
an engine on the Louisville and Nash
vile road and made flying trip to
Lexington in the effort to find Hayes
and bring him back. On reaching Lex
ington he was informed Hayes had
gone. He was compelled to return
without his man.
E. G. Sebree, the Republican cam
paign manager, declared last night that
the vote ON the contest to-day was a
crucial test of strength and expressed
himself as confident of at least fifty
votes for Berry.
The Democratic leaders without ex-
ception claim that the seating of Var
Meter foreshadows accurately the seat
ing of Goebel.
The House now stands so Democrats
including Van Meter and Speaker Trim
bic, and 40 Republicans. The Senate
rs Democrats and II Republicans.
The Democrats on a vote on the
gubernatorial contest can have but q
possible maximum of "a, as Goebel will
have no vote and Senator Hill, Goe-
bel man, is incapacitated by illness and
has never qualified. Both sides admit
the Senate to be very evenly divided
Seventy votes are necessary on joint
ballot to seat Goebel as Governor.

Are Nearer Together, in Splits of the
Fact That the Conference is
DeadIOcked.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 81
When the meeting of the joint scale
committee opened to-day it was sug-
gested that the committee was too
membership it might be possible to ar
rive at some agreement.
This proposition met with ap-
prevail and subcommittee was
named.
The operators propose to give an adj
vance of nine cents per ton Tor mining
coal, the conditions to remain the same
as they are now in the States of Ohio,
Indiana and Pennsylvania. This means,
instead OF 66 cents for pick mined coal,
the operators are willing to pay rs
cents, with inch and quarter stand
ard screens.
The miners demand an advance of
20 cents per ton, with fiat differen-
tial rate between pick and machine
mined coal of seven cents. There are
several smaller points covered in the
demand of the miners, most of which
are of local character.
After six hours of secret deliberation
the subcommittee reported it was I'M
able to agree. 1t was decided to go
before the joint conference, report the
progress made. hear suggestions and
meet again.
While it is a deadlock, the old stag
ers congratulate themselves that the
miners and operators are nearer to-
gether.

There has probably never been time
when there was so much activity
among boxers as is now being shown.
More "star" events have been held or
are scheduled to take place in the near
future than have ever before been
punched together in the same space Of
time. Beginning on the LIST of January,
the MoCoy-Maher, McGoyern-Dixo
and McCoy-Choynski fights took place
in such rapid succession that the sports
have hardly had time to recover from
the effects of one encounter before they
were called upon to witness another
New York was the scene of all the
battles mentioned, and, as matter of
fact, that city is the center of affairs
connected with boxing in the east. The
reason for this unWonted activity in
the fraternity is the fear that the New
York Legislature may repeal the Hor-
ton law and thus cut off all chance Of
holding such encounters in the Empire
State. 1t was this fear that led Corbett
and Jeffries to agree to come together
in the ring in March instead Of wait
ing until next September.
The next fight of any great impor-
lance is the one scheduled to take place
at the Broadway A c., New York. on
the night of Feb. 2, between Frank
Erne and Jack O'Brien for the light
weight championship. AS everybody
knows. these two met last December at
Coney Island and their bout resulted
in draw after Is rounds of hot work.
Opinions as to the merits of the two
men were widely divergent, each having
strong following
Erne, being the champion, was of
course the public favorite previous to
the last encounter, and many of his
admirers still retain their faith in him.
Erne won his title by defeating Kid
Lavigne last July, and, of course, tech
nically holds the championship until it
!. shall be wrested from him by defeat.
The lightweight problem, however, is
in a sufficiently muddled state just
now. There are more good men in this
class than in almost all the other di-
visions put together, and new aspir-
ants who must be considered are pop
ping up every day.
Not hsany years ago Jack McAuliffe
was head and shoulders above all of
his contemporaries. After him came
George Lavigne, who also for a long
time WAS really in class by himself,
there being no one able to hold his own
with the Saginaw lad in the ring.
Just now, however, the conditions
are very different. There are 10 or
II high class lightweights, half of
whom are SO evenly matched that the
title of champion is likely to be tossed
around from one to another for some
time to come, and it will be mighty
hard work for any one of them to hold
the lauels in his grasp for any great
length Nf time.
Among the aspirants for the title
now held by Erne are Jack O'Brien,
who will try to wrest it from him next
Friday; Joe Cans, who has posted
his money to fight the winner of the
forthcoming encounter; George Nc
Fadden, Spike" Sullivan, kid" Nc
Partland and Eddie Connolly. Every
one of these fighters is clamoring for
a chance to show his ability and is
more than anxious to fight at few
