The man who asked the question
seemed excited. but che man to whom it
was addressed was not disturbed in the
least. He was dumping load of dirt

PASSING OF PUGIIISM.
New York Sports Have a Wake
Over the Repeal of the
Horton Law
UNDER THE HORTON LAW.

New York, Sept. 1.-At midnight last
night the Horton law, which has made
prizefghting permissible in the metropo~
lis and throughout the state Of New
York, ceased to exist, and simultaneous
ly the Lewis bill prohibiting pugilistic
contests became a law. For many
months past the fight promoters and the
fighters have reaped golden harvest in
this vicinity. In fact, the field for
moneymaking in this direction was the
richest ever known in the annals OF
prizefghting in this or any other coun-
try. In New York city fights have been
pulled off at the rate of dozen a week,
and within a period Of six or eight
months every big fighter Of prominence
in the country has been seen In the ring

talk of migrating to Connecticut, where
twenty-round contests are still permitted,
but the citizens of the Nutmeg state have
not taken kindly to the suggestion, and
furthermore the chances Of getting to-
gether a paying crowd for a big fight in
Hartford OF Bridgeport are not particu-
larry bright. Chicago, Boston, Phladel-

to six rounds, while New Orleans. once

The Passing of PuS;lism.
At the Broadway Athletic club last

passing of pugilism was signalzed by the
singing of 'Auld Lang Syne" by the

TALK FROM CANNON.
CAUSTIC COMMENT ON THE
BRYAN CAMPAIGN.
After .Advising tho Adoption of the
Spanish Treaty, Candidate Bryan
Criticizes the Policy of Retaining
the Philippine Islands.

''Uncle Joe Cannon Of Danville, chair
man Of the House committee on appro-
priations, has made a hot impromptu
speech in Chicago on the issues Of the
campaign He didn't start out to make
speech, but was drawn into it before
he knew it, Congressman Cannon was
at Republican congressional headquarters
to see Chairman Babcock, when news
paper man came in and asked him for an
interview ON the political situation.
Mr.. Cannon seldom talks politics for
publicati ton. He is willing enough to be
interviewed OH congressional matters, but
as rule is loath to discuss campaign
affairs. A few gruff remarks about a
party victory" usually is the extent Of
his replies. At first he wsrded off the
interview in his customary manner, while
Congressman Babcock Of Wisconsin,
Hull Of Iowa and Sherman of New York
stood by and smiled. Then somebody re-
marked that the Democrats charged the
Republicans with being afraid to discuss
anti-imperialsm, and Uncle joe shook
off his cloak of reticence and gave his
small but select audience an old school
political speech The Congressman list
ened with interest.
