the Beaver Line.

London. April 29.-The Daily Ex-
press, in it's issue of this morning, as
serts positively that the shipping COM

Railroad to boycott the Bearer Line
of steamers by the threat that if the
road failed to comply with the COM
bines demand no emigrant carried on
any ship under the control of the COM
bine would be allowed to travel over
the Canadian Pacific.

combine. AS a result of this action,
the British agents of the Canadian
Pacific now refuse to issue passage on

Private Pension Legislation
 Considered by Senate.
HOUSE DEBATES TIE CANAL BILL.
A Strong Sentiment Develops I'm Fa- y0r of Considering the Recent ORer of Panama Company to
 Sell For Si0, 100000.

WASHINGTON Jan. 9.-During con- sideration by the senate yesterday oI rFivata pension legislation some impor- tant statements were made by Mir. sal finger, chairman of the committee on pensions, in respect to regulations adopted by the committee to govern II in consideration of private pension bills. He announced that none but aD- solutely meritorious cases would be presented to the senate for it's consld- eration and the closest scrutiny would be given by the committee to every blii introduced He said that no pension exceeding $50 month would be rec commended by the committee for the widow of general officer and that pensions for the widows of other ofn. cers would be sealed down proportion ately.
 The interesting case of Dr. LaZeare, who at the instance of Johns Hopkins university and of the government went to Cuba and submitted himself to in- oculation with yellow fever through mosquito bites and died from the dis ease thus contracted, was brought to 1 the senate's attention by Mir. McComas, 
 who inquired whether pr. Lazeare's
 widow would be entitled to a pension.
 No decision was reached, but it was
 the opinion of Senators Gallinger and
 Cockrell that the case had no pension i aDie status.
 The debate on the Nicaraguan canal bill in the house developed sentiment
 in favor of giving consideration to the
 recent offer of the Panama company
 to sell it's franchises and property for
 $40,0o0,000, this sentiment taking the 1 forIr of advocating the Morris amend
 .nent to empower the president to se- i lect the latter route if the canal com mission, upon considering the compa- { ny's offer, recommends it and the re- { quired concessions can be obtained 1 from Colombia. Of sixteen members ] who spoke during the day nine favored I the Morris amendment. It was agreed ] that general debate should close today at 2 o'clock, after which the bill will be ! open to amendment under the five min-
 ute rule. The final vote probably will 1 be taken late today.

 Iniured-Joe Walcott Has Aspira-

 to Make Money.
 Hampstead, Jan 9.-Terry McGovern started training here yesterday for hls fight with Dave Sullivan on February 9. under anything but favorable au- spices. There was a northeaster DloW- ing when he arrived yesterday morn Ing, but despite the gale and snow, Terry, with Chris Martin, who trains his horses, started on tramp across Hempstead plains, which lasted three hours. After a vigorous rubdoWn Terry was ready to receive his man ager, Sam Harris, his racing partner, Paddy Sullivan, his sparring partner, Danny Dougherty, and Eddy snort. The mornings tramp was all the work he did, as his visitors wanted to look over the new quarters, and general conference was held.
 Terry will not do any heavy work until his nose is attended to. as 1t is hard for him to breathe. The right nostril Is entirely stopped up and the left is partly so. Dr Gumpa, his pay sician, says he has a"defected nasal septum," caused by a blow. Just when he got this blow Terry does not know. He will visit his physician to- day and hopes to go to work in earnest next week. Meanwhile he will dc light indoor work.
 It was announced after the confer enee that Terry would have the assist ance of Jim Hander, George Dixon and Tim Kearns in his training, be sides Dougherty, who, however. will not take hand in the training until after his fight with Harry Forbes OF January p. McGovern said that Young Corbett's remark that he would give him first chance was very nice but that 1t would be nicer and more to the point if Corbett would accept his offer to fight for $1O,0OC.

Corbett, according to pugilistic pro- motors, is losing a great chance to stow away the money in safe deposit vaults simply because he is possessed of stubborn will that no manager or mentor can tontrol He differs from the average pugilist in point of finan- cial greed.

The division of the gate receipts also oc- casioned argument, for Manager Tuo- hey wanted the winner to take ali, while Dwyer wanted division at 60 and 40 per cent. A compromise was finally made, when q side bet of $1O0 was made and the gate receipts will be divided 75 and % per cent. After | Dwyer made the statement that if he won one fall from Wittmer then the match was over and he was the Win ner. Manager Tuohey made big kick at this and it looked as if all af- fairs were off. Dwyer insisted on this point and again did Manager Tuohey side bet that Dwyer would not get T hI1f was finally agreed that Wittmer ana Dwyer would wrestle .catch-as- catch can style. Wittmer must throw Dwyer three times in one hour to win. Should i Dwyer get one fall during the hour he wins the match.
