Limited Contest,

New York. March 3.-James J. JEFF,
ries, accompanied by Billy Delaney and
Kid Eagan, met Jim Corbett and his
party at the Delavan house Sunday at,
ternoon and talked over a match as
previously agreed upon.
Corbett absolutely refused to meet
the champion in a finish fight. and mat.
tiers finally drifted along until Jeffries
said: "Ill tell you what I'll do.
think you are so easy for me that !
will agree to meet you in a twenty.
round bout"
Corbett Immediately accepted this
proposition, and it was agreed that the
men meet some time next July in a
twenty-round bout before the club of.
fering $25 900 or larger purse. Delaney
and Tom O'Rourke, who were present
acted as witnesses to the agreement.
1t was then stated that the men
would meet in Baltimore some day,
probably Thursday. to sign articles, as
the laws in the state of New York for
bid signing for a fight. The bout looks
to be a certainty now.

This Evidence.

Proof of merit lies in the evidence.

The statement of a Laramie citizen.
John E. Burke, carpenter, Of 168
Front St., says: "If sharp pain across
the loins especially after STOPPING or
lifting. added to an annoying difficulty
with the kidney sechetions, are positive
signs that mans kidneys require the
use of medicine to correct their action
then mine did. Noticing Doan's Kid
ney Pills advertised as a specific for
the kidneys and knowing that they
we're highly recommended induced me
to go to the Laramie Drug Cos store
for a box. This remedy acts directly
upon the kidneys as stated. 1t washes,
puriies and gently purges those organs
until either over excitement or weak

are brought to a normal condition the

paper agreeing to elect two regular re-
publicans in order to beat the Addicks
program. The caucus refused to ac-
cept the proposition, but decided I'M
animously to vote for only one repub-
lican for senator.
Meanwhile the ten regular republic
cans in caucus Isl their first ballot.
This resulted: Ball, 5; Higgins, s.
Representatives Tyre and Price. repub-

other provides for taking up the i'm

Although there are only three or four
days of this session remaining, filibus-
tering tactics were continued yester-
day morning in both houses of con,
gress. Senator Morgan, in the senate,
insisted upon delaying the Panama

continue their efforts to block legisla-

A FLAW IS DISCOVERED

Montgomery, November S.-(Special)- The law passed by the legislature recent ly adjourned which enlarges the powers of the Alabama railroad commission and makes the commission elective is to be tested in the courts. At least this is the statement made here tonight by lead ing lawyer.
 This announcement has created quite a little sensation here among the few who have heard it, and 1t will doubtless prove of exceptional interest to persons over the entire state since lawyers give it as their opinion that the point raised against the law is almost sure to be held as good
 Prior to the passage of this bill the railroad commission has been powerless to enforce any of it's orders and at the same time the governor of the state has been all powerful to appoint whom soever he pleased to serve upon the comms- sion.
 s. A. L. the Complainant. It is said that the Seaboard Air Line will raise the question of the constitu- tionality of the new law. few days ago the commission decided an important case against the Seaboard, very mater ially reducing local freight rates. The Seaboard attorneys, it is asserted, have discovered an imperfection in the man ner of the passage of the bill It is that the bill was not referred to and acted upon by a standing committee, as IS re- quired by the constitution.
 People familiar with the history of the | f (. l.ttI Ix,rfI1 the house by resolution recalled the bill from the committee on commerce and common carriers and then took it mp in committee of the whole and passed 1t. The failure of the commerce and com { mon carriers committee to "act upon the bill creates the loophole through which, 1t is asserted, the railroad people expect to escape the effects of the law, provided the court will sustain them, Lawyers say there is little doubt of this latter proposition. Just when this suit is 10 be filed could not be learned tonight l but it is certain to prove one of the most interesting known to Aabamians.
 Elective Clause Stands. The struggle to pass the bill was one of the most notable fights known in the state legislature. Should the courts de- clare the law unconstitutional it will not effect the elective clause
 Section IA of the Bankhead election bill sets forth that the railroad commission CTS shall be elected along with other state officials and consequently if the bill enlarging the powers and declaring fol the elective commission fails the clause in the election bill will save the election clause. This means that the president O. the commission is to be elected next veal and two associates are to be elected two years later.
