TlLLMANS VICTIM
Is LIKELY TO DIE
Mr.. Gonzalez States He Was Unarmed
and There Was No Cause for
His Assassination.

Columbia, s. c., Jan. in. G..
Gonzalez's condition and the tragedy
are the only topics of conversation in
the state.
All day crowds gathered around the
bulletin boards and talked of the af-
fair, many denouncing Tillman. When
the city schools assembled, the pray.
ers included an appeal for the recov.
cry OF Mr.. Gonzalez. At the South
Carolina college prayers were offered
for his recovery, and In the senate
where Tillman presided shortly before
the shooting, the chaplain prayed for
Mr.. Gonzalez.
Mr.. Gonzalez issued the following
statement through his physicians:
II was unarmed, and there was no
cause for my assassination, but die a
martyr to a good cause gladly. have
done nothing but my duty and have
nothing to regret"
Tillman passed the day quietly and
calmly in the county jail. He gave out
the following statement:
Il can only say that when the truth
OF the unfortunate affair Is known my
friends, as we'll as the people, will
know how thoroughly was justified
In acting as did. The statements al
ready published in the papers are un
true. and at the proper time this l will
be prepared to show"

GOVERNOR YATES
FROWNS ON BOXING
Orders Sheriff Barrett to Put Stop to
Bout at Chicago Between
Yanger and Mowatt.

Springfield, H., Jan. 19.-Governor
Yates has frowned upon prize fighting
In Chicago clubs. His action In call
cut the militia few nights ago to
stop mill which unwise promoters
proposed to hold in the state capital
under the very nose OF the chief execu.
tive. apparently has aroused him to o
general enforcement of the state law
prohibiting prize fighting and boxing
exhibitions.
Private Secretary Oglesby wrote a
letter to Sheriff Barrett Of Cook coun.
ty. calling his attention to the pro.
posed Yanger-Mowatt bout scheduled
before the America Athletic club.
If Governor Yates orders me to
stop the fight between Benny YangeI
and Young Mowatt there will be moth.
ing left for me to do but to stop it,"
said Sheriff Barrett. "The state law
which prohibits boxing, is superior to
the city ordinance, which permits it.
While do not understand the gov.
ernor's motive clearly, am inclined
to believe he does not mean to crush
boxing in Chicago"

Monthly and Expenses.
Washington, Jan. 19.-The Secretary
of State has supplied Senator Morgan,
chairman of the senate committee on
inter-oceanic canals, a statement of
the expenditure made on account of
the isthmian canal commission.
It shows that each member of the
commission has been allowed compen-
sation at the rate of $1,000 a month,
with travelling and incidental expenses
aided. These salaries were fixed in
1899, when the commission was
created at the suggestion of the Pres.
ident.
In the cases of Colonel Peter c..
Hams and Lieutenant Colonel o. H.
Ernst of the army, the allowance was
equal to the difference between their
regular salary and $1,000. Under this
arrangement the aggregate amount
paid to the nine commissioners as sal
aries up to Feb. %, 1902, amounted to
$225,2S9,
