Stevenson's Crowd Snubbed.

The political correspondent OF the
Seattle Mail and Herald says:
at was all but pathetic to see how
little attention was paid, in the recep-
ton OF the President to the committee
appointed to welcome him to the
State on behalf OF the State Legisla-
ture. 1t is comparatively well known
fact that places on the Legislative Re-
ception Committee were parcelled out
by President Smith and Speaker Hare
as rewards to members for doing the
bidding In different ways of the cor
rupt railroad lobby, and the knowl-
edge Of this fact brought the legisla.
tive committee into general disrepute
King county was repre-.
sented on the committee for instance,
by President Smith of the Senate and
Representative Carle of the House.
The indignation which is felt against
both of these men caused them to be
treated by the local committee with
scant courtesy, and that courtesy
would have been even more scant but
for the Intervention of Congressman
Congressman Humphrey and John L.
Wilson in their behalf. Az it was,
even Mr.. Carle saw the handwriting
on the wall and had the good sense to
remain away from the steamer trip to
Everett even though he was invited"

get you to do it. T meant If be would
do it as cheap as we could get it done
elsewhere. This vas the only con.

PHILADELPHIA March 3I.--John c.
Bell. the University Of Pennsylvania
representative on the intercollegiate
football rules committee. last night
called attention 10 the fact that rule
had been passed at the recent meeting

to eradicate the mass plays from the
game had not received unanimous sup

committee. though he declined to give
his own views on the point IL question.
There were many opinions advanced at
this meeting. and the committee. Mr.
Bell said. decided that it would be nee

BOUT SAVOREO OF A FAKE
Audience Kissed the Forebearance

PHILADELPHIA. March 31.-Fron q
spectator s point OF view the bout last
night between Jack O'Brien and Joe
Choynski had very bad look. The
men were engaged TO fight six rounds at
the Washington Sporting Club. and big
crowd turned out despite the storm
There's no question as TO the sincerity
OF the principals until the beginning Of
the fourth round when Choynskf let
slip by many chances that. had he tried
he could have done considerable damage
to Jack. But on the contrary. he in
variably drew his arm back when the
blow was already on it's way.
The crowd was quick to see that some
thing was wrong, and Kissed Chovnski
time and again for not following I'D his
leads. The fifth round was worse than
the preceding round. Choynski did not
even try to land on Jack On the other
hand, O'Brien jabbed, uppercut, and
hooked as he pleased, but his blows were
rather weak The referee at this stage
OF the proceedings stopped the men long
enough to caution them O'Brien said
that he was doing his best Evidently
he was, as he hit Choynski three to
one and clearly outpointed him at every
stage, and he could have no reason to
enter into an agreement with the Chi
cago man, having bested Choynski in
Chicago some time ago.
After the referee cautioned the men
Choynski let out few links and went
after o'Brien right and left. but Jack
danced nimbly out of harms way, and
hooked his left to the face when the
bell rang They came out of their cor
ners for the sixth and cut out terrific
pace. 'Brien. as in the previous rounds.
was much the quicker and landed oftener
than Choynski. but his blows lacked the
necessary steam 10 do much damage.
Again in this round Choynski, after his
squirt, let up. and It looked as though
he was not trying 10 fight The crowd
again started kissing and yelling TO
stop the bout, and kept up this sort of
thing until the gong for the end OF the
sixth round sounded. Choynski paid no
attention to the kissing, and only
smiled. After the bout was over the
spectators seemed to be glad Of IT, and
gave vent to their feelings in very strong
