 off than the people of other countries. MT. Pettus. during the debate, suggested that the Island of Porto Rico be made a territory and MT. Foraker said he had not as much objection to d measure with that end in view as some of his colleagues The bill for the relief of persons who made the first payment for desert lands under the act of March B. 1877. and who were unable to perfect their entries, was taken up. 1t provides for the repayment to the entryman at 20 cents an acre so paid, and was opposed by Mir. Berry. who quoted the report of the secretary of the interior as saying that thousands of acres of land had been taken up fraud ulently under the desert land law and turned over to corporations.
 MT. Spooner removed the re-commttal of the bill to the committee on public lands, and this motion prevailed.
 The following bills were passed:
 Bills Passed.
 Authorizing the secretary of the inte- rior to restore to public entry lands em- braced in segrations for reservoirs.
 Authorizing the recorder of the general land office to issue certified copies of patents, records, etc.
 Extending to the hints at Denver, San Francisco, and New Orleans the privi- lege of coining more coins
 Authorizing the purchase of a marble bust of General Lafayette.

O'BRIEN AND RYAN
 FIGHT FAST BOUT
THE MEN SPLIT EQUALLY, AND, UNDER THE RULES IN PHILA- DELPHIA, NO DECISION COULD BE GIVEN.

Philadelphia, January 27.-Jack oBrien and Tommy Ryan fought one of the fast est six round bouts ever seen in this city tonight, and the Phadelphian had a light advantage. The men agreed to meet here in six round bout for $500O purse, split equally, and under the laws governing boxing in Philadelphia, no decision can be given.
 O'Brien cleverly outfought Ryan in the first four rounds. and in the fifth dropped him with hard blow to the jaw. Ryan took the count of eight and came up groggy. He saved himself by clinching until he had regained his bearings. A moment later Ryan drove vicious left to OBrien's stomach which sent the Phil adelphian to his knees.
 Ryan seemed to regain his wind as the round progressed, and landed repeatedly on OBriens stomach with vicious lefts. It was only the gong that saved O'Brien from being knocked out.
 In the sixth round honors were about even, both men having received severe punishment. When the gong sounded for the finish both men were in bad shape. Near the close of the fifth round, while O'Brien was on the floor, one of his see- ons threw sponge full of water on him. Many persons were of the opinion that this had ended the fight but the referee said no.
 OBrien and Ryan wer weighted in at o'clock. The balance was placed at 15S pounds but neither man budged 1t. It was 1925 when Refree Crowhurst called the men to the center Of the ring for in- structions. A moment later the gong sounded and the battle was on.

Interpreted Reasonable Time.

Interpreting the phrase reasonable time on broad principles, he did not be- lieve that there was any lapse of reasona- ble time which would have made 1t the Presidents duty to turn to the alterna- tive route designated in the statutes. He continued:
 Tt is vehemently asserted by some of the opponents of this treaty that vote for it's ratification under the clrcum- stances is tantamount to combining the action of the administration, both as to the revolution and as to the recognition. If thought that as favorably as I regard this treaty, as deeply important to us as is the immediate construction of the ca nal, do not think could vote for it.
 "I join my colleagues on this side of the chamber in condemning whatever wrong the President and the administration may have done in connection with bringing about the independence of Panama, but in the vote on the treaty l propose to re- cognize the fact that Panama is an inde- pendent state, possessed of equal rights and powers to make this treaty, as we ourselves possess, not only with our con- sent but practically with the consent of all the civilized nations of the world.
 Supports His Position.
 .'ro my mind you might as well say that I cannot administer the estate of dead man without approving of his death, as to say that I cannot act upon the admit ted fact that Panama is an independent nation without approving of the means by which that independence was achieved
 Mir. Simmons also announced his inten- tion to vote for the various resolutions of inquiry, and closed with the expression of a desire that Colombia might be com pensated for her loss
 Considerable discussion followed on a bill providing means for citizens of Porto Rico and the Philippines to become citi- gems of the United States. The fact was deyeloped that citizens of Porto Rico, the Philippines and other countries simi- larly situated with reference to the United States have no means of becoming natu- ralized as citizens of the United States and are therefore in that respect worse
