Hathaway ranked high as skilIful

gan to take on weight and his retire
ment from the saddle soon followed. In
his successful career as a jockey he
rolled in wealth. but like many of his
class he was improvident and spent the
money he SO easily earned like it was
water. II was in the height of his rid
ing glory that he met the girl for whose

sweetheart and he Iayished on her the
wealth which came 70 him as result

When he quit the saddle he and the
beautiful octoroon continued lovers. but
finally. when Hathaway's wealth had ali
gone, the woman turned up missing at
their home in Jackson, where they had
settled. Several days he waited her re-
turn, brooding over the fact that h~
was broke, and reasoning that that was
likely the cause of her going, he started
out TO look for her He finally located
her at Winchester, but she refused TO

About the only match being discussed
to any extent is that between Tommy

Joe Grant had an easier time than he
expected last night in getting two falls
out of Max Wiley, the champion welter-
weight wrestler of New York State
Wiley had record ot having thrown
numerous good men and of q two-hour
draw with Grant and a three-hour draw
with Harvey Parker. He is smaller
man than Grant, but when ne wrestIed
his draw with the Washingtonian he
was nearer Grants size. Since then
Joe has taken on flesh more rapidly
than Wiley and last night had twelve
or fifteen pounds advantage
Despite his lack of avoirdupois Wiley
was a little busy bee in the first round
and managed to do some rough work
that stirred up the audience and showed
just how good he is at that game when
he meets a man nearer his own size.
But the weight soon told and the visit
or had to devote all of his energies TO
breaking the incessant Nelson and leg
holds which his opponent gained He
pulled out of several tight places when
he seemed to be nearly gone but after
sixteen minutes Grant obtained a Nell
son hold that the New York man could
not break and in five seconds more he
was pinned to the mat.
The second fall was obtained more
easily, as Wiley could do nothing but
act on the defensive and stave off the
inevitable as long as possible. He last
ed minutes and Il seconds. and then
went down from a Nelson and leg hold.
Jack Spauldipg again demonstrated
that he is a coming championship pos
sihiliJy among the 12o-pound Boys by
putting down Raw Brennan, who had
been after Spaulding for a long time.
SpauIding was in bad way several
times in the first round. but by clever
rocking he broke away and saved him
self frcm defeat by fraction OF an
inch With the second fall he did not
have so much trouble.
Foley and Cohn furnished a lively
exhibition In which their quick work and
crude methods aroused much laughter.
Cohn got two falls and the match.

CLASH OF FLEETS
 AT ANY TIME.

Any hour may bring to us news of the greatest of naval battles. The fleet of Rojestvensky in two divisions is doubtless planning to effect a juncture, the main fleet having passed through the Malacca straits and a squad of the most formidable battleships under the direct command of the Russian admiral having been re- ported at Muntok.
 The purpose of the Russians is doubtless to proceed eastward past the Philippines and rendez- vous in the Pacific, then make a dash for Vladivostok.
 Just where Togo is, no one knows. He seems to have out witted the newspaper cores pondents and the marine trades men. He has fleet scouting crui- sers and was doubtless aware of the Russians approach in ad- vance of the outside world. Will he make his strike in the night time and with his thirty torpedo craft disable the better ships of

SENATE FAVORS
 TAX REDUCTION.
Mears Bill Meets With Approval In Senate. House Opposes Night Session and Sticks to
 Anti-Nepotism Clause.

Little Rock, April 10. The sen- ate this morning passed with only one dissenting vote the Mears bill reducing the state levy tax from 2 IA mills to 1 3-4 mills. Senator Toney of Jefferson voted against the measure. The bill was introduced some time ago and was sent to the finance com mittee, from which it came with a proposed amendment making the assessment two mills. This was offered as a compromise be- tween the present tax and the one proposed in the bill. By a rising vote the amendment was defeated and the bill passed.
 The appropriation bill for the support and maintenance of the deaf mute institute passed with out opposition. The aggregate amount is $170, ,000.
 Senator Hollands bill provid- ing for the weighing of coal as it comes from the mines and before it passes over a screen passed the senate also.
 Senator Fletcher called up sen- ate bill 3O4, and it was passed by a vote of 23 to 4, to provide for the working of public roads by contract. A board of county road supervisors, composed of the county judge, county clerk and the sheriff, is created. This board is to let contracts, but such contracts shall not be made for a longer period than the term of office of the county judge.
 Senator Amis called up senate bill No. 289, to require all foreign life insurance companies to in- vest three-fourths of the receipts from business done in the state, in the state. Senator Amis said that for 1904, $16, ,000,000 worth of insurance was written in this state. Three-fourths of the pre- miums collected should be invest ed or loaned in Arkansas, he said. It would place more money in circulation, Senator Amis said, and upon the conclusion of his address the bill went through with only three noes.
 ANTI-NEPOTISM CLAUSE STICKS.
 The house this morning re- fused to recede from their anti nepotism amendment to the blind school appropriation bill. The amendment was adopted last week in committee of the whole after a great deal of wrangling, and when the bill came up in the house this morning for consid- eration the members promptly voted down a motion to reject the anti-nepotism amendment, MT. Hurst contending for it's re- jection.
 The Simpson resolution pro- viding for night sessions of the house and senate three nights out of the week was defeated by the house ny a vote of 27 to 32, after motions to table and to in- definitely postpone had been re- jected.
 The Hurst bill providing for a direct and collateral inheritance tax came up for consideration this morning, but was displaced by the expiration of the morning hour and no final action was taken on the measure.
