Tri-city and Peoria fight fans who
had staked their hopes and their cash
on Kid Farmer of the Still city rece!v-
himself when Joe Galligan, the Chi
cagoan, put the local favorite to sleep
in the very first round. Knocked down
before he had fairly begun to fight,
the Peorian soon received another
punch that sent him to the mat, and
before the round was nearly ended he
took one that sent him to dreamland
for keeps. 1t was several minutes be-
fore he came to.
Crowd Surprised.
1t was a surprised crowd. all but the
bunch that came down from Chicago
to back Battling Nelson's Sparring part
ner. The men went at it like tigers
from the clang of the gong. Farmer
was evidently overcOnfident, underesti-
mating the skill and strength of his
opponent. Probably he did not really
appreciate the fact that he was up
against the real thing until he got the
final punch. He swung wildly and gave
openings that had he been more eau
,ious he could have avoided. The dope
that he had been fed on was to the CT
feet that Galligan had streak of yell
low that developed as soon as he had
received a good. hard punch, and Far
mer took long chances in attempting
TO land early in the game When he
was stung. instead of becoming eau
tious, he threw discretion to the wind
and waded in, as he did in his first
meeting with Paddy Nee and the result
was the same as when he went down

SENATE FOR
LOCK CANAL
THE DECISION is ARRIVED AT az
A VERY CLOSE
VOTE.

Washington. June 23-The senate
lost little time today beginning its CON
slderation of the sea level Panama ca.
nal bill with view to taking a final
vote on the measure before adjourn
ment for the day. The first speech
on the subject was made by Senator
CulOm in opposition to the sea level
canal bill on the ground of both ex-
pense and practicabiity. He contend
ed that the president has authority
under the Spooner act to construct a
lock canal
Senators Scott and Foraker announc-
ed their intention to vote for the lock
plan of canal, saying they were hope
full that at some time in the future the
canal would be deepened to the level
of tide water Mr. Foraker said that
he was not entirely persuaded. but
that he had decided to follow the lead
of those who have the greatest respon-
sibility-the president, the secretary
of war and Engineer Stevens.
Closed by kittredge.
The debate was closed by Senator
Kittre,lge in advocacy of the sea leve.
plan. In reply to the objection to that
type of canal he quoted number Of
engineers to the effect that it could
be completed within ten or twelve
years, not more than two or three
years in excess of the time required
for lock canal
Senator Dick said that he had orig.
inally changed from his advocacy of
the Nicaragua route to the Panama
route because he has believed in a
sea level canal practical at the latter
place and that he was not willing now
to surrender that advantage
When the hour arrived for taking
the vote, Senator Hopkins offered his
substitute providing for lock canal
Senator Kittredge moved to lay the
substitute on the table, but the motion
was lost, 81 to &c. The substitute was
then agreed to without division. 1t is
as follows:
That lock canal be constructed
across the isthmus of Panama connect
ing the waters of the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans of the type proposed
by the minority of the board consult
ing engineers created by order of the
president, dated June "a, 1905, in pur-
suance of an act entitled, "an act to
provide for the construction of canal
connecting the waters of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans approved June 2S,
1902.

TRAVELLING EXPENSES.
Appropriation Of $4,000 Made for the
President.

Washington. June 25.-The opposi-
ton to the committee amendment to
the sundry civil bill, appropriating
SIS, 900 annually for the payment of
the travelling expenses of the presi-
dent, which was begun by Senator
McLaurin, resulted today in the with
drawal of the amendment by Senator
Hale, in charge of the BILL and subse-
quent passage of the independent bill,
providing practically for the same ap.
preparation, which was recently pass
ed by the house of representatives.
The bill, as passed, reads as follows:
THAT hereafter there may be ex-
pended, for or on account of the trav-
cling expenses of the President Of the
United States, such sum as congress
may appropriate from time to time.
not exceeding $4,000 per annum, such
sum, when appropriated to be expend
ed in the discretion of the president
and accounted for on his certificate
solely.
There is hereby appropriated out
of any money in the treasury not 9TH
erwise appropriated, for the purposes
authorized by this act, for the fiscal
year 1907. the sum of $25,00O."
The greater part of the day was de-
voted to the discussion of this ques-
ton, but considerable other business
was transacted, including the passage
of the sundry civil appropriation bill.
There was an effort to strike out from
the bill the clause prohibiting can.
teens at soldiers homes, but instead,
it was made stronger. The bill, as
passed, carries an appropriation OF
$1O2. 100000. The bill also retains the
house provision for a lock canal at
Panama.
The senate also accepted the confer
ence report on the District of Colum-
bia appropriation bill; also the confer
ence report on the postoffice appropri
alton bill. The senate also adopted a
joint resolution, introduced by Senator
McLaurin. expressing sympathy with
the Russian Hebrews on account OF
the recent massacres, and Senator
Brandegee's bill, appropriating s3.00O..
900 for the purchase of lands in the
Philippines.
