Washington, May S.-The senate
devoted it's entire session to an in
effectual consideration of the Elkins
amendment prohibiting common car
riers from engaging in mining coal or
in the production of other commod-
tiles in competition with shippers.
and adjourned in a state of confusion
as to the exact subject before it. The
disorder was due to the fact that a
number of substitutes for amend.
ments to the original amendment
were offered. 1t refused by a vote of
30 to 40 to lay the Elkins provision
on the table.
The house devoted the day to the
naval appropriation bill. Several
topics incident to the measure were
discussed including the difficulty of
obtaining enlisted men in the navy.
the location of a naval training
station on the great lakes, the cost
of smokeless powder and finally the
unnecessary expenditure of 100000
year for chains for ships. Represen.
tatives Loud of Michigan and eros.
venor of Ohio offered amendments
providing that the purchase OF such
supplies as chairs, anchors, cordage.
etc, shall hereafter be by the com.
petitive bid process. Mr.. Rixey of
Virginia was unsuccessful in getting
an amendment through limiting to so
cents a pound the amout which NAV
be expended for smokeless powder.
He stated that the price now paid was
rs cents pound. but inquiry made
by the navy committee showed that
it actually cost but IS cents to manu-.
facture the powder The army an.

TENNIS TEAM
OFF FOR ENGLAND

NEW YORK. May 19.-Representatives of
the United States for the international
lawn tennis challenge matches, Bea1s c..
Wright. Holcombe Ward, Raymond D. Lit
tie and Kreigh Collins, sailed yesterday for
England on the steamship Celtic. They
were hopeful Of returning to this country
with the famous cup offered In 1900 by
Dwight +. Davis.
Conspicuous In the group on the pier was
the national champion, Wright He was
cheerful despite the fact that his right
hand was swathed In bandages because Of
a painful injury he sustained the day be-
fore by being cut with a broken bottle. He
said that as his playing hand was his left
he did not look for any handicap when he
came to compete in the matches for the
cup. Ward and Collins were accompanied
by their wives. J.
No trainer went abroad with the team, as
last year, when Paul Dashiell accompanied
the players. The idea of those directing tho
playing of the team Is that Wright and
Ward will do practically all the work and
Little or Collins will be called In to play In
case of emergency. Several Of the experts
expressed the belief that Collins would gain
his true form during the week Of practice
the men viii have in Liverpool before they
meet the French team on June 1. The
players expect to arrive In Liverpool about
May Is.

JOE CANS J0KED
WITH WILLIE LEWIS

NEW YORK. May 19.-"Joe" Cans Of
Baltimore sustained his reputation as the
Joker Of the prize ring In a six-round
bout with willie Lewis in the arena OF
the Twentieth Century Athletic Club last
night In the Madison Square Garden Con-
cert Hall. Time may have dimmed the ne
gro lads ambition, but It has failed to
radicate his sense of humor.
Indifferent to e degree, except when
threatened once or twice with a knockout
blow. Cans last night made no effort to
defeat Lewis. He was absolutely passive.
Maybe the weather had quieting infiu-
enee on him. or maybe the habit of fooling
a prize ring audience is SO fascinating that
he cannot break away from 1t, or perhaps
combination Of these conditions caused
him to refrain from fighting. At any rate,
Cans exhibition last night did not en-
nance his pugflistic status.
In all save three rallies Cans was on tho
defensive His famous straight left-hand
jab was conspicuous by the absence, his
judgment Of distance was not appreciated
by keen observers, and his aggressivenesa
must have thawed into docility under tho
influence OF the Turkish bath atmosphere
Of the roped arena.
Lewis made q commendable showing. He
was sincere, earnest and persevering at
all stages Of the bout He used q straight
left-hand Jab effectively on the nose and
mouth and frequently sent his right to tho
ribs with force. He at all times outpointed
his opponent. Whether Lewis could make
quite SO favorable an impression on Cans
IL the latter should condescend to engage
In an earnest bout IL a question for debate.

exciting campaign OF 1896 the republican

unusual activity of the national commit

sued to the campaign orators scattered
upon the stump in all congressional dis
tricts. Among recent congressional cam
paign managers there has been consider
able difference of opinion as to whether
thousand dollars invested In spellbinding

pamphleteering. The average stump speak
will talk to 1000 people per day, and
they will pay attention to what he has to
say, whereas the fate of the printed speech
is proba BILE that of the commercial circular
letter. 1t Is claimed that New York city
voters will not read the political pamphlets
sent to them, and that they prefer to obtain
their political information from their daily
papers. Investigation would probably prove
that this Is generally true of the element
which casts the independent vote and whose
conversion Is almost the sole function OF
political revivalists.
