1.-The day | left a freighter arrived
with seven barrels of water and they
were quickly bought up by one res
taurant nan at SIS per barrel. The
average price for water is $40 a bar
rel, but on this occasion water was
more scarce than usual. This water
has to be fre;ghted about a miles.
Fuel Is a. scarce as water and all
the lumber has to be f%reighted in just
the same as the water. The price is
almost prohibitive to a man without
large means. All the people are liv.
ing in tents but there is no doubt in
time that this will be remedied as there
are two or three railroads projected.
While l was in Greenwater Ross
Clark, Charles Schwab, the steel
magnate, and other capitalists were
there and it will not be many months
before there is railroad connection

by these men do not fail. Then again,

WASHINGTON, March l4.-The rail

yersiaI stage in the Senate. The ques-
ton came up in the regular order of
business this afternoon and held the
floor until the doors closed for executive
session. Raynor was the chief speaker
of the day. Among the Senators arous-
ed by him were Foraker, Lodge, and
Dolliycr
Both the Ohio and Massachusetts,
senator's took exception to Raynor's
contention that the railroads have in
terfered with framing the bill, and For
aker declared himself dissatisfied at the
intimation that the railroads were rep

plea for amendments and went so far
as to say the help of such friends as
Raynor could be very well dispensed
with. Others who participated were
Aldrich, Knox and Tillman, Tillman re-

Nelson Has Best of a Six
Round Contest
CROWD CRIES FAKE"
Neither Nc Govern Nor Nelson
Anxious TO Nix Until

Nc GOVERN SEEMED AFRAID
In the First Four Rounds Nelson and

But Mixed it Towards the
Last-Crowd Disguised.

PHILADELPHIA, March IA ALL the
sporting fraternity of New York and
Philadelphia gathered at the ringslde
here tonight when Battling Nelson and
Terv McGovern met at 1873 pounds.
The fight promised to be one OF the
greatest lightweight contests of the de-
cadc AS both boys were fit, but the
result proved almost a farce. Nelson
was the fayorite but Terrible Teddy "
had plenty OF hackers when the gloves
were donned.
The fight was limited to six rounds
and there was no decision. According TO
the agreement Nelson took $4,000 of
the money win or lose; McGoyern $500,
Jack McGuigan of Philadelphia refereed,
and the battle was under straight Mar
quis of Queensberry, fighting in the
clinches, but breaking on command
For the first three rounds the fight
was a disappointment to the 5000 per
sons who paid fancy prices to witness
the bout. There were scarcely half a
dozen blows struck and the men wrestled
from one end of the ring to the other
with the referee poweress to separate
them and the crowd kissing, groaning,
and CRYING "Fake!" and Take them
out of the ring!" "
At the beginning of the fourth round
the men began to fight as though they
meant business. Nelson kept right after
McGovem and used a straight left to
advantage. McGovern frequently coun-
tered but while his blows seemed to
have great force they failed to make an
impression on the sturdy Dane,
Al the close of the fifth round Me
Govern went to his corner in distress.
When the men came up for the last
round Nelson sent his left to the jaw
and McGoven rushed to a clineh. Fol

ON, and every time the Dane landed a
stiff blow McGoven would clinch until
the Dane threw him off by sheer force. 1t
is doubtful whether McGovcrm could
have stood the gruelling of another
round Nelson deserved the decision,
but as no decisions are rendered the
fight was declared Il draw.

He predicted if the present Congress
does not settle the question, the people
next year will elect one that will.
The argument of Raynor was directed
in favor of the general proposition that
Congress has the right to fix the rates,
but that the bill should be so amended
as to dispense with the provision.
Mr.. Rayner announced his adherence to
the rate bill as it passed the House.
