EVENTS OF THE
PRESENT WEEK
APPROPRIATION BILLS TO occu.
PY SENATE AND HOUSE,
MUCH DEBATE EXPECTED
Taking of Testimony on Brownsville
Affair to Beain-confersnc
on Japanese School
Question.

The time Of both the senate and
the house this week will be taken up
with the consideration of appropria.
ton bills. In the senate the Indian
bill is now under consideration, while
the house has the river and harbor
bill under way. Several days will be
required to dispose of each of these
measures, and when they shall have
. been finally voted upon the senate
win take up the army bill and the
house the naval bills.
These four measures ill practical
ly monopolize the time OIL the two
bodies, as there are many points in
each Of them over which there is wide
difference of opinion. 1t is expected
that the senate amendments to the
Indian territory matters will develop
debate concerning the administration
Of business in that territory, while
the question of big battleships will be
fought out in the house in connection
with the consideration of the naval
bill.

X. Thaw have reached the stage

to win. even by the short margin of a
nose. from Meada, which came like
shot at the end. after working her way
through the field from a poor start.
Lord Nelson was away flying and clear
OF all interference. Buxton. the stable
apprentice. rode the winner, while r.
Davis was ND on Meada- Governor
Orman. which was equal favorite with
the winner. ran up on the pacemakers
from a rather poor position at the
start. but the effort told and he backed
up at the end and barely saved third
money. Jimalong. a long shot that had
come in for some play, showed early
speed. but failed TO stay.
z. ]. Baidwin's Lisaro threw the tall
ent down with a sickening thud in the
closing race of the day. He looked like
such a cinch. on paper. that the bet
tors tumbled over themselves to get on
at even money and sent him TO the
post odds-on. He failed to show his
usual speed and could never get to the
front in spite of strenuous efforts on
Jockey Fischer's part to spur him on.
Gateway beat the barrier, but Cloud
light smothered him with speed and
lasted long enough to win by a head
after opening several lengths in the
early part. Lisaro was second most OF
the way and looked to be winning at
the head OF the stretch. but unexpect-
edly weakened in the last hundred
yards and finished last. Keogh rode

The talk of Billy Roche. the low come
dian of the prizefight game, putting up
$4,000 as a purse for the Gans-Nelson
fight, or S3,70 for that matter, is the
most amusing bit that has come over
the line in long time. OF course. 1t is
intended to be understood that Jim Cof-
froth is back of the offer, the foxy pro-
moter preferring to put up a dummy
in order that he may be able TO deny
the responsibility for certain features
of the plan which might not prove pop
ular with people who have been found
more or less useful in his schemes for
separating the public from it's coin
AS a matter of fact the Roche offer
is a feeler in the general plan or the
promoters to try to create a break be-
tween Nelson and Billy Nolan. Nolan
has been the one great stumbling block
that the promoters have found In their
effort to corral all the profit or the
game for the benefit of small coterie
whose record is not altogether savory.
His unpopularity has been due entirely
to the fact that he has stood out nrst,
last and all the time for Nelson's inter-
ests. and the hatred of Coffroth and the
other promoters is based upon Nolan's
success and their own failure TO work
him in their own interest
The talk OF NOLAN > CLOOnCNAOcS ~@AtN
his detrimental influence over Nelson's 8
interests sounds amusing when IL is
considered that 1t comes from the men
who ran the notorious Gans-Britt fake,
who robbed Nelson in his first battle
with Britt. when he was under Teddy
Murphy's management, and who did
their best to give him the tarred end
of the stick in the Britt-Nelson fight
at CoIma The farcical character or
the talk against Nolan becomes even
more patent when it is recalled tnat
Coffroth and the rest Of the tight trust
crowd are shivering in fear OF indlct-
ment by the Grand Jury because OF
their connection with municipal graft
while Nelson, who had practically notn-
ing when Nolan undertook his man
agement, can draw his check TOT more
money than any bne of Nolan's detract-
ors.
The talk of a split between Nolan and
Nelson is all based upon the desire OF
