Successful Goes On
Closing Night At
FiShmarket

| The last of the shows at the Fish
market was given last evening, be-
fore one of the largest crowds which
has yet assembled in this place OF
| athletic amusement, which has been
deservedly popular during the time II
has been so capably managed by
Paddy Ryan, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge. Two draws and a
go which was stopped in the second
round were the order of the evening
Howe and Tillman of the Connecti-
cut, two colored boxers, going at 1873
pounds, furnished the first bout of
the evening. They fought fast, but
did not have much of the Furnishing
power. Tilman had the better of 1t,
as he was the cleaner scrapper, but
both men were on their feet at the
end of the six rounds of milling, and,
according to the rule which holds at
the Fishmarket, the bout was declar-
ed "A draw.
Fredericks of the Illinois and Ben
nett of the Kansas, boxing at the
featherweight limit, did the most
real scrapping which has been seen
at this stand of athletic amusement.
The former started things on like he
meant business. In the first round,
Bennett went to the floor for a little
while. on the strength of a speedy
left to the point. He managed to
stay with the mill during the remain
der of the round, but was palpably
distressed when the gong sounded
and he went to his corner. Almost
as soon as the next round started,
Fredericks got home hard right to
the face, which sent Bennett down.
There seemed to be every prospect of
a knockout very shortly, and Ryan,
who was refereeing the bout, stopped
1t then and there, giving the honors
to Fredericks.
The main event, between Soldiers
Murphy and Plat, was draw, since
1t went the limit, though Murphy
had the better of It on points. and
would probably have been given the
fight, had 1t not been agreed to call
1t draw If both stayed in the ring.
Paddy Ryan refereed.
Murphy had all the better of 1t
through the opening rounds, though
Plat fought back in better form as
the fight went on. In fact, he had
Murphy down in the sixth round.
Murphy was fighting carelessly, get
ting all the better of it. when his face
connected with steaming left. and
he bumped the boards.
This closes very successful line
of entertainments, which reflect the
greatest credit on Chairman Ryan
and on A. L. c. Atkinson. the chair
man of the Sports Committee.

Old Hugh Manity got so wet in Mont gomery yesterday that he thought the entire heavens had opened and that Gne little rain drops had been enlarged into bucket-fuIls. Yet. if truth must ba told. and the Weather peparfu3antH Instruments always tell it, the preciri- tation for the day was light.
 At tho same tifne the rains away from Montgomery were of such a nature as to cause the Department 60 send out flood warnings for the Tom bigbee river, which has been rising fop two days.
 The storm center. with low pressure, that has been over Arixansas has moved easterly ard last night was alfaoat directly northward of Montgomery It was the proximity of the low pressure center that Is supposed to have caused the showery weather in Aontgomarys From the northwest, however. is com ing a high pressure. It will bring cold and fair conditions. It is probable that there will be no rain today and 9hax by to night atmosphere will clear. "A freeze may come before komoFraw morning but the probability of ik had not last night been determined.
 The rains in Montgomery last nimhk were especially disagreeable. They were brief but frequent and heavy. Though the total of rainfall was not large. 1t was enough to wetten very many prominent citizens.

BIG AUDITORIUM
DENvER,s ONE OF THE LARGEST
 IN UNIFIED STATES.
It is Seated with Opera Chairs Throughout, and VIII Re an
 Admirable Place for Demo-
 cratic Convention.

Denver, Col, Feb. 14.--rhe new au- ditorium in this city which is being hurried to completion for the meet ing of the National Democratic Conven- ton July 2, Is one of the largest build- ings of It's kind in the United States. It Is larger than Madison Square Gar den in New York, which until recently was the most spacious assembly hall in the country. Madison Square Gar den seats 12,l37. while the seating ca- pacity of the Denver Auditorium is 12.5o0. se~t c-A s. e %1
 The Denver Auditorium Is admirably located, being situated in the business centre of the city and within few minutes walk from the Union Depot. and only a block from the Central Loop, where all the car lines of the city converge. Tn the opinion of those who have made a study of the large assembly halls of the United States. the Denver Auditorium is the best equipped and most complete in its apartments. The building contains four and one-half million cubic feet of space, which will be lighted by 5000 sixteen-candle power electric lights. There will be no electric lights used in the auditorium. A series of four teen mammoth cluster" lamps in the ceiling. each having 1.2s0 candle pow CT and made up of sixteen candle power electric lights will provide the princi- pal illumination, Four thousand small CT lights will be biased in various parts of the vast hall. There are over twenty Iineal feet of exits. being greater than for any similar building in the United States. These exits are so distributed that the building can be emptied entirely within two minutes, The building is entirely of fire proof material. s-s
 It will be seated with opera chairs throughout and win contain an im- mense proscenium and stage. which will adapt the building to the purposes of grand opera. festivals and similar entertainments as well as conventions.
 Seats will be arranged with special reference to the convenience of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Ample accommodations will be provided for the delegates and alternates. and special attention will be given the press section. which will contain accommodations for more than 500 working newspaper men. The ac- coustic properties of the building are such that the ordinary voice pitched at the tone used in public speaking can be heard distinctly in all parts of the hall.

GETs coon JURoRs-

Birmingham. Feb. 13--(Speciai)- The sheriff of Jefferson County has adopted a new system of getting jurors when they are needed in the various courts.
 Instead of allowing the deputies to pick up men around the court house, Sheriff Higdon has instructed them to visit the various mercantile houses and consult with the proprietors about let- ting some man off to do jury duty. In this way the sherikf believes he can do away with the professional juror entirely.
 T have no sympathy for any man or men who make a practice of hang ing around the court house to serve on Juries." said Colonel Higdon. When I first took charge of the sheriffs of- flee one of my first orders was for deputies not to summons men who sought to do jury duty. The deputies have done much Tn breaking up the practice and believe the new plan or calling on the merchants will break 1t up entirely. Not infrequently. at the present time at any rate. merchant fs only too glad to let off a clerk for a few days recreation. Of course. every man must be a house holder or a free holder before Ke is qualified"
 Suppose the merchant says he has no clerk to spareT' Colonel Higdon was asked.
 Then the deputy may summon the merchant himself" replied Sheriff Hig- don.

CAR SERVICE BILL
SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS ARGU-
 MENTs FOR AND AGAINST.
Judge Cowan Charges That Financial Heads or Railroad Have Hurt The Railroad Corporations
 By Pecketfng Money.

Washington, Feb. 14.--The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce to- day gave a hearing on the .Culberson- Smith car and transportation bill under which railroads engaged in interstate commerce would be required to promptly furnish cars to shippers. Those who spoke in behalf Of the bill were: s. H.. Cowan, of Texas: Col. l.. T. Pryor, president of the Cattle Raisers Association of Texas; Murdo Mackenzie, of the American Live Stock Association; c. W. Merchant. of Texas, and A. E. De Rickies, of Colorado. Representatives of grain and hay in- terests also appeared.
 Judge Cowan addressed himself chiefly to arguments that have been made against such legislationt on the ground that the car shortage has been due to the inability of manufacturers of rolling stock to keep pace with the demands.
 Judge cowan asked why is 1t that railroads have been giving such dis astrous service to the shippers when. by their sworn reports. they are pos sessed of more facilities for perform ing the service In the way of cars. To- comotives and main line tracks in proportion to the traffic than they had in 1900. period of generally satisfac- tory service7"
 Replying to his own question, he said:
 "The answer which we believe has not been clearly presented before, lies in these indisputable figures, that the tonnage system whereby they have att tempted to make their locomotives and train crews perform an extraordinary amount of service, Hes at the bottom of the failure to get out of tn cir faciii- ties relatively what they got before.
 .Tt does not, therefore, lie in the mouths of the railroads to say that the law shall not fix 6 penalty to com pei them to perform a reasonable ser vice for the alleged reason that they have not procured and cannot procure the facilities to do it.. when incontro- vertible facts prove the assertion un- true"
 Judge Cowan insisted that it was the financial heads" of the railroads who have hurt, the railroad corporations, against the people who furnish the business and pay the freight"
 He charged that these financial heads "have injured the corporations by "increasing the indebtedness of the roads and directly or indirectly pocket ing the money.
 ''Now we want to help the railroad as a corporation. but we owe no alie- glance to the railroad king. who acts toward the public as if he were really a king"

CRISIS. IS REACHED.
Dominioa and Provincial Governments
 Are at Outs.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. its--A dispatch from vancouver. B. s. to The Post Intelligencer says: The fight between the dominion and provincial govern ments on the question of Japanese ex- ciusion reached a crisis yesterday when the Federal Government announced that 1t would immediately diBaliow the natal act just passed by the Legisla- true of British Columbia.
 This act provides an educational test for all immigrants. It must remain in force ten days before cancellation. Meantime the Government lawyers in Vancouver have been instructed to se- cure admittance of all Japanese held by the provincial enactment to the ex- tent of applying for habeas corpus pro- ceedings in the courts.
 The ottawa Government has also advised the Emperor that the rights of Japanese coming to British Columbia will be fully protected. If the provin- cfal government fails to keep out the Japanese by reason of Federal inter- ference, working men may make an- other demonstration against the ori- enta1s.

CREATES A SENSATION.
Senator EngIe Wanted All Lobbyists
 Elected From Chamber.

Jackson, Miss. Feb. 14-A sensation was created in the State today. when Senator Engle of Natchez. offered a resolution instructing the sergeant at arms to eject from the Senate Chamber all lobbyists connected with the Cum berland Telephone Company.
 Mir. Engle made a spirited speech declaring that lobbyists of that com pany were using influences of almost every character to defeat his bill re- quiring telephone companies to make physical connections. Some of the members contend that the alleged lob- bying was instructive rather than per nicious and that no undue influences had been used. The resolution was finally referred to the committee on rules.
