NO FIGHT BULLETINS
 IN THIS CITY
Or Any Other From the Jeffries. Johnson Fight Next Monday-Dis- agreement Between Westurn tn. ion and Postal Companies and
 Fight Promoters.

It was stated last night that owing to disagreement between the fight promoters and the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies, neither of the wire companies would furnish any bulletin service in any city or town in the United States on next Monday from Reno, Nevada, relative to the big Jeffries-Johnson mill It was announced several days ago that the returns of the fight would be call- ed at the Elks Theater and at the Brookhill on Monday afternoon. but it is not likely that either of these places will be given special wire ser vice. The decision of the Western Union, which came yesterday, is unex- plained other than that it is the out come of disagreement between the fight promoters, Rickard and Gleason, and the telegraph companies.
 Manager F. w. Hoyler, of the Vest ern Unions local office, stated last night that he had received orders that no information was to be given the public from his office of the fight on Monday, nor were any wires to be leased for special bulletin service. He said that he understood that a similar order had been issued by the Postal Only the newspapers will be furnish ed with the report of the fight. The Graphic has made unusual prepara- tions to get special service from Reno, which will be furnished by spe- cial writers sent there by the Hearst or International News Service. Tues day mornings Graphic will contain full account of the greatest battle in fistiana.
 Local fight fans were looking for ward with great anticipations to. hearing the returns and the announce ments of last night will be disappoint- ing.

H. H. Daley has returned from Lit tie Rock, where he made arrange ments for an excursion to be run by the Steamer Grand out of this city on the evening of July 26. The excur- sion will be under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus organization of this city and will be for the benefit of the Catholic orphans home at Little Rock.

CANNON BLOCKED
 IN HIS GAME
He Proposed to Spend the Final Hour of the Session to an Excoriation of the Insurgent Republicans and the
 Democrats, but Had No Chance.

Washington, June 2S.-The story of what threatened to be dramatic epi- sode in the closing hours of congress leaked out today. A rumor spread on the Democratic side of the House Sat urday night that Speaker Cannon would devote the final hour to an ex- ccriation of both the insurgent Re- publicans and the Democrats for their attitude in some of the strenuous per- lOds of the session.
 Just at this time Mir. Martin of Colorado, a Democrat, sprang his suc- cessful effort for action on a resolu- tion to investigate the Phillipine Friar land sales.
 MT. Rodenburg of Illinois, a Repub- Ecan colleague of Mir. Cannon, hurried to MT. Clark of Missouri, the Demo- cratic leader, urging him to call off NIT. Martin. MT. Clark asked MT. Rodenburg point blank whether the speaker intended to make such a speech, declaring that if there was any such purpose he would demand an hour himself and would not only not call off MT. Martin but would aid him.
 MT. Rodenburg knew of no such in- tentlnon, nor did anybody else so far as the Democrats could learn, and MT. Clark and other Democratic conferees talked with the wrathy Colorado mem- Der. MT. Martin was obdurate, but succeeded in having the resolution passed without delayed adjournment.

CHANGES IN THE
 BANKRUPTCY LAW
An Amendment is Made to the Bank.
 ruptcy Laws by Congress.

All AmenOMent IS Made to the Bank.
 ruptcy Laws by Congress.
 Much favorable discussion is heard in Pine Bluff concerning the amend ment to the bankruptcy act and it is said at the session of Congress which just adjourned one of the important measures passed is the amendment to the bankruptcy act
 By one of these amendments, all corporations except a municipal, rail- road insurance or banking corpora t1on can become voluntary bank rupt, or be adjudged as an involun- tary bankrupt. Heretofore corpora tions could not become voluntary bankrupts at all, and only manufac- turing building or mining corpora tions could be proceeded against as involuntary bankrupts. Another im- portant amendment is that compost tions in bankruptcy can be made be- fore adjudication. Heretofore no proceedings for a composition could be instituted until after the adjudi- cation, and as in involuntary proceed ings it took some time before there could be an adjudication, there was considerable delay which can now be avoided.
 The most important amendment is that trustees are now vested with all the right of creditors who had an at- taohment or execution lien, while for. merly the trustee had only the right of the bankrupt, except in cases of a fraudulent conveyance or illegal pre- ference.

THE FIRST HOME VICTORY.

Wagner seems to have everything
His speed is good, his control is al
most perfect, and his curve is broad
or quick as he sees proper to make it
In addition to other qualifications he
has an underhand delivery which
judging from the manenr in which
the Reedbirds went after it yester-
day, is very effective. In addition, he
can play shortstop and can hit the
ball.
Such a combination is rarely seen
in twirler
Wagner was exceptionally effective
yesterday afternoon. In the first in
ming he got the visitors on his hip
and throughout tile game kept them
there. He served a menu of fast and
slow ones, fast and curved ones. Fol-
four innings no Reedbird tapped him
self to the first corner, and never dur
ing the game was the result in doubt
The visitors had only a single oppor-
tunity to score. and of this they failed
to take advantage.
Wagner's control was perfect yes,

the visitors on several occasions

Birmingham defeated Mobile yesterday
afternoon to 0.
It was the first local victory of the
season, and the first shutout scored by
Birmingham this year.
The Barons piled up Is swats for q
bases, and the four twirlers used by Mo-
bile were beaten until blue in the face.
Two sensational one-hand stabs by Ber-
ger cut off three additional runs while in
the ninth inning Kerwin, who had
switched himself to center, took with his
gloved hand a drive off the bat of New
ton that would have been good for at
least two bags. These were the fielding
features of the afternoon. The one star
feature, however, was the stealing in
succession of second, third and home by
McGilvray. This play was attended by
little assault of Umpire Conahan by
Mobile players, this episode furnishings
the amusement for the crowd.

laid upon the arbiter Of play-not brutal
hands, but hands which pushed little
and tugged little. When the row was
at its height McGilvray stole third, and
when the visitors even then declined to
notice him, he came on across the plate.
Torrey was put out Of the game for
the part he played in the fracas, and Bit
