Lightweights Active.

Were it not for the activity in light
weight circles public interest in pugilism
in this country would not be very keen at
the present time. Before Kaufman's igno-
min.ous defeat the pugilstic bugs had
faith and hope in that representative OF
the Caucasian race. but they are now all
at sea and obviously discouraged, as the
many prophecies of a shcrt reign of black
superiority have not been realized, and
present indications are that Fistiana will
be forced to suffer a mere extended era
of Ethiopian supremacy than was thought
possible before certain cent startling
developments in the ring.

Washington, Dec. 14.-By aunani- nous vote today the House passed the eight hour bill limiting to eight hours the work of the laborers and mechanics who may be employed by contractors or sub-contra ctors on government work, The law applies contract and stipulates that ill the event any contractor fails to observe the eight hour provision he shall be subject to fine.
 The debate of the bill was of des- ultory character and no opposition developed to it.
 Representative Berger, the Social ist member, made a humorous speech in which he declared tGe pending bill was not drawn in plain English. He suggested that bricklayer be permitted to draf an eight hour law , of not more than ten lines, with a newspaper man to examine and ap- prove it that it's meaning may be in- telligent.
 The House received from the Pres ident a message transmitting the re- port of the Vreeland Board, which declared the sinking af the Maine was caused by an exterior explosion.
 The Stanley Steel Committee con tinues it's investigation of traffic a. , engagements among the railroads in the Birmingham ore district, and the Military Affairs Committee continued consideration of the military appro- priation bill By vote of IA to F the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds voted to report public
