KILL ANTLBOX|NC BILL

ALBANY. April 26.-Gov whitman's
pet project to put an end to boxing

yesterday. The assembly has twice
voted on the G. T. Davis bill to re-

present is regulating the sport, and has
twice rejected it.
The senate judiciary committee failed
to report favorably the bill introduced

ground that with the assembly action

less to put the Slater bill through the.

Senator Slater later in the day intro
duced a bill differing from his first bill
and from the Davis bill. 1t fixed No

provided for the immediate repeal of
the bill.
An attempt was made to have the new
Slater bill advanced to third reading
at once but this move was blocked by
a protest from Senator Thomas II. Gull

was sent to the senate judiciary COM

 On August 1, 1897, Lieutenant-CoI- onel w. P.

He proceeded as far as Fort Yukon where his steamer was stopped by floating ice and during the winter months a station was established for the succor of American stampederS, including the operation of an army hospital.
 Colonel Richardson is a firm believer that the time is rapidly approaching when the territory will be able to take charge of the road construction, and the pioneer work which he instituted and carried out for upward of twenty years will be falling into civilian hands.

HONOR HERO OF
 WAR MYSTERY
Officer In His Majesty's Army Per forms Great Deeds, But Must
 Hide Details

LONDON, June 10, (By MaiD.- Commander Gordon Campbell, myste- rious hero of the British navy, re- gently leaped 700 junior naval officers in promotion, became a member of the Distinguished Service Order and was decorated with the Victoria Cross in less than a year and half. Yet, with a storm raging around his secret career, he is bound by naval ethics not,to tell publicly how he won either his promotion or the high honors be- slowed by King George.
 Curiosity started mildly, but when Campbell and the Admiralty remained silent, the demand for information reached the proportion of a public uproar. Campbell is not criticized, eX- actly; the public really wants a chance to sing his praises. The music is ready but English hero-worshippers refuse to sing a song without words, which makes the present demonstra- tion a clamor instead of a popular laudation.
 A high official of the Admiralty to- day assured the United Press that Campbelps achievements and bravery during the war deserves every honor turned upon him. When the war is over the people may know what he did and how he did it, but for the time be- ing his deeds must remain behind the veil
 Just recently his name appeared in the Court Circular as the recipient of the Victoria Cross, highest of all hon ors for sheer bravery, so Campbell must have found something more ex- citing than the command of the Bit tern.
