WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—The Catron anti prize fight bill has passed the senate. Stuart’s Bold Talk. _ EL PASO. Tex), Feb. .7-—-Dan Stuart’s sleep was not at all disturbed by the dis- tressing news from Washington to the ef- fect that congress had rushed a bill through prohibiting fights in the territories. Daniel looked today as though he had not a care in the world. Either the news does not worry him or else he has the happy faculty of suppressing any outward evidences of emotion. NO one, to look at his calm, serene face today, would think that he was engineering the most gigantic fistic enterprise that has ever taken place; this, too, in the face of apparently certain failure. The citizens of this town have been in- fected by Stuart’s confidence, and very few can be found who will admit that the fights cannot be brought to a successful conclusion. As an evidence of their faith they have turned over to Stuart the $10,000 in sub- . -‘. TB .'.; . .‘ 1‘1 DAN STUART. scriptions which were raised to assist in paying the expenses of the carnival. They are willing to do anything that Stuart suggests just to show that they have con- fidence in his ability to do as he Says. Stuart was asked if the action of con- gress would necessitate the fights “being brought all in private. “The fighters must see this thing through,” he replied emphatically, “else they are dead, so far as future money making in this country is concerned. I am sure they Will be willing to fight any- where. I Will lose money on this deal, judging by the way matters are shaping, but-I will keep my word that the fights will come 06.” According to persons who profess to know, the money which Stuart will lose is not cash out of pocket, but losses through the'decreased attendance Ofs‘ports. If the fights could be brought off with- out any talk of interference, Stuart would have made a barrel of money. It ments with the Kinetoscope company are such as to guarantee him against any pos- sible loss personally. Stuart \Von’t Lose Anything. This company, it is said, pays the purses and expenses of the fighters and arranges for a division of the profits with Stuart. The Kinetoscope company wants the fights for their machines and is prepared to spend so much money to get them, whether they are brought off in private or net. It is said that the pugilists understand that they must fight in private if condi- . tions confront them which make sucha proceeding necessary. Stuart gets $10,. ‘000 velvet from the El Paso citizens. In view of the discouraging occurrences of the past few days it is not likely that any great crowd of sports will visit this city. With a free, clear road the town would not be big enough to hold the vis- itors. Despite Dan Stuart’s confident declara- tion, reports from the big cities through- out the country indicate that few sports are coming onto see the fights. That the fighters are in accord with Stuart may be judged from the following» expressions a reporter obtained from them: Bob Fitzsimmons—I don’t care whether one man or ten thousand see Ithe fight. I’m ready to fight any place ’where the law will not interfere. John Quinn—Mather will fight at any time or any place that Fitzsimmons may agree to. Tom O’Rourke—I am willing to follow any arrangement that Stuart may make. I think he knows what he is about. Everhardt and Barry have faith in Stuart and are willing to abide by his de- cision. Stuart today refused to make pub- lic the nature of the talk he had with Mar- tin Julian and John Quinn last night. The sports who are already here are feel- ing very blue over the prospects and fear a repetition of the Hot Springs fiasco. They remember that Stuart was juSt as confident then as new. They are gathered in the various hotels talking over the situ- ation, and , to them at least prospects are not rosy. New Mexico’s Governor Against Fights._ WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Itislearned here that some correspondence has passed be- tween the governor of New Mexico and the United States district attorney for that territory and the department of jus- tice at Washington, with a view of pre- venting the proposed fistic carnival, which istobe held near El Paso, Tex., from taking place in that territory. The gov- ernor of the territory is anxious to .stop the holding of the carnival in New Mexico and is willing to do all in his power to bring about that result. Should the Ca- tron bill, passed by the house yesterday, receive favorable action at the hands of the senate and be signed by the president before the date of the carnival—and the belief in ofiicial circles is that such will be the case—the national government will take steps to prevent the fights, using the federal troops if necessary. The enact- ment of the bill into law will, it is believ- ed, have a deterrent effect on the fighters, as the“encounter” between the men is made a felony, punishable by imprison- Aclw-Itiseinitbe “Genera-” I .II. is believed that Stuart’s arrange-. ment, and it is an offense for which the , accused may be arrested in any state and extradited. Should the bill fail to be _ made a law in time to become operative the governor of New Mexico has the power, it is said, to proceed against the pugilists under a territorial regulation prohibiting, dueling and disorderly conduct. -Under this provision of law he can summon a posse and take other steps to preserve the peace. This power is not as adequate as the officials would like to have it, for the reason that the pugilists might manifest indifference to the punishment provided by the regulation. in question. Mexico Stands Firm. CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 7.—The position if the Mexican government on the pend- - ing prize fight is that every state in the American Union has legislated against prize ,fights, and Mexico cannot permit that which is condemned by public opin- ion in the' United States. . President Diaz is Opposed to allowing the fight to come off on Mexicansoil. The president said: “I will take every possible means to prevent the fight, as has been announced. I have a force of cavalry out scouting along the frontier, and I have ordered it to arrest any one entering ' Mexico to take part in a prize fight.” El Globo says the prize fight managers have offered the state of Chihuahua $20,- 000 in gold for permission to have the con- tests take place on Mexican soil. The permission, adds El Globo, will positively not be granted. A BUILDING BLOWN DOWN. Two Men Killed and a Third Seriously Injured In South Brooklyn. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—-Two men and per- haps a third lost their lives in the collapse of the 3 A story. cooperage at the foot of Thirty-ninth street, South Brooklyn, to— day. The dead are: James Quigley, proprietor of the cooper- age, 56 years old, of Fourth avenue and Fifty- -third street. Simon Scafinon, 44 years old, cooper, residence unknown. Daniel Meehan, cooper, Of 104 Bedford avenue, escaped from the building just as it went down. Michael Mulcahy, 18 years old, truck driver in Quigley’s employ, of Court street and Hamilton avenue, was badly hurt. The collapse was due to the gale blow- ing at the time, and the building was totally .emolished. No warning was given those in the building of their danger until the walls fell in ontop of them with a crash. The men started in to work at 7 a. n1. The building Was very old, and the terrific wind and rain,~ beating down on it, rocked it to and fro 1" e a cradle. . . A mighty gust of wind which struck the Structure blew it down like a paper card house before a boy’s breath. All the building excepting the wall on the north side went down. The men in- side, except Meehan, were buried in the ruins. They were on the first floor, but Meehan happened to be near a door. and when the crash came he crawled out through the debris uninjured. Firemen went promptly to work on the ruins to try to get the men out and pre- pared to take down the north wall, which was left standing. _Mulcahy was the first man. rescued He was found buried in the debris 50 feet from the north entrance. He Was still alive and conscious. . , Meehan, the man who escaped told the firemen where. Scannon was. The firemen started to search for him, and while at work came across the body of Quigiey, who was dead. His body .was badly bruised and was held down by a mass of brick and beams. Quigley was lying upon his back. He was only a few feet from the front wall. - A few minutes laterScannon’s body was discovered. He was lying in a corner with his legs doubled up against his stomach and badly crushed. The Pacific Railroads. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Seoretary Hoke Smith, in a conference with the house Pa- ciflc railroads committee today, advocated foreclosure of the government mortgage on the Pacific railroads and a resale of the roads. He declared there would be no difficulty in doing this without govern- ment ownership of the roads, to which he was Opposed absolutely. He recommended that congress pass an act forfeiting the lands granted the two companies, with an exemption in favor of bone. fido purchasers from the railroads. If congress did not legislate, he would revoke his suspension orders and patent the lands to the roads. Maryland Political Conflict. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 7.—Tl1e Demo- cratic senate has refused to fix a date for joint session with the Republican house to choose a state treasurer, on the ground that the present treasurer had expressed a desire to adjust all his accounts with the state before retiring, and the committees appointed to examine them had not yet finished their work and reported. Rubber Trust President Resigns. PROVIDENCE, Feb. ‘7.-—The rumor of the resignation of President Joseph Bannigan of the United States Rubber company was verified here today, and it is learned that the resignation was tendered and accepted at the monthly meeting of the board of directors.

LONDON, Feb. 7,—Adviccs received here from Blantyre, under date of Jan. 25, say that the Sikhs, under British ofi‘iccrs, have gained two brilliant victories over the slave raiders in British Central Afsica.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. —The Populist senators have decided to vote solidly against recommitting the silver substitute for the tariff bill to the committee on finance. If the Democrats stand together against the Quay motion, which has gone over until Monday, the decision of the Populists will insure its defeat. France Is Getting Bellicose. PARIS, Feb. 7,—Several newspapers de- clare that the position of Brazil in regard to the Amap’a territory and the conduct of Cabral, the alleged governor of the dis- puted district, are becoming intolerable. and they add that the national dignity re- quires that the matter be speedily con- cluded.
