TO STOP PRIZE FIGHTS
A Federal Law to That Effect Proposed.
AMLEADY PASSED THE HOUSE.
It Makes Prize Fighting a Misdemeanor, Punishable by Imprisonment For Not &MS Than Five Years—The Mexican
Government Just as Determined to FreJent It Taking Place on Mexican Soil. WASIIIWTOX, Fob. 6.—The debate on
f!ie senate free coinage substitute for the house bond bill was scheduled to commence in the house, and there was tt good attendance, in consequence, in t'.e galleries.
The session opened with an attempt to pass a bill to stop the "pugilistic festival" billed to take place "near El Paso, Tex.," 011 Feb. 14. The bill makes jxrize fighting a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for not less than live years.
Mr. Catron, the delegate from New Mexico, asked unanimous consent for the consideration of the bill. Mr. Catron explained that it was notorious that the preparations for the series of fights JIOW going on at El Paso, Tex., could not take place there, but were to occur in the territory of New Mexico which was within three miles of El Paso.
The governor of New Mexico had publicly stated, Mr. Catron said, that he knew of no law to prevent the fights. Mr. Catron also said that it "was the purpose of the managers of these fights to supplement them with trail fights and some Mexican bulls were now on their way to the United States. In view of the shortness of the time remaining (nine days) he warned the house that if objections were made and the bill was sent to a committee, it could not pass both houses and be eigned in time to prevent the "mills."
Mr. Knox (Rep., Mass.) objected and tho bill went to committee. The regular order being then demanded the votes v-ere taken on the District of Columbia appropriation bill, on which a tight has been made over charitable appropriations. This was defeated by a vote of yeas liio to 148 nays.
Mr. Gro.sveiior (Hep., O.) moved to reconsider. The motion curried, 189 to 80. Mr. Gr svenor then moved to recommit the biil with instructions to reexinnine the biil and report on the subdivisions unuer the head of charities. After a short uebate this was done without division.
Mr. Henderson (Rep., la.), chairman of the committee on judiciary, then re•porred the Catron bill to prevent prize and animal fighting in the District of Columbia and the territories. He explained that it had been considered by the committee on judiciary and had been amended to meet the objections of Mr. Knox of Massachusetts.
After some humorous inquiries the "bill was passed. Ac 3 o'clock the house went into committee of the whole, Mr. Payne (Rep., N. Y.) in the chair, and took up the consideration of the free coinage substitute for the house bond bill. This was discussed for the remainder of the session.
In the Senate.
"WASHINGTON', Feb. (.—There were indications of a lively session when the senate convened. Mr. Quay's resolution to recommit the tariff-silver bill with instructions, was supposed to be first in order of consideration after the routine business, but it was found that a prior resolution of Mr. Hansbrough directing the secretary of agriculture to execute the law as to seed distribution, had precedence. This was taken up and discussed throughout the entire day without, any action being taken.
NO HOPE FOR THE FIGHT.
'It Will Ee Stopped if Federal Troops Have to Be Called Out. "WASHINGTON, Feb. G.—It is learned
here that some correspondence has .passed between the governor of New Mexico and the United States district attorney for that territory and the department of justice at Washington with a view to preventing the proposed fistic carnival which is to be held near El JPaso, Tex., from taking place in that territory. The governor of the territory :is anxious to stop the holding of the carjural in New Mexico, and is willing to \do all in his power to bring about that result. ^Should the Catron bill passed by the iiohse 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 official circles as that such will be the case, the national government is to take steps to prevent the fights, using the federal troops if necessary. The enactment of the bill into law will, it is believed, have a deterrent effect on the fighters, as the "encounter" between the men is made a felony punishable by iniprisonuie:,-% and it is an offense l'or which the a- -used may be arrested in any
State a id extradited. Sh :!d the bill fail to pass the seunte in time to become operative in the present case the governor of New Mexico has the power it is said, to proceed again the pugilists under a territorial Tegnl.Lti.on prohibiting duelling and disorderly conduc t. Under this provision of law it is stated in official circle? lie can a posse and take other steps to preserve the peace. This power is not as adequate as the officials would Jike to have it for the reason that the pugilists might manifest indifference to the punishment provided by the regulation in question.
NOT ON MEXICAN SOIL.'
»®ar Sinter Republic Will Not Permit That Which Wo Do Not Approve.
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 6.—The position of the Mexican government on the -impending prize fight is that since the .American congress has legislated against pri/e fights, Mexico can not perunit that which is condemned by public opinion in the United States. President
Piass is opposed to allowing the fight to joome off on Mexican soil, and frankly so. Governor Ahumada of the 40tete of Chihuahua is in the city, and
•'On no pretext will I grant a permit -afer the fight- on Mexican soil. I go ur•ther than that, for 1 will take every 'possible means to prevent the fight, as Jims been announced. I hgye force of
cavalry out scouting along the frontiei and I ha^e ordered them to arrest anyone entering Mexico io take part in a prize figki. I shall be myself at Juarez on Sunday for the purpose of stopping this business. There is a piece of debatable territory near Juarez that is defacto under the control of the United States, but all I may say is that on Mexican soil, under our jurisdiction, the fights shall not take place, nor is there money enough in the United States to induce me, as governor, to allowr the fight."
Sentiment of the Mexican government is fixed and unalterable and the proposed action by the Washington congress is heartily approved here.
BOLD TALK.
Dan A. Stuart Says That "No Power Can Stop These Fights."
EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 6.—"No powei can stop these fights," said Dan A. Stuart yesterday, when informed of the passage of an anti-prize fighting bill by the house of representatives. "They are coming off just as they art advertised. Bat Masterson got in this morning, and he will have much to dc with the protection that will be accorded visitors. Tom O'Rourke, with his two colored wonders, Wolcott and Dixon, got in too, so that all the fighters, with the exception of Horace Leeds, are on the ground. You can say for me that so sure as the principals are alive and in condition to get into the ring on the date set for the contests, so sure will they fight and fight to a finish. If anybody evinces any sort of doubt as to this, I will lav them four to one for any part of $50,000."
NOT TOLERATED IN TEXAS.
Governor Culbertson Expresses His Views on the State of Affairs.
AUSTIN, Feb. 6.—Governor Culbertson was seen last night and asked what he would do in case the management of the El Paso fistic carnival decided to pull off the fights in the Texas woods surrounding El Paso.
Governor Culbertson replied that he did not care to be interviewed on the subject: that his recent action and of those of the Texas legislature should be assurance enough to prize fighters that their presence in Texas would not be tolerated and that the officers of the state would see at all time that the stringent law against prize lighting was obeyed, no matter what section of the state the fighters tried to locate on and that it was unnecessary for him to dictate to the officers as to their duties.
Trying to Buy a location.
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 6.—El Globo says the prize fight managers have offered the state of Chihuahua $20,000 in gold for permission to have the contests take place on Mexican soil. The permission, adds El Globo, will positively not be granted.
Referee Siler Starts For Texas.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—George Siler, referee of the Maher-Fitzsimmons and other fights, at El Paso, left for Texas last night by the Atchison road.
NOT YET IDENTIFIED.
The Fort Thomas Murder Mystery as Far From Solution as Ever.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.—The mystery of the murder in the Kentucky highlands, near Fort Thomas, is no nearer solution than it was last Saturday night. Every thread that might lead to the identification of the murdered woman is eagerly followed.
No end of mysterious disappearances hunted down have been cleared of mystery by the finaing of the lost one. The discovery of an apparent clew no longer gives rise to a suspicion. Each new one is followed to its end, as a matter of duty. It looks now as if the murderer, having left no witnesses behind him, has covered up the tracks of his retreat, so as to completely baffle detective skill.
The Latest Clew.
GBEENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. G.—The detectives and newspaper men who have beeu here from Newport and Cincinnati, investigating the murder case all left the city last night, part of them going north, the others returning to Cincinnati.
The latest rumor here is that the clothing and bonnet pins found on the body have been fully identified by a woman here who made the clothing for a young lady who resided here and left the city about a week ago. Some arrests are expected to be made soon.
BURGLARS' SHOOTING AFFRAY.
They Fell Out as They Were About to Kob a Mouse.
WINNIPEG, Feb. 6.—A desperate shooting affray occurred yesterday morning between two burglars who fell out as they were about to rob a house. John Nankerville shot William Smith and buried him in the snow. Noticing a movement in Smith's body he returned and. fired three more shots into Smith, stabbed. him thrice and pounded his head with a revolver.
He then left Smith for dead, but the latter revived and called for help. He is now in the hospital and has a slender chance for life.
Nankerville is under arrest. The motive for his deed was the fear that Smith might tell of former shooting affrays he had been in.
RUSTLERS' REVENGE.
Tliey 1 urdur a Prosecuting Attorney and IIis Little Son. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Feb. 6.—Colonel A. J. Fountain, one of the best known men in New Mexico, was kidnaped on the road from Las Cruces to White Oaks by cattle thieves, and is supposed to have been killed, together with his little son, who was his only traveling companion.
Fountain was prosecuting attorney for the district and had been pushing the rustlers vigorously. He had just been at court in Lincoln county, where he indicted a large number of them, and was on his way home, when he was waylaid and doubtless killed. A large party is scouring the country for the rustlers.

AN APPALtfflG CRIME
Chicago Startled by Another Horrible Tragedy.
AN ENTIRE FAMILY MURDERED.
An Avowed and Rampant Anarchist Murders His Father, His Mother, His Wife and His Three Daughters and Then Ends
His Own Existence Details of the ltloody Crime.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—For the third time in this city within a year a man has murdered all the members of his family and then completed his awful work by taking his own life. The last to commit the appalling crime is Richard Klatke, an avowed and rampant anarchist, and his work transcends in calm deliberation, cold cruelty and genuine butcher work- anything that went before. Not only did he kill his wife and children, but murdered his father and mother as well.
The crime was committed between 8 o'clock Tuesday night and 7 o'clock yesterday morning—at what hour no one knows. Klatke, who was a carpenter, living at 207 Bertau avenue, first shot and killed his aged father and mother, his wife and three children, and then, putting the revolver to his own head, fell dead close to the bedside of two of his murdered daughters.
The dead are: Richard Klatke, carpenter, 38 years old.
Katherine Klatke, his wife, 31 years old. Johann Klatke, his father, 73 years old.
Wilhelmina Klatke. his mother, 71 years old. Mina Klatke, daughter, 9 years old.
Hannah Klatke, daughter, 8 years old. Emma Klatke, daughter, 7 years old.
The first intimation of the terrible tragedy was gained by Adolph Schmidt, a carpenter, who lives in the house just west of that occupied by the Klatkes, when he called shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning to get Klatke to go to work with him. Schmidt knocked at the door of the house and could get no response. He went to the little window and looked in. The little room which served the purpose of kitchen, diningroom and parlor was deserted. Schmidt grew alarmed, for the family was usually stirring early, and being unable to get in through the door, he shattered the window pane. Thrusting his head and shoulders through the opening he peered into the quiet house.
Through the door that led to the sleeping room of the old couple, Schmidt could see the lifeless face of old Johann Klatke, his gray hair and beard matted with blood that had flowed from a wound near the left temple.
In the bed beside her venerable husband lay Klatke's mother, a bullet hole between her eyes and blood stains down both sides of her face. Her arms were raised above her head, her fingers clasped together, as though the noise of the shot that killed her husband had partially awakened her, and she was rousing from sleep when the revolver had been turned on her.
On seeing that murder had been committed, Schmidt dragged himself through the broken window into the house. In the back bedroom, which Klatke, his wife and youngest daughter occupied, Schmidt saw the bodies of the wife and child, each shot through the temple and each with towels bound about the lower parts of their faces, as though chloroform had been used, but if it had all trace had evaporated, for there was not the slightest ordor in the house. The mother was lying on her side, in an unnatural position, suggesting the possibility of a struggle, but the child was lying as naturally as though she had just dropped asleep, and the bedclothes were not deranged.
In the dark, inside chamber, back of the old people's bed room, a still more hideous sight presented itself. Facing the door, half stretched upon the floor, half leaning against a trunk, lay the murderer of his family. Beside him was a pool of blood that had flowed from a bullet wound in his temple. In the bed by the wall lay two pretty little girls, their faces stained with blood, for they too had been shot through the head.
As soon as Schmidt had taken in this scene he rushed from the house, crying that the whole Klatke family had been murdered.
Carl Jtiraun, a neighbor, heard the cries of Schmidt, and ran to summon the police, Schmidt being too overcome with horror to do anything. When the police arrived they took possession of the house and sent at one for a doctor. Dr. Friend arrived shortly, but not a vestige of life remained in any of the bodies and medical assistance wits useless.
The last seen of Klatke by anyone outside his own family was between 8 and 9 o'clock Tuesday night, when he called at Schmidt's house and made arrangeruents to go to work with Schmidt in the morning. Klatke had been out of work lor some time and Schmidt had just secureu him a job.
Tne cause of the tragedy is unknown. Klatke had been doing very little work of late, and devoted more time to hanging around saloons and denouncing American institutions than in looking for it. His wife, however, was a hard working woman, and by her labors over tlie waslitub managed to keep the family lrom absolute want.
On the wall of the living room of Klatke's house hang two pictures which tell their own story. One of the pictures represents the Goddess of Liberty holding a red flag, with men and women also bearing the red badge of anarchy crowding to the base of the figure. The other picture represents Governor Altgeld pardoning the condemned anarchists.
Katiierine Klatke, the murdered wife, had been the main support of the family for months past. While the police maintain that the murderer was a worthless loafer who would rather talk anarchy than work, neighbors the dead family say that Klatke was driven to desperation by his inability to secure work. Tuesday evening he is said to have visited a saloon, where he remarked: "Well, life is not worth living, any way. I am tired of it, and am glad it is not for long."
As far as can be discovered, this is the only iutimation, if such it was, that he gave oi his intention.

A NEW CUBAN RESOLUTION.
It Provides For the Recognition ef Belligerency on Both Sides. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The senate
committee on foreign relations has agreed upon a substitute for the resolution heretofore reported on the question of recognition of Cuba, and authorized Senator Morgan to report it to the senate. The substitute is in the shape of a concurrent resolution and is as follows: "Resolved by the senate (the house of representatives concurring), That in the opinion of congress a condition of pubhe war exists between the government of Spain and the government proclaimed and for some time maintained by force 9f arms by the people of. Cuba and that the United States of America should maintain a strict neutrality between the contending powers and accord to each all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States."
The committee also voted to make an effort to take up the Cuban question in the senate as soon as the urgent deficiency bill and the resolution for the distribution of the appropriation bills can be disposed of.
The action of the committee upon the resolutions as finally agreed upon was unanimous with the exception of Senator Cameron, who announced his adherence to his position looking to the formal recognition of independence of Cuba. The substitute differs from the original resolution in that it is a direfet recognition so far as congress can give it of the belligerent rights of the Cubans and does not contemplate, as did the first measures any appeal to Spain to accord such rights, It also contemplates taking the matter entirely out of the hands of the president as he is not required to sign a concurrent resolution.
There was an effort in the committee to have a resolution put in such shape so as to have whatever action should be taken by this country executed by the president, but the suggestion was overruled on the theory that congress should act independently, leaving the executive to pursue whatever course he may deem proper. The committee realize that there can be no formal acknowledgement of Cuban rights except through the president, but think the adoption of the resolution by both houses would have a strong moral influence.
BLACKBURN GAINS.
Two Senators Change Their A'otes in the Kentucky Contest. FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. (.—The greatest crowd that has ever attended a joint ballot was present yesterday. The galleries and lobbies were crowded, and some women were present at first, but their fears got the best of them and they went. away. The greatest excitement prevailed, and the crowd was with difficulty kept from pushing onto the floor of the house.
When the name of Senator Hayward was called he asked to be allowed to explain his vote. He said he was for sound money, but he was confronted by a peculiar crisis. He was not moved by a threat. But in order to secure the greatest good for the greatest number he would vote for Blackburn.
This announcement was received with great applause. Senator Hayward has heretofore voted for a sound money Democrat, Senator Hollo way, who lias also voted that way, voted for Blackburn. Senator Stege voted for Hunter.
The result of the ballot was as follows: Hunter, (ifi Blackburn, 02 McCreary, 2 Carlisle, 2, and Bate, 1.
"THE HERMIT OF ARGYLE."
He I'asses Away Aft H? Having-Reached the Age of tine and Four. ARGYLK, N. Y., Feb. G.—Thomas Driscoll, "The Hermit of Argyle," is dead at the Rensselaer home for aged men, aged 104. He was born in the county of Cork, Ireland, and came to this country at the age of 35. Sixty-five years ago he withdrew from the world to lead the life of a recluse, and nothing could induce him to have any further relations with society.
For the past 40 years he had resided in a cabin near the state boundary line. Rev. Mr. O'Brien had for some time been trying to persuade the old man to take refuge in the Rensselaer home, but notwithstanding his great age and growing helplessness he resisted until a few weeks ago, when he permitted himself to be transported here. It was his first ride on a rai road train.

VLADIVOSTOK
An Interesting Pen Picture of the Rmtian City In Siberia.
Vladivostok has the aspect of an inferior Hongkong, of about a quarter the size. Hills crowned with forts rise round it up to a height of 800 feet. It lies on the south side of a peninsula 20 miles long, called Maravief Amursky, in 43 degrees 6 minutes 51 seconds north latitude, and 131 degrees54minutes 21 seconds east longitude. The town is between four and five miles long, but is straggling and unconnected, and of no breadth. Some streets are very steep, and all are horribly dusty in dry weather, being never watered, and being continually crossed in all directions by droskies driven at a smart pace. Instead of pavements the streets have "sidewalks" of planks, as commonly seen in new I American cities. You take six stout I planks, some 25 feet long, and lay them side by side, and you continue the process for the requisite number of versts or miles (three versts are two miles), and the "sidewalk" is complete, save for a few props and nails where the ground is too soft, or the foundation degenerated into holes.
The droskies are driven by redheaded, snub nosed Russian izvozchiks in low, glazed stovepipe hats, with very curly brims, red sleeves, plaited black skirts and high boots. In them one often sees, lolling as passengers, a couple of frowsy Chinese or a still frowsier Korean. The fare is only 80 kopecks, or 1 shilling and 18 pence, an hour, or over half an hour, and from point to point there are tenpenny and fivepenny fares, according to distance. The regulations forbid charging more, but, with fine irony, allow the driver "to take less, if he likes." He may not leave his cab to take care of itself, may not "sing, make a noise or cause a disturbancehe must temper his pace to a "town trot," and "keep to the rightliand side of the road.
The troika has a dashing look the horse in the middle trots under the arched duga, whose object and effect, when properly put on, are to keep the shafts at the same distance apart. The small horses right and left are cantering, and their bodies incline a little outward from the car. In Vladivostok are few complete triple teams generally there are only the "middle horse" trotting, and one other cantering on its near side.
The water barrel on wheels drawn by horse or bull and often driven by a soldier is a frequent sight, carrying water up to the forts and to tho upper town. A funnier horse vehicle is the sitastride, cushioned beam on which izvozcbik and cloaked and spurred officer sit, with dangling legs, one behind the other, the officer behind.—Fortnightly Review.
LEMONS AS MEDICINE.
Many a Cure Is Effected by These Simple and Palatable Remedies.
Lemon juice sweetened with loaf or crushed sugar will relieve a cough. For feverishness and an unnatural thirst soften a lemon by rolling on a hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar and work it down into the lemon with a fork, then suck it slowly.
During the warm months a sense of coolness, comfort and invigoration can be produced by a free use of lemonade. For six large glasses of lemonade use six largo, juicy lemons. Roll on a hard surface so that the juice can be easily extracted. Peel and slice. Add sufficient sugar to sweeten and stir it well into the juice before adding the water.
Hot lemonade will break up a cold if taken at the start. Make it the same as cold lemonade, only use boiling water instead of cold water and use about onehalf as much sugar.
A piece of lemon, or stale bread moistened with lemon juice, bound on a corn will cure it. Renew night and morning. The first application will produce soreness, but if treatment is persisted in for a reasonable length of time a cure will be eti'ected.
The discomfort caused by sore and tender feet may be lessened, if not entirely cured, by applying slices of lemons on the feet.
To cure chilblains take a piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and rub the feet well. Repeat if necessary.
Lemon juice will relieve roughness and vegetable stains on the hands. After having the hands in hot soapsuds rub them with a piece of lemon. This will prevent chapping and make the hands soft and white.—Philadelphia Times.
The Swiss Pike.
The name of tho *3wiss is generally identified with the long pike of the 18 foot shaft, and most gallant attempts have been made by recent writers to prove that this celebrated weapon was a Swiss invention and employed by the confederates from Iho first. The point, however, is one that must remain uncertain, for the earliest mention of tho long pike is found in an order addressed in 132 7 by Count Philip of Savoy to the burghers of Turin, and no one can tell whether the Savoyards borrowed it from the Swiss or tho Swiss from the Savoyards. Tho primitive weapons of all infantry seem to bo the spear and shield. The Milanese fought with such spears and pikes eight or ten feet in length at Legnano, the Scotch at Falkirk and the Flemings at Courtrai, so that it is impossible really to predicate of any one nation that it added the requisite number of feet to make tho weapon's shaft in order to make it a long pike. There is no mention of pikes in the battles of the Swiss until Sempach, and it is probable that in that action tbey were not above ten feet in length.—Macinillan's Magazine.
The Prisoner's Animus.
Jndge—But what ia your opinion as to the animus of the prisoner? Witness—The what, your honor?
Jndge—Animus—a Latin word signifying mind—that is to say, what was intention or temper or spirit?
Witness—Animus and mind, then, are the same thing? I don't think he ever had any, your honor.—-Boston Transcript.
