pioning' a bill to abolish tho olllcc of

nnlmoiiUcs."
Tilt with Washburn.
Senator Washburn tit this Juncture
declared that those mho favored tho
bill mould that It Bhould be constitu
tional and for tliut reason favored the
clause ubollshlng the olllce if mayor.
"It Is not a constitutional question
nt all," said Senator rilnii, "but as tho
gentleman seems to want to easo his
conscience milt not go Into tint mat
ter nnv farther."
"The gentleman from AllcEhenyneod
not trouble himself about my con
science," sharply letorted Mr. Wash
burn. "If his conscience Is ns easy ns
mine ho would no doubt be a happier
man than he Is."
Senator Wellrr, Insiiigent, of Hertford,
and Senator Fllnn In turn pointed out
technical points In tin- bill and Senator
rilnn made a lengthy speech nualst
the principle of tho "Kipper" clause In
which ho took occasion to defend the
government of l'lttsbuig and i elate In
detail what has been accomplished
t licit; during the past decade in the may
nf iH'iinunent Imiuou-monts. In con-
eliialon ho tnltl: "I huc no icfftcts
for any pai 1 1 hive taken In politics. I
nm a free Anicilun and ossnveel to act
like one. I am not pleading for mercy,
but 1 hud hoped that I would yet be In
harmony with my party; tho,t the foe
tlnnul book mould bo closed by that rc
i flit act which should have closed It;
but that hope, It seems, must be given
up. The xmall men mho always come
to the ft out In suth cases hao blasted
the hope '
Colloquy with Focht.
In answer to nn attack by Senator
Wellpr on tho Justice of the bill. Sena
tor Kocht, stalmnit, of Union, made
a spetth In justification of the "Kip
per," during the course of which he
lead a letter from n man In IMttsburg
describing "ring mle" In that city,
nnd winding up with u bitter denunci
ation of the "tytannlcal boss ring."
Senator rilnn asked Senator I'ocht
to state whom he was alluding to
mheu he leftrted to the "ttannlcal
boss."
"I mill be peifectly ft.tnk with you,"
rfpllod Senator Tocht. "I undcistand
It Is youtself."
"till, tint's wh.it T expected to
hoar. It is lather htiunge, though, to
heii the senator from Union talking
llilh way In lew of the fact that he
did not know last night how he. was
f.'ulng to ote on this bill."
Mr. Vocht chcmently denied tho
Imputation. Them mere other ex
changes along the sumo lines, and
some i aey sallies were about clue when
the lieutenant-governor Intel tered by
calling both senatois to older.

The Vote Analyzed.
Senator Spioul's defection 1 ex
plained on the giound of dose pet
scmal friendship for Senator Magee
Senator Vaughan's lefusul to stnnl
with the Stalw.uts, even in tho face
of the fact that the iniluences which
secutcd the Scranton concessions tried
to pu-vnll upon him that ho was jeop
ntdizing Sctanton's Interests, is caus
ing no end of comment. Senator
V.uigli.in defends his defection with
the argument that he had comlmtted
hluwir against the "Kipper" nni
i ould not consistently vote for It.
TkCpresentatives Seheuer, James an I
Konolds aie s-ald to be disposed to
v ote loi the bill, as a matter of ex
pediency, although the 'Klppet"
clause may be distasteful to them.
Kcpie.sunt.ulve Phllbln's position Is
Ml to be determined.
The tluee lather severe jolts which
the Qunjitos ieceled In the lou"1'
jesterdity and today on the fee bill,
tho Hall adjournment resolution and
the Grady upoaler, show that the
Democrats and Insut gents have their
men moll In hand and this, coupled
with the fact that thete ate petslstent
mniois of an antl-"Klpper" ban el 1k

leadeia to concern themselves consid

A bill tntioduu'd bj Kepiescntutlvo
Mr. Fllnn, In stippottlng his amend
ment, said the bill was a most lem.atk
uble one, and he mildly repioved Sen
ator Muehlbionnci's nttltude on tho
bill. After his amendment had been
defeated, Mr. Fllnn discussed the bill
by sections and pointed out that many
fen tut os of the measuio weiu Incom
plete, anel some parts of It weie un
just, lie lefened to the so-called "rlp
pet" clause as the 'meat," the "Juicy
fiult" of the bill.
The whole bill, he said, was a mon
strosity and absolutely umiecessaiy.
Pittsburg Is a well-governed city, he
continued, nnd Its only purpose wns to
allow certain politicians to leach tho
top tluotish an upper window, Instead
of beginning at the bottom. He was
not pleading for mercy, but he had
hoped the book of factionalism would
be closed and that the puty would be
come leunlted, but he lound that was
now Impossible.
Mr. Focht Becomes Peisonnl.
Mi. Wcllet. of Hcdford, and Mr.
Focltt, of Unlen, followed Mr. rilnn.
Tho senator ftom Union severely ar
luigiietl those- who were tesponslble
tor the alleged luegitlailtles In the
municipal government of Plttsbiug,
and he argued that the puipose of the
bill was to ullcvt the city ot a t.vrau
nleal boss.
Mi. Fllnn usked hlui whom he meant,
to whli h Mr. Focht leplled: "I will bo
peifectly fiunk; 1 uiuleiutand It U
yourself."
Mi. Fllnn: "That's what I epeeted
to hear. The actions ot the senutoi
tioni Fnlon aio rather sttange, In view
ot the tact tint he did not know last
night how he would v ote texlaj ."
Mi. Focht leplhd he nhvavs knew
how he was going to ole, and lesented
the lemarks of the senator lioni Alle.
Klie.ii.
Mr. Fllnn's unswei was that he could
not vouch fur the stcny, but It was
being told all mound In the hotel eoi
ildors Ifo then launched Into a pas
sionate defense of himself, and pre
dicted that .Mi. Focht would never
leuch tho position of a bo-s. He- him.
self had leached political leadership
long befote he epected to, and char-ueteils-ed
the actions of the senitor
I torn Union lit bringing pel semantics
Into the debate as unfair and unmanly
and he ought to be ashumed of him
self In view or his position lust night
At this point Mr. Focht Jumped up
and stinted to vehemently deny the
Implication The lieutenant governor,
however, Intei posed nnd called both
senatois to oitlei.
After Senator Heinle, of Centre,
finery, of Mercer, and Mr. Fllnn had
fuither discussed the bill the vote on

When the senate bill wns called up
for second reading, Mr. Cooper moved

cnnctlng clauso and substituting his
proposition.
Mr. Voorhecs, of Philadelphia, lnlsed
the point of older that the amend
ment could not bo nttnehed to a io

Tho regiment will mobilize nt Lima.
The Flghth Ohio, or Hucjius, which

Is also under aims and ictidy to go to
Cincinnati at once.
Cincinnati, Feb. 13. 1'iesent indica
tions aio that the Jeftilts-i:uhlln box
lug contest will not take place at
Saengeifest hull next Friday nUht.
There is now as much doubt about tho
time und place as about the decision
of Judge Holllster.
Spotting edltots fiom all over the
eouutrv ai lived toclav und besieged
the unices and quaitcrs of Managers
Hi ad v, Madden, Cook and othets, who
told them that they could not advle
tin in as to anvthlng until tomonow
after noon. As soon ns Judge Holllster
shall render his decision the managers
will hold a confer erice with the dlieo
tcus of the Saengerfest Athletic asso
ciation and decide upon their plans for
the rutin e. Thev promle to make a
statement for the public as soon ns
possible In the afternoon.
In the absence of definite Infoima
tion today the local and visiting sport
ing cdltuis, together v 1th the mana
gers and ptoniotoiu held a sort of
meting of expostulation during the
uttcinnnn. "Mie g t I opinion was
that bad Uglm .i ac I odor, espe
cially In Olil a the time had
come tor n t . i, tlt "manlv
nit" In such . ir i i as to avoid
contllcts witli the law and at the same
time attract ladles an well os gentle
men. The newspaper men held unit
the pugilistic depaitment In their line
would bo diopptd fiom the papers un
less something was done Tho dhctH
slon bc'cnniu general ovei tho piopo
sltlon for a new name for such events.
It was claimed that the teims "glove
contests," "boxing contests," "spoi
ling matches. etc, mere too tmno to
attttitt eiowds. It was the universal
opinion that the old name, "prize
tights," must go if such events aie to
be pulled oft ot places where they can
be made most piofltubl?.
Will Abide by Decision.
,It Is conceded If Judge Holllster
giants the application for a pennanent
Injunction the contests will be post
poned toi some weeks, so ns to give
tn3 to cany the ease tluotigli the
elteult eoutt and thence to the Supremo
couit for final settlement. It Judge
Holllster i of uses an Injunction the
postponement Is not likely to bo for
moie than one week and It may bo
only io the Hist of next week.
It Is icgardod as possible that the
com t may giant what li known ns a
modified injunction, which would be a
lestialnlng older against holding pilzj
tights at Saengeifest hall, but not
against a boxing contest, such as that
which is named in tho peimit of
Mnvor Flelselunnnn. In this event,
ladlutl action Is expected fiom the
goveinoi, as the promoters would then
no doubt postpone the event for a. few
davs only and continue under the per
mit of the mayor and under the advlco
of counsel, holding that they weiO pio
c ceding without any intention of vio
lation of the lnw, and that It would be
tho mayor's part to see that the event
did not violate his permit or the law.
It Is learned on good aulhotlty to
night that tho decision ot Judga 'Hol
llster, on which he has been work
ing since Monday, mill bo very n at)
orate and unusually lengthy. It Is
announced that he will deliver It nt
II o'clock to-morrow morning.
While there nre reports about Gov
ernor Nash having thico or four icgl
merits under matching oidcrs, It Is not
believed here tint any ttoops will
leach the city thin week nt Irast. Tho
members of the Siunsoifest Athletic
association, us moll as the managers
of the contestants, Insist that they will
not attempt to pioeced If a perma
nent Injunction Is lisued against them,
nnd the general opinion Is that such
will be the rendering of the court. The
piomoters would then make no further
effoit to conduct the fight until nfter
they had applied to the Circuit und
Stiptomu couits, nnd It they aie de
feated In the couit of Inst lesoit, they
slate positively that they mill decline
the Hght off. Meantime the prosecut
ing nttoiney and sheilft are vigilant
and the Hunter still has Jeffries nnd
Ituhlln under bond on a charge of
ttalnlng for a prize tight. These cases
mill be called at once, If the Injunc
tion Is not Issued,
Jeffiles and all the members or the
large party that nre with him nt his
tinlniug quarters came Into the city
tonight fiom Price Hill, nnd enjoyed a
social session with the local and visit
ing sK)itlng editors.
Manager lirady and his assistant
wore with them. Spotting editors will
return the visit tnmoirow afternoon nt
the Jeffries training rpiniteis after tho
decision has been tendered.
