"Too much cannot be said of his ability
when he was a lightweight," said llo
gan. "He then stood over lightweights
as Fitzsimmons now stands over middle
weights. Jack was clever, game and a
good hitter, and a humane fighter.
There is no man who can fail to admire
the humanitv of Fitzsimmons, and
there is no doubt that as a middleweight
he is the peer of all the men in that
class."
Paddy Ryan, the ex-champion, was
one of the first to "tip" Fitzsimmons off
as the coming man, and when ?it.ira
nions fought McCarty he advised all
his friends to put their money on the
former. "I thought he would whip
Dempsey," said Paddv toaay. .

They soon succeeded in being received

Their happiness lasted until the police
arrested Roux, on the complaint of the
French minister in this city.
It seems that it was Roux's custom to
entice pretty young girls from their
homes in France by offering them dia
monds and imaginary wealth in Amer

ocean, he would place them in disorderly
houses. It is claimed that he has ruined

of Capt. McDougal is to build ships for

What the Krlcmls of the Silver Bill
Think.
Wahiiinoton, D. C, Jan. Ill The Star
says: From the general tenor of con
versation among the silver majority in
the .Senate it was apparent thjvtjhey
regarded theiT'victory as merely due to
the force of the irresistible popular de
mand which they believe will make
itself fult in a similar manner in the
house, and ultimately in the executive
maimion. More cautious and conserva
tive friends are inclined to think that
the action of the senate will prove to
have been a fortunate thing for the coun
try. It may serve to satisfy the strong crav
ing of the Went and South for financial
relief and thus prevent a recourse to
more extreme measures in the way of
the suu-treasury scneinea ui nut mum:',
which are meditated so seriously by the
Farmers' Alliance and rural political
agitators in the interior of the country.

but rather gloomily.

any hardor than when punching the bag.
I told Dempsey that I was too much for
him laBt night and he had better given
up, but lie would not and I had to keep
it up, much to my regret. His game
ness cost me $5000, which had been
promised me in case I won in 10 rounds."
Fitzsimmons received congratulatory
telegrams from all over tho country, and

the various consuls are going to protest
against the blockade. The blockade ex
tends to Coquimbo. All the telegraph
wires north of Valparaiso have been cut.

In that event it ia probable that the
flagship San Francisco will go north
with all the available wooden vessels not
needed at Honolulu and Samoa, leaving
the Charleston to cruiBe along the coast
of Central and South America.
If the present disturbed condition of
affairs in Chili continues a vessel will be
needed on the coast of that country at
once to look after American interests in
case of hostilities, and the Charleston
would probably be assigned for this
duty.

Oglesby the Candidate.
Springfield, 111., Jan. 10 Ex-Governor
Richard J. Oglesby was last night
nnminntpd hv the ioint Republican cau
cus as a candidate for the United States
Senate, to succeed Charles B. Farwell.
The formal ballot was taken, with the
following result: Oglesby (54, Farwell
30, Gresham 4, Ross 1, Hammer 1. The
nomination of Oglesby was made unanimous.
The Democratic joint caucus was also
held last night. It was resolved that as
the State convention unanimously nom
inated John M. Palmer last summer the
endorsement of the causus was unneces
sary. The fact that members had eaid
thev would not vote for the caucus nom
inee of either party may have had some
thing to do with this.
Seattle, Jan. 10 The committee of
the city council and representative
bodies of citizens appointed to prepare
amendments to the charter met last
evening in the board of aldermen's room.
Those present were: Aldermen W. N.
Snyder and Moses Korn, Delegate S. M.
Shipley; R. H. Goldie and K. J. JNeu
felder, of the Board of Trade; T. W.
Prosch and J. T. Ronald, of the Cham
ber of Commerce; Alexander Wane, oi
the Western Central Labor Uuion, and
J. T. McCorry, of the Builders' Associa
tion. Delegate Hanford, the other mem
ber, was absent.
Mr. Korn called the committee to
order and, on motion of Mr. Neufelder
seconded by Captain Snyder, Thomas
W. rroscn was unanimously t-mtveu
chairman and R. H. Goldie secretary.
Mr. Prosch called lor suggestions as to
the course to be pursued.
Mr. Korn said he proposed that each
noivihor nf thp pnmmittPO tllorOUSrlllV
familiarize himself with the charter and
at the next meeting Drmg in any recom
mendations he had to mane.
Mr. lionald said that the ofl'-hand
objections which occurred to him were
to the woraing oi some oi um uniiiiaiii-cD
under the charter rather than to the
barter itself. His understanding ot the
duties of the committe was that it
should prepare what alterations should
be made, in view of the experience the
people nad nau aim rcpuiu .iiiil-iiuiiiciud
to the council. All classes were repre-
onrl otli.h nilP Hllnllld TH'Oniire

it would present itself as a whole.
Cimtain Snvder favored general con
sideration first, submission oi amend
ments and reference to sub-committees.
Mr. McCorry advocated taking the ar
ticles up seriatim and then submitting it
to eub-committees. Mr. Walls favored
the same course, but Mr. Goldie opposed
sub-committees. As there were only 10
of them, they had better work as a com
mittee ot the wnoie, considering omy

doing a moro united result would be ob
tained. He objected to tne appointment
of sub-committees, on the ground that
the members of each sub committee
would be familiar with tho subject they
nan to ut'ai u i in, line uie un.i.i
bers of the full committee would not,
and thus would not be in a position to in
telligently consider eacu report wiuiuui,

Mr. Korn proposed to show that the
charter was a failure by the working of
, .1... ...I 1 ,11.-1 nt
it and to snow tnat tne necis um nun
work together. The council was blamed
for everything, when the fault lay with
the board of public works. He in
stanced an order by the board of public
works for the building of a scow or a
ship, or something of ihe kind.
Mr. rroscii proposeu unit tney win
appoint about ten .committees, the re
n,irt,s nf which should be taken up one
or two each evening. They should act
first on these reports aim, wuen mo
whole was done, go over it all again lor
final action.
Mr. Korn moved that the recommen
dation of the chair be adopted and this
was carrieu uiuiiinnuusiv.
Mr. Korn moved that a copy of each
ordinance passed under the charter be
procured for each member, but on ob
jection said he would be satisfied with
a single copy ior tne wnoie cummince.
Mr. Goldie said that the committee
had been appointed, not to revise or find
fault with the ordinances passed under
the charter, but to offer suggestions re
garding the revision of the charter.
Mr. Goldie offered the use of the com
mittee rooms of the Board of Trade as a
place of meeting, but the committee ad
journed to meet in the board of alder
men's room at 7 :30 next Thursday even
ing. Chairman Prosch will announce
the committees through the newspapers.
