In the Seuate.
Special to Tin: Am'okiax.I
Washington, May 29. In the sen
ate this morning Dawes reported back
favorably from the committee on In
dian affairs, tho bill granting right of
way to the Northern Pacific railroad
through Yakima Indian reservation in
the stale of Washington.
Stewart rose to a question of per
sonal privilege for the purpose of
making a statement bearing upon irri
gation matters.
He said that a large number of ap
propriations had been made for topo
graphical surveys, which were- alto
gether useless. All that tho people
wanted congren to do was to establish
rescp'oirs for irrigation purposes. The
work Major Powell, of the geological
survey, was doing was practically of
no value toward the accomplishment
of the ends desired; that of looking to
the successful carrying out
of plans of irrigation as origin
ally proposed and such as
settlers of the west expect and have a
right to demand. He protested in the
name of these people against the out
rageous way in which Major Powell
had been running the geological
survey: that he had really done noth
ing except mane a great sctennuc per
formance for the next generation, but
nothing for the present generation.
These remarlcs were brought forth
owing to tin interview with Major
Powell, published in the Star yester
day evening.
The original package bill was again
taken up, and the senate, as agreed
yesterday, will sit to-day until a vote
is reached and tho bill disposed of.
Original package bill discussed sev
eral hours without any action.
The entire afternoon was devoted to
this bill, and debate was general. At
5 o'clock the bill was passed by a vote
of 31 yeas to 10 nays. The negative
vote was entirely by the Democrats.
Mitchell and Stewart voted in favor
of the bill. The senate then went into
executive session, and at G:15 ad
journed till Monday.

every advantage, and though Mc
Carthy forced the fight he received a
hard smash on .the jaw, and in the
third round was bleeding profusely
from a bad cut over the eye.
In the fourth round Fitzsimmons
smothered his man with a shower of
blows, receiving no return. This con
tinued, round after round, McCarthy
being jabbed to death.
As the gong rang for the end of the
ninth round, Fitzsimmons delivered a
terrific left-hander squarely on Mc
Carthy's nose, knocking him down.
When the gong rang for the tenth
round McCarthy was unable to re
spond and the fight was given to the
New Zealander.
Although he is ungainly in his style
of fighting, ho has natural advantages
that few middle weights can overcome,
and is very clever with both hands.
