A Prize Fight in Indiana Which Came Near Ending in Murder. Curcaco, Jan. 22.—Young Murphy, the col- ored pugilist of Wisconsin, and Wm. Weston's unknown fought four rounds in an open-air ring near Hessville, Ind., yesterday, Although the mercury was at zero, the men stripped to the waist and fought with great desperation. In the fourth round Murphy knocked the un- known off his feet with a terrific blow under the jaw, which cut the flesh and started the blood to flowing in great streams. As soon as the unknown got on his feet he seized a bottle and cracked Murphy's second (another negro from Wisconsin) on the head and stretched him out upon the ground. The man’s face was cut in a frightfal manner, ‘THE BLOOD FREEZING AS IT RAN from the gashes. He lay insensible for half an hour. After having made this onslaught the unknown seized a ring stake and defended himself from the negroes, who were swarming into the ring with razors and threatening his life, His second then drew a revolver and both men made their escape. The fight was for #75 aside. The money is believed to be in the pockets of the stakeholder. — ee TEXAS MAY LOSE HER VOTE. An Error in the Returns Which It Will Be Hard to Correct in Time. Sr. Lovrs, Jan 22.—A dispatch from Austin, Texas, referring to the blunder committed by the presidential electors of that state in not signing their names on the envelope containing the vote of Texas, as required by law, and the consequent non-acceptance of it yes- terday by Acting Vice-President Ingalls, says Governor Ross on being advised of the information, immediately telegraphed all electors to meet at Austin at once and pre- pare another return in proper form. ‘There is some chance of not being able to do this in time, as some o' the electors live in remote parts of the (Soars state, but every possible effort will be made to accomplish it. If the electors can reach Austin by Thursday evening, and messenger Robertson, who left Washington at 3 p.m, yesterday ‘to’ bring the corrected returns, meets with no accident on the road, all will be well; but if the messenger’ misses asingle connection or meets with even two hours’ delay en route, or the electors fail to arrive in Austin Thursday evening, the trip cannot be made in time and the vote of Texas wi be counted when the final declaration is t Washington. yan sree akon FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. bi New York jap Retest, The fe wit re the ning closi the New York Stock Market, as reported by" special wire to Corson and Macartney, 1419 F street. 0. | c. || + wame | 0.

At a meeting last night of the inaug- ural committee on fireworks consider- able feeling was displayed —_ because the recommendations of the committee have not been approved by the subcommittee. Sev- eral members expressed indignation and some expressed a readiness to dissolve the committee atonce. Mr. Dickson and other members counselled moderation. It was finally decided to appoint a subcommittee composed of Dr. Adams, chairman of the committee, and Messrs. Dickson, Dumont, Offley, and Fletcher to wait upon the executive committee. The fireworks committee planned to spend about 5,000 for the display of fireworks besides the $1,500 to be offered as rizes to the flambeau clubs, The committee a8 been required by Chairman Britton to cut down its entire expenses to 5,000 which would permit them to use but about 23,500 for pyrotechnical display. Dr. Adams, the chairman of the fireworks com- mittee, is also a member of the executive committee, He was not present at the meeting last night. He said toa Srak re- porter to-day that IF HE HAD BEEN PRESENT last night he would have voted with his com- mittee. He thought the committee, which had done an immense amount of hard work, was justly indignant. He thought the fire-works was the part of the inau display that most of the eople woul see, while _ but Boob or 7,000 people can go to the ball and see the display; 60,000 or 70,000 will see the fire- worl THE ULTIMATUM. Dr. Adams this afternoon had an interview with Mr. Britton at inauguration head- uarters, When he came out he told a des reporter that Mr. Britton told him that there was no use arguing the question, that the committee could have but 5,000. . Adams said he would call his committee together and they would probably go ahead on the $5,000 basis, WHAT MR. BRITTON SAYS. Mr. Britton said to a Star reporter that he had to restrain all the subcommittees somewhat as each one thought their ‘ee share of the business was most important. Four $3,500 was expended in firewor! $2,500 for the aerial on. and f flambeau clubs, ‘is year they pro- posed to increase the ‘total to $5,000, atid he thought this sum would furnish an ex- tensive iy years Convictep or Lanceny.—James Gray, alias Dixon, a jet-black colored boy, was convicted in the Criminal Court for larceny from the Almira Rollins, January 4. Mr, x D. C., PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT. Cyril P. Benedict, the Adams Express Embezzler, to be Released. The President to-day granted a pardon in the case of Cyril P. Benedict, convicted in the District of Columbia of embezzlement of funds belonging to the Adams express company, by which he was employed. He was sentenced March 18, 1888, to three anda half years im- prisonment at Albany. Considerable effort was made at the time to secure his pardon, but the President refused tointerfere. Since then, however, the presi- dent of the Adams express company has exer- cised his influence in Benedict's behalf, and it was upon his representation that the President granted the pardon to-day. The President in his indorsement says: is con- allowing for deduction earned by good conduct, has served a sentence of about one year. His offense, though not to be excused, still lacks the vating elements of delibera- tion and the original intent to steal. His con- duct subsequent to the discovery of his crime has been such as to indicate it a severe sentence was not necessary to his reformation, and in my opinion all other p 3 of punish- ment have been fully accomplished.” : THE NATURALIZATION LAWS. Mr. Oates Reports in the House a Bill to Amend Them. Mr. Oates’ subcommittee on naturalization to-day reported to the judiciary committee of the House the bill which it had prepared in lien of all others amendatory of the naturalization laws. The provisions of the bill briefly stated are a requirement that an alien must reside five years in the United States before he can become a citizen; that at the expiration of that time he must appear in court and Prove his residence, good moral character, und tness for citizenship. In the case of a United States court notice of his intention must be served upon the representative of the United States and likewise in the case of a state court the representative of the state pov- | ernment must be notified and attend the hearing. ‘The present requirement of a declaration of intention to become a citizen is dispensed with, The bill was ordered to be rinted, and will be discussed at next Satur- jay’s session, The views that were expressed this morning appeared to indicate favorable | disposition of ‘the bill. - NOT TO BE RETIRED. Judge Advocate General Swaim Found Not Incapacitated. Speculation about the Swaim retirement was ended this afternoon by an official an- nouncement at’ the War department that the retiring board had reported that General Swaim was not found to be incapaci- tated for active service. and is therefore not eligible to retirement. The report was taken over to the cabinet meeting this morning by Secretary Endicott and the case was discussed. The Secretary, with the papers in his ‘ket, went to lunch and tele- honed the ultimatum to the department from is house. EFFECT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT. As the news spread the satisfaction among the officers became quite evident, and consid- erable surprise was expressed. ‘i This precludes any further action in the case unless the President should take advantage of the extreme power allowed him and send he nomination of a successor to Gen. Swaim to the Senate. SUCH A COURSE is not only unusual and unlikely, but is considered hazardous, and it is not thought that the President will take any further steps in the matter. Thus ends Gen. Black's chances for the judge-advo- cate generalship of the army, for the only thing that can be done now with Gen. Swaim is a pardon which would restore him to his status and duties and would leave no va- cancy. = THE SUNDAY REST BILL. Petitions for and Against its Passage. Senators Blair, Wilson, of Iowa; Hoar, Evarts, Cullom, Dawes, and Stockbridge to- day presented petitions, numerously signed, praying for the passage of the Blair Sunday rest bill, Senator Spooner presented a memo- rial, signed by Mrs. 8. J. Clarke, president, and Miss Mary F. Bailey, secretary of the women’s board of the Seventh Day Baptist general conference of the United States, pro- testing against the passage of the Sunday rest bill. The memorialists say that they repre- sent several thousand women who conscien- tiously regard Saturday as God’s holy day, and that to require by legal enactment any religious observance on the part of any persons contrary to their faith is an interfer- ence with their constitutional rights, WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Cumutative Leaves Lecat.—The statement recently published that Secretary Endicott is contemplating an order prohibiting the accumulation of army officers’ leaves from ear to year was denied at the War Department to-day. It is stated that this custom is authorized by a law which allows an officer to draw four months’ cumula- tive leave at once. Cot. Epwin F. Townsenp, twelfth infantry, has been granted two months’ extension of leave. Post CuarLain Wa. J. Lanxry, recently ap- ee has been ordered to duty at Fort eridan, Tl.

Ingalls has had his atten- tion called to an apparent misconception of the privileges of the Senate floor accorded to Sen- ate employes, and in a communication to Ser- geant-at-Arms y he says that the admis- sion of the officers of the ‘The situation in Samoa, as reported by the Press dispatches, was atheme much talked about at the capitol to-day. Democratic con- gressmen were not inclined to say much that might be construed as criticising the adminis- tretion The sentiment generally seemed to be that no action should be taken or even criticism passed until information comes official channels. Reprblicans are averse to vussing the matter to any extent publicly, in view of the fact that the matter may go over to the new edministrat rebar | Faotnemngy mp to em- barrass President-elect ison in so import- ant a matter. They, . with some warmth of the inactive and ble policy which they say has been pursued by Mr. Bay: ard to which they attribute the it situation of affairs in Mr. lorrow, of California, they say, frequently urged upon Mr. Bayard to ing American rights in Samoa. They say there is no foreign interest in Samoa as strong as ours. CONSUL-GENERAL SEWALL'S TESTIMONY. Consul-General Sewall, of Samoa, has re- turned from New York, and expects to appear again to-morrow morning before the Senate committee on foreign relations. It is probable that at that meeting some action will be taken expressing the committee's opinions upon the Situation at Samoa, AWAITING INFORMATION. Whatever exaggeration there may have been in the accounts published as to the action of the Germans in Samoa, no doubt is expressed that American interests are threatened more or less aggressively. Whatever action is neces- sary to their protection should be taken Promptly. But there is no disposition to say what should be done now or to question the present action of the State Department for the reason that it is not known what that department may be doing in the matter, It is held. however, to be an evidence of want of firmness on the part of Mr. Bayard that the so far, It may be that the Germans have not committed any act of violence against prop- erty of American citizens, yet there seems to be no question that they are seeking to estab- lish a power of their own there that must of necessity jeopardize our interests, THE THIRD PARTY. The dispatches from London that relate toa conference between Minister Phelps and Lord Salisbury upon this eubject,and states that Eng- third party to the treaty, will join United States to preserve the integrity of this treaty, is regarded as an indication that Mr. Bayard has been paying more attention to the matter than it has been supposed he was. Of course it isclaimedan — y tothe American flag must be resented by the U.S. goverment, and promptly resented, but if Germany is guilty of no more than an attempt to acquire more power in Samoa than she has a right to under the treaty, of which England, Germany and the United States are party, then England is as much bound to defend the integrity of that treaty as is the United States. If England were dinposnd to act in league with Germany we would have to look out for our own interests enly and to act independently, THE TRUTH OF THE STATEMENT in the London dispatches is not assured, but it is not considered at all unlikely that England would be prompt to join the United States in checking German aggression. Under the pres- ent German emperor the relations between England and Germany are more or less strained. The anti-English feeling in Germany is pronounced, and England watches the Ger- man movements with a jealous eye. Under these circumstances it is expected that England | and the United States will make it sufficiently plain to Germany that the treaty provisions must be observed. As to the insult to the American flag more in- formation is awaited. The action of the State department must depend upon the character of the information received officially. At the Navy department it is understood they are anxious to take as vigorous action in this matter as was taken as to the seizure of the Haytien Republic. They are held in restraint only by the State department. ferential THE PURCHASE OF SCHOOL SITES. The Taulbee Committee Awaiting the Commissioners’ Reply. The Taulbee committee to investigate the purchase of school and other public building | sites by the District Commissioners held no | meeting to-day.
