They say it was about the settlement of the Pendleton Park case. The Missouri house of representatives has passed by a vote of 77 to 42 a bill pro- hibiting base bail on Sunday.

OPPOSING THE BIG FIGHT. ‘The Anti’s in Nevnda Do Not Receive Mach Encouragement. RENO, Nev., February 3.—The prize fight still continues to be the chief topic of con- versation in all communities in the western part of the state. "Strenuous efforts are be- ing made against the proposed fight com- ing off in Nevada, bit the advocates of cp- position are woefufl¥ in the minority, An indignation meeting was held here Sunday evening, and Monday several persons from this. place went to Carson to see what could be done to prevent Corbett and Fitz- simmons meeting in this state. The press of Nevada, with perhaps two or three exceptions, is entirely non-com- mittal on the subject, and, as the n.ajority of the people are evidently in favor of the new law, and a great many who.den't be- léve in prize fighting, yet always want to be with the biggest: crowd, give their silent assent, the reformers are finding it, some- what difficult to make any headway. The citizens of Reno generally regard the fight as a good thing for the state, and are work. ing to secure it, for the advent of the se} | crak thousand strangers that may reaso: ably be expected to witness the great con- test will, in a measure, advertise the state's climate and the health-giving mineral springs. in which Nevada abounds.

Yale is said to be making another and final effort to get a separate race with Har- vard. If this*falls through, the manage- ment of the boat club will petition the faculty to allow the crew to go to Henley. Yale men believe that a contest will be ar- rarged with Harvard, and will use all the influence in their power to bring this about. The final decision in the matter will be made within a very short time. The nego- rot be until Yale is convinced that it is im- possible for her to row Harvard this sea- son. The graduates have been a opinion regarding the advisability of Yale entering the Harvard-Cornell race, and ave voted almost unanimously against uch a move. The vote was so overwhelm- ing that there is no chance left that Yale will ask to enter this contest. ed for their Admission Shall Not Exceed §1. A bill was introduced in the Nevada sen- ate yesterday afternoon providing that the admission to any glove contests held in Nevada should not exceed $1. The bili will probably pass.

Ben Brush, who for the last three years has been the crack of M. F. Dwyer's sta- ble, and of whom the handicapper thought so well that he placed him third in Brook- lyn handicap list at 12% pounds, and sixth in the suburban list at the same weight, is said to have thrown a large-sized splint. if the splint is as bad as represented, Ben Brush will hardly be able to start in the Brooklyn handicap, and if he cannot be made ready for this event he certainly will be out of the sweepstake race to be run a week later. —— WANTS HIS CHILD CARED FOR. An Italian’s Serious Charge Against His Wife. An attachment was issued from the Po- lice Court today for the arrest of Diana Roma, a young Italian girl, in compliance with an information sworn to by the father of the girl, Joseph Roma, who asks that Diana be committed to the care of the board of children’s guardians. The infor- mation sets forth that Diana is “a child urder the age of sixteen years, to wit: fif- teen years, and is kept in vicious and im- meral associations, and is herself vicious and immoral.” According to the story of the father, his wife has caused and permitted Diana to tegin a career of immorality. Joseph is the proprietor of fruit stands at ‘th street and Pennsylvania avenue and D street near th street. The girl has acted as clerk at these establishments, and her comely face has attracted much attention. The hus- band declares that his wife has taken the girl to live a life of shame. It is understood that Mrs. Roma tells a different story. Diana will be taken before Judge Miller in the Police Court tomorrow. ———__ Snow Cases.
