would cover a case like this. He said:
“Tho injunction is granted.”
When the court n-ached a decision tho
andienee could not restrain itself, but

for order. Colonel Cockerell jumped to
his feet, raised Ins hand in admonition
and said:
•‘(.Tentlemon, I bog you to remember
this is a courtroom.”
Tho crowd made a wild rush for the

KUvilfitiA.. FttlDdl Mt ICNhMi, JANUaikY 2-, 1
oy voionei vociceren. with Judge
I Young; that for the state by State's At
'• torney Hartridge, with whom was asso
ciate I Attorney General Lamar.
The argument was begun at 10 o’clock
and lasted until 1, when the case was
submitted. Judge Call pulled ont his
watch aud announce I that the court was
adjourned until 3 o'clock. There was
considerable disappointment that a de
cia.o i had not been reached, and the big
crowd tiled out.
The lawyers for the clnb made an
effort to have the case decided on the
merits ot the law. The state fought for
a decision on the question of equity,
maintaining that the court htvl no juris
diction to decide the question of law as
to whether glove coutusta were prohibit-,
ed by statue. The club people were
■V. CHARLES MITCHELL,
much encouraged when the jnlgi asked
Mr. Lamar to discuss the contention of
the complainants that a glove contest
was not illegal. After Mr. Lam ir had
finished his discussion of the question
the judge asked the complains its’ at
torneys io discuss it also, ai.il they did
With goo t elf -ct.
They m lintainol that there was no
law m the state of Fiori la Which nro
hibitsl even prize fights, and Colonel
. Cockrell defied tis attorney gen *ral to
: cite one inst ance where a conviction had
bieu secured in a stale in which there
was no specific statue pastel for tho
prevention of prize fights.
Judge Young reinforced him with the
argument that the old duelling statute—
the statute designed to prevent fighting
ly appointment—whicii the attorney
general maintained was prohibitory of
glove contests, prize lights or whatever
they may be Vailed, contemplated fight
ing with weapon*. That these articles
of agreement umier which Corbett and
Mitchell were to co itest lor athletic su
premacy contemplated glovea gloves
allowed by law- -a ad that the city of
Jacksonville had passed an ordiuame
tinder the right gixeu it Uy the-etato-in
its special charter regulating legal gloves
at live ounce*.
Colonel Cockerell followed Judge
Young in the statement that the basis of
a fight was nia*ce and anger. That
there was no inaTice nor auger in this
case. It was to be a friendly contest—a
scientific exhibition He also main
tained that in a prize fight it was not

1 show, that bodily injury should be

[ The state’s attorney aud tho attorney

I kitten
l ■ general made their strong fight on tho
pquity part of the proceedings. Mr.
‘ L inmr said that an injunction would
1 not lie wherein there w.is redress at law.
The complain nits, ho added, had failed
to show that the redress provide I by the
sheriff was m;vi< quite. They had only
-.made v.True and imcrtain cl iiuis that
the sheriff would <1 imago the club irre-
> p.irably by interfering w.t’a the enter

| He also .argued th tas a poaco offieor
. the sheriff had a right to enter mto tbo
i premises of tho Duval Athletic clnb
with a sufficient ibreo to eonuerve the
p.-ace.
The club sitlo maintained that tho
sher.ff had announced that he would
take possession of the premises until the
entertainment was abandoned and that
he had no right to assume that this ex
bition was to boa violation of the law. •
He had no evidence further than the til
• tides of agreement as to the character
i of that entertainment and no right be
| y ond that evidence and assume that
. there was going to be a breach of the
peace. Judge Young said that the club
did not ask the court to enjoin a poaco
officer in the discharge of his duty, but
I that the sheriff intended to go beyond
his duty and do an illegal act under tho
color of his office.
a great commotion aria jtfii uflßmuoa
was furnished to the loungers on West
Bay street. Three guards from ths
Second battalion, Florida state troops,
quartered in the Wilson battery’s ar
mory at tho foot of Market street,
marched down town, looking business
personified. Each man wore around his
waist a belt filled with loaded cartridges
anti carried on his shoulder a rifle with
a fixed bayonet attached.
I It seems that a number of the men
had escaped from the barracks and a
guard was detailed to make a search and
arrest them wherever found. Upon
reaching the corner of Hogan street the
guard descried a squad of tho missing
men approaching aud immediately gave
chase, but the quarry was too fleet for
them, and although several hundred peo
ple joined in the run and added to its
effectiveness a pandemonium of howls
and yells, nil of the pursued made good
their escape but two, who were inarched
back in disgrace,
FILIBUSTERING.
The Income Tax Will Have a
Hard Tussle.
BOURKE COCHRAN LEADER.
The Absence of a Quorum Was
Suggested by the Thin
Attendance.
Washington. Jan. 25.—Immediately
after the resiling of the journal Botirke
Cockran took the flrat step in filibustering
against the income tax bill by suggest
ing the absence of a quorum, and the
roll call was ordered.
The call of tho roll on Cockran’s fili
buster against the income tax showed
the presence of 290 members—l 3 more
tl>Mk a quorum. Mr. Haines was the
only Democratic member of tbe New i
York delegation who answered to his I
Ba 2? e ’ 1
Republican members from New York ’
did not join in the filibustering nor did
the Democrats from other states.
BY A PARTY VOTE
The McCreary Resolution Was Reported
to the llouko.
TfAsniNGTON, Jan. 25.—The house
committee on foreign affairs, by a strict
party vote, authorized Mr. McCreary of
Kentucky to report favorably his reso
lution defining the "Attitude of congress
towards Hawaii.
The resolution reads as follows and
will probablv be reported to the house:
Resolved, first. That it is the sense of
i this house that the action ot the U nite-l
! States minister in employing United
States naval torces and in illegally aid
ing in overthrowing the constitution il
government of Hawaiian islands m Jan
uary. 1893. anti in setting up in its plac •,
a provisional government not Republican
in form, and in opposition to the will of
a majority of the people was contrary
to the traditions of our rspublic anti tie
sp rit of our constitution, and should be
and is < oiidf-mned.
Second, That w« hardly approve of
the principle announced by tho pr .-sident
of tue United States that any interfer
ence with the domestic all liri of an in
dependent nation is contrary to the spirit
of the American constitution; an I it is,
further, the sense of this house that the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands to
our country on the assuinptio.i of a pro
tectorate over there by our government,
is uncalled tor, and is inexpedient.
That the people of tint country should
have absolute freedom and independence
in pursuing their own line of policy, and
jjwtjj’oreign intervention in the political
affairs of the islands will not Ixj regard
ed with indifference by the government
of tfee United States.
The resoluttoft represents the senti
ments of aiuo Democratic members of
tho committee and will form a basis et
tire discussion of the Hawaiian matter
in the bouse. Chairman McCreary ex
pects to bring th* matter to the atten
tion of the houge as soon os the tariff
bill is disposed fff; Tuesday or Wednes
day night.
The Republican members of the com
mittee spoke and voted against the reso
lution, and will file a minority report
and substitute far tho McCreary resolu
tion. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, the Republi
can leader in the committee, was unable
to attend tho meeting on account of sick •
ness.
He will probably draw up a minority
report and substitute for tho McCreary
resolution. The nature of the report and
substitute cannot be ascertained until
Mr. Hitt is consulted by bis Republican
colleagues.
After Davenport Again.
Washington, Jan. 25.—Congressman
Dunphy has introduced in the house, at
Postmaster Dayton's request, a resolu
tion calling upon the secretary of tho
treasury and tho attorney general for
i information as to whether John I. Dav
i enport is rightfully in possession of any
I room in tho New York postollice bail
- ing. aud if not. what remedy the gov
[ ernment has against- such unlawful in
ti t:-ion upo.: and uso of its property.
; Mr. Dunphy has no doubt that, in view
-of the decision of the circuit court, un
; der which Davenport was forced to va
cate bis ropms in the building list fall,
an order will be issued to Mr. Dayton, as
custodian of tho building, to eject Mr.
Davenport from the room lie is now oc
cupying.
INMAIto BUKimED.
xln Insane Asy]ain Destroyed With Fear
ful Fatalities.
Boone, la., Jan. 25.—The building on
the Boone county poor farm, in which
tne incurably insane were confined, was
burned at 10 o'clock and eight of the
nine inmates were burned to death.
Only one woman, Mrs. Hibbard, es
caped from the burning building and
gave the alarm to Steward Holcomb,
who was in the main building adjacent.
It was then too late to save the insane
people and the main building was saved
only by the greatest effort. The stew
ard says he banked the fires in the fur
nace about 9 o’clock, and does not know
how the fire originated unless from a de
fective flue. The dead are: Tommy
Tucker, John Annasniggs, Anna Soder-
Lurg, Christine Andersoh, Christine Pe
terson, Mrs. Scott, Tom Leaser and Jo
seph Craig.
A CANAL SCHEME.
A Kentuckian Who Claimß Great Advan
tage Over the Nicaragua.
Tocoma, Wash., Jan. 25.—Mr. Kar
wiese, a Kentucky civil engineer, who
has arrived here from the United States
of Colombia on business connected with
the new state capitol, has charts, draw
ings and estimates for an ocean level
ohm canal which, awing, to h*r*tofore j
unawcovarn.i natural formations aftti
fissures in the back none of the Cordil- I
lerus. can Is constructed within three
years fur $88,000,000 less than the Nicar- I
ugua cauul.
At the point where Mr. Karweise
claim* to have made hi*.discoveries the |
tides of the Atlantis and Pacific oceans I
approach within 18 in.les of each other. '
This, in connection with the new fit- I
■tires discovered in the Cordilleras, re- |
suits from the lagoons and maraht sos the '
Gulf of Darien on the Atlantic side and
ths Sau Miguel bay on the other.
Mr. Karweise tavore the joint build
ing by all nations of a double track ship
can'll at 'he point of his dis<-overies, and
the setting aside of a neutral zone.
He doe. not believe in the feasibility 1
of the 168-mile-long liit local Nicaragua
canal. i
He say* th* route of his proposed ca- ,
mil is directly south of the easieru isth- I,
tun* bend, and actually in the north- |
western corner of tn* Booth American ;
continent. | 1
Tne distance between t'as points whera >
the ocean tines en lis 18 3 8 in l.«, and j,
the total length of the combine 1 canal I j
works, inclu ling an 11,890 feet tunnel 1
length, is 8 5 8 miles. '
Mr. Karweise estimates the total cost
of such a canal at $18,000,009.
He says the hariwr.-t at ths termini are
ot magnificent proportions, and maybe',
counted as the finest and safest on ths i
t o.itment, being San Miguel 1 ly on tne ■'
Pacific side and the Gulf of Darien on .
the Atlant-C side.
Taere will be no interior work, neces
sary dredging excepted; therefore no
railro id line lor the transporrat.on of
heavy budding mater.al w.ll to neces
sary.
Guo look at each end for the protec
tion of the shipping trade againsc high
tubs, volcaii c tidal waves and other u:i
foreseen distui banc< s will be sufficient.
Tile canal will be a qu idruple chann d
for about 11 miles at tue free naviga
tion level. The total length will not ex
