The sheriff ’ mid court rapped repeatedly and loudly 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 door, uttering cheer after cheer.

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.

[ 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 tainment. | 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.
