SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS. NOT IN TEXAS WILL CORBETT AND FITZSIM MONS HAVE THE Hi II JUT. Tlie Legislature Passes an Anti-Prize Figlit Law. A Special from Austin, Texas, says: Corbett and Filzsimmous must find another place than Texas to pull off their light for the proposed champion ship of the world. Tho legislature by a vote that was practically unanimous in the senate and only a little less in the house, pass ed the bill prohibiting prize fighting, and thus accomplished the purpose for which the governor assembled them in special session. the bill The voto by which was car ried furnishes tho strongest proof of the sentiment of the state with refer ence to prize fighting. The only rally ing point ot the minority was opposi tmn to the emergency clause which carried the bill into immediate effect. Certain of the members honestly re garded this as an injustice to such of the citizens of Dallas as had spent it. . large sums „ in . actuation .... of , the fight and opposed it for that reason alone. Their arguments were not effectiye, however, and the vote in the house on the final passage of the bill .ho»M but five votes in opposition with 107 in its fever. Ip' the senate the bill was carried with only one negative vote in the twenty-seven that were cast. The senate made quick work of the measure.

The bill makes prize fighting a fel ony and imposes a punishment upon the principals for every infraction of the law by imprisonment in the peni tentiary for a term of not less than two and not more than five years. THREATENED COMPLICATIONS Witli England Over the Venezuelan Boundary Line. A special to the New York Herald from Washington says: The great in ternational question of the hour is the Venezuelan boundary dispute. Secretary Olney has prepared a dis patch to Ambassador Bayard which will soon bring the matter to an issue. This dispatch is of a most positive and unequivocal nature. As soon as it shall be placed before the British gov ernment it will raise an issue which can be settled only by the retreat of one or the other governments. The staud taken by the UuitedStates in this dispatch is one which involves the oldest and most sacred traditions of the government—an enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. Secretary Olney’s dispatch is in sub stance a declaration in the most posi live language that the United State? will never consent to British occupa tion of the disputed territory in Ven ezuela unless that nation’s right there to is first determined by arbitration. In polite but firm and significant words, Secretary Olney declares it to be the belief of the United States govern ment that the territorial claims which Great Britain has set up in Venezuela are in the nature of an attempt to seize territory on the American continent to which she has no legal right. The secretary points out two horns to the dilemma, leaving Great Britain tc choose which she will accept. First. If the y! quarrel with Venezuela snriey. wAzjsptizgz v or other'mlmnclant.ad.Dn . , .. a refusal to arbitrate the same is eon trarv to the precedent, ot Great Brit, am herself and con trary to the practroa of all civilized nations. Second. If, on the other hand, a. appears.to be the case, and i. the be lief of the president of the United States, the depute as to the location of a boundary line is a mere disguise under wmch Great Britain is attempt ing by superior force .to extend her territorial possessions in America, this is directly violative of the Monroe doctrine, and will never be,submi£ted to by the United States.
