Fourteen Round Contest at Gainesville
Between Johnson and Walker
the
Still in Doubt
Special to the Gazette
Gainesviixh Tex Feb 11 The
much talked of pugilistic contest between
John Johnson of Kansas and John Walk-
er of Dallas came off in this city last
night About one hundred persons wit-
nessed the contest The match was four-
teen rounds with sixounce gloves Mar-
quis of Queensbury rules and the winner
to receive all the gate money The con-
testants entered the ring about 930 Jim
Sevier was second for Johnson while
Frank Mills performed a like service for
Walker W J barter of this city was
chosen as referee
The contest opened in a lively and
vigorous manner though it was apparent
that Johnson was in much better form
and more proficient in the science of
boxing He managed to get out of the
way of Walkers blows and got in some
good righthanders on his opponents
face Tho contestants clinched several
times during the match and pounded each
other vigorously until separated John-
son would make a lead for his opponents
face and then fall on the floor but was
told by the referee to stop such tactics as
neither could win and that was
not tha ± way lighting was done in Texas y
Up to the seventh round neither party
had gained any decided advantage and
neither was much punished In the
seventh however Johnson got in a good
one on Walkers nasal organ which
caused the claret to flow copiously
First blood was allowed for Johnson
After this the contest continued with
varying results though Johnson ap-
parently had the best of it At the end
of the fourteenth round the referee de-
clared the contest a draw and all bets off
Walkers face was badly bruised and
Johnson apparently received little pun-
ishment The sympathy of the crowd
was with Walker though this appeared
not to discomfit the Kansas man in the
least as he slugged away vigorously after
each round of cheers for the Texas man
The decision of the referee still leaves
the matter in doubt as to the champion-
ship between Kansas and Texas

CLEAR SAILING AGAIN
Austin Tex Feb 14 The storm
had cleared away this morning Tho
members were as quiet as lambs and
worked together like brothers The bill
requiring railroads to provide special
coaches for colored passengers
went through to a third read-
ing without trouble and will go through
easily The bill regulating receiverships
was considered amended and was pend-
ing when the house adjourned
A PROBABLE DILUMMA
It was generally agreed today that
both bodies would adjourn from tomor-
row to Tuesday to give the furnishers of
thek capitol time to put down
the carpels and a great many
members left for homo tonight
Lafe this evening however it was
learned that the carpets had not come
andit is probable the house will find it-
self without a quorum
The committee on federal relations will
tojnorrow report adversely the biil ap-
propriating money for a statue of Hous-
ton to be placed in the capitol at Wash-
ington The committee recommends the
purchase of such a statue for the state
capitol grounds

early day and become a law in time for

am glad you have introduced the bill and
hope it may become a law as it would

A REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE TALKS
The local correspondent of The Ga
S5ETTE today met Elias Mays one of
the two colored members ot the Twenty
first legislature Mays represents Brazos
county whose capital is Bryan and has
tho agricultural and mechanical college
a branch of the state university in it
Mays is an educated representative of his
race and had his first experience as a
public nian in the office of school trustee
He lived a great many years in the
county of Grimes which adjoins Brazos
both of which counties have large colored
population He was elected to and
served in the Sixteenth legislature and
again to the present house of representa-
tives Mays says that although a Re-
publican his position is conservative
The correspondent introduced the subject
of the charges of the suppression of
colored votes in the South made by
Northern Republicans and asked him if
he believed it was true From what I
have heard said Mays I believe it is
time of Fort Bend and Washington
counties to some extent
How about your own county Bra
zos
Oh as to my county said the col-
ored representative the colored people
have nothing to complain of We and the
white people always get along together
on the most friendly terms I recognize
the fact and we all do that the interests
of the colored and white people of Texas
are the same We are all pursuing the
same object No there has been no
troubl e in my county
1 Can you say the same about adjoin-
ing counties m
1 fI can say the same about Grimes
Madison Burleson and Falls The rela-
tions of the white and the colored people
have been of the most amicable
nature
Speaking your sentiments as a repre-
sentative of the colored race in Texas
what are your views on the proposition of
Senator Sherman for the Federal govern-
ment to take entire charge of the con-
gressional elections
1 am a Republican said Mays
but I do not want to see any extreme
measures either by Democrats or Repub-
licans Both parties ought to do the
honest fair and square thing in the mat-
ter of congressional elections I think
both the Federal government and the
states ought to be fairly represented on
both sides at the polls
4 You know the Sherman bill is the
same as saying to the states we
cant trust you Is thatright
No I think everything ought to be
done fairly and no advantage taken of
anybody

Sidney Ohio Feb 11 The birth of
two monstrous children oeeurred here
within the past three days In the case
of the first child the entire top of the

an inch above the eyes was misshur the
place was covered with a film
through which the brain partly missing

hours A traveling quack doctor Tvho
made a specialty of treating catarrh
called at the house several months ago and
discoursed to the mother the virtues of
his remedy During his talk he touched
her forehead to illustrate his point and
to this the freak is attributed
In the case of the second child it proved
to be from its stomach up a complete
horse Its arms stood out like the fore-
legs of a horse and insteadof hands
were perfectly formed hoofs The child
lived twodays Several months ago the
mother went into the barn with her hus-
band She passed in front of the man-

Governments Bill for Revision o tho Con-
stitution Defeated
Paiiis Feb 14 The newspapers here
believe the chamber of deputies will pass
tho government bill for revision of the
constitution
When the question ot the revision of
the constitution came up in the chamber
of deputies today Count de Donvalle
moved that debate on tho subject be ad-
journed Notwithstanding the opposition
of the government the motion was
adopted by a vote of 3 07 to 21S Premier
Floquet thereupon announced that the
ministry would immediately resign
Immediately after M Floquets an-
nouncement in the chamber of deputies
all the members of the ministry sent their
resignations to President Carnot
The chamber was crowded The
prince of Wales and Lord Lytton British
ambassador occupied seats in the diplo-
matic gallery
Baron Macken president of the Right
moved to adjourn the debate on the re-
vision question for one week He de-
clared tho Bight desired a complete re-
vision as well as dissolution of the cham-
ber A delay of one week would enable
the government to
decide in regard to a
dissolution
Premier Floquet refused to entertain
the motion stating that the government
could not consent to dissolve the charii
ber
BaipnMacken s motion was rejected by
a vote of 375 to 173
Count de Douville Maillaefeu in mov-
ing an indefinite postponement of the re-
vision debate said The electoral pe-
riod begins today Let us leave to the
people the duty ot indicating what kind
of revision they desire Let us not lose
time in discussing a question that isin no-
wise definite Instead of pursuing a
policy of egotism let us return to a policy
of common sense
Premier Floquet replying reminded
the house that the gonernment was
pledged to make the revision bill the im-
mediate order of the day after the scru
tin d arondissement bill
At the conclusion of M Floquets re-
marks on revision a vote was taken with
the result stated r
The resignation of the ministry wasa
complete surprise to the chamber M
Floquet had said nothing implying iu
action to make a motion to adjourn a
cabinet question Both left and fight
were unaware how the ministrywoufd
regard the vote The majority included
the members of the right and a number
of Opportunists After the adjournment
the Radical left held a meeting and sent
delegates to M Floquet to express regret
atthe fall of the cabinet and congratu-
lating the retiring premier upon the
firmness of the position ho had assumed
BOTJrjVNGEIi CXA1MS THE CREDIT
Paris Feb 14 Gen Boulanser was
a passive spectator of the proceedings in
the chamber of deputies Immediately
after the adjournment he issued a mani-
festo to the electors of the departments
Seine In this he claims the credit for
his party for the overthrow
of a discredited ministry that was
attempting to snare the country
by tho comedy of a proposal to
revise the constitution which if passed by
the chamber the ministry well know
would be rejected by the senate He
proceeded We would not allow
the cabinet thus to deceive the uni-
versal suffrage and to conseorate
its usurption by doing the work of a con-
stitutional assembly The fall of this
illomened ministry which had already
planned laws for the restriction of
liberty will be a relief to the
public concern It is a step
further toward the dissolution
of the chamber and the convocation of a
constituent assembly After the voteon
the serutm darondissement bill which
in its authority was nothing more than a
deal at universal suffrage the electoral
period was commenced It is for the
country to speak Vivo la republique

itor for the Times testified before tho

ited Dublin in May 188S m quest of ev-
idence At the office of Alexander Mor
phy crown solicitor of Kerry he had an

duced to him as a former employe in the
