El Paso, Tex., Feb. 20.—The fight was

of interest in it l .'ing the condition of

was as it has been for the last three
days—steadily improving.
Fltzsimroons i\ malned quietly in his

Mexicans and rangers who watch him
every time he leaves the house a chance
jto rest themselv -t. He is doing only

in superb shape and reiterated today
[Ills firm belief that the fight would bo
a very short one and that he would be

Jack Everhart went over to Fitzsim-

THAT GALVESTON STORY.
Considerable merriment was caused
at Stuart's headquarters today by a
j story from Galveston that the fight
| would be on barges in the Gulf of Mex-
ico off that city. It was to be before the
1 kintescope and a few witnesses only,
i The plan was never thought of here un-
! til wired from Galveston and the im-
j possibility of the kintescope taking pho-
tographs if the weather was In the least
| degrc ■ rough, is alon enough to put
1 the plan out of the question. All sort9
I of rumors are afloat as to the location
of the battle-ground, but Stuart is keep-
ing his own counsel and not until to-
morrow night will any information be
given as to the location and the time
of thf  departing train.

Washington, Feb. 110.—The house to
day devoted itself strictly to business
The army appropriation bill, carrying
123,275,902, was passed, tho conference
I port on the urgent deficiency bill was
adopted and the bill to extend for five
years the time in which the govern-
ment can bring suits to annul patents
to public lands under railroad and wag-
on road grants, was passed.
An amendment was adopted limiting
the application of the act to "railroad
and wagon road grants."
The following proviso was also ad-
ded to the bill:
"That no suit shall be brought nor
shall recovery be had for lands that
were patented in lieu of other lands
covered or relinquished by the grantee
In consequence of the failure of the
government to withdraw the same
from sale or entry."
The substitute for the bill offered
by Mr. McUae (Dem. Ark.) to repeal
outright the limitation of the act of
1891, was defeated, 72-149.
Mr. Pickler (Rep. S. D.) offered an
amendment to the army appropriation
bill providing that no officer of the
army should be detailed to duty as an
Indian agent. It was ruled out on
a point of order, as was an am- r.lmeiit
offered by Mr. Bowers (Pep . Cal.)
against the guarding or policing of for-
est reservations or national parks with
troops. Soldiers, Mr. Bowers said,
prevented visitors to Yellowst ne park
from hunting or fishing Without per-
mits, yet on a recent visit to the park
he ascertained that the soldiers them-
selves had slaughtered hundreds of
deer. Most of the new provisions in
the bill, including those for appoint-
ment of paymasters from the line of
the army and for commutation of quar-
ter® to officers doing duty at stations
where the quarters are inadequate,
were stricken out on,'points of order.
At 4:35 the house adjourned.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The house com
piittec on terrltories\voted today to re-
consider the former vote against Ari-
zona and New Mexico statehood bills,
thus leaving them still/ before the com-
mittee. The house today passed a
bill to extend for five, years the time
within which suits may be brought to
annul patents issued under railroad
Mexican or other'special grants.

Chicago, in.. Feb. 20. The next con*
tfentl mi of the Ri publican national
league will be lo Id i Milwaukee, Aug.
25, -6 and 27. Inst, ad of leaving the
selection to the executive committee, a
ballot was tnki n last month by corres-
pondence and Milw. ikee won out by an
overwhelming vote i nd today the oom*
mlttee formally ratified the selection.
The tn ting of the < . utive committee
is to be held for the purpose of secur-
ing money t> iri. on the campaign
this yearn No definite plan Is before
the committee.
At the at": a in noi the mebmera
t-:, ; about ra ng 1 un Is to cairy on thl
campaign of i m  New York came for-
ward with a ish subscription and was
followed at once by other states. It
soon became apparent that all financial
difficulties would be overcome. At thia
juncture a telegram was received fronl
the attorney of the le igue, congratulate
ing the meeting on the successful out-
come of a suit which has been pending
since 18X8 In Albany, by which the
league Is given $17,000 which it had to
sue to recover on a literature contract.
A telegram <>f sympathy was sen't to
James H. Manley, of Augusta, Me., a
prominent m< mber of the league, re-
garding the death of his wife. The sec-
retary was instructed to distribute 10,-
000 copies of T. P. Walker's tariff pam-
phlet. It was decided to open head-
quarters for the league at the Lindell
hotel, in St, Louis, and it is expected
that, there will l e a large attendance
of league members at the convention.
A general meeting of the league will be
held in the convention hall the night of
June 16.
Reports on the general work of the
league in the different states showed
good working organizations in all the
statics except California and the secre-
tary was instructed to organize that
state at once.
The state of Iowa claim- 1 to be the
best organised of the states 700 clubs in
gi >d standing. Iowa's scheme of or-
ganization has been generally adopted
by other states of the league.
