2 THE OMAHA. DAILY BEtf : TUESDAY , JANUARY 23 , 1801. Rino pulled out of a siding In the yards of the Florida Central ft Peninsula Railroad company at 7 o'clock. There was nothing very strange about the Incident and It ex cited no particular comment at the tlnuo The baggage cars had been standing on the siding for days , nnd when the caboose coupled on and a passenger engine was coupled to tlio cars thu significant clrcum- s'.anccH In the proceedings lay In the fact that n freight locomotive was not Used , Insldo the two cars were narked a circus tent and portable seats of the Frank Gentry circus. In the caboose , the blinds nnd sliding shades of which were slightly drawn , were thlrty-llvo picked men , each armed with a brace of Colt's forty-four six-shooters. Kvcry man of them hud been Hworn in ns n deputy sheriff , the oath hav ing been administered by the sheriff of an adjoining county friendly to the promoters of the contest between Corhottand Mitchell. Just where the tent was bound for no ono outside the club knows , and these who do know will not divulge it. This move Is in consonance with the tip sent out this afternoon. It was admitted the club would make a strong clfort to bring off the light In the nrcnn out at the race track , nnd falling there would bo pre pared lo load fighters and spectators on special - cial trains for n point at which the mm could fight without molestation in a place provided for , which would bo In readiness for the mill the any before the date sot for the contest. It was said that the last legal straw would bo ex hausted to force the aherlff to terms. If the armed forces which nro to Invade tlio city tomorrow and which , under the adjutant general , are subject to the call of the sheriff can bo dialodtrcd by the Issuance of tlio in junction , the fight will take plneo in the cockleshell built for that purpose. If the injunction does not issue then the men will bo taken to the tented arena. Alllltlu on Ilia Ground. Adjutant General Houston arrived this afternoon to arrange forquarterlnu the com panies of the Second battalion , which'will arrive tomorrow. Tlio men will bo housed in the armory. General Houston said that as ho was scut to Jacksonville to prevent the light ho proposed to do so , ami would use every means in his power to effect this purpose. "I am acting under instructions from Governor Mitchell , " said he. "and I will carry them'out to the letter. " General Houston does not anticipate any trouble in preventing the battle , and evi dently thinks the sight of the troops will bo enough to deter the men from entering the ring. Manager Bowden of the Duval club cre ated consternation in the club rooms tonight in the presence of a lot of newspaper men by making the announcement that the in-lze- Jlsntors were going out on n train to fight , nnd that no newspaper was to have more than ono representative free of charge. Ho wctn on to give his masons , and stated the club was out $ . " > 0,000 , and ho did not pro pose to have newspaper men aboard displac ing patrons who would out up their $2."i for tickets. This unlooked-for assertion was brought about by the request of a local newspaper man for tickets for a morning nnd evening newspaper which are under the same control. of tlio Wldo Month Unllinliorx His , ) : i\v Aunln. JACKSONVILLE , Jan. 22. William A. Brady , manager of James .1. Corhott , arrived in Jacksonville from Mayport thU morning. Ho had risen earlier than the champion pugilist nnd after hearing the btory of Mitchell's backdown , exacted a pledge from nil these who ware stopping at Corbet t's training quarters to keep Corbett lu itrnor- anco of the "news , " mid directed that iiono of the papers should be brought near the place. When asked what ho thought about Mitchell ' Brady replied : "I feel certain , as I always have been , that Mitchell docs not want to light and If ho should get into tin ; 'ring , which now seems less possible , I predict ' that.ho willduBo 'mrroly iu order to save the $5,000 forfeit and the $ ' . ' .000 wnich I wagered with him that ho would not appear in the ring. " "By that you mean what } " ' That , " answered Brady , "tlio moment the men shake hands Mitchell will do one of two things , cither deliberately foul Corbott or quit after the first round. " ' " ' Mr. Jott Bowden of 'tho ' Duval club , when approached by n reporter of the Associated press , appeared ill ut ease. "I still maintain that the fight will take place. Charlie is In ono of his. tantrums , and , like some of Ills former moods , this will bo dissipated before nightfall. There is absolutely nothing for Mitchell to do but fight. " These who are on the Insldo are beginning to laugh nt the rumor ot > Mitchell's sprained nnklo. He was snid to have doi.o It coing up the lighthouse stairs , but as nobody was with him at the tlmo the sprain is not authenticated. Governor Mitchell mid the MmUtnrii. CHICAGO , , Jan. 22.

The voting began at 4:20 : after a great dciil of tvranglmg ns to the manner In which the nmcndmeiits should ho voted upon , It bolng decided by the chairman that ho would permit four amendments to bo pend ing to each of the paragraphs , ISO and 181 , the Ural relating to the bounty on sugar and the latter to the duty on refined sugar. The llrst vote was taken on Mr. Molklo- John's amendment to substitute for Mr. McHao's amendment to abolish the sugar bounty the provisions of the McKlnloy law relating to the bounty. This was defeated without division by a strict party vote. The vote then recurred updn nn amend ment offered by Mr. Price to amend Mr. Hnrtcr'a substitute , placing a duty of 1 cent per pound on sugar below 10 Dutch standard and iibollshlne the sugar bounty , by insert ing thu provision of the Mills bill , which levied a duty on sugar not above ll ! Dutch standard of 1 1-10 cents per pound , nbovo 10 Dutch standard 2 20-100 cents ind nbovo 20 Dutch standard 280-100 cents per pound. This had the support of quito a number of democrats , including Its author , iJalloy of Texas , Hooker and the members of the Louisiana delegation. The romalndcr of the democrats voted against it. For the ilrst tlmo the republicans showed their hand , declining to vote at all upon the u re position , which was dofcatcd by a vote of 1'J to 14'J. Itonnty onUigur AliolUhoil. The vote then came upon Mr. Ilurtcr's sub stitute. which was test without division. This made the vote recur upon Mr. McHao's orig inal proposal to abolish altogether the bounty provisions of the Wilson bill. Quito a number of the republicans , including Messrs. Hopkins , Cannon , D.ilzcll and Funic , voted with the radical democrats against thn members of the committee for this propo sition and It was carried by an overwhelm ing majority , 1T to ( i'J. This action abolishes the bounty on sugar. The vote was tncn taken on the amend ments to section 181 , providing for a duty on refined sugar. Mr. Robertson's amendment , providing for a duty of from 1 1-10 cents per pound and upward on sugars testing by the polarscoplc test not above 75 = , was offered ns the first amendment. To this Mr. Warner of New York offered the amend mont to plnco rellned sugar dutiable in the bill at a fourth of a cent on the free list , nnd after a long parliamentary discussion as to the status of pcnptng amend ments. it being claimed by the Louisiana members that a misunderstanding existed regarding a ruling of the chair , by unani mous consent Mr. Brcckiuridgeof Kentucky was allowed to offer a substitute for these two amendments placing n uniform duty of 1 cent per pound upon all sugars below 1C Dutch standard. Duty on Kellnod Sugar Removed. The vote was first taken upon Mr. Warner's amendment to the amendment , to abolish the duty on refined suqar , and again the radical democrats secured another sig nal victory , the republicans declining to voto. By a vote of 187 to 52 the duty on ro- flned sugar was abolished. Among these who voted for it were : Messrs. Johnson of Ohio , Coleman , Hoard , Sprincer , Lot-kwood , Mutchlur , McGuire , Abbott , 'Martin , Bland and Simpson , while the Louisiana delega tion , ' the members of the ways nnd means committee pdficrally , Messrs. Platt , Wlso and Cummiugs voted against it. The substitute of Mr. Brccktnridge , which "was votc'd'Upon'Hext , was defeated by a vote of M-t to 07. The republicans not only de clined to aid these of the democrats who were sookmc to plnco u duty upon sugar , hilt voted with the radical democrats against it. The democratic supporters of the Breokln- ridge movement were unabio to secure enoush followers to order tollers. Gut tutu : i Tangle. At this Juncture , amid great con fusion , the time enme.to take the final vote upon Mr. Robertson's amendment as amended by Mr. Warner's amendment. A great deal of mis understanding existed upon the lloor us to wiiat the effect of the adoption of the amended proposition would mean. The re publicans were hilariously Joyful at the tangle into which they had gotten the demo crats , Mr. Payne shouting if the proposition was adopted it would have tne incongruous effect of placing raw sugar on the dutiaolo list and refined sugar on the free list. Mr Richardson , who was in the chair , was appealed to in vain to state the offoiits of the adoption of ihu pending amendment. So much misunderstanding existed oven among the most skillful parliamentarians on both sides that Mr. Wilson finally decided , araU great confusion , to move the committee rise to give every ono u chance to examine over nigh * , Into the parliamentary situation , and at 5:30 : the committee rose and the house took a recess until 8 o'clock.

The civil service law again came In for Its quota of criticism in the senate today , and later in the session Senator PoJTor , In a long argument , sought to show that the proposition ot the secretary of the treasury to issue United States bonds is directly without authority in law. While potitio'ns were being presented this morning Senator Sherman of Ohio took oc casion to refer to the Hag incident which re cently stirred the Ohio people nnd said ho hoped the flags would bo kept flying over the cnpltol nil the time as well as when congress - gross and the supreme court wore in session. A hill to copy and arrange in order all the pension laws was presented by Senator Palmer of Illinois.

Ho asked its 1m- mediate consideration , but Senator Perry ot * Arkansas objected and it went over. Senator Cull's resolution , reducing the civil scrvlco of the United States , and the expediency of Its retrenchment or decrease cauio up , nnd Senator Berry presented an amendment directing the committee to r.lso report ' 'the number of persons employed in the classified service from ouch state and territory and , so far ns they can , ascertain the number belonging to each political party , nnd whether the publlo service would bo benefited by the repeal of the civil service law.

Senator Poffor said If it can bo true tint the secretary of the tioasurv , in co-oporntlon with the presi dent , is making a now law , it is a violation of the constitution of thu United States. The news published by the secretary does not show or intimate that the redemption/ fund is not sufficient to redeem United States notes outstanding.
