DAVIDSONS ARE: HOUB.
ht. Paul Fnney Skitter* Wen the
Ra&e In Europe.
Miss Fanny Davidson and her brother,
John Davidson, who have an internation..
al reputation as champion fancy ice
skaterw, have returned l<> their home in
this city aiier a successful lour of sev
eral months m Europe. Nearly all lovers
of the exhilarating sport ot .skating in St
Paul have seen the Davidb-ors and great
ly admire their skill, but when tho
ovations extended the young people in
F.urope are considered there is a sug
gestion that a prophet i* not without
honor save ir. his own country."
In Paris and London the Davidsons
were the rage. Nobility I locked to the
artificial rinks to watch their adroit,
graceful performance and tendered the
young Americans an ovation at every ex.
hlbition. Flowers were showered upon
the artists and they were charmingly en
tertatned.
In Paris the Davidsons skated every
afternoon and evening at the Palais de
Glaco rink, appearing before large audi
ences every time they went en the ice.
The style of the American champions
was a revelation to the loreigners and
they seemed never to tire watching the
graceful couple in their Intricate execnl
tions. From Paris the Davidsons went
to Brussels, the capital of Pelgium. ami
hobnobbed with royalty while giving thcii
exhibitions. Their reception here was as
cordial as In Paris. After three weeks at
Brussels the skaters visited London,
where they remained for vivo, weeks; and
their exhibitions were even more popu
lar than on the continent.
Arrangements were made for return en
gagements next September, when the
Davidsons will again visit the European
capitals.

HORTOX LAW SKEMS SAFE.
Itepnltlicnnn Attempt to Mnke of It
a. Party HcvMure.
ALBANY, N. V.. March 20.—1t looks to
night as though the measure repealing
the Horton act. allowing boxing and
sparring, will be defeated.
A caucus of Republican senators today
decided to make a party measure of the
bill, but at least one more vote la needed
to pas.j it. Senator Coggesfaail bolted tho
caucus, and will not abide by its de
cision, although he is said to have voted
on the first proposition to make it a
party measure. Senator Willis did not
vote, and it is alleged he is against the
reoeal unless there is an amendment.
This leaves but twenty-three Republi
cans for the bill. It is possible they may
get one or two Democratic votes, but
this feature Is Jeopardized by the fact
that the making of a party measure of
the bill drives the Democrats away from
Gov. Roosevelt and Mr. Lewis both
profess to believe tonight that the bill
will go through, and that if necessary
some Democratic votes can be obtained.

j ber of the Western Racing association.

which will bring it one week ahead of the

which will permit the former organiza.
tion to place a baseball club in Chi

have not been given out, but will proba

There is considerable interest mani

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1900.
as Is known the purchase of the Cleve
land National league property Is the
only condition. This, It Is figured, will
entail an expense amounting to nearly
$15,000 upon the American league. The
present Cleveland magnates, In addition
to the purchase price of the Cleveland
park, will have some difficulty In having
leases set aside In order to allow them
freedom to secure the National league
park.
The Cleveland end of the matter will
be settled tomorrow. President John
son will. In all likelihood, make a trip
to Ohio to attend to settling the details
of the transfer.
President Hart and President Johnson
exchanged visits today and discussed th»
details yet to be arranged in the base

league has been sscnrod, and now all
that remains to be done Is the signing
of ithe papers.

stated they were going to see if they
could not settle the strike. He under
stood there was to be some demonstra
tion, but he did not understand It was |
to go beyond parading around. He d!d j
not know of arms being taken fiom
Burke. Later in the day he heard by
telephone of the blowing up of the mill.
