Local Sports Fail to Understand Betting Fluctuations. The excitemeat which was created among the sports of this City over the Sharkey-Maher fight in New York was al- me eat as when Corbett and Fitz- simmons fought in Carson last March. The consensus of opinion yesterday was that Sharkey would stay thefull limit of the battle, which was announced to be twenty-five rounds, uniess the police in- terfered. The betting here opened about one week a 10 to $4. with Maher on the lonege tas wore on Sharkey moved nd his stoek ad- vance to ic which caused many sports there was something rad- ily wrong. Yesterday manv pools were soid at $10 10 $9, with Maner the favorite, but as tue time drew near for the fight the support- ers of Muber were numercus, and the bet- ting closed at §10 to 0, with Sharkey on the <hort end. The fizht, like all of the sailor’s battles, | ended very unsatisfactorily to people;who | took an interest in the battle. ! A rumor was circulated before the men entered the ring last evening that Jimmy Colville, the Boston refcree, was a par- ticular friend of Dan Lynch and Earp, | and that if Sharkey should fail at any point of the game 10 score a lead and that if _his chances of defeating Maher were slim the police woald interfere and stop the fight. Judging from the telegraphic reports it appears that the police had received in- siructions, as they stopped the fight a: a time when the conigsiants were not pun- ished to any extent. In fact, they had only warmed up 1o the heat of battle, but us Maher had put Sharkey down and was figuring on giving him his quietus, the authorities thought it was time to call a hait and thereby save those who backed Sharkey the 10ss of a pot of money. This~ is another instance where Sharkey’s good fortune came to his rescue. He did not punish Maher to amount to anything and Peter was wait- ing an opening to do with Sharkey as he bad done with Choynski. Doubtles he woald bave put Sharkey to sleep if another round was allowed. The fighters, the club under whose auspices the fight was held and the pool- cellers will make money out of the scheme, but the spec ators who paid good money to see the fizzle and those who bet on the mill will gei the worst of a very ansatisfactory contest, 1 “This is brutal!” said the New York Angel Guardian of the Peaces “Come with me” BROUGHT HEAVEN | NEARER TO EARTH Death of Alvan Clark,] the Famous Maker | of Lenses. f Was Decorated by the French Academy for Astronomical | Discoveries. | Made the Lick Lens and Had Just Completed the Yerkes Glass for Geneva.

Be- tween Shimamura and Minister Cooper. Studying Plles of Official Papers and Books on International Law and Precedent. HONOLULU, Hawair, June 2.—There is nothing new in the Japanese matter, ex- cept that Minister Shimamura and Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs Cooper have been holding two-hour conferences at the exec- building for the past three mornings. Japanese Minister tock with him to the first session a big bundie of official oman and | gocuments received on the Coptic, to- | gether with a carriage-load of mostly works on international law. Nothing could be learned as to the nature of the discussion, as both princi- pals seem to have buried the hatchet over their recent difficulties and entered into a defensive alliance not to give out any- thing to the press. It may be stated positively, however, that Hawaii will not under any condition bsck down from her present situation, which is a positive refusal to recognize the | right of Japan to demand indemnity for returned immigrants or to give any as- surance thet similar proceedings will not | be taken against fature shipments of the | same class of “students.” Hawaii stiil holds that she has the right to administer her own laws in her own way, and not construe them in a manner to suitJa | anese immigration and steamship com- | panies. There was a wild rumor in eireulation | two hours beiore the departure of the ralia to the effect that the morning’s rence between Minister Coooer and Jiste: Shimamura had resulted in the entation of Japan’s ultimatum by books, pre the latier 10 the effect that Hawaii would be given until Tuesday, June 8, to pay the ad that in case of custom - house would be indemnity demanded, refusal the | se.zed. | Your correspondent at once sought Minister Cooper 2nd was assurcd by bim | that the rumor was not true. Questioned a< 1o the pro ress of negotiations the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that a protracted conference was going on be- tween nimseif and the Japanese represen- tative which would take several more days to ena. There was really cothing of a definite nature to give out to tne public | and probably would not be for some time. | Tuere was no truth whatever in the statement that any uitimatum had been servedon the Hawaiian Government. He seid the negotiations had not yet reachea & point where such a document could be brought in. The Star of yesterday afternoon has the following: People abroad know a grea! deal more of | our own affairs than peopie actually upon the spot. Papers from the Orient yesterday in. formed their readers that the Huwailan Gov- ernment was going 1o chocse tne King of Nor- way and Sweden as a mediator in the immi- tion trouble berween ourselves and the ernment of the Mikado. . The Mainicho comments upon this piece o intelligence and shows why this Government | has not chosen the United States or Greai Britain as mediator, and goes on to say that as far as Japan is concerned it does not care who becomes medintor, as it knows Japan is in the right. Tt may be pointed out that arbitrator, and not meuiator, is the proper parae to be used. As'to who is in the right remaius to be seen. Each party in a quarrel or dispute has & keen idea of 115 own merits and believes im- plicity in i1s side of the question. As iar as Hawail is concerned, 1t is very well sausfied that itis iu the right, for the matter was well | considered pefore it was acted upon. 8¢ NINETY SHOTS 4 MINUTE.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, June 9.— Congress has approved the concession signed by Minister Mena in favor of Joaquin P.

Mills cf Texas Assails the Millionaires of the Country. Withering Reference to American | Giris Who Marry Abroad for Titles. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 9.—The venerable Senator Morrill of Vermont, | chairman of the Finance Committee, was in tne Senate to-day, after an illness of some weeks. A concurrent resoiution offered by Allen of Nebraska was agreec to, nationalizing the Trans-Mississippi Exposition to be held at Omaha, and requesting the Presi- dent 10 invite foreign nations to partici- pate. A joint resolution on the same general subject was agreed to, suspending the im- migration and Chinese exclusion laws so 18 10 permit foreign labor to tuke charge of foreign exhibits at the Trans-Mississippi | Exposition. Consider iff bill was re- sumed at No m ion was made as to the time of takinz up the sugar schedule and the debate proceeded on the agricultural schedule. On the rice paragraph Ailison, in charge of the bill, withdrew the committee smendments reducing the House rates, thus leaving the House rates stand. Mills of Texas moved to strike out the entire rice paragraph and substitutea new one placing a uniform dury of 40 per cent ad valorera on all grades of rice. Re- jected—19 1o 40. Five Democrats—Bacon, Clay, McEnery, McLaurin and Tilim and four Populis ilen, E r, Hei feld and Stewart—voted with the Repub- licans in the negativ The rice paragraph was then agreed to as it came from tue House, Rye and rye flour were agreed to as reported. Paragraph 231 on tapioca had been | stricken out by the Senate. On the ques- tion of agreeing to this change Rawlins of Utuh took the floor' to answer Vest's statement yesterday “thata new evaugel’ of Democratic doctr was be claimed by certain Democr. Rawlins said he had been a member the committee on resotutions and pl form at the Chicago convention, v ing th= taniff clause which had be discuss on. It wason his motion that it was agreed to.

It was omitted purposely after | discussion. | Milis made an attack upon the whole | P bill. He spoke of schedules being “ad-| justed and readjusted and unadjusted and readjusted again” forthe sake ol a ““monu- mental trost fund” wh the measure was intended to raise. The taxpayer, ne said, had a right to be heard in the coun- cils of the Nation when bis property was to be taken by an act of ‘degisiative rapine” and distribv mong those wh have given no considerstion. Mills said late years to switch the Democratic party out of its beaten path ana make it waik blindfolded into tie protection camp. He denouncsd the proposea duties on wool, iron ore, | coal and other raw material. By having all raw materials on the free iist and a | duty only on finished products all the cotion product of the Ubitea States could be manufactured here inst f sending two-thirds of it to be manufactured in Englana. The question has been asked recently in the Renate, he said, as to how manv mil- lionaires there were in the United State: The answer was to be found in the ar by Thomas G. Stearman, showins that there were 200 persons worth $20,000.000 each, 400 worth $10.000,000 each, 1001 worth $5,000,000 and 6,00 worth $1,000,000 each—altogettier 9600, worth in the aggre- | gate $24,000,000,000. And this legisiation, | be said, was intended to add to this monstzous wealth at the expense of the le. He spoke of the daughters of | Ar | nounced ex | patches to THE CALL, was sent to the Sen- ] z | these inordinately wealthy men being | n the mar- | shipyed to Europe and put upo ma | ket and soid ss princesses, duchesscs | countesses, marchionesses and all other | "esses,” and continued: [ favor your protective doctrine as you pro- | pose to write it, they are not it for seli- goverument. * But they will not do it. s Vest moved to strike out paragraphs 232 and 233 putting a daty of 25cents a bushel on wheat and 25 per cent ad vaiorem on wheat flour. The motion was defeated, four Democrats (Bacon, McEnery, Mec- | Lauren and Tillmar) and three Populists voting with the Repub icans. Cannon moved to insert a new Dara- | graph ie his amendment for an export duty on wheat, cotton, cors, hops and to- bacco. B pro ineq ler followed, favoring Cannon’s osition as a m asure correcting the alities of the tariff. = On account of the consumption of time by speeches no procress wa. made With the bill. The sugar schedule was ‘ taken up and nothing was said about it or | the tobacco scuedule. ——— 4 ESCAPE. BEER AND There Will Be No sdditional Tax om These Commaodi WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—The Republican members of the Finance Com- mittee will withdraw the amendments | for an aaditional tax on beer and for the | cuty of 10 cents a pound on tea. In ex- | planation a member of the Finance Com- mittee said that the pressure for the with- drawal of these amendments has been very great, and that many Republican Senators ha made decided stands against them. The formal action of the | committee on the subject has not been taken, but the determination has been reached. The members of the committee are still in doubt as to what shail be done as to increases on tobacco in the internal rev- e preat pressure to have these taxes re- | duced. The question of gevenue is giving the committee considerable corcern, and if there should be a withdrawal of the creases in tobacca as we the bill wouid not meet the needs of Government as a revenue producer. th s rea-on it has been practically mined to make bank check stamp tax, and the question of additional revenue by means oi a system of stamp taxes on beer has been under consideration. The com- mittee is considering these questions. it s COMMITTEE FAVORS WNcCORD. His Nomination Reporied Back Senate Without a Divisicn of ihe Vote. ASHINGTON, D.
