REFEREE .STOPS THE SHARKEY- MAHER FIGHT Heavyweights Enter Ring and Tap One Ano her for Three Ineffectual Rounds Boxers Had Been Bound Over to Keep the Peace and Obeyed Court’s Injunction PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.—Tom Shar- key and Petér Maher, who were heralded to fight six rounds before the Industrial Athletic Club for the championship of Ire- land at the Industrial Hall to-night, were stopped by Referee Rocap in the middle of the third round of one of the poorest exhibitions ever given in this city. The men had been arrested early in the even- ing and bound over in $3000 bail to keep the peace. This dampened their ardor and reduced the steam of thelr blows. There was not a blow struck which would have rocked a bantam’s head. When the bout had progressed for two and a_ half rounds, amid incessant cat- calls, hisses and yeils of ‘“‘take them off.” and “fake,” Referee Rocap stepped to the side of the ring and =aid he had been en- gaged to referee a contest. “This is no contest,” he said. The men took their corners and the contest was over. Both Sharkey and the president of the club attempted to address the anmgry crowd, but neither was permitted to speak. The spectators were worked up to such a pitch that they broke chalrs and benches in their endeavor to ‘“get even.” It was little satisfaction for the 4000 ;persons who had paid §2, $3 and 5 for seats, Jeffries and Fitzsimmons occupled seats near the rin Dixon Fights Another Draw. BALTIMORE, Jan. 17.—George Dixon and Joe Lipman fought twenty rounds to a draw before the iureka Athletic Club here to-night. Lipman, who is a Balfi- more boy, had about twenty pounds the advantage of the veteran in weight. but Dixon made it up-in reach and sclence. Dixon did most of the leading and landed oftener than Lipman, but the latter came up strong and in the last round knocked the ex-champion all over the ring. e e R s HALE ENGAGES IN-RELIEF WORK Collects Supplies for the Boer Prisoners in Bermuda. BOSTON, Jan. 17.—Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, president of the Lend-a- Hand Soclety, which for months has been collecting and shipping clothing, food and other things to the Boer prisoners held by the British in Bermuda, recently sent his assistant, the Rev. W. 8. Key, tavisit the prison camps and report on the con- ditions. Key, who has just returned, says he was permitted to visit all the camps on six islands and to talk at will with the prisoners. There are now about 5000 men and boys in the prison laagers. All the prisoners complained of having no cloth- ing .except what they wore when cap- tured. Some of them had not had a change of underclothing for sixteen months. During Key's visit clothing was _dis- tributed, but hats, caps, socks, towels, handkerchiefs, underclothing, suspenders and soap, needles, thread, buttons and knives are badly needed. The short allow- ance of vegetables was complained of. The Rev. Dr. Hale asks for contribu- tions of such food as oatmeal, cornmeal, condensed milk, all kinds of cereals, tea, coffee, peas, beans, rice, sago, evaporated apples, canned corn, dessicated vegetables and tobacco for the old men. Money is also needed. The Lend-a-Hand Society, Boston, ceives and ships all contributions. re- GOULDS AND HARRIMAN STRUGGLE FOR TRAFFIC Railroad Magnates Are at Odds and a Bitter Fight for Supremacy Prevails. CHICAGO, Jan, 17.—The Record-Herald to-morrow will say: The Gould and Har- riman interests are engaged in a struggle for transcontinental traffic which will test to its utmost the strength of the community of interests. The two inter- ests haye been unable to get together, al- though several attempts have been made recently. The executive officlals of the Colorado and Utah lines were unable to settle their differences in meetings held here and adjourned from day to day dur- ing the present week. As a result of the unsettled condition of traffic matters in Colorado and Utah the officials of lines east of the river were equally unable to make firm pledges that rates would be maintained for another month. The fight which the Goulds have begun for recognition as a transcontinen- tal factor through the Ogden gateway is the explanation of the withdrawal of the Missouri Pacific from the Colorado and Utah Association and the refusal of its officials up to date to re-enter. The purpose of the acquisition of the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western by tbe Goulds has be- come plain through the fight now in pro- gress. The situation is this: Through their possession of the Rio Grande roads the Goulds are laying claim to a large percentage of the through traffic from. the coast. Should the Harriman people refuse to turn over to the Gould connec- tions the amount of traffic the Goulds think they are entitled to the result will be problematical. Should the Goulds de- cide to get the amount of traffic they are claiming their position entitles them to rates would undoubtedly be cut, as they were in December, and the bulk of the traffic would go from Ogden by the way of Grand Junction and Pueblo, where it would be delivered to the Missouri Pa- cific for St. Louis and the East. It is also understood that a refusal on the part of the Harriman people to accede to the demands of the Goulds would mean an alliance between tne Goulds and Sen- ator Clark, who would be able to give the Goulds a Pacific Coast outlet by the way of the projected Lo: - . SobuE jecte s Angeles-Salt —— UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ENGAGE IN PUGILISM Ten Fast Rounds Are Fought Before an Audience in ¢ Washington Institution. SEATTLE, Wash.,, Jan. 17.—Edward Fox and Guy Ford, two students of the State university, fought ten fast rounds to-night. The contest was called a draw in accordance with an agreement between the principals that such was to be the ruling if both men were on their feet at the end of the tenth round. Both of the contestants are well known among the university students. Fox is a resident of this city. Ford comes from the northern part of the State. The con- test was pulled ‘off in the attic of the men’s dormitory, It was witnessed by an audience of from seventy-five to 100, Many of the most prominent students of the university were there and a number from the city. Ryerything was accord- ing to prize ring customs. It is stated that the fight was for a purse of $25. L —— Schwab Arrives at Vienna. VIENNA, Jan. 17.—Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Cor- poration, arrived here this evening. sta BOXERS AND HUNTING MEN SISTER JEANIE BEATS MEEHANUS FOR A HANDICAP Redfern Rides His Mount to Victory in the Chref Event of Yesterday at Oak and Ulloa, With Twelve to One, Liid Against Her in. the Books, Ea-i'y Ga ns Victory AESAR YOUNG'S sprinter Mee- hanus is a freaky sort of fellow. He runs when he feels like it and sulks as the humor strikes him. In the Btockton handicap, declded over six furlongs at Oakland track yes- terday, the chestnut horse had a heaping handful of weight off from his previous tace, and -with Winnle O'Connor up closed a stanchly played 8 to 5 favorite. Honest going Frank Bell looked to have more than his portion, and after leading well Into the stretch with 113 pounds, gave up the lead to the 90 pounder, Sister Jeanie. Master Redfern, on the latter filly, kept a little up his sleeve all the time and when O'Connor came with Meehanus, held the first choice safe. He won by half a length in 1:13. The win- ner did not possess a host of friends, her odds drifting back to 7 to 1. Kenilworth was a starter, but falled to get a plece of the purse, though his race was a good one. Information seemed to be spread broad- cast on the different events and the crowd was one of the largest of the week. Aslde from the victories of Ulloa and Sister Jeanie, favorites took every event. The opening mile and 100-yard race was prolific of some exceedingly warm tips, among the hottest being Osmond, Aloha 11, Antolee and Wolhurst. The latter horse would -undoubtedly have won had “Handriding” Kelly not been almost left at the post. After making most of the pace, Osmond died away with O’'Connor, finishing _ third. Ulloa, the Spreckels entry and 12 to 1, won, ridden out from ‘Wolhurst. Nothing looked to have a chance with Rollick in the mile selling event, and at odds of 3 to 10 the Burns & Waterhouse entry breezed home first. Diomed appears to have gone back, for Tizona at 60 to 1 beat him_three lengths for place honors. Shell Mount seemed to have dropped into a soft place In the Futurity course sprint and at odds of 2to5defeated Killdoe handily. The latter cut out the running, tiring perceptibly, though, as the stand was approached. Constable stood a long drive, just nosing out Arigato for the third place. Elmwood Farm’s The Giver ran a splen- did race in the seven-furlong selling num- ber for three-year-olds. A 6 to b favorite, he was cut off on the turn right after the start, compelling Mounce to go around his fleld.” In the run Milas, ridden by .O'Con- nor, gave the first choice a strong argu- ment, losing by a neck only, although winner may have had a trifie to spare Colonial Girl was third. Making his first appearance of the sea- son In the concluding race of the day, Lavator, ridden by O'Connor and an even money favorite, won all the way. Picador, hard ridden by Bullman; ran a close sec- ond, three lengths before Duke of York IIL Track Notes. Nash Turner, the well known jockey, will be here about February 1, He-is now at his home in Texas. Turner is consid- ered the best rider of two-year-olds in the country. Little Redfern will be seen in the sad- dle here for only a short time longer. }-Early next monthjjeus expectefi to report for_duty at the Pepper stable in Ken- tucky. After considerable delay at the post, “Dick’” Dwyer dispatched the field in the last event to undoubtedly the prettiest start of the meeting. The popular flag wielder received quité an ovation from the crowd. Winnie O’'Connor got a great move on in the concluding race. He had the mount on Lavator, and there were reasons for his trying to make the first turn in ad- vance of his field. Winnie had a $240 com- bination winding up with the Nealon en- try, and rode like a Comanche warrior. Frank Doss had his bidding up clothes on again vesterday. After Shell Mount had won the third race, entered to be sold for $400, Doss boosted the price to $500. The stable retained the three-year-old. The rich McLaughlin selling stake and the Woodland handicap, each with a fine field of starters, are the special fixtures of the card this afternoon.

The speaker said these Ministers had by decrees infringed the rights of the officers; that General Andre, by assuming the sole right of promotion, had decried the democratic idea of advancement, and that the officers had no confidence in the impartiality of the Minister, who was sub- Ject to political influence. Officers, the Deputy added, had been punished because MAtthtetlnr ‘Do{lllcn-l !ongnlon!. i at stage of the proceedin; Andre elicited an mm.?ry from gfr'i?:r‘:fl ists and Centrists and cheers from the Leftists by announcing that he was pre- paring a bill providing for the exclusion of pupils of the schools of the co tions from scholarships at the military school. M. Lasies, anti-Semite, said the sug- ested measure was shameful. Cuneo 'Ornano described the proposed bill as odious and declared’that General Andre ‘wished to cut France in twain. General Andre replied that he took the :gat:m of promotion o:n ’o( thed hands of e former army commission and assu the task himself because the commllm was an irresponsible body, whereas the Minister of War was a responsible per- sonage and the advancement of officers ‘was therefore in the hands of Parliament. The Rightists and Centrists warmiy protested _against this view. General Andre explained that promotion, like all acts of executive power, was necessarily dependent on Parllament and that the present system would not tees of the officers.

There were seven bouts and each one was replete with heavy fighting. Plenty of gore was shed and the spectators seemed satisfled. John Crowe, the youth who put “Wi nie” O'Connor over the hurdles in boxins. secured a decision over Dick Cullen after four rounds of tame fighting. Cullen re- ceived a black eye for his trouble. “Kid" Parker ended the aspirations of Billy Connelly in the second round. Par- ker proved his superfority and landed at will. Connelly succumbed to a torrent of Jolts and swings. n Sullivan, an aggressive youth, who reminded the spectators of Sharkey, bus- tled Mike Foy around the ring for four rounds and earned a decision. If Foy had the least knowledge of boxing he would have won easily, as Sullivan was wild and awkward in his movements. The judges’ decision in the bout between “Young Kid" McFadden and Ed Finerty met with disapproval. McFadden was given the decision and theé crowd hooted until Referee Greggains stated that the decision was a just one, as McFadden was the aggressor. Finerty came to life in the last round and had his opponent groggy. McFadden practically fought himself to a standstill. Joe Reagan sent Mike Hart into dream- land in the second round with a right hook on the jaw. The loser made things hum until he lost his senses. Jack Dean and Gus Saulsbury fought four rounds to a draw. Both men fought from start to finish. It was by far the best bout of the evening. Tom Burke quit in the third round of his bout with Charles Hawley. Burke scored two knockdowns, but the body blows he received took the fight out of m. @il @ NEELY EXPLAINS ABOUT STAMPS Official at Havana Exam- ined in the Postoffice Case. HAVANA, Jan. 17.—The cross-examina- tion of Estes G. Rathbone, ex-Director of Posts of Cuba, at to-day's session of the court which is trying the charges grow- ing out of the Cuban Postoffice frauds, brought out no new facts. C. F. W. Neely was called and ex- amined by the Fiscal. Neely said that he received his appointment from Wash- ington and that Kathbone had made him chief of the finance bureau of the Cuban Postoffice Department after the organiza- tion of the Cuban postal service. He sald that when the stamps were burned a cer- amount was reserved for Collectors, but that he did not know how many and that after the sales to Collectors fell off he gave the surcharged stamps to Senor Moya, Cuban stamp clerk in the Havana Postoffice, instructing Moya to seil them. He asserted that he took the money re- sulting from these sales and put it in the vault. Neely made no record of these stamps, nor did Moya make out a requi- jon for them. In answer to the Fiscal's question as to why he had made no such record Neely explained that in So far as the new issus of stamps was concerned records were kept in his office of the denominations sold, in order that he might be in a position to know what denominations to order from Washington to replace the stock. As for the matter of balancing the account, the stamps he ‘turned over to_Moya had no bearing thereon. e Neely sald he was charged with tie whole amount of the value of the stamps delivered and that these he must account for, either in stamps or money, when called upon to do so. For this reason, he said, it made no difference whether these Moya sales were recorded. Instead of the stamps, he said, he had put ths money in the vault. Neely denfed having any interest in the Cowan Printing Company of Muncle, Ind., and sald that he had not received $3000 commission from the lock box com- pany that put in the lock boxes in the navana Postoffice. Neely wi onfronted with Reeves, who reiterated his statement that Neely gave him $4600 before laving to make the books tally. Neely answered that th's was not so and sald that he was with an employe of the Postoffice at the hour named by Reeves in his statement.
