Meeting of tf,e Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except Secretary Whitney, who is
in New York. The session lasted about
three hours and was devoted to a general
discussion of the business pending in each
of the departments. The question of short
ening the hours of work in the departments
during the holiday recess, according to the
long established custom, was also consid-
cred. 1t was decided that, in addition to
closing the department on Christmas and
New Years, they would be closed at noon
on each of the days Immediately preceding
those holidays, and that they would be open
for business as usual i'll the interim. This
course was adopted in view of representa-
tions that the business in several OF the de-
partments, notably the treasury, is some
what in arrears and might accumulate to
serious proportions if the hours of work
were shortened.

They Can spot Crunks.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga local paper
here is the authority for the declaration
that two additional watchmen have been
put on at the rear of the White house to
guard against cranks. These watchmen
are not new. They have been on duty
there for some years. There is public
highway running through the White house
grounds which is only closed up at night.
A large number of visitors enter the
grounds from the rear and it is to prevent
depredations upon the growing plants and
possible annoyance by curiosity seekers
seeking an entrance to the basement OF the
White house, that these watchmen have
been employed. There are no special
guards put out for the purpose of keeping
away cranks. The White house is very
thoroughly guarded by local policemen in
place of others. The officials have become
such experts that they can tell the minute
a man enters the grounds whether he is a
crank or not.

bit his little daughter on the leg. The dog
was killed. Yesterday a bloodhound, also
the property of Mr.. Frank, showed symp-

fore he had bitten any one. 1t is thought
that these dogs were bitten by an animal
known to be mad, which ran through the
town few days ago. The mad-dog scare
at Metawan, n. j., is not diminished. Ed
ward Backlin, who was bitten on Saturday,
went to Newark to-day, accompanied by his
father, and if Dr.. O'Gorman advises the
measure. will go to Paris Immediately.
Charles Britton, another victim, has also
consulted. O'Gorman. The dog which bit
them has not yet been found, though people
here have been searching all day. Many
dogs bitten by this animal have been killed

NEW YORK, Dec. pa short and de-

fight with small gloves. Marquis OF Queens
bury rules, for four rounds, and at the ex-
piration Of that the best man was to
receive the purse. Kelliher is rs years old,
stands feet 9 inches high, and weighs 100
pounds. Williams is 81 years old, feet
81 inches, and weighs 15s pounds. Sew
eral feints were made before blow was
struck. Both were very nervous. After
spending forty seconds, Kelliher planted a
solid blow on his opponents chest. In re-
turn he received two rapid short-arm-blows,
the latter of which gave Williams the first
knock down. Kelliher, however, was on
his feet in second. Williams made dash
at him but Kelliher was ready. Williams
confined his blows to the face, while his op-
ponent seeing high guard, landed half a
dozen heavy blows on Williams stomach.
This caused Williams to lower his guard.
Then Kelliher turned his attention to Will
iams' face and neck. A sharp blow from
the right shoulder drew blood. Kelliher's
friends
SHOUTED THEMSELVES HOARsE.
Encouraged by the cheers, the Boston
man went at the Bridgeporter with re-
newed energy. Both fought desperately.
The telling work of Kelliher on his oppo-
nent's stomach made Williams somewhat
groggy, and his blows were weak. Kelli-
her landed sledge-hammer blow on the
left cheek and Williams dropped to the
ground. Blood was flowing from his
mouth and his chin rested on his chest
as he sat ON the floor. He got
up with some effort, but Kelliher
was ready, and another punch sent Will
Jams to the floor for second time. He
arose again, but only to be knocked down a
third time. Williams was beaten, but he
was game, and he wanted to continue the
fight He staggered as he stood. Kelliher
was about to administer another blow when
Mike Donovan said: THAT man is
whipped; don't give him any more punish
ment." The referee then ordered Kelliher
to his own corner and awarded the fight to
him. The actual fighting time was only 2
minutes and 80 seconds.
