GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY


AL
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The much-heralded
glove contest between Cal Mccarthy, of
Jersey City, and George Dixon, the Choctaw
colored fighter of Boston, for the feather
weight championship, purse Of 81, 900 and
bet Of s., 500 side, which was 10 have
taken place tonight in the rooms of the
Puritan Club in Long Island City, did not
come of. If anybody thinks it did, let
him ask Mayor Patrick j. Gleason, of Long
Island City, who was anxious to see the
Mayor should prove uncommunicative. per-
haps his good friends, the members of the
Jeffersonian Club, can give the desired informa-
tion. Should these fail. ask any one of the
1000 persons who stood outside the big frame
structure for two solid hours tonight, with the
wind blowing keenly across the open waste.
The members of the Puritan Athletic Club,
who had Mayor Gleason's permission to bring
off the contest, were confident that nothing
would be done to stop the affair, but three
members of the Jeffersonian Club went to the
District Attorney Fleming, at Jamaica, who
told them to get out rants for all concerned
from the local justice. This was done, and
when the crowd had vainly waited hours for
some one in authority to explain the delay,
big chested man stepped forward and said the
fight was indefinitely postponed, owing to the
Sheriff interference.
The hackers of each man would not run the
risk OF having their champions arrested. 1t is
stated that the fight is declared off, but we'll
informed people state that it will take place
within short time Both fighters were in ex-
cellent condition. and although Dixon was the
favorite slightly. the Mccarthy party were con-
fdent of victory.

MAKING GOOD SPEED.
THE PROPOSED ROAD LAW RECEIVING
PROMPT ATTENTION.
1t Is Introduced in Both Houses of the Leg
islature and Favorably Reported Back
Pittsburg Engineers Appear in Behalf of
Road Law.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

HARRISBURG, Feb. 5.-The proposed
general road law received prompt attention
to-day. 1t was introduced in both Senate
and House, and was referred to the Commit
tee on Counties and Townships in each
branch. The Senate Committee reported it
back within an hour, with an affirmative
recommendation. The House committee in
the afternoon favorably recommended it also.
Tomorrow it will 60 the printers, and 8, 600
copies will be struck off for general circula-
tion throughout the State. especially among
the rural newspapers. By this quickness it
secures a fairly good place on the calendar.
Accompanying the road bill, Senator Mylin
also introduced a supplementary bill, ap-
propriatihg 81, ,0O0 600 to carry out its provi-
sions This bill went to the Appropriations
Committee.
The formal report of the road commission
was prepared by Senator Harlan, of Ches-
ter, Chairman of the commission. 1t de-
scribes the exhaustive methods by which the
commission secured information and opinion
regarding the concltion OF country roads and
the necessity for improvement. He says the
commission avoided taking the more radical
policy. Great reforms are always put upon
surer foundation when started gradually. For
that reason the middle course was adhered to
in preparing the bill. The next Legislature
eau carry the plan still farther if desired.
This bill is big step in advance.
But very few counties in the State
have an engineer. This bill requires
that they must all have one. The supervisors
serving without pay will save possibly $500 to
every township. Tine distribution of State aid
is believed to be the best plan that could be
found. The method of paying road taxes is
better than the present one and the commits
sion thinks it will offend no one. for Whenever
a farmer wishes, he may give notice and re-
ceve the preference in employment upon
the roads, paving his taxes in cash and
receiving a warrant for his wages, which may
be Offset against the tax assessed against him.
But the wages of such persons are restricted,
SO as TO give the privilege only to able-bodled
men.
County Engineer Davis and Alexander
Dempster, of PittsDurg, appeared before the
House Committee on Counties and townships
this afternoon as a committee from the West
ern Pennsylvania Engineers Society on behalf
of the country road bill prepared by that organ
ization and presented in the House last week
by Mr.. Stewart. Mir. Dempster said they did
not urge the bill in opposition to that coming
from the State Road Commission, but to ask
that if, in the consideration of road legislation
during the session of the Legislature. it is
found that the bill of the engineers society
contains any better feature than the others it
may be incorporated in the commissions bill.
This bill is still in the committee.

He Is Endeavoring to Insure Public Safety
Ere Going to France.
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 5.-Under orders from
the Government a detail of United States Of
fcers made an inspection of Mexican railway
lines and coast defenses. They found them
both much more thorough than they expected,
and the coast works. in Oparticular, were:pro-
crossing with notable rapidity. One of the
officers said to-day: '.For some time past, as am
creditably informed, President Diaz has been
calling the Governors of the different States to
the capital and comforting with them. The
procedure has been unusual and much CON-
ment was excited.
1.-THE fact is that President Diaz leaves
shortly for France, where he viii remain some
months. He is enormously wealthy, has in
vested largely in European enterprises, and is
besides almost totally broken down. The fact
of his intended departure is known only to a
very few persons, and they of the highest cir
cles. The country is not SO quiet as it should
be. The Sandoval revolution of last summer
demonstrated that tho insurrectionary spirit
still exists. The departure of the President is
almost certain to be followed by trouble in one
place or another, and for this reason the Gov.
ernors have been in consultation with him."

Some of the members of the committee have
constituted themselves detectives and have
been purchasing textbooks from the retail
dealers in various cities of the State. One MEM
Der claims to have established the fact that
some retail dealers make as high as 100 per cent
profit. He thinks il may turn out that
the trust is not all to blame. The House
Educational Committee met this afternoon
and listened to State Superintendent Waller
on the subject of free or uniformly priced text
books. He reviewed the various bills for that
purpose now before the committee, but re-
Trained from expressing an opinion as to which
was the best It is understood, however that
he is opposed to the scheme for the State to
print the books, for the reason that there Ring
no competition the books would deteriorae in
literary worth.
1t was decided to report affirmatively the
district superintendent bill from Allegheny
county. The bill requiring school directors to
take an oath of Office after election was acted
upon favorably, after expunging that part re-

Any amount of men are killing game in the
