CALL FOR NEW DESIGNS.
The Dollar, Half Dollar, Quarter and
Dime to BE Changed.

The Dollar. Half Dollar. Quarter and
Dime to Be Changed.
WASHINGTON, Arpil 6.-Mr. Edward
o. Leech, director of the mint, will
probably issue circular tomorrow to
artists for new designs for subsidiary
coins. The general features of the pres
ent coins will be preserved to a consid-
erable extent. The coins to be changed
are the silver dollar, the half dollar, the
quarter dollar and the dime. These
changes are to be made under the act
passed at the last session of congress,
which appropriated $3.50, 900 for the pur-
pose and available July 1. Director
Leech thinks that from 81 ,0OO, 900 to $3,-
000,0 900 of the assets of 500 ,O00, 900 in the
treasury can be recoined with this ap-
preparation. The gold coins are satisfac-
tory, and will not be changed. The
mandatory coinage of the silver dollar
ceases on July L. After that the trade
dollar bullion in the treasury will be re-
coined into silver dollars. The designs,
after being selected, will not be changed
for twenty-five years. The circular will
call for the submission of the new de-
signs by June L.

SPOKANE FALLS, April 6.-Young Jack
Dempsey, of California, and Charlie
Weber, of st. Paul, fought before the
athletic club tonight for a purse of $500,
$500 to the winner and 5000 to the loser.
Four hundred people witnessed the
fight, which was scientific and cautious
in the early stages, but.spirited and hot
toward the close. The men seemed to
be remarkably evenly matched. In the
ninth and tenth rounds Dempsey forced
the fighting and pushed Weber to the
ropes. In the eleventh round Webber
rallied and closed Jacks right eye.
From then on to the sixteenth round
Webber fought with cautious but telling
tactics. When time was called for the
seventeenth round Dempsey threw up
the fight, several bones in both hands
having been broken. This announce
ment was questioned by those present,
but an examination by physician con-
frmed its truthfulness. The crowd dis
persed with three loud cheers for Demp-

OUR OWN STATE NEWS.
Supposed Case of Leprosy at the State
Penitentiary.

Penftentiary.
SALEM, April 5.-Superintendent
Downing, of the state penitentiary, is
more than uneasy over the symptoms
developed by prisoner who is patient
in the penitentiary hospital. He fears
the ailment is the dreaded leprosy. The
unfortunate victim is man named w.
NJ. Morris, who has for several months
been developing symptoms of some horri-
BILE disease, which is now making quick
inroads upon him. At first bis ailment
was thought to be nothing more serious
than a venereal disease, but it is now
thought to be leprosy. The body is
rotting, and already has holes large
enough to hide persons hand. Morris
was born in Richmond, Va, and came
to the prison three and half years ago
from The Dalles. DIR. Downing Will
likely prohibit visitors at the prison for
some time. Morris will be removed to a
barn, near the prison, and there treated
until cured or dead. The decaying body
emits a horrible smell, which no disin-
fectant can overcome. The prison Of
ficers are at loss to know what course
to pursue. They will try and get an or
der to remove him to some hospital for
treatment.

Fava Aftermath.

ROME, April 6.-The arrival of the text
of Baron Fava's first note showed that
the misunderstanding was due to Blaine g
interpreting the demand for trial as a
demand for conviction. The minister is
indisposed to push the matter beyond a
demand for recognition of the principles
of international Justice. The excitement
has entirely subsided.
OUR MINISTER SURPRISED.
ROME, April 6.-Minister Porter, in an
interview, showed evident surprise that
Italy had executed her threat to recall
Fava, but said he vas convinced of a
speedy and amicable settlement of the
pending difficulties, despite Fava's de-
parture.

An Uncertainty as to who is Mayor.
CHICAGO, April s.-Comptroller Ona-
han said to an associated press reporter: !:
'At this hour, IL 80, it is believed that
Creiger is elected but it will evidently
take the official returns to determine
conclusively." The city press associa-
tion says Hempsted Washburn is elected
by HOO plurality with seven precincts
still to hear from.
Colonel Nye, chairman of the republi-
can campaign committee, went before
the election commissioner this morning
and requested that two members of his
commission be permitted to remain on
guard over the vault in which the re-
turns and documents were to be pre-
served, night and day, until the official
canvass has taken place. "My reason
for asking this" he said, sis amply
sufficient. 1 have been informed upon
unquestionable authority that Mayor
Creiger has declared that no circum-
stance can remove him from Office for
two years."
At 40 p. m., comptroller Onahan
said his figures made late last night were
gone over today by other persons and
that the result was unchanged, giving
the victory to Cregier by 235 votes.

Attorney General Tabor Says He Has No
Right to Touch the Body of Man Killed
by Process of Law-The Case Beyond
His Control.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
ALBANY, July 13.-Attorney General Tabor
said tonight to the reporter that in his
opinion Coroner Levy would be guilty of a
misdemeanor if he digs up the body of muir
derer Smiler killed by electricity at Sing
Sing. The Coroner, according to the At
torney General, had no warrant or authority
for his contemplated action.
at is utterly beyond his control" said Mr..
Tabor There never was, so far as 1 can
find out, a law requiring Coroner to hold
an autopsy on an executed murderer. Now,
in the present case, the law requires that
a post mortem by competent surgeon
shall be held after an execution and
the result attached, to the certificate
which the II witnesses are required to sign,
and this document is filed with the County
Clerk of the county where the prison Is
located. Nothing else is contemplated by
the law, and a further post mortem after all
the requirements of the law have been met
would be an impertinence
"More than that the duties of q Coroner
to-day are limited and expressly liked by
statute. He may inquire into the deaths OF
suicides, physicians found murdered, and
the like, where the cause is unknown; but
the execution of criminal according to
law, after his case has gone through the
highest courts in the land, is not subject OF
Coroner inquest.
Everybody knows how this man came by
his death, and If Coroner Levy persists in
digging him up, he is guilty of misdemean-
or under the section of the code which
makes it a misdemeanor for any one to dis
turb or dissect a body without authority of
law. Coroner Levy has no such authority
and would render himself liable to fine of
$250 years imprisonment, or both.
81 do not say Governor Hill would re-
move him, if he does it, but do say that If
was Governor l would remove him as soon
as he had thus wilfully exceeded his powers.
In England, century or 50 ago, the Coroner
was a very important parsonage and his
powers great, but to-day, under the present
status of the law, scarce a vestige OF that
great power remains, and Coroner Levy or
any other Coroner who aggregates to him
self unwarranted authority will certainly
get into trouble. / think he will find that
witnesses he may summon will not answer
his queries and if he subpoenas Warden
Brown l shall advise the Warden not to CO."
A dispatch from New York says: When the
dispatch came from Albany a reporter
showedit to Mr.. Levy. 1t took the Coroner by
surprise. He decided on the spot that he
wouldn't go to Woodlawn tomorrow morn
ing. He would hustle around and consult
the best authority, he said.

Austin Gibbons Comes to the Front and
Offers to Fight Jack McAuliffe for the
American Lightweight Championship
A Very Business-Like Challenge Issued
to the Champion.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, July 13.-Today James Glib.
bons, Charley Norton, of New York, and
Malley Coffee, of Hoboken, n. j., and dele
CATION OF New Jersey sporting men called at
the Police Gazette Office to issue a challenge
to Jack McAuliffe, to fight for the light
weight championship of America. Gibbons
left the following challenge, and, judging
from the businesslike offer, McAuliffe will
have no opportunity to ignore it:
Jack McAuliffe, of Brooklyn, holds the
Police Gazette lightweight championship
belt, which represents the championship of
America. Austin Gibbons, who has just re-
turned from England, where he was victori-
Gus over Jem Verrall, the English light
weight champion, is. now eager to win the
lightweight championship of America, so
that he can return to England when he goes
to fight Dick Burge or Jem Carney, as the
representative lightweight champion of
America.
81 will match my brother to fight Jack
McAuliffe for 81, 900 a side, the fight to take
place in any club that will offer purse of
5000; in fact, any purse that will suit Mr..
McAuliffe will US me. Austin Gibbons,
with his hacker, will meet Jack McAuliffe and
M. on Thursday, July 10, to post $500 deposit
and arrange a match. If McAuliffe is the
champion he will be on hand. If he fails,
my brother will claim the Police Gazette
belt and the lightweight championship and
fight all corners for that title. We mean
business, and are not playing bluff.
