and Dick Burge by Judge Newton, OF
the Coney Island Athletic Club.
The sum OF American dollars which
the great seaside club offers for the bat
tie is purse Of $4,000.
This latest bid completely overtops
the $50, 900 purse which Captain Will

Club, OF New Orleans, made for the
fighters Wednesday morning, and Will

sporting circles.
The purse was extended for the two
light-weights' acceptance In the cafe OF

persons present at the conference were
McAuliffe; Eddie Stoddard, his trainer;
Judge Richard Newton, representing
the Coney Island Athletic Club; Phil
Dwyer, and Capt. Frank Williams, OF
the Crescent City Athletic Club.
When the party assembled McAuliffe
asked Newton if he proposed to raise
the ante OF $4,000. "Yes," replied the
Judge. ~ do, aud my bid is S45, ,0Oo."
McAuliffe then Uniformed Newton
that the amount was satisfactory, but
he would first see what Capt. Williams
had to say in the way Of raising the
amount.
The New Orleans match maker said
that he would first have to- telegraph
his club in New Orleans and walt In
structions before he could bid higher.
McAuliffe then said he would sign
articles OF agreement to fight Burge De-
fore the Coney Island Athletic Club Tor
the $4,000 purse providing that the
stipulation be made In the document
that Dick Roche his backer would ap-
! prove of the match.
That being satisfactory to Newton.

! likewise Stoddard as witness.
The agreement stipulates that DOTH
men are to meet at 1873 pounds for the

DeRes His Enemies.

PARIS, December 21.-Immediately
after the opening Of Chamber of Depu-
ties Jules Roche, exMinister OF Com
merce, whom the Procureur General
Yesterday was authorized TO prosecute
for sustaining corrupt relations with
the Panama Canal Company, ascended
sSHCo. IIe WAS ldUUrInB unuer InJenSc
excitement, and swung his arms vio-
lently as he walked up the aisle. As he
passed the ministerial bench ne faced
about suddenly and exclaimed: ooh
you hypocrites and sc0undrels."
Several ministers retorted hotly. In
the confusion OF the house the incident
was noticed only by deputies on the
front benches. As he began his defense,
NJ. Roche's voice was sharp and un-
steady, and from beginning to end his
manner was nervous and strained. He
said he did not know what enemies he
had to face, nor did he care, for his con-
science was clear.
He had nothing with which to re-
DrOach himself. His most venOmous
enemy could not connect him with the
lottery bond affair as he did not even
vote on the bill. He denounced the
Procureur General for proceeding
against deputies on insufficient evidence
and declared that in mis- case at least
this gentleman would be found to be
sadly in error. While passing back 10
his seat NJ. Roche received many con-
gratulations from fellow members.

ST. LOUIS CITY FUNDS.
The Investigation of the City Treasurer's
Office Begun.

Offtcc Begun.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, December 21.-The
work OF investigating the city's finances
was begun to-day by the special COM
mittee of Council appointed last night.
The object of the committee is 10 act
on the message Of the Mayor, reporting
deficit in the city treasury on the suS-
pension of Treasurer Foerstel, and, if
they find it TO be true, then prefer
charges against the treasurer to the
council, as provided by law.
Their session will be executive while
conducting the investigation nor will
they give out any information until
other reports to council next Friday is
made.
The story of blackmaiIer causing
the suicide OF Ed Foerstel was more
definitely confirmed to-day by an init
mate friend of the dead man, James
Harrison, who positively asserted that
the blackmaier was former partner
Of young FoerStel, Harry Carroll by
name.
1t is learned that Carroll in some way,
while visiting the young man, became
possessed Of personal memorandum in
FoerstePs cash box acknowledging in
debtedneSs TO the city of $3.50
Using this as hammer, Harrison
says Carroll secured about $1,000, and a
further demand for $4,000 hush money
precipitated suicide, which, of course,
disclosed the actual state Of affairs and
the full amount of shortage.
As to recovery Of missing funds it is
now tolerably well assured that the
suicide has left enough property to
cover his deficit.

A Probability That the treasury FortIoho

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 21.-
Everything that can be heard here
strengthens belief 10 the correctness OF
the report sent in these dispatches some
DAYS ago that Senator Carlisle will be
the next Secretary Of the Treasury. In
the best Informed quarters no doubt
seems now TO be felt that the Senator
can have the place if he thinks it wise
TO take it, but be is understood
TO be very reluctant to leave
the Senate, where he can remain
as long as he wishes, in all probability,
for the uncertainties Of a Cabinet posi-
Jlon and It's increased responsibilities.
The report that Cleveland is considering
Congressman Harter, Of Ohio, for the
Treasury portfolio is not regarded serl-
ously here. It is generally felt Mr..
Cleveland will be exceedingly unlikely
10 offer the Treasury 10 so extreme and
aggressive a gold man as Mr. Harter
while so strong a feeling In favor OF Sill
var aviStS in tho nartu ---- ~.'St.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 21.-
The offer of Mine uperintendent Allen,
Of Butte, Mont, 20 coin silver dollar
OF more intrinsic value than the stand
ard dollar issued by the Government at
the rate Of ninety cents apiece, will re-
ceiye no consideration at the Treasury
Department, for the simple reason that
there is no legal authority for the ac
ceptSnce Of such ah offer even if it was
regarded as advantageous.
One of the Officials of the mint
bureau said to-day that Mr.. Aliens as
sertion that it would be profitable to
counterfeit the standard silver dollar at
It's present value, even with the use Of
the same amount Of silver, applied with
equal truth to all cGrrencies aud securi-
ties issued by the government. with the
possible exception Of gold. He added
that the point would have been even
stronger had it been made against the
Columbian half dollar instead Of against
the standard silver dollar, for the rea-
son that while both are now being float
cd on the market as worth a dollar, it
takes just half as much silver to pro-
duCe one as to produce the other.

eating commission TO summon ana eX-

of the Interior in recent years. Inc

Yyes-Guyot, Radical Deputy for the

mention of President Carnot's name In
direct connection with the scandal
/ Many believe that secret and hostile

superintendent Byrnes Furnishes sn
officer to Keep Stray Cranks Away
from Mr.. Cleveland
New YORK, December 21.-Mr. Clsye-
land appeared at his Office In the Mills
building this morning accompanied by
uperintendent Byrnes.
The incident was variously comment
ed upon, but Mr.. Cleveland said that he
had nothing to say concerning the mat
ter.
Superintendent Byrnes declined to
speak further than to say that his pres
ence as an escort to Mr.. Cleveland did
not concern the public.
Two explanations however, were
given for the event, one by Mr.. Cleve-
lands and the other by Superintendent
Byrnes' friends.
The first was to the effect that the
Superintendent Of Police had offered
Mr.. Cleveland the services OF de-
tective to be constantly with him till
he starts for Washington.
This offer was not made, II was said
because the slightest apprehension was
felt concerning the welfare OF the Pres
ident-elect.
II was more the result OF desire to
avert taking the slightest chance that
Mr.. Cleveland might be molested by
stray cranks either on the street or at
his home.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends said that he
had declined TO accept the Superlntend-
ent's offer as he felt that be was still q
private citizen and should be treated as
such.
The other statement was that not
withstanding Mr.. Cleveland's wishes In
the matter, one OF Superintendent
Byrnes' men will not be far of, no
matter where the President-elect is,
whether 10 New York or at Lakewood.
