the Principal Speaker of the
Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Great inter-
est was manifested today in the closing
hearing on the question of currency
revision before the committee on
banking and currency of the house.
Secretary Carlisle was present at the
opening of the session The bankers
to be heard represented two widely di-
yergent views, President e. G. Will
Jams, of the Chemical National Bank, of
New York, representing the prevailing
view among bankers, while President
w. z. St. John, of the Mercantile Bank
Of New York, represented the Eastern
view favorable to silver. The preSenc.
of Mr.. st. John had drawn Senator
Teller to the hearing, anxious to hear
the views of an Eastern silver man OH
currency revision.
Chairman Springer read a letter from
President Post, of the York National
Bank, of YORK, Neb., lndorsing the Car
Isle plan. Representative johnson
(kep., lnd.) asked why this letter was
chosen to be read when many letters
giving different views were received.
1t was explained that this was the only
letter from a national bank indOrsing
the Carlisle plan. There was some
sparring over the letter and Mr..
Springer withdrew it.
1here was added in the list the state~
ment OF Mr.. Williams, who opened the
hearing from the fact that the bank of
Whlch he is president has the largest
deposits In the United States, if not in
the world. The situation Is one re-

million in the treasury. AS to the silver

MAYOR PROHIBITS,
Permit for tho Dempsey-R Ryan
Fight Revoked.


NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. Is. Mayor
Fitzpatrick had been a witness OF the
fight last night, and was much con-
cerned as to BOwen's condition after he
had been carried from the ring side.
The mayor had granted permit for the
contest, and was naturally anxious that
there should not be fatal termination.
When Bowen was taken home his
honor had been led to believe that the
mans condition had improved. and the
mayor went home expecting to get up
to learn that no serious consequences
were the result. The mayor was
shocked when the news was conveyed
TO him that Bowen was dead.
The FIRST act of the mayor after reach
ing his office today was to revoke the
permit for the Dempsey Ryan contest,
which was to have taken place tonight
The Auditorium had, however. already
declared the fight off. In speaking of
the resembling Of the permit, Mayor
Fitzpatrick said: IL do not know what
effect the death Of Bowen will have on
pugilism in the future. A material
point, | should say, would be the actual
cause of death. which will be decided at
the autopsy. If death was caused by
the blow which LaVigne struck, then
the sport is fatal, but If death resulted
from BOwen'S head striking the floor,
then the death was attributable TO cir
cumstance which can be avoided in the
future, and the sport is not fatal. | have
revoked the permit in order to remove
any possibility of a repetition of last
nights accident"

HAYWARD NOT SHOT.
An Early Evening Rnmor Is
Quickly Punotured.

Quickly Punotured.
The HaywardS are still in the Ramsey
county Jail wondering what will happen
next. Nothing of any note concerning
them transpired yesterday. Both rose
at the usual hour in the morning,
both ate their regular three meals,
aud both retired before 10 p. m. Neither
received any visitors, aside from Sheriff
Eye, who talked with Harry little
while during the evening. For the in
formation OF those people who manifest
such a vital interest in Harry's new
WhlSkerS, it may crafty them to learn
that he still retains them. He was
somewhat quieter than usual yester-
day and seemingly in a meditative
mood, though it could not be
said that he looked anxious.
1t is evident. however, that he regards
his Imprisonment more seriously than
he did week ago. He is not so debon-
nair and cheerful in his demeanor. But
as for his making any confession it is
extremely improbable that he will ever
pretend to tell what lie knows until he
faces the jury that will try him for mur-
der in the first degree.
A wild rumOr was circulated about 6
O'Clock last night that Harry had shot
himself. The rumOr was groundless
upon its face. for it would be absolutely
impossible for any relative or friend to
convey gun or other weapon to Harry

END OF FINISH FIGHTS.
Sports Consider 1t a Bad Blow for
Pugilism.

X
BOSTON, Dec. Is. - Regarding the
death OF Pugilist Eowen, Joe Lewis. the
former hacker of George Lavigne, said
to an Associated Press representative
this afternoon:
Bowen was punished five to one In
his fight with Bnrke, but was all right
the next day. lie was chopped to pieces
by Lavlgne after the first two rounds,
but feel that an autopsy will prove
that death resulted from some organic
trouble, and not from injuries received
at Georges hands,"
George V. Tohey, of the Sporting Re.
view, said: "Bowen's death following
that Of Con Riordan will prove a hard
blow to the game. Here are two deaths
of prominent pugillsts within a mouth.
1t is only few weeks since two cousins
were boxing in sport at New Orleans.
One was injured and died, and the
moral howlers' of that city set to work
to stop boxing. | fear they Will succeed

The general opinion of Boston sports
is that his death will stop all finish con-
tests.

such force that it caused combustion of

from the fall. The death of Con Rior-

Startling Statistics from
Scientists.

A report on the inquiry into
the connection of disease with
habits of incompetence, prepared
by DR.. Isambard Owen, Secre-
tary of the Investigation Com
mittee of the British Medical
Association, gives some startling
statistics for the temperance peo-
pie. Particulars have been OBJ
tanned by the committee of 1896
cases of deceased livers, aged
twenty-five and upward, in which
the habits of the person in regard
to alcohol were recorded in five
classes-total abstainers, habit
ually temperate, careless drink
ers, free drinkers and decidedly
Incorporate. The ages OF death
in each class show an average as
follows: Total abstainers, 81. %
years. habitually temperate, g.
13; careless drinkers, 1857; free
drinkers, 81 50; decidedly intem-
perate, 52.03. This makes the
lowest average duration of life
that of the teetotaler and the
highest that of the moderate
drinker, his average being nearly
eleven years longer. The habit
ual drunkard averages about
year longer than the total alb
stainer. iAnother table prepared
by the committee. from which all
deaths under thirty were exclud-
ed, shows the following duration
of life. Total abstainers, 81 81;
