Choynski.
Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence
OF JNo. HOUSTON.
After signing the articles it was given
forth for publication that the two princi-
pals had agreed for the winner to take 81
per cent of the gross gate receipts and the
loser 10 per cent.
The prices of admittance TO the contest
were fixed at 81, So and So.
McAuhffe said he wished to correct q
statement made in one of the morning
papers to the effect that the purse should
be evenly divided or the loser take 25 per
cent of the gross gate receipts. Joe was
so anxious to sign articles that he was
willing for the winner to take all.
Then the conference ended. Joe will
olbtIess remain in training at Barney
Farley's, while Choynsk is not known to
have selected his training quarters yet.
Anyway the two well-known men will
come together the 2Sth of this month and

on board the barge Yolo on the charge oi

appeared before Judge Low yesterday
morning. They were represented by AT.

he would consent to the latter request if
Sweeney would allow the prosecution to
name the man. Sweeney objected, but
finally consented.

WILL NOT RAZE BUILDINGS
The Board of Health Calls a
Sudden Halt on One of
It's Projects.
Chinatown Rookeries May Stand Yet
While, but Will Be Ordered
Closed.

The Board of Health has decided that il
will not brave the legal storm that it
would have invoked had it carried out its
intention of tearing down rookeries in
Chinatown that are said to be menaces to
the public health. At first the board was
loud-even vociferous-in its declaration
that Chinatown must be cleansed by tear
ing down some of the most obnoxious
buildings and that such course was to be
pursued whether or not the property
owners liked it.
The first check to the destructive career
of the board came when Chief Crowley of
the Police Department and Chief Sullivan
of the Fire Department, on being asked to
participate in the razing of the buildings,
declared emphatically that they would
have no hand in it and that, moreover,
they believed the board was exceeding its
rights in destroying property that way.
A majority of the board argued with the
officials, but in vain, and the matter came
to a standstill.
Yesterday at conference it was de-
cid ed to forego the razing for the present
and until the legal rights of the board in
tn premises have been clearly defined.
In the mean time buildings that have
been declared by the inspectors to be in
bad sanitary condition will be condemned
and the owners required to close and keep
them closed. All tenants will be ex-
pected to find other quarters, and thorough
tumigation will be resorted to to prevent
disease from spreading from the unsani-
tary buildings pending the decision as to
their fate.
AS the closing of buildings will entail a
Dig loss on the owners, legal fight is ex-
pected even over this measure. and the
powers OF the board will doubtless be
definitely settled before the matter is
finally adjudicated.

Addition TO Our Navy.

Another formidable ship has been
added to the active list Of the United
States navy. The double turreted mon.
itor Terror has gone into commission
ct the Brooklyn navy yard. She 10 heav.
lily armored and has four ten-inch guns
In her turrets which will throw stee!
projectilcs with accuracy and effective
ness nine miles. The Terror has low
free.board and her turrets are low, for
which reasons she will offer q poor
target for hostile men-of-war. She
could bring all four Of her guns to bear
on a ship which. at q considerable dis
lance, would have great difficulty In
hitting her ut all.
