NO CHANGE.
Not Much Likelihood That
President Cleveland
Will Now Change His "Let
Alone7 Policy
IN REGARD TO CUBANS
His Message Is Now Complete
In All Sections
Except Those Pertaining to
IN REGARD TO CUBANS
Except Those Pertaining to
Affairs In Cuba.

Washington. Dec. las there will be
only one more regular meeting of the
cabinet before the assembling of con-
gress, all the members were present at
today's meeting to discuss those por-
tions of the forthcoming message of the
president that relate to the business Of
their respective departments. With one
exception the message is practically
complete and awaiting only a few fin
ishing touches. This exception is most
important, for it concerns the treatment
of the Cuban question. In the natural
order of things this subject coming IN
der the head of foreign relations would
occupy most prominent place in the
very beginning Of the message and so
might be expected to receive early treat
ment at the hands of the president
There is still gap in that part of the
message, however, Notwithstanding sew
eral efforts have been made to close it
up for the varying phases of the cam
paign now in progress in Cuba have
made it necessary to change cOnSldera-
bly, the views the president and Score
tary Olney desire to lay before con-
gress in that connection and prOba bly,
it viii not be until the end of this week
and al the very last moment that the
missing paragra phs viii be supplied OF
course any expression of opinion as to
the nature of the presidents views re
speeding Cuba are only speculative at
present but so far there can be found
no warrant for the assumption that he
has determined upon any decided
change in the policy to be pursued by
the administration in this matter

ly all the leading, Ryan proved 70 pc
splendid defensive fighter, countering
well with lefts on the body Tracy re-
peatedly rushed Ryan into the ropes,
the latter seemed unable to avoid Ira
cy's vicious left jabs in the face, but
countered well. Ryan's stiffness was
the feature of the fight He avoided

The first three rounds were consumed
in sparTing for an opening with Few

fourth Tracy rushed matters and land
ed three 1efts on face and left on wind
while Ryan countered with left on ribs
and chest Tracy continued his left
jabs in the fourth and brought blood
from Ryan's cnaek. Ryan reached the
wind twice with left swings Tracy
rushed Ryan to the ropes and landed
hot right over the heart which caused
Ryan to slip down. under the ropes.
Tracy helped his opponent to his feet
amid the cheers of the audience. In the
eighth Tracy led Ryan on with feints

Both men appeared fresh and at the
end of the round, according to the
agreement, both men being on their
feet. referee Dial Howkins declared the

New York Dec. LIN the absence Of
opposition the bears continue success
fully in marking down prices. but the
dullness of speculation indicates that no
investment holdings are pressing upon
the market In the present mood OF
traders it seems probable that a lower
level may be reached, accompanied by a
further transfer of long stocks held on
narrow margins into the hands cE
stronger buyers before important inter-
ests once more become active upon the
bun side.
The break in Sugar yesterday doubtless
increased the buOyant feeling of the
bears and correspondingly depressed the
bulls on the general list one Of the
most heaIthful symptoms is the calm
since the elimination OF the election boom
has been regarded. 1t is evident that
the tendency and character Of present
operations are toward the elimination of
a weak long interest and the reconcen-
tratiOn of speculative holdings in strong
dence in the future at all but they now
naturally stand aside with view OF
buying securities at as low a level as
possible. In some of the best informed
circles there is such profound coni-
dence in the pacific tone of Presidenr
Cleveland message where it viii touch
upon the Cuban situation that nothing
but technical explanations Will nll the

His friends have made him so, and he
has said to them he will not repudiate
any honorable efforts made in his be-

them. This is declaration which
means a contest in earnest that will
not cease until the legislature has bal

substantially given here in the Office
of General Sam Thomas yesterday.
Some Republicans, anxious that a
worthy New Yorker should be chosen

were bankers, merchants and lawyers,
and after a consultation lasting some
hours unanimously decided upon Mr..

FITzsIMMoNs-sHARKEY.
National Athletic Club May Have to
Select the Referee.


San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The National
Athletic club may have to select the
referee for the itzsimmons-S harkey
fight tomorrow night. Martin Julian,
Dan Lynch and several other interested
parties met at Sharkey's training quar-
tiers last evening when the question was
discussed Lynch and Julian both sub
mitted a number of names but no one
proved satisfactory to both sides After
some delay it was finally decided to
meet Wednesday morning for a final
consultat ton. If not satisfactory agree
ment can be reached inside Of one hour,
the club viii select the referee accord
ing to the articles of agreement
Sharkey and FitzsimmOns both in
dulged in light work yesterday. Shark
ey expects to scale 1S2 pounds. which
VIII probably be five pounds more than
"Lanky Bob"
Billy Smith. Danny Needham and
George Allen viii be behind Sharkey
while Julian, Hickey and Stenzler are
likely to second Fitzsimmons. Every
thing is in readiness for the contest and
bigger crowd than witnessed the Cor
bett-Sharkey battle is confidently ex-
pected.
Even money that Sharkey does not
stay six rounds with FitzsimmOns is
favorite in the betting proposition here
and thousands of dollars have been
Wagered on this basis. The heavy race
track betters from the east are all solid
for EItzsimmOns and while 20 to are
the prevailing odds in favor of the
Cornish man. several bets of 500 to $40
have been recorded.
