EIGLkS SENT TO M,KINLEY.
Two of the American Species Presented to
 the President- Elect.

Canton, O., Nov. 16-An unusually large number of callers were received at the Mckinley residence to-day. Ma jor and Mrs. Mckinley were busy greeting them until long after the sun had gone down. Major McKinley's S mail too, was uncommonly large and this took up a good share of his time during the morning. This letter from Senator Sherman was found among his hundreds of others:
 q am rather late in expressing to you my hearty congratulations for your election as president of the United States, but they are not the less sim cere and hearty The greatest benefi- ciaries of the result of the election are the people, for they have escaped real danger in the threatened election of Bryan and the socialistic ideas he rep resented. You will enter upon your great office with the most hopeful promises of success and I confidently believe that you will meet and perform your important duties to the satisfac- ton of the conservative people of the United States"
 Ulysses s. Click of Chicago, treasurer of the Republican league, called during the afternoon He bore an invitation from the Review club to Major Me Kinley to attend banquet in that city on the 24th. The president-eleet is re- quested to respond to the sentiment, Duties of the Hour" The invitation was taken under advisement, but as Major Mckinley has declined all sim liar requests it is probable he will not accept this invitation.
 Hon. D. K. Watson of Columbus, ex- attorney general of Ohio, was among the callers this evening. Two beautiful specimens of the Black Hill species of the American eagle were received at the Mckinley home this morning. They came from Whitewood, S. D., and the crate in which they were shipped bore the inscription:
 Mark Hanna"
 Major Mckinley sent the eagles to the City park.

 City-Confesses to His Guilt,
 New York, Nov. 16-A nautical ap- bearing man, of about thirty-tive years old, giving the name of John P. Simp- son and his address as Worcester, Mass, was committed by Magistrate

 Central station just as he was putting woman on a New Haven train, on
 complaint of Lena Heine of No. 151 l West 103d street. Though she was the specific complainant, the police say
 there are at least thirty nominal com plainants of whom they have heard. i Simpsons plan was to answer adver- | tisements of domestics for situations. Under the names of Simpson, Williams, Ferguson, Captain Meyers, he would call at the addresses given by the ad vertisers and represent himself as the
 captain of the New York Yacht club 1 boat Electra.
 | He said he had splendid mansion
 in New Haven, Conn, and wanted a
 half dozen good domestic servants. He always offered munificent wages.
 He would demand $1.50 to pay the girls
 fare to New Haven and in some in- f stances just as an accommodation"
 would take hand bag of his new em-
 ploye's effects. He would arrange for | the girls to meet him at the Grand | Central depot to take certain train. l But he failed to meet them in every
 instance.
 l Complaints came in to police head
 quarters thick and fast from various i stations at which the swindled girls
 had told their stories. The Heine girl

 quarters and consented to accompany
 two detectives to the Grand Central de- pot where they went to-day and 1 waited.
 Between ? and 3 in the afternoon
 the girl pointed out Simpson, who en-
 tered the station with a woman, who 1 took the train for New Haven Simp- l son when arrested claimed that the
 woman was his wife at first and af rewards said she was friend. When confronted with Miss Heine's state
 ment that she had paid him $1.50, Simp-
 son pleaded guilty

 A large portion of the session was taken up in discussing the civil service as now applied throughout the United States.
 It was argued that 8 civil service rule only had nominal existence and slightly modified form. The delegates declared that political favor and pull had just as much to do with the ob- taining of office as formerly

 The executive board was instructed to try and obtain the passage of laws by which the government should pro- vide bank for the deposits of the peo- ptes savings in connection with the regular postoffice.
 The cities nominated for holding the next convention were Baltimore Bos- ton, Louisville, Little Rock, Omaha and Butte. No choice was made.

MAYER DEFEATS CHoYNsKL.
Irishman Wins in the Sixth Round Before 4,5OO People in New York.

New York, Nov 16.-The first heavy weight boxing contest of importance held in this city under the new Horton bill was pulled off tonight in the Broadway Athletic club, when Peter Maher and Joe Choynsli met in twen- ty-round encounter at catch weights. Half an hour before the time set for starting the initial bout, a ten-round affair between Patsy Haley of Buffalo and Young Sisto of Providence, the building, which is capable of seating about 4,500 people, was crowded from floor to ceiling.
 Large delegations from Pittsburg, Boston and Philadelphia had seats by the ringside. There was 8 tremendous amount of interest taken in the Maher- Choynsh go, but very little money was Wagered. The consensus of opinion was that the Irishman would win but Peter has had such an unpleasant way of giving his packers the wrong end of the money that they were rather chary of chancing any reverses Both men were in splendid condition, but in form Maher looked to have the best chance. Choynski, however, had many friends.
 In the opening contest Haley was an easy victor.
 There was scarcely vacant seat in the building when everything was ready for the appearance of the stars. Maher was the first to appear at 9:47, Choynski following a minute after wards. Both came in for generous share of handclapping. Maher was seconded by Peter Burns, Peter Low rey and Jack Quinn In Choynski's corner were Tommy West, Paddy Cor man and Bob Armstrong. Maher weighed 173 pounds and Choynsh 167. Little money changed hands, but Ma her was a slight favorite.
 Up to the fifth round honors were easy. In the sixth round Choynski led with a left on the face and forced the fighting, sending Maher staggering to the ropes with left on the jaw. Fierce in-tighting followed, and then Maher iioored his man with g. left hook. Ma her rushed at Joe and landed right and left on the jaw, flooring his man again. Choynski got up on the ninth count, only to be sent down again and knock ed clean out with a right cross on the jaw.
 The police clambered into the ring, but no arrests were made. The referee awarded his decision to Maher, The round lasted 2:25.

Shipwreoked Sailors on Cuban Coast Mar.
 rowly Escape Death.

Io"lJ ALsCupe Dehtn.
 Quarantine, s. l., Nov 16.-Among the passengers who arrived to-day on the steamer Yucatan from Havana were Captain Nelson and twelve of the crew of the steamer Coila, which ran ashore on Colorado Reef on the morn ing of November 4. Later she got off into deep water and Captain Nelson attempted to run her across the strait to Key West, but the water gained so rapidly they abandoned the steamer, which shortly afterwards sank in deep Watre.
 The shipwrecked seamen landed on the Cuban coast, about sixty miles west of Havana, where they fell into the hands of Spaniards. The latter believ- ing them to be filibusterers from Amer ica treated the prisoners harshly, threatening to shoot all hands. Finally they were conveyed to Havana, where they were taken in charge by the Brit ish consul, who sent them ot New York. One of the shipwrecked crew after they landed in Cuba was struck a violent blow on the head with loaded cane by a soldier who suspected him of be- ing an American.
 This seaman said: "If we had been Americans we would never have lived to tell the tale"

Did A. J. Spute of Denver Kill His Wife
 and Five Children:

Denver Nov. 16.-Andrew J. Spute, well known grocer here, with his wife and five small children went boating on Smiths Lake, October 26. The boat was capsized and Mrs Spute and the children were drowned. Spute, appar- ently with great difficulty, managed to cling to the boat until rescued Mrs. Spute's life and the lives of the chill dren were insured for sums aggregating S12,000. Detectives have been quietly at work since the night of the drowning and it is alleged have secured evidence that will convict Spute of the murder of his family for the insurance.
 Spute was arrested this morning and shortly after Nellie Davis, an inmate of a Market street resort was jailed. Spute, it is alleged, has for a long time led dual life and has lavished much money on the Davis woman. The wo- man is held as a witness, but it is not believed she, was acquainted with Spute's plan for the murder of his family.

 Early in the day the constable had searched Terrill and found no weapon on his person. Previous to going up to speak with him wife, Terrill stepped out in the backyard, and 1t, is thought that while there he secured the revol- yer with which he did the deed.

DEMOCRATIC TEAMMATES.
No Candidate for Mayor Selected-Ns
 Candidate for Board of Public Works

No Candidate for Mayor SeIected-New
 Candidate for Board of Public Works
 The silver town committee met last evening, with the advisory contingent, and made preliminary arrangements for the local campaign. The only definite news that committee would give out was that James B. Martin would issue the call to-day for the town caucuses next Monday evening. If the aggrega- tion combined upon any man to lead them in the mayorolity contest they failed to disclose his name.
 When Chairman Troup was asked if there was anything in the rumor that Dr. Austin B. Fuller, the late candi- date for congress, was to receive the nomination, he looked straight into the heavens, as if he were invoking the guidance of the stars. If he obtained the knowledge he still had every parti. cle of 1t, for he simply said, "I see such statements made In one of the papers.
 But I thought the gold msn were going to take us back, provided we humbled ourselves sufficiently, and put on sackcloth and ashes, and we had nothing to do but to follow. But speaking seriously, do not have any idea whom the silver men will nomi- nate" concluded the popocratic leader.
 The truth is, the silver men have not settled on anyone yet.
 Fire Commissioner Walker gave out last evening that he was in the race for renomlnation, until the finish, in spite of the rumors to the contrary.

FAIR WILL CASE ENDED.
Famous Pencil Will Wfthdrawn-S2O,-
 OOO,OO Involved.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The strug- gle for the possession of the millions left by the late Senator James G. Fair, was terminated this morning when Dr. Marc Levingstone, the executor named in the pencil will of which Mrs. Nettie Craven, the reputed wife of the deceas- ed millionaire, was custodian, withdrew her petition for the probate of that document.
 Dr. Levingstone alleges that the will was distasteful to the Fair heirs, who control the funds of the estate, and as the supporters of the pencil will are without means to sustain their claims in court the document might be defeat ed. That result would reflect on the le- gality of the deeds of property from the late senator to Mrs Craven. On mo- tion of the attorneys for the Fair chil- dren the will executed September 21, 1894, in which no mention is made of Mrs. Craven, was admitted to probate.
 The amount involved is about S20,- 900, ,000 Mrs. Craven will now contest her claim to the property for which she holds deeds alleged to be drawn in her favor by Fair at the time of their mar riage.

HARYARD's ELETEN AND CREw.
Football Team and Oarsmen Indulged i
 Practice Yesterday


 Boston, Nov 16.-The Harvard War sity football team played a 30-minute practice game this afternoon in which she first and second elevens scored one touchdown each. The touchdown for the first eleven was made by Bouve, left guard, after brilliant fifteen yard run, and the touchdown for the second eleven was made by Dibble, after Q 40-yard run around Moulton from a fake kick formation. The first time in four weeks Captain Wrightington play ed at left half back. Houghton, who has also been absent about three weeks, played for a short time, Frank Shaw and Cabot, who have been on the list of crippled players, were also out, but did not play in the lineup. John Dun lop, the star half back, was seriously hurt by spraining a ligament in his leg. If this keeps him out of the Penn- sylvania game Saturday Harvard S chances if victory will be much less. It seems now that Wheeler, Houghton, Cabot and Wrightington will all play in the Pennsylvania game.
 MT. R. Y. Lehman, the new Harvard coach, gave his first lesson this after noon to eight men. He took them out in pairs Mr. Cook, an old Oxford oarsman, was also at the boathouse and went out with some of the men. He is not, however, to assist MT. Leh- man permanently. MT. Lehman coach- ed in a very quick, energetic way and it will not be his fault if the Harvard crew men fail to learn the principles of his English stroke.

 Cuba's Fate in the Balance.
 Havana, Nov. 16.-No definite news regarding the movements of General Weyler, who is operating against the rebels under Maceo in the province of Pinar del Rio, has been received The last reports stated that he was pene- trating the Rubi Hills under a fierce fire from the insurgents, but since then nothing has been heard from him, and there is considerable anxiety among the loyalists here. Rumors of all kinds are current, but none of them is trustwor- thy.
 Official reports were received to-day giving accounts of skirmishes between the troops and rebels in all the prov inces except Pinar del Rio.
 The plan for a meeting of bankers and merchants to take part in the na- tional loan did not amount to anything owing to lack of time. The popular subscriptions here to the loan amount to only $55,000
 The gunboat Magallanes, which has arrived here, brings information. that General Castellanos had arrived at Cascorro. He reported that he had eight encounters with the rebels, who were very active. Returning from Cas- zorro to San Miguel, he had further en- counters with the enemy under Garcia and other leaders. The rebels, who were repulsed sustained heavy loss The Spanish column fired in the vari- ous engagements forty-three cannon shots and used 100000 cartridges. The troops lost twenty killed and major, a lieutenant and 113 privates wounded
 The rebels have destroyed the town of Guaimaren, in the east part of the province of Puerto Principel.
