THEY HASTEN TO CORRECT
Pennsylvania Manufacturers De-
clare That the Washington Meet
ing Was Fruitful of Much Harm,
and Want an Understanding.

Philadelphia. March 21.-In order to
correct what they allege to be a false
impression growing out of the recent
secret conference in Washington be-
tween silver men and Philadelphia
manufacturers, three prominent mem
bers OF the Manufacturers club to-
day addressed a letter to Robert Dor
nan. its president, requesting him to
call meeting OF the club. for the pur-
pose of informing the country of the
real situation OF the silver question in
the organization.
The letter is as follows: "To-day's
papers show that the capital which the
friends Of the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver are trying to make out
OF the Washington visit OF the Phila-
delphia manufacturers rests upon as
unsound and frail a foundation as the
whole structure they are trying to
erect.
AN erroneous impression has GER
tainly been spreading over the coun-
try that our Philadelphia manufactur-
ers are willing to conciliate the silver
senators by approving the free silver
coinage in exchange for additional pro-
lection. and has given new life to the
dbltd1i'h ioE lFtc SiiNeT lhlS impress
sion should be denied in the most pub
lie ana emphatic manner and we re-
quest you TO call a meeting OF the
Manufacturers club to take action and
express their opinion on free silver
coinage. We desire TO know the posi-
ticn of the club on this question. Yours
respectfully.

STORE OF MATERIAL
Records, Maps and Charts to Be Given
to the Venezuelan Commission.
BY CARACAS VOLUNTEERS
The Collection Is of Great lmpor-
tance - But Secretary Provost
Says Emphaticaily That the
Question Is Not Settled.

Washington. March 21-The latest
mail from La Guayra contains the long
expected addition to the case of Vene-
zuela as IL will be laid before the Vene-
zuela boundary commission. The work
was undertaken at Caracas by a VOL
unteer commission whose services were
accepted by the Venezuela government
and which collected all the material
accessible in Venezuela bearing upon
the boundary dispute. The matter so
far collected was dispatched promptly
by the home government to its minis
ter here, Senior Andrade. and while the
documents themselves are now in New
York. the advance mail has brought to
Washington a complete list of the pa
pers comprised in the installment.
There are 30 copies of the original man
uscript records. but these. after all, are
OF secondary Importance in compari-
son with the large number of maps
and charts that have been gathered to
sustain the Venezuela case. In this
first lot of matter there are no less than
so such maps, and in addition there are
references to almost twice as many
additional charts. that may be readily
obtained. This store Of material will
be turned over to the Venezuela com
mission as soon as IL can be put i'm
order.
Milet Provost, secretary Of the Ven
ezuela commission to-day authorized
the following statement: During the
past week a report has become current
that the commission has reached a de-
cision with reference to the boundary
70 n 10 a.,
having been denied the report has been
circulated in another form. and 1t is
now asserted that. while the commits
sion as a body has reached no such
conclusion. the commissioners individ-
ually entertain the views referred to-
1T must be evident to all that, so
long as anything remains to be exam
ined and considered, the commissioners
are not in a position to form an opin-
ion respecting the merits of the contro-
versy. AS a matter Of fact. neither the
commission nor the individual commits
sioners are as yet in possession of all
the evidence. The papers presented by
Venezuela are but a part Of what has
been promised. The blue book of the
British government while remarkably
full and detailed, does not include all
the documents which may be adduced
in support Of its contentious. The
commission has not and will not
limit itself to the consideration OF
what those two governments may pre-
sent; it has been engaged upon inde-
pendent lines Of inquiry and will con-
tinue to follow those lines until all it's
sources Of information have been ex-
hausted. Then. and not until then, will
II be In a position to form any opinion
or to make any report"

New York, March 2i.-The Commercial

under authority Of Chairman Adams OF

A DISAPPOINTMENT.
KID McCoy and Choynski Mt Allowed To
Finish Their Isou

New York, March 2l.-A large audi
ence was present at the Grand Central
Palace tonight to see what was expect
ed to be a sx-round contest between
Kid Mccoy and Joe Choynski Captain
Delaney. who had charge of the police
arrangements, interfered with the man.
agement and his efforts I'm that direc-
tion were loudly hissed by the specta-
tors. who were chagrined at the police
for spelling what would otherwise have
proved a first-class show. Choynski
and Mccoy when they appeared i'm the
ring, were ready To box on their mer-
its. and were as much disappointed as
the spectators when Announcer Dunn
stated that the police authorities would
not allow the boxers TO fight on their
merits.
Referee Jimmy Carroll announced
that he would render no decision on
account of the stand taken by the po-
lice. The men boxed for one-minute
amid derisive cheers. groans and cat
calls, and as soon as the first round
was over, Choynski stepped to the mid
die of the ring and said: Gentlemen.
IL is not the fault of either Mccoy or
myself that this state OF affairs exists.
our meeting was TO have been on it's
merits. While Mccoy has kindly feel
ings towards me, when | enter the ring
all friendship ceases. | am sorry the
police have interfered, but we will do
the best we can"
After the exhibition had been stopped
at the end OF the fourth round Mccoy
said substantially the same as ChOyn-
ski did and II is possible that the men
may be matched To meet at some Of
the well known clubs In the near fu-
ture. The preliminary bouts. four I'm
number. were also cut very short by
the police. Solly Smith Of Los Angeles
got the decision over Jerry Barnett of
this city after 40 seconds Of lighting.
Paddy Purtell of Kansas City proved
himself too good for Jim Butler Of
Brooklyn, and after the latter was
fioored with a right-hander on the head.
the referee stopped the bout and
awarded the fight TO the western man.

Columbus, Ohio. March 21.-Chief Of
Police Dietsch of Cincinnati has been
requested by G. V. Wing. articulator
of human skeletons for medical stu
dents. to send a full description of
Pearl Bryan's head. Thursday morn
ing, while Wing was still i'm bed. a
man who gave his name as Cole
brought a woman's head in a tin buck
et TO Wings place. The hair on the
LETT side was matted TO the head by
blood and there were dry leaves I'm the
hair, which was combed back and
braided. The color was brown. The
head looked as though IL had been bur-
led or frozen. A medical student. who
examined IT, said the head. in his judg-
ment, had been severed by a person
who understood surgery. The cleavage
or the head from the body was made
on a line from the chin. which would
leave most of the neck on the body. on
the back OF the head there is a cut in
the skull. Cole said he would call for
the head in day or two He has not
been heard from since.
The mystery OF Pearl Bryan's head is
still unsolved. The head. supposed to
be that OF Pearl Bryan. which had been
turned over to @. V. Wing, was placed
