STARTLING TO THE SPORTS.
The Sharkey, Earp ct al. Con-
 spiraCy Story.
The Sailors Second SWears That FitzSimmonS Struck No Foul BlowSays That Sharkey Was Fairly Knocked Out.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-The eE- idence in the Fitzsimaons-Shark case today was along the lines of the testimony previously given, and Fitz- simmons and Julian have certainly fulfilled their promise to produce a story of conspiracy that would startle the sporting world.
 George Allen, Sharkey's second and assistant trainer, was the principal
 witness today, his evidence corrobe- rating in the main the testimony given by Australian Billy Smith. '-Dn cross s-eXamination Allen admitted that while Sharkey after the fight gave no
 external evidence of injury in the groin he asked for water when taken
 to his dressing room, and when the water was brought, directed Allen to
 bathe his groin ,s
 Allen considered that Sharkey had been fairly knocked out by Fitzsim-
 mons and declares that 10 foul blow
 was struck by the latter. He was so impressed by the fact that Sharkey was knocked out that after the sailor had
 been down six seconds, he started to throw up his towel to indicate Shar- keys surrender.
 Allen said he helped to carry Shar- key into the dressing room, from which all but Sharkey, Lynch and the trainers were excluded, In the dress ing room. Sharkey was carefully ex-
 amined and the witness Was positive he was at that time uninjured in the groin. After Sharkey was taken to his hotel and the trainers were excluded from Sharkey's room, Lynch, Danny | Needham and Dr. Lee were alone with | him. Shortly afterwards from his po-
 sition outside the room, tbe witness
 said he heard Sharkey cry out as if
 in pain. No doctor was permitted to
 examine Sharkey in the dressing
 room immediately after the fight, al
 though several, including a physician
 of the National Athletic club, applied
 for admittance and tende1et1 their ser
 vices. According to the witness, Lynch
 said: ''We want no doc4pr here." William Abbott, who sal ciose to the
 ring, corroborated Allen's testimony.

HELD A MEETING.
The Democrats Exchange Views on Various Questions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The com paratively early adjournment of the senate today was taken advantage of by some of the Democratic leaders of that body to hold a meeting for the exchange of views on the policy to be pursued in the senate by the party during the present session.
 Among other questions under con- sideration was that of the senatorial elections in the various states. The Democrats are convinced that the Re publicans will make every effort to secure majority of the senate through the elections in the various state leg islatures this winter, but at today s meeting the sentiment was that the Republicans could not win in enough states to insure majority in the sen ate.
