sEARKEY ON HAND.
Presents His Check When the Bank
Opens.

San Francisco. Dec. 1S.-As soon as
the Anglo-Californian Bank opened
this morning, Tom Sharkey presented
the certified check for $4,000. handed
him by Referee Wyatt carp on the
day following the fight with F'itzsim-
mons.
The cashier notified the sailor that
attachments aggregating $500 had
been filed against the certificate.
''All right, then; give me the bal
anee," remarked Sharkey in a way
which indicated that he was anxious to
get the $500 out of the reach of the
collectors. The money was turned over
to him and he proceeded on his way
jubilantly.
Sharkey has not definitely determined
as to his future movements.
I'm ready to fight anybody" said
DESTROYS of meeting me, it don't look
as if I would get a match for some
time. Peter Maher, the man l would

Inquiry among members of the grand
jury leads to the conclusion that that
body will not proceed against the
boxers by finding indictments for fell
ory. On the jury are a number of
prominent citizens who do not disap-
prove of ring contests. They hold it
would be unwise to proceed against
the boxers as it is certain convictions
could not be obtained.

HEARING BEGUN.
LONG AND SHORT HAUL CASE
BEING CONSIDERED.
Snu-r, of the Southern Pacific, the
only Witness Called by the Inter
state Commerce Commission Yes
teroay.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The interstate
commerce committee today began a
hearing on the application of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway,
Rio Grande Western. Southern Pacific,
Colorado Midland, and receivers of the
Union Pacific for a suspension OF the
long and short haul clause of the fourth
section of the act to regulate COM
merce. The suspension is desired be-
tween what is known as the Colorado
common points, including Denver Colo
RADIO Springs, Pueblo. El Moro and
Trinidad. in Colorado. and what is
known as the California terminal
points, such as San Francisco, Sacra-
mento. Stockton and other points on
the Pacific coast. The object of the ap-
plication is TO enable these roads to
meet competition with water traffic by
the Atlantic and Pacific steamships
and incidentally with the Canadian Pa
cific Railroad company, over which the
Interstate commerce committee has no
jurisdiction.
The only witness called was c. T..
Smurr of the Southern Pacific The
contention of the opponents Of the pro-
posed rates is that Denver and other
points west of the Missouri river should
be given rates equal to those now ex-
listing from Missouri river points This
was explained as not in opposition to
the railroads, bur in the interest of the
people and roads alike. and that the
desire was only to aid in building up
the railroads from Denver to the west
as wei as 70 assist the business men
of chose localities. A decision is hardly
10 be expected for some time yet, but
che representatives of the Citizens
league Of Denver are hopeful for q de-
cision in their favor.

ALL The WORLD AROUND.

A different standard of beauty is SET
up in every country. And in every
land artificial means of identifying
the face are used The women of ia
pan are lovely with gilt teeth; those
of the Indies stain their teeth red;
those of Guzurat invariably stain them
black In Greenland the women color
their faces with green and yellow pig
ment, and the prettiest Muscovite
maiden cannot hope for admiration I'M
til she has covered her fair complexion
with coarse red and white paint. In
Persia an aquiline nose is a necessity
TO either male or female beauty and
frequently out of family of sons the
accession to the throne has been de-
cided by the shape of a nose. Red hair
is viewed with horror and always dyed.
On the contrary, in Turkey red hair is
counted as a great beauty and the
women dye their hair that tint. In
some countries mothers break the noses
of the daughters to render them at
tractive. or bind their infant heads in
boards to elongate them. In China,
where most eyes are narrow and long,
a small, round eye is considered an
extraordinary beauty. Chinese girls
pluck their eyebrows to make them
very fine. Turkish women paint their
eyebrows with gold. and at night the
effect is very odd and not displeasing.
An African beauty must have very
small eyes. thick, pouting lips, large,
perfectly fiat nose and a jetty skin
which, from constant oiling, positively
glistens.
A nose-ring to European is very
Objectionable, but the Peruvians pierce
the noses of their women and hang
weighty rings. the thickness of which
indicates the rank of the husband. Nose
boring is also very prevalent among
the Hindoos, and often a number of
perforations are made from which are
hung tiny rings of jade, crystal. silver,
gold or turquoises. Ears also are
bored to an extravagant extent. and
sometimes a bells will have the entire
rims of both ears garnished with in
Vulnerable rings.
In Spain even the youngest girls
paint and powder absurdly, while in
Venice the celebrated Titan red hair

HENDRICKS SUIT.
he CAUSES A DECIDED SENSA-
TON IN NEW YORK.
Serious Charges Made Against the
Directors of the Manhattan Rail-
way Company-Fictitious Divi-
dends.

Albany, N Y, Dec. 1S.-A sensa-
tional case was begun before the at
torney general of the state of New
York today. Mortimer Hendricks of
New York City, bondholder of the
Manhattan Railway company, who
owns and operate the elevated railway
system of New York CITY, made ap-
plication to Attorney-General Hancock,
asking him to bring final action against
the directors of the Manhattan COM
pany for judgment compelling them to
pay back to the railroad company the
amount of money paid to the stock
holders in dividends in excess of sur
plus profits, and removing the directors
from office and restraining them and
their successors in office from declar
ing and paying dividends in excess of
the profits of the corporation.
Mr. Hendricks was directed to serve
notice of his application upon the di
rectors of the company, and a hear
ing was set before the attorney general
for next Wednesday. Mr.. Hendricks
asserts that during the year ending
June so. 1895, the company paid 81, $780,
600 dividends, which was $2I7 ,951 in
excess of their surplus profits, and that
during the year ending June &c. 1896,
dividends. which was $6S1,s in excess
of the surplus profits of the company.
He says that since June 80. 1886, the di
rectors declared a quarterly dividend
amounting to $780, 900, although the net
income was only STAT 600. He claims
that the earnings of the corporation
have not been sufficient during the
last two years to pay the expenses of
operating the road, its fixed charges,
and the dividends on the stock by
about S1.020,0OO, and he charges the
fact to be that the excess OF dividends
over the profits have not been paid out
of the surplus, but out of the loans
made by the corporation, and that thus
a debt was created TO pay excess divi-
dends amounting to over 81, 200, 200. The
directors who Mr.. Hendricks desires
the court to remove from Office are
George j. Gould, Edwin Gould, Howard
Gould, Russell Sage. Thomas T. Eek
ert. Samuel Sloan, Robert M. Galloway,
Donald Mackay, Joseph Eastman, A l..
Hopkins, q. p Morosini, Warren 3.
Smith and John J. Terry
The officers of the company are:
President. George ]. Gould; secretary
and treasurer, d. W. McWilliams and
the general manager, w. ]. Fransioli.

Fitz Thanks His Friends.

San Francisco. Dec. 1s.-In a state
ment to the public printed here, Robert
Fitzsimmons thanks his friends for the
aid they have extended him in his
fight in court to secure the $4,000
purse which, he says, he honestly won
in his fight with Sharkey. He declares
that his opponents, finding that the
justice of the case was with him had
it dismissed on the ground that the
contest was a prize-fight, and had no
standing before the court. This move.
he says, fully reflected the utter hope
lessness of the defence. He asserts that
he still has faith in his belief that there
are honest referees in San Francisco.
and says he is willing to meet anyone
whom he has not defeated and also
Sharkey, whom he expresses a wish to
meet again. FitzsimmonS closes by
saying that he has always been and
always will be opposed to foul methods.

Early Yesterday, and Received
His $4,000, Minus 81, 500,
Which Had Been Attached by His
Creditors-As to His Future.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-When Bob
Fitzsimmons was seen last night in
reference to his coming fight with Cor
bett, he said:
i am glad Corbett has signed for a
finish fight. 1 held out for fight of
that kind and 1 am pretty well satisfied
from the look of things that / did not
hold out in vain. / don't believe l
would consent to meet Corbett in any
other kind of a match.
Il am satisfied with George Siler as
referee and with Al Smith as holder of
the stakes, and as to the date, March
IL suits me as well as any other day.
In fact, whatever arrangements Stuart
may impose as to date and location Will
be agreeable TO me. 1 hear that Cor
bett insists there shall be a $4,000 side
bet. Well, he need not worry about
that He can make it $3.50 a side if
he likes, and 1 will find my end of the
stake. We were to fight for $4,000 a
side originally and ii was simply at
Corbett's request that the figures were
reduced to $1,000 a side
Manager Julian has wired Dan
Stuart that Fitzsimmons and himself
will leave for New York within a few
days and will there sign the articles
of agreement.

BLUFFER CoRBETT.
Suggests Side Bet of Fifty Thous-
and Dollars

San Francisco, Dec. 1s.-When informed
this evening that Corbett had suggested
a side bet of $4,000 in his match with
Fitzsimmons. the Australian pugilist
stated that he willing to go as high as
SIS, 600. but beyond that figure he could
not say. He would require time to find
the backing. Martin Julian. Fitzsimmons'
manager, was surprised when he heard
of Corbetts proposition. Why it is
only a short time ago." he remarked,
that Corbett asked me to reduce the
side bet to 5000. as all his money was
tied up and his friends were afraid that
he had gone back physically. We will
try and accommodate him, however, for
as large an amount as he desires"
Sharkey has nothing to say regarding
the t-Fitzsimmons contest.

and now it was proposed by the SEN
ate 20 take a step which would IN
volye US in considerations with Spain,
and retard a return to prosperity Lor
several years. He expressed the oellel
that ali the Republican leaders, as Wen
AS the influential Democrats IN the
house, would set their faces strongly
against the adoption Of any Cuban
resolution which might properly be re-
garded by Spain as an unfriendly act
ARE SURPRISED.
Members Of the foreign affairs COM
mittee expressed their surprise at the
change of sentiment among their col
leagues. The prediction was freely
made that Notwithstanding the unan-
unity with which the resolution was re-
ported by the senate committee, II was
doubtful if the senate would adopt it,
or at least not without a very consider
able delay. Not a single member OF
the house out of 8 score or more OF
leaders could be found who believed
that the senate resolution could pass
the house.
The opinion was freely expressed that
the senate, from being a conservative
branch of the government has changed
places with the house, and that the
latter today is, by fong odds, the con-
sentative branch of congress.
QUIGG's VIEWS.
One of the members of the foreign
affairs committee who did not hesitate
TO express his views publicly was Mr..
Quigg, New York Republican. He
said:
Il don't think the senate resolution
can lass the house at this session of
congress. do not know a member
of the house committee on foreign az
fairs who is in favor of it nor do j
Think il possible to obtain from the
house cosumi1tee any resolution of any
sort at this session. The disposition
of the house committee is to leave the
matter to the incoming administration.
Personally, while I entertain the live
lest sympathy with Cuba. 1 am OPP
posed to the conduct of foreign affairs
by congress-
Mr. Pearson of North Carolina, an
other Republican member of the COM
mittee had no criticism or comment
to make on the action of the senate
committee. The Republican party. he
said, had promised the country pros
perity and the question presented it
self, will war or rumors of war or
apPrehensions of war lead to the
promised result?"
sHAFRoTHs IDEAS.
Mr.. Shafroth, the silver member
fruIn Colorado. expressed surprise at
the action of the senate committee.
Before the election" he said, when
he candidates had yet to appeal to
che people, the Cuban revolution was a
live subject, but now it will be found
that the business interests of New
York must be protected. You viii find
that the New Y DIRK press tomorrow will
denounce the action as threatening the
relations between Spain and the
United States, and dangerous to the
trade between New York and Cuba
Wall street viii not permit the pas
sage of the resolution through the
house. 1t may pass the senate but
that will end the matter"
