A DRAWN FIGHT.
Police Interfere In the Contest Be.
tween Sharkey and Maher.
SMITH is l0WAS CHAMPION SHOT.
Prof. Barnard Has an Accident to His AR
ship, but Lands safely--A Trains
Quick Run from Denver, Col,
to Ellis, Kan.

New YORK, June 1O.-Peter Maher
and Tom Sharkey fought last night at
the Palace Athletic club for $4,000
purse. At the end Of the seventh
round the police interfered and the
contest resulted in most unsatisfac.
tory draw, the relative merits of the
men being as much a puzzle as ever.
There were about 10000 persons
squeezed into the big building. The
boxing was very tame for five rounds,
neither man showing mark. In the
sixth round Sharkey, with well-di-
rected straight right on the mouth
sent Peter sprawling half way through
the ropes, where he struggled for
five seconds before he regained his
feet. The seventh round was nearly
completed, when Maher, after get.
ting in some good blows on Shar-
key, sent the latter to the floor near
the ropes with "A left in the wind
and a right swing on the jaw. Tom
was up again inside of five seconds and
rushed into clinch. In this clinch
Maher kept working his right on the
body, and when the gong sounded
neither needed the warning of the
time-keeper, but kept on hitting each
other. One of Makers seconds rushed
over and grabbed Maher. While he
was trying to pull the big fellow away
Sharkey swung his right on the Sec
onds face, dazing him.
BY this time the house was in an up
roar and there were cries of "foul"
from the partisans Of both men. The
din was terrible, but was increased ten
fold when Inspector Mclaughlin or
dered the police to arrest all those con-
cerned in the fight Policemen in uni
form swarmed into the ring and
number of detectives also climbed
through the ropes. The principals
were the first to be placed under ar
rest, and then the seconds and referee
were told to accompany the officers.
While all this was going on thousands
of spectators were clamoring for de-
cision from the referee, who was busily
engaged arguing with the officers who
surrounded him. Finally it was made
known that Referee Colville had de-
cided to call the bout draw"

THE report OF the committee on con-
tingent expenses, against Senator TIL
mans resolution for an investigation
OF the charges that senators had been
speculating In sugar stock since the
tariff bill had been under consideration,
attracted very little sttention, because
il was known that 1t would be against
the resolution ever since the Repubh-
can caucas decided an investigation 70
be inadvisable. The report argues
against an investigation because other
Investigations have been barren Of re
