PETE AND TOM
Will Try to Batter Each Other to q
Finish

NEW YORK, June 24.-Peter Maher,
the heavyweight champion pugilist of
Ireland, and Tom Sharkey, the "sailor
lad of San Francisco" who also halls
from the Emerald isle,wer matched to-
day to fight to a finish. Buck Connolly
of Pittsburg, representing Maher, and
Dan Lynch of San Francisco, who is
Sharkey's. manager, met at the Police
Gazette office at noon, where articles of
agreement was drawn. The terms of the
agreement are that the men shall fight
to finish before the club or individuals
offering the biggest inducement and for
side bet of $5000 Both representatives
of the fighters deposited $250O each to
bind the match. Richard X. Fox was
made temporary stakeholder and on
August another deposit of s2500 from
each will be paid down in this city,
making the full amountof $4,000 a side.
The final stakeholder will be AL Smith.
The referee is to be mutually agreed
upon.
There was question raised by Con-
molly as to the location of the fight,
and he said that his man Maher would
fight at any place in the world except
San Francisco, as a finish fight is pro-
hibited in California.
Lynch assured Connolly that he would
not entertain any proposition given by
any club in California. This suited the
Pittsburger, and the managers, accom-
panied by Sam C. Austin, went across
to Jersey City, where they signed the
articles.
The articles call for the bout to take
place within three months after the Sec
ond and final deposit is made, on Au-

to impart Information concerning any
connection that the anarchists may
have had with the holocaust. Mr.. LIE
Faivre, the first secretary of the en-
bassy, said tonight that there had been
no communication received from his gov
ernment looking to the apprehension OF
the alleged leaders of the outrage. who,
1t is said. have fled to America. This,
he thinks, would have been the case had
1t been believed such persons were en-
gagged In the affair and had fled to this
country. Mr.. lie Faivre was in Paris
at the time Of the disaster and remained
there for several days. Immediately
afterwards there were intimations in
some of the newspapers attrlbuting the
catastrophe to anarchistic sources. but
publications OF that character soon
ceased. Newspapers that have since
come to hand conveyed the impression
that the opinion that anarchists had
been at the bottom of the affair was in
consistent with the real facts In the
case. which, according to investigations,
showed that the fire was due to accident.

flnally It was adopted as reported, omit
ting 'Skirted,, in designating unwashee
wool.
On paragraph 1856. blankets and fan
nels. formal changes were made In ac'
cordance with the previous notice ol
Allison.
In paragraph SeS, women's and chill
dren's dress goods, cotton warp. the
rates were changed to 6h cents per
square yard on goods valued at not
more than Is cents yard and IN cents
ON those valued at above Is cents yard
and 30 per cent ad valorem.
In paragraph 367, women's and chill
dren's dress goods, wholly or in part
wool, the rate was increased from
cents to 101a cents per yard and 50 per
cent ad valorem.
Gray remarked that these heavy
rates demanded an explanation, to
which Allison stated that they were
due first to the compensation required
by the increased duty on raw wool, and,
second, to the desire to encourage Amer
lean Industries at the expense of the
foreign makers.
Gray exhibited samples of Hen
riettas serges and other women's dress
r,oods, pointing out that the cost on some
would be advanced from 25 to 81 cents
q yard, others from 10 to 20 cents yard,
ett,, or from 81 to 81 on every ordinary
house dress.
Warren Of Wyoming announced that
Yam kee ingenuity could produce the
goods exhibited by Mr.. Gray quite as
we'll as the foreign factory and that COM
petition among the American manufac-
turels would keep down the price to the
consumer. He also spoke of the decrease
in the number Of sheep under the Wilson
bill
"Lf the American people submit to
these outrageous rates at the polls" re-
sponded Gray, "then there are more
sheep in the United States than sus-
pect."
In para,vraph 1868, ready-made cloth

Guiding "felts not wove," was restored.
The rate of duty was changed from
~ to 4 times the duty on unwashed

mile carpets. the specific rate was
changed from so to 621a cents per square
yard and the ad valorem left at 40 per

The bill was then laid aside, paragraph
$40 having been completed.

POUGHKEEPsIE, N. T.. June "a
Tomorrow is the big varsity day and the
town tonight is taking on a gala ap-
pearance. The crowds are beginning to
arrive and tomorrow will see the place
crowded to overflowing. The wind was
from the west all the afternoon and the
wiseacres in weather matters predict
that it will rain either tonight or to-
morrow.
The plan now is to call the race at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and have 1t
rowed down stream over the four mile
course. II the weather is bad or the
water in poor condition the race, be-
cause of the change of tide will have to
be rowed after 6:45 p. m. UP stream
necessitating an entire change of stake
and judges boats and the anchorage Of
the fleet of yachts.
1t is called to mind that this Is the
first time since 1875 that Yale has met
Cornell and the first time in two years
that she has crossed blades with Har-
ward.
Coach Cook took the blue varsity
eight tonight and gave it a final polish
ing up. The rough corners on the indi-
vidual work of the members Of the crew
were knocked off this morning in
painstaking half hour Of work.
Yale's practice tonight was not an ex-
tended one and after the general work
several starts were tried before the she'll
was put in. The mems condition is all
that could be desired.
It was half past when the water had
become smooth enough in the neighbor-
hood Of the Cornell boat house for the
crews to get out. Courtney sent them
on an exercise row Of a mile and half
down the river. Returning to the boat
house the "shortcake" crew gave the
varsity eight brush, but was badly
beaten.
Representatives of Yale, Harvard and
Cornell met with Referee Meikleheim at
the Nelson house tonight to draw posi-
tions for the race. Yale drew course No.
1, which Is nearest the west bank; Har-
ward No. and Cornell No. 8 on the
outer course. 1t will be seen that by this
drawing the positions of Yale and Cor
nell are exactly reversed from what
they were in the freshmen race, and the
slight advantage in the way of tide
which Yale was supposed to have in that
race now belongs to Harvard.

IN CAUCUS
Committee Rates on Hides to Be
Sustained

WASHINGTON, June 24-The Repub-
1ican senators decided in caucus tonight
by a vote of % to H. to sustain the ac-
ton Of the finance committee in placing
a duty upon hides, but did not pass upon
the question of the amount Of the duty
to be imposed.
The committee was also sustained ir
the rate fixed upon imported wrapper
tobacco. The only other disputed ques-
tions considered were watches and
watch Jewels, and upon these the finance
committee was reversed, the house rates
being accepted on watches, and watch
jewels being made free.
The caucus was held in the marble
room of the senate, and was we'll at
tended.
While the discussion was spirited at
times. the meeting was without especial
interest. The greater part of the time
was given to the proposition to fix a
duty on hides. Senator Lodge led the
contest against the action of the finance
committee in taking hides from the free
list, and was seconded by Senators Hoar,
Platt, Spooner and others, while Sena-
tors Nelson. Allison, Warren and Gear
spoke in favor of the duty.
:, Mr.. Lodge contended that the duty, If
/ imposed, would not be of any conse-
: uuence as a revenue item, and that it
would add nothing to the farmers re-
turn on his cattle, while it would have
the effect OF greatly injuring the indus
try of leather manufacture, which had
grown to immense proportions under the
system of free hides. He said imports
of leather goods amounted to 100000 900
per annum, and asserted that if a stiff
duty should be imposed the industry
would be greatly checked.
In reply the western senators claimed
a direct benefit to the farmer from the
duty, and asserted that he was as much
entitled to the protection it would give
as were the manufacturers to the as
sistance they would receive from other
duties.
The vote was on the general PROPOSE
tion to impose a duty without regard
to rates. The fixing of these, it was
understood, should be left to the finance
committee, but the expressions were so
general in favor Of the ad valorem rather
than the specific system that the COM
mittee will probably feel itself instruct
ed to substitute this system for the lie
cents pound, the rate originally agreed
upon. There was also a general ex-
preston against any increase upon India
tanned goat and sheep skins, which the
manufacturers regard as a substantial
victory. There was only one vote raised
in opposition to return to the, house
schedule on watches, and in addition to
admit watch jewels free Of duty. 1t is
to this compound system that the senate
returns.
The questions of reciprocity, trusts,
Hawaiian sugar beer, tea and internal
revenue were not discussed

An air of gloom pervaded the House
today, owing to the sudden death Of Mr..
Cooke. who was very popular with his
colleagues The desk which he had oc-
cupied on the extreme right of the hall
was draped in mourning and covered
with white roses and magnolia blossoms.

ferred feelingly to Cookies death as
public calamity.
The Speaker announced the reception
of an invitation from the present Bel
gian Chamber Of Deputies to members

Congressman Foss of Illinois. on be-
half Of the delegation, announced the
death Of Mr. Cooke and gave notice that
at some future time he would ask the
House to pay tribute to the character
and public services of Mr.. Cooke. The
customary resolutions were adopted and
a committee to attend the funeral ap-
pointed. Then, as further mark Of re-
spect to the memory of the deceased, the
House adjourned until Monday.

Adjournment Had in Honor Of Con-
gressman Cooke

WASHINGTON, June 24-Congress-
man Edward Dean Cooke was found
dead In his room at the Cochrane Hotel
this morning, presumably Of heart dis
ease. Cooke retired about II o'clock last
night, apparently in perfect health. At
2 this morning the night clerk of the
Cochrane called at his room and found
him suffering from nausea but he soon
recovered and declined to have physi-

was summoned said that Cooke had ap-
parently been dead several hours.
Cooke was a native of Iowa and was
As years old. He was educated in the
public schools of Dubuque, and later
graduated from the Columbian Univer-
sity Law School, Washington, and was
admitted to the bar. In 1882 he was
