ALL MONEY IS ACCOUNTED FOR Elder WiShart'S Nam e Used by Some One

 Rev. Edwards Davis Is not without friends. Although much has been said and published about the ex-pastor of the Central Christian Church, there is one man who does not intend that more shall be said about him than he deserves.
 James W. Wishart declares that some of the reports given out last Sunday by in terested parties regarding the incidents of the meeting at the elders house and also at the church are highly colored in some respects. Mir. Wishart wishes 1t dis tinctly understood that, whatever faults Rev. MT. Davis may possess, he has no differences with the church regarding finances.
 To-day Elder Wishart made public the following statement:
 1T wish to correct a very serious charge which has appeared in print regarding Rev. Edwards Davis. former pastor of The statement I refer to Is as follows:
 On Friday evening last a meeting of the officers of the church was held at the home of Elder James M. Wishart, who The elders and deacons found there had been a large amount of money paid into the church during the time Davis was pastor, for which no account was given. The total amounted to quite a sum-
 "In the first place. the financial part of the church was not named at the above Ll6tuIS, HOT were GIly money discussed in connection with MT. Davis. Second, as an elder of the church I do not know Of any money having been paid to Rev MT. Davis for church purposes but report of the finances of the church was made at or near the close of Rev. MT Davis pastorate, which was passed upon and approved by the church. Fourth. the books that were kept by Rev. Mir. Davis secretaries for the past three years can be seen at any time and examined if need be.
 'I make this statement in order to give the public to understand that the party which so unkindly accused Rev. Mir, Davis of the appropriation of funds under my name had no business to do so
 However. I am free to admit that Rev. Edwards Davis, as a young man. has his faults, which I pray he will, by the grace of God, be able to overcome, in order that his power as a preacher, which Is hard to equal, may be turned to the honor and glory of our Lord.
 JAMES M. WISHART."

 The Young Mems Republican Club of ehe Seventh Ward has lost its original bylaws and constitution. The losing If a few pages of manuscript does not ap- pear to be very momentous affair, but fin this particular instance it is of some Interest. Two years ago, when the club was organized. bylaws were passed and there are a few who think that under the original constitution the club is for bidden to indorSe any candidate before the convention Recently the Seventh Ward Young Mems Republican Club in- dorsed Dr. Pardee as its candidate for the nomination for Governor. This action was said to be unanimous, but some one has raised the question that under the bylaws the club cannot become per sonal organization, but stands for Repub- Hcanism and Republican candidates only. The point. however, cannot be settled, because the bylaws are lost. It Is sup posed that Dick Aver or Turn Sudden was keeper of the records. but neither Is able to produce them at this time.
 tee will meet in Attorney Dodge's office and frame new bylaws which will un doubtedly be ratified by a large major 1ty of the club, if not unanimously, as the Seventh Ward Is admittedly Par nee stronghold.

Davis. and he also travelled over the State in the interest of the Republican national candidates III the last general campaign. On the even ing of the convention day the State com ntttee has announced that there will be a mass meeting, at which addresses Will be made by speakers of national repute. This is considered by the respective gub- ernatorfal factions in this county as be- ing sort of challenge as to who of all the orators in the State are worthy of being classed as speakers of national rep fer to his record and will do their best to have his name on the programme. The friends of Dr. Pardee are also anxious being hardly expected that any two speakers will be chosen from one county.

908 Broadway, May 3.
 A very lively boxing programme is mapped out by the Reliance Club for to- morrow evening The feature of the en- tertainment will be a three-round spar ring contest between Jeffries and Stelz- ner Although there is no prospect that this event will witness a knockout, a promise has been given that the set-to shall be sufficiently lively to make it in- teresting This will be the last appear ance of Jeffries before his great fight with Sharkey and there will be large contin- gent from San Francisco to size up their man.
 Jeffries has done most of his training at the Reliance Club, and his appearance tomorrow night is for the purpose of add ing to the interest in the wheelmen' 8 benefit.
 There will be three preliminaries. after which Kid McFadden of the Manhattan the San Francisco Athletic Club will con- test for eight rounds, each to weigh 115 pounds.
 Phil Green, the local whirlwind, who surprised the sports a month ago by his peculiar methods, will meet Billy Lewis of Vallejo for eight rounds. On his last ap- pearance Green showed that he was as much of an acrobat as a boxer, and con- siderable of both, and the match is creat- ing much interest because there has been a general desire to see him again in the ring. Both men will weigh in at 15O pounds.
 The new plan of appointing two judges as well as the referee will be carried out at these contests.
 Lon Agnew the local boxer, and Mike Mccormick have been matched to box ten rounds before the Oakland Athletic Club on the 12th of this month. This Is the first time for several years that a contest has been arranged for ten rounds, eight hav- ing been the limit granted the club. It has been generally conceded that all the could have been avoided had the contest ants been permitted to stay in the ring ten rounds, as eight Is rather too little to try out two good men suficiently to give popular and just decision.

The departure of Spanish troops
from Cuba for Spain continues. though
at very slow pace. But if there was
any thought on the part of Spain of
renewal of the war the evacuation
would be discontinued. But renewal
of the war is preposterous. No one
knows that better than Sagasta, who
has to borrow. money from the bank
of Spain to pay the current expenses
of the government. And the bank of
Spain gets the money by initiating its
already over-inflated stock of paper
money. Any talk of renewing the war
under such circumstances is comical.
1t is a kind of bluff that would not
deceive a child.
