DOWNEY REFUSES TO FIGHT
"Kid" kerwin Takes His Place
Against Billy Scott and Proven
Himself a Wonder.

Kid kerwin was an unknown factor
SO far as the sporting world Of Seattle
was concerned yesterday morning. When
Jack Downey" Of BROOKLYN. or San
Francisco. sent word that he was sick"
and would not be axle 10 fight Billy Scott,
kerw!n said that he would take his place.
The little fellow put up seventeen rounds
Of the prettfest. cteanest and most scier-
f.ic work ever seen In any ring, and not
only won the unqualified admiration of
Scott. but the crowd as well
Scott was awarded the decision In the
seventeenth because kerw:n's stomach
troubled him and his friends thought IL
best for him TO quit The crowd was per-
fectiy satisfied and Kerwin can get back
ing for any amour. OF money in this city
whenever he wants TO fight a man of his
weight.
He is the gamest and cleverest little
fellow ever ran up against" said Scott
last evening. "As FIRST | thought had a
snap. but In the second round ne whipped
his right over on me- and went fiat on my
back, striking my head and cutting IL.
From that time knew that he was an OILS;
hand al the business and played carefully
myself"
Referee william Barton said: IT was as
clean cut A fight as one ever witnessed
There was not one approach 10 a foul.
EVERY instruction was oD@yel 10 the let
Ter. Scott could not put ksrwin out be-
cause he was too clever and kerw!n could
not put Scott out becauS. he could no, hlt
hard enough. Scott was much heavier"
There was not one cut OF the 100 snort
ing men who took in the fight. leaving on
The steamer Idaho. VINO thought Il would
last three rounds. After they saw Ker-
win work few moments they commenced
10 admire him and before night swore by
lin -

DIPPED HER COIORS.
How the Montgomery Saluted the
Spanish Warships.

Havana, via Key West, March 19.-Un-
til Commander Converses explanation
appears it must be considered disagreed
bly, true that the American ship Mont
gomery has violated naval usage in gen
eral and the United States Navy blue
book in particular. 1t seems she dipped
her national colors to the Vizcaya and
Oquendo, and that they merely answered
this unprecedented salute.
The American naval regulations say:
mo ship of the Navy shall lower her
sails or dip her ensign unless III return
for such compliment In fact, on 10 Oc-
casion is a man-of-war supposed to lower
the colors, except as a signal of surren-
der in battle. The Montgomery action
is unaccountable.
American officers here say that the
adept Captain Converse could not possi-
bly, have known about it, even though he
could not fail to see the ViZcaya's and
OQUendo's flag Salutes in passing. 1t is
argued that Captain Converse might
have thought the Spaniards saluted first.
not having seen some stupid quartermaS-
ter raising and lowering the American
colors on the Fern. The most important
American officers here were seated. They
saw the Montsomery's ensign dipping.
One exclaimed:
MY God. what's that ship doing,'
Both Admiral Manterola and Captain Eu-
late, of the ViZcaya saw the American
ensign dipped three times to the Vizcaya.
She had hardly finished answering when
the Montgomery dipped again three times
to the OQuendo. The cruiser was passing
so fast that her dipping was practically
continuous. The Spanish Admiral ap-
peared very much pleased and said:
1--WE consider it very great compli-
ment."
Yesterday a most thoughtful action
was discovered On Tuesday a beautiful
wreath of flowers was placed upon the
graves of Maine dead in Colon Cemetery
by the officers of the Austrian training
ship Donau. The mounds of earth bear
their flowers and siX-foot streamers of
red and white ribbons bearing the words
"Our unfortunate comrades of the
Maine" The Donau was at New Orleans
when the Maine disaster occurred. Her
captain Immediately half-masted his col
ors, and now most gracefully finishes the
act of honor by this floral touch of SYM
pathy.

wig Ritter Won Hohnel, Lieutenant-Com
mander Baron WetZler Won Plankerstern.
Lieutenant Ritter Won Thierry, the chief
engineer, the paymaster, two Junior lieu
tenants, four midshipmen and four SAIL
ors in fatigue uniform, left the Ship

wreath on the graves of their comrades

officers and men of the Austrian warship

THE ERIE CANAL
New York Chamber of Commerce
Gives A Hea ring on the Pavey Bill.

New York, March 1}-There was a hear
ing before the Committee on Internal
Trade and Improvement of the Chamber
Of Commerce yesterday afternoon, on the
Pavey bill providing authority for the
transfer OF the Erie Canal from the State
to the Federal Government
State Senator Pavey addressed the COM
mittee. lie explained his bill and then
said he doubted whether the present leg
islature intended to act upon the resolu-
ton to provide for an appropriation OF an
additional s.. 900 900 for improvements 10
the Erie Canal, and added that he be
licyed that appropriation would have to
be made by the State in 1900. whether his
amendment should be adopted or not.
George S. Morrison, past president Of the
American Society Of Civil Engineers. IA
yored the bill He said New York could
hope to regain her lost commerce only by
getting low freight rates. BY converting
the Erie Canal into barge canal. ne
said the cost in transportation of grain
between Chicago and New York would be
greatly reduced.
He added that a barge canal would cost
about s5O.0J0.UO0. a 20-foot ship canal about
500. 900 Coz and a 30-foot ship canal about
500. .O0OC00. the latter involving the deep
enluE of several rivers and harbors.
Professor William II. Burr. of Column
bia College Gustav II. SChwab and 9TH
ers spoke in favor of the bill.
Ahrarn 8. Hewitt was the principal
speaker in opposition To the measure. He
said. that while the present canal did not
have much practical value. New York
could not expect other States to be inter
ested in improving IL.
1T rests with the State of New York
TO maintain her supremacy in the Union,
he said IF this State wants 10 maintain
her position let her take off her heavy
wharfage charges.
He said in conclusion: IF the chamber
of commerce gives its assent to this bin
il will be untrue to its prestige and na-
tional character. ! have had twelve
years experience in Congress and say
that the Congress of the United States
will not and cannot give justice, so far as
legislation is concerned, TO the State of
New York"
After hearing the arguments the COM
mittee resolved to prepare a report to
submit to the Chamber of Commerce at
a special meeting 10 be held next Thurs
day.
