After a short career before the foot
lights, "kid'' Mccoy has formally an
nounced that he will no longer shine on
the vaudeville stage. He( says that he
realizes he is not an actor, and that the
public will think more of him if he
engages in actual ring encounters instead
OF issuing cyclonic challenges This
move is calculated to bring back to
Mccoy the many friends who turned
their backs on him when he decided to
follow in the footsteps of other tircsone
actor pngilists. Many persons, familiar
with pugilstic matters believe that
Mccoy has not received good advice
since he polished off Crredon ut Long
Island City. Indeed, the opin-
ion prevails that the theatrical manager
and press agent who wrote most OF the
"kid's' challenges, without hIs knowl-
edge, did SO more for the sake OF adver-
tiscmcnt than for actually arranging
fights for the young pugiist. lis chat

Withstanding " the fact chat he had al ex-

into a grand looking horse. He has
taken on considerable flesh during his

that his hard campaign left no i'll effects.
AlgoI, another candidate, is also at
Montgomery Park. He is treated very
leniently by the handicappcr in the

gain anything like the form he displayed
during his two year-old career the race
would be almost Il gift to him. Judging
from the reports, he has wintercd well

cLAFToN-BULwEE TREATY.
Expectation That Great Britain Will Agree
TO Abrogate 1t.

London. Eng, Dec. 23.-There seems
to be little doubt that Great Britain
will agree to abrogate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. The temper of the
cabinet and public opinion, which
largely influences the governments
policy, points to such action, though
no definite understanding with the
United States has yet been reached.
Great Britain desires that the Mica
ragua Canal be constructed, and is
willing that the United States should
control it, if the United States guaran-
tees its neutrality and safeguards
British interests.
The reports from Washington that
the British Ambassador there, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, has been instructed
to negotiate the abrogation of the
treaty are incorrect, though it is likely
he will soon receive instructions to
that effect
The impression here is that the
British Foreign Office and the United
States Charge d'Affaires, Henry White,
incidental to his visits to cabinet
ministers, will arrange the basis of
action. Mr.. White spent part of the
week with the Marquis of Salisbury,
at Hatfield House, and he goes today,
with his family, to spend Christmas
week with the Duke Of Devonshire, at
Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, the
country seat of the Duke, who is lord
president of, the Council. There, Mr..
White will meet another influential
minister, Lord George Hamilton, the
Secretary of State for India. Anglo
American questions will naturally be
discussed.

Interview With Capt. Hickey. an Attacha

Interview With Capr. Hickey. an Attacha
of tho United states Legation.
New York. Dec. 3d. Capt. J. y.
Hickey. military attache OF the United
States Legation in Peru. arrived here
today, on the Panama Liner Allianca
Speaking of the notification of the
abrogation of tho commercial treaty
between the United States and Peru,
which expires by limitation next
would be followed by new treaty,
one Of the principal features of which
will provide for arbitration Of claims
of citizens of one country against The
other, which will do away with the
friction attending the McCord and
Godfrey claims.
About the secret mission of Com
mander Carlos Ferriros of the Peruvian
navy to France and Spain, Cant.
Hickey said that the report that he
was going to purchase warships was
laughed at in Lima, and that it was
there said, if he made such state
ment at the Isthmus, he was simply
romancing. Capt. Hickey said Peru
is too poor at present to indulge in
luxuries like warships.
Another passenger on the Alliance
was Victor Fridian, who claims To
be an American citizen, and says that
the Peruvian government coniscated
all his property, and that he was COM
PEELED TO fly to save his life. He says
he made his way on sailing ship to
San Francisco, and there found spies
awaiting him. Next, he fled to the
Isthmus, and there became steerage
passenger on the Alliance for New
York. Fridian did not go into the
details of his troubles in Peru.
Capt. Hickey said that he had heard
nothing about Fridian before boarding
the Alliance.

The report of the Board of Education
of New York City for the year ended
July 31st is very interesting. However
small the salaries of individual teachers
may appear, the total amount ex-
pended by the board for the payment
Of teachers is imposing, being no less
than 81, 1897, 1868. 80. 1t is of particular
interest to note the amounts which
were used for the payment of teachers
Of special branches. The teaching of
music cost in salaries the sum of
$37, 136; Of drawing, 1856, 818: of manual
training, S57, 065; of teachers training
class, S21, 1922 of the kindergartens,
s27, O45; of physical training, 81, 943.
The salary expenditures for special
teachers being deducted from the
total, the sum of S6, $50, 400 is left as
the amount spent for the services Of
regular day teachers, and $211 S3o as
that devoted to the payment of night
school teachers and night janitors. For
libraries during the year the board was
able to spend S4S, LAG. For free text
books and for school apparatus s647, 97e
was expended.
The statement shows that large ex-
penditures for schools and school sites
continue, though far less rapidly thar
the needs of the city require. Fol
sites and permanent improvements

buckets of water, but were not making
much progress, when Dunlap rushed
into the cellar and seizing a large
pan threw it over the flames which
were subdued to some extent. Several
large aprons and bags were used and
the fire was extinguished.
The cellars are divided by series
of walls and wooden partitions, and
it would have been the work of but

commoaore 0ownin.hlela,s Report.

The report of Commodore A. S.
Cowninshield, chief of the Bureau of
Navigation and member of the Naval
Strategy Board during the late war,
tells, in an appendix. d number Of
secrets about the war operations. One
of the revelations is that two secret
agents were employed in getting in7
formation of Spanish movements. Ono
was Ensign ii. III. Ward, who at first
made his headquarters at Oadiz and
kept watch on the movements of
Spanish war vessels, later going to. the
West Indies. At San, Juan, Porto
Rico, he was arrested as q spy and
narrowly escaped. The other was En-
sign w. H. Buck, who remained most
of the time in Spain. He followed and
reported the movements of Camara's
squadron, going as far as'Suez. The
report shows that the orders assigning
a squadron to Commodore Watson tn
threaten the coast of Spain was q
bluff suggested by Rear Admiral
Dewey, and proved successful in com
pelling Camara to return. tg, t
