Coy is a Heavyweight.

New York, Jan IA 81, coo check has
been deposited at the office of the Jour
nal for a contest between Joe Walcott
the black wonder, and kid" Mccoy,

pionship of the United States. The
check was drawn by Tom O'Rourl0e,
manager of Walcott, and the conditions
are that the fight must be made at the
niddIeweight limit. 158 pounds.
O'ROurke said:
I'VE will fight Mccoy in six weeks
and be glad to do it. We don't care
where the fight comes off, nor when it
comes off, but we prefer that it be in
side of six weeks rather than inside of
six months. Mccoy is no more mid
dleweight than Corbett or Fitzsim-
mons. He is a heavyweight and be-
longs to that class, but Walcott will
fight him and whip him"

COURT STENOGRAPHERS.
Attorney General Boyle is Asked to
Decide About Their Pay.

The legislature last winter passed law
providing that stenographers of district
courts should received $3.50 per annum for
their services. Existing statutes pre-
scribe that each county is entitled to a
district court. This being true it is claim
ed by some attorneys that where there is
more than one county in a judicial dis
trict, under the new law, each county is
entitled to stenographer.
The peculiar construction of the two
laws has caused some lawyers to believe
that where one stenographer does the
work of the entire district he is entitled
to $50 per year from each county. This
raises the question whether a judicial dis
trict Is the same as a district court. John
H. Atwood and Charles Hayden have
asked Attorney General Boyle to write an
opinion on the subject

on santiago, July 4.-On the return OF
the United States cruiser Brooklyn 90 the
blockade OF Santiago on the evening OF
July 3 the Iowa reported 10 Commodore
Schley that Admiral Ceryera, Of the Span
ish fleet, was on board. Commodore Schley
at once went over 10 pay his respects.
The Spanish admiral was much cast
down by the defeat, but preserved dig
.ni1ed, courteous demesnOr. He said that
he deeply appreciated the fact that the
men Of the Brooklyn did not exult by
choaring when IL was learned that he
was prisoner on the Iowa. He replied
In response 90 the cOmmOdOre's remark
that it was the fortune OF war: "Hes, but
I've lost my career now that I've been
defeated"
Schley, however, told him that such a
brave deed as that OF bringing out his
squadron could never be looked upon
otherwise than az q most gallant feat,
upon which Ceryera threw his arms
around the commodore and said: "Ahl
sailors always are gentlemenW He then
said he thought his dead would number
probably 150. lie spoke Of the accuracy
and desdliness Of the BrOoklyn's tlre, say
ing that in the early part OF the action
one OF her shells trayeTsed the entire
length Of his gun deck, killing and
wounding probably eighty men. On the
Nizcaya alone ll0 men were killed Ger
vera said that ne feared the losses might
be greater than he anticipated, for many
men were below the protective deck and
when the ships we're ON fire Il must have
been dinlcult for them TO escape. He
added that all his captains were killed
or wounded, hut later it was found that
the captain Of the CTistObal Colon was
saved. CeryerR also said that he had
no doubt that at least three Of the ships
would have gotten away had II not been
for the Brooklyn, oregon and Texas
