 stated, and other rules appear to need amendments. l. is probable that two changes to be made by the LenoX A. c.
 will cover the referees authority to
 rule on bets and also the action Of sec
 onds in jumping into the ring. The officials believe that a referee should re- ceive power to declare off bets if, in hls 1 judgment, a fighter is implicated in a
 job. This should be done, they say, to
 protect the public. As far as the vio- lation of the rules by seconds goes, the
 club believes that new rule must be framed to the effect that when a second jumps into the ring, no matter from what motive, he shall be elected and permanently barred from the club, while the fighters are ordered to pro- ceed
 Until we frame our new rules,'' said one of the managers yesterday, i've will station representatives of the club in the corners of the fighters, and they will prevent, by force if necessary. sec Onds from getting into the ring except at tho proper time. The rules must be amended, and the Lenox club will take the first step. Men who wish to box in our arena will have to accept our rules or stay out. Tkere is no reason why we should not get up a revised code, such as governs the contests in the National Sporting club of London. !"

 Stories are in circulation of many wagers on the big battle that were eith- CT paid before the referee declared all bets off or those making them on Cor bett leaving before they heard the an nouncement. Tony Pastor is said to be looking for a man who posted $500 with him and could not be found after the fight. It appears that local sport ing man named Kelly, who sat beside Pastor at the fight, offered to bet $2, 900 to s1,0O0 on Sharkey in the second round just after Corbett had been knocked down.
 I'll take that bet remarked a quiet looking fellow on the other side of Pastor Kelly pulled his money out and handed $2,000 to Pastor, who re- fused to hold it.
 II only put up SoOO against Sl,OOO, said the quiet man, "as that is all I can risk"
 All right retorted Kelly, as he took out card. Whats your name?"

Klly wrote the bet out with the names and conditions on the card and handed all the money to Pastor, who finally consented to hold it.

CUTTING DOWN FEES
Comptroller Dawes Will Consolidate ReceiVerShipS for National Banks.

Washington, Dec. s. (SpeciaL)- Comptroller Dawes is putting into practice his new policy of consoli- dating receiverships for national banks. His idea is that by cutting down fees of receivers and making one man do the work of two or three he will put a sop to the system and save money for depositors and stockholders.
 In speaking about the plan, MT. Dawes said he proposed hereafter, so soon as the affairs of a failed DationaI bank had reached point where the active services of a receiver are not required, to cut off expenses by con solidating receiverships.
 These receivers hang on for years, said the comptroller, and none of them has ever been known to resign. Dur ing the latter stages of the receivership little or no work is required, but the fees go on, and this is the business he proposes to stop.
 In some cases this business of foster ing receivership fees has been stopped vigorously. MT. Dawes called atten- tion to the work of former Congress- man 4 rank Aldrich of Chicago, now receiver of eighteen national banks, all of whose affairs are approaching final settlement Mir Aldrirh was called to Washington and given quarters in the treasury, from Svhich he superintends the work. Of course he receives more than an ordinary receiver for one bank, but the total is much less thaI: would be charged to the account of the depositors if a receiver were in charge of each bank. There are many na- tional banks in the hands of receivers wnere the business is almost wound up, and in a few days several resigna- tions will be called for.

MACEO'S DAY
Excitement Among Cubans Attended
 Its Celebration.

Santiago de Cuba Dec. S.-The Gu bans are greatly excited over yester- days proceedings, resulting from the commemoration Of the death of An tonio Maceo, particularly at the fact that bullets reached the camp of the fifty immunes, which proves the shots were not fired by the Cubans who fired volleys in the air from the public square here. It now seems the bull lets which struck the tents of the i'm munes came from a different party of insurgents near the trocha, who were also celebrating.
 Col. Beacon, the American acting military commander here, accompanied by the chief of police, personally ar rested Juan Costillo this morning. He is a captain in the Cuban army and was the man who led two negro companions into club Col. Costillo, who is well connected, objected to going to jail and offered his card instead. Col. Beacon, however, was obdurate.

The officials OF the department hope
there will be no trouble with the in
surgent forces in the Philippines. al
though the dispatches which have been
received and published in the press, to-
gether with the demand OF Aguinaldo

temper on the part OF the insurgent
leaders which Is not satisfactory.
The text OF the presidents order can
not be misunderstood. and the insur-
gents will be kept out OF Manila and
the city, bay and harbor will be held as
an American possession. The pos
sibility of an attack on the city by the

make a stand when some one gave the
command to retreat.
Run, boys; they're a thousand to
one!" came the command as the men
were preparing to make a brave resist
ance against their as yet invisible foe.
1t is alleged that Capt. Biddle gave
that command. Had this panicky
alarm not been given, and had not the
men seen their commanding officer run
ming with his back to the fire, they
would have stood their ground and
fought Just as bravely as they did when
they received their baptism of fire at
Guayama-
Capt. Biddle, IL is alleged, was found
hiding in a cuivert under the roadway.
After Gen. Hams and members of
the staff heard of the attack they start
ed for the front TO rally the demoral-
lied skirmishers. Gen. Hams and his
staff officers blocked the flight and
shamed the flying soldiers into turning
toward the foe. But as they turned
they said:
.it is not our fault; we were ordered
to retreat
Capt. Biddle when brought before
Gen. Hams and asked for an explana-
ton said:
II dfd not order retreat; the flight
was all the fault of a newspaper cor
respondent whom the men mistook for
an officer He shouted: Run, boys;
the Spanish are attacking u.s..
Not only did Capt. Biddle say that a
correspondent had ordered the retreat,
but he named the correspondent. AS 1t
happened, the newspaper man whom
Capt. Biddle accused had been talking
with Gen. Hams in his headquarters at
Arroyo when the attack took place.
Gen. Hams remembered this. The cor
respondent had ridden out with Gen.
Hams IN helm rally the flying Ohioans.
The accusation had scarcely passed the
lips OF Capt. Biddle when the order
came:
"Place that man under arrest"
Capt. Biddle was taken back to Ar
royo. where he is still awaiting trial.

Had the captain of Company c not

where the attack took place, but the

probably had much to do with Capt.

Rev. Mr.. Jones Charged With As
saulting Servant.
Trouble Followed Payment OF Two
Cents For Newspaper.

New York, Aug. 1S.--Whatever was
the truth of it, the Rev. Henry Dixon
Jones, rector of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church of the Intercession, l62d
street and the Boulevard, was arrested
yesterday at Ocean Grove on charge
OF, beating his servant girl. Ada Hume
lin. a young Swede. He is quite well
known in Harlem church circles and
lives at 439 162d street. The young
woman had been IA months In his en-
ploy.
"The trouble grew out Of my paying
two cents for morning newspaper,
said the young woman when the clergy
man was arraigned In court. Il asked
for the money to pay for IL, and he said
was lying and asking for too much.
I was afraid OF him and started TO go
down stairs, but ! tripped and fell to
the bottom. Mr.. Jones hurried down.
stairs after me and kicked and struck
me. / struggled with him and at last
got away. Then / jumped out OF the
window on the ground floor and es-
capped"
The young woman's screams attract
ed a crowd of 500 persons to- the front
of the Rev. Mr.. Jones cottage. On
complaint of the servant he was ar
rested. He absolutely denied the
charge.
II merely upbraided the girl" said
the clergyman TO Justice Patterson.
'.She raised her hands TO strike me,
and all I did was TO seize hold OF her
wrists I'm self defence. l did not strike.
I deny this charge emphatically. The
neighbors put her up TO screaming.
They are angry with me because l have
protested against their drying their
weekly wash I'm my back lot"
The Rev. Mr.. Jones waived a hearing
and was held in $1,000 BAIL He wanted
10 make a counter-charge OF assault
against the young woman but Justice
Patterson declined TO entertain II. The
case will now come up for action by
the grand jury. Meanwhile the clergy
man will be out on bail.

the news OF the trouble. The Rev. Mr..
Jones is one OF it's best known summer
cottagers He has been spending the
season there for many years. His
friends declare that the servants
charges are preposterous and that he
will be fully vindicated when the time
comes. This religious resort hasn't
