MCCOY KNOCKED DOWN.
Billy stift Not So Easy as Anticipated

Billy Stiff Not So Easy as Anticipated-
St Louis, NO. Oct. 27-The initial
boxing tournament of the West End
Athletic club was held tonight at it's
new quarters in the mammoth Colise-
UNI. The bright particular star of the
night was kid" Mccoy, who appeared
with Billy Stiff of Chicago, as oppon-
ent. 1t was figured that McCoy's form
in his fight tonight would largely form
ulate public opinion in reference to his
chances with Peter Maher, and, as a
consequence, 1000 sport lovers were in
attendance.
Mccoy had the advantage of Stiff in
height and reach, but in weight the
latter was favored by several pounds.
For the first half dozen rounds, Stiff
appeared in great awe of his opponent
and remained on the defensive. AS a
matter of fact, Mccoy was able to draw
him out only few times during the 10
rounds of the fight. Stiff showed that
he was a fighter and several times had
the kid" in a ticklish position.
In the 18th Mccoy took the benefit of
the count, owing to a collision and fall,
and again in the twelfth, when the Chi
cago boy put him down with a terrific
right hand punch in the back of the
neck. The kid recuperated quickly
in each instance and continued to force
the fighting

RATIFICATION RALLY.
Robert Treat Paine and Geor Fred
Williams Speak.

Boston, Oct 27-Historic Faneuil
hall, with it's interior looking unfamiliar
through many changes, once again
held an enthusiastic crowd of citizens
tonight, when the democratic
state committee officially ratified the
ticket placed in nomination by the
partys convention.
Hon. James A. McGeough of Boston
acted as chairman of the evening. The
first speaker was the party's nominee
for governor, Robert Treat Paine Jr.,
who was received with great enthusi-
asm.
The introduction of Hon. Thomas j F.
Gargan of Boston brought forth a round
of applause.
Hon. j. Morrison of Lowell, nominee
for attorney general, and E. Gerry
Brown of Brockton, nominee for state
auditor, each spoke briefly.
George Fred Williams was present
on the platform, and was presented to
the audience. Mr.. Williams confined
his remarks briefly to the morals of the
two great wars now drawing the at
tention of the world, that in South At
RIGA ana that of Americans in the Phil
ippines. He characterized both as
being identical in purpose, great and
strong nations invading weak ones,
both, he said, without regard for the
sacred principles of liberty.

WIRELESS TEST.
Sienor Marooni Exhibits His System
To Naval Board.


New York, Oct. 27.-The navy de-
partment continued it's tests of the Mar
conf system of wireless telegraphy to-
day. The demonstrations are being
made on the flagship New York and
the batleship Massachusetts in the
North river, off the foot of Thirty
fourth street
The ships lay AS yards apart, and the
demonstration was one of speed and ac-
curacy. Code messages, using both the
navy and the International Morse codes,
were sent, besides numbers and letters
selected at random. The largest con-
tinuous message was a newspaper ar
ticle of 200 words. In all there were six
demonstrations, and the work continued
with intervals of about two hours
Signor Marconi does not know wheth-
er these preliminary tests will be con-
tinued Saturday, but it is expected that
Monday the New York and Massachu-
sets will cruise off Sandy Hook in or
der to make long distance test of the
system. At times the vessels will be
40 miles from on another, and this will
be the crucial demonstration. If sue
cessful, it win prove how valuable the
system would be during a naval en-
gagement. or while fleet is blockading
an enemy's coast. During the long dis
lance tests the great guns of the war
ships VIII be discharged as a further
test
Admiral Farquhar watched the dem

ATTACK FRIENDLIES.
Beers Threaten Tribes That
Side With Eng
land.

Cape Town, Oct. 27.-A telegram from
Bulawayo, Rhodesia, dated Monday,
says: "a Boer force is threatening
Chief Khama and Chief Linchwe, who
are loyal to Great Britain. Khama
and Linchwe are at the extreme north
west of the Transvaal, and include
Bechunaland. The probable explana-
ton is that the Boer force intends to
destroy the railway to Bulawayo, which
runs through Khama's country, and
thus prevent any attempt Of Col. Plum
mer's Rhodesian forces to go to the
relief of Mafeking. Already there have
been stories of a Rhodesian armored
train engaging the Beers some distance
north Of Mafeking."
According to further advices from
Kimberly, the Beers removed their
killed and wounded in carts. No re-
liable estimate of their losses has been
made. Mr.. Rhodes rode out and
watched the fight. The townspeople
including the women, mounted the
trenches, watching eagerly for the re-
turn of the troops. Mr.. Rhodes is
cheerful and gives dinner parties dali
ly at which luxuries are abundant.

GIFT WAS FORCED.
Cornelius Jr. Made a
Threat of Con-
testing.
COSTLY SUIT SAVED.
Young Man Heartbroken
at His Fathers
Resentment.
COSTLY SUIT SAVED.

New York, Oct 27.-The Tribune tomor-
row will say: The provisions of the will
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, which were made
public yesterday, excited intense interest.
From certain remarks it appears that
this settlement alone, effected after long
discussion, prevented a contest that
might have resulted in one of the great
est and costliest will litigations known.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., when he learned
the provisions of his fathers will, placed
his interests in the hands of Carter and
Ledyard. They conducted negotiations
with Henry B. Anderson, the attorney of
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. Cornelius
Vanderbilt was at the Grand Central sta
ton yesterday Alfred was at Newport.
When Cornelius was seen he dismissed
the subject briefly by saying:
Whatever arrangement may have been
made was effected through my attorneys,
Carter and Ledyard. 1 have no comment
to make upon the settlement. 1t was a
family arrangement and not a gift
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., is much dis
appointed by his fathers will and the at
titude in which he has been placed by his
brothers handsome concession. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, Jr is liked by those who
know him most intimately He took his
disagreement with his father much to
heart, and after his marriage tried in
every way to overcome the difference
He entered the office of the superintend-
ent of motive power of the New York
Central and went to work to prove his
merit. He toiled early and late. He
never asked more than any other en-
ploye. He invented a locomotive which
was successful. He did everything he
could to prove to his father his serious
intentions. He never complained and
never allowed an opportunity to pass
without trying to secure a re-establish-
ment of the former cordial relation be-
tween himself and father. The two men
did not discuss the subject but for hours
father and son talked cordially at the
Breakers in Newport, and also in this
city
The young son of Cornelius. Jr, was
often taken to the Breakers, and Mr..
Vanderbilt manifested a keen enjoyment
in seeing his grandson. 1t is said that in
the light of these talks and the fondness
displayed by his father for the baby,
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr, believed that
he had regained his fathers favor and
would share at least equally with Alfred
Gwynre.
1t was said yesterday that he would
soon retire from the place in the New
York Central office. and that he would
never attempt to have a voice either in
the family counsels or in the manage
ment of the enormous Vanderbilt prop
critics. His plan it was added, was to
go into the banking business as partner
of his father-in-law, r. T. Wilson.

A PROPHET HONORED.
Sampson Glorified In His
Native City of
Palmyra.

Palmyra, N. Y, Oct. 27.-Elaborate
preparations were made here for the
welcome today of Rear Admiral VIM.
7. Sampson to his birthplace. There
were fully 10000 visitors from all over
central New York to accord honor to
the admiral. There was parade, and
after 1t Rear Admiral Sampson and
party were taken to the residence of
Hon. Pliny I. Sexton, where luncheon
was served.
The exercises of the afternoon were
held in the First Presbyterian church.
The building held scarcely 1000 persons,
and it was packed to Its utmost ca
pacity. The rear admiral was most
heartily cheered as he entered the
building. Hon. Pliny T. Sexton, a
schoolmate of Admiral Sampson de-
livered an address of welcome, express
ing the pride of the community in the
merited high honors with which Adj
miral Sampson returned to his birth
place.
Rear Admiral Sampson then arose to
reply. There was applause which last
ed several minutes.
Hon. Pliny T. Sexton presented Adj
miral Sampson with a flag, which, he
said, was the one that hoaeed over the
capitol at Washington on a day in
April. 1898, when congress adopted the
resolutions for Cuban freedom and in
dependence, and which had been Sc
cured by Col. Fred Clemens of Pal
myra.
This flag presentation was totally un-
expected by the rear admiral. When
he arose to reply his eyes were filled
with tears, and his voice choked with
emotion. He said you have always
met Palmyra boys with warm and
hearty welcome. When I left here AZ
years ago TO enter the naval academy,
was greatly helped by your kind
wishes. 1 felt in those days, as I must
now feel that your welcome had been
far more than | deserved You gave
| me no more than you have given John
and Henry and Pliny and Horace and
Charlie, and a host of others whom
knew, many of whom I see near me
| now and 1 observe, have more honor
and should receive far more today than
I did then. May Palmyra enjoy growth
and prosperity. l shall always be more
than happy to be one of her sons"
