THE BOXING SHOW.
Principal Bout Did Not Take Place
A Small Crowd.


For some unknown reason the splen-
did card offered at the Music hall last
evening failed to draw. The boxers
were on hand, in condition, and the one
thing lacking was the crowd. Conse-
quently the club Golfers were light and
the principals in the star bout refused
to go on for the best Mr.. Dunn could
offer Mr.. Dunn offered to refund the
people their money, but the office
couldn't stand the strain. so the peo-
pie came back to see what the club was
prepared to show. The pr liminary bout
came off as scheduled except as to the
matter of time. Button Bunch and
kid" Conroy shook hands at 1890. Mr..
Dunn was agreed upon as referee vice
Sam Austin, resigned. Conroy was al
legged to weight 122 pounds. He GER
tainly weighed no less. The pair boxed
twelve fast and interesting rounds and
Conroy got the decision. The showing
Button Bunch made was very credit
able. The ELM City Midgets" then came
on. The smaller of the two was the
more competent and the crowd roared
with laughter at his antics. The only
permanent damage was to the windows
of Music hall, which were smashed from
without by some of the disappointed.
The sporting men of the city were in
sympathy with Mr.. Dunn over the fail
ure of the show. He worked hard they
declared, but luck was against him.

be lengthy document. After return
! ing thanks for his election, affirming
his respect for the constitution and
pledging himself to uphold it faithfully,
both in spirit and letter, the president
will warmly appeal for pacification and
concord, and will eulogize the army and
express the hope that the country will,
in it's attachment to the army and Its
respect for justice, speedily witness the
restoration of harmony and the solu-
ton of the questions that are agitating
the nation. The president will then re-
call the fact that he has always devoted
himself to the study of labor and social
questions, industrial matters, financial
economy and the organization of indus
try, and he will insist upon parliament
dealing with these questions in a prac-
tical and faithful manner. Regarding
foreign affairs, the message will say
that in her relations with foreign ma

will remain faithful to friendships form
ed, and which, by it's correctness and
disinterestedness, will conform to the
traditions of her history. This policy
will be the surest guarantee of peace
and best calculated to maintain the
place which France occupies in the

NEWS FROM MANILA.
Natives Make Bold Attempt to Burn
Headquarters of American Troops.

Manila, Feb. 21.--9:10 a. m.-The ma
tives of the village of Paco made bold
attempt last night to burn the quarters
of the First Washington volunteers by
setting fire to the huts adjoining the
headquarters. Fortunately the wind
changed at the moment the fire was
discovered and famed by a stiff breeze,
the flames spread in the opposite direc-
ton, destroying fully twenty shacks and
houses opposite the ruins of the church.
The incendiaries escaped. Mysterious
signals were frequently made along the
enemy's line during the night and this
led to the belief that an attack had been
arranged; but nothing happened. The
rebels are leaving the vicinity of San
Pedro Macati in small parties and are
reported to be moving toward Singalon.

$eO,OOO,OOO Pa AYMENT TO SPAIN.
The House Finally Passes a Bill APP
propriating This Amount.


Washington, Feb. 20.-A separate bill
appropriating 2O,OOOOOO for payment to
Spain under the provisions of the treaty
of Paris was passed to-day by the
house under suspension of the rules. No
amendment was in order and an at
tempt to secure unanimous consent to
offer an amendment declarative of our
policy not permanently to annex the
islands was objected to. Mr. Wheeler
of Kentucky, upon whose point of order
the appropriation went out of the SUM-
dry civil bill, made the only speech in
open hostility to the measure, but upon
the roll call thirty-four members-thir
ty-one democrats, two populists and one
silver republican-voted against it. The
votes of 213 members were cast for it.
The senate bill to reimburse the gov
ernors of states for expenses paid by the
states in organizing volunteers for SER
vice in the war with Spain before their
muster into the service of the United
States also was passed under suspension
of the rules. The bill appropriating
$780, 900 for the Pan-American exposition
to be held at Buffalo, N. Y, in 1901, was
before the house on a motion to sus-
pend the rules, but it was antagonized
by the chairman of the appropriations
committee, Mr. Cannon. Owing to the
lateness of the hour a quorum had dis
appeared and advantage was taken of
this fact, compelling an adjournment
The bill now goes over until next Sat
urday, when it will come up as unfin-
ished business.

CHIEF FANCHER HAS RETURNED.
Says That His Physicians Ordered Va

says That HIS PhystC1nnS ordered W.
cation-Improved In Health.
Superintendent Rufus S. Fancher of
the fire department returned to New
Haven last night on the 9:55 train from
New York after four weeks vacation
on leave Of absence, taken on account of
i'll health. The rest seems to have done
him considerable good and he is looking
very much better than he did before he
went away. He stated last night that
he expected to return to duty to-day or
tomorrow. He is very indignant at the
articles concerning his absence which
have been published in some Of the city
papers and denounces them in strong
terms.
He said last night that before he went
away his health was so poor that he
was hardly able to attend to the duties
Of his Office. He was suffering from a
nervous disability and was unable to
sleep nights. Finally his condition be-
came SO bad that he consulted physi-
clans, Drs. Q'Neil and Klenke, and was
told by them that it was imperative
that he should go away somewhere,
where he could have absolute rest and
be perfectly quiet. For this reason
Chief Fancher says that he did not say
where he was going, although he did say
last night that his family knew where
he was and that his wife visited him
twice while he was gone He also says
that he corresponded during his absence
with officials of the fire department and
in case of emergency could have been
quickly reached on department bust
ness. He said that when he went away
he supposed that it had been arranged
through his physicians with the fire
board.
Since he Joined the department as
permanent member in 1887 he has had
but one vacation previous to the one he
has just taken and that was a week in
the latter part Of last January. At that
time he only took three days off duty
although weeks absence was granted
to him. When Benjamin Prescott re-
signed as clerk of the department, Mr..
and during that time besides performing
the duties of clerk at headquarters dur
ing the day he was obliged to report at
the engine house every night and stay
there to be ready to respond to fire
alarms. When Chief Hubbard was
taken i'll and left the city July last,
Mr.. Fancher, who was at that time fire
marshal, had the responsibility Of both
chief and fire marshal until the appoint
ment of Fire Marshal Gladwin on No
vember 1 last. This double work was
great strain upon him and resulted in
breaking down of the nervous system.
In January last he was attacked with
grip and before he had recovered from
that he attended the Clark fire on Brew
cry street and had charge Of the work
of the firemen there. He became
drenched through at the fire and suf-
fered a relapse of the grip. During his
absence he has been under medical
treatment continually and is now much
in general health owing to the
vacation which he has taken. He has
been gone just four weeks. When asked
where he had spent his vacation he said
that he did not care to say, simply be-
cause he did not think that it was any
ones business where he had been.

New York, Feb. 20.-Seven witnesses
We're examined to-day in the coroner's

terry. The feature of the day was the
testimony of Mrs. Rogers, daughter Of
Mrs. Adams, who told the story of her
when the inquest was adjourned. She

to do something for him. The doctor
gave her tablet as big as a dime ana
she gave it to Cornish.
DR.. H. B. Douglass, who attended
Barnet in his last illness told the jury
that his patient did not die of poisoning,
though he admitted that Barnet told
him that he had taken some medicine
sent to him in a Kutnow powder pack
age. This package, DR.. Douglass said,
contained cyanide Of mercury. The
doctor insisted that Barnet had had
false" diphtheria and that his death
d,,o rs
Bates, who nursed Barnet in his last
illness, testified to the illness and death
of her patient. Harry A. King, friend
of Cornish and a member Of the Knick-
erbocker Athletic club, who by the mer-
est accident, escaped taking some OF
the alleged bromo seltzer sent to Cor
nish, told his story to the jury David
Murdoch, who rents private letter box
es, testified that Mrs. Rogers had rented
a box at his store, but ceased patronix-
Ing him nearly two wears ago. The
other witnesses to-day were Edward p. IN
Hughes, a police officer, who acted as
stenographer for Captain McCluskey
and took shorthand reports of Cornish's
statements in the detective department.:
DR.. Weston and DR.. Albert vedder q
dentist, who testified that he knew Mrs.
Rogers and that he had learned
through Murdoch that Mrs. Rogers was
also living under the name of Addison.
Quite a stir occurred in the court
room this afternoon when Mrs Moli-
neaux and her husband made their ap-
pearance. Mrs Molineux was taken at \
once to the coroner's jury room, where
she was Joined by Attorney Weeks. Az
ter brief consultation between the dis
trict attorney and Lawyer Weeks the
former announced that the examination
of Mrs. Molineux would follow that of A
Mrs. Rogers. Mr.. and Mrs. Molineux
then left the court room. The district
attorney announced late this afternoon
that he had not yet decided when Corr
nish would be put on the stand,
