TWO BAD DECISIONS
MARRIED THE SPORT
JIMMY ANTHONY SUFFERS AT
THE REFEREES HANDS.
He and Sailor Kinnane Win, but
Are Decided Against by doc"
Flynn ana the ''Ice Man"

The Washington Square Athletic Club
pulled off two good fights last evening,
but the decisions of the referee were very
rank. Jim Griffin. the ''iceman." was
selected to referee the contest between
Chick Finnerty and Jack Kinnane, sail
or of the battleship Iowa, who was tat
tooed with the American colors on body
and back, taking on the appearance OF g.
museum freak. Several men-of-warsmen
were present to see their comrade per-
form.
In the first round Kinnane got a right
handler on the jaw which sent him to the
boards, but he was up in a jiffy and
fought back with vim, driving two hard
straight handlers on Finnerty's neck. In
the second round Kinnane battered his
opponent all around the ring with right
hand upper cuts The third was evenly
contested. In the fourth kinnane had
much the better of the game. In the fifth
round Finnerty opened up a few links
and some hot fighting resulted. the sailor
showing strong signs of grogginess.
From this time on TO the tenth round the
the ''ceman,' who was friend of Fin
nerty, gave the local pugilist the decis-
ion, much to the disgust of the specta-
tors.
ten-round bout between Jack Kane and
Charles Goepel. Kane stopped Goepel in
the first round and was awarded the de-
cision.
Doc" Flynn of the South End Rowing
Club was selected TO referee the event of
the evening, which was a twenty-round
contest between Jimmy Anthony and Will
liam Cole. Anthony was a favorite in the
betting at 10 to T. his friends thinking he
had cinch in whipping Cole.
Cole was very nervous in the first round
and Anthony won decided lead landing
several times on his young opponent. In
the second round Cole caught Anthony
on the jaw with a left swing and sent
him to the carpet, where Anthony re-
mained for nine seconds. This was Coles
round. In the next round Cole plucked
up courage and fought Anthony to the
ropes, scoring several times. The fourth
two heavy hard lefts on Coles nose,
dra wing blood.
The fifth was even: the sixth, seventh
eighth and ninth terminated in favor of
Anthony. Hard fighting was seen in the
tenth round. Cole rushed his opponent
and landed two hard rights on Anthony's
jaw the round ending in favor of Cole.
After this Anthony seemed TO have lost
his steam and Cole took lead in points
in the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth rounds. The fifteenth was
even. The sixteenth ended in Anthony's
favor. In the seventeenth Cole won
short lead on points but in the eight
eenth nineteenth and twentieth Anthony
certainly had all the best of the contest.
In the last round Cole reSorted to very
cowardly tactics. running away from his
man and clinching and throwing his arms
around Anthony's legs to avoid punish
ment The spectators were surprised
when the referee gave a decision in favor
of Cole. Anticipating trouble, the police
escorted the referee out OF the building.

Preparing for the Campaign.

A scheme of currency reform has been put out by the republican house caucus committee. It is in substances:
 The redemption of all obligations of the government in gold on demand.
 Greenbacks, when once redeemed for gold, to be reissued only for gold.
 Permitting national banks to issue notes to the par value of their government bonds deposited in the treasury, instead of 90 per cent. as al present.
 Permitting the minimum capital of the national banks to be s25O0O, instead of $50,00 AS at present.
 The plan as thus outlined may have been put out for the purpose Of testing public opinion. The party managers may be de- sirous of ascertaining either what the coun- try will stand, or else they may desire to see what will satisfy the subscribers to their campaign fund. The campaign sub scribers of 1896 were promised currency re- form on the gold basis, and there is fear that they will not re-subscribe in 1900 while the promises of 1896 remain unfulnlled.
 All that can be said in favor of the new plan, if it really be more than a feeler, is
 
 plan of last year. That plan called for a gold reserve that congress could not draw upon, and the secretary of the treasury was to have power to strengthen it by bor- rowing money expressly for that purpose. These provisions are not included in the latest plan of the republican managers. The plan now presented has the word 'campaign" written all over it. It does not go very deep or make radical changes. It is a piece of legislation that is expected to placate the obstinate, while 1t does not seriously offend the suspicious and alert voter. It is a shrewd effort to serve the masses and the classes, while 1t in fact changes nothing of importance. The na- tional banks gain little more power, but otherwise nothing new is provided for.

retary Wilson, "when the south produces all the tea the people in the United States want This department proposes to push experimentation along that line We in- tend to establish a tea farm in every south ern state as soon as that can be done in- telligently. We propose to get the finest varieties of tea to be found in the Orient and to have the planting done where growth can be forced through irrigation, so as to get plenty of tender shoots. The young people of the south can earn enough to board and clothe themselves during the school period by picking tea.
 MT Sheppard, of Somerville, S. C., has fifty acres cultivated as a tea farm He told his colored neighbors that he would build them 2 schoolhouse and provide a teacher for their children free of cost if they would agree to let the children pick tea leaves for him twice @ week at req sonable rate of wages for their time That has succeeded.

MR. BANKuEAD's CHANGES

From the Washington Post.
 My belief is," said Congressman Under- wood, of Alabama, at the Wellington last evening, that Representative John H. Banl1head will be the caucus nominee of the Democrats for speaker of the next house. He will beyond doubt go into the caucus with more votes than any of the gentlemen who have been mentioned for the honor"
 MT. Underwood has always been known as one of the strongest supporters, as well as one of the closest personal friends, of Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, who re- signed the democratic leadership, and the question was put to him whether MT. Bailey might not reconsider qlis declina ton and again be a candidate for the minority leadership. To this suggestion he gave an emphatic answer in the negative.
 Mir. Bailey said he, twas sincere when he gave in his resignation, and l feel ab- solutely certain that he could not, under any circumstances, be induced to take the leadership again He has, moreover, an- nounced his candidacy for the United States senate, and I am informed by his friends that he stands an excellent chance of attaining that office, which has for a long time been a cherished ambition. This fact alone would make it impracticable for him to figure in the speakership contest"

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
The Birmingham Amendment.
Editor.

The validity of the Birmingham amend ment should be determined. There is noth- ing to be gained by delay in ascertaininG whether the manner of it's submission was valid or not. The nature of appropriations and of the entire city government for that matter, depend upon it. as do, of course, tho leyying and collection of taxes. So im- portant matter should be speedily estab- ilshed or set aside, the quicker the better.
 The Age-Herald therefore sees no reason for condemning the merchants who desire a speedy settlement of the controversy. As business men they want to know where they stand. They want the affairs of the city placed upon solid basis. If economy of the closest kind must be practiced, they want all to know it at once. They desire to prevent trouble by facing courageously the situation. They are acting in public affairs as they would in their own respect i've private affairs. There is no reason to condemn them; on the contrary, they arc acting wisely and to the best interests of all.
 The decision they seek will have bearings as broad as the bounds of the state; for if amendments can be lawfully submitted to the people as was the Birmingham amend n.ent, then revision of the constitution by amendments may be practicable and possi- ble. If on the other hand, amendments cannot be lawfully submitted in that man. ner then all intelligent and honest men will know that revision of the constitution can be accomplished only through the call ing of a constitutional convention. The merchants tax offers a good opportunity to settle the mooted question, and The Age-Herald is glad that decision by the supreme court before adjournment is possible.
