Mr.. WI. while apprehenslye OF what

been exaggerated and that when the
truth becomes known, affairs will not
be in the sorry plight in which they
are now represented to be. At the

the outcome Those who were dubious
as to Dixon's chances wanted to bet on
the duration of the contest, but the price
had to be alluring before they would part
with their money.
Early in the morning the odds were 10
to on McGovern. In the afternoon the
Dixon cohorts showed their hand. and
the figures soon receded to to 5. at
which price 1t remained until o'clock
Then the figures were 10 to 7. Charley
Mahoney, Of the Hotel Rivers, got rid Of
81, 900 in jig time on McGovern. He gave
10 to s. and even money on ten rounds,
Billy Edwards backed McGovern to the
extent Of $500 to $3.50 on fifteen rounds.
and $3.50 to $175 on the general result. Ed
wards says that he had no trouble in
finding takers, and was surprised over
the willingness to accept the odds offered.
John Bitner, of the DeIavan house. ex-
hausted his pile in the course of an hour.
He placed 5000 to $500 with Western
man twice. At Corbett's Sylvie Warren
and Dick Dougherty recorded the follow
ing bets: James Raines, $500 even with

redirect examination, and on this account
1t is expected that Mr.. Whiteside will be
on the stand when the hearing is resumed
tomorrow
Ex-senator Faulkner's efforts today
were directed toward entangling Mr..
Whiteside upon dates and exact state
ments made as to transactions in connec-
ton with Mr.. Clark's election to the sem
ate, and he went very fully into the al
legged deposit of money with him (Mr.
Whiteside) for himself and other state
senators. Mr.. Faulkner brought out the
fact that of the men to whom the witness
knew of his own personal knowledge
that money had been paid, only two had
subsequently voted for Clark and that
there was no clear understanding as to
the full transaction with those two.
Mr.. Whiteside closed with the renewal
of his declaration that he believed him
self to be serving the state Of Montana
in his present course, and review Of
the use of the money in state affairs
which had induced him to it.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-"Kid" Mccoy
will fight again Friday night. He will
meet Joe Choynski at the Broadway club
or twenty-five rounds. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to say this will be a catchwetght
affair. The men are not In any particular
class, both being a trifie over the middle
weight limit at this time, and yet too
light for the upper heavies, as far as the
technical division goes.
This match has been hanging fire for a
long time. For three years it has been
talked of, without it being made. All this
time the friends of the Californian have
been urging him to go ahead and sign
articles which might include almost any
concessions. In this place, that and the
other articles have been drawn up and
signatures have been affixed, but In each
case the negotiations have fallen through
for one reason or another. For Friday
night. everything is in readiness.
The chickering's between Choynsh and
Mccoy have engendered a good deal of
disagreeable personal feeling. AS mat
ter of fact Choynsk formally retired
from the ring a few months ago. He felt
he was in position which would per-
nit him to get along without continuing
business in the ring. But when Mccoy
threw out a definite def to the man with
whom he had been in a lengthy wrangle,
Choynski took it up instantly. and the

SHIPPING BILL.
House Committee Hears Represent
atiyes of Shipping Interests.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The represen-
tatives of the shipping and shipbuiidtng
interest was given a hearing today by the
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries on the measure generally
known as the shipping bill, and entitled
"a bill to promote the commerce and In
crease the foreign trade of the United
States and to provide auxiliary cru sers,
transports and seamen for government
use when necessary" Many of those
prominent in the shipping world were
present.
Ex-senator Edmunds appeared in be-
half of the shipping interests, to present
the general views on the bill.
c. A. Griscom, president of the Inter
national Navigation company, made an
Introductory statement showing the COM
position of the committee which framed
the measure, including those engaged in
building and in operating ships, manu-
facturers, merchants, ETC., comprising
representatives of diversified industries
having an interest in the extension OF
American trade and shipping. Mr.. Ed
munds then submitted a general argu-
ment in favor of the measure.
| Mr.. Edmunds said that one of the great
! fundamental principles of the bill was
! that it gave no scope for combinations
or syndicates of ship owners and no field
| for trusts, as its operations were open
to all alike, and the advantages Conferred
were as free as the ocean itself. He urg-
| ed that If we are In earnest as to the cx-
| tension of American commerce some
broad measure of this character could
best aid in bringing about that end.
In answer to Mr.. Hopkins inquiry as
| to what extent discriminatory duties
| could revive shipping and trade. Mr.. Ed
munds said discrimination was rem
edy open to all nations. If begun by the
| United States 1t would quickly be follow
| ed by our great commercial rivals, each
| discrimination being retaliated in kind
on duties, harbor charges, etc, SO that
| there could be no real remedy on those
lines Mr.. Edmunds said another plan
had been put forward by some opposing
interests, he believed, perhaps, by some
! of the railways running through Can
ada, to the effect that the shipping bill
did not afford the real remedy, but that
an export bounty on corn, wheat, ETC..
sent abroad, would help the farmer as
well. as the vessel owner He express
ed the belief, however, that such an en-
actment would be unconstitutional, being
contrary to the principle of equality.
Messrs. Clyde, Nixon and Search also
advocated the bill. Hearings will be con-
tinued next Tuesday.

committee on privileges and elections
held only one session in its hearing in
the Clark senatorial election case today
Ex-State Senator Whiteside, of Montana,
was the only witness. 1t was the fourth
day Of his examination.
When the committee adjourned at noon
Mr.. Faulkner announced that he had for
the present concluded the cross-examna-
ton of Mr. Whiteside but that he would
ask for his recall later, in order to pro-
pound certain questions which he was
not yet ready to put, and upon which he
would undertake to impeach his testi-
mony.
Mr. Campbell, representing the anti
Clark petitioners, also stated that. he
wished to ask a few more questions OH

Brutal? No Tney are fakes. That is
why l think the brton law should be
repealed. The fights are fixed before
hand, and the spectators are humbugged.
Take, for instance. the Dixon

night I never saw such farce. There
