NEW York, Jan. 18.-"Kid" Mccoy
got the decision over Joe Choynski in .
bout which lasted three rounds at tho
Broadway Athletic club. Choynski
would have had the fight in the second
round were it not for al accident in the
timekeeping. He had foored the Kid
four times, but the tilnekeeper pulled
the bell as Mccoy was being counte
for the limit of 10 seconds and this
saved the Kid from absolute defeat.
Choynski's seconds protested vigor-
ously, but Referee Johnny White,
while knowing the round was short by
many seconds, 81 cod by the official time
and ordered tho men to resume lighting
when time was called for the third.
Choynski outpointed and outmaneu-

ski down and out was delivered almost
two seconds after the bell had rung for
the completion Of the third round.
There was great deal Of noise in the
hall at the time the gong sounded and
it is believed neither man heard the
clang of the gong.
Colonel Mike Padden, timekeeper for
Mccoy, said after the fight that the
second round was clipped by 40 Sec
onds; that Mccoy was groggy and
practically out when the bell rang.
Choynski, while feeling rather sore,
said he had no fault to find with the
referee and in conversation with the
latter exonerated White from all blame.
"Ihad him licked good and sure" said
Choynski, land had tho timekeeper
acted right had him counted out"
After the fight Mccoy and Choynski
signed articles of agreement for an
other bout to take place at the Broad
way Athletic club on Feb. 20 next.

OUR TROOPS IN CHINA.

We fear the United States has lost a
golden opportunity. So soon as the
Chinese began the murder of our peo'
pie, and surely SO soon as our minister
was attacked our treaty rights per
mitted us to protect them, and him.
We had large army almost in touch
with China and large navy ready to
enter her ports. Had the administers
ton ordered 25, 900 soldiers from the
Philippines to China and sent them
laundering on the gates of Pekin and
saved the lives of our own minister
and those of the Europeans there, the
civilized world would have shouted &C.
claims. We would not have been &C
cused of wanting any piece of China.
and the international jealousias would
not have been visited on us. What
an opportunity this nation has lost.
Why was it not seized?

Those of the North who are conscious
