New York, Jan. 14.-Kid Mccoy got
bout which lasted three rounds at the
Choynski would have had the fight in
accident in the timc-Aeaping. He had
foored the Kid four times, but the
timekeeper pulled the bell as Mccoy
was being counted for the limit Of ten
seconds and this saved the kid from
absolute defeat. Choynski's seconds
protested vigorously. but Referee
Johnny White. while knowing the
round was short by many seconds,
stood by the official time and ordered
the men to resume fighting when time
was called for the third. Choynski
outpointed and outlraneuvered all of
McCoy's clever ring movements. Nc
Coy having ESCAPED defeat in the sec
ond, was again lucky in the third, as
the blow with which he sent Choynski
down and out was delivered almost
two seconds after the bell had rang
for the completion of the third round.
There was a 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. In the northeast
ern part of the building there was a
tun.ult caused by one of the specta.
tors dropping dead. The man was
very much excited during the bout,
and expressed himself freely as to Nc
Coy's being out before the bell rang.
He slid from his seat dead as the bell
sounded for the beginning of the third
round.
Col. Mike Padden, timekeeper for
Mccoy, said afterward that the round
was clipped by forty seconds; that Nc
Coy was groggy and practically out
when the gong rang. ChoyEsky. while
feeling rather sore, said he had no
fault to find with the referee, and in
conversation with the latter, exon
Grated White from all blame. Il had
him licked good. and sure" said Joe.
land had the timekeeper acted right
1 had him counted out. However, l
am satisfied nothing was done by eth
er the referee or the official time
keeper with the intention Of doing me
wrong. 1t was an unfortunate
thing that time should have been mis-
calculated. as l had won the fight
cleverly."
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.

in a demonstration such as has never
been witnessed before. A crowd num-
bering several hundred completely
filled the corridors leading to the del
egates' Chamber. They hoWled.
hooted and Kissed and at times threat
ened to break in the doors leading to
the delegates floor. Alfred Life, a
page of the house, was assaulted. At
one time a revolver was drawn by
the sergeant-at-arms of the house.
Henry Lenke, who guarded the en-
trance to the delegate floor and sew
eral times before the arrival of the
police it looked as though bloodshed
could not be averted. The arrival Of
a police sergeant and a squad had the
effect of quelling the disturbance. The
situation in the different city institu-
lions is unchanged from that previ-
orsly reported. A number of ordi-
nances have been passed by the city
council this week providing for tenn
porary relief in electric lighting, had
their first reading in the house last
night and assurances were given by
leaders that the measures would have
prompt attention and action at the
earliest possible moment under the

London, Jan. II. The WA. office
yesterday morning received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gen. Buller,
dated Springfield, Jan. 11.'at 8 p. M:
81 occupied the south bank of the
Tugela river at Potgeiters Drift this
morning and seized Pont. The river
is in flood. The enemy is strongly IN
trenched about four and one-half miles
to the north
Gen. Buffers twenty eight words an
nouncing his forward movement OF
Thursday is interpreted as meaning
that he has passed around the west
ern end of the Boer lines at Colenso
and is now several miles beyond them
and seventeen miles from Gen. White S
outposts at Ladysmith. The Beers a
few days ago had forces with guns at
Springfield. When Butler sent his dis
patch these Commands had been OBJ
viously dislodged either by fighting or
by maneuvers. the Beers retlrlng
across the Tugela as Gen. Butler ad-
vanced. From Gen. Buffers dispatch,
coupled with the fact that othclalt H.
telligence from the seat OF war mas
virtually ceased since Monday. the de-
duction is drawn that Important ope-
rations are in progress. as he cannot
move far without going against the
Boer intrenchments.
The death list from fever and dys-
entery at I4adysmith, averaging ABOUT
eighty daily. are considered more
serious than the 42O casualties of Sat
urday's fighting, as they show the un,
sanitary condition of the beleaguered
town. A letter from Ladysmith dated
Dec. 6, said that even then ninety men
out of the battalion OF which the
writer was member, were sick with
either dysentery or enteric fever. and,
according to dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle, dated Jan. 8, the patients
and attendants in Tombige Camp.

"The Boer forces. originally $4,000

Washington, Jan. IA. - The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce ordered a favorable report
upon the Hepburn bill for the con-

The bill is practically the same one re-
ported by this committee in the last

about the ACCESSIBILITY of delaying ac
ton on the bill until the isthmian
canal commission reported, but this
was finally regarded as unnecessary.
and all the members except MI.
Fletcher of Minnesota voted to report
the bill favorably. The latter said his
silence should not be construed as op
position to the measure. but merely as
a reservation of his right to support or
oppose it after further consideration.
