Wnlcn the TWO peers or DOXlng were
able to put up. .
Corbett Is Modest.
AS for Corbett, he is just now as full
of championship aspirations as he ever
was and the sooner match can be
arranged between himself and Jeffries
the better he says he will like it. He
came out Of the fight almost without
scratch. He received just two hard
blows, one in the side Of the head and
the other on the jaw. 1.-THE punch he
gave me on the Jaw" Jim says, was
just about as hard as I ever want to
get hit. That Jared me clear to the
heels, and just for a second I felt my
head swimming. 1t was certainly
terrific blow and had not seen it COM
ing and been moving backward at the
time it might have put me down."
Corbett declares that first Of all he
wants to perfect a match with the
champion, and If he fails in this he
wants to get on bout with Fitzsim-
mons. Corbett's manager will post the
necessary forfeit money for match
with Jeffries first.
II do not wish to interfere with the
theatrical plans of Jeffries." Corbett
said, IF he thinks he can make some
money on the road for little while.
The law will make it impossible for us
to meet in New York for some time,
but If he will agree to fight me out
side the state I will 60 into training
at once I firmly believe that I can
beat Jeffries. I know that I can beat
Fitzsimmons. I have profited by the
experience I received in the ring with
both Of them, and if either one OF
them goes up against me again he will
find that am new man entirely.
"In my fight with both Of them had
all the best of it until twas put out.
Jeffries has promised to fight me and
I shall hold him to his promise"
Feels His Defeat Keenly.
OF all the men In New York city to-
day kid" Mccoy was the most mo-
rose. He would sooner have been
been whipped by any other pugi:ist in
the world. There has been a long
standing grudge between the men and
a rivalry so intense that it bordered
upon absolute hatred. Each knew
that the other had following
that considered him the greatest fight
er in the world and in consequence
the ambition of each was to demon
strate that he was the best. These men
stood in a class all alone. They were
recognized as the pioneers of polite
fisticuffs and each had system all his
own. Corbett proved to be the master
and that is why Mccoy now feels as
he never felt before. He recognizes
that his downfall was complete. and
that his conqueror's victory has been
correspondingly great. He admits he
was fairly beaten down, but at the
Same time he attributes his defeat to
a lucky blow of Corbett and to the Ill
fate which has been following him OF
late.
Knew He Was Beaten.
II knew that I was beaten" said
Mccoy, with slight tremor In his
voice when Corbett landed that first
terrible lefthand swing in my stomach.
1t took all OF the wind out Of me and

beaten me even If 1t were landed by

Private Dennis describes the trip out
from Honolulu as delightful and says that
on arriving at Manila December 10 the
transport was anchored near the cruisers
Baltimore and Brooklyn. The company is
pleasantly quartered in a mahogany build

vate Dennis adds:
Il consider these people much better

They have their churches, schools. and pO-
lice. None are allowed TO vote until they
can show individual worth OF $500. Many

LONDON HOUSE RENTS.
High Prices Paid in the English

PRETTY nearly every body understands Of
course. that house rents are very cousid-
erably greater iu London than they are iu
provincial towns. and that iu the me
JrOpoliS they vary greatly and are very
stiff iu the regions ia which society h0g-
ers. Few LUudOuers have much idea OF th-

The plain simple fact Of the matter IS.
however. that YOU cannot get "a decent
house here for less than $4,000. and even
such a one would only have three or four
bedrooms. and. generally speaking. would
not have q greater accommodation thaa a

for less than 5000 a year and from This
figure an intending tenant may 60 up 20
$4,000 a year.
Berkeley Square is likewise difficult 10
get into. II is rather Uld-fashi0Hed aud se-
we're, and the average man or woman from
the country might not be able TO see any
thing about the houses which would JUS

here are always AT a premium. and you
will not get much of residence for $500

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Radical Views of a Worth Carolina
college President

RALEIGH y. c. March l7.-President
George T. Winston. Of the state Agri .ult-
ural and Mechanical College, formerly
president Of the University Of North Caro-
lima and Of Texas. has returned here after
having given evidence before the sub-cOm-
mittee Of the United States Industrial Com
mission. He spoke mainly on the means OF
Improving the negro race. and his Ian
guage was perhaps the plainest the conf
mittee has ever heard.
He declared that the gift Of the fran
chise to the negro had resulted in almost
alternating the whites from the negro, and
the negro was not as a rule. willing for
the whites to do anything for him, and
this gulf broadens and deepens daily. The
greatest blessing which can befall the ne
gro. in his opinion. is the restoration Of the
kindly relations OF thirty-Gve years ago. as
this would elevate the negro in truly
helpful way. This can be brought about by
the absolute elimination OF the nogrp from
politics I'm the Southern states and by in
dustrial education. which will make him
useful and possibly indispensable 10 the
viii 2 people in the South.
President Winston declares that even YET
the real race trouble has not begun in the
South, but viii come when the whites who
I labor will not want the negroes TO labor
and are arrayed against the latter In a
struggle for employment. and when s'rik
ing whites in mills. etc. are replaced by
negroes. President Winston assured the
committee that unless the negroes dtdu-
do1 their political and social eQUslitv
dreams anu devote themselves &C indrs-
trial training and manual labor The. fate
is sealed that now there is a place for
him in the industrial life Of the South, but
unless he fills this place speedily certainly
before another generation passes aw'y he
will have no place az ali except as tns yer-
I lest drudge and he will be driven % the
wall as an incompetent.
A member of the committee asked Iresi-
! dent Winston why the negro should not
be allowed TO vote here just as he g. al
lowed TO vote in New England. President
Winston said he would ask i'm reply why
