United States Mercantile Marine.

An article in recent issue of the Lon
don Syren and Shipping says of the Unit
ed States merchant marine
Much has happened since 1850 in the
matter of American shipping. Then the
docks of Liverpool were full of splendid
wooden built sailing ships under the Stars
and Stripes. To-day a difficulty would be
experienced in finding a representative
of the United States mercantile marine
at almost any port of the United King
dom The American sailing ships of the
China clipper age were the embodiment
of a sailors dream, and to meet one at
sea, under clouds of white cotton canvas,
with everything drawing, from three lofty
skysails and royal studding sails to three
huge courses, was, indeed, a revelation
The masters and officers of these ships
have never been surpassed in seamanship
and the way in which rapid passages were
made is almost beyond belief. No sailing
ship in the worlds history has ever put
to shame the record passage Of the Amer
lean ship Dreadnaught, Sandy Hook to
Queenstown in nine days seventeen hours,
under Capt. S. Samuels, who is still living
in New York, or that of the Aberdeen
White Star saler Thermopylae, Capt.
K!mball, from England to Melbourne, in
sixty days.

Mccoy Says He VIII Challenge
the COrnishman
Immediately After His EncOun-
ter With Sharkey.
Corbett and the Sailor Both
Hasten to Deny COwardice.

New York, April 5.-Tom Sharkey,
Kid Mccoy and Jim Corbett are a bit
sore over Champion Jeffries' assertions
that all the heavy weight pugilists are
afraid to tackle Bob Fitzsimmons. They
don't like It for a cent and roast Jeff
for having made it. They say he's all
wrong. A reporter last night interview
ed the big fellows on Jeffries' statement
with this result:
''Jeffries should never have made
such a statement said Kid Mccoy,
for what he says is a lie, out and out.
I am not afraid to fight FitzsimmOns or
any one else, and to prove that am
sincere in what I say 1 offered to fight
him for the weight champion
ship of the world when he made our re-
cent match. AS every one knows, Fitz-
simmons refused to box me for the til
tie, claiming he wanted to fight at
catch-weights. Just to prove that JEFF
fries is lying when he says am afraid
to box Fitzsimmons, 1 will make
match with Fitz Immediately after my
fight with Tom Sharkey."
What right has Jeffries to say that 1
am afraid to fight titzsimmOns?" asks
Tom Sharkey while l would sooner
fight Jeffries than any other fighter, 1,
nevertheless would not hesitate to fight
Fitzsimmons if he would meet me, as 1
think 1 can beat him in as quick time
as it took me to get the decision over
him in San Francisco. If Fitzsimmons
will agree to fight me at some other
club than the Westchester Athletic
club I will make a match with him at
moments notice. Remember, L will fight
FitzsinmOns after tackle Mccoy, pro-
viding, Of course, Jeffries promises to
fight me-"
Jim Corbett answered: ''Jeffries
doesn't know what he has been talking
about when he says that I, as well as
the other heavyweights, are afraid to
| fight FitzsimmOns. Every one knows
that have been trying in every posi-
bic manner to get Fitz to fight me, and
| even have gone so far as to offer him
| 1000 to give me a return match.
have been bounding and chasing him
| for over three wars, but he has never
| offered to meet me again. Now, you see
how much I am afraid to fight Fitzsim-
| mons. Jeffries' statement, so far as 1
! am concerned, is lie
FitZSimmOnS was all smiles when the
| reporter saw him. He said:
! L think Jeffries' statement is a truth
| full One,and not a. bit exaggerated. am
very thankful to Mr.. Jeffries for his
| kindness toward me, and, furthermore,
| for not being afraid to tell the truth.
| The fact of the matter is, Sharkey and
! Mccoy are afraid of me. In regard to
| Corbett, I won't fight him unless he
should happen to beat Jeffries when

SUES FOR A DIVORCE.

Kansas City, Kan, April 5.-Alta May
Robinson yesterday filed two divorce
suits in the district court. It appears

sued both of her husbands for divorce

inson, to whom the plaintiff was mar
ried on August 6, 1894, in Kansas City
Mo. According to Mrs Robinson s
story, her husband left her on Novem-
Der 2, 1894, to make a trip to the In
dian Territory. He was to be gone but
a few days. However, he failed to re-
turn and Mrs. Robinson claims that she
was informed that her husband had
been killed in the territory.
On January T. 1898, Mrs. Robinson,
believing that her husband was dead,
married Thomas Cummings at Usage
City, Kan. One child was born to them.
On February 8. 1899, Robinson returned

Vorced from Robinson, her mar
riage to Cummings was Illegal How
