AUSTIN RICE DRAWS.

Westfield, Mass, Dec 31.-A twelve round bout between Austin Rice of New London and George Murray of Lynn. Mass, was the drawing card at an exhibition given by the Berkshire Athletic club last night. The bout was declared a draw. Rice adopted rush. ing tactics, but did little damage. It was a bloodless exhibition, and con- siderable science was shown. In the first round Rice forced the fighting, while Murray was clever in uppercut- ting; it was an even thing. In the sec ond Murray had a slight advantage, getting in two hard uppercuts. In the third there was considerable clinching. Rice started in in the fourth with his rushing tactics, but Murray gave q fine exhibition of blocking and used his right hand to good advantage. In the fifth and sixth rounds Rice con- tinued rushing. but landed few blows. The ninth was Murray's, and the tenth even, with Rice rushing hard and ire quently driving Murray to the ropes. The Berkshire club has secured George Dixon and Austin Rice for an exhihi- ton the last week in January.

 The young people were engaged to be married Christmas. but recently an uncle of the bride died and it was found that he had left large part of the estate to Miss Harris on the con- dition that she marry Wells within 30 days. Wells was taken i'll with pneumonia on his way east. As the 30 days expired on that day it was arranged that Willis Johnson a friend of the groom, should act as proxy. e
 The bride had a large photograph of the groom on table in front of which the ceremony was performed, beside which stood Johnson, who an swered the questions addressed to the photograph. At the conclusion of the ceremony Rev. Mir. Clements pro- nounced Nina Harris and Carleton Wells, represented by the photograph, husband and wife

General Wood to Order Reduction of
 Railroad Tariffs. : q

5 . 2
 HAVANA, Dec. 31.-A decree reduc- ing the railroad tariff on sugar and to- bacco an average of p per cent will be issued by Governor General Wood today.
 Cuban planters have long protested against the alleged excessive rates on these products from points in the iflte- rior to the seaports. According to the new decree the rates will also, as far as possible, be made uniform through out the island The decree further provides that the railroads will be granted hearings in their petitions to show that their earnings cannot stand the proposed reductions.
 The return of General Maximo Go meg to Havana did not bring forth the big demonstration that had been pre- Gicted for the occasion. Although Gen eral Gomez was welcomed by six bands of music, less enthusiasm was shown than i'll the Maso manifesta- tions. The Maso followers had arrang- ed demonstration in opposition to the one to welcome General Gomez; but fearing trouble, this was prohibited by the authorities

WITH TIE POlO|SIS
The Fight Is On With Harring-
 ton And His Players.

Conway Says He Has the Whip Hand
 Harrington Has a Whole New
 Team-Harry Durant and Tommy
 Guest Are Mixed Up In It-There
 Will Be Something Doing Tonight
 It looks like war to the death be tween Manager George E. Harrington and the five players who constituted his team before he commenced to fe- lease them. Manager Harrington says he will have a whole new team, for Griffin and Sutton refuse to play unless the three released players were with them. The manager claims he has five men already to go to New Ha- ven tonight and Kid Conway says he has not secured five men unless he has signed all Waterbury amateurs. Con- way claims that the original five play CTS of the team have been doing lit tie wiring themselves and that MT Hig- gins, Mir Mains and MT Warmer will not be with Mr Harrington when he lands in New Haven tonight. Kid Conway, Johnny Griffin, Eddie Men ard, Tarrant and Sutton will be in New Haven this evening and will be ready to play, so says Conway, and the other players say the Kid is rght in his statement. Should Manager Harring- ton land in New Haven without a team and hould the big five get there ready for business, what will be the outcome?
 Kid Conway says there will be q meeting tonight and that Manager Harrington will get the grand bounce. Manager Harrington says that Kid Conway will not be allowed i'll the meeting to take part in the delibera- tions, but if he has q grievance the managers will listen to him. If the directors stand by their action of Sun day, then Manager Harrington will land on the top If, however, Con- way can explain where they made q mistake, then the franchise may be lost to Manager Harrington. It is also understood that Attorney Harry Durant and Tommy Guest will be in New Haven this evening. The attor- ney will look after the legal points of the caseein behalf of Conway ct a1 and Tommy Guest will be asked by the big five to handle their interests as man. ager. It is q very strange muddle and when it is strengthened out it will probably be found that someone. has put his foot in it.

 This polo muddle should be straight ened out at once.
 Conway says he is the "king'' and Harrington says he is king Let the ''ace" be played now.
 By the way, we forgot to inquire who had the uniforms of the Water bury team Perhaps that may decide the question as to who will play to- night.
 When a fight is being made for the city that has been the poorest in the league this season. some one must be expecting something. Perhaps there is "a nigger in the woodpile."l
 Secretary Roger gave the president of the league and Manager Harrington quite d little knock the other night in his paper over a certain matter, and it is up to the secretary to do some ques- tioning tonight as to why the article he referred to was published Frederigo Does childish action re- gafding the Christmas games will not soon be forgotten by Portland enthusi- asts. Doe had no reason to try to work the bunco policy on Portland and it will be interesting to see what stand the league will take in this matter. Take notice.

GROWTH OF TRUSTS
Census Returns z Give Some
 Startling Figures.
IRON AND STEEL HEAD THE LIST.
Over Fifty Per Cent of These Com binatfons Were Formed During Eighteen Months From Jan.
 l, 1899, to June 30, 1900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. = Census statistics just made public on indus trial combinations show a total au- thorized capitalization May 31, 1900, for the 1S3 corporations reported of $3, GOT, ,539, POO and capital stock issued of 3OS5, ,2OO,S ,S6S Of this total the au- thorized capital includes $270, 0,127,2 ,250 in bonds, $1,259, ,54O, 900 in preferred stock and $2,O77, ,S71.O50 in common. The capital stock issued comprises $216, 6,412, 759 in bonds, $1, ,066 525, ,963 in preferred stock and S1 ,S02, ,262, 146 in common stock.
 The total value of all the products of the combinations reported is $1,661,- 295, 1884, and, subtracting the value of the products of the hand trades, or mechanical and neighboring industries, which amount to $1,216, 165, 160, the products of the industrial combinations in 1900 are found equivalent to over 20 per cent of the total gross products of the manufac curing industries of the country as they existed in 1890. The 1S3 corporations reported employed an average of 399, ,192 wage earners, re- ceiving $194, ,534,5 ,515 in wages. Elm ployment also was given to 24,5S5 sal aried officials clerks, etc., receiving total of $32, ,653, ,62S in salaries. Miscel- laneous expenses of these combina- tions aggregated $151, ,851, orr. The to- tai cost of material used was $1,0S5,- OS3, ,82S.
 The 1S3 corporations reported con- trol 2,029 plants that were active dur ing the census year and 174 reported as idle during that period. The returns show an average of II active plants to each corporation. Of all these indus trial combinations 63 were organized prior to 1897. Over 50 per cent of the total number of such corporations were chartered during the eighteen months from Jan. l, 1899, to June 30, 1900. The statistics of industrial com binations exclude all corporations man. ufacturing and distributing gas and electric light power, it being impossible to trace all of the latter, and they do not generally possess the same econom- ic significance. The returns show that the iron and steel industry is at the head of the list, with q gross product of $50S, ,626, ,482, which is more than double the value of the product of any other group, except food and kindred products, and represents nearly one third of the total gross value of prod nets of all the industrial combinations
