TERRY M'GoyERN,s NOSE.

Terry McGovern came up from his Hampstead training quarters yesterday morning and Dr Crump removed the tubes from the fighters nestrils through which McGovern had been breathing since his nose was operated on. His physician gave him the well come news that from now on he will be able to do without the .tubes entire ly in the daytime. He will wear them at night for about ten days, and will go to Dr Crump's office every two or three days for treatment. Dr Crump said yesterday that McGovern would be able to start heavy training when he arrives in Louisville next week, and his nose has healed so that he can box now if he is careful not to have hls nose hit very hard The only way the Brooklynite has shown any bad effect of the operation was the loss of little weight, but he is rapidly regaining that. He will be better physically now than he has been for years. and will not be troubled by headaches as he was before the operation. The ep- eratien has also stopped the flow of tears from his right eye that formerly bothered him so much whenever he ex- erted himself in training or when fight ing.

RUBE FERNS WON.

Chicago, Jan 2S.-Rube Ferns, the former welterweight champion, won a decision over Tim Murphy of Australia at the American Athletic club last night. The fight, which was for six rounds, was disappointment, both men being unusually wild in their blows.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Jack o'Brien Wins from Mckee
 yer In England.

It Happened in the Third Round, When McKeever Backheeled O'Brlen and He Was Disqualified-Pedl edlar
 Palmer Whipped by Jim Williams Young Peter Jackson Defeats Jack
 Bonner-Spike Sullivan Going to England.
 London. Jan 2S.-Jack O'Brien re- ceiyed the decision over Charles NC Keever on a foul in the third ronhd last night. The latter backheeled hls opponent and was disqualified by the referee.
 O'Brien and MeKeeveP, who both come from Philadelphia, were matched to box fifteen rounds at eleven stone four pounds (15S pounds) before the Leeds and Country club. The purse offered was R230, and there was a side bet of a200. The men weighed in at p. m., both being under the middle weight limit.
 No more brilliant sparring was ever seen than that shown by the clever Americans in the first round. No exc cution was done, but the DeWllderlng array of side-steps, feints, jabs, hooks and other features of modern boxing created much enthusiasm. The second round was still more ex- citing and each man landed some tell ing thumps. So evenly were they matched in skill that neither appeared able to secure an advantage. In the third round O'Brien became Every aggressive, and landed a stagger. ing thump on. the side of McKeever's g head The latter made a rush and while at close quarters McKeeyeI tripped O'Brien and threw him heavily to the floor. O'Brien was up in an in stant. but the referee stopped the bout and declared O'Brien the winner on the l foul.
 McKeever evidently became exasper ated by 0'Brien's stinging blows in the third round and lost his head. Nc l Keever claims the backheeling was un- I intentional, and the fall was the result l of each to get out of c1inch without being hit.
 It is probable that the pair will be re-atehed

PATRONAGE IN THE SOUTH.
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
NO LONGER DEALING WITH THAT
TROUBLESOME QUESTION.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.l
Washington, Jan. 1O-An important announce
ment was made to-day by Senator Hanna, as
chairman of the Republican National Commit
tee, concerning the present relations Of the or
ganization to the always annoying and irritat-
ing subject Of the distribution of federal patron
age in the South. Under President Mckinley
the Executive largely depended on the National
Committee to select good men for the federal
offices in the South, particularly in all those
States which had Republican representa-
tive in Congress. This rule necessarily i'm
posed work on the party organization that re-
quired much attention on the part Of Senator
Hanna and other officers Of the committee-so
much. IN fact, that it was found advisable TO
maintain committee headquarters in Washing
ton in order to expedite the hearings and inves-
legations that usually precede the selection Of
men for offices in the South.
But, according TO the statement made to-day
by Senator Hanna 10 National Committeeman
HawIey and State Chairman Cecil Lyons. Of
Texas the National Committee now is sit
ting as a court to decide disputes over Southern
patronage and relieve the President Of the
worry and bother connected with this work
The two Texans called on Mr.. Hanna and sought
his Endorsement Of two or three candidates for
appointments in their State. Mr.. Hanna told
them plainly that he longer was bothered
over filing the offices at the South, and that the
National Committee no longer was expected to
deal with this subject He said, however, that
in several cases of reappointment of Southern
federal officials the President had recently con-
suited him as 10 the character and fitness OF the
men. and he had indorsed for reappointment
only those persons who originally We're appoint
ed on his recommendation.
Senator Hanna's frank announcement of his
present relations chairman of the National
Committee to the appointing power is regarded
with great interest by all the friends OF South
ern oficeseekers in Washington and ii is in
ferred that they viii seek influence through
other sources than the National Committee.
Most of the members of that organization Will
experience a feeling OF relief from the cares and
worrlments that have heretofore attended their
membership in the committee

TO BE ABOUT s8oOooooo-wILL NOT IN
CREASE THE FUNDED DEBT
OF COMPANY.

Atchison common and preferred stocks de-
day received virtual confirmation. that the man
agement had decided TO issue about $30OOO00O
additional bonds The announcement Of the
plans OF the directors was declared 10 be pre-
mature and little in the way Of affirmative in
formation as TO the details could be obtained.
and a meeting Of the executive committee
Thursday. and yesterday President Ripley left
this city for the West. It is known that the
Issue VIII not increase the funded debt Of
the company, and that the bonds will not be
convertible. as are the $1OOO00OOO Of Union
Pacific bonds of 1901. so that the inference was
drawn yesterday that they would be IN the
nature of a debenture obligation.
There is reason 10 believe also, that the pro-
ceeds Of the new bond issue will be applied in
part to reimbursement of the company's treas
ury for moneys invested in the acquisition Of
control Of certain roads, among them being the
Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix, for which,
cording to a statement submitted by President
Ripley TO the stockholders of the Atchison
