Ex-Governor Fraacis Denies Reports
 That It yVtii be Postponed

Ex-Governor Framcis Denies Reports That It yytn be Postponed. Washington, Jan. 1E,-Dx- Governor Francis tonight in response to a re- quest from The Associated Press made the following statement regarding re- ports that the Louisiana Purchase ex- position would be postponed from 1903 to 1904:
 ''1 was much surprised to learn that statement had been printed to the eff feet that I had virtually admitted that the fair would be postponed from 1soS to 1904 I have never advocated nor contemplated such action. On behalf of the local company I desire to say that it can be ready for the exposition in 1903 and will be ready. When some newspaper men asked me to- day if the fair would be postponed and I made negative reply was asked if we could not prepare better fair in 1904 than in 1903. I replied: Yes, or so can we prepare a better fair for 2004 than for 1904 I cannot say why this statement should be construed as an admission that the Louisiana Purchase exposition
  fixed by congress and announced by the president in his proclamation inviting foreign countries to participate. Some of the European governments have sent replies declining and one object of my visit to Washington is to ask the state department and the administration to bring additional pressure upon such governments to reconsider their conclu- sion If, however, they should refuse to do so 1t would not mean that St. Louis would not have exhibits from those countries, as our commissioners wolud make direct appeals to manufac turers and other exhibitors therein. One or more foreign countries have given as reasons for their declination that they have not time in which to prepare. Whether the governments so declining would participate in the event of a postponement has not been ascer- tained.
 T am still in conference with the state department and trust that within the next few days some plan will be evolved whereby foreign governments that have declined can be induced to reconsider"
 "If." continued Governor Francis, the state department or the adminis- tration or congress should desire this fair postponed in order to give foreign governments longer time in which to prepared have no doubt the local cor- poration would readily accede to such wishes''
 Do you expect that such a contin- eencv will arisc?" the gov Sernor was asked.
 "No, do not expect it but firmly be- lieve that everything will be in readi- ness and the fair will open on time"

 MT. Van Sohaick said he had run an engine for many years on the New York Central road and that he con- sidered 1t as easy to run train through the tunnel as any other part of the road, providing an engineer un- derstood the signals.
 MT. Van Schaick was asked 8 hypo- thetical question, assuming all the qualifications Wisker was known to possess, whether such man would be safe man to send through the tunnel on a morning like the one when the disaster occurred. MT. Van Schaick answered this question by repeating that it was as easy to run through the tunnel as any place else.
 Joseph H. Franklin, manager of the Grand Central station, and track man. ager of the Harlem railroad from Mott Haven to Forty -second street, resumed his testimony thiS morning. More startling evidence of the knowledge of the company that the signals were fre- quently disregarded was introduced, eighteen engineers reports being read, these being only few of those brought into court.

CONTEST WYTH MAYER IN PHILA-
 DELPHlA 4 FAKE,
the Spectators-CatcaIi and Kisses the Ordex-DemAnd from tho Audience That the Mem be Taken OR-CrOwd Would Not Allow Explanations.

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 17.-Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher, who were heralded to fight six rounds before the
 Industrial Athletic club for the cham | pionstip of Ireland, at the Industria hall tonight, were stopped by Referee | Rocap in the middle of the third round | in one of the poorest exhibitions ever given in this city. The men had been arrested early in the evening and bound l over in $5,o0O bail to keep the peace, and this dampened their vigor and re- duoed the tseam of their blows. There was not blow struck which would have rocked 8 bantam's s head.
 When the bout had progressed for two and half rounds amid incessant catcalls, hisses, and yellS of take them off" and fake" Referee Recap stepped to the side of the ring and said that he had been engaged to referee contest,
 sThis is no contest" he concluded, and the men took their corners and the contest was over
 Both Sharkey and the president of the club attempted to address the am gry crowd. but neither was permitted to speak. The spectators were worked up to such pitch that they broke chairs and benches in their desire to "get even.' It was little satisfaction for the four thousand persons who had paid $2, 8 and $5 for seats.
 The Rounds.
 Round 1--Men spared for a few sec onds. Sharkey first to lead. Maher rushed to a, clinch. It was evident the men intended to obey the mandates of the court, for they merely tapped each other There were loud cries of Take them off" and many of the spectator started to leave the building. There was not blow in the first round hard weight When the men took their cor ners the hall rang with misses and cries ''Take them off, and Fake"
 Round 2-After ffddling for moment, Maher led light left on Sharkey' S stomach and they olinched. Sharkey slapped Maher on the face with the open glove and the two men wrestled the ring. Sharkey led with his right and Maher ducked into light a. light left upperctlt The men continued their love taps and the crowd continued to hiss Sharsey landed a light left and Maher countered with a good stiff right over the heart. Sharkey landed his open glove on Maher's face but the blow was not hard enough to shake Peters head. The men were dancing about the ring when the gong sounded.
 Round 3-Sharkey led for the wiiad, but fell short and Peter tapped him on the face Peter landed a light right on Sharkey's ribs and received a gentle tap on the back of the neck as he tucked Maher led for the head and the men clinehed and wrestled. Shar- key tapred TGher on the head and got light blow on the stomach in return. In the middle of the round Referee Ro- cap walked to the side of the ring and said: "Gentlemen, I was asked to ref cree contest; this is no contest" The men took to their corners and Sharkey attempted to make speech but the crowd was so boisterous that his words were lost among the catcalls and misses. The contest was then aban- doned.
