SMALL FIRE THIS MORNING
Defective Flues Caused Slight Blaze
at the Bowies Residence.

The fire department was called out
this morning at $50 in response to a
fire alarm turned in from the residence
of Mrs A. S. RoWles. at 332 Whitman
street. Through a defective fiue a
small fire was started between the
fire place and the wall in the Bowles
residence. The blaze was eXtinguish-
ed, however, without the assistance Of
the department. The damage was
slight.
Another alarm was turned in at
o'clock this morning from East Boyer
avenue. The cause could not be To-
Gated by the department, and it was
supposed to have been a false alarm.

Mccoy a Joker !.

Kid AIcCoy's reappearance on the flood tide of pugilism with an offer to fight Fit2sim1nons, Gardner. Ryan or O'Brien is amusing ring followers, who were convinced some time ago, when Kid Carter put on the fresco work, that Mccoy had seen his best days It is hard matter to con- vince some ring experts that Mccoy ever was q real, genuine, first-class pugilist His cleverness as q boxer was always conceded, but he never showed true fighting ability against opponents that could hit and stand a punching. The only men of prominence that Mccoy ever put away were Ryan. when the latter was double-crossed at Maspeth: Dan Creedon, when Mccoy could not knock him out in fifteen rounds at Long Island City, although the Australian was so badly beaten that his seconds threw up the sponge, and Peter Maher, who quit early in the game at Coney Island in fight that looked queer. McCay was squareIy beaten by Sharkey and Choynski, al though the latter was robbed. Corbett beat him in a fake fight when he could have done the trick on the level
 The Kid lodged Fitzsimmons and even Wolcott at every angle and pick ed his marks. His recent warlike challenge, therefore, appears to be the result of q hot-air explosion in the White Light district, or perhaps it means that the Kid is looking for the old gem--~cheap notoriety.

Prize Fight Raided.

New York. Feb. S.--Capt Harkins with the reserves of the Adams street police station, Brooklyn, raided prize fight that was in progress on the fourth floor of the storage warehouse at All Hudson avenue.
 When the police entered the lights were put out and the two hundred or more sports who were gathered around the ilnpromptu ringside ran for the windows. Most of them escaped through them and over adjoining houses.
 2 The police captured the principals, Mike Tuths and Kid Roller, and John Roller, the 1atter's father, who is also the watchman of the building, and eleven others.
 About an hour later 8 man with a broken arm entered the Bergen < street station house and asked for surgical aids He said he had fallen on the sidewalk. The police think that he fell in escaping from the warehouse, and held him, as sus. picious person.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
Their Chances of Success in Business Have Been Growing Smaller
 fn Past Ten Years

As compared with ten years ago, there are many times more persons engaged in manufacturing in the various indus trial lines in Mexico to-day. But Mex leo cannot be called a manufacturing country, nevertheless, and, although the press of the country fails to chronicle the disastrous failures which too fre- quenty happen, not only among those who are swept from comparative wealth to poverty by unsuccessful speculation, but also those of the manufacturing class, it cannot be denied unfortunate conditions exist. --,
 The chances of an American succeed ing in business in Mexico ten years ago, whether in mining or other investments or in manufacturing, were much better than to-day. There are ten Americans In Mexico to-day to one ten years ago There are about 10000 Americans and English in the City of Mexico and prob ably 10000 native and Europeans who also speak the English language
 More than one line of important in- dustry was controlled by English houses 25 years ago. dry goods and hardware especially. In the lines referred to, without exception, there is not an Eng fish house doing business in the repub- lie of Mexico to-day.

Weight Question Again.

What will Young Corbett do about abe Attefs claim upon the feather weight championship of the. werld? Attell knocked out Harry Forbes at St Louis in five rounds last Monday night. and as the weight was 122 pounds Attell declared himself ready to defend the championship against all corners Young Corbett, meanwhile, insists that he is still the feather weight champion. Corbett's trainer. Harry Tuthill. said the other day that the Denver boy could not get below 125 to save his life and be strong, which would make it appear that he will never be able to fight at the, recog- nized featllerweight limit. If. there fore, Gorbett declines to fight Attell at 122 pounds, ring side, the latter will be. recognized as the champion of his class until somebody comes along and beats him. Perhaps McGovern might take q chance at Attell. who is splen- did boxer but not much of a puncher. McGovern has more chance of making 122 than Corbett. as he has not grown heavy so rapidly as the latter. Forbes. whom Attell defeated so handily. was considered sure winner. so that At tells stock has been booming since. It looks as if Yomng Corbett would he forced to get out Of the featherweight class ill tile near future.

THE CHEWING SEASON.
It Is in the Spring Time That tho Jaws Have Their Hardest
 Work to Do.

Do people chew more gum in winter or in summer?'' was asked of man who, in the pursuit of his duties, was empty ing the cash box and filling up the stock receptacles of chewing gum machine on an elevated station platform, says the New York Sun. -1'
 Well, should say there wasn't much difference" was the reply. People chew gum the year round.
 7 "On very cold and stormy days like some of those we have lately had, for instance, people don't chew so much They come out on the platform with their coats buttoned up and they don't unbutton them to get at the cent they want to put in the slot;, though some may come out even then with the cent tn their fingers, all ready. But such ~ery cold days are likely to cut off the sales 8 little, in exposed places, anyway.
 If there is a time when people do chew more gum than they do at others, 1t would be, should say, in March and April; in the spring, when the air is bright and springlike and rsfreshing and people feel good and get hungry and want something to chew on.
 Then, perhaps, the people buy more chewing gum; but as general proposi- ton people chew gum the year round"

George Dixon Forcing the lssue-Who is Feather
 weight Champion?- Oth-
 CT Good Boxing News.

It looks as if George Dixon would secure the coveted chance of meeting Jein Bowker of London for the bantam championship Of England. Ever since Bowker turned Dixon down be- cause the latter refused to meet the Englishman before the National Sport ing club, London, efforts have been made by the negros representative to bring about the match. Dixon's re- cent victory over Cockney Cohen, in which the latter was knocked out, has made the American all the more popu- lar abroad, and Bowker has been se- Eerely censured for ignoring Dixon. It is contended by the rank and file of British sports that Dixon was right in refusing to meet Bowker before the National Sporting club. unless the match was for the purse alone.
 One we'll known sport. who has fol lowed the controversy since its incep- ton, has agreed to back Dixon for $5.- GOO a side against Bowker provided the mill takes place at a neutral club
 lem Loves, who is prominent ill Eng land as q fistic promoter. has offered purse of $1,5O0 for Bowker and Dixon to meet in contest of twenty rounds of three minutes each. the same to be decided the latter part of next month. Dixon. when the offer was proposed, jumped at it and is waiting to hear from Bowker. 1t is likely that Bowker will accept as he is anxious to fight Dixon. He has promised to let Dixon's packers know his intentions some time this week.

 The names Of pitcher Jack Taylor l appearing in the St Louis list means that he will play with St Louis whether Pitcher O'Neill. for whom inc was traded. consents or not to go to Chicago. Zearfoss in the St Louis list is the former New York catcher. Manager Griffith, who is in Chicago
 has just received tho signed contract
 of Fred I<leinow. his new catcher. Kleinow is one of the sturdy German type of Peitz and Schriver. aud is a heavy hitter. Catcher Zaluskey, who was traded for him, has refused to sign with Toledo because he received nll
  a month, which he received from thc l New York Americans last fall. l The Rochester club of the Eastern 1 league has signed q one-armed pitcher named Samuel Griffith of philadei- phia There has not been a one-arIn-
 ed pitcher in the big league since the
 famous pitcher Daiy performed for
 the Clevelands. The latter Is employed
 in this city now, and now and then I goes to see his favorite game. In his l prime Daily could make all of the big hitters guess and with his one hand rir some really marvellous fielding. He pitched his first game on the Boston
 sand lots, where many q noted base 1 ball star learned the inside of the l sport.
 l Among the notable old timers living 1 in Washington are Pitcher Gilmore, Paul Hines, Houck, Billy Groves, Bob
