Secretary Tracy GiTes His Opinion About the Two-Minute Trotter. 6EKEEAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI rf rtCIAI. CTXXOHUC TO TBI SIRFXTCH.1 New Yobk, Dec. 7. For some unknown reason the opinion seems current tbat Pugilist Pete'r Maher has neglected to get himself in proper condition tor bis battle with Goddard, and is in consequenoe in capable of really making it interesting for the Barrier champion on Thursday night. A number of newspaper men and sports, in cluding Dave Holland, Matter's backer, and John Brady, visited Alahef yesterday. Maher never looked better in his life. Bis skin is as white and firm as human training skill could possibly make it. There is not an ounce ol adipose tissue visible. His flesh to the touch is as hard and tough as shoe leather, and his splendid condition re flects great credit upon his laithlul trainer, Tommy Clark. When Maher first commenced the ardu ous task set before him he weighed something In the neighborhood of 194 pounds. Yes terday, in the presence of reporters, he tipped the scales at exactly 175. The methods he employed in getting rid of the obnoxious superfluous flesh he illustrated. Peter's first taste of hard work comes at 6:30 in the morning, when his already fa miliar footsteps may be heard as they travel at a gentle trot back over the hill of Nave- sink. He usually takes a ten-mile spin and then returns to his abode. Then fol lows the punching-bag exercise, which usually lasts 40 min utes or so. This leather covered sphere, by the way, met with a sad late yesterday. Peter grew so energetic over "his work that he nut more force than usual in his blows and burst the bag to pieces. A new one had to be substituted. After this had been dispensed with he tried his strength at the "wrist machine," then a trial of bis wind, skipping the rope, and a lew minutes with the dumbbells. Aiter this follows a brisk exercise with the "med icine" ball, and then a rub down. The same routine is followed in the afternoon, only that the walk is stretched to 15 miles, and running up and down SO steps for 20 min utes is added to the programme. He is rubbed down good and hard this time iu alcohol and then takes a short walk. The betting to-day was S .ai and as high as 6 to 4 on Goddard. Maher's stock is going up and the immediate friends of both men to-day bet money; at least they de posited money as bets. There are many suspicious people who think the contest is "fixed." If it is Maher will win it, and he has a good chauce to win on the square. MEYEE AHD BUSGE. The Western Cyclone Wants to Fight the English Champion Lightweight. CHiCAOo,Dec.7. pfcia Billy Meyer has' decided to enter the prize ring again and last night signod to fight Dick Surge, the English lightweight champion, before the Olymnlc Club of New Orleans llardl Gras week for a purse of $5,000. So welzht has been stipulated In the offer, but it is probable tbat the men will weigh in at 133 pounds. It remains to be seen whether the Olym pics can sign Surge. McAullffe stands in the way of such a match. The Crescent Club will bid high lor a match between Burge and McAullffe. and if the latter consents to meet the English champion the latter will no doubt accept the largest money offer. Even if he does, however, the Olympics will no dnnbt secure a match for Meyer. The Olympics last night telegraphed an offer of $2,000 for Evan Lewis and Ernest Roe be r to wrestle for. Lewis telegraphed back asking what styles ot wrestling were wanted. Be will accept the offer. The Olympics further telegraphed an offer to Joe Cboynskt to meet the winner of the Maher-Cxoddard fight. "Parson" Davits, Cho nski's manager, refused to commit him self in tne matter and telegraphed back to wait until tnere was a winner of Thursday's fight and then he would act. TEE ISISH CHAMPION. Peter -Maher Fancied by Shrewd Men to TVin This Evening's Battle. More than three carloads or Pittsourgers left Union depot last evening for New Tork to witness the big glove contest this even ing between Goddard and Maher. Among the number were some very prominent cit izens. The betting in local circles yesterday was brisk and there was a good supply of Maher money. The latest local betting was 5 to on GodJard. Yesterday morning it was 100 to 75 and as big as 2 to 1 on Goddard. Some private "tips" from the East state that the voung Irish champion is a sure winner, and that the odds published are raise odds. It is also stated tbat the contest is arranged for Maher to win it. Some well informed peo ple believe in the latter. Maher Is All Right. Kiw York, Dec. 7. 8pmaV For the pur pose of investigating thoroughly the rumor to the effect that Peter Maher had not been training properly for his fight with "Joe" Goddard on Thursday night, the Coney Island Athletic Club sent a representative, accompanied by Beveral newspaper men, to Maher's training quarters at Kaveslng High lands yesterday. The result of the Investi gation showed that the reports were untrue, lbe party found the Irish champion hard at work and in excellent condition. "Tom!' Clark, who is training Maher, says Peter has been working faithfully for the mill, and that he is now in better condition to fight than he was when he fought Fitzslmmons. "When Maher began to prepare lor the fight he weighed 191 pounds. He now tips the beam at 175K pounds. Fitzslmmons has been with Maher for several days Eiving some valuable points on how to fight God dard. and "Tom" Clark says Peter will sur prise some of the knowing ones by the show ing be will make against the Australian.

In spite of bis cablegrams and letters to the manufacturers. Ives said to-day: "The matcn is to be played in Jan uary, and 1 don't see how it's going to be done unless I can get to work at practice right away. I have communicated with my backer in England, apprising him or the tacts in the case and telling him to be wary. It would be silly for me to ontempt any match with Roberts without a good bit of practice at his own game." Ives still bas the Brunswick emblem, althouzh he has re quested tne company to sena ior tne cup. He says he never again will play for it. and tbat a game withshaefferisnoratallllkely. Batlng'Xachts.

Democrats regin an Assault on the Silver and cogar Laws. THE BIO MONET NEEDED BT UNCLE SAM "Washington, Dec. 7. The President to-day, in answer to a resolution, transmit ted to tbe Senate the report on the agree ment betw een the United States and Great Britain concerning armament on the great lakes. The resolution. called explicitly for an opinion from the State Department as to whether the arrangement of 1817 is now held to be in force. ' The Secretary of State, In his report to day, states that the correipondence ex changed in 1861 shows that It is so re garded. It does not appear, he'says, that any British or Canadian naval vessels are now or have Deen for many years stationed on the lakes. The report says: Ko Information has been received as to the number, tonnage and armament of Brit ish revenue vessels stationed In these waters, but it bas been recently stated on the authority of a report to tho Treasury Department that two vessels for the Domin ion Government have been constructed at Owen Sound, Ontario, nnd that although styled "revenue cutters," and destined to suppress smuggling on the St. Lawrence river and the lakes, they are in reality capable of adaptation to naval purposes.. The Secretary then adds sienificantlv that "additional weight is perhaps lent to this latter aspect of the report by the precau tions that appear to have been taken to guard them from public inspection." The dimensions of the locks in the St. Lawrence river canals exclude the entrance into the lakes of any vessels exceeding nine feet draft or 200 leet in length; and the only vessels borne on the British naval list which appear to be capable of passage from the deep seaso the lnkes'o.re some 43 tugs drawing eight feet and armed with rapid-firing guns. As between the two countries, the arrangement of 1817 is to be regarded as still in existence, nnd only terminable in good faith by six months' notice of abrogation on either side. The circumstances and lorm of the original arrangement of 1817 show it did not purport to be more than a record of an nnderstanding mutually reached by the two Governments for reciprocal regulation of a matter within the administrative com petence of each. The question of the spirit which controls the understanding of the two great Governments is to-day of vastly greater importance to their interests than any narrow contentions respecting its lit eral observance. Mr. Foster then makes the following recommendation: In seems most desirable now, In view of the long lapse of time and the vast changes wrought in tbeso and other no less impor tant regards, that the arrangement now giown obsolete in practice aud surviving in tbe letter only as a declared guarantee, oi in ternational peace, sbonld be modified to fit tbe new order of things, and with such adaptation to the exigencies of the future as prudence may forecast. $505,861,335 NECESSARY To Ran Undo Sam's Government Next Tear Estimates Made by House and Senate Committee Clerks The House Slaking an Inquiry for the Fnture. "Washington, Dec. 7. A statement pre pared by Messrs. Courts and Cleaves, clerks, respectively, to the House and Senate Com mittees on Appropriations, shows that the estimates for regular annnal and permanent appropriations for the fiscal year 1893-94 aggregate 5503,861,335 an increase over the .estimates for the current fiscal year of 515, 929,241, and over the appropriations (ex clusive of deficiencies nd miscellaneous) of 517,367,600. The appropriations, however, included 521,154,218 for rivers and harbors, ior which do estimates are made. The total estimated revenues for 1894 ag gregate 5490,121,365, including 585,121,365 estimated postal revenues. This leaves an excess of estimated appropriations (exclu sive of deficiencies and miscellaneous) over litimated revenues of 515,739,969, and by deducting from the estimated expenditures 548,600,000 for the sinking fund, an excess in estimated receipts over estimated ex penditures is figured of 532,860,030. The appropriations never equal the esti mates, bul on the other hand, no defi ciency or miscellaneous appropriations are included in the estimates. The estimates do not include anything for rivers and harbors, on account of which the Chief of Engineers says tbat 558,064,950 can be prof itably expended. itepresentatlve Wilson.of west Virginia, to-day offered tor reference to the Commit tee on Rules the following resolution: Resolved, That the Committee on Ways and Means be authorized and instructed to inquire and report as to tbe present con. dltlon of the treasury and the futuro proba ble revenues under existing laws, and to that end the committee Is particularly In structed to ascertain the amount, as near as may be, that will be required lor payment or pensions prior to June 80, 1894; the amount of all unexpended appropriations and the amount required to complete works now authorized by law; the Items of the sums to the credit of the disbursing officers, tbe amount of probable revenue between this date and June 30, 1891, and tne dates at whioh the same will be collected by the treasury, together with all other facts which may be useful to show tbe present and futuro con dition of the treasury, SILVER AND SUGAR. Proposed Legislation on Two Important Subjects Hill Starts the Sherman Act Repealing Ball Rolling Harter After the Sugar Bounty. "Washington, Dec 7. A bill intro duced by Senator Hill to-day to repsal the Sherman silver purchase act of July 14, 1890, excepts the fifth and sixth sections, which do not relate to silver coinage. Representative Williams has submitted the following, in lieu of other bills before the House Committee having in view tbe repeal of the Sherman law: Section 1 Tbat the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to discontinue from and after the first day of February, 1893, the pur chase of silver bullion authorized and dlreoted by the act, entitled "An act direct ting tbe purchase or silver bullion, and the issue' or treasury notes tbereon, and for other purposes." Section 2 That after the passage of this act all deposits received for tbe redemption of circulating notes of National banks shall be placed with the Treasurer ot the United States to the respective credits of the Na tional banks making such deposits, and all the provisions of law shall be appllcablejto like deposits before the passage of the said act or July It, 1890. A bill having for its object the establish ment of a uniform revenue customs duty upon sugar, and the abolishment ot the payment of sugar bounties, was introduced in the House to-day by Representative Harter, of Ohio. It provides, in detail, that on and after February 1, 1893, a uni form tariff tax or customs duty of one-half of 1 cent per pound be levied'ou all grades of sugar imported into the United States and that the payment oi all bounties to producers of sugar in the United States shall cease ou February 1 next.
