THE SCR ANTON TTtlBUNE FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 4, 189G. ECHOES OF THAT BIG PRIZE FIGHT Bob Fitzslmmons IsAofry at the De clsloo of the Referee. EARP MAKES AN EXPLANATION Insists That the Knock Ont Blow Was Foul Whether Intentional or OtherwiseThe Opinion of Other Sporting McnShnrkcy Ii Quite Badly InjuredFitisliiimons Shows No III Effects From the Fight. San Francisco, Doc. 3. Fitzslmmons was around the Baldwin hotel at an early hour this morning, showing nut the faintest trace of his encounter, with Sharkey last night. He is most bitter in his denunciation of the 'sailors" foul tactics. Referee Karp and the management of the fight. He says he was robbed of the decision and that it was a preconcerted scheme to give the battle to his opponent. The blow which laid Sharkey low, the Australian del-lured, was a rlsrht hand hook on the Ktumach. This landed fairly and not below the belt as maintained bv the referee. Kltzsimmons is anxious to meet Sharkey again and will tight him uny time and place the latter may name. Those in attendance upon Shar key say that he suffered terribly all night, requiring the constant services t two physlciuns up to four o'clock, w hen he fell asleep. Three of the most reputable citizens In this city. Doctors H. It. Lee, 1. K. Hagan and T. A. Itottanzl. examined Sharkey ut 10.15 this morning. The result was this statement from Dr. Hnguii, the other two doctors acquies cing: "Sharkey had a gash over the left eye, which could not huve been caused by a blow from a glove, as the eye Is nut closed, also a swelling on thu left cheek, to which we applied a leech this morning. The left ear Is swollen from extravasation, or blood settling under the surface. There Is not a bruise or a murk on the upper part of the body suve a slight abrasion of the skin, caused by contact with the 'ropes In the tilth round and which is of no conse quence whatever. This is what caused the ilium1 ge." Here Sharkey was stripped and the physician pointed to a huge swelling on the lower part of the body near the gruln. There was discoloration in one spot showing where the blow had land ed. This Sharkey said was caused by Fitzsimmons hooking him with his el bow. Dr. liuiin explained the swell ing was the same as in the ear and would require leeches to subdue. There is no hernia and no permanent Injury, but the doctors were unanimous in the belief that Sharkey could never have entered the ring or stood on his feet had he been In his present condition. It will be several days before Sharkey can leave his bed. KARP'S DEFENSE. New York, Dec. 3. Wyott Earp, referee of the Sharkey-Fltzsimmons light, telegraphs the Evening Journal as follows regarding his decision: "The foul blow of the night was seen plainly by me. Fltz smashed with 1-8 right on Sharkey's shoulder, and then with an uppercut with the left he struck the sailor below the belt. Shar key was leaning over and the blow knocked him down. "It was clearly a foul and before the sailor moved I mentioned that the fight was over. The first blow was weak and I believe the second blow was in tended for an uppercut, but it struck foul. "No man on earth ever questioned my honor, I have been In many places and In peculiar situations, but no one ever said till tonight that I was guilty of a dishonorable act, and I will re peat that I decided in all fairness and that my judgment was as true as my eyesight, I saw the foul blow." Mr. McNaughton, sporting editor of the San Francisco Examiner, tele graphed the Journal as follows: "If Fitzslmmons struck Sharkey a foul blow last night I did not see it. But even at that I would scarcely like to go on record as saying thut the punch on which the fight was given to the sailor was no foul, as Fits had his back to me." "1 saw a whizzing left hook go up from Fitzslmmons' hip. It caught Sharkey on the chin or mouth and the sailor began to sink. Then I saw Fitzslmmons' right elbow come back and he delivered a body punch. I should Imagine It took effect some where about Sharkey's stomach or short ribs, on the left side. Anyhow, In a moment Shurkey was on the floor on his back. He was not knocked out. He was making grimaces and placing his hand on his groin, and if he were not In agony all I can say is that he must be a consummate actor and must have acted that particular scene many a time. Afterward I heard a dozen citizens of excellent reputation say they saw the foul plainly. Some of them said the blow was accidental and oth ers thought from the manner of its de livery that it was Intentional. This Is something I cannot understand. In the fl'th round, when Fltz sent Sharkey down under the ropes, the Cornlshman put out his hand and helped the sailor to his feet. He complained to the referee and chided Sharkey every time the sailor struck foul In his clinches. Why on earth should he alter his tac tics and fight foul, the more especially as he was over the worst part of the Journey and had his opportunity?" VICTIMS OP WEYLER'S ORDER. Two Thousand Persons Dying in Bramalcs of Hunger. Havana, Dec. 3. In Bramales, prov ince of Pinar Del Rio, the situation of the poor country families obliged to gather In the town by the recent de cree of Oeneral Weyler Is so awful that more than 10,000 persons are dying there from hunger. Public subscrip tions have been raised in Havana to send them clothes and food, but In the general financial distress of the coun try not much help Is obtained for these unfortunates. The families that could not reach Bramales within three days after the promulgation of the decree have been mercilessly slain by the Spanish guer rilas. These guerrillas do not dare to travel too far In their march from the main body of the column to which they belong for fear of Insurgent ambushes, but they are called the "Black Van guards" of the Spanish columns. They are composed principally of negros, and their deadly work Is against the paclficos. They do not spare old men, women or children, whom they tear to pieces with their machetes. The inhabitants of Plnar Del Rio therefore are dying from hunger, as In the case of the people of Bramales, or are being massacred by the soldiers of Weyler. ALLEQED VITRIOL THROWER.

Two bottles, one nearly empty and another full, were discovered In Staf fers house since his arrest, and were found to contain the dangerous acid. Staffel tried to explain that he had purchased it to doctor his chickens, but the alderman failed to believe the story, and said it waa more probable that he bought it to "doctor" bis wife.

Mlddlesboro, Ky.. Dec. 3. Meagre de tails have reached here of a battle in Letcher county, between the Morgan fumtly, strong supporters of Congress man D. Q. Colson, and the Harrison family, advocates of ex-Congressman John D. White in the recent congres sional election. William Morgan and his three sons, Thomas, Caleb and John, met William Harrison and his sons, Jim and Henry. After a few words guns were drawn. Old man Morgan fell dead nt the first fire and when the flsht was over Jim and Henry Harrison ulso lay dead and Tom and Caleb Morgan were dy ing. MRS. DRAYTON TO WED. George Hale, a Scotchman, (be Man Wbo U to Lead Mrs. Astir' s Daughter to (be Altar. New York, Dec. 3. It was reported yesterday on what seems the best of authority that Mrs. Augusta Drayton, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Astor, is about to be married ugaln. The happy man Is George Haig. a Scotchmnn of position, now a member of the firm of Halg & Halg, whiskey merchants, with heudquarters In Lon don. Mr. Haig Is 40 years of age, and a fuvorite and well-known man-about-town, and has been very devoted to Mrs. Drayton during her residence In London. His sister married Mr. Jamle 8i n. the head of the great distilling firm of that name, and is a very smart woman in London society. During the latter purt of this season George Haig arrived at Newport and spent a few days there without becom ing generally known In society. It now appears that his mission was to see Mrs. Astor and ask her permission to marry her daughter, as well as to make some arrangements about a settlement upon his intended bride, as he was not a mnn of much wealth. When his visit to Newport was con cluded he confided to an English friend here that his purpose had been accom plished in an entirely satisfactory manner, and he returned home imme diately. Only a very few of Mrs. Drayton's old friends are aware of her engage ment to Mr. Haig. which has not yet been formally announced, either in London or New York. The marriage will be a happy ending to as pretty a social disturbance as ever agitated New York society, yet nobody here has yet received word as to the date of the wedding. It will be remembered that Coleman Drayton sued his wife for, divorce on statutory grounds, naming Hallict A. Horrowe as corespondent. The case dragged Its slow and weary length through the New Jersey courts until society was much surprised to learn that Mr. Dayton had retired from the aggressive position he had at first as sumed and had permitted his wife to obtain a divorce from him on the grounds of desertion un nbnsupport. Neither of the parties to either suit ever put In an appearance in court, and the greatest Influence was brought to bear to keep even the formal motions of the lawyers as quiet as possible. A few weeks ago Mr. Horrowe mar ried Miss Corbin, a daughter of the late Austin Corbin. Cobman Drayton has established a quiet home for him pelf and children nt Tuxedo, and when Mrs. Drayton marries Mr. Halg the last memory of u painful event will have hupplly passed away. SAT0LLI RECEIVES A RED HAT. Imposing Ceremony at the Pope's Public Consistory. Rome, Deo. 3. There was the usual imposing ceremony at the public con sistory here today and red hats were bestowed on Cardinal Satolll and the other cardinals nominated at the two last consistories.

"Long live the kins!" Later the pone held a secret consist ory and appointed several bishops, in cluding the Rev. Edward O'Dea. of Portland, Ore., to be Bishop of Nes qually, which embraces the state of Washington. The king of Servla was present at the public consistory today. CAN HEAR HER HEART BEATS. Scientists Interested in the Case of a Suffering Child. Paris, Dec. 3. Oreat Interest Is mani fested in scientific circles In the case of a 4-year-old American girl who was presented before the Academie de Med icie by Dr. Klein, of London. When a baby she accidentally fell downstairs and received concussion of the brain, but recovered In a few days. Recently It was discovered that the heart beats could be heard distinctly when the ear was placed to the child's head. Medical men consider it a most remarkable case and will endeavor to find the cause. FANATIC STARVING TO DEATH. Woman Refuses Food Because the Lord Says So, She Declares. Sharon, Pa.. Dec. 3. A strange story came to light from Orangeville, O., near this city. Mary Winters was found in her home dying from starvation, and when friends offered her food she re fused to take It, saying that she had been called by the Lord, and she would obey His will. She has not touched any food for over three weeks. General Strike Dcclnrcd. Hamburg, Dec. 3.

GOOD SH0WINQ FOR PAST YEAR The Manufacturers Have Willingly Complied with the Law and Pros ecutions Have Not Been Necessary. Hecom mends That the SemiMon thly Pay Law Be AmendcdOthcr Suggestions Made. Ilarrlsburg, Pa.. Dec. 3. Chief Fac tory Inspector Campbell has sent his annual report to Governor Hastings. He Buys manufacturers have willingly complied with all the requirements of the law. It was not necessary to prose cute a single case during the year. A great many establishments are not umendable to the factory luw because they do not employ five women, five minors, or five of both. Chief Campbell says the law should be amended that all establishments employing men. women or children come under Its provisions, thereby protecting all employes. He suys further: "The department having no authority to inspect boilers, there should be legislation either re quiring a certificate of safety or a competent boiler inspector furnished by the department." He also says: "All children between the age of thirteen and sixteen years should be required to have n certificate from the school su perintendent In which they live that they had attended school at least six months in the school term preceding their engagement to labor, and no min or under the ase of eighteen be em ployed that cannot read and write the English language. The law limiting the aire of children before they can be employed In shops and factories, should apply to all other avocations in which children are employed, and the restric tion of the hours of labor of minors to sixty hours a week should apply to j women. PAY LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED. In the judgment of the chief inspector the snil-monthly pay law should be so amended that It would be less cum bersome, and he suggests that the de- ' purtment should be relieved of the re- i sponsibllity of prosecutlns firms that I are not amenable to factory inspection. He cays the sweat shop law has re sulted In securing better and larger shops and Improved sanitary condi tions, but does not reach the family worker. He thinks the law should be amended so as to require this class to take out permits. He says a tour through the sweat shop district will convince anyone of the Importance of a restrictive Immigration law. The inspector recommends that bake shops be made subject to factory in spection. A summary of the work done by the department shows that 6,68 Inspections were made of factor ies and shops, where 369.5S5 persons are employed. Number of accidents re ported was 1.034; fatalities, 77. The total number of persons employed In the sweat shops inspected was 2.054 and the total number of employes 14, 40!. DIPLOMATS AGITATED. News ol tbe Issuance of Rctalia'o y Proclamation Agiin t G.'rrcany Is Received with Interest. Washington, D. C Dee. 3. News of the issuance of the president's retalia tory proclamation against Germany was received with Intense interest oy the diplomatic corps, especially by the ambassadors of Great Britain and France. An Inkling of the Intention had reached them ten days ago and has been communicated to their re spective governments. Both ambassa dors have been diligently looking up the official literature bearing on the subject, which is both interesting and pointed. The re-lmnosltlon of tonnage dues on German vessels is understood to be due to a quiet Investigation, con ducted during the past year by Mr. Chamberlain, I'nlted States commis sioner of navigation, who went abroad for that purpose. He found that while the imperial government of Germany as a nation did not Impose any ton nage duties on American vessels ar riving at German ports, the maritime states which compose part of the Ger man empire, do impose such a tax in violation of the treaty existing be tween the two countries. The German tonnage tax now being Imposed is about six and a half cents per ton, or greater than the tax re voked by the president In his procla mation of Jan. 28, 18S8, and which Is now revived. Mr. Chamberlain said this afternoon he would. In accordance with the presi dent's proclamation, Immediately be gin the preparations of regulations to carry the proclamation Into effect. Mr. Von Reichenau, charge d' affairs of the German embassy, declined to ex press an opinion this afternoon, when spoken with regarding the president's proclamation. He simply stated in a general way that the matter had been the subject of correspondence for some time, but that he could neither antici pate what action the Imperial govern ment would take with reference to the proclamation nor did he care to express an opinion regarding It. It Is not believed that the German government will consent to the imposi tion of a discriminating tax on Ger man vessels without at least a more vigorous protest than has yet been mnde. The German contention, It Is understood, is that the tax complained of In the president's proclamation Is not Imposed solely on American ves sels, but upon vessels of all nationali ties, including German vessels. The revenues arising from the tax are not covered into the imperial treasury, but become the property of the several states within whose Jurisdiction the tax is laid. It Is argued that if Ger many should rescind this tax, as far as Amorlcan vessels are concerned. It should at once call forth a protest not only from English, French and other European powers whose vessels would still be subject to taxation, but from German shippers as well. TRIED TO SHOOT COLSON. The Father of an Eloping t.irl Abuses Her Companion. Pinevllle. Ky.. Dec. 3 J. L. Christ and Miss Katie Emmal, of Mlddlesboro. ran away from home yesterday to git married. William Emmal, father of the girl, caugtht them on a train. Miss Katie was sitting beside Congressman D. G. Colson, of Mlddlesboro, who was on his way to Washington, and Emmal thought he was aiding in the elope ment. He began to abuse the congressman, who struck him In the face. Emmal then drew a pistol and attempted to shoot Mr. Colson, but the conductor grabbed the weapon. SHOOTING MATCH CLOSED. The Competitors in the Live Bird Tournament Make C.ood Records. Treton, N.

But tbe Business Is on the Road to Improve merit S.'rong Undercurrent with No Weakening of Prices. nttsburg, Pa.. Dec. 3. Tomorrow's edition of the American Manufacturer will Bay concerning the Iron and steel trade: The situation in the Iron and steel trade Just now is very similar to that noted previous to the election. Nearly all lines seem to have become steadier, and some show signs of less activity. In a few lines prices are hardly as strong as they were three weeks ago. The amount of business done during the past week was quite small. Neither side wants to push the market, conse quently trade Is decidedly quiet. At the tamo time there is nothing like a slump In any line, and considering ev erything, the entire trade Is still on the road to improvement. It has been found that in some few branches of the market the expectation of higher prices Immediately after the election caused holders to pile up stocks which have since been put out, thus lowering prices. This has bfen the case wltn Itcfsemcr pig particularly. The east ern markets have been rather disap pointing. Chicago reports a strong undercurrent of business, with no wcakeuing In prices. In Cincinnati large sales of bridge material and sheet Iron Is In good demand. Cleve land reports trade fair, with the im provement being sustained. THE BOY WAS WONDERING. And His Thoughts Ban Into One of the Pecularities of Women. Prom the San Francisco Post. A small boy In Alameda found a lovely sand heap In front of his fath er's house the other mornlns. and he built roads and houses until he was tired of playing In the dry sand. Then he carried a bucket of water and mixed up a beautiful mud puddle. It was a warm day and the wet sand appeared so cool and soft that he sat down In it. The boy's mother happened to be brushing her hair at that moment, and, glancing out of the window, observed him cooling himself. She led him around to the wood shed by the ear, and found she would have to remove his clothes before she could take him into the house. "It seems as if Providence had de signed It," she mused as she glanced ut the half naked boy and the hair brush, so she proceeded to bring the two together In vigorous style Then she took him In, put a clean jatr of trousers on him. and made him sit on a chair. He did not cry, but sat scowl ing defiantly. "Now, look here, Frankle," said the mother, "I don't want you to sit there and sulk. I don't like to, punish you, but I had to do it." - " 'Taint that," he replied promptly. "I was Just wondering If women that lick their little boys with hair brushes go to heaven."
